 Pounds to Inch.

Plumerville, Sept. 1.--Natural gas last night lighted the town of Plumerville. Although all the gas pressure was not turned on, the light from the burning gas was sufficient to light up the en- tire town. J. B. K. Streator, the local manager of the company, says the flow of gas is more than sufficient to light every business house and residence in Plumer. vile.
 The gas is being furnished from the we'll that was drilled about a mile from this place on the property of Judge John B. Jones. Indications of gas showed several days ago, but no effort was made to test the strength oi the flow until yesterday. The tests made at the well show pressure of 70 pounds to the inch.
 The gas has been piped te Plumerville through water pipt line that was being used by tht drillers.
 There has been a rumor that the we'll would be abandoned, bu how the rumor gained circulation is not known, as 1t was stated yesterday that the Judge Jone' company intends to develop th' the well.

 The parade formed along De Queen street, heading near Labor headquarters, made short march along the down town streets and then out on Janssen avenue to the grounds selected for the pic. mic, speaking and other exercises.
 The marching line was headed by the Carpenters Union. and the Brick Masons, Painters, aud American Federation of Labor and Farmers Unions fol- lowing in the order named. The Farmers Unions were Ransom No. 9l7, Liberty No. 335.

BAD BISCUITS FOR PRISONERS.
Arkansas Penitsntiary Commissionel
 Finds Flour Full of Bugs.

Little Rock, Sept. 2.-As a re- suit of an investigation made yesterday by Commissioners Guy B. Tucker into the quality of the flour recently supplied to the state penitentiary, he will move at today's session of the Peniten- tiary Board that the official who was responsible for the purchase be smumarily dismissed.
 With State Senator Carlock, Commissioner Tucker made a visit to the new penitentiary and stayed to dinner. The quality of the biscuits was a revelation to the commissioner, it is said, and he immediately asked to De shown some of the flour from which they were made. His re- quest was complied with and he was taken to the storeroom, where he opened some of the sacks in the consignment.
 A small quantity of flour from the top of the sack was taken as a sample, and worms half an inch long and bugs of even greater length were found, according to MT. Tucker, in almost equal pro- portion to the flour. The sam ples were put in envelopes and will be presented at the meeting of the Peuitentiary Board as evi- dence of the purchasing officials iucompetency.
 The biscuits made from the flour were, according to the com missioner, unfit to eat. Ia aP' pearance they were said to be green, soggy and full of grease The flour from which they bad been made was sifted three times liu the kitchen, but even that had failed to clear the greenish color

FARMERS UNION
 IN SESSION
Delegates of National Educational and Cooperative Union of America Convened in Little Rock
 Today.
Little Rock, Sept. 2.

Llttle MOCK, Oept. /.
 Delegates from every Southern state, from the states of the Pacific slope and as far north as Nebraska, who will represent 1,5OO, 900 members of the Farm ers' Educational and Cooperative Union of America, assembled in Little Rock at 10 o'clock this morning in the hall of the House of Representatives for the nation al convention of the organization which will be in session three days.
 The fixing of the minimum price on the growing cotton and grain crops that will be demanded for the harvest of 1907 and the consideration of plans that will bro aden the scope of the Farmers Union will be the features of the convention.
 Miss Lutie Gresham, daughter of the founder of the Farmers Union, is expected to arrive to- day, and she will be the guest of honor at the convention. She IS but sixteen years old, and her home is at Point, Range county, Texas, where the Farmers Union had its inception four years ago. Prominent Southern cotton men and fuauciers are expected to be iu attendance and make speeches during the opening meetings.
 The Farmers Union owes its org anizatio to the foresight of one man, Newt Gresham, who called a meeting of his neighbors at Point, Texas, about four years ago, and stated to them that the 1 farmers were not receiving the legitimate price for their pro- ducts. A township local was formed, and from this small be- ginning the order has branched out into one of the largest, if not the largest, union in the world. County organizations were made in Texas, and finally state officers were elected and the propaeanda carried into adjoining states. For three years the convention has fixed the price of cotton and grain and has been able 10 main

FUNERAL OF JOHN ANDERSON.
Held at Foreman Yesterday Under
 Auspices of Woodmen of the World

Hal l.. Norwood returned Mon. day from Foreman after attend. ing the funeral of Mir. John Anderson, Mrs. Norwood's brother. Mrs. Norwood was not able to return Monday but she arrived home Tuesday. Not being we'll when the shocking news of her brotner's death was received the trying ordeal has been very severe.
 Speaking of the death of Mir. Anderson, MT. Norwood stated that 1t was not definitely known whether death was caused by drowning or by some sudden physical ailmeut. Ia company with three other young men Mir. Anderson went out on the bayou to spend the day. After a picnic dinner they decided to go in bath ing, with the exception of one of the boys who could not swim. While in the water Mir. Anderson said he believed he would swim across to the other bank but while on his way, without a sound of distress or warning, his com- panions saw him sink under the surface of the water. One of the boys swan at once to his relief and succeeded in getting hold of him and swimming part of the way to shore. He became over come with fatigue. however, and called to the other companion for assistance. and letting go his hold on Anderson was barely able to get out of the water himself. Mir. Elliott, who came to the re- lief, also succeeded in bringing the body, which was apparently liTeless, a little nearer the bank but became exhausted and had to be helped out with pole handed him by the fourth member of the party who could not swim. MT. Anderson body again sank out of sight but was recovered a couple of hours later.
 The funeral which was held at Foreman yesterday afternoon, was largely attended and was conducted by the Woodman of the World of which the deceased was a prominent member and in which he carried S2,000 insurance in favor of his mother.

STRANGE WORK
 FOR LIBRARY
Women of Dumas Raising | Crop of Cotton to Aid Library Fund Town of 500 People Raised
 $l,000 for Books.

Dumas, Sept. l.-By making and selling cakes and pies, sew ing, selling cigars, and even by carrying notes from young men to the popular young ladies of their town. the public-spirited women of Dumas, all members of the Dumas Library Club, have raised more than S1,000 for the establishment of a public library in this enterprising little town. These women have even gone so far as to plant, blow and pick cotton on an acre of ground which one of the prominent and interested citizens donated to the club. They hope to make bale of cotton on thls acre of ground, and as it will most likely be ginned without cost to them, they will realize a substantial sum to add to their fast growing fund.
 The Dumas Library Club has
 been organized only l6 months, and, considering that Dumas has
 only 500 people, $1, 1000 is a large sum to be obtained in so sbort a
 time. When the big barbecue
 was given at Dumas and the chief executive of the state was present, the ladies made SS5 by selling sandwiches.
 Already 2s5 volumes have been purchased, and another order of books may be purchased in few
 weeks.
 The officers of the club are: Mrs. Alphie Kiteley. president; Mrs. w. M. Carnley, secretary aud treasurer. Mrs. Jack Beru- hardt is one of the hardest work CTS among the members.

 K. D. Osborn made the address of welcom on behalf of the unions and the Rev. J. J. Henderson and MT. Martin, county lecturer tor the union, addressed those pre- sent. An orchestra provided plenty of instrumental music. The ouly complaint made by the members of the visiting Farmers Unions were that the showers scared so many away that there were not enough to eat the big dinner they had pro vided, and that the rain was not heavier.

RELIEVED END OF
 WORLD AT HAND
rs. Rev. Samuel Wilhite of Baxter r rountv Demonstratrd His Faith but Found no Followers Desti-
 tute in New York.


 nen now alive there have .rised prophets who set a day ,rhen the .'world was coming to = end" And in almost every ;,s,ance there have been numbers of people who have believed and have given away property. ceased .o work and lived in terror await ing tie end of all earthly things.
 Perhaps the most marked ex- ception in this latter phase IS in .ha case of tue Rev. Samuel Will h;te of Baxter county, Arkansas. who had a vision, proved his own faith but found no followers In b;s own country or elsewhere, and now probably realizes that he has had bad dream and has followed it to sad ending for himself and family.
 The New York World tells the following story of Mir. Wilhite and his prophecy:
 "Convinced that he is the mouthpiece of the Almighty, the Rev. Samuel Wilhite of Arkansas declared last night that millions of unbelievers are to be swept of the face of the earth in this country on Sunday.
 "rhe Rev. Mr. Wilhite de- livered his warning from bench iu the Municipal lodging house, where he, his wife and two of his five children have found tempo rary asylum.
 "The Rev. Samuel Wilhite says he was born in the Cumbe land mountains, where, when he was boy, he become an exhorter. He wandered into Arkansas, where he pre-empted quarter section in Hopewell township, Baxter county, and built him log cabin. Then he married and went to work 10 till and stock his farm. He prospered as farmer aud preached all over Baxter county. He was given to hovlog visions, and generally predlcted mean things lu store for the uu- godly.
 "On July p last he was pray ing in his corntield when he was placed under some mysterious in- Auence, he says, and had vision from heaven, in which the Al. mighty appeared to him and bade him go out and preach to all the world for forty days, warning them that at the end of that time all who had not hardened to him and sought refuge ,n religion would be carried off by strange disease.
 Next day he gave away bis farm, he says, gathered up some Of his belongings and sold them to neighbor for enough money to keep him and his for forty days aId carry his family about a smart bit
 Then, having proved his own faith in his vision, he set out to tell his fellowmen about it. But they scoffed at him and made him eyed fear that God drowned upon him.
 Hence he took his family to England, arriving in London August }, which was on Satur. day. He appeared upon the streets with his family, his wife and eldest two children singing lie tried to tell the London popu' iatlon that they would soon have an object lesson of what happens to the wicked. The authorities arrested him and told him to leave the country. He returned here spending his last dollar.
 He IS typical mountain evan gelist. Although uucducated hs has the bible by rote. He has certain power of oratory ant much earnestness.
