Consider Question of Hospital.

The proposed erection of hospital in Little Rock by the Methodists of Arkansas will be the principal ques- tion to be considered by the Little Rock Conference, which meets at Nal vern November 27 and the White River Conference, which will meet December 12 at Corning. Indications are that the conferences will report favorably upon the proposition to erect a Methodist hospital in Little Rock with funds secured from Arkansas Methodists exclusively At the last State Conference a plan for a hospi- tai to be erected by seven Southern States was submitted. This was reject ed and a committee was appointed to take up the matter of building hos pital for Arkansas alone. If the Lit tie Rock and White River conferences report favorably to the plan the pro- ject will be pushed rapidly.

To Meet With Governors.

Acting Governor X. O. Pindall has received letter from President Theo- dore Roosevelt inviting him to meet with the governors of other states, and others at a conference at the White House, May 13, IA and 15, for the pur- pose of considering questions incident to the conserving of the natural re- sources of the country, and asking the governor to select three citizens of Arkansas to accompany him and at tend the conference as assistants or advisers. The object of the meeting is to discuss the natural resources of the country, inquire how long they are likely to last, and to suggest means of preventing their exhaustion. Governor Pindall is in hearty accord with the suggestions of the president and will aid him in carrying out his wishes.

Cotton Receipts Smaller.

Owing to the policy of most of the farmers in holding their cotton for flu. ture market, the receipts in Little Rock since the beginning of the sea son are only one-half of those during the same period last year. The re- ceipts this year since September l. were 46,631 bales, as against 91, ,453 last year.
 Acting Governor x. O. Pin dall, who has made several trips to the state convict farm, remaining there as long as a week at time, Investigating the manner in which the plantation is operated, and who has suggested @ number of changes in the method of work, now offers another change, the object of which is the es- tablishment of plant on the farm for the manufacture of cotton bagging. Governor Pindall has filed with the penitentiary board a resolution em- bodying his views regarding the estab- having his reasons therefor, on the reported fact that the cotton bagging industry of the country is controlled by trust. He suggests, in his reso- lutions, that the Superintendent of Agriculture Guy Tucker, Secretary of State o. c. Ludwig and one other member, to be named by the board, be appointed a committee to investi- gate the cost of raising and purchasing the raw material used in the manufac- ture of bagging and of the machinery for a suitable plant, and that the com 'mittee, after learning such details re- port to the board to the end that the board may be informed as to whether or not such an undertaking is feasible.

A Philadelphia congregation was called upon not long ago to choose a pastor.

There was one woman of experience whose voice car jed particular weight Preacher after reacher was invited to the pulpit for

 The ceremony was performed by Rev. Dr. Stryker of Hamilton college, who was for several years the pastor of the Fourth Presbyterian church at Rush and Superior streets, Chicago, and who was a college friend of Sec retary of State Root. friendship that is to be made the closer by the mar riage of the secretary's son to the college presidents daughter
 The tying of the bonds united two young people who are very much in love with each other There is not a whisper in any quarter that position or name had the least thing in the world to do with the engagement.
 The former Miss Root has always rather stunned the gayer life of the capital, and Lieutenant Grant has never been any too fond of it. He is studious, and so is his bride and both are of domestic inclinations It was a good old-fashioned American we'd ding. with Cupids heart engaged in every detail.

State Capital Notes
May Be Deficit.

Accordingto present indications, the appropriation of $70,000 made by the last legislature for the payment of as sessors over the state, will not be enough to meet the demand until the end of next year, to which time the appropriation was meant to pay the salaries of all assessors. Nothing de- finite can be told regarding the matter as yet, but it is believed by those who have investigated, that there will be a deficit. The possible amount of such deficit is only a matter of conjec- ture at present. It is thought, how ever, that it will not be large. As stated, the legislature appropriated the sum of $70,000 with which the asses sors were to be paid TOT two years. It now appears, after investigation, that $35 900 has already been paid out this year, with the assessors of two coun- ties, Searcy and White, still to be paid. As shown by these figures, just one-half of the appropriation has been paid out, and when rne two counties are settled with, more than one-half of the amount appropriated Will have been paid out for the first year leav- ing the small end of the appropriation to tide over next year. However, the amount needed next year may be smaller than the one this year, owing to the fact that the assessors next year will not be paid for assessing real estate owned by non-residents or un- known parties This year the asses sors are paid $1 per township for as sessing such real estate, but the sec ond year they are given nothing for that work. For that reason the amount needed to pay assessors next year may be smaller, and the differ ence enough to make Up for the extra funds needed this year.

 The wedding was generally recog- nized at the capital as being the sec ond in social and official importance that has taken place during the Roose- welt administration, there being only less interest in the marriage than in that which centered about the mar riage of Miss Roosevelt to MT.

 The bride is the only daughter of Secretary of State and Mrs. Elihu Root, while the groom, as everyone knows from his name, is the grandson of General Grant, his father being General Frederick Dent Grant of the

Complain of Service.

Several complaints have been regis. tered with the Arkansas Railroad Commission recently relating to the poor services furnished by the rail roads operating in Arkansas. In some of these instances the assertion is made that the railroads do not as sign enough coaches to a train to ade- quately care for their passenger traffic
 Then the frequent failure of the roads to operate trains on time is a long
 standing grievance. The service be- tween Little Rock and Memphis has been so bad that the commission took the matter up with the railroad officials last week After an informal discussion with Superintendent Easely of the Arkansas division of the Choc- Jaw the desired reform was made and another coach added to the train The commission will take up the other complaints in order and will dispose of them. The travelling public is looking forward with much interest to the meeting of the commission oE December 4, when the question of re- quiring trains to run on schedule time will come up. If the commits sion so orders, it is thought that the railroads will from necessity lengthen their schedules In many cases it is an impossibility to make the time an nounced in the schedules. No rail- road will willingly publicly admit that it's trains can not make as good times as the trains of competing lines, and most of the short schedules have grown from this fact.

PindaII Returns From Farm.

Acting Governor X. O. Pindall re turned Thursday from his visit to the state convict farm in Lincoln county. He reported everything in good shape and that the ginning of the crop had been resumed. A few days ago the press in the ginnery broke down and it was necessary to send it to Pine Bluff for an expert to make the neces- sary repairs. These repairs were made and the ginning of cotton was resumed on Monday. There are from 600 to 700 bales of cotton picked and about 125 that have been ginned.
