Ex-Senator Butt begins hi
 Service.

Senator F. O. Butt sur rendered himself to the peniten- tiary officials in Little Rock Tues- day morning and commenced his service of two years undea con- viction of the Perry county cir cult court under a charge of giving a bribe of S100 10 Senator R. R. Adams of Grant county during the last session of the legislature to influence his vote on the state capital bill. It was not necessary under the decision of the supreme court for him to commence his service until Wednesday Morning but he call ed upon the clerk of the supreme conrt Tuesday morning and ask ed for his commitment. Being informed by the clerk that the commitment could not be issued until Wednesday but that he wo Id be given credit for any time serv.d before that date, he went immediately to the superin- tendent of the penitentiary and announced himself ready to be- gin his service. He was then admitted and at once assigned to duty. Mir. Butt was accom- pani d to Little Rock by pr. G. V. Poynor of this city, Judge J. $. Naples of Berryville and Troy Pace of Eureka Springs, who bore a petition containing be- tween five thousand and ten thousand names asking Governor Devis for his pardon. These gentlemen had a long conference with the governor at the end of which he refused to interfere with the finding of the courts. Before Mir. Butt surrendered himself he called Governor Davis by phone and thanked him for considering the case and that he was ready to serve his sentence.
 It was hoped by the many friends of MT. Butt that he might be given some clerical position but it is announced by the pen itentiary officials that he will be put at hard labor just as other convicts, but that during the first month the fact that he has been unused to physical labor will be taken into consideration and his work will be light. His first half day in prison was spent wheelbarrowing coal.
 The love and loyalty of the people of Eureka Springs for Mir. Butt was amply demonstrated by a reception that was rendered him in that city the night before his departure. The reception was largely attended by the ladies of the city and everything was done that would tend 10 lift the heavy burden from Mr. Butt for at least a few short hours. It is stated by those who have been closely associated with him that the only time he has been known to give vent to any emotion was when the many words of confi- dece and sympathy were being spoken to him during this re- ception.

Miss Irene Redding Wins the
 Prize.

! DoN SOiiuSoV1iio ioi ollO premium offered by the bank of Green Forest on the subject "Why should a boy start a Bank account? The following is Miss Irene's essay:
 There are many reasons why a boy should start a bank account. Not only from financial, but from social standpoint, as well
 The boy who does not have to earn his own money seldom learns the value of it, or appreciates it, till liter he has squandered what has been given him, or left him, by those who started a bank &C., count in days gone by.
 The world honors the boy who earns his own money and knows how to save it; and there is no better way to save it than to start a bank account.
 When he gets an account started, be it ever so small, he is eager to add to it, and watch it grow with pride.
 He then begins to learn the value of money, and realizes, perhaps for the first time, that the money for his education and clothing, up to that time, were the liars earned, one by one, by some one who had labored and saved.
 Our best men, financially and socialey, look with pride, and re- spect, upon the boy with bank account.
 Industry, and economy, should be installed in every boys prin- clples as early as possible; and he vii thank his teachers and pare ts for it. later on. When he E,s seen his little account grow, and accumulate. until he is abe 10 lanch out into the busi- ness world, on an independed scale of his own, and feel fortified against the ''rainy days," that is almost sure to come, some- where in the dim, and mysterious future, then he will thank those who advised him to start a bank account.
 Perhaps the most difficult part of it all, will be in making the the first deposit; he is only earn ing few dollars each week, and he feels like he needs every cent of that to blow and have a "time." as the boys say.
 In order for him to save his meager earnings, it is necessary for him to stay in nights, and after work hours, to avoid the temptations to spend his money.
 The first evening he stays in he picks up a book, or magazine, to pass away the weary hours, and help him to forget the good time the boys are having, and his eyes fall upon an article some thing about :'How to Economize" or "A Penny Saved is Penny Earned," and he reads it and feels encouraged, and is almost glad he stayed at home. The next evening it is not so hard for him to stay in, and he is just a little anxious to persue another magazine.
 So, gradually he gains an in- terest in reading, and pride in saving, and by and by, his good habits are formed.
 His changed conduct will perhaps, cause his chums to call him Grandpa" or Mama's boy," but their taunts will soon change to respect, if he will only wear the nickname with the some grace that he wears his patched coat, and independently smiles when he deposits his weeks earn. ings in the bank.
 Some of those same boys may come to him, in after years, and beg him to take a mortgage on their forty acre homestead, for the loan of a few hundred dol lars.
 Three cheers for the boy who staltsa bank account.

Bull DING COMMITTEE Sci ECTED
Library Board. Common Council and
Commercials Club Represented

The Library Board met Monday
evening and delegated their legal
powers in the supervision OF the erec-
tion OF the new $4,000 Carnegie
| Library to a committee to be com
posed of one representative from the
mon Council and the Commercial
Club. Rev ThOs Barker has been
selected by the Library Board as its
! representative, Mayor S. j. Cardinal
and Thos. Baker for the Common
Council, and Secretary w. f. Thomp-
son and w. T. Rooney for the Com
mercial Club.
A letter has been received by Mr..
Rooney from the Home Trust Co.,
Mr.. Carnegie's bankers at HobOken,
n. j., stating that the money for the
building is available at any time in
amounts of $4,000 or $4,000 as needed,
so that everything is in readiness for
work to begin as soon as the build
ing committee decides upon the site
and the design for the building. For
the design several plans are offered
as suggestions by Mr.. Carnegie, and
numerous architects are already
Offering to submit specifications as
soon as the committee decides upon
what is wanted.
The Library Board has proposed
to design part of the building so as
to make suitable quarters for the
new County Teachers Training
School
One of the most suitable sites sug-
gested is the corner west of the water
works, which would probably be
secured as reasonably as any other
desirable location. This would af-
ford ample room for parking about
the building, which could not be af-
forded by the proposed site offered
by the town of Flambeau between
the Congregational church and the
waterW orks.
