New York Journal of Commerce Says Attorney General is to
 Quit Cabinet
PRESIDENT NOT SATISFIED WITH RECORD
The Article States That Presidert's Most Trusted Advisors Condemn the Attorney Generals Policy in Recent Trust Suits--No immediate Change in Cabinet Likely.

New York, Aug. 2l.--The Journal of Commerce Tuesday publishes q story regarding the possible retire ment of Attorney General Bonaparts from the cabinet. It says:
 According to important interests in this city very close to the admin. istration the usefulness of Attorney General Bonaparte as member of the presidents cabinet has culmin- ated. It is not expected that imnedi ate retirement will result, for such action might be construed as a sign of weakening in the presidents anti trust policy--a construction particu larly distasteful to Mir. Roosevelt, since not the slightest Justification exists for 1t. But there is no ques. tion, according to the excellent in. formation ootained Monday evening that the president is not only not in sympathy with the recent fippant and undignified attitude and the at least doubtful legal procedure displayed by the attorney general. but is fin all re spects opposed to them"
 The attorney generals policy, the Journal of Commerce says. it is un- derstood. Is condemned by all the presidents most trusted advisors; i; and, 1t adds. there is excellent reason to lelieve some important changes in the cabinet would constitute protest against executive endorsement Of Mir. Bonaparte's programme. Secre. tary Root. for instance. the paper de- clares, is known to have expr essed strong criticism of it, while Assistant Secretary of State Robert Bacon is also entirely out of sympathy with the attorney generals policy
 It Is not expected, 1t Is stated. that any official consideration will be giv- en the current strained situation un- til the president returns to Washing ton from Oyster Bay.

being in yellow. This turnout, with its high vehicle and hand some horses attracted much notice and many would have awarded it first instead of second place in the contest.
 Lula Clark and Mrs. Mark Olney rode in a fine turnout deco- rated in white with red poppies.
 Ed Cox, accompanied by Miss Loche, of De Queen, had a pretty rig decorated in red, white and blue.
 The Young Ladies Whist Club had float that was a beauty. 1t was decorated iu purple and white and was occupied by twelve members of the club, each wear ing a large purple hat and a white costume. The club initials were shown in purple letters on either side of the wagon. Those who are favored with an ac- quaintance with this collection of young women need not be told about the beauty that graced this float. Miss Susie Lawson handled the reins over the big horses.
 The K. C. $. baud of Pittsburg came next, and might have made a much better showing had its twenty members chosen to wear their uniforms instead of march ing without coats, which was taken by many citizens as a dis tiuct discourtesy, especially in view of facts that will be spoken of elsewhere.
 The Meua Fishing club had a float that caused considerable amusement, showing a boat being rowed industriously and a busy fisherman making casts to rig ht and left in a serious effort to land the wiley fish.
 The Rich Mountain camp of Woodmau came next and had a large number in line, in most part in full costume.
 The Improved Order of Red Men brought up the rear, all mounted and in full Indian regalia, suits, feathers and paint.

was touching, as was that to the women of the land.
 Mir. Steel closed with an appea 1 to young men and women to let their lives shine with the same beauty and glory as the stars in the heavens.
 The Hon. Clifton R. Breckin- ridge made an address at 5 o'clock Tuesday, being introduced by Hal. L. Norwood. His talk was direct, very much to the point, brief and effective, and was one that should be heard and needed in every city and hamlet in the broad land. He spoke of the precious heritage of our free government, of the greatest work of uninspired man, the Constitu- tion upon which our government is based. and made a most earnes, plea for tue protection of the ballot from pollution at the hands of the unfit, either black or white. He pointed sharply to the fact that no man had a power over another or over the affairs of the nation that was not given him by the people who put him in place, and that no abuse could exist without the consent of the real rulers of the nation, the voters, aud admouished them to diligently and honestly do their ull duty by the ir country.
 The speaker held the closest of attention from first to last and many gathered about to shake his hand and thank him fer his good talk, and to express the hope that they might hear him further at au early date.

The Visiting Speakers.

Mena was favored by splendid spec hes by the Hon. Clifton K. Ere uridge of Fort Smith and Mr. Will Steel, a rising young att ,ey and orator of Texarkana.
 ,e Hon. Joe T. Robinson of L. loke was to have been here, but while on the way was taken seriously ill at Fort Smith and had to be taken back to his home, wiring his regrets at the las, moment.
 Mir. Steel spoke at the stand in the park Monday evening. After being introduced in a graceful talk by Hal L. Norwood, he re- piled in a pleasant vein. compli- menting Mena on it's many ad. vantages and beauties, and then made fine address ou 1.-The Mes sage of the Stars" He spoke in flowery language of the stars above aud then lead to the stars of earth in realms of poetry, phi losophy and statesmanship, in which he showed much thought. He referred feelingly to Roosevelt as the Prince of Peace aud com. plimented the president heartily on his honesty of purpose and the good work he has done and IS doing. Then he spoke Of Will lia n Jennings Bryan as the stain. less leader of his party's stainless standard, and received hearty applause when be expressed the belief that he would yet carry the Democratic banner to victory

The Equestrian Contest.

At 10 o'clock this morning the ladies equestrian contest was held and it proved to be one of the most interesting features of the entire fair, although in the excitement and crowd it was marred by an accident which but for the heroic act of one of the young ladies might have been very serious.
 The sidewalks along Mena street leading to the judges stand were so crowded with people that it was em- possible for the officers to keep them out of the street, which resulted in confusion to the horses and their riders. Near the close of the exhi- bition, when Miss Gertrude DeLongy and Miss Anna Slangstrom dashed by the judges stand with their mounts on a swift gallop and turned sharply into Port Arthur avenue, Miss DeLongy's horse shyed and unseated her. She fell against Miss Slangstrom's horse and this re- markedly clever lady rider caught and held Miss DeLongy for some distance and then let her gently down to the ground where Mir. McAtee caught her up and carried her out of the way of the other galloping horses.
 Miss DeLongy was not seriously injured and in a few moments, amid the joyous shouts of the throng which had stood breathless in fear of an awful tragedy, again mounted her big horse and took her place with the other riders while the peo- ole went wild in their applause for her calm bravery and the display of heroism on the part of Miss Slang strom.
 At the close of the contest the judges awarded Miss Slangstrom the first prize of $10 in the side saddle riding. Of the ladies riding astride Miss DeLongy was awarded first prize of $10. Miss Lawson won second prize and in appreciation of her graceful riding the judges added $5 to her prize, making it equal to the first prize. The third prize was divided between Miss Lingle and Mrs. Payne.
 In appreciation of her heroism and the masterful manner in which she handled her horse in rescuing Miss DeLongy, Miss Slangstrom was pre- sented with $l0 gold piece this afternoon which was made up by members of the Red Men. Miss Slangstrom is the daughter of J. G. Slangstrom, owner of the Scanda- navian ranch, seven miles southeast of Mena.

The Two Bands.

The people of Mena rejoiced early Monday in the thought that the city had within it's borders two excellent bands that would do much to add to the pleasures of the three days of the fair.
 Insofar as the organization from DeQueen is concerned the pleasure has grown day by day, and when the gentleman of that band go on their way they will carry with them the good wishes and esteem of the whole city, not only as musicians, but as men whose every act has stamped them as gentlemen in the best sense of the word.
 The Pittsburg band came highly recommended and representing as it did the Kansas City Southern shops of Pittsburg, Kas., every rail road man in Mena had a personal pride in7the organization and rejoic- ed at its coming. The shabby treat ment given. Mena in response to especial courtesy is matter of hu. initiation to every employee of the Kansas City Southern in the city, and they one and all regret that the letters TX. c. S." should adorn the uniforms of men who showed SC little respect for themselves or the city that had treated them SC literally.

 The fine arts exhibit was a thing of beauty and was made up of products of the brush, crayon, pen, camera, typography, needle work and allied arts. Among the notable exhibits was that of Elsie Shaver, 12 years of age, who had ou exhibition six speci- of her work. Mrs F. IA. Brennon had on exhibition several speci- mems of her own work and many of her students were represented.
 Lee lilies and Emma Wadlow showed pen and ink sketches of The Mena Evening Star that were so true one might undertake to pick them up from table as the real articles. Long tables were covered with fancy work of all kinds, and leaning against the tables were bolts of rag carpets that proved that the weaving of the good old rag carpets was not among the lost arts.
 The culinary department was we'll represented by a large show ing of canned and preserved fruits and vegetables, aud dozens of loaves of bread and cake, and the judges had much work to enable them to award the various pre- miums offered.

Adams and his daughter, Stella.in a buzz gy elaborately decorated, largely with natural flowers and green cry.

Meua's Eleventh Annual Fair and Celebration has passed into historv-bas become another mile-pos that has been lett in the rear in the short life of the best, most progressive and up-to date little city of the country.
 The exhibits were of such quantity and high class that there is no need for apology-they were, as usual, a liberal educa- ton to all who saw them as to the productiy eness of the soil of Polk county, Arkansas, and a credit to the industrious and pro- gressive people who produced them.
 The entertainment furnished to it's visitors by the people of Mena was not of an elaborate nature, but was on the whole excellent. Those who enjoyed band music were furnished an ample supply, the parade was a thing of beauty, the fireworks display the best ever seen in Polk county, the speakers, Clifton K. Breckinridge of Fort Smith and Will Steel of Tcxsrkana, were of high class and their speeches were thoroughly enjoyed by the hundreds who heard them. The other minor amusemeuts helped to "keep something going on" and filled in the intervals.
 The exhibition in the big Auditorium was at all times the center of attraction, and there was no time from early morning until late at night when there were not many interested people viewing the various features of interest shown therein, and the large area through the center of the building made any serious discomfort or crowding unneces- sary, and the long benches placed in the center of the building made comfortable resting place for all who cared to use them.
 Aud during the three days, while there was the usual frolic- some behavior among the young folks, there was at no time any disturbance of any consequence, llttle drunkenness and little work for the officers.
 IL is now the determination of all the directors of the fair asso-
 
 ciation 10 begin at once prepara- tious for the celebration next year, and it is now expected to secure permanent grounds and erect proper buildings thereon. It IS also planned to issue a pre-. mum list in February, thus giv- ing all exhibitors ample time to prepare tEeir exhibits.
 The quality and size of the a'sploy ot products this year has lent new interest aud life to the movement which will resul. in a greater effort on all sides during 'ne coming twelve months.
 The full list of the premium awards will be printed in the Star next week.

Return Address Must Be On Front
OF Envelope.

In reply to complaints of senders
of letters who put their address on
the back of envelopes that their
letters go to the dead letter office
instead of being returned to them,
Assistant Postmaster General De-
Graw has made a ruling that the
proper place for the addresses OF
the sender is in the upper left hand
corner of the envelope, not on the
back. He holds that senders of
mali matter should do everything
possible to facilitate the work OF
the postal clerks and postmasters,
rather than to impede it as would
be the case if they were obliged to
turn over every letter to look for
the address of the sender. Fash
ionable folks who affect the back
of the envelope style of self-address,
should take notice.

The dwelling of William Beattie,
in East Nottingham township, Pa,
was totally destroyed by fire early
Sunday morning, together with its
entire contents. The family was
awakened by the barking of the
dog and barely had time to escape.
The supposition is that the fire
was caused by some party who
stole number of hams and other
meats stored in the cellar, as no
trace could be found of the meat,
while other articles in the cellar
were only charred.
