May Not Accept.

Little Rock, Oct. l4.-Special - There is a possibility that Judge Jesse Hart, chancellor of this district, will not accept the ap- pOintment to the Suprem e Court bench, rendered by Governor x. o. Pindall Friday afternoon, to succeed the late Judge J E. Rid dick. This statement comes as a distinct disappointment to the many friends of Judge Hart in this city and section, from the fact that it was considered to have been settled Saturday morn ming, that he would accept the position.
 Sunday Judge Hart, with a number of his personal and DO. litical friends, held conference regarding the matter with the result that he is yet undecided as to what action to take. Some of his best friends have advised him not to accept the appoint ment from the fact that it is only temporary, and that the Cover nor will of necessity, under the law, call a special election to fill. the position by the people and that considerable time and money will be necessary to make the canvass of the state. Chan cellor Hart has number of years yet on the chancery bench, with out an election.

State Fair We'll Supported.

Hot Springs, Oct. 13 With the close of the fair Saturday night not only fair next year is cer- tam but it's permanence seems to be assured. It has had strong support from the business men of Hot Springs and Little Rock, from the point of exhibits, and has had the support of every sec tion of the state in point of at tendance. There has been a lack of exhibits tending to show the vast mineral and timber resour. ces of the state, and there was no educational exhibit this year.
 It is up to the farmers, stock raisers, lumbermen, and miners of Arkansas to make the State Fair greater success next year but there has been no complaint that visitors this !year have not secured their moneys worth.
 During the week the poultry men in attendance at the fair got together and formed State Poultry Association. Ton. Otis |
 T. Wingo of DeQueen, was elect ed president and C.. C. Watkins of Siloam Springs was made sec retary. The meetings will occul during the state fair each year The object will be to better the breed of Arkansas poultry, anC to make poultry raising more profitable and interesting indus try.

D. Lucas of Magnolia, is being heard by Chancellor Jesse Hart today. Hon. James H.

Providing the deal is made Prescott will have another indus try to add to the growing list for it is the intention of the people Mr. Hosmer represents to put a mill at this point. However, the establishment of the mill will probably be delayed until next year on account of the lateness of the season. He expects to be employed until some time in Novemb Der in his present work.
 Mr. HOsmer is a most pleasant gentleman to meet and may be come a permanent resident ot our city. He is practical far mer owning a large place near his home at Lacrosse, Wis, and after an investigation thinks the agricultural prospects of this section are indeed promising.

WALLA WALLA. Oct. 1S.-Coach F
c. Kennedy, of the Spokane High
school football team which was beaten
at Walla Walla Friday by Whitman
college, says that Whitman will have
to be reckoned with in the Northwest
championship race this fall, says a
Spokane dispatch.
Not boosting them in order to min
imize the effect of the defeat Of my
team, but having seen the best college
teams of the Northwest in action last
fall, l have been convinced that Whit
mans team this year Is stronger than
anything in the Northwest a year ago
at least. The backs are heavy and
fast, and the line Is simply a stone
wall, and they had their star man

played good football, and 1 was not in
the least disappointed in them, for they
were against the hardest proposition
they will face all year. They were
outclassed both in weight and in
speed; that's all there was to It,"
Kennedy thinks in Brubaker, the bis
quarterback, Whitman has picked VI
star. He says that the big fellow
not only handles the ball with the ease
and grace of an Eckersall but that or

SALVIDERE is
GELDING KING

Salvidere's record breaking perform
ance at a mile and half, when he beat
Ballot for the Cup Preliminary at the
Brighton Beach track, brings him into
the limelight as one of the great gel
dings of the American turf. Up to last
Thursday he had won $S7,84S during
his two seasons on the turf and prom
ises ere long not only to win $1OOOOO
but to eclipse the record winnings of
every other horse of his sex.
Raceland, with $12O,12O to his credit,
Strathmeath, with $117662 and Pan
quet, with a winning record of $117,340
are the only geldings holding a place
among the 100000. American turf
winners, Parole won $S2,S15. and Proc
ter Knott $S2,252. Some other big win
ners were: Chaos, $69,245, Monitor,
$62,1OO; Barnum, $5O,360; Freeland,
$45,965; Chacornac, $4S,126, and Check
mate $4,000.
These are now far outstripped by
Salvidere, and as he is still young on
the turf he has a chance ultimately to
horses and dethrone Raceland in the
end of his position as king of money
winning geldings
The largest money winning geiding
in English racing history was EPSON
Lad, with $112,533 won; but few real
race horses are ever unsexed in Eng
| land. so a comparison in this respect
between two great countries is hardly
| fair, as EPSON Lad was more of an ac-
| cident and had no counterpart in the
old world.
Salvidere now looks as if he would
set aside the tradition of a good two
year-old gelding being far to his best
estate as an older horse. In some
measure his career has been little on
this line. Still. he showed good early
form. particularly in the Advance
stakes and the Cup Preliminary, and
this fall he has come earlier into bril-
liant winning form than Parole and
Raceland
Had Salvdere been entirely well
from his year-old form up to the
present time it is not likely that any
of the crack three-year-olds of the
season would have had anything on
him. He would also have long since
set at rest the foolish idea that a good
| two year old gelding must wait to be a
four or five-yearold to return to the
form which marked his running at the
kindergarten age.

.MACILL SPEAKS
IN OWN Defense

DECATUR, ILL.,, Oct. 18.-The early
part of Yesterdays session of the trial
of Fred and Fay Magill was occu-
pied by the reading of the seven let
tiers identified by Magilps daughter,
Marguerite, when she was on the
stand yesterday as having been written
by her deceased mother while the lat
ter was propped up in bed previous
to her death.
After the reading of the letters Ma
gill himself was placed on the stand.
Magill told of his first wife's de-
spondency and said he saw her propped
up in bed writing letters. He told of
the incidents testified to yesterday by
Marguerite when a veterinarian was
called to chloroform a horse, and said
that Mrs. Pet Magill stated upon that
occasion that she wished the chloro-
form was intended for her instead of
the horse.
He said that Postmaster Davidson
of Clinton had told him that Mrs. Ma
gill had told the postmaster that she
was taking chloroform, and that Dav-
idson had told the witness that he said
to her. "You had better get gun
and kill yourself instead of taking
chloroform" He said that on the night
Mrs Magill died she had requested
Marguerite to telephone Fay Graham
mot to forget the promise, whatever 1t
was, that Fay made to Mrs. Magill
Just before he retired that night the
witness said his wife requested him to
get her bottle of beer.
He gave her a bottle from the Ice
chest and then retired. In the morn
1 ing when he awoke he saw that hi'
wife was not in the room. He made
search of the house and found her II
the spare room, lying down with
blanket wrapped tightly around her
He spoke to her, but got no reply, and
upon examining her he found that sh'
was dead.
Magill said he detected the odor o
chloroform.

CANS TO OPEN
HIS HOTEL

BALTIMORE, Md, Oct. 18.--Joe
Cans new hosiery, the Goldfield hotel,
built by the championl lightweight pug
list at a cost of $4,000, will be open
ed tomorrow. 1t is thought that the
negro champion will take advantage of
the occasion to announce his final re-
tirement from the ring and the relin-
punishment of the title he has defended
so valiantly. In addition to the hotel,
which Cans believes will become a
highly profitable institution, the ia
nous Baltimore negro has a fortune
estimated at $4,000. OF late he has
become an enthusiastic automobilist,
and it is possible that he may decide
to enter the ranks of professional rae
ing car drivers.
Cans is now 33 years of age and has
been a professional fighter for 16 years
He retires the undisputed lightweight
champion with none in sight to dispute
his claim to the title.

TO DEMAND
PARCELS POST

MUSKOGEE, I. T., Oct. 18.-Com-
marcial bodies of Los Angeles, Ell Paso
and other far Western cities will take
advantage of the Trans Mississippi
Commercial congress, which meets
here next month, to urge the estab-
lishment of a parcels post system by
the national congress.
Those favoring the movement will
establish a press bureau here prior to
the opening of the congress, and will
endeavor to spread the parcels post
doctrine throughout the country. They
will be backed by the great mail order
houses of Chicago New York, st. Louis
and other cities.
Arrayed against the parcels post IDEA
will be the great express companies
and the small merchants, who believe
that a parcels post, by enabling con-
sumers to purchase goods in the cities
and have them sent by mail at slight
cost. would seriously injure their busi-
ness.
The question will be debated in de-
termined manner on the floor or the
convention, as it Is believed the ae-
on of the congress will have great IN
fuence with the national law makers.
Adherents of both sides of the dis
cussion will maintain headquarters IL
the handsome convention hall whicf
Muskogee has built at a cost OF Sto''
600 for the entertainment OF the Trans
Mississippi congress.

COMEDIAN A
CHOIR SINGER

Who would think that Teddy Webb, |
comedian of the Alaskan playing |
this week at the Salt Lake theater,
used to sing sacred songs solemnly In
fashionable Trinity church, New York?
Well, he did. And he was the highest
salaried church singer in the metro-
polls. That was before Teddy knew
how heartily he could make people
laugh. if he would only try Now he
is recognized as one of the funniest
men of the stage.
When he sings bah, Bah, Black
Sheep" in the second part of the "Alas-
kan he is irresstibly funny and roug-
ish. Last nigh he made such a ire
mendous hit with this song that he
had to respond to the applause with
five encores, every time giving a wit
tier verse than the one preceding. Ted
dy Webb is a Britisher-that is, he
was born a Britisher, but now he says
America Is good enough for him and
the West Is the finest part of AmeTfca,
too. He can't get rid of the cockney
accent that was born in him and he
would be foolish to do so, If he could.
He is immense as Strander, the Broad
way favorite.
Teddy came to America from Eng
land with the Gilbert & Sullivan pro-
duction of the "Mikado" many years
ago He was "warbling tenor" as he
expresses it, and had on thought of
trying to make people laugh. He got
an idea that fellow was "only camp
ing out when he left New York." so he
stayed there several months singing
tenor roles in the long city engage
ments and then began to sing Sunday
mornings at Trinity church He joined
the Lillian Russell company and was
her leading tenor in several light
operas.
Webb learned what good comedian
| he was and how valuable his cockney
accent was when he began singing in
| the Toreador, having the cockney song
part He made such a hit that he
decided to take only comedy parts aft
/ er that. He went to San Francisco
/ with the intention OF staying SIX
months. He stayed more than seven
years And during all that long period
he sany a new part from every two to
four weeks He was with the famous
Tivoli Opera company. The earth
quake demolished the Tivoli theater.
II didn't quit until 1 brought the
house down." said Webb last night in
his dressing room.
John Cort stepped in and booked him
for five years. He is to be featured
next year and starred the last three
years of the contract. Mr.. Cort is now
looking for a suitable piece for this
clever funny man.
THE Alaskan" played in Denver al
the Broadway theater before coming
here. 1t has always been the rule
there that the Broadway remains darl
Sundays. But the alaskan" played &
Sunday night engagement and 1t mad,
such tremendous hit that the theate
will be regularly opened Sunday night
hereafter. And now Teddy Webb say
the player folk who make Denver WI
have it in for the Alaskan" for spoil
ing their usual rest in Denver.
