Island No. 76 Belongs to Desha.

Finally settling the dispute over Is.
land 76 in the Mississippi River, which
has been in litigation since early in
1899, Judge Jacob Trieber of the Unit
ted States Circuit Court of this dis
trict has entered a decree holding the
island to be portion of Desha county,
Arkansas, and forever enjoining the
Mississippi claimants from interfering
with the peaceful possession of the
Arkansas occupants. This island con-
tains in the neighborhood OF 700 acres
of extremely fertile land, which was at
one time part of Mississippi. The
river cutting through made it an is
land, and the main channel of the
river being on the Mississippi side, it
was temporarily abandoned by the
former holders. After a number of
years people from the Arkansas side
took possession of the island, which
threw the matter into the courts.

The Confederate Home Board met
Thursday in regular monthly business
Besides transacting business of routine
nature, the board approved the action
OF the Executive Committee in dis
missing from the Confederate Home
James N. Ferguson. The board also
sustained w. M. Watkins. superinten.
dent of the home, in his dealings with
Ferguson The latter was alleged to

aroused Watkins to such an extent that
the latter struck him, with the result
that the superintendent was fined in

ter having taken the case into court

For School Improvement.

That Arkansas is to keep abreast OF
the educational movement is indicated
in the newest feature in the develop
ment of the general program for edu'
cational betterment being worked out
under the direction of the department
of education. This feature is the es-
adjustment of school Improvement as
sociations AS is we'll known, the
school Improvement association and It's
auXiliaries in this city, as well as IN
other cities, have proven one of the
most efficient stimulators in school
progress. Perhaps no single element
of organized effort has been more
beneficial. Realizing this fact, the de
partment has undertaken the spread
Of the school improvement association
endeavor, and the results are begin
ming to be seen. Already several OK
the towns throughout the State have
organized associations, and others are
to be organized at an early date.

To Remove Penite ntiary.

That the State penitcntiary should
be removed to the State farm was the
attitude taken by Governor Pindall
at the recent meeting of the board,
and is the unqualified opinion of the
State executive as to the proper loca-
ton OF the State penal institution. In
discussing the matter Governor Pin
dali expresses the belief that with the
establishing of the various enterprises
now on foot, the location of an expert
ment station and the development of
an experiment farm, the erecting and
maintaining of bagging plant, and
the introduction of kindred enterprises,
the question of What shall be done
with the convict? will solve itself.
There will then be use for all the con
victs at the farm, and of course the
penitentiary should then be located at
that point, for convenience in handling
the prisoners. In fact, there would,
if all conivcts could be given employ
ment at the farm, be no occasion for
having the penal institution at the
State Capital.

To Secure Temple.

Already a movement is on foot
among local Odd Fellows to secure
the proposed Odd Fellows Temple for
the grand lodge meetings, the build
ing which was recommended at the
last meeting of the Grand Lodge, for
Little Rock. Hot Springs, too, is out
for the prize, and there promises to
be a merry contest at the gathering Of
the Grand Lodge, which will take
place next October, at which time the
question will undoubtedly be settled. A
fund has been started toward the
erection of the temple. which will cost
from 5000 to 100000. The only 9TH
er city in the State beside Little Rock
and Hot Springs that is considered
eligible as a location for the institu-
ton, is Pine Bluff, but as yet no move
ment has been launched there to Sc
cure the building.

thing terrible, and the doctors said it
was the worst case they ever saw. At
times his whole body and face were
covered, all but his feet l used many
kinds of patent medicines, to no avail.
A friend teased me to try Cuticura.
At last l decided to try Cuticura when

time and suffering untold misery. l
began to use all three of the Cuticura
Remedies. He was better in two
