received new and old, together with the complimentary votes Of her friends speak in the highest terms of her popularity, and show that she occu- pies warm spot in the hearts of For rest City folk. This alone. no doubt recompeuses her for whatever time Nhe may have given to the contest, besides she wins | due bill for SI75. which like the others. will be taken at it's face value as part payment for d piano of the same style and make as the ole won by Miss Davis.
 We also wish to congratulate Misses DeyereuX, Hill and Han upon their success in winning prizes. They are three of St. Francis county's best and noblest young women. whose friends are legion, and with whom they are very popular. It was not expected of these young ladies that they would send in immense lists, unless they should have given their entire time to the work, nor even as many as the girls living in town, for the reason that their opportunities for securing same were limited and not anything like as favorable as the town girls had. But they did nobly and we congratulate them, and wish them q long and happy life. We also desire to thank them for their cooperation in this contest. and hope 1t has been as pleas ant 10 them as it has been to us.
 We desire to extend to each and every one of these splendid young women our sincere and hearty appre- citation of their cooperation in mak- ing this the greatest newspaper enter prise of it's kind ever recorded in the history of Eastern Arkansas. We also return our sincere thanks for their uniform courtesy, good humor and pleasant participation, our relations with each one having been of q most genial and gratifying nature, without which the contest would have been an utter failure We hope and believe that each contestant has profted by the experience they have gained, and that, though many have received no prizes of Il tangible nature. they have discovered friendships, and been hfoadeHed by mingling with the peo- pie, which, after all, is the greatest prize We can obtain on earth If, by any possible chance, any one OF more of these girl friends have been slight eel, or in manner whatsoever aggrey- cd by any act of omission or commis- sion on our part We are not aware of 1t, and it has been unintentional on our part, We have been absolutely impartial to each and every contest ant throughout the contest, ..and it has been our whole aim and thought and care that all should be treated exactly alike, and that none should be shown any special favors and that all should have equal opportunities. We know that such has been the case, and we hope that nothing has been over looked.
 Again thanking each of these splen- did young ladies for their cooperation and with best wishes for their future, We say farewell to

Washington, Feb. 12.-President
Roosevelt sent to both houses of con-
gress long message calling atten-
ton to what he terms the urgent
need of Legislation affecting the diff

other fuel resources on lands still be-

that henceforth the nation should re-

tenn of small grazing fees, etc, and
asks for an appropriation of 100000
Immediately available, in addition to
present estimates, to aid in detecting
and preventing land frauds. He con-
tends for a system of government
leasing of it's mineral lands and for
treating these fuel lands as public
utilities.
The president AYERS that it would
have been better if some eastern coal
lands had been left under governmnt
control and suggests provision in the
west against recurrence of the con-
ditions we deplore in the east" Citing
$500 cases of public land entries in
four districts mentioned, the presi-
dent says noncompliance with the
law was found in over half of them
and deliberate fraud in very many
cases.
The president asks for legislation
which will provide two distinct titles
to public handsome for the surface
and the other for the underlying min
erals. These mineral lands. the presi-
dent would dispose of by lease. The
details of this plan he leaves for con
gress to work out. only arguing for

story it tells is absolutely simple A
mission worker seeks to upraise a
girl of the slums. She succeeds, but
in the heighth of her success the slum
sirl finds that her protector of the
mission is about to marry a man I'M
worthy of her. She wants TO open
the eyes of her patron, and the way
is presented when she agrees TO meet
the man at her home. He embraces
her and is caught in the act by his

of this meeting. But in thoroughly
unexpected and unusual manner. Moll

list of survivors still stands at 10.

from 126 to $50 passengers on the
steamer when she left Providence for
New York, and most of the sur
vivors who were able to express an
opinion were inclined to support his

McVey of the Larchmont, who esti-
mates the number of passengers at

ried a crew of As men, of whom only
10 are accounted for. This means a
total of $50 to 200 people aboard the
Larchmont, Of whom nine passengers
and 10 sailors survive. Their con-
dition is pitiable, but physicians are
in almost constant attendance and

the boat must sink and frenzied pas

to have fallen oh their knees, where
they joined in prayer, invoking the
Almighty to save and protect the
