THE CONTEST FOR THE NORMAL.

Conway, during the past ter days, has been engaged in one oi the most important contests in her history-a contest for the location of what will be one of Arkansas greatest institutions, "the Arkansas State Normal. At this writing, it seems that our magnificent effort cannot but be crowned with suc- cess. Having made, what seems to us, at least, the best proposition in the matter of cash bonus and location, our citizens are already jubilant over our prospects.
 Whether the board which visits us today will see our advantages as we see them we do not know. Confident as we are that Conway will be chosen as the location for the normal, there. is possibility, of course, that it will not be. But if this possibility should become a fact, however great may be OUT disappointment, the work we have done will not be lost. The cam paign for subscriptions for this school and the contest to secure 1t have ani6ed and bound together our citizenship as nothing has done since Hendrix College was securoa for this city. It is impos- sible that great benefits will not come to us as result of this unit ed and harmonious effort to locate the normal in Conway.

Our contemporary, the Times made a practical suggestion a week or two ago, when it urged the need of a good bridge across the Cadron where it is crossed by the railroad. There lies just across the creek there great body of fine timber and farm land which has been inaccessible to the markets of Conway, and a large trade would doubtless come here were this bridge constructed.

STANDARD OIL TO
MAKE HARD FIGHT

Chicago, March lit became evil
dent yesterday that the attorneys for
the Standard oil company Of Indiana
now on trial in the federal court on
indictments for alleged violation of
the Elkins act are determined to
make a strong fight against the in
dictmente proper The day in court
was marked by continued success
sion of extended arguments in which
the Standard Oil attorneys contended
that the government must prove GER
tain facts alleged in the indictments
or abandon It's ease
The principal point upon which
their attacks conferred was the allie,
CATION that the Elkins law was yiolat-
I'd BY shipments OF oil from Whiting,
Indiana to st. Louis, over the Alton.
1T was asserted by the defense that
The law could not have been violated
in this manner for the simple reason
that the Alton road does not extend
TO St Louis, but terminates on the
opposite side OF the river at East st.
Louis. Ill They asserted that the
tariff sheets published by the Alton
road did not contain joint through
rate TO St Louis saying that the rate
between East St Louis and St. Louis
was that Of the Virgins Ferry com
pany. They objected on this ground
to the Introduction as evidence, of the
Alton tariff sheets Judge Lands
ruled. howe ser. that the Ferry com.
pam tariff sheets might be admitted
as evidence. as they had been filed
with the Interstate commerce com
mission by the Alton railroad and
that the ferry company had never OBJ
jected to the fling of its sheets with
the commission by the railroad. nor
had 1t objected at any time 10 the
rates given.
