CAN CONNECTS BE
 SENT TO CHICOT?
Question as to the Authority of Judge Gould to Lease County COnyicts to a NOn-RcSident of the County Ar- 9ued in Circuit Court.

Judge A. E. Grace in the Jefferson circuit court, yesterday heard the suit of John NJ. Oracle against Jefferson county, in which the plaintiff seeks to have q contract let by Judge Gould some weeks ago annuled. The case has been taken under advisement by Judge Grace.
 The suit grew out of the leasing of the Jefferson county convicts to J. B. Auburn of Chicot county by Judge Gould. Amburn's bid was to care for. feed and clothe all prisoners and 10 pay the county 32 1-2 per cent of the fine. Oracle made the same bid eX- ceptinS that he agreed to pay the county only 15 per cent of the fine
 imposed on each prisoner. After the contract was awarded to Auburn by Judge Gould, who contends that he has the right to send the prisoners outside of the county if it is for the best interests of the county, Mr. Oracle contested his right. The suit now rests on the authority of Judge Gould to let the contract to planter who requires the prisoners to leave the county. X supreme court decision was presented in court yesterday, sus taning Mr. Oracle in his claims, but Judge Gould and the attorneys for the county contend that an amendment ion. makes the ruling of little import. Young and RoWell and Prosecuting Attorney Jones represent the county and s. M Taylor is looking after the interests of Mr. Oracle

 LoIlal fans were given plenty for their money at Forest Park yesterday afternoon when the Helena ball toss CTS. fresh with laurels of many re- cent victories, played the Pine Bluff aggregation to a standstill, but lost in the twelfth inning. The score was 2 of the season and some magnificent fielding was presented by both clubs.
 Nickens and Webber opposed each other, Deaver finally getting into the game, and it was doubtless a lucky move for the visitors were unable to connect with the Iron Mans" curves at opportune times. The contest made the hair stand up on the heads of the fanatics in the grandstand and bleach CTS but all ended we'll when the locals sent the winning run across the plate

President T. J. Gregg of the local ball association has written to Mana ger Shelton urging the elimination of all chewing the rag" during games in which Newport plays. The boys on the team should realize as quickly as the general public that kicking doesn't pay. If a decision meets with captains disapproyaI, let him quietly state his case to the official of the game and if overruled give notice of contest, but let the matter drop for the time being and give the public what they come to see and pay for, a clean exhibition of ball playing with no Wrangling.-Newport lndepend- ent.

Orchard Methods.

The method Of orchard culture now
commonly accepted by horticultural
investigators in eastern United States,
and recomm ended as sound, is TO clean
cultivate early IN spring up 10 the
middle Of summer, then seed the or
chard down TO cover crop. This
cover crop In It's fall growth tends to
evaporate the moisture from the SOIL
checking the growth Of the trees and
Fastening the r!peniDg OF the wood, SO
that the trees enter the winter in
we'll matured and frost resistant con
dition. This method has been various
~ modified In different sections Of the
country 10 ct in with local conditions
but the idea OF thorough cultivation ID
the orchard, for az least part Of the
season, has been regarded as essential
to the highest success.

CATTLE ON GRASS.
A Few Reasons For Including Grain In
Summer Feed.


The value Of grain fed to cattle On
grass hns been questioned when the
grass is abundant, DOurlshlng and not
oversucculent The addition Of grain
will add but little, If anything, to the
Increase at such time, Aut II will OF
course add to the Increase before
Crass rem ches such Il stage Of growth
and again when II has become ove'-
checked in growth by GUNNER heat
Why, then, II may be said, should
grain be fed at such timef
An Open Question.
Whether il should be fed or not may
be an open question, but In weighing
II the following considerations are ol3-
perfume: First. the grain fed must ef-
iect a saving In grass. The amount OF
the snvlng may not equnl the value OF
the grain. IT is certain that II Will
not for grass is relatively cheaper thuD
grim Second, the ment from grain
fed animals Is more in favor with the
butchers than that finished only on
grass II Is usually better finished the
flesh is frrner and the animals dress
better In the carcass; hence they Cold
Inand better price. Third, the grain
fed tends somewhat more 10 the ell
richnent OF the land. The extent Of
this however, Is measured by the chur-
acter Of the grain. II may be advan-
tageous therefore IN some instances 10
feed grain even when the grass is III
tts best.
Much Cheaper Than Gram.
Since grass is much cheaper rela
lively than grain II becomes matter
Of much Importance 10 keep down the
amounts O. grain fed 10 minimum
quantities. They should unquestiona-
bly, bs fed In less quantity ordinarily
than In winter feeding but the amount
10 be fed will vary with conditions
II will vary with such conditions as
the time for turning of, the condition
OF the grass and the nature Of the

SOLVES GREAT PROBLEM.

Difficulties that confront the pros-
Dector who ventures into unknown re-
gionss buoyed by the hope Of discoy-
ering mineral lodges or water wells,
have been reduced to a great extent
and possibly eliminated. according TO
the statements of ID. M. Watson, OF
this city, who has invented an in
strument which. he declares, will
point out infallibly the exact situa-
ton of an ore body or an under
ground water supply.
So thoroughly convinced is Mr..
Watson OF the success that will at
tend experiments with the machine
that he proposes to leave Portland in
few DAYS for Joplin. Mo-, there TO
determine its practical value by ap-
plication in the lead and zinc mines
Mr. Watson has the utmost conf
dence In the success of his undertake
ing, which Is not surprising when Il
Is considered that he has devoted 20
years to investigation and expert
ment With It's mechanical and mag.
netic assistance he has located with
the instrument wells in Iowa. Cali
rornia Oregon and Washington. At
Joplin, Mo, he tested successfully a
large body of lead deposits.
This new instrument" said Mr..
Watson, us intended tor the location
OF running water In localities where
there appears To be none. free milling
Lodges of zinc and lead ores and also
oil sand.
'The theory is very simple. BY the
use OF the metals in the machine and
the batteries, there must be an i'm
mediate and perceptible effect on the
ledge formation. II II be Of the char
acter we hope to discover. This is
obtained In a large 'sasure by the
use OF running water on the surface.
The battery for water differs some
what from that used fuI the location
Of minerals, In the latter case Il is
the theory that the creltion of mag
netic power Is caused by the mineral
action of the ledge matter The ledg-
es contain any number of different
minerals and the moisture of the
earth sets them in action. thereby
creating a condition which makes the
power Of the magnet possible.
f'By the successful operation of
this new machine IL is possible TO tell
the difference between. a vertical and
a so-ealled blanket ledge in a min
sral field" r.,+.s r.u,l,
The machine has the appearance of
an inverted letter u. the batteries
connecting with central wire. one
of which Is intended for the location
OF water and the other for minerals.
II may be used successfully ON train
or in buggy, the inventor says. IL
contains five different metals and
weighs about two pounds. The pres.
ence Of water or minerals Is deter
mined by pressure of the metal on
the hands, If there be no action on
the part of the metal. It is safely con-
Cluded that the teld is barren
