o the water when the full force of the present rsie reaches Pine Bluff, it was decided at mas4 meeting of the citizens held here today to divert, if possible, the channel of the river by the cut ting through of a narrow strip of land where the river starts a horseshoe" bend, several miles noI tn of the city. This plan, if successful, while leaving Pine Bluff aW ay from the main chan enl would eliminate it is believed the danger of an overflow which would cause the destruction of large amount of property
 It is freely predicted that un- less the river IS combated suc- cessfully that the most attrac- tive and valuable section of Pine Bluffs business section will be gradually washed awayp
 The Hotel Jefferson, the Jeffer- son county court house, Berlin Bros. big sales and livery stables and two blocks of business houses one on each side of the court house will doubtless be in immed fate danger when the Arkansas river starts to eat it's way into the very heart of the business section.
 For the past several weeks fol- lowing the complete destruction of diEes which protected the river front here, the river bank from Chesnut to Tennessee street has been caving at aD alarming rate, and on last Saturday, when
 it was thought that the caving had ceased, and while prepara- tions were being made by the government fleet to begin the work of repairing the revetments and rebuilding dikes aong the river here, a heavy rain fell and within ;a few hours the river bank began sliding into the ap- parently calm stream 'in big chunks Now comes the startling encouragement that the Arkansas river is again-on a rampage, and that heavy rains in the upper Arkansas. valley will send vol tunes of water into the lower Arkansas valley within the next few days

THE CARNIVAL IS
 IN FULL BLAST
Opened Last Night With Many Atrac-
 tiOns- s-WiII Continue All the Week.

The J. George Loos Carnival opened in Prescott last night and quite a large crowd attended for the first night Although all the attractions were not ready for the public ma jority were op- ened and plenty of fun aoffered.
 There was present the carni- val spirit, and the confetti man the feather duster and cane and rubber ball saleslady did a good business,
 The free attractions were giv- en as advertised, and Dare Devil Develo." in his thrilling ride iin the cage Of death at 10 pm. was intensely Interesting Amid a beautiful display of fireworks the daring cyclist ascended the iron scate in a horizontal position, and seemingly overcome the law of gravitation in-hls darlEE feat.
 Darnadello, the aerla, marvel is another Interesting free at traction which is given daily at and 9 pm.
 The principal shows given last night were Dixie Land,' min- strel organization Of colored art lsts in singing, dancing and com edy. This show is clean and as intended clearly depicts the col 1 bred race in their favorite am usements One of the most inter esting as well as marvellous at fractions is Ben Hur" the horse W ith the human brain. The ani- nal is owned by MT. Sparks, who .s well knowh throughout this section of the State, as stock dealer with a substantial repu- tation. He has .ov.ned Ben Hur for IT years. 16 years of which he has used in constant training of the mental faculties of the animal Ben performs actual fcats in spelling, addition and subtraction, and acts entirely by suggestion. The only thing that Mr. Sparks has so far failed to overcome is the sense of respOns- ibility. He cannot make the horse realize the importance of self reliance He might tell him that tree was about to fall on him but he would pay no attention until after the tree had actually struck him
 Ruth, the smallest horse in the world, is another attraction com ing in for a share of attention, and is the wonder of all who see her.
 Tonight. F Fairies in the Well, ,' an optical Illusion, She" the flying lady. feats in the back art and moving pictures, and No Name. the Malay Wonder" will be ready for the patronage or the public
 The carnival will be open every afternoon and night for the rest of the week.

in HONOR OF
CLEVELAND
Alton R. Parker VIII Probably
Present Cleveland ReSOIu-
tiOnS 10 Convention
Associated Press.

AbhOCldlSu Iicbh'
Denver, July 3.--Alton B. Parker
may be asked by Chairman Taggart
OF the National committee to present
to the convention the resolutions on
the death OF Cleveland, In such an
event the resolutions presented will
be handed to Parker after first hay-
ing been approved by Bryan. This
plan seems uppermost in the minds
of Bryan leaders here today APP
parently there is no abatement In
the feeling engendered by the pub
lication OF the Parker resolutions.
Aside from their Objectionable char
soter the friends Of Bryan, feel
the resentment expressed by mem
bers OF the committee on arrange
ments OF the national committee.
Should a plan to compromise be
blocked, II is understood to be the In
tention OF the Bryan forces who con-
troll the convention to keep secret the
name OF the person who will be called
upon TO present the resolutions in
the Bryan form. Then 1t will be
the duty OF temporary Chairman Bell
to recognize this person Immediately
upon the conclusion of his opening
address. Resolutions will be as pre-.
sented and If possible voted upon
without any opportunity being given
for the submission OF any substi-
tute.
Some immediate followers Of
Judge Gray have wired him request
ing permission TO use his name for
the vice presidency in case he cannot
be nominated for the presidency.
They do not expect him to consent.

OFFERS
OLIVE BRANCH
EdItOTIalIy Commences Hearst
and His Political
Attitude
Associated Press.

Associated Press.
Lincoln, Neb,, July S,--of keen
interest is Bryan's defense in today's
Commoner Of Hearst and his INDIE
pendence League. II Is considered
significant that Bryan should take
up and defend Hearst's attitude and
sincerity at this time. Delegates here
who are willing to express themselves
relieve Bryan IL not only willing to
make peace with the New York man
but will go far to mako overtures
TO that end In the event OF finding
the independence party leader in
receptive mood. One Kentucky dele
gate stated his belief that the re-
suit will be that the Independence
party when It holds It's convention
will endorse Bryan for the presidency
or possibly accept the whole ticket.
The wording OF the article, which is
entirely Of an editorial nature, leaves
little doubt that Bryan is In SYM
patty to a great extent with the re-
forms advocated by Hearst and sums
up the platform OF Hearst in a man
ner which many say is meant purely
in the way OF extending the olive
branch to Hearst.

CONTESTANTS WORK
IS SURE TO COUNT
Closing Day Of the Daily Panhandle Popularity
Contest Beneficial To Work.
49,,
ing Candidates

Although voting In the Daily Pan
handle Popularity Contest has been
comparatively light for the last few
days yet there is every evidence that
there is a great deal OF work being
done by out OF town contestants. The
next week or ten days is pretty sure
to show the result OF this work and
big vote Is expected for one Of
our out OF town candidates.
The result OF this contest is Of
course only problematical at the
present time and no forecast can be
haEarded even by those closest in
touch with conditions. A club OF ten
yearly subscribers, with its 225, 900
votes, would put even the lowest can
didate far ahead OF the present lead
ing one and there is no certainty but
what such an event may trmspire.
The three leading contestants are
CLOSELY punched and either Miss Al
tier or Miss Franklin could forge
ahead OF Miss Stay with a compare
lively small vote. Present indica-
tons point to first honors going to
an out OF town candidate though
there is, OF course, no certainty about
II. IL is believed there are a numher
of local candidates who still have a
large reserve vote in store. IL is
known at this office that there are
many thousands OF votes that have
been Issued and not yet balloted.
But who these votes will be cast for
is known only to the holders OF them
possibly not even to them as II is

pustOflCs VIII Be al Home In
It's New Building
Tomorrow
(From Fridays Dally.)

Get your lock box early tomorrow.
The Fourth is going to be celebrated
as a day OF all work at the new post
office and one OF the tasks to be &C
complished is the assigning of the
500 lock boxes to the patrons Of tbs
office. 1t will not be possible In
many cases for the holders OF boxes
in the present office to get the same
boxes In the new office, because the
boxes are arranged differently and
numbers which call for small boxes
In the old office correspond to large
boxes in the new place and vice YER
So, So it will be necessary for every
patron who desires lock box to
cemS in person, be assigned box
and learn the combination.
New Equipment Is Slightly.
By hard work yesterday and to-
day most OF the new equipment has
been put in place in the new builG,
ing on Fifth street and although. Ehe
buildinE in some parts will not be
completed for probably two weeks
yet the first floor is far enough
along to be used from now on, The
woodwork Of the new equipment is
OF solid oak, with rubbed church
oak finish, built according to plans
furnished by the office ere and es-
pecially for this office. 1t is COM
plete and Stshtly and provides we'll
for. every need Of the office.
1t Is easS,to see that the office will
soon be hampered in one respect at
least on holidays and Sundays. The
lobby of the place is not much larger
than that n the present office and
as there is but one entrance, the lines
of patrons waiting to be served at
the various windows will pack the
place. Fortunately the different de-
partments are distributed so that the
public can be served much more
rapidly and the lines can be handled
much faster than is possible now.

plenty of room and will be able to

they are east. A subscriber yester-
day remarked that he would cast

was so far behind" and he thought
she was not caring or trying 10 win.
Every candidate in this contest
should let 1t be known that she Is
In the race to win and should make
some sort of showing constantly. No
candidate should feel safe in the be-
lief that she can pile up a big vote
at the very last and win first place.
There are surprises-big ones, too
in store for leading candidates in the
final days OF this contest. Plans for
the last day OF the contest cannot
now be divulged, But this much may
be said. 1t is the candidates who
work now and during the intervening
time before the close OF the contest
that will win first places.
II is planned by the contest man
agement to give the girl who does not
nave wealthy friends an equal show
with those who have, at the close OF
the contest. The gifts in this contest
are not for sale by the Daily PAN
handle-they are TO be given away.
Subscribers are what is desired and
every protection possible will be
given to those contestants who OBJ
tain subscriptions. No matter where
you may stand now in the line OF
contestants, make an effort to reach
the top and you will find at the close
of the contest that your personal
work will count as much as would
the wealth OF friends.
