DARING GOWN
STIRS SOCIETY

Little Rock, Nov. 14.-Little
Rock has been considerably stirred
the past few days over the publica-
ton of an article In which the
gown of young society lady of
the city was minutely described.
The young lady is stated to have
appeared at one of the leading So
cjal functions OF the week, attired
in dress of crepe d. chene, under
which she wore but the usual cor
sage and pink tights. The cling
ing effects Of the dress was won-
derful, and gave it an ultra fash
ionable effect which sidetracked
the sheath skirt. Those who at
tended the fashionable affair in
question discussed the dress freely
the next day, as it had been the
chief attraction of the entertain
ment. There will be another fash
ionable affair Monday night, given
by the same set, but it is doubtful
if the gown will again appear in
public, though its wearer is sure to
be found among the dancers.

AN INCIDENT OF LONG AGO
Little Boy of Faulkner County Who Be-
came Great Preacher.

In the current issue of the West
ern Methodist, Rev. James E.
Caldwell recalls an interesting oc-
currence in the early history of this
county. The Miss Vann referred
to later became Mrs.. w. Duncan
and the mother of Judge w. H.
Duncan and Mrs: w. L. Durham
of this city.
81 want to mention a little in
cident," says Mr.. Caldwell, that
occurred in one of my Sunday even
ing appointments at B. V. Kings
on the Cadron several miles above
where Conway is now, an incident
which in the light of subsequent
events was of rare interest on my
first circuit, the Louisburg 1854.
There was a little lad there going
to school to Miss Alma Vann.
His mother attended service, and
after dismission returned home.
Her little son concluded to follow
her. Miss Vann requested me to
overtake him and bring him back.
1 overlook him on the bridge, and
he informed me in no very mild
terms that he did not want to 60
back and that he would not, but
after quite an effort on my part 1
succeeded in turning him over to
his teacher, who, wi en- l left, was
giving him good religious lecture
about the bears that destroyed the
bad children. That, then little
boy grew to young manhood, was
converted, entered the ministry
and is now the Rev. B. H. Great
house, D. D. God bless you, my
dear brother, and by his grace
make your ministry abundantly
successful, and bring you at last
to meet your mother and teacher
in heaven.

COMMISSION
SAYS NOTHING

Little Rock, Nov. IA silence
so intense that it is painful per-
meates the air of the Arkansas
railroad commission quarters. 1t
has been this way since yesterday
afternoon when the members of
the commission were served
with citation to appear in the
United States circuit court Thurs
day morning and answer to the
charges of contempt, preferred
against them there by attorneys of
the Rock Island and Iron Noun
tain railroads. Not one of the COM
missioners, nor Roy D. Campbell
prosecuting attorney of this dis
trict, who was cited with them,
will talk of the matter, for fear
their conversation might be con-
structed as contemptuous also.
The contempt proceedings will
be taken up at 10 O'Clock Thursday
morning and the commissioners
will be represented by Attorney
General Kirby and probably some
special counsel. The commission
ers being advised by the best legal
talent in the state before taking
the step of directing penalty suits
are not the least worried over the
outcome, however, though they
have been jokingly informed the
county jailer has purchased tour
new tin plates, four new tin spoons
and four new tin cups.
Attorneys for the railroad claim
the commission has violated the
injunction granted against the two
cent passenger rate and freight
traiff of the commission in order.
ing the penalty suits which were
filed Saturday afternoon by Prose
cutting Attorney Campbell. They
allege the commission, objecting to
the new rates of the railroads,
should have promulgated a new
set of rates and directed the rail-
roads to comply with them before
ordering penalty suits. The COM
missioners merely smile and keep
on saving wood while they say
nary word.

GRANT OCLESBY
FATALLY SHOT
FROM WEDNESDAYS DAILY.

Frank Price, negro preacher,
shot and fatally wounded Grant
Oglesby, a negro tenant, at Prices
place on Caney creek three miles
east of this city, about 6 o'clock
this morning.
About thirty squirrel shot en-
tered Oglesby's breast and stom-
ach, and although ne is reported
alive at noon today, DR.. w. R.
Greeson, who attended him, says
the negro cannot recover. Price,
as soon as the shooting was over,
sent word to Sheriff w. M. Brady,
and Deputy ]. S. Johnson placed
him under arrest. He was taken
before Justice of the Peace w. T.
Wilson this morning and put un-
der bond of $500 appears in that
court on Nov. 20, on charge of
assault with intent to kill. Price
made his bond and was released.
Price's Story of Shooting.
According to Prices story of the
shooting, Oglesby, who was cul-
tivating some of Prices land on the
shares, had previously threatened
him on account of some trivial dis
agreement. About daylight this
morning, Price says, Oglesby's
wife came to his house and he gave
her some instructions about gath
ering some cotton. When the wo-
man repeated his words to Oglesby,
the latter became very much in
censed and grabbed his gun and
came running upto Prices house,
only few rods distant.
Price claims that he induced
Oglesby to back without having
any trouble the first time, but that
the latter turned around and again
came in his direction with his gun
pointed toward Price. Price then
fred at Oglesby, who dropped his
gun and went home.
Oglesby's gun was found by
Deputy Sheriff Johnson in the
place where Price claimed it was
dropped. The gun contained a
loaded she'll the cap of which was
indented by the hammer, showing
it had snapped.

ence, says this mornings Gazette.
Mr.. Donaghey, who was one of the
best-known contractors in the state
prior to his entrance into politics.
can easily tell you what the cost of
moving yard of earth or stone
will be, and anything along this
line is interesting to the man who
will in January succeed John S.
Little as governor of this state. So
yesterday afternoon he took look
over the work now being done in
the Union Station yards here and
soon made the acquaintance of
Engineer Jones, who is in charge
of the work at this time.
Trainloads of earth and stone
were being brought into the yards
from a point some seven miles from
the city, and the work of unload
ing it proved interesting to the
governor-to-be. The operation of
the ledgerwood brought out many
questions from Mr.. Donaghey, and
the better part of the afternoon was
was spent in the company of En-
gineer Jones.
Beats politics., said Mr.. Don
aghey, as he boarded an uptown
car. Rather take a contract to
fill the Union station yards than
go through another campaign for
governor.

of officers and teachers is AZ. So
great has the attendance become,
that it is necessary to maintain a
branch school at Hendrix College
for the students OF that institution.
This is in charge of Prof. M. ].
Russell and the regular Sunday
school is superintended by L. c.
Holman.
"The Epworth League, con-
tinued Mr.. Stevenson, "is another
very active department of our
church work. Both of the women S
societies have also done splendid
work.
"The church in all Its depart
ments has raised total of consid-
erably over $4,000 during the year.
Besides paying the salary of the
pastor, it has met every conference
claim in full and has supported its
special missionary in Cuba, Rev.
Henry Smith, and has liquidated
a debt on the building of nine
years standing, amounting to over
$500"
Mr.. Stevenson is much gratified
over the fraternal spirit existing
between the various churches in
the city, and says that a better
feeling seems to exist here than in
almost any town in which he has
had a charge.

HENDRIX WAS
overwhelmed
FROM TUESDAYS DAILY.

Wearing a dry grin on their
faces, the Hendrix football team
returned this morning from Ark

by Henderson yesterday by the
overwhelming score of IS to o.

Der Of the vanquished team, "and
they simply went through US when
ever they got ready" =" The press
report of the game sent out from
Arkadelphia follows:
Arkadelphia, Nov. 16. - In a
game which was a turnover for
Henderson, Hendrix went down
in defeat today to the tune of IS
to o. Henderson by a constant
series of terrific line plunges, plow-
ed mercilessly through the Con-
way mems line, whose eyebrow
tackling did not avail much in
this section. Although eleven
touch downs were scored on them
and Berry kicked ten goals, the
Hendrix men never gave up and
battled nobly to the end against
their superiors.
Frank Williams work at tackle
was spectacular, while the Hen
derson ends and backs also starred.
Hendrix was strongest in her
quarter, whose punting was effect
i've. Henderson did not resort to
punting much.

CLAIMS SHE
WAS ROBBED
FROM FRIDAYS DAILY.

Mrs. Harry Whipple, whose
husband operates a concession at
the Modern Carnival Co., now
playing here, was robbed of SIG
by three highwaymen on Oak
street last night, according to state
ments made by her this morning.
She says she was returning from
the show grounds to the Markham
hotel, where she is boarding, short
ly after ten O'Clock last night, and
as she passed Boydston &. Adams
meat market three men ran out
from the side of the building and
overpowered and robbed her. One
of them, she states, threw his
hand over her mouth to keep her
from screaming, while another
held a pistol in her face and took
a pocketbook containing SIG from
her coat pocket. Mrs. Whipple
says the men wore slouch hats
which concealed their faces, and
she could give no description of
their appearance.

SCIENTIFIC FARMING PAYS
G. D. Sowell Makes 40 Bushels Of Corn to
Acre Against IS Last Year.
FROM WEDNESDAYS DAILY.


FROM WEDNESDAYS DAILY.
Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
l want to say few words about
the old and new system of farming.
The difference is very great. In
1906 I worked piece of land in
corn and it made IS bushels to the
acre, under the old system. Under
the demonstration system this year
it will make 40 bushels to the acre
on the sam: land.
1t is the duty of every farmer to
attend the meetings and discuss
the things that relate to progressive
farming and other matters of spec
ial interest to an agricultural peo-
pie. If it is true that the man
who makes two ears of corn where
only one grew before is public
benefsctor, l believe in aiding and
promoting the natural conditions
of agriculture in this state.

PERRY COUNTY is SUED
Bridge Company Asks Judgment for $1,000
in Federal Court.

Little Rock, Nov. I7.-Suit has
been filed in the United States Fed
eral court by Bradshaw, Rhoton
& Helm, for the Southwestern
Bridge Co. against Perry county,
asking for a judgment for So, 700.
This suit was originally filed in
Perry county but dismissed to be
brought in the Federal court here.
On December II, 2,Ieo6 the county
judge of Perry county, according
to the complaint, let the contrac:
for the building of bridges in the
county to the Virginia Bridge &
Iron Co., which later assigned the
contract to the plaintiffs. The
Southwestern company alleges it
continued with the erection of the
bridges until last year when it
went into the hands of a receiver.
The bridges were completed and
the county judge allowed the bill,
but a citizen objected to the ac-
count and appealed to the circuit
court, which case was dismissed
in order that the suit might be
brought in the Federal court here.
The account is for the erection o1
four steel bridges across Fourche
river.

for Hendrix were Anderson and
