Is Sinecure for Someone.

The question of who shall be Sc
lected as the messenger to deliver to
the speaker of the United States
House of Representatives the result
of the vote of Arkansas in the recent
presidential election is one that has
been discussed very little except by
the Democratic electors whose duty
it is to choose such messenger.
So far as known, John H. Hinemon
of Arkadelphia, and David L. King of
Hardy, are the only two electors who
have been spoken of as candidates for
the task, which is a very pleasant one,
as it includes a trip to the national
capital and about $1,000 for expenses,
paid by the national government.
In addition to the two Democrats
mentioned as being candidates for
messenger, the other Democratic pres
idential electors for Arkansas are:
H. Clay Sloan, L. c. Going, j. w.
Wythe Walker, S. T. Rowe, Tom D.
Brooks, T. Harvis Nixon and R. S.
Warnock.
These electors will meet in Little
Rock on January II, at which time
they will cast the vote of Arkansas
for William Jennings Bryan for presi-
dent and John w. Kern for vice presi-
dent, and elect a messenger to go to
Washington and deliver the vote to
the president of the United States
Senate.
The electors who will go to Lit
tie Rock to perform this duty will be
paid for their trouble by the state OF
Arkansas. Each will receive 81 for
every 20 miles of travel from his
residence and return to his home, and
81 per day for every day engaged
in Little Rock in casting the vote for
president and vice president.

Arkansas Alone Has No Official Flag.
Out of all the States of the Union,
Arkansas is said to be the only one
which has no flag, and this will prob
ably be brought to the attention of
the Legislature in the coming session.
Every few weeks some call is made
upon the governor for one of Arkan-
sas' State flags to be used in decorat-
ing for some national convention or
celebration, but the governor must al
ways answer that Arkansas has no
flag, which is embarrassing to the Off
cial, as it is reflection upon the
State.
From far away China now comes an
appeal from the American company of
Shanghai Volunteer Corps, for one of
the Arkansas flags. The appeal is made
by Charles DENLY, consul general in
Shanghai, who states the American
company consists of so natives of the
Land of the Brave and the Free, who
drill with American guns and accord
ing to the manual of the United States
army, joining with like companies OF
other nations in Shanghai, to make up
the volunteer corps, which keeps al
ways a perfect fighting machine for
the protection of the foreigners in
that city. Consul DENLY says the
American company has now the flags
of almost every State of the Union,
which are used on State occasions and
go far to arousing patriotism in the
countrymen. He says the flags are of
all descriptions, and as there are Ar
kansans in the colony, an Arkansas
flag is needed to complete the collec-
ton. Again Governor Pindall has
been forced to write stating Arkansas
has no State flag.
Should the State historical, or some
other society not urge the next Leg
islature to provide for a State flag,
bearing the State coat of arms or
some emblem, private citizens may
urge the Legislature to pass such an
act

CLAIMS LAPSE OF MEMORY.
Memphis Lumber Dealer is Arrested
in San Francisco for EmbezzIe-


San Francisco.-Captain of Police
Perry of Memphis Tenn, arrived here
first of the week to get VIM A Dolph,
a partner in the Neal-DOlph Lumber
Company of Memphis, who has been
indicted in that city on a charge Of
embezzlement and was arrested here
upon telegraphic advice from Tennes-
see.
Dolph has several friends in this
and surrounding cities, and one of
these is James B. Sloan of Berkeley,
with whom he has been staying since
his arrival on the Pacific coast some
days ago 1t was at the Sloan home
that he was arrested. Mrs. Dolph ar
rived from Tennessee last Monday
and when she heard of her husbands
arrest at once instituted proceedings
to secure his release on a writ of
habeas corpus. The hearing was set
for Monday and bail was fixed by
Judge Cook at $4,000.
According to the story told by Dolph
he has no recollection of his actions
since leaving his home in Memphis on
the morning Of November 10 to go to
the office, until he suddenly awoke
to find himself in San Francisco. He
at once called upon friend, c. X.
Mcintosh, vice president of the San
Francisco National bank, and by
means of draft on his firm, which
was honored by the bank, secured
the funds of which he was in need.
Mrs. Dolph stated that the first
news she received of her husbands
Whereabouts was on the arrival of the
draft, The following day she received
letter from her husband telling of
his strange plight and at once started
for San Francisco to take him home.
She declared that the indictment of
her husband must be a mistake and
she is positive that his accounts are
in perfect condition.
