BUSHNELL RESIGNS AGENCY
Local Station Agent to be Succeeded by J
 w. James, Former Agent.

E. ]. Bushnell has resigned his position as station agent of the Iron Mountain railway in this city, ef- fective March I. The resignation was rendered on the 18th of this month. MT. Bushnell states that his action was prompted by no i'll feeling toward either the company or the patrons of the station, but that the retrenchment policy adopted by the company has so in creased the work and diminished the compensation that he no longer regarded the position as desirable one.
 MT. Bushnell will be succeeded as agent by J. w. James, who held the position for about ten years until he was succeeded by l.. F. Villars about two years ago.
 Roy Rogers, express clerk under MT. Bushnell, has also rendered his resignation effective Sunday.

CHARGES WERE INVESTIGATED
Complaints Filed Against Post
 master Owen.
Little Foundation for Charges Found by Government Officials who Were
 Here Last Week.

A bill of charges filled with the postoffice department by w. L. Canister against Postmaster o. J. Owen of this city was investigated by officials of the department here last Thursday. Evidence was taken by Civil Service Agent Hen drix and Inspector J. $. Swenson at the Hines Hotel.
 The exact nature of the charges has not been made public, al- though it is understood that they are of trival nature, varying from that of "pernicious political activ- ity" to that of rudeness to clerks in the office.
 It is not thought likely by those in position to know, that the charges will be seriously regarded dy the department. At the con- clusion of the investigation it was stated that the charges against Mr.. Owen were corroborated by only one of the witnesses on behalf of the complainant, and that only as to one or two of the minor charg- es, while about ten or twelve cltl- zens testified as to the good repu- tation and efficient service of MT. Owen.
 The findings of the officials will be forwarded to the department at Washington, and a report is ex- pected at an early date. The charges against MT. Owen are said to have had nothing to do with delaying the confirmation Of his re-appointment in the senate, as representative from this state have stated that no complaint has been filed with the senate committee on postoffices and post-roads, where the appointment is now under con- sideration.

NEW R. F. ). MAIL ROUTE
Sixth Route from Conway Rec
 commended by Inspector.
Postofice at Saltillo Discontinued March and will be Supplied by
 Loop Route.

Postofice Inspector J. $. Swenson while here last week went over a proposed new rural free delivery route from the Conway postoffioe and recommended its establish ment, provided a few improve ments in the road were made The new route will be designated as No. 6, is 22 miles in length and will serve o6 families. The course of the route is north and west on the J. A. Crye place, thence north to McMoran place, thence north west to Marshal Burton place, thence east to Wooster road at Townsend farm, thence north to foot of main levee, thence east to Greenbrier road at Dunn corner, thence south to Pickles gap, thence to Jim Hay corner, thence south and west to Shirlong place, west by c. w. Chisler place to post office. The recommendations of the postoffice inspectors are usually acted upon by the department, and it is thought very probable that the new route will be in operation within a few months.
 Saltillo Discontinued.
 The postofice at Saltillo has been ordered discontinued, effective March I. The postoffice has a rural route, which will be contin- ued as a" loop" route, and desig- mated as No. 5 from Conway. The carrier on No. I of Conway will meet the carrier on the loop route and deliver to him his mail, so that the patrons on the Saltillo route will have practically the the same service as before.

 Home Here Saturday Night.

H. Drummer died suddenly at his home in this city Saturday night at SIS o clock. He had just taken bath and partly finished dressing, when he fell to the floor and ex- pired immediately.

 Mir. Drummer was born at Hum berg, Germany, Feb. 9, IS49, and emigrated to the Unit-d States in 1879, settling shortly thereafter at Conway, where he has lived ever since.

He has been continuously employ ed on the same section since that time, being the oldest man on the Missouri Pacific system in point ot service as section foreman. His has been the premium section ot this division ever since the con- pany has adopted the policy of con- ferring this distinction.
 MT. Drummer was thrice mar ried, his first union being with Annie Bourgman, in 1876, who died Sept. 30, 1892. To them were born eight children, Wm. J., Jer- ry, Johnny, Gertrude and Theo- dore of this city; Joseph, who died a few years ago; Herbert, who is on the Isthmus of Panama, and Annie, a nun in a St. Louis con- vent. Mir.

POLITICS IN THE CAPITOL CITY
Great Crowds are Hearing Dona
 ghey Speak.
Conway Man Gathering Harvest of Votes While Opposing Candidates are
 Practically Out of the Running.

Little Rock, Feb. 25. - Special Correspondence. to the general stories which have been sent out concerning the new state capitol suffering from exposure, in its uncompleted condition, no damage to the building is being done by the elements, and the con- dition will be practically the same one year from now, as 1t is today. There is nothing unpro- tected which weather will injure.
 Little Rock will have a Mardi Gras celebration March 5, which will be second only to the one held in New Orleans. The city coun- cil has given permission for a band to parade the streets at night, and for maskers to revel to their heart S content.
 On Monday night the different candidates for legislature in Pulas- Ri county spoke before the Jeffer- son club, a newly organized Dem- ocratic body, telling the platform on which they stand.
 So great is the enthusiasm over the showing of Geo. w. Donaghey in ore county of the state, that the leading candidate for high coun- ty office has issued card saying that the chief plank in his plat form is that he will support Geo. w. Donaghey for governor.
 Republican politics are going about the state at present, and the indications are that the rank and the file, the men who carry the guns, will have something to say when the state convention is held in April. At this meeting 1t is al most certain the majority of the delegates will favor of going to the National Convention unin- structed, and not to get in line for Taft, as indications show Marse Powell Clayton will demand of them.
 Telegrams received in Little Rock late Monday afternoon, told of George w. Donaghey speaking at Jonesboro to a crowd of over 1900 people, and of the great en- thusiasm expressed by his hearers. He spoke to another croud and to almost as many people at Nettle- ton, last night. With such crouds attending his speakings, and such marvellous demonstrations in his favor, people in this section have quit considering the other candi- dates as even possibilities. The Donaghey wave sweeps with ad- ded zest each day, the number of votes being added by the thou sands. While the other candi- dates are speaking to small crowds and making few votes, Donaghey continues to gather the harvest.
