THE BEST EVER HELD
The State FaIr at Hot Springs the Most Successful In Its nistory.-Laree
 Attendance.

Hot Springs, Oct. 14.-Cul. tured women of Arkansas are much in evidence at the State Fair grounds, this being Club Women's Day." Special pro- grams were rendered in the auditorium of the Exposition Palace by various womens or ganizations throughout the day.
 The morning was occupied, in addition to the usual daily feat ures, by horse show, in which many women drivers participat- ed. During the morning dairy, cattle, sheep, goats and textiles were judged.
 A feature of the afternoon is the automobile race between Arkansas and Texas contestants.
 As the fair progresses it is more plainly seen that the State of Arkansas is awaking to the great importance of the annual State Exposition and the resi- dents are realizing the benefits to be derived from it are of such value as to warrant their hearty support. Both in point of at- tendance and quantity and qual- | fity of exhibits this, the third an nual State Fair, surpasses the two previous efforts to an extent that is highly gratifying to the State Fair officials, and the rep resentative farmers and busi- ness men of the State who hay e the interest of the common wealth at heart.
 All of the exhibitors who have expressed themselves on the subject say that the benefits they have derived from exhibit ing their products, live stock and wares through the Arkan- sas Fair either this year or through the preceding fairs have caused them to determine to exhibit here annually. The results of competitive exhibi- tions on the part of Arkansas farmers have also become appar ent through the increase in vari- ety and quality of the articles placed on view and entered in competitions this year.
 The agricul tural, horticultural live stock, poultry and ladies departments show great gains especially. Nearly all the other departments have advanced.
 That Arkansas is rapidly talk ing her place among the states which rank high lin the cultivation of the general agricultural products instead of being merely cotton. growing state has had effectual demons tration in the agricultur- and horticultural department this year. The exhibits occupy almost twice the space of last year. There are more than 2, GOO individual and county en- tries. Of the 75 counties in this State, 38 are represented by ex' hibits. Last year only IS were represented. Besides this, M. w. Manville, in charge of this division, stated the appearance and general quality of the en tries appear at least 20 per cen better than those of previous years.
 'There are more forage plants hay, clover, peas and alfalfa be ing grown in Arkansas thai ever before," said MT. Manville

TO STOP GOLD EXPORTS
Secretary OF the Treasury Cortclyou
Turns Down Suggestion for Inn

New York, May Elm connection

available for export TO Europe, 1t be-
came known that the suggestion was
made to the secretary Of the treasury
through the New York assay office.
that tax be put on gold bars suffi-
cient to check the outflow of gold to
Europe.
The secretary of the treasury took
the matter under advisement and de-
cided against the suggestion which
was regarded as tending To impair
New York's position as practically
the only free market for gold. The
only charge now made to exporters of
gold bars Is 4 cents on ever 500, this
charge being made to cover the cost
of making and handling the bars.
Bankers frowned on the tax pro-
posal saying that in the long run the
effect OF such an innovation would
probably only be to increase ship
ments Of gold coin.

Today's outrage followed an unsuc-
cessful attempt yesterday to wreck
bridge on the same railroad spanning
the Harlem river.
The bridge was modern steel struc-
ture which had been erected over the
tracks near BHychester station. 1t WIS
built by the Schumacher company of
Philadelphia and for many months had
been the scene of almost constant labor
troubles, IT is alleged that striking

suit two watchmen have been on guard

lowed by n terrific report and the
grinding and tearing of the great steel
girdcrs. Two of the watchmen who
were within so feet of the end of tho
bridge We're thrown to the ground.
Hundreds of windows in the vicinity
were broken. As the watchmen scrain-
