Blaine was nominated four years later,
Harrison in 1883. and Cleveland was
chosen there In 1854 and 1892. after which
the structure was torn down. IL thus
proved the cradle In which an unusual
number OF Presidents We're rocked.
All Cut and Dried Now.
1t seems almost impossible ever again
TO have such convention as that Of 1880.
The Republican party is to-day so thor
oughly organized that the selection OF its
Presidential candidate Is almost neces-
sarily agreed upon in advance. The
band wagon is the great American We
hicle. Unlike European. countries, we
have but two parties OF any account; the
average American wants at least five
chances out of ten OF being In on the
distribution Of patronage. Similarly q
candidate for a nomination who is seen
TO be clearly in the lead attracts to him
self on that account support. Just as a
rolling SNOWFALL increases IN size Nc
Klnley was a gradual acCretion candi-
date; so has been Mr.. Taft, and so viii
be most other Republican candidates
henceforth. The play OF the future will
be for the chance to make the original

tee. for the selection Of delegates from

AS a corollary to this the selection Of
the Vice Presidential candidate In ad-
vance-just as soon as the head of the
ticket has been in popular opinion agreed
upon-is sure 70 come. II would be a
change FOR the better over the plan which
gave us Arthur In 1850. and. incidentally.
Arthur Sewall in 1896 and Henry G. Davis
in 1905 among Democratic drafts from the
grab box. With these developments our
conventions will become huge ratification
meetings, ratifying the choice OF the party
rank and file as disclosed in more pre-
liminary contests. At least this is the
way IL looks this year. So II has looked
ever since 1888. when Harrison was nomi-
mated in circumstances which made the
Republican convention OF that year a
mild echo Of that of 1850. The spirited
convention Is one OF those good old Gus
toms which are dying out, lest they
should corrupt the world"

Aged Man Slain in His Store

Mystery surrounds the murder of Samuel Randolph, aged 80 years, owner of a general store at DogtowR two miles from Mulberry. whose body was found in his store at an early hour Wednesday morning. A large gash, apparently cut by a blunt in strument, was found in the back of his head. This wound had caused his death
 The motive for killing the aged man cannot be fixed, as he was not known to have any enemies, and the con siderable amount of money which was in the store at the time was not touched. He had $40 in cash on his person and about $500 in the store. Not a cent was taken.
 The body was discovered Wednes- day morning by Sterling Party and Lem BeneauX, who went into the store to make a purchase. They found both doors to the store open and the body lying in a pool of blood be- tween the stove and a counter. The lamp was still burning. The coron- CTS jury, which conducted the inquest over the body, returned verdict to the effect that Randolph was mur- dered by parties unknown to the jury.
 Randolph had lived at Dogtown several years He had no relatives in that section of the country. He was separated from his wife some time ago She now lives at Fort Smith,

It is alleged that Huntley and the negro had been on bad terms for several weeks, due, it is said, to the negro's cratic ways of working.

Unknown White Man Found Murderet

Unknown White Man Found Murdered.
 An unknown white man was found dead at Rusellville Sunday morning by an employe of the St. Louis Iron Mountain and Southern railway. The body was lying on the third track, about 30 feet from the depot, in a pool of blood. The man had evidently been murdered, as there was a deep and long stab in the chest, just below the heart, and another in the back there was also a slight cut on the throat.
 The body was found about o'clock Sunday morning by an employe, but death had evidently occurred some time before the body was was found, as it was stiff and cold The pockets were searched, and besides several smaller articles a painters union card was found, which had on it the name of Edward Bell, Oklahoma City, Okla. Over $7 in cash was also found in the pockets.
 The man looked as though he was 50 years old, was grayheaded and very dirty and bloody. Blod was all over his clothing and face, as well as his hands In the right hand he clenched some paper and grass, as though he had made a desperate struggle to rise. There was fish tattooed OF both his arms.
 The body was taken to the H. V. Williamson undertaking establishment, where hundreds of persons attempted to identify it.
 The officers are busy, and as there were several suspicious characters around the depot Saturday night, many arrests will probably follow.
 The coroner's jury returned the fol lowing verdict after the inquest Sun day afternoon: "The diseased came to has death by the hands of parties un- known to the jury The man fell face downward, his nose striking q lump of coal and his left arm stretched across the third track. His moustache, which was gray, was saturated with blood. He was about five feet and nine inches in height.

Want New County.

It is expected that when the legis- lature convenes bill will be intro duced for the creation of a new county in north Arkansas out of portions oi Izard, Stone and Fulton counties, with Calico Rock, lzard county, as the county seat. The country in that section of the state is mountainous and as the county seats of the three counties are now located it makes it inconvenient for many persons in each of the counties to attend court. With the new county established, ii is believed, the arrangement would be satisfactory to all concerned.

James Cain Slain by John rayIcr.


 James Cain, a liveryman of McCro:y and a brother of William Cain of Augusta, sheriff of Woodruff county, was shot and almost instantly killed on the streets in front of his stable at 2:S0 Tuesday afternoon by City Marshal John C. Taylor, with whom he had heen involved in quarrel There were 8 number of witnesses to the shooting and the general opinion prevails there that the officer acted in self-defense. although he has been ar rested and is being held in jail.
 Taylor and Cain, both of whom are married and have families, have been neighbors for some time. Monday Cain and his family moved to another part of the town, and before leaving Cain took down the wire fence be- tween the yards and carried it away with him, ignoring the protest of Mrs. Taylor, who claimed that portion of the fence at least, was the prop erty of her husband, absent from home at the time.
 Not until Tuesday morning did the
  asked Cain why he had taken the fence down without first notifying him. Cain answered that he owned the wire and had a right to it and in the argument that followed both men became very angry. At 2:30 Tuesday afternoon the men again met and the quarrel was renewed. Taylor is said to have struck Cain with his fist, and when the latter drew his revolver IS alleged to have secured his own from it's holster and had fired twice before Cain could press the trigger of his weapon Four times the officer shot, each bullet taking effect in Gains body one striking his arm, another enter ing the back and two penetrating the chest. Crying to Taylor not to shoot again Cain turned and ran toward his barn, falling dead before he had gone more than a few feet.
 After the shooting Taylor gave him. self up to the officers and was taken to jail to await the verdict of the coroner's jury.

Loses $13O in TenderIoin.

Bright and early before breakfast Saturday morning, Justice of the Peace L. Roberts and Deputy Consta- ble Will Scott of Argenta were aroused from their slumbers to hurry to the justices cfIice to listen to a tale of woe from the lips of w. c. Turner, a prominent farmer of Lonoke county, who, after disposing of 52 bales of cotton at Lonoke Friday, had drawn about $200 and took party of eight of his tenants and friends to Little Rock and Argenta and who dur ing the course of his trip through the underworld, was relieved of the re- mainder of his roll, which at that time contained about S130.

Shooting Affray at Walnut Ridge.

As the result, it is said, of ill-feel- ing, which has existed for several years, Contractor Lee Ridgeway was shot and probably fatally wounded at 93:0 o'clock Saturday night at Wal nut Ridge by Ali Bagley, brother of the late Ed Bagley, whom Ridgeway shot and killed several years ago.
 The charge passed through Ridge ways intestines and there is little hope for his recovery.
 Bagley has been arrested and is now held in the jail at Powhatan. He is son of a wealthy planter.
 Ridgeway shot Ed Bagley while the former was acting marshal of the town and while he was attempting to ar rest Bagley Ridgeway was acquitted on the plea of self-defense. Ever since then, it is said, a feud has eX- isted between the Ridgeway and Bag ley families.

Governor PindaIl Willing.

Governor Pindal stated Thursday that he was not at all alarmed over the alleged night riding in Arkansas, but admitted that the situation was becoming serious in Tennessee and that he was perfectly willing to meet the governors of the several states, affected, as suggested by Governor Patterson, to devise means of putting an end to the lawlessness. The gov ernor was of the opinion, however, that there would be no necessity for such meeting if the governors in the 5tates where riding" was being done would act as promptly in suppressing it as Governor Patterson has.

Anti-Betting Law May Be AssaiIed.

The Business Mems League of Hot Springs Tuesday night recognized the issue as to whether or not there shall be a repeal of the Amis anti-betting law in this state, and decided to hold a meeting next month, with full at. tendance present when vote will be taken as to whether the operation Of a race track at that place is best for the community.
 The Oakland track, one of the best racing plants in the country, is located there, and in former years had been the pig drawing attraction for winter season patronage. The reform eIe- ment of the city waged fight against it in the last legislature, and caused the passage of a law against betting on racing. Sentiment has changed to a degree, and the commercial or. ganizations will decide on a stand. and if majority favor racing, will urge the legislature to repeal the pre- sent law.

Short Lines Get Their Inunction.

snort Lines Get l heir inunCIion.
 In the United States Circuit Court Tuesday Judge Trieber granted tue nine operated or leased lines of the Iron Mountain the injunction asked for against the Railroad Commission of Arkansas to prevent the commis- sion from enforcing commission freight tariffs or the two-cent per mile passenger fare. The case was presented for the railroads by Moore, Smith & Moore and the commission was represented by Attorney General Kirby. The arguments were brief on both sides, inasmuch as the argu- ment would have been quite the same as was presented formerly when the main line of the St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern Railway Com pany obtained the same sort of an injunction. The Iron Mountain is now in position to enforce freight rates of it's own making and the three cent passenger fare on all it's lines owned or controlled in Arkansas.
 After the short lines have deposited bonds with the state, and after their rates have been officially filed with the Railroad Commission, they will start the three-cent per mile passen- ger charges. It will probably be about 10 days before the new rates become effective.
 The Little Rock, Hot Springs and Western Railroad, also a subsidiary company of the Iron Mountain, did not apply for an injunction. ThaS would seem to indicate that the con- pany intends charging only two cents on that line.
