DOYNE RESIGNS,
 COOK APPOINTED
Governor Immediately Took Action on This
 Morning.

Special to the Picayune:
 Little Rock, June g, II a. m. When Gov. X. o. Pindall re- turned from his visit to Arkan- sas City, where he has been wis., iting his mother, he found await ing him the resignation of Prof. J. J. Doyne, Superintendent of Public Instruction, to take effect immediately. Gov. Pindall ac- cepted the resignation and issued a commission to Geo. B. Cook, of Hot Springs, appointing him as Superintendent of Public Instruc- tion. to take office July 1. Sev- eral months ago Prof. Doyne was elected president of the new State Normal at Conway, which will open in September, and he will give the major portion of his time from now until the opening of school, making preparations for the successful inauguration of the school. Prof. Cook, who is supe-inte n l e mt at Hot Springs, was nominated as Sup- erintendent of Public Instruction at the recent primaries, and will be elected in September, but the vacating of the office several months earlier made it impera- tive for a head to be appointed. so Gov. Pindall appointed the
 an who is to become Superin- tendent, through his efforts in a few months. Prof. Cook, until the expiration of the term, when he will go to Russellville as SUD- eriutendent of the public schools there.
 Prof. Doyne, who resigned to- day. has been connected with the office for number of years and is one of the best known educa- tors in the state. He was at one time connected with the schools of Fort Smith. He has served as superintendent six terms in all, from 1898 to 1902 and from 1906 to the present time. His resig- nation was not unexpected as MT. Doyne had contemplated the move since being elected presi- dent of the state normal.

Instead of going out to parts of the city where houses are scarce and trees are plentiful, to pull of the 4th of July celebra- tions this year, the merchants of Little Rock will see they will take place in the heart of the city. The city park, the m ost beautiful in the south, will be given over to the young American on that day, and the grounds of the old convent, Seventh and Louisiana street, will be used as a picnic ground for Catholic children dur ing the day.

LEON SPRINGS TRIP
 WILL COST s1o,ooo
Uncle Sam Will Foot the Bill-There Will Be No
 Cost to the State.

Little Rock, June 29. Major Eugene B. Jett today mailed to the War department his estimate on the pay roll of the state milit- ia, which will spend IA days at Leon Springs. Tex, next month. The pay for the regimental off cers alone amounts to over $3.- 900, and it will cost the govern ment about $10, 900 to send the soldiers to the camping ground and bring them back. The Ark ansas troops will probably be in charge of Colonel Henry Stroup, the war department refusing to send a brigadier general, think ing the colonel can do the work. as we'll and save $233 he would have to be paid in per diem.

Under the white emblem of the governor, his friends have yelled themselves hoarse as he argued for local option and local self government. He has led the cru sade for the right of each county to decide it's own affairs. That this is the only true Democratic doctrine has been the plea of the governor. His friends have ac- cused Senator Carmack of being insincere, an incorporate man himself and simply riding a wave of hysteria to be swept into off, flee.
 It has been a free, but blood less war of the red anu white rose. Women ol ators have been imported into the state from Tex as and Georgia, and in the iarg- CT cities of Memphis, Nashville. Chattanooga and Knoxville they have appealed to the voters. Early in the fight, the W.C.T.U. and the Anti-Saloon League join- ed hands under the banner of Senator Carmack and did yeo- man service for him.

DR.. DWIGHT FLOWER.

The community was greatly
shocked last Sunday morning at the
news of the sudden death of DR..
Dwight Flower. 1t was known that
he was not robust in health, but no
sudden demise was anticipated.
DR.. Flower was in his 10th year, be-
ing born January 4, 1889, at Rupert,
VT. He came of an old New Eng
land family, and his fathers name,
Roswell Flower, is name of inf1u-
ence and honor in the east. DR..
Flower won his way by his own
toll. His father was one of the
early settlers at Humboldt, Iowa,
where young Flower spent four
years before he began his struggle
for an education. In 1860 he went
to Antioch College, Ohio, and grad
uated four years later at Union
College, N. Y. Two years later he
graduated from the medical depart
ment at Albany, N. Y. This was
followed by further study in New
York City, then at Heidelberg, a
year at Berlin and four months at
Vienna. In 1875 he came to Wis
consin, locating at what was then
the little village Of Monticello.
There he gave 33 years of his life in
the practice of his profession. In
1879 he was married to Miss Kate
Roser, who survives him. Eight
children were born into his home,
five of whom with the mother sur
vive him.
DR.. Flower was a man of marked
individuality. He did his own
thinking, and was very positive in
the conclusions he reached. He
was a marked force in the commu-
nifty where he lived so long. AS the
only physician in the town he came
into personal professional relations
with almost every home. And
when health began to be impaired
the only way of escape from his
practice lay in seeking home in a
new community. AS a man DIR.
Flower has left an abiding impress
sion in his absolute and unques-
toned integrity, and because of his
great kindness of heart. Like
true physician his service was sub
ieCt to the call of the distressed
without any regard to whether they
could or would pay him. In this
community he has lived but a short
time, but in that time he has won
the regard of those who have come
to know him.
The funeral was held from the
Congregations church yesterday.
conducted by the pastor, Rev. D. b.
