Clarke Stirs the Convention

The river convention to devise
ways and means for the improve
ment of the Arkansas river attracted
many of the most prominent bust
ness and professional men of Arkan-
sas and Oklahoma to Little Rock
last Saturday, and many and stirring
were the events which took place at
the meeting. The feature of the
day was the opposition to the
movement Of Senator James P,
Clarke. Iii addressing the conveh-
ton he said the scheme to make the
Arkansas river navlgable was both
impracticable and impossible He
said the river was of "no earthly
good, and the water was not even
fit to drink" The senator spoke
for 25 minutes, criticising the
movement, and said if he had known
what the real objects Of the meeting
were he would have made his de-
parture for Washington before the
convention convened. The senator's
speech aroused much bitter feeling
against him, and during the remain
der of the session be was the re-
cipient of much adverse criticism.
Judge John X. Thomas of Mus
kogee responded to Senator Clarke
and aroused much enthusiasm when
he attacked the senator's position
with regard to this matter.
Gov. Donaghey then spoke, and
wanted the delegates to know that he
was heartily IN favor of making the
Arkansas river navigable, and would
do everything in his power to bring
about the result.
A letter was read from Senator
JEFF Davis, who declared himself to
be heartily IN favor of the PROPOSE.

Association was held Saturday
night, at which meeting IA new
members were added to the associa-
ton. A number of committees
were appointed, and it was also
decided to prepare and deliver a

will be held on the first Friday
night in each month.

Wear shoes Bennett & Rice have
just received. They are something
new.
Their many friends here are ex-
ceedingly sorry to learn of the
serious illness of little Misses Lila
and Edith Martin, who have been
i'll at the home Of their grandfather,
Dennis Reynolds, at Reyno, for
tAc last ten days. They went up
there on visit a couple of weeks
ago and were both taken suddenly
i'll, one with scarlet fever and the
other with serious throat affection.
We hope they may both soon re.
cover and return home, that they
may spend the holidays with their
schoolmates here.
One very noticeable feature Of
the entertainment at the opera house
Friday night was the unusual
quietness of the ''knee breeches"
crowd on the front row. One year
ago, if our memory serves us right,
all the best of the program was
drowned out by the continuous
"racket" by the kids in the audi
ence. Evidently somebody who
understands discipline has had con
troll of this crowd during the last
six or eight months.
