LITTLE ROCK
 NEWS BUDGET
Items Gathered at the State Capital By the Picayune's
 Representative

Little Rock, Ark, July 28.- Circuit Judges, R. J. Lea and E. W. Winfield late yesterday af- ternoon approved compromise by which the Waters Pierce Oil Co. paid Tn to the clerk of the court $1O, 1000 and the three pen al suits and three discrimination indictments pending in the cir cult court against the corporation were dismissed. This compro- mise was the result of an agree ment reached between Lewis Rhoton, just before he resigned as prosecuting attorney, and at torneys of the company. When the matter was taken up in the circuit court yesterday morning Roy D. Campbell, who is now prosecuting attorney, refused to accept the compromise until he looked well into the law to see if he could dismi S the criminal in dictmerts agrinst the cofpora- tion. Mr. Rhoton advised the acceptance of the compromise, showing the court where the state might produce the prima facia evidence against the cor poration, but the witnesses which would give 1t would also bring out other matters which would so cover it up a conviction would be hard to secure. He al- so pointed out the convictions for large amounts in other states, and the way the supreme courts had knocked them out. Mr. Rhoton said in this case the state was getting $l0,o00 with very little trouble, and if the Supreme court of the United States up- held the Arkansas antitrust law in the Hammond Packing Co. case, then other suits could be brought with better chances of conviction. Under these condl- tions Prosecuting Attorney Camp bell agreed to accept the com promise and the state secure ST. 500 with little expense and trou- ble, $2, 300 of the fine going to former Prosecuting Attorney Rhoton, who worked up the suits and indictments.

GRAND JURY
 MAKES REPORT
Find Books Correctly Kept And County Institutions
 In Good Order.

Grand Jury Report for the July term circuit court.
 To the Hon. J. M. Carter, Cir
 cult Judge:
 We, the Grand Jury for the July term of the Nevada Circuit Court, assembled Monday. July 20, 1908, and have diligently in vestigated all violations of law brought to our attention. We have examined 1l8 witnesses and found A true bills.
 While we are confident that there are some violations of law regarding which we could not secure sufficient evidence, yet we congratulate the citizens of our county upon the absence of much serious crime, and we especially congratulate the citizens of Pres colt on the absence of crap shoot ing among our boys.
 We have carefully examined the books and accounts of the different county officers and find them neatly and correctly kept so far as we are able to judge.
 We have investigated the con- dition of the Poor Farm and find 1t in very good condition and the four inmates (paupers) seem to be well cared for. The houses are kept in a neat and orderly manner.
 We recommend that the 80 acre tract of land lying on the east side be sold, as, in our judg- ment, the county does not need it and is not cultivating it.
 We have examined the County Jail and find 1t kept in neat and orderly manner. We recommend that the County Judge comply with the order make by the city with reference to building a con- crete walk in front of the jail.
 We have examined the Court House and find it in the usual state of decline.
 The calaboose is in very poor condition and needs good clean ing. The calaboose at Emmet is in very good condition.
 We have examined the reports of the Justices of the Peace and find them all in. All the Con- stables reports are filed except those of J. l.. Burnell and John Bryson. Jr.
 We find that some of the Con- stables reports show a shortage, but they claim credits due them on account of fines having been remitted by the County Judge. We recommend that these cred it's. if correct, be allowed so that the next Grand Jury may be able to make a full report.
 We wish to thank Your Honor, the Prosecuting Attorney, Sheriff Clerks and other Court officials for their many cOurtesies and kind attention.
 Having completed our labors. we respectfully ask to be dis charged.

BIG CROWD HERE
TOATTEND FAIR

Wilmington is thronged with visit
ors to-day. II is all because Of the
New Castle County Fair at Horse
Show Park. The crowds on the street
betoken that something unusual is
going on, and while it was expected
that hosts of visitors would attend the
fair to-day, nothing like the influx
that occurred this morning was looked
for The trains from down the Della
ware railroad were crowded with fair
bound visitors. and hundreds Of per-
sons drove into Wilmington from the
surrounding country. The boats from
Pennsgrove and Salem also brought
crowds, and the attendance this after
noon doubtless will be record
breaker.
Further judging was made at the
county fair this morning and awards
announced. All the awards have been
announced now except for vegetables
and fruits, and these are now being
tabulated. The announcement Of
awards this morning pertained to
horses and dogs. The report of the
judging of horses by loeal paper yes
terday was unofficial and incorrect.
There was a slight mix up in the
judging and the following explanation
was made by one of the fair managers
this morning:
In judging standard breed horses
yesterday. three stations over four
years old were entered, but as two Of
these failed TO have their registration
papers with them when brought into
the judging ring. the judges therefore
awarded but one premium in that part
of that class and this was taken by
the stallion owned by n. ]. Williams,
of Middletown.
up to this year the management had
/. allowed horses to be entered in two
classes, using a standard breed and
light driving class or any other such
coxsbination, but this wyear it was
ruled that no animal or article should
be allowed to compete for more than
one premium. nor should be entered
into more than one class except as one
of a heard or pair, or IN sweepstakes.
II so happened that several exhibitors
not knowing the rule entered horses in
two classes. All these. however, will
have returned their entry fees for the
classes which should not have been eN-
hibited"
The judging Of the horses has won
general admiration. II. W. bdluWlhf "i
Pennington. n. j.. was judge and he
was assisted by j. L. Baldwin. of West
Chester and William e. Pitt Of New
London, Pa.
In the stations more than two and
less than four years old the first prem
ium, as announced this morning, was
won by w. =. Miller. Of Oxford Pa;
second premium. George ID. Grassland,
of st. Georges; Tor colts less, than two
wears. N J. Williams. cf Middletown,
won first and second premiums.
For mares more than four years old the
first premium was won by Harry Rose, OF
Delaware City; second premium. II. M.
stanford, Philadelphia; mare with foal
first premium. N. j. Williams Of Middle
town.
Blue ribbons for fox terriers with pup
pies was won by Joseph M. Woodward, of
Marshallton; first prize for bull terriers
Joseph s. Stecher, Of wilmington; first
premium for Pomeranian mother with
puppies, Mrs William Crawford. Of Mar
shallton. There was nothing to disturb
the fair this morning and no accidents
or disturbance was reported despite th'
large crowd.
