LEVEES HOLDING
 RIVER STILL RISING
Crest of the Rise Passed Ft. Smith Yesterday and River Will Register 2s Feet Here. Say River Men RaYine Win Overflow.

--~~Vith the Arkansas river rising rapidly with every hour at this point
 the levees along the lower Arkansas below Pine Bluff are being strength
 ened and determined effort is be-
 ing made by the planters to prevent
 a break in the levees and general overflow if the levees give way All the convicts. on the. .state~farm at Cum mins are being used in levee work and adjoining levees are also being thrown up and made stronger
 The river at Little Rock yesterday showed A feet at o'clock in the af- ternoon, with the prediction that the suage would register 26 feet by this morning. The guage back of the court house here at late hour last night registered more than 25 feet with the river still rising Some river men say the Arkansas will go to 2S feet here. The river was still rising at Ft Smith yesterday morning, but reports later in the afternoon stated that the crest had passed that point
 With fair weather the rest of the week the indications are that the river will be falling at Ft. Smith today and if it does an overflow of the lower Arkansas valley plantations may be avoided.
 County Judge Gould yesterday in- spected the Frenchtown levee. He declares that there need be no uneasi- ness as to the levee holding for it can stand eight feet more of water.
 The Plum Bayou levee above this city is stronger than ever and plant CTS protected by it say that it will take 10 feet more of water to reach it's top, which is not likely to be re- corded.
 The eastern suburbs of the city of Pine Bluff may suffer from high water today, as it is figured that the FrenchtOWn levee, a few miles below this city, will force the water into the ravine about six blocks east of the court house. This water will spread over the low part of the city and while no great damage can result, it may prove a great inconvenience and interfere with traffic along the street adjacent to the ravine

the speaker addressed himself sub stantially as follows: How can I find the true church of Christi" This is the question that confronts every man who is conscious of the necessity of learning all of Christ's teachings after he acknowledges that he can not learn these teachings with cer- talnty from his own private reading of the scriptures. He turns to the church to be taught, but the multitude of churches bewilders him, and he is at q loss to know how he can find for him. self which is the true church. They cannot all be right whatever their sincerity, since they disagree and con- tradict one another. So true is this, that there is not single gospel teaching, strictly understood, upon which they all agree. But this much he knows: That Christ established a church to take his place in the world as teacher of men, and that church must be in the world today, and must teeach exactly as Christ taught. that is, with authority, giving infallible certainty, and holding consistently and constantly to one body of doc urine.
 It must speak with certainty, as he spoke with certainty; it must speak with authority, as he spoke with au- thority; it must have absolute unity of doctrine, even as his doctrine had absolute unity.
 Thus it was that the Apostles taught namely, with authority. infallible cer- tainty and with unity. Now amongst the various Christian churches today the Catholic alone so teaches, as all other churches recognize the individ- ual's right of private judgment In justification of it's methods of teach ing the Catholic church claims that 1t Is the historical church.: that is that it is nineteen hundred years old It is the apostolic church and must be the true church if the promise of Christ was true. Behold. I am with you always. even to the consummation of the world If that promise failed even once then the divinity of Christ must be denied.
 Tonight's lecture will explain the Catholic teaching concerning the Lords Supper. Among the questions to be answered tonight are: "Why are Catholics not allowed to assist al services in non-Catholic churcheso' and Why is the Catholic church op- posed to such societies as the Masons and Odd Fellows?"

IN the evening going past with
an old buggy, which they had taken

Implement house. The boys broke IN
to the hen coop belonging to the
Union Provision Company and packed
number Of live fowls into an empty
orange crate and hauled them away
in the buggy. When opposite the
Dana Brown resident the chickens
began to make considerable noise, and
the boys thinking they would surely
be caught, ran off leaving their booty
and buggy where it was

The boys have hung about the alley

and load were taken in charge by the
authorities Tuesday morning there
were five live chickens left in the

taken in charge by the constable
but as no complaint was made against
them thew were allowed to 90.

CRANE ISSUES STATEMENT
Says Taft Is Satisfied With Hitch
cocks Management.

Chicago, Sept. Ex-senator Crane
OF Massachusetts made a statement
which effectually disposed of the wide
ly published story that his visit to
western headquarters of the Repub-
lican national committee presages re-
organization and the subordination of
Chairman Hitchcock's authority to
that of other Republican leaders. In
order that there should be no misun~
derstanding concerning bis visit to
Chicago at this time Senator Crane
dictated the following:
Il came here At the especial request
of Chairman Hitchcock, with whom /
am, as member of the advisory COM
mittee, associated, and who wished to
consult with me regarding the cam
pafgn. Mr.. Taft, whom recently met
at Cincinnati, expressed himself az be-
ing thoroughly satisfied with Chair
man Hitchcock's management Of tho
campaign"
To representative of the Associat>
ed Press Crane characterized the ru.
NOR that Mr.. Taft is dissatisfied with
the management of the campaign as
being unworthy of notice. He said,
however, that in view of the various
stories printed he anticipated being
questioned by representatives of the
press and he had decided, therefore
to issue a brief formal statement.

The siege of drought, which just
ended this week, has had telling effect
on the cream market IN this city and
even at the price being offered by a
local firm. which is considerably above
the market quotations. The cows
have not had pasturing to speak Of for
some time, the grass having dried up
for lack of rain. The scarcity of
cream will not be relieved materially
until more grass springs up.
Cream was SO scarce in st. Cloud as
to become very serious problem to
the ice cream dealers of that city.
Relief was asked from dealers in this
city, and the first part of the week a
shipment of ten gallons of ice cream
was made by local firm to a ST.
Cloud Ice cream dealer.
st: Cloud is also suffering an ice
famine: In this commodity Little
Falls is being well supplied by the 81.
