FIXING THE BLAME
Warden at Tinsman Due to Lose Job Investigating Convict Camp Con-
 citions.

Little Rock, April 20.-The statement of Commissioner Guy B. Tucker, of the department of agriculture, relative to the blame at Tinsman convict camp where ,S convicts were poisoned by a dead hog in the brook from which the water was secured, has created considerably comment, and it is rumored that Superintendent J. A. Pitcock, who has authority in the matter, will discharge the warden, J. P. Stevens, who was in chare at the Tirsman canp. The board or certain members thereof, with the superintendent, and secretary Page will go to the state farm this week to investi- gate the reports of extra heavy work being imposed upon convicts at that place, with view of sus- taining or disproviug the charges made in report to the board by Peniteutiary Physician Russell.
 The ugly reports coming from the farm are supported by an un- usual number of deaths there during the past month.

EASTER SERVICES
 IN MENA CHURCHES
The Knights Templar Go in Body to Hear Dr.. DeLongy at Episcopal Church Large Audience at
 St. Agnes.
Christ is risen 1

All over ChriStendou1, the cele- bration of the resurrection of Christ the Lord, He who died that we might live, was appro- priately observed and the teach. ings of the cardinal doctrines of christianity as taught by Him who spoke as no man could, were again presented to millions of souls; and whatever strife and bitterness that has been eueen- dered in 1908 were Sunday laid aside and in gladsome Hosannas a tribute was paid to the King of all nations.
 The festival or Feast of Love in commemorstion of our Savior's resurrection was an event in Mena and Sunday all of our city churches were handsomely and beautifully decorated with the gifts of Nature, flowers that radi- antly smiled aud reflected the love of the Ruler of the universe, and Praise God from whom all bless jugs flow" burst from Inc lips of devout devotees and found an echo in tue choir above. The Episcopal church was tastefully decorated and the altar presented a veritable bank of roses. The Rev. Dr F. E. DeLongy read the services which was followed by an appropriate address especially delivered to the members of Malta Commandery No. IS, Knights Templar, who were present in body srrayed in uniform.
 The scene presented was one of inspiration and the eloquent words of Dr. DeLongy went di- rect to the heart of the hearers.
 Among those accompanying the Knights were Past Comm a nd CTS Clayton, Lewis and Oluey and Eminent Commander J. K. Todd. The singing of anthems by full choir was exceptionally good and the church was crowded to its utmost capacity.
 Easter at St. Agnes Catholic Church.
 Although the rain fell and the sun did not shine, the attendance at St. Agnes church was good for both the communion services at 7:30 and the High Mass at 10 a. m. Seats W ere filled. The weather being somewhat more pleasant at 7:30 D. m. even a larger congregation was present to participate in the joys of the great feast.
 The services at both the morning and evening service helped to de velop the glad feeling of the day and even listened to with marked at- tention.
 The altars were adorned by artistic hands with all the grandeur of spring time beauty. Amid the palms and ferns and perfect roses, and lighted candles, gorgeous punches of the pure Calla Lilly, and white carnations. (gifts from Cali fornia) bespoke the purity and gran deur of the feast.
 The we'll trained choir was per fectly attuned to the joyful spirit of gladness that reigned round about. It seemed to break forth after it's sad notes of Holy Week, with all the joy and happiness of the angels who sang in such sweet notes on that first Easter morn. Seldom. if ever, has Mena heard a more perfect expres- sion of music or song than the "Allelujah Hymn" rendered by the choir.

WORK OF THE RECLAMATION
SERVICE.

A summation of the work of the
