DAMAGE OF $5O,000
 TO POTATO CROP
One.Half of Crop in the Vicinity of Fort Smith Is Destroyed by
 Floods.

Fort Smith, June 9.-The first car of potatoes shipped from this field to St. Louis was raised near Paris. The buy CTS here say the stock showed the effect of excessive rains. There has been less rain about Paris than here and digging is now general there.
 Conditions here are very unsettled. It is estimated that one-half of the crop within 10 miles of the city has been destroyed by floods. Much bot tom land has been under water for three weeks and the loss in this vi cinity on potatoes alone is estimated at S50,000. The Eastern markets are all unsettled, and local growers have concluded to wait until the ground dries out before beginning to dig. It is not believed that more than 700 cars will be shipped this season.

 fore Ineligiblc.

Hot Springs, June 9.-In the answer filed in circuit court yesterday by the attorneys for Sheriff R. l.. Williams in the custer proceedings brought by s. \. Buchanan, contestant for that office it is alleged that Buchanan is ineli- Sible to hold the office for the reason that while county clerk he failed to ac- count for fees in excess of S5,0OO the amount allowed clerk by statute. Williams attorneys claim that under the constitution, if their contention is true, the governor could not com mission the contestant even if the court should rule in the latters favor.
 Buchanans attorneys declare that il is now too late to raise such ques- ton and that, furthermore. the clerks office never has paid fees amounting to the sum mentioned. Mir. Buchanan was county clerk for four years and the records of his collec- tiOns during that time were destroyed in the big fire of 1905. The attorneys for Williams state that they will un- dertake to prove that Buchanan did collect fees in excess of 5000 per annum
 The custer case is to be called up this morning.

FIFTY YEARS OF THE CABLE.

So rapidly do we of the present generation of Americans rush forward ito greet new marvels in the march of progress that we have little time, as a rule. for serious retrospection. Thus our great anniversaries are few, and even these are fast losing their orig inal significance The present year, however, is filled With centennials of great beginnings It also marks half century of one of the most important devices ever conceived by the mind of man, and without which the world of today would move in sluggish cur rent, and nations would be isolated save for the wearisOme service of steamship mails.
 It was just fifty years ago this very month of June that the first word over the Atlantic cable was flashed in a greeting from Queen Victoria to Presi- dent Buchanan. It does not seem such a long time ago. yet to pause and
 
 mental communication by cable since then is to survey the most wonderful period in the worlds history. The name of Cyrus West Field will always be inseparably connected with an en- terprise that at the time was of match Tess daring. While he was not the hn tn l cable beneath the waters of the At 1antic to connect England and Amer ica, it was he who had the far-seeins perception. the courage and the in domitable energy to carry out the project. and happily he lived to Wit ness the duplication of his enterprise in ganglia of deep-sea cables all over the world
 When Cyrus Field first began his undertaking he was rich man. in the estimate of that simple time. He retired from business at a compara- tively early age with $250.000 His was a restless spirit, and fate seems to have predestined him for the mag niticent task which he accomplished against difficulties that would dis hearten any ordinary man. When he proposed the laying Of cable under the Atlantic he was greeted with rdi- cule. He was referred to as fantastic dreamer, dishonest eXploiter, an idiot. Hard as it was to complete the plans for putting the cable under the seas, it was still harder to secure funds, for some of the foremost finan- ciers of that time held him in dis credit.
 How many times Field and his loyal associates tried to lay the first cable and failed is a matter of history, but the world will never know the work. dngs of that determined soul that kept on in the face of discouragements

Recently business man, pointing to a woman and a young girl who were going up the street together, said to one of the scribes:
 Do you know that woman:'
 "No."
 Well, ostensibly she is a lady. She knows how to appear in public and has the entree Of respectable homes. In reality, as some of the men about town well know, she is depraved woman She dresses well and preserves appear ances. She has not been turned out of society because she has not been cx posed
 "And the young girl who is with her evidently she is intimate with the woman. Doubtless she is a pure girl She will not be so long if she associates with that woman. wish knew her father would like to warn him Couldn't you put something in the pa per about dangerous women of that kind?'
 Which set the editor to thinking
 or It IS QulCe true tnat many motH- CTS warn their daughters against evil minded men, but are not careful con corning evil minded women. And yet
 A MORALLY DEBASED WOMAN IS TENFOLD MORE DANGEROUS TO AN INNOCENT GIRL THAN A MORALLY BAD MAN.
 Naturally woman is able to get closer to girl. And from a sullied woman a girl will learn only the allur ing side of sin There will be nothing said concerning the woes of transgres sion There will be nothing said con- corning the awful decline and the wretched end. And hearing but the one side the girl is likely to be tempted, tainted. ruined
 The woman here referred to is not exactly q procureSS. but IN EFFECT THAT IS WHAT SHE IS. She may not literally hand the girl over to evil ways of living. Nevertheless she will damn the girl body and soul. The poison will do it's work.
 Mothers
 As you love your daughters be sure you know the sort of woman with whom she may be intimate.

PRESIDENT MET GOVERNORS.
Hold Conference for Three Days at
Washington.

Washington.-The first conference
of the governors of the states of the
American union is ended Like many
needed to reveal the epoch which the
president and the governors believe
has been made. The accomplishments
of the conference, which has been in
session at the White House for three
days, can be set forth with mathe-
results are more than ample is the
expression of President Roosevelt,
who brought it about, and of the gov
ernors who participated.
The printed records of the confer
ence, which will later be available to
every American home, will be a COM
pilation of facts, startling in their
meaning, convincing in their univer-
sal conclusion, that the states must
act and that the states and the nation
must cooperate to the end that to the
whole people of the nation may accrue
the lasting benefit of its natural re-
sources. Besides the compilation of
facts by the experts and the freely ex-
pressed opinion of the governors, the
conference leaves as its permanent
record a thousand words of "declara-
ton" Not a declaration of indie
pendence," but declaration of CO.
operation"
Perhaps greater in Importance than
all else was the determination of the
governors of the states to perfect
permanent organization whereby a
unknown organization may
be had among the executives of the
sovereign states, made strong by a
common purpose, and made potent by
announcements which may not lightly
be disregarded.
