Conyicts on the Public Roads.

We believe the plans of Governor to-be Donaghey as to the state con victs will meet with almost universal approval.
 Mir. Donaghey would put an end to the contract system by which hundreds of convicts are now farned out to do railroad and other work, put half the convicts on the state farm and the rest to building good roads.
 Tt is my desire" said Mir. Dona- ghey in an interview in Wednesday, s Gazette, "to have better roads throughout Arkansas. believe that it would be practical to work a DOT ton, say one-half, of the state con victs on the roads and work the other half at the state farm. By so doing the state farm could be kept in good condition and the state would .be gaining a great deal each day in the way of building up of public roads. There are other reasons that back up my belief in this respect. In case such a measure is carried through and the convict lease system is abolished, plans could be effected for the carrying out of the road im- provement work. Certain big roads could bemapped out to be improved and the work completed on each road one after the other. 1 believe that the benefit derived from this road work would far exceed the benefit which the state is now secur- ing financially from the present convict lease system.
 If plan were drawn up for a system of state highways. good stone roads connecting the various parts of Arkansas, and part of the system were built by the labor of the con yicts, we do not believe the people would thereafter consent to permit the convicts to be used to build rail- roads. The popular cry would be Let the convicts build the peoples roads" Before the end of Cover nor Donaghey's administration he should be able to do so much actual road building that his successor could not fail to carry on the work. l-GaZette.

WILL DELAY ADJOURNMENT.
President Wants Congress to Remain
 in Session After May g.

Washington, Apr. 16.-Representa- tive Watson of Indiana who conferred with the president Tuesday night about an early adjournment of con gross, and who stated after the con ference that the president and the house was in harmonious agreement for adjourning about May 9, was sum moned by the president to conference Wednesday. MT. Watson said the president had sent for him to say that he had overlooked the fact that there would be conference of governors on May 13, and that when he had called this conference he had done so under the impression that congress would be in session. Out of courtesy to this conference, which will discuss the subject of conserving the resources of the country, especially the water ways and forests, the president thought 1t would be better for congress to remain in session few days long CT if that could properly be done. MT. Watson said he agreed with the pres ident and thought that adjournment would take place about May 16.
 MT. Watson reiterated statements made Tuesday night that the president was in hopes that certain legislation he desired would be passed. but if 1t could not be put through he would offer no obstacle to an early adjourn ment
 
 Mr Watson was asked specifically about putting wood pulp on the free list. His answer was: How will we be able to do this without precipitating tariff revision at this session of con gress? If we send free wood pulp bill to the senate the Democrats there will tack on 1000 amendments and we will be forced at once into the middle of the revision of the tariff which will keep congress here for many months longer"

 Damage Occurred In Country.

Huron, s. D., Apr. 16.-This city was entirely surrounded by prairie fires Tuesday afternoon. the smoke from which was so dense that the sun was obscured and dust and ashes were driven in clouds by the high wind.

Broadland suffered the most The Chi cago & Northwestern station house. water tank and two box cars were burned; also the Atlas Lumber yard, and Atlas elevator containing several thousand bushels of grain. The Hol- land hotel and one other house also were burned. The Great Northern bridge across the Jim river two miles northeast of this city was badly damaged. Barns, cattle sheds and thousands of tons of hay and grain were destroyed in every direc- ton. No lives are known to have been lost, but many persons were more or less burned.

Delivered the Goods.

The late Senator Nj. s, Quay. of Pennsylvania, kept all the letters his constituents wrote to him asking for favcrs, says the Saturday Evening Pest. He had stacks of them when his last great fight for the senate came along. Then he sorted out the letters. eliminating those from people who were dead and on the back of each 'etter wrote: Dear John or Bill: Do you remember when you wrote me this letter and do you remember that I did what you asked? want your help now in my fight for the senate Can have it?" The politicians in Pennsylvania say those letters mailed to the original senders with Quay's re- quest on the backs of them. had as much as any one thing to do with Quay's winning his fight.

MAN ROUGHLY TREATED.
Told of Whom He Purchased whiskey
 and Severely Beaten by Two Men.

- Prescott, April 1s,-A. H. .Tardy, prominent lumber deal CT, was assaulted here tonight by two men and beaten to inseusi. bility with rock. In moments oi consciousness he charges that one of his assailants was Joe brown, teamster, and that the other man wore mask and could not be identified. J. P. Warren, former candidate for sheriff, who was with Tardy at the time he was assaulted, and Brown nave been arrested, charged with assault with intent to kill, and their bonds have been placed at $l ,000 each.
 At hearing here yesterday to investigate the shooting of Kilk Cummings by Ben Hadley, Tardy IS said to have testified that he bought whiskey at several places and that he bought of Brown, whom he charged with being an agent for blind tiger. Shortly after nightfall tonight, Tardy claims, Warren came to the hotel where he was stopping and in- vited him to go out for a walk. When they reached lonely spot, he says, he was set upon by Brown and a masked man, and the beating followed. He charges that while the two men beat him, Warren stood by and refused to aid him, although asked. Warren denies this part of the story.

POSTMASTER AT RANGER IS LOST
W. M. Rogers, Prominent Centerville Merchant, Missing Since Last Thursday When Last Seen
 Had $500 or More.

Centerville, April Is. ". M Rogers, postmaster of Ranger and a prominent merchant of this city, has mysteriously disappeared. He was last seen one week ago to- morrow when he was on a fishing trip with several friends. Sever al theories are advanc.d as to the cause of his sudden disappear. ance, one of which is to the effect that he was robbed, as he was known 10 have had large sum of money on his person at the time he was last seen and then killed and possibly thrown into the river.
 One week ago tomorrow Mir. Rogers, together with two of his friends went up the Petit Jean riv- CT on a fishing trip. After the party had landed at a certain point MT. Rogers stated that he beleived he would go on up the river bout half mile. He has pever been seen by any one in this vicinity since then.
 The remainder of the fishing party, after waiting some time for MT. Rogers. started up the river searching for him. Unable to fad him after an extended search they returned to Center vile, where the authorities were notified of MT. Rogers disappear ance. Friday and Saturday sew eral posses searched up and down the river for traces of the missing man but none was found.
 Two theories are advanced as to the cause of MT. Rogers sud- den disappearance. One is to the effect that he may have drowned in the river. Another is to the effect that he may have been robbed, killed and bis body thrown into the river or hidden somewhere. When he left his fishing party he was known to have had about $500 on his per son. He left the postoffice at Ranger about II a. nl., the morn ing he went fishing and before he left the office received several pieces of mail, opened them and put them in his pocket.
 MT. Rogers was about 30 years old and had a wife and two chill dren.

W. C. I. U. COLUMN.
Catherine B. Johnson, Press supt.,

Catherine B. Johnson, Press Supt)
 Tuesday afternooh, April IA, the w. c. T. U. met at the home of Mrs. Hyles. The president, Mrs. Kelly, being absent, Mrs. 0lney led the devotional services, after which Mrs. Legate gave accounts of the success of prohibition in the United States, especially the good results that are being realized in the prohi- states, in the way of empty jails, the lesseEing of the police force, etc.
 Mrs. Knight made very impress i've talk on Shall Arkansas Enter Victory's Gate in 1908?" emphasiz- ing the duty of the christian voters. Mrs. Markwell, the state president, in her address at the Twepty-ninth annual session of the w. c. T. U., held at Jonesboro, October 24-27, said, "Oh, if every christian voter could see that his duty to God and man is at the ballot box; that he has no right to prayIfor his country and, at the same time. go to the polls and vote for the saloon. Every christian voter should ask himself two ques- tions and answer them onlhis knees; first, Is the saloon a part of my political assets?' second, Am 1 vote ing as Jesus would vote?'" This fall will be a time when the voters will again decide this question for Arkansas, and with about 59 counties already with prohibition law in force. Arkansas is preparing to throw off the shackles of slavery to this evil, and come forth free state.
 We make the appeal for special and earnest effort on the part of all christian people. God alone knows the good that has been done by the w. c. T. U; in many homes, through it's influence, the bible has taken the place of the whiskey bottle, and family devotions the place of the drunken brawls. Many homes have been changed in outward purpose and inward life.
 We are now comparatively well organized at this place and hope to do much in the way of bringing Ar kansas into the prohibition ranks in the fall of 1908. Let us each from this day forth, until prohibition is a reality, feel our responsibility for its success.
 The whole spirit of the meeting was harmonious and lovely and we feel the meeting did all present great good and that each member took to her home much that will be inspir- ing and helpful for the work of this year. After the meeting adjourned a social hour was enjoyed and dainty refreshments were served. which was a pleasant feature of the after noon.

Bad Little Runaway.

H. z. Fowler, who lives just at the northeast corporation limits of Mena, left his horse, attached to light runabout, iu front of the City Meat Market Wednes- day. The animal, apparently. de- cided to go home, and started at a lively clip. Just across the track the vehicle collided with a telegraph pole and it and most of the harness remained right here, though badly demoralized.
 The horse was not injured and was caught within few blocks.

REINACH KILLING
 CAUSES SENSATION
Fort Smith Agog Over Death of Rail. road Official Coroner's Jury Recommends Schlenker's
 Arrest.

Fort Smith, April l4.-At a corouer's inquest held today over the body of Jacob L., Reinsch, former commercial agent here for the Frisco railroad, who was shot aud killed Monday night by Leon Schlenker of this city, at the close of call Reinach had been paying to Schlenker's wife. the coroner's jury, after examining a plumber of witnesses, returned a verdict to the effect that Reinach came to his death at the hands of Schlenkcr and recommended that Schlenker be held over to- the grand jury.
 Justice of the Peace sEdmonson immediately issued warrant for Schlepker's arrest. Schlenker was taken into custody and will be held until Thursday morning, when he will be given prelimiu- ary hearing.
 The entire city of Fort Smith is greatly excited over the killing of Reinach, who was prominent mot only in Fort Smith. but throughout thls part of the country. Nothing oi the kind has happened in the city in years that has caused as much excite ment as the shooting of Reinach. Specula tion as to how the killing occurred is rife and various rumors are out.
 No Convincing Evidence.
 Nothing in the way of authen- tic evidence was brought out at the inquest today to dlsprove the story of the shooting that has been told by both Schlenker and his wife. Harry Phillips, wbo was the first ne'ghbor 10 reach the Schlenker home after the kill ing, testified that he found Rein ach's body lying on tue porch of the Schlenker home with the feet nearest the open door. Dr. Laws described the wound. He stated that it was a wound fired at so close range that the skin was powder-burucd. The bulle | struck Reinach in the back of the head just back of the left ear, passing entirely through the brain and out the right eye. One witness caused a sensation by swearing that he had played pool with Reinach until 10:30 o'clock last night, but his testimony was killed by the statement of the proprietor of the pool hall at which the witness claimed to have been playing, who said that his place was closed at 3 o'clock. Witnesses testified that the found blood on rug in the Schlenker hOme.
