Wofk done by the free labor and that oi the convicts, Mr Waterman over heard a convict on the levee telling 2
 'iee Iaborer You must work for Dodse X Co.,, made applicable no oouDt by the free laborer's easy way Of doing things.
 The planters below the State Farm ald not seem to apprehend any dan ger Whatever; they did not take their hands up to the weak points and went on blowing as though there was not particle of danger. Fortunate that they felt that way about it.
 Indications at this writing are that the renewed rise at Fort Smith will not amount to much, as the river is reported falling again Sunday morn lns' and if the Mississippi continues to fall We might possibly yet shake hands With ourselves.

STATE FARM LEVEES
 ARE ALL o. K.

Supt. !. \. Pitcock. of the peniten- tiary, has returned from a trip to the state farm, which was threatened bv the Arkansas river flood. Mir. Pit cock reports that the state farm leyee is out of danger, but states that seep- age has made it impossible to culti- vate part of the state farm. The damage cannot be estimated at pres ent. The damage from the seep water will depend largely upon the length of time that it remains on the surface of the earth.
 MT. Pitcock stated that, i'll his opin- ion, had it been for the convicts at the state farm, the entire district at that point would have been flooded. The leyee on the Willie plantation just above the state farm. was in such that when the time the wa ter was at it's highest stage it was found necessary to send number of convicts to strengthen it. Had the levee broken the entire district below would have been hooded.--Lfttie Rock Gazette

NO UNEASINESS
 FELT AROUND DUMAS

Gus Waterman returned from the State Farm early Sunday morning and reports conditions along the levee in very good shape, says the Dumas News. Vigilance had by no means been abandoned, and two weak spots ln the levee are receiving constant at tention. More sacks were ordered down and these places will be care fully watched until the river begins to fall.
 TO the energies and constant watch fulness of Messrs. w. R. Kirby of Warner, Warden McCook of the State Farm, and J. H. Hellums of Grady, the thanks of the people in the entire district are due for the great amount of work that was accomplished. Mr Kirby was particularly energetic; he left his home and stayed with the ed also by C. C. Price, engineer for the 1evee district, and Grover Ellington of Dumas, who was in charge of a squad of free laborers that he had '.aken from this place.
 Gus Waterman left his work here and spent as much of his time as he could on the front. He said, If it had not been for the convict labor the great amount of work that was done COuld never have been accOmDliSheQ. Noting the difference between the

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deaf ness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lin- ing of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infamed you have rum bling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the infiamma- ton can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hear ing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an infiamed con- dition of the mucous surfaces.
 We~will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circu- lars, free

TRAVELLING MEN WANT
 LONGER BED SHEETS

Seattle, June 12--Nine foot bed sheets in country hotels is to be the battle cry of the commercial travellers of Washington from now until after the next session of the legislature. The commercial travellers met last night and decided with loud acclaim to petition the next legislature to pass q law making it mandatory upon landlords to provide covering of sufIi- cient length to make it possible to keep feet from protruding into the cold atmosphere.
 Many ringing addresses were made by the commercial men in favor of the desired law and many heart rem derlng experiences related of night long attempts to coil into such posi- tion that the entire person bo pro tected from cold blasts percolating through sieve like walls of country taverns. The travelling men are strong and popular and believe their bill will go through the logisl lature with whoop.

Billek accepted this new phase to his fortunes without comment and re-entered his cell without change in his customary disinterested demeaner.
 Billek's lawyer will take an appeal to the United States supreme court, and it was to permit this that the re- prieve was granted.

STOCKHOLDERS ARE'
 AGAINST BALLA|NE
Many Hard Names Applied to Promoter of Alaska
 Central Railroad.

Seattle, June 15-At the annual meeting of stockholders of the Alaska Central Railroad last Saturday after noon President Frost was sustained over John E. Ballaine by large > majority of the stockholders. Frost and Ballaine each denounced the other as liar and personal encoun- ter was prevented by other stockhol- ders. Ex-Senator Turner of Spokane . asserted that Ballaine was a rattle snake, liar and scoundrel.
 On motion of Turner d committee was appointed to confer with the Seattle chamber of commerce and secure it's assistance to end the re- ceivership, which was characterized by Frost as a Ballaine fraud.
 Ballaine asserts that he is backed i'll the receiyership matter by the holders of nearly all the bonds of the railroad and that they demand the receivership to protect their interests against Frost, whom he charges with everlasting the bonded limit, with using money obtained from the sale of railroad bonds for schemes of. his own, and other crooked financing. He says Frost is "a Cassie Chadwick, in finance and that he is hopelessly bankrupt.
 It was such charges as these made to Frost's face in the stockholders meeting that nearly led to riot. Ballaine and Frost were both wild with anger and hurled epithets at each other while kept apart by force.
 Ballaine says Turner, Laberee and the rest of the Spokane crowd have no interest in the Alaska Central ex- cept block of stock which they re- ceived as commissions for services at the time the Frost syndicate took over the road four years ago. He asserts they have never put up dol lar.

WOMAN KILLS HER
 DRUNKEN HUSBAND

Bellingham, June 17-Frank Eggles- ton, a shingle-mill owner was shot and instantly killed by his wife here last night. Eggleston returned home intoxicated and began to abuse his two little children and when Mrs. Eggleston remonstrated with him he seized rifle and attempted to shoot her.

Finally she obtair ed possession of revolver he was carrying in his pocket and realizing that it was his life or that of her babies and her own she pushed the frenzied man from her and shot him through the heart.
 Mrs. Eggleston was arrested but as the condition of the house is mute corroboration of her story, and as friends of Eggleston saw him in q drunken condition before he went home, there is no doubt but the woman will be exorerated by the cororner's jury.

ALASKA CENTRAL ROW
 MUST WAIT FOR JUDGE

Seattle, June 16-Not until the last of July will Judge Reid of the Third Judicial division of Alaska dip deeper into the Alaska Central row. Judge Reid arrived in this city last night and today announced that he will not consider the receivership outside of his district. He will depart shortly for the east and will return to Fair. banks July 27.
 Since the memorable meeting of Saturday, the opposing forces of the Alaska Central management have been lying on their arms, both fac tions hoping that Judge Reid would consent to hearing of the troubles before departure for the east, and possibly render some decision that would settle matters, at least to such an extent as to permit resumption of work.
 MT. Ballaine called on Judge Reid and attempted to discuss the Alaska Central affair but he was politely in- formed that while Judge Reid was pleased to see him socially Judge Reid did not care to discuss matters pending in court.
 In an interview, Judge Reid among other things says that while he is pleased with Alaska he does not care Go live there continuously.
