All day long these fellows told their
story, their voices raucous from the
strain, climbing to a shrek and then
dropping to a monotone of patient en-
treaty. They live hard and profit comes
only in fierce competition with their
fellows. 1t is an interesting battle of
wits, lung power and staying qualities
between these bankers at the side
shows that travel with state fairs.

GREER STAYS
 BEHIND BARS

Little Rock, Sept. 26.-Until Monday afternoon at o'clock, at least, w. L. Greer, who Thursday afternoon stabbed with paper knife and killed J. w. Reneau over a collection Greer was en- deavoring to make, will have to remain in the county jail, bond be- ing denied him. Greer asked for a preliminary hearing yesterday morning, and it was given him, but Judge Frank Martin, before whom 1t was held, refused to grant the petition for bond and held Greer to the grand jury on a charge of murder in the first de- gree. Lewis Rhoton then called on Judge E. w. Winfield in the afternoon, prepared to make fight for a writ of habeas corpus, but Judge Winfield, who presides over the civil branch of the circuit court, announced the case belonged in the criminal division, presided over by Judge R. J. Lea, and ln the absence of that judge, he would not take a hand in the matter, es- pecially as court opens next Mon day, when the grand jury will con- vene, and the matter can be laid before Judge Lea then.
 Reneau, who was murdered by Greer, was very popular railroad man, and it is understood that the railroad men of the city, who are all sworn enemies of Greer, are raising a large sum with the inten- tion of securing the aid of Senator Jeff Davis in the prosecution.

In the enhancement of real es- tate values the State Normal school has already repaid to the people of Conway the cost of its location here, and the real benefits of the institution are yet to come. Six hundred thousand dollars IS a low estimate of the actual value o1 real estate in Conway. Ten per cent is low estimate of the in crease in the value of Conway real estate during the past twelve months-twenty-fve per cent is nearer the mark. The cost of se- curing the Normal was, in round numbers, $6o, GOO. Figure 1t out for yourself.

FROM THE
 CAPITAL CITY

Little Rock, Sept. 2S.-Both branches of the circuit court opened this morning and the First division, where all criminal mat ters are tried, starts off with rush.
 Judge R. ]. Lea just before noon charged the grand jury, which will not have any poodle cases to look after, but will pass upon two of the biggest murder cases ever coming in one term of court here. These are the cases of Charles R. Parsel, who shot and killed Leon s. Ehrenberg, his former business partner several weeks ago, and w.. l.. Greer, who last week stabbed to death J. w. Reneau, an Iron Mountain brakeman. Judge Lea will this afternoon take up the habeas corpus proceedings by which Lewis Rhoten, attorney for Greer, hopes to get him admitted to bail. On account of the prom thence of Parsel and Ehrenberg, this case will be contested on ev- cry point. Greer, who was a col lector of bad debts, and killed Reneau over an old account, has the backing of the majority of the Little Rock business men, and if Judge Lea decides to allow him bond, he will have no trouble in making it, no matter how great the amount. With Senator Davis assisting in the prosecution of Greer, and Lewis Rhoton defend ing him, lively times in the court are promised.

 cratic Convention.
Strenuously Denies Hearst Charges, but Quits Position for the Good of the
 Party N

Chicago, Sept. 25.- Gov. Chas. N. Haskell at midnight tonight resigned as treasurer of the Demo cratic National Committee. His resignation was announced by him self in three hours after his arrlv- al in Chicago from Guthrie, Okla. and after he had conferred with Of fcials of the Democratic national headquarters.

 The Resignation.
 The resignation of Governor Haskell as forwarded to Chairman Mack tonight, reads:

 man Democratic National Com
 mittee, New York.
 My Dear Sir: In pursuance of information as to your date for re- turn here, when I went home before I assumed I would find you here upon my return today. l now learn that you will be detained in the East until Tuesday, and, as must be home Monday, I leave tomorrow.
 "Since the President and his cabinet have joined forces with MT. Hearst and three Wall Street brok- CTS to make a personal fight against me, notwithstanding the president in his answer to MT. Bryan aban- doned his charges about Ohio Standard Oil cases, yet by all the means at the command of the government and the millions of Hearst and Wall Street allies, they persist in vicious, unwarranted and untruthful attacks on me-person- ally, I welcome their attacks-and shall meet 1t with all the vigor at my command. 1 shall treat them all as private citizens and subject to the penalties of the law which they merit.
 "In this I know I shall have the aid of my neighbors at home for all proper purposes; but my time must be free from other de- mands here. Again my heart is full of hope of the election of Bry- an and Kern. Honest govern ment and rule by the people is at stake. Important beyond any bat tie in the last generation, is the pending contest. would not, for one moment, consider remain ing in any way connected with the committee, therefore, 1 hereby tender my resignation as treasurer of the Democratic National Com mittee, that not the slightest con- test of my own could be used in any way by the president to cloud the sky and shield our opponents from discussing the real issues and laying bare the Republican dupli- city to the people.
 "Sincerely yours,

Stand ridge is the most desperate man ever in the penitentiary walls. He was originally sent to the penl- tentiary for assault with intent to kill, but escaped from the rock crusher, made his way back to Newton county and killed man and woman by the name of Over turf, before being recaptured. He has since been in solitary conhne- ment in the penitentiary, but twice came near digging out of his cell. He had brick in sack to use in fighting his way to liberty, had he gained the corridor of the old penitentiary building. Stand ridge, soon after his arrest for the double murder, attempted suicide by trying to shove into his neck the razor with which a convict was shaving him.

Negro Woman a Pensioner.

Auditor A. E. Moore is up against a proposition. The law says the wife of Confederate pen sioner can draw the pension even after the death of the pensioner, with the presentation of the proper affidavits. Some time ago pen sion was allowed to Jacob Schibb of Lafayette county. He drew the pension until his death and a war rant was issued for his wife, when Auditor Moore discovered that she was a negress and held it up. The woman claims Schibb had negro blood in his veins, and she was legally married Ito him, and if she makes this proof, Auditor Moore will have no recourse but to allow the claim of the woman and pay her the account owed her by the state,

All devices and schemes resorted to by the police of Little Rock to keep tab on those who should pay license to the city, fail nine months of the year and the city is beaten out of much revenue, but on circus day the police always recover con siderable of the lost ground. This brings out the many carriages up- on which no license has been paid, and Saturday was no exception to the rule, three cab drivers being hauled to the city jail to pay fines this morning, while eight people who were running restaurants without license, were caught at the same time, and paid S4 each in the police court this morning.
 James A. Pitcock, superintend- ent of the Arkansas penitentiary, left this morning for the state farm, to see how thes cotton picking is getting on there. He did not take any convicts with him, saving those now in the walls until more are brought in. Superintendent Pitcock will ask the next legisla- ture tor some better means ot iden- tifcation than are now used at the penitentiary. He will ask for an appropriation for the installation of Bertillion system, with pho tograph outfit in connection. The Arkansas penitentiary is about the only one in the United States which is now without such mod ern methods of identification.
