OKLAHOMA LAW HELD VOID
Judge R. H. Wells Rules the Act Is Unconstitutional Because 1t Treats
 of Several Subjects.

Coalgate, Ok, Aug. 1.-The Oklahoma prohibition and liquor dispensary law, known as the Bilup's bill, was declared uncon- stitutional today by Judge H. K. Wells following the conclusiou of a trial involving a violation of the prohibition law.
 The constitution provides spe- officially that each law enacted by the legislature shall treat of only one subject, and the Bilup's bill is held unconstitutional because it treats of several subjects, Judge Wells also holds that the search and seizure clause IS not clearly expressed in the laws ti- tie, as is necessary to make the act valid.

FINDS NO PLACE LIKE MENA.
John Thompson's Western Trip Makes
 Him Long for Home.

Under date of August 9. at Denver, John Thompson, who IS returning from long trip to California and far western points, writes;
 "I have just returned from my trip up the coast and can honest ly say l have seen no place bet ter nor in my estimation near so good as Mena. It is said that two-thirds of the people here live on scenery, but 1t is no nicer than that around dear old Mena, and as for climate ani water, l found none near so good.
 If Mena was advertised oue- fourth as much as any part of Colorado or California, our peo- pie would not know where to put the people that would come. There is nothing in this country that gets the people out like ad- vertislug.
 II have seen more idle labor in San Francisco, Salt Lake City and Los Angeles than have seen anywhere in the East.
 "The things you will find in plenty are fleas and mosquitoes. The people tell me they get used to tbem, but how l did scratch and slap. But out here ever yone, even down to 4-year-old boys and girls, are pulling for their coun- try. If we could do likewise, what place we would have !
 Living is very high here. The people of Mena are blessed, and should be most happy and con- tented.
 "You may rest assured will be glad to get back home again.

when he did not believe them able to stand the trip.
 h defense of his general record Judge Pickett pointed out the facts that when he took charge of the county in 1904 scrip was worth 20 aud 25 cents and 1t had debt of S31,77l. That he had built four steel bridges, several oi concrete, purchased, improved and maintained a poor farm, spent thousands of dollars on the court house and jail property, and h spite of the charges of corruption by Mr. Adams he had raised scrip to 90 and 95 cents and at the July settlement the county's debt was just $202.0e
 Both candidates were given a respectful hearing, although an other stormy incident took place when during Mir. Adams rejoin- der Judge Kelly asked him If he would have sent Mrs. Atwell and MT. Field to the poor farm, Mr. Adams replied that he did not use any nanes or know the cir. cumstances, and Judge Kelly told hlm that If he would s, nd such contagious diseases there he was not ht to be county judge. Other words passed in quick succession and MT. Sharp rose and objected to the interruption and the two gray haired men closed in, glar- ing hard at each other.
 For moment it looked as if there might be trouble, but the threatened storm passed and to MT. Sharp's query as to when the meeting was going to close, MT. Adams replied that he thought It was about time and those who had remained after Judge Prickett closed his speech quickly filed out into the cool night air. Many had left as soon as Judge Prickett closed his talk.

TIE NAMING OF THE
 NATIONAL FORESTS
Titles Not Given in Haphazard Fashion but Chosen on Account of Im- portance in Local
 History.

The changes of uanie which the national forests underwent in the process of redistricting just completed, were by no means haphazard or arbitrary. Tine ne " names have been chosen on ac- count of their importance Id local and national history, and they will serve for ali time as remind. CTS of the men and events charac- teristic of our progress from the pioneer days. Merely 10 read them IS to trace the salient facts of western growth and develop. meut.
 The national forests in Arkan- sas, with the significance aud de- rivation of tlclr names are as follows:
 The Arkansas, which IS the farthes. east national forest, de rives it's name from the state. The meaning of the word is un known, but it is Of Siouan origin and has no connection with the French "arc,n as has been as serted. Marquette and other French explorers wrote the word "Arkausas" and "Arkausea."
 The Ozark national forest de- rives its name from the Ozark mountains in Arkansas and Mis- souri. The Aux Arcs were said to refer to the bends in the White river, and applied to the Ozark mountains, through which the river pursues wandering course; in other words, the mountains al the bend of the river.
 As new forests are created 1t IS the intention of the forest service to name them so as to perpetuate the names of men and events prominently connected with tke history and development of the western country.

ITALIAN CONSUL AND CARMEN RIOT
Count Morani at Van Buren. .Investigat- ing lnjuring of Italian Strike Breakers International Com.
 pliCations Threatened.

Van Burep, Aug. 11.-Couut Z. Moraui, chief consul for the Italian government in the United States, arrived in the city this morning from New Orleans aud spent the greater part of the day Tn the office of Superinteude nt Murphy of the Iron Mountain, gathering facts concerning the mobb1ng of the strike-breaking Italian laborers brought to Van Buren last June by the Iron Mountain to supplant the strik- ing carmen here.
 1t will be remembered that a mob of blacks and whites went to the yards where the Italians were quartered in bunk cars and opened fire upon them, slightly woundiug number of the Ital- ians. The visit of Count Morani at this time was to gather such evidence as his government would need in presenting their claim at Washington for damages. The count before leaving secured all the names of the men incicted for participating n the riot.
 It has been feared by the rail- way officials and many citizens here that interna tional complica- tions would arise from the affair, and tue visit of a representative of the Italian government at this time shows that their fears art well founded.

THE BARBECUE AT GRANNIS.
Plenty of Good Things to Eat, Politics
 and Amusemeuts.

The barbecue and picnic here last Wednesday was great suc- cess. It was held in the grove iast south of town, many people were here and Grannis did her self proud.
 The entertainment b e 2 a Il promptly at 9:30 o'clock, when 0. l.. Gregg, who was master of ceremonies, rapped for order and called on John P. Logan to deliy- CT an address ol welcome. Prayer was offered by E. Youmans, after which the choir sang America. The balance of the forenoon was taken up in a poli- tical discussion between J. G. Adams and Judge Prickett, can- didates for county judge. The discussion was spirited and at times warm. Many charges were made against Judge w. Prickett by J. c. Adams, but the judge seemed to explain his actions and record as county judge to the sat isfaction of bis many friends.
 
 At o'clock the audience was treated to a cornet solo by Mir. Michelon, after which the Demo- cratic candidate for assessor, Freeman Johnson, and MT. Green, the Democratic candidate for circuit clerk, made announce meuts; as did also F. NJ. Reeves, Republican candidate for circuit clerk. John P. Logan, the Dem. ocratic nominee for senator, and George Legate, the Republican nominee, spoke. They were each allowed 45 minutes. Mir. Logan opened with a 30 minute talk, giving an account of his record Tor the four years that he was in the senate. He called at. tention to Legate's record, citing from the record where he voted for the extra state house appro priatiou, and his failure 10 vote on the Farmers Union bill, the Moore Heartsill anti. bucket shop bill to prevent gambling in cot ton futures. His arraignment of MT. Legate was at times caustic. He called upon MT. Legate to point to one thing that he did while he was ia the senate that was to the interest of the people. MT. Legate followed, but instead of showing the people what be dld that was to their interest, took most of the time reading ex- tracts from papers published in Little Rock in his interest. The people listened in vain for him to DO nt to anything that he did for their interest while in the senate.
 After the candidates finished speaking, the amusement fea- lures were pulled off.
 There was plenty of the finest kind of barbecued beef, mutton and pork, and everybody went away satisfied, siuging the praises Of Granuis and the entertainment.
 We were glad to have the peo- pie with Us and hope next year they will come again, only la much larger numbers, as we can care for as many as would come.
