THE HARDWOOD SHORTAGE
Samuel J. Record Addressed the Ark ansas Hardwood Lumbermen's As-
 sociation at Little Rock.

Samuel J. Record, supervisor of the Arkansas National Forest, with headquarters in Mena, re- returned yesterday from Little Rock, where he went to address the Arkansas Hardwood Lumber mems Association, which held it's semi-annual session at that place September 2. Mr. Records sub ject was, "The hardwood short age and how to prevent it." He showed that there are now ia the forest reservations of the United States total of approximately l65 million acres of land. He went extensively into the purpose of the forestry service, which, he declared, is for the preservation of the timber supply, to the end that the country may not some day find itself barren of this great resource. He advocated the measures applied by the fed eral government, as the most log ical for this end; the careful pro- tection of the forests; preserva- tion from fires; cutting out of mature timber and culls, leaving the young, we'll developed timber to supply the second cutting, etc. la closing he declared that he be- lleved the day of the small inde- pendent factory is passed, and that either manufacturing on large scale, or through systematic organization, where the waste may be reduced to tue minimum and the forest be most carefully preserved, will be the final solu- tion of the problem of timber preservation.
 Louis Doster, secretary of the Hardwood Manufacturing Asso- citation of the United States, also addressed the meeting. Mir. Record was made honorary nem- Der of the Arkansas organization. l.. Liplman and George Hayes, respectively president and secre- tary, were reelected.

SAYS HUSBAND WAS
 BAD CHARACTER
Mrs. Pickett Accuses Man She Says She Killed of Murders in Missis- sippi Three Years Ago-Step-
 father Implicated.

Joneshoro, Ark, Sept. 3.-Ii the story related by Mrs. Arch Pickett is true, her husband, who was murded Monday evening, was noted despersdo of Corinth, Miss, who had been living here under an assumed name,
 She says that he has often boasted of his desperate charac- ter, especially when drunk, and she stood in awe of him as he was disposed to abuse her.
 It is alleged by Mrs. Pickett that her husband lived in Cor inth, Miss three years ago and that he there shot aud killed a man who was flirting with for mer wife; also shot his wife who dropped her babe, cr;ppliug it for life. This wife and child are now living in Corinth, but she has secured a divorce.
 After shooting his wife, accord ing to the story, Pickett is said to have told his second wife that the mother of his former wife entered the room aud he shot her dead.
 While being arrested for these crimes he shot and seriously wounded the sheriff, and when lodged in jail he slashea negro trusty with knife.
 He was then adjudged insane and sent to an asylum, where he remained until he came to this city, where he subst quently married q stepdaughter of M. K. Gregson.
 The killing of Pickett has caused a great sensation. The corouer's jury has held Gregson on a charge of complicity in the murder and released him on S5. GOO bond, aud Mrs. Pickett IS held as an accessory.
 Though Mrs. Pickett strongly asserts that she did the shoo ing in order to pratect her aged step father from her husband, the cor oner's Jury yesterday afterr non returned a verdict that tive, the iury, having been duly sworn do find that Arch Pickett, decea ed, came to his death by a pistol shot in his heart at the hands ot F. M :. Gregson Monday afternoon, and that Annie Pickett is an acces- sory to the killing; therefore, we recommend that the two be held to await the action of the grand jury"
 Witnesses testified that when the shot was fired Mrs. Pickett was running toward the buggy on the other side of the house from where her husband was killed.

Special Committee of Fort Smiths City Council Makes Report on Paw ing Material Which Causes
 a Stir.

Fort Smith, Sept. LA spec ial meeting of the c,ty counci was held this evening, at which a report was submitted by a spec. lal committee appointed to test the brick being used in the i'm provement district. The report showed that the bricks were not up to requirements, and various measures of a radical character were suggested.
 The report was referred to the board of improvement, which has the improvement work in charge here, wi.h instructions to at once take measures to have the con tract complied with. The brick are manufactured here at the Burke brick plant.
 A resolution was offered to en- join the board of improvement, but was lost. It was also stated by the former brick inspector, who is also an alderman, that the city would lose $325, 900 by the brick now being used, as they would not wear ten years, while the contract calls for brick that will wear twenty years.

 Tariff.
 "The Republican idea for a high tariff schedule was defend. ed long time upon the theory that It was right for this govern. ment to protect its infant mauu- featuring industries against for eigu competition. Those infants under the fostering care of laws enacted by the Republican party have grown to be such giants that Republicans can no longer successfully appeal to the sym pathy or patriotism of the Ameri- can Tn their behalf and now un- dertake to defend the system upon the idea that is necessary for the protection of the men who labor in the factories.
 The favored interests pretend that the great protection is neces- sary to compensate them for higher wages paid their work men as compared to foreign manufacturers. The Republican party passed the Dingley tariff law under the preterse of benefit ting the laborers, but in reality it was passed as a reward to the m nufacturirg interests for their contribution to the Republican fund Tn 1896.
