Potato Crop Drives Farmer CT

FStato Crop Drives Farmer Crazy.
 Mena.-N. F. Bayles, Q farmer living six miles west of Mena, has been de clared insane and now is confined in the county jail preparatory to being taken to the asylum in Little Rock. It is said that he suffered a similar attack some years previous. MT. Bayles has for several years been known as one of the thoroughly pro- gressive farmers of Polk county. He has taken much interest in the annual fairs, frequently being among the successful exhibitors. A few days ago he went to Mena with lot of potatoes of remarkable size and qual- ity. He reported that from one acre on which he had used S25 worth of commercial fertilizer he had produced 265 bushels At that time potatoes were said to be bringing S140 per bushel in Kansas City, and MT. Bales felt that he had found the key to for tune for himself and all his neighbors, It Is probable that this excitement over the potato crop assisted in un- balancing the mind of the farmer.

the two boats down the river, became a mark of curiosity to hundreds or people who probably had seen it scores of times before but never had dis played any interest in the craft The Allen was the first to land and for fully an hour it was crowded to the guards with spectators curiously ex- amining it from top to bottom. Two files of people kept up steady pro cession in opposite directions across the gangplank until the Grand and Rapid landed The curiosity display ed was interpreted as indicative of the aroused interest in river transporta- tion, once the most rapid mode of travel to and from Little Rock. Speech es in honor of the occasion were made by several notable citizens among the number being Governor Donaghey. Many attempts have been made to re vive river navigation. but all have failed after a time for one reason or another, possibly the severe competi- tion of the railroads.

government engineers are now figur- ing, but the engineers of the levee dis tricts in that section are doing more than figuring, as they are preparing for immediate action. All the levees in that section of the state. as we'll as those down the Mississippi river bottoms into Louisiana, are interested in the stopping of this breach. Su- perintendent Pitcock of the peniten- tiary says the engineers easily see where the river could, in a .hort while, but through the source of Cy- press Creek, and then it would be one great rush of water down the little stream to the Mississippi, with prob. able spreading from lake to lake in that part of the state, with a later cut off to the Mississippi in Chicot county. The engineers figure an ounce or precaution is worth a ton of cure in this case, and consequently do not intend to finger long and permit the river at it's next rise to continue cut ting acres out of the sandy banks of the farm and thus soon reach Cypress Creek and it's connecting bayous.

LARGE SCHOOL Al FOR FORT SMITH

Fort Smith.-An option was secured in this city last week by J. D. Adkins of Lima, O., for the purchase of Sunny Side farm, one of the highest and most beautiful locations near this city. MT. Adkins represents syndicate of educators in Ohio and one other state who desire location for a high class normal school They recently sent him into the South in search of de- sirable location for such an educa- tional institution. After spending 3 week in this city he decided in favor of this location. The men who are interested in this project have wide experience in normal work and excel lent regulations as educators. They have for long time been looking southward for location, believing that advantages in climate would make a Southern location ideal and that students would accept an oppor- tunity to escape the rigors of a North ern winter, where equal educational opportunities were offered in a milder one.

Fragments of Fisherman Found.

Marked Tree.-Charles Miller, aged 30 years, is held in jail here charged with the murder of A. H. Flood, an aged fisherman. who lived on Hatehi- coon Island. Flood disappeared on the morning of June and has not been seen since. On the 18th Oscar Lloyd, hunter who lives on St. Fran cis lake, picked up part of leg of a human being, also a hand and a foot and identified the hand as that of Flood by marks he was familiar with. He reported his find to the officers of this place and upon inves- t1gation, Miller was arrested as the murderer and when searched, Floods vest, containing his watch and lot of valuable papers, was found on him.
 Miller denies the charge and says the vest was left hanging on the fish boat and that he had been told to keep the watch until Flood returned home from the Confederate reunion at Memphis. He says he came here on April 15 and went to work for Flood on the Friday preceding his, Floods, disap- pearance. He gave Flood S100 as puF- chase money on his outfit and on June ' he gave the remaining $125. A man by the name of Ashwood alias Horton, Is also held by the authorities here as a witness against Miller, as he seems to know considerable of the circumstances, but is thought not to have been connected with the murder.

Pine Bluff.-Owing to unexpected delays, due to the failure of the mills to turn out owodwork material on time and because of the fact that skilled workmen were not obtainable when needed, the new postoffice and federal building, nearing completion at West Second avenue and Walnut street, will not be ready for occupancy until about July 15. It was figured by the con- tractor that the building would be turned over to the government com plete by June 1. Contractor Althaus has until July 15 to finish all details at the big structure If the work is not done by that time the contractor will be required to pay Uncle Sam $40 per day for each day that the building is out of his possession.

DRAINAGE SCHEME
 IS ADVANCING

Little Rock.-The Whitney dredge boat for draining the swamps of Dark Hollow near Little Rock will start op- erations this week, unless it is found that the dipper, which has not yet been attached to the dredging appar- atus, needs repairs. The dipper will lift one and three-quariers yards of earth at load. The dredge will cut seven miles of ditch. three of main and four of lateral ditches. It is ex- pected to complete the work in six months after commencing operations. The dredge boat will work day and night, employing nine men in two shifts. A houseboat for feeding and lodging the workmen will follow the dredge. The dredge will start on an easterly line in path that has been cleared of timber. Stumps will be en- countered on the way, most of which can be lifted out by the dipper. Stumps of larger size will have to be dynamited. Sunken timber will offer a greater impediment Some of the trees are buried deep in the ground. Those that can not be hooked out by the powerful hoisting apparatus will have to be sawn in two.
