No seed will be sold by the state until 200 tons have been stored for seed for the next crop, after which the seed will be sold off as rapidly as it is einned. The price paid for the cot ton yesterday is better than it shows on the face, as it was sold f. o. b. at Cummins landing, and not delivered in this city.

PITTSBURG WINS FIRST

Little Rock, Oct. 9.-A more deso- late lot of fans could not have been iound in any part of the United States Una nthose in Little Rock were yester- day afternoon when the news flashed over the wires stating Pittsburg had taken the first of the worlds series from Detroit by a score of to 1. Nine put of every ten persons in Arkansas

Whatever wagers were made in this section have been with Detroit as the favorite, and those who have been holding money for no takers on the Detroit end have missed a healthy field by not invading Ar kansas with their long green.

FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP.

Little Rock, Oct. 9.-To settle the football championship of Little Rock, the football eevens of the Little Rock l;gh school and Little Rock college are neuting this afternoon at West End park, and as both are evenly matched, a game worth going miles to witness is expected. The high school team has oeen practcing daily at the old Glen wood park on South Main street, and yesterday afternoon an anxious par ent of member of the team went out to witness the practice. He was hor- rifed to find the vacant lots covered with rocks ranging in size from that # marble to boulders. He notified 1tker parents and subscription was ,tarted right there which resulted in
 he employment of negroes to rake the field and take from it every rock, big 8r small. There are now no more anxious parents, but the players long tor the bumps in the ground every time they are tackled.

stated that work on the $50 ,000 build ing as provided for by the last legis-
 lature would probably commence in the spring. The state treasury is not now in a condition to pay out the money, so the commissioners have to raise it in some other manner, just how they do not care to divulge at the present time. The legislatuer made an appropriation of $20,000 per year for the maintenance of the institution, and by the time the handsome edifice is erected on the mountain overlooking the beautiful Petit Jean valley and Point Comfort, the fine Hereford cat tie ranch of Col. o. L. Miles, this ap- propriation will be available. A con- mittee of citizens represented Boone vile before the board and offered any thing the memebrs asked for, all they wanted being the institution, and they succeeded in landing it.

FAULKNER FAIR ASSOCIATION TALKS
 1OF A GREATER FAIR FOR NEXT YEAR

Several of the directors of the Faulkner County Fair Association met last night and discussed in a gen. eral way the outcome of the recent fair. Until all the outstanding ac- counts have been received it will be impossible to learn the financial re- suits of the fair, but the indications are that the profits to the association will amount to 10 or possibly 15 per cent of the paid-in capital stock. In preparing for the fair, however, the association was forced to expend about $1 ,000 more than the capital stock for buildings, fencing, race track and other permanent improvements, and the profits this year will probably be applied to this debt.
 The fair officials are in favor of in- creasing the capital stock sufficiently to pay off the remainder of the in- debtedness and to make the enlarge ments of the grandstand, exhibit hall, stalls, etc, which the fair this year has shown to be necessary. It is prob able that stockholders meeting to consider this proposition will be called in the near future.

Little Rock, Oct. 9.-Booneville gets the Arkansas tuberculosis sanitarium. This was decided by the trustees of the institution yesterday afternoon in accepting the proposition of the peo- pie of Bonneville. The proposition was to give anything the board desired. In this manner Womble, the only contest ant with Bonneville, was distanced. The people of Bonneville give 1000 acres of land on the mountain just across the Petit Jean from Bonneville, build road from the town to the site, and a bridge across the Petit Jean. The board thought this location was by far the best on account of it's access sibility and the elevation of the site offered. The people of Bonneville are immediately to secure deed to the property and deliver it to the board.
