TWO MINUTE TITLE TALKS
The Old Way vs. the New.

In former days there was no safe method of ever being sure about titles to lands.
 If you got anxious about your title you went to the courthouse.
 The clerk would make the search as best he could. He would take such records as he might choose and look page by page for the old deeds to your land. He could never know when his task was done. In the end you got very weak assurance.
 Now, it is different.
 The abstracter has stepped in and prepared marvelously ac- curate index-that reveals the true condition of every tract.
 It is no longer guesswork; but absolute knowledge. B AHNER & CONTAIN Abstracters Conway, Ark.

AT SUMMER CAPITAL
President Has important Off.
ciaI Matters Before Him.

In States SoIldly Democratic He viii
Divide Appointments Of Census su-
pervisors Equally Between Demo-
Gratis and Republicans-No Judges
For Customs court-Secretary Mac
Veagh to Select Experts For Tariff
Commission.
President Taft has several matters
of Official business before him at his
summer home at Beverly, Mass, dur
ing the week He is going to take up
and dispose of the matter of census
supervisors throughout the entire Uni
ted States. The secretary of COM
merce and labor, Mr.. Nagel, and the
director of census, Mr.. Durand, are
coming to Beverly the later part OF
the week, bringing with them a llst
of names of formidable length.
The president has fixed finally up
on the policy he will follow with ref
rrence to census appointments in the
South. In the states which are solid
" Democratic the president will divide
the appointments equally among Dem
ocrats and Republicans. He Will in
sist that the appointees shall not be
active partisans, however, but capable
men.
From the so-called solid South
the president has picked out North
Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky and
Missouri as debatable states and will
treat them on the same footing as
Northern states, giving all of the cen
sus Jobs to Republicans.
The states where the division be-
tween Democrats and Republicans
will be made are Virginia, South Car
olina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Miss
issippi, Arkansas, Louisiana and
Texas.
The president definitely has decided
that he will not make any appoint
ments to the bench of the customs
court provided for in the new tariff
bill. While authorizing the court, con-
gress failed to make an appropriation
for the Judges or any otner officials.
If the president should appoint judges
under present conditions, he would
have to fix their salaries. This he does
not wish to do He believes that in
both the senate and house the mem
bers should have the right to express
by vote their preferences in the
matter. AS to the objection that a
$4,000 salary would give the customs
Judges a greater compensation than
that enjoyed by the United States
Corcuit Court judges, the president is
said to feel that the higher figures
should prevail in both cases.
Mr.. Taft has turned the task oil

BROKEN SPADE CLUE
Autopsy Shows Schumacher Girl
Was Choked and Beaten Dead.

Body Was In a Terrible Condition and
Indicated That It Had Been Dragged
Some Distance Before It Was Par
TALLY Buried Back of an Old Ice
House In the Cemetery In Part
Seldom Visited-search Lasted Two
Nights and Day.
Rochester, Aug. 10.-That Anna
Schumacher, the 17-year-old girl whose
body was found crudely buried in
Holy Sepulcher cemetery, was
choked and beaten to death after be-
ing criminally assaulted, is the conclu-
sion based on the autopsy held by Cor
oner Henry Kleindienst, but many Of
the circumstances of the crime, even
to the exact place where it was COM
mitted, can still be only guessed at.
Although the authorities believe they
have a clue to the murder, namely, a
broken spade found near the scene,
who is guilty of the crime Is matter
Of speculation of the vaguest sort.
Suspect Made His Escape.
The strange actions of man discov-
cred at the scene of the murder by an
employe of the cemetery directed sus-
picion toward him and for time gave
promise that an arrest would be made,
but the man made his escape, and it
Is not known who he was. The ceme-
terry employees went Toward this per-
son, but on seeing them he made off
and they were unable to overtake him.
A description of him was given to the
police and search is being made for
him.
For time suspicion was directed
toward ali employe of st. Bernard's
seminary, which is near the cemetery,
but the seminary authorities disposed
of this. 1t was learned that this sus-
pect had been Ill, so that he was com
PEELED to relinqush his duties for some
time, and mad not been absent from his
home for three days. This informa-
tions would seem to leave the police
wholly at sea, but some of them assert
that they have clues that indicate that
the guilty person is not tramp, that
he is probably now in this city and
that an arrest is probable in a day or
two.
The broken spade which is relied
on to give some indication of who
murdered the young woman was found
near a deserted pumphouse near the
lonely spot where the victims body
was hidden. The shovel was taken
from a pigpen at st. Bernards semin-
ary and its use lends plausibility to
the belief that the murderer was not
