THE BUTTON MUSSEL
Arkansas Has Big Industry in Making Pearl" Buttons Government h.
 terested in Propagation.

Newport, April l.-It requires a billion button holes a year to accomodate the pearl buttons manufactured in Arkansas, ac- cording to the statements of button men at Madison, where the button factory is running in full blast seeking to supply the demand.
 So heavy has become the de- mand for mussel shells from which the buttons are made that the government has set its ex- perts to work to discover the best methods of propagating them and of restocking the streams of this and other states. The future of the "pearl" button industry is practically in the hands of these experts. The breeding habits of the mussel have been only re- gently discovered and the dis covery has not simpli6ed the method of artiiically stimulating propagation. The mussel ex- udes eggs in ball shaped group, containing scores of minute eggs which float Tn the water until they become accidentally attach to the body of a fish. They thrive on a juice which the fish exudes in an effort to throw them off. When they mature sufficiently they drop off the fish and sinking to the bottom of the stream begin the formation of a shell from secretious of the body. The pears found in mussels are supposed 10 be formed by the secretions of the mussel coating a foreign particle, like grain of sand, which accidentally enters the shell. Pearl bearing muSsels are not edible.

YOUNG TEACHER
 GOES ON TRIAL
Charged With the Murder of Farmer and the Faamer's Son Because They Refused to Let School
 Children Drink at Spring.

Hot Springs, April 1. = A young school tea cher, who killed farmer and his son because they had repeatedly objected to school children drinking water from spring on the farmers ground, is to go on trial in the circuit court here today, the charge being murder in the first degree. Garfield Lewis is the young mans name and bis vic tims were Henry Fisher and his son John Fisher, both of whom were residents of Lincoln town ship, where Lewis was principal of country school.
 The schoo, teacher and his pupils had obtained drinking water from the Fisher spring, but for reasous of his own Fisher objected aud resorted to the ex- pedieut of stirring up mud in the bottom of the spring just before recess time. On August 24, last. feeling in the matter had reached the acute stage, and when Lewis went to the spring and found Fisher there and the water iu an unclean condition the two men engaged in a hgbt, which re- suited in Lewis using his knife with deadly effect npon the father. The son arrived upon the scene in time to see his father die and to talk, up the fight him self. To the infuriated school teacher in the utmost heat of battle the son became an easy victim, and when he cooled down he awoke to the realization that he had taken two lives.
 Lewis has been out on bond.

More than the amount indi- ca'ed should be put in the new buildings, since all of these are now too small to keep pace with the increasing attendance at the University G133 students at Fayetteville this year, 65S of these being collegiate.
 Several hundred thousand dol lars would be needed to purchase a campus equal in size to the one at Fayetteville.
 The total cost of removal and establishment in the new location would at conservative estimate be not less than $l, 900, 900.
 In addition to this Washington county gave in 1871 $l30, 900 for the university, and it is a ques- tiou if the county would not be iu position to ask refund of that amount with interest if the institution was to be moved.
 Closing, the professor said: "I do not say that the change should not take place. l do say that the question of removal should be carefully and not hastily con- sidered.

T YEARS GIVEN
 PICKETT NEGROES
The Slayers of Charles Abbott Are Hurried Into Louisiana, En Route to Penitentiary
 From El Dorado.

Fl Dorado, April 1.-Imme. diately after the jury had rem dered a verdict of murder in the second degree and fixed the pun. ishment of Wilson and Henry Pickett, charged with the mur- der of Charles Abbott and the shooting of F. NJ. Abbott near Hampton December Is, at Fl years iu the penitenliaTy, the two negroes were taken by deputy sheriffs to Collinston, La, in or der that they might escape any possible violence here. The con- victed men will be taken to Little Rock tonight and lodged in the peuitentiary.
 The trial of the two Picket has been a sensational one in a number of respects. On the day before the opening ot the trial Governor Donaghey was asked to provide military protection for the two men, as 1t was reported that Il mob was forming at Hampton 10 come here and lynch the two negroes, Governor Don aghey,- accordingly, ordered the company of militia here to be mobilized at once and placed at the disposal of Sheriff Harmon to guard the men. A large number of persons came here from Hamp- ton, the scene of the crime, but there was no attempt at violence.
 The two Picketts are alleged to have killed Charles Abbott in cold blood, and it was expected here that they would receive the maximum penalty. The Abbotts are prominent in Calhoun county, Fred Abbott, the wounded man, being county treasurer.
 The jury returned verdict this afternoon and immediate steps were taKeu to remove the prisoners from Fl Dorado. Dep uty Sheriffs Garland, Grace, FL. Dumas and Captain s. D. Craw- ford took the men to Colliuston, and will guard them until they are delivered 10 the authorities al Little Rock.
 Sheriff Harmon here declares that he did not anticipat. any violence and that the 75 persol s who came here from Hampton, and whose coming aroused the report that lynching was plan ned, were merely witnesses in the case. But few of these men, however, appeared in the case in | lis manner.

TIE SOLDIERS ARE 10 BE WITHDRAWN
Col. Hoffman Has Notified the hela' tives of the Greek Leader nat VT, less the Latter Gives Himself on a' Once, Reward For Him beau o' Alive Will Be Offered.


 Pierce, Ok, Apr. S.--What Musko. gee newspaper calls the smoked beef rebellion" alleging the same to be considerable of joke, IS all pu' over in a day or two the militia, U is expected, will be withdrawn. MIC lntosh county will feed between So ana 100 prisoners, not one of whom reslsp ed arrest. and Chitti Harjo, other"ise Crazy Snake, will exercise all due eau ton about appearing In public.
 He was. not captured Thursday' neither did he respond to a widely dls' tributed invitation to surrender. The picturesque posses quilted the hunt leaving the field to the first regiment 0. N. G. Col. Hoffman sent squads through the river bottoms ana pre- viously unexplored gulches in tnis vicinity, while Maj Barrett, spreading his men, numbering 100 into extreme ly open order, advanced like a comD through the Hickory woods. Crazy Snake, however, was elsewhere
 Meanwhile Col. Hoffman held an ex tended pow-wow with the fugitives SIS ter. The interview took place al Crazy Snakes sormer home on a swell of prairie which the Creek leader dis dained to cultivate despite the ex' ample of a white neighbor whose furrows are already turned and mar rowed for the seasons cotton crop The Snake place is a one room shantJ with rickety porch and big chimney of southern negro huts. The ground around it has never been plowed, and lean dogs yelp amid the weeds.
 The Indian leaders sister and the militia chief met on the porch afore' mentioned, but the former succeeded in convincing her questioner that she knew nothing of her brothers where abouts.
 Very we'll than" responded the colonel, Tt is up to him. He has "A hours more in which to put himself under our protection. He should dc it, as the next step undoubtedly will be the offering of reward for him dead or alive"
 Col. Hoffman admitted that he did not know whether his ultimatum would ever reach its real objective point. But he had his suspicians, as somebody undoubtedly is taking fooo to the old chief along with the news of the day.
 1t is admitted that the willy red mar has eluded his pursuers. He controls his own destinies so long as he choses to remain hidden. The territory il which he may roam is too large fol the military to cover thoroughly which both pursuer and pursued wei know.
 Of course the latter may conclude a the last moment of military occupanc! to give himself up, but it is the gener al belief that the old warrior will dt nothing of the kind. It Is regarded al more likely that he will wait unti public excitement, already much re duced, has subsided completely, ant then emerge from his hiding place.

THE REMOVAL OF
 STATE UNIVERSITY
Charles c. Carroll. Professor of Chem istry of the U. of A., Gives Estimates of Cost and Ad-
 vises Careful Consideration

Chailes c. Carroll, professor O. chemistry of the University ot Arkansas, while here with the University Glee Club, was asked as to bis opinion regarding the removal of the University from Fayetteville to Little Rock, a bill for which has passed the state senate.
 The professor thinks the eli mate a; Fayetteville is admirably suited for student work, being such that be can put forth hls best efforts the year around, there being no excessively hot summer weather, such as is the usual con dltion in Little Rock. He also states that the railroad facilities at Fayetteville are good, though in the northwest corner of the state and hence not equally ac cessible from all parts ot ihe state. The community is moral one; the prohibition laws are en- forced; and in city tue proper maintenance ot discipline would be more difficult, since there would be more dlstracting influences.
 The question ot the cost of removal and of duplicating the buildings, grounds and equip men, at present prices for labor and materials is large one. To reproduce the main building would cost $500, GOO. (This is a four story building wilh a base meut, two hundred and fourteen feet long, with two wings, each l24 feet in depth ) Cost of re- placement (estimated) If this and other buildings follows:
