A Good One

Fort Smith, Sept. 15.-There is nothing in a name if anyone may judge by the records of the di- vorce courts. Here is an illustra-
 tion of how things go;
 Mrs. Mary M. Goode has just fil- ed suit for a divorce from Pres ton GOode on the grounds of de- sertion. It would appear that MT. Goode had not been goode to Mrs. Goode, although it is possi- ble that Mrs. Goode was not good to Mir. Goode and that in order to be good he had to say good bye for ever. At any rate the GOodes know that it is not easy to be good.

An Arkansas Character

Little Rock, Ark, Sept.15.- Col. Vivian H. Cross, secretary of State of Oklahoma, who is said to be near deaths door at his home in Guthrie, was a former hesi1ent of Arkansas, living in this state for many years before he went t'OOklahoma. He is a warm friend oi Earl Hodges, state Printing Clerk. He trave,ed i'll Arkansas for Swafford BrOs., Kansas City wholesale dr y goods concern i1gl on. the trade for year after year. He was finally transferred to- Oklahoma where he got into politics. He made the campaign as Bil lCross, ask ing the election commissioners ts tlace his name on the ticket in that form, and in November 1907 was elected to the office which he sought.
 After being. elected to the po- rition h. undertook to sign some acts 9s William H. Cross and the matter was taken up by the attor neys O the state, claiming no such person had been elected as Secre- tary of State, and the acts signed by hin were Illegal.

Steer for Arkansas

Little Rock, Ark, Sept .15.- President H. l. Remmel of the Lit tie Rock Board of Trade is proud of Arkansas and takes pleasure in telling of the rapid development of the state and of the bright pros poets for the future. While talk ing to some friends along this line MT. Remmel expressed him. self as follows;
 T have never left the state dur ing the 33 years I have made my home in it without being proud to let every body know that I was from Arkansas. It is a great state, embracing 53,OOO square miles of land more than the state Of New York and of Pennsylvania combined.
 Arkansas has had remarkable
 nd rapid growth. When I came here 33 years Iago I do not sup pose there was a dozen banks in the state. We boast of 400 now with 12,OOO,OOO capital and over S6O, 100000 in deposits. The val ue of the timber in the state is es- timated at S25O,OOO,OOO, which with our thousands of square miles of coal lands, and cotton lands gives us something well to be proud of.
 "A good many institutions in the state have had hard sledding the past two years but things arc changing for the better now. Ev- erything is looking upward and we are all talking about prosper ity. It is not going to be many years before the great ships from the Orient will be plying up and down our rivers and the Mississ- ippi Will De an ocean highway. The young men of today will i've to see my prediction carried out and will see Arkansas become one of the greatest states in our coun- try.

EXCITEMENT
ON STOCK
EXCHANGE
Sky Rocket Raise of Rock ISL
and Common Biggest Sen
Sation of Closing Year.
UNITED PRESS LEASED w.Hu. ]

New York, Dec. 27.-A skyrocke
raise in Rock Island common stock
from 505s to 81, and an immedi
ate recession to so, furnished the
stock exchange and financial cen
ters throughout the country today
with the biggest sensations of the
closing year
Everywhere reports of corner
were heard, and there was intense
excitement on the floor resulting I'm
the falling off of the general list of
securities by several points, some
sustaining a loss of three points.
The fact that the control of the
railroad system is not in the owner
ship of the common stock was the
only anchor that saved the situation
from growing much worse than it
did. This fact precluded the possi-
bility of the buying being conducted
by persons trying suddenly to gain
control Of the property.
There was heavy selling during
the brief period of exciting activity,
and one sale of 1900 shares was re-
corded at the highest mark of the
day 81 points.
The first sale of the day 600 shares
at sos; Immediately thereafter
heavy orders came in apparently
from all sides.
Sales of big blocks of stock were
recorded, and the price went up by
leaps and bounds. AS 1t scared, the
supply increased, and when the mar
Aoet of 81 was reached big vol
ume of the stock was thrown into the
market, and the rising tide stopped.
With the increased supply the
price began to recede. and. going
down slowly, by fractional decreases,
1t slipped back to 70 of a point low
er than the opening prices The
stock closed last Friday at 49h.
The sensational rise of 80 "a points
was accomplished in between five
and six minutes OF trading.
The recession of the price was
much slower than the advance. and
1t took about Is minutes for the
stock to resume dts former level.
Many possible explanations are Of.
Tered for the remarkable demonstra-
tion of stock exchange aeronautics,
including the theory that a clerk
had made mistake in reading an
order. so that 1t provided for the pur-
chase of 10000 shares, when 1t orig
inally read 1000 1t is estimated
that more than 100000 shares
hands during the excite
ment.
In many quarters it is believed |
that the heavy buying was the result .
OF frightened shorts" who fran !
tically tried TO protect themselves.
Representatives of the Rock Island
system denied that either the Moore |
or Reid interests, which control the
road, had anything to do with the ex-
element on the exchange.
