Greaves, Republican, and ordered spec ial election held within 30 days, was given a senatorial start this afternoon, when the County Democratic Central Committee, presided over by J. B. Wood by the reform faction, adopted the following resolution:
 Whereas, tbe governor has called special election to be held in the thirty-frst senatorial dis trict for the election of senator to fill the vacancy caused by the recent action of the state senate of Arkansas; and
 Wh reas, it is impossible under the law to hold primary ele ection or to b ave a convection for the purpose ol nominating candidate to be voted tor 1t sald election; and
 "Whereas, o. H. Sumpter was honestly and fairly defeated by majority of votes cast in the election for said office on the l4th day of Septe m Der, and II he ever was the nominee of the Demo- cratic party for said office, fact which we, as Democrats, deny, he cannot now after the result of the election justly or legally claim 10 be such a nominee, and the democratic party is therefore without a nominee to be voted for at special election; and
 "Whereas, we believe 1t to be proper aud for the best interest of the Democratic party that a candidate nominated by this committee tor said office; there fore be 1t
 "Resolved that Hamp Williams be aud he is hereby nominated a n d named as h candidate of the Democratic party of Garland county for the office of senator of the thirty first senatorial district, and we most sincerly recommend him to the voters of Montgomery and Gar land counties as such nominee, as being in every way worthy oi the hearty support at the polls

 Previous to the adoption of the first resolution, Senator Wadley stated to the committee that ii the local organization did no, proceed along regular party lines through the calling of a senato' rial convention to nominate, and give Sumpter fair chance to bs the nominee, the senate and house would resent the local action because of friendly sympathy fol Judge Sumpter, and no legisla' tiou tor this section could be enacted by any representative who might be sent to the assem- bly,.

Miss Hoerner Accompanies Captain
Berry in Another Attempt
to Win the Lahm
Cup.
LIKE SLEEPING CAT
Basket Was Fitted up sumptuously
and Made a Fine Start on Its
Journey in the
Sky.

ST. LOUIS, Nov 4.-"The Lahm
cup or bust" were the last words ut
tered by Miss Julia Hoerner, st. Louis
woman aeronaut, at SOC p. m. yester-
day as she and Capt. John Berry, win
ner Of the Indianapolis long-distance
balloon race, ascended in the $4,000
cubic foot balloon Melba III from the
Rutger street gas works in an effort
to capture the cup, now held by Hol-
land Forbes of New York, acting pres
ident of Aero Club of America. Forbes
covered 7S1 miles.
The start was made in the presence
of a large throng, including many per-
sons prominent in society and large
number of persons from the St Louis
and North and South St. Louis Aero
Clubs.
The balloon, according to Harlow B.
Spencer, made one Of the handsomest
getaways ever seen in this city. The
big new bag rose gracefully to a
height Of 900 feet and was carried by
a fifteen-mile breeze east by south.
The balloon remained in sight for
nearly fifteen minutes before darkness
shut 1t from view.
Before starting Berry telegraphed ID
the Aero club Of America Of his inten-
tion to compete for the cup. Monday
he deposited the 81 fee.
The balloon, with fifty sacks q
sand. was ballastcd more heavily than
any which ever made a trip from this
city. and besides carrying varied sup
ply of dainties and other food enough
to last week, contained two sets OF
aeronautic instruments. The basket
was divided into two distinct compart-
ments, modelled as much as possible
after Pullman sleeping compartments.
| A curtain is SO arranged that 1T gives
each aeronaut the greatest possible

official reachAl into two fling cases
and drew out two large bundles Of cor
respondence as evidence.
These are not all applications, but
some are. We are having great
many inquiries which indicate the
trend OF sentiment down there. We
lost seventy national banks. which
withdrew when the Oklahoma law
became effective. Some Of the bankers
in Withdrawing wrote us that they
were sorry to withdraw as national
banks, but felt that they had to for

The official intimated that these
