Finances at Penitentiary.

Since the long discussion and final passage of the bill carrying $9S,000 to wipe out the deficit that had been created in the penitentiarv fund, last April, the financial condition of the penitentiary has retired somewhat from the limelight. For the past sev- eral months conditions have been much improved over those of the previous year, so that the institution seems to be getting back toward a self-supporting basis.
 However, not counting the debt of $9S,000 which the institution techni- cally owes the general revenue fund, the penitentiary is still financially in arrears. Accounts to the amount of about $20,000 or mora are now outstanding, having accumulated since the first of last April.
 Against this condition there is the incoming crop of cotton, valued at $80,000, and which will all be har- vested by December l. Counting the expenses of the penitentiary to have amounted to $40,000 by that time, including the present outstanding in debtedness, the proceeds of the crop will meet this expense and leave ap- proXimatly $40,000 to the credit of the fund.

To ForestaII Rice Damaoe.

Fayetteville.-A fungus growth that is damaging to rice, and which may prove an important factor in the future of rice culture in Arkansas, has been discovered and is now being thoroughly studied by the experiment tai station at this place. Prof. c. F.. Adams, dean and director of the ex pertinent station, states that a growth has been found on rice grown in fields where rice has been grown for about three years. Some of the diseased rice was found on the eS- pertinent farm at Lonoke. The plant pathology department at the experi- ment station has been ordered to study the disease and if possible de termine the preventive measures nee esSary.

LOW WATER RECORD
ARKANSAS RIVER STAGE DROPS
 TO NEW MINIMUM.
Shallow Depth May 'lnterfere With Projected Boat Trip to New
 Orleans.

Little Rock-The Arkansas river at Little Rock has established a new record for itself by falling D of a foot above the zero of the gauge, thereby reaching the lowest stage known since the establishment of the weather bureau station at Little Rock, July 1, 1879.
 During September and October, 1879, the river fell to a stage of .6 of a foot, which was tenth of a foot higher than the record just noted.
 The river at Little Rock has been relatively low all of the past sum- mer. The records show that it's high est stage was Il feet July 8. At the end of July it had fallen to a stage of feet. During the first week in August there was a slight rise, the gauge showing a stage of feet Au- gust 6. Since then it has fallen steadily.
 September and October, 1879, were exceedingly dry months. The normal rainfall for October is 2.43 inches. In October, 1879, the rainfall was .9S of an inch The present October has a good chance of equaling the October of 1879, as the rainfall in the last 15 days has been only 30 of an inch.
 The low stage of the river has made the Little Rock-New Orleans trip at least a doubtful question. The steamer Grand, owned by the Little Rock Packet company, has been fit ted up with cabins for passenger traf- fic and the excursion will be made to New Orleans if there is any pos sible chance.
 The trip has not been abandoned and will not be if there is stage of water sufficient to float the boat to the mouth of the Arkansas river. The start will not have to De made prior to October 20.
 The stage of the riyer at Little Rock is controlled by rains in the drainage basin west of Fort Smith, the Canadian, Cimaron and Neosho rivers being the main tributaries.

U."
 When first established the uniyer sity was named University of Ar kansas" by the legislature, and in all legal matters pertaining to Arkansas university this expression will have to be applied, but the students feel that there is no reason why they should not use the more modern eX- pression when speaking and writing about the institution.

Meat Prices Still Soar.

Chicago-No hope of permanently lower prices for meat was held to the delegates to the fourth annual convention of the American Packers association, in session in this city.
 Michael Ryan, president of the as- sociation, said that prices might drop slightly for a short time, as there has been some increase in the number of cattle raised recently, but this boon to American housewives would be short lived. and there can be no hope for much lower prices.

KANSANS PAY PRICE
BIG CONCERN OBTAINS RIGHT TO OPERATE IN ARKANSAS.
Believed That Development of Oil and Gas Belt Will Follow
 at Once.
Little Rock, Ark.


 The willingness with which the Prairie Oil & Gas company of Kan sas paid S5,051 for the privilege of entering Arkansas to develop oil and gas properties is taken as certain indication that the company has something in view that it believes is real oil property.
 The company was chartered by Secretary Ludwig, and the fat char ter fee was paid over with as little hesitation as if it had been the pur- chase price of good cigar. w. c. Harrison of DeQueen was named as the state agent and DeQueen was made the place of business of the concern in this state The assets of the company are placed at $45,O00,- 000, with liabilities of S31,000,000, which indicates that the concern has all the money it requires in handling big propositions.
 In addition to this, the personnel of the directorate leads to the opin- ion that the company may be closely identified with the Standard Oil com pany, in which event belief is all the more pronounced that big develop ments will follow.
 In it's statement as to it's financial standing the company indicates that | $500,000 of it's assets will be en- ployed in it's Arkansas explorations, and the naming of DeQueen as it's | business headquarters inclines to the | belief that the company proposes to undertake the development of the Arkansas extension of the oil and gas belt already developed in Cass county, Texas, a promising field just west of the Caddo oil fields.
 New Regulations Being Prepared.
 The military department is finish ing up the work of preparing the reg ulations for the Arkansas National Guard, but they will not be distrib- uted for about thirty days, as copies will have to be made and these cop ies corrected by the leading officers of the guard. The first draft has been completed by Major B. l.. Com pere and Major E. B. Jett. It was submitted to Bruce Bullion, secretary | to the governor, and Mr. Bullion asked that copies be made in order that he could more thoroughly in- spect the draft. After the final draft is agreed upon copies of the regula- tions and also of the questions which the officers are to answer will be mailed out to all commissioned off | cerS.

Water Threatens State Farm.

The question of protecting the lands in the Linwood-Auburn levee district depends in a great measure upon the action that may be taken by the penitentiary board in levying the banks adjacent to the state farm. State Auditor lobe, chairman of the penitentiary board, received letter from Gus Waterman, chairman of the levee board, stating that Engi- neer Charles Miller had informed him that if something was not done for the bank on the farm much damage would result from the next overflow.
