NO NEW DEVELOPMENTS.

LeWisvllle, Jan 24.-There have been no new developments today in the Merchants and Farmers bank situation. Cashier Smith af- ter his arre t, was brought into the city and arraigned before Justice Atkinson yesterday The amount of his bond was fixed and he immediately returned to a friends house at old LcWisyille. about two miles out Of town. He will have his preliminary hearing next Wednesday. The other char ges against, him will not come up for hearing until the regular term Of court next summer.
 The receivers are still busy with the books Of the bank and are expected to have a full report of it's condition by Monday noon They refuse to give out any statements until their eXam,na- tiOn is completed.
 Fears of personal violence to Smith seem to have quieted down but there is still much excite ment and the feeling both for and against him i@ very high Some threats have been made by number of depositors who fear they will lose their money, out the friends of Smith are defend ing him With equal warmth.
 Yesterday and today have been two more baImy days, and many nimrOd feels the fishing fev CT i'll bis bones, and would make ready for trip to the lakes, but for the fear that the predicted cold weather for this week would come on him all too suddenly for a good time.

TO IMPROVE SALINE RIVER.

Washing gtOn, D c. Ian 22 - With the prospect for a small bill for maintenance and estim- ates and surveys for river and harbOr improvements this session Congressman Wallace today in trOduCed a separate bill for the direction of the secretary of war to survey the Saline river from it's mouth to Turtle Bar. When the general bill is finally drafted if possible Mr. Wallace will have included the Saline survey.
 It is quite certain now in the O. pinion of friends of waterway bet terments that the small bill will be reported by the commit tee and that it will be passed by both houses.
 Practically all hope for the larger bill this session has been abandoned, but Congressman Ransdel of Louisiana told the Gazette correspondent today that 1T sufficient effort were eX- pended by the supporters of these enterprises he believed the pros pect was excellent for a bill be ing reported in the special session for something adequate to care for the projects which have been demonstrated to be vitaly ne cessary to present needs of com merce.
 "Buslneas men and organiza- tiOns in every state" he sad. should bring to bear all possible pressure to gain this end"
 Urging of federal bond issues for waterway improvements is the plan of the enthusiasts who they claim will do away with the argument against present work that there is deficit in the ma tional treasury

SATURDAYS EARTHQUAKE.

St. Petersburg, Jan. "A. - AL though all reports from the var ious Observatories n Russia To- cate the earthquake shocks which were recorded yesterday somewhere on the Russian side of Parmirs, TurkeStan no direct news has been received that would serve to fix the disturb ance in any definite place.
 A dispatch from BorshOm in Trans-Ca ucaSia, reports the registering there by the seismo- graphic instruments of a dis tant earthquake.
 Russian Turkestan is sparsely settled section and details of an earthquake there would be very slow in reaching St. Petersburg. The first direct reports from the scene of the great earthquake at karatagh, Russian Turkes ; tan in October 1907. were not received here until three weeks after it's occurrence. In that earthquake about 15,OOO per sons were killed.

GOOD AS FAR AS IT GOES.

Little Rock, January %
 The $2,5OO appropriation re- commended by Secretary of Ag- riculture James Wilson to be spent in a soil survey in two cOun ties in Arkansas .s sufficient for only limited survey, according to State Land Commissioner l.. L. Coffman. The survey involves the analysis Of the various soils ill the two counties with q view to ascertaining the k.nd5 Of crops and trees that are best a . dapted to them.
 "The S2,5O0 will not go very far" said Mir. COffman last night Tt can only include a limited ar ca. A soil survey Of the entire state would cost many times this amount, but would be well worth the cost. The survey the govern ment proposes to give us will be a great thing, though"

INVESTS IN ARKANSAS LANDS.

Little Rock. January % uring that land investments i'll Arkansas will pay twice or three times what they do in Illinois cn the same amount of money, c. C. Bailey of Parkersburg, Ill.,, has sold his high-pr.ced land in that state and reinveSted the money near Lonoke. Mir. Bailey has bought around 2,5OO acres of land in a body near Lonoke from separate owners The last deal was made in Argenta yesterday. It was for an SO-acre tract, for which $55O was paid. slightly less than $7 an acre.
 Mr. Bailey's holdings cost him S2O,O 900 and he will spend $2O,OOO more in improving the property with buildings and the like and restoring the worn lands. He fig ures that it will take four years to restore the worn lands, the main fertilizer to be cowpeas.
 MT Bailey who is a scientific farmer and has the advantage of being provided with an album dance. Of capital, expects to raise double crops on the restored lands as compared with their present production. Mir. Bailey came from the corn belt of Illin- Ois where land sells at from $50 to S175 and S2OO an acre. If he is as successful in his farming operations near Lonoke as he an ticipates it is likely to result in other Illinois farmers investing m the cheaper lands of Arkan- SaS.
 Arkansas has been overlooked

TROUBLES OF RETAILER.

I'm the Prince Of Worried Men the one altogether despised." writes an Atchison dry goods man to this office, says the At chison Globe. Ut is the time of year when the women are buy ing fall suits; when, after one of them ordering one in gray from me, goes to my competitor and sees a blue one which she likes better and buys it. My su.t has been altered to suit her and it will suit some other woman. The woman believes she is per fectly respectable in her conduct and pay for it. She goes to my competitor and has the same OK
 perience that the other woman had with dress, sees one she | likes better comes back and de- cides to wait awhile before buy
 ing, and expects to get the money back. In two months a new phase in my worries develops. After the season is over ,re2dy-made suits and coats will be marked down. A week before the reduced prices are put into effect woman comes in and buys a suit. It may take a day or two to make the changes she wants in it. Then when she reads of the reductions in your paper she comes to me and de mands that l give her the bene- fit of the reduced prices. What am to do? She threatens that if 1 don't she will expose me to all her neighbOrS and hints at powerful influence in her neigh borhood My friend in the queens ware business tells me his trOub- les. A woman, who can buy every dish in the store wants to give a party for fourteen friends. She only has a dozen fine china plates and eleven cups and saucers. She goes to him and rents two plates and three cups and saucers. She has broken a cut glass tumbler out of, her set, and rents enc new one. She looks over his stock of salad dishes, cake plates, etc.. and wants to rent a few pieces. If the owner charges her enough to cover the cost of accidental breakage and the expense of de- livering the dishes and going af- ter them, she puts him down sas rObber. Still, the dish mans trou- bleS, are not to be compared with mine." The letter was sent to the office by. a special messenger, and reporter was detailed to ex- anime into the dry goods mans condition His confidential clerks said that after dictating the letter, the merchant went to the darkest corner of the basement. took his position carefully on top of a pile of burlap and threw "a fit the like of which was never seen in Atchison
