MRS. CLOVER IS AT V|LONIA
One Wife of Man Accused of
 Bigamy in This County.
Glover Said to be Brother of Two Members of Arkansas Legislature-Wite
 Awaits Photo.

Vilonia, Feb. 27. - Special. - Mrs. Emma Glover, who is stay ing at Ballard Schoolhouse, near this place, has just received tele- gram informing her of the arrest of her husband, H. H. Glover. at Columbus, Miss, on a charge of bigamy. The telegram stated that he denied having a wife in Arkansas. Mrs. Glover has wired for a photo of the man under arrest so that she can identify him.
 According to Mrs. Glover's state ments he seems to have been lead ing a double life, spending a part of the time with her under the name of which she is known and which she says is his real name, and part of the time with wife in Columbus, Miss, under the as stunned name of H. B. Fisher. A letter addressed his wife here and found by his Mississippi wife is said to have led to the discovery of his deception.
 Mrs. Glover states that Glover deserted her here two years ago, coming back last December and taking here and their children to Conway, where he was engaged ir the hat renovating business. He apaiu deserted her after ahOut a month, she says, and the first news she has had from him was the tele- gram from Columbus.
 His wife says that Glover is a brother of Representative D. D. Glover of Malvern and Senator K. w. Glover of Prattsville, both members of the present general assembly.

STATE COFFERS
 BEING FILLED

Little Rock, Feb. 27.-Special, - An avalanche of money is descend ing upon the office of the state auditor today. The shower of coin has been coming for some days and has been gradually increasing in volume until today the greatest quantity of all arrived. The cause of it all is the fact that under the provisions of the Wingo law the insurance companies of the state must before March I pay into the state treasury a specified percen tage of the amount represented by business written during the year. The money is accompanied by le- gally required detailed sworn state ments, all of which must be check ed and audited. The result is an enormous amount of clerical labor and burdensome responsibility.
 What the money being paid in will amount to cannot be more than approximately estimated. Last year the insurance taxes amounted to S84 900 in round numbers and this year it will be something over that. The work of receiving and accounting for the money falls up on Stgte Auditor and Insurance Commissioner lobe and Insurance Clerk Colquitt.

NO PROGRESS ON PROHI BILL
Gam Statewide Bill Occupies House but
 No Action is Taken.

Little Rock, Feb. 27.-Special. Although the state wide prohi- bition bill, the Gam measure, was discussed on the floor of the lower house yesterday afternoon it's status remains the same. It was brought up on motion of Little, of Mississippi, to reject the substitute bill offered by Simpson of Scott, providing for submission of the question to the people at a special July election. Glover of Hot Spring and Hurst of Wash inston made speeches against the Gam bill, while Brown of Inde- pendance spoke in favor of it.
 A senate bill by Robertson em towering special judges to sign bills of exception in the event that the regular judge should die or be- come insane, passed the house.

 IS SUGGESTED

This mornings Gazette prints an account of a caucus of about IS state senators held yesterday, at which a compromise on the state capitol matter was discussed. The article says in part:
 "It is understood that Senator Simms of Chicot was the leading spirit in bringing the caucus about, and that he drew a skeleton of a compromise bill that will in all probability be introduced. The bill will provide for the discharge of'George R. Mann, the architect, Caldwell & Drake, the contractors, retain the present commission and increase the commission by four members, making Governor Dona- ghey ex-officio chairman of the board; with vote in case of tie. The bill will carry an appro- priation of S725, ,ooo, $500, 900 of which is to be used in completing the building, S75,oo for installing a heating plant, $50, 900 for light plant, and SIoo, ,ooo for furniture. It provides that the capitol shall be completed by January I, 1911"
 Governor Donaghey is in Con- way today, but of course would make no comment on the propos- ed comprOmise. He seems to feel however, that the legislature is becoming more in favor in his recommendation for the dispos- ition of the capitol matter.

Col. R. D. Dunlap Tells Board of Trade Of Success of Johnson County
 Fair.

At the smoker given by the Board of Trade last night, coun- ty fair for Faulkner county next fall was launched with such enthu siasm as to leave no question as to its successful organization. The decision to have the fair was by an unanimous vote of those present and was made after hearing Col. R. D. Dunlap of Clarksville, the we'll known stock raiser. tell of the success of the Johnson county fair. which has been held annually for the past I2 years.
 About 50 or Go representative business and professional men were gathered at the smoker. President Jo Frauenthal of the Board of Trade stated that the principal ob ject of the meeting was discus sion of the advisibility of having a county fair next fall and to organ ize an association to make the fair an annual event. He introduced MT. Dunlap, who stated that he was not public speaker but would take pleasure in explaining the best methods of conducting a fair.
 MT. Dunlap then outlined the kind of grounds that should be se- cured, the number and kinds of building and fences, the construc- tion of the race course, the approx innate amount of capital necessary and other details of info1 nation. He stated that particular care should be taken to see that only clean and moral exhibitions were shown and that no betting should be permitted on the races. If such were allowed, he said, it would kill the fair quicker than anything else. A county fair association, he stated was not money-making institution, but the Johnson county association had failed to pay div idend to the stockholders in only one year, and had returned to them almost as much money as was originally invested, leaving the plant intact and in good shape.
 Itwas then decided without dis senting vote to organize an associa- ton here After appointing con- mittee composed of H. B. Ingram, Y, Pres. s. Anderson, G. l.. Banner, w. N. Owen and w. D. Cole, Jr !, President Frauenthal suggested that no one should be permitted to subscribe for more than four S25 shares of stock, in order that the stock might be more generally dis tributed.

TWO MINUTE TITLE TALKS
XVII. Buying a Law Suit.

Did you know that placing your reliance upon a warranty deed is simply bidding for a law suit?
 In California this fact is so we'll understood that a warranty deed is looked on with suspicion.
 It is for this reason:
 If the title is good it passes with the deed, end that is all there is to it-no need of war ranty. 1T bad, the adding of a warranty does not make it good.
 A warranty is only a sort of bet-a wager that you will have no trouble; but if you do, and finally lose out, I'll pay your money back.
 A better plan is to require an abstract. Don't go to law. B AHNER & COMPAN
