 Arrange Lively Affair.

Charles Zweug. who, with Jesse Cox as opponent, gave the people such an interesting exhibi- ton or motorcycle racing at the fair last year, and who now is president and treasurer of the Zweng Sporting Goods Company at Bloomington, III may come back to Mena and give even better exhibition this year. He writes of the matter to The Star, saying he needs a little rest and recreation anyhow, and inquir, s about the possibility of race. He also wrote Jesse Cox, who i'm mediately took the matter in hand, agreeing to raise a good purse, and to pay the cost oi bringing two very fast machines here for the event. President Dennis also agrees to add cash premium 10 the purse for the winner.
 Charlie was one of the most en- terprising workers for the fair when his home and business were here, and his letters show that he has not forgotten Mena and his friends.

 ANCE IS EXPLAINED

 Doped and Robbed.
LFrom Mondays Daily.l

The story of the disappearance of K. F.. Burks, referred to in the dispatches as the Rev. James Burks, Presbyterian field worker and Sunday school organizer, proves to be less of a sensation than the reports indicated.
 Mir. Bnrks is now in Mena at the home of his brother, the Rev. c. w. Burks, where he arrived Saturday. He today furnished The Star the following explana- ton of the affair:
 Saturday morning, July 2f, packed ny trunk and grip, expecting to visit my brother in Mena on Sunday. where 1 was to meet my mother and take her to her home in Dallas, Tex. Satur- day afternoon l bought a ticket to Pc teau and boarded the local train which was standing at the depot. 1 had some business in Poteau, after seeing to that, 1 met a friend who suggested we go to Ft. Smith.
 Being in trouble over some money matters and love affair gave way and took drink, which was contrary to my custom.
 Being doped and robbed I remained in state of indifference, neglectine to advise any one where 1 was until Friday evening, when 1 came to my self and left for home, As to how il happened and by whom done I am not able to say.
 I am under obligations to all who were interested in my disappearance.
 l am not minister. Respt.
 k. E. Burks.

FUR PRIVATE INTERESTS
Aldrich and Penrose Behind Move
 ment Against Reclamation Service.

Spokane, Wash Aug. 1.-I Sur face indications are that powerful corporation interests, supported by Senators Aldrich and Penrose and the New England delegation in Congress, are pre- pairing to make the fight of their lives against the United States reclamation service at the l7th session of the National Irrigation Congress in Spokane the week of August 9. The apparent purpose is to destroy the cooperative plan of lending money without interest to establish reclamation plants, hoping thereby to put into effect a system by which private iudi- viduals could become rich on the interest of the funds necessary to carry on those vast projects. Scouts have been sent into var ious parts of the western and south western states, but their mission has been without success Now it is purposed to resort to other meaus. The various com munities in which moisture is sup piled 10 the land by artificial means have been notified to send representatives to thwart the plans of the enemies of the ser. vice, and, as practically every one vii send it's quota of delegates, there is every reason to believe that the coming sessions will be the livliest in the history of the Congress.
