ARKANSAS RESOURCES.

Guion. July 20-It would be hard to convince residents of lz- ard county that they did not re- side in the best one in the state. The increase in population here druing the past few years has been remarkable as it has reached the 1SsOOO mark, and new corners are arriving all the time.
 Arkansas is favored with a wealth of resources and they are found on every hand in Izarj county. Large forests of pine, oak hickory, walnut, ash and cedar cover the hills and bring in thous- ands of dollars every year. The manufacture of this raw material only began a few years ago but today modern machinery is in use and all kinds of timber prodocts are being turned out. Another pro ductive resource is found in the best grade of glass sand and lime. 1t is shipped out of here by the carload Fruits are also profitt able.

The Slayer of N. p. Willis Has the Sym. pathy of a Majority of the PeO
 pie of Little Rock.

Little Rock, July 29- Not until the excitement has subsided will there be any hears ing in the case of W. Y4Ellis, who is charged with the murder of N
 F. Willis here Tuesday afternoon. This has been decided upon by James A. Gray, attorney for El- lis ana John F. Rutherford his uncle who spent all yesterday go- ing over the situation. Until that time Ellis will be permitted to remain quietly in the Jackson county jail at Newport where it develops he was taken immedtate- ". after his arrest for safe- keep ingI He was taken away merely to keep down excitement, a few friends of Willis making a number of firebrand statements which made Sheriff Roberts decide to take him out of the city. l. c, Willis. a brother of the deceaseG and A.. k, King his brother-in law. arrived from Indianapolis last night and will return with the remains tonight, Mrs. F., Will lis, the mother of the murdered man, and Mrs. A k, King his sister will also accompany the remains.

Board hereby declares that it is not responsible for and win take no part in any controversy that may arise between the courts and the State Capitol Commission,
 And still the work of demO.Esh- ing the floors and walls of the south half of the State Capitol continues just as though no in junction had been issued by Cham cellor Mlrtineau. The ring of the .sledges in the hands of the braw| ny convictS as they descend upon the thick cement floors can be heard for blocks from the build, ing. The injunction notice has been served upon every member of the commission upon those in charge of the work at the build- ing but fin some way no effort was made to serve a copy on Lem Smith warden at the penitentiary whom the officers Of the COm-s mission claim lis in charge of the convicts. When the officers went back to locate and serve the notice on Warden Smith yester- day they found him gone and the notice was still unServed this morning. Attorneys for Caldwell & Drake will probably secure affidavits today, stating the work is going on at the Capitol building contrary to the injunc- tion order, whether Smith is To- cated or not and then bring about the anticipated clash be- tween county and state author ity. All out of town members Of the Capitol Commission are out of the city and it is up to the executive committee, Governor Donaghey IF. d. Remmel and Chas. l., Thompson to take what ever action is to come. Governor Donaghey absolutely refuses to discuss anything pertaining to the Capitol. It is probable howevt. CT Associate Justice Wood, the only member of the Supreme Court in the city, will be appea led to for supercedeas should the contempt writ be issued, and the work go merrily One

THE MEETING YESTERDAY.

Little Rock, July 20 Another red hot meeting of the Arkansas Penitentiary Board was held yesterday afternoon and. .un- like in other meetings Gov, Don aghey carried his point and the Board did not vote to take from the State Capitol Commission the 100 convicts working on the State Capitol building, as it was stated the meeting was called for The meeting was called by Auditor lobe, president of the board at the request of several members. When the meeting convened Secretary of State Lud- wig offered a resolution calling in the 100 convicts the board had allowed the Capitol Commission to use as they were being work ed contrary to the injunction of state court. Auditor lobe then offered a resolution in which it was stated the men were furn- ished to the commission by the board In compliance with an act of the legislature, and were be- ing worked on the building in ac- cordance with it's provisions, and as they were being worked by the Commission the board dis claim any responsibility whatev- CT Tor the work the, convicts are doing.

REPUBLICAN PARTY LEADERS
CONFRONTED WITH HANpI-
CAPS IN LEGISLATION.
PRESIDENT TAFT EXPECTED
TO PROVIDE A REMEDY
Formulation Of Tariff Bill Antagonizes
Many Interests, as Usual, and Men,
aces Party in Power in Next Elec-
tion-Taft Looked to to Take Care Of
Middle West.

Washington, April 2S.-Tariff legis-
lation in 1909, as is always the case, is
promising trouble for the political par
ty charged with responsibility for it,
and 1T is just as certain that the tariff
is to be the leading issue in the 1910
campaign as it is that that campaign
is to be made. President Taft is keen
ly alive to the situation, and is doing,
and will continue to do, everything
that he can to have the new law
framed along lines that will excite the
least opposition among republicans, es-
pecially among the great body of low
tariff republicans living in the val
leys Of the central west.
The president is being heartily sup
ported in this by the majority of house
and senate members from that region,
now without dispute the balance of
power in all general elections.
But While the president and the cen
trail west are working together, the
tariff bill in the senate, where the new
law Will be made in large part, is in
control of the high-tariff or conserva-
tive republicans of New England and
the east, with Senator Aldrich at their
head, and these men are so strongly in
trenched in the senate that there is
fear that they will either be able to
get practically all that they want in
the new law or enough to discredit the
bill in a larger or smaller way in the

brief, and it is sufficiently serious to
cause all public men to task the ques-
ton whether the democrats will be
strong enough to take advantage of
the opportunity, which thus seems
likely to be presented them in the
campaign next year. If they are, look
out for fight for control of the six
ty-second congress that will either
give it to the democrats or maintain
the republicans in control by mar
gin that will be so narrow as, from
some points of view, to look like a
moral defeat.
Republican Division Serious.
A good deal has been said by the
newspapers about the growth of pro-
lection sentiment among southern
democrats, and it is all true, but 1t is
no more so than the statement that a
great gulf is growing up between the
old-fashioned high-tariff republicans
of the east and the low tariff repub-
licans Of the central west. The in
creased voting power, and consequent
greater political influence. of the latter
region, makes this division more seri-
Gus at the present than at any previous
time in American tariff history.

Many citizens of Marshalltown have
good reason to be thankful for burdens
lifted from aching backs, which they
bore patiently for years Scores tell
about their experience publicly. Here's
a case of it:
William Barnhill, retired, 40s South
Second street, Marshalltown, Iowa,
says: II can recommend Doan's Kid
ney Pills as an excellent remedy for
kidney trouble. I suffered greatly from
backache and an annoying weakness
OF my kidneys. 1t sometimes seemed
as If my back were breaking and th.re
was constant pain extending from my
shoulders to the small of my back I
was unable to get my proper rest it
being necessary for me to get up at
least half a dozen times to pass the
kidney secretions. Since using Doan's
Kidney Pills which I procured at the
Mcbride and Will Drug Company, the
backache has entirely left me and my
kidneys have become more natural.
This remedy is worthy of the highest
praise"

Silent Clubs.

Some eccentric persons in the
French capital, we learn from a Paris
contemporary, have formed club the
principal rule Of which is that all the
members when at the institution. shall
preserve an absolute silence. Our con-
temporary prophes1es short life for
the club in a country noted for it's
loquacity. Moreover, the idea is by
no means new, for we read toward the
end of the seventeenth century of a
similar assembly in London. Many
such clubs are said to exist to-day in
China. The silent members of the
Spectator club gave us unaided Sir
Roger de Coverley, so what measure
less possibilities are before this new

Students Idea Of the Changes That

Bring About.
the destiny of the Uni

What will be the destiny of the Uni
ted States?
The answer to this can be supplied
Immediately by a comparison with the
Roman empire. The establishment Of
Constantinople as the capital of the
east, and the eastern empires separ-
alton from Rome, are paralleled in
the story Of the American revolution.
We may look, then, for progressive
decline in the strength of England,
in inverse ratio to our own increas-
ing power; Australia, already Ameri-
can in her political organization, will
gravitate, with Canada, into the union;
finally the English-speaking peoples
will be reunited under American aus
pieces. That is as far as we can look
forward legitimately.
America will be absorbed in the so.
luton of her social problems. Democ-
racy, which has never really existed,
will be coming into its own; and with
its advent will disappear the comedy
of representative government which,
tried out through several centuries in
ing, is destined to receive its coup de
grace upon American soil.
The battle of socialism will be upon
us, to be solved, probably, after some
considerable bloodshed. by a sudden
illumination of common sense. The
loose, haphazard productive methods
of today, and our costly and faulty
manner of distribution, will have to be
organized to prevent their complete
breaking down.
The solution of this tremendous
problem, which will be precipitated by
the sudden failure of foreign markets
when manufacturing and prohibitory
tariffs are universal in all countries,
will occupy our attention for at least
a century to come.
By the year 2oO9, therefore, no radi-
cal changes will have occurred upon
the map Of the new world.-Henry
Paradyne. in Harper's Weekly.

Included in yesterdays receipts were
some Montana hay-fed cattle which
sold at Sc for the best end. with light
er kinds at $3.50 and feeders at So.
Range sheepmen feel pretty. sure of
getting high prices for their wool and
they also anticipate good price for
their mutton stock.
"The number, of sheep fed in Colo
RADIO during the past year was approx
imately two-thirds as large as the
number fed the year BEFORE" said Lew
Is Kern, of Windsor, Col. This de-
crease is explained in large degree
when you remember that the bottom
fell clear out of the sheep market dur
ing the panic and a number of feeders
naturally were affected with cold feet
as result. Practically all of the sheep
in Colorado have been marketed"
P. G. Zimmerman. successful feed
er of Franklin county, was on Wednes-
days market with two loads of cattle
and one of hogs. Mr.. Zimmerman re-
ports matured cattle and hogs scarce
in his section.
w. j. insolvency, of Fayette
county. one of the largest shippers of
live stock in the state has marketed
at Chicago about six loads of hogs
during the past week. He says the crop
of matured hogs thruout his section is
very light for this time of year.
c. G. Myers of Colvin Park, ILL.,, was
represented with prime load of draft
ers of his own feeding, which cleared
in the auction at moderate prices. Mr.
Myers for many years had made a
of !, Co.
the spring trade, but reduced his oper-
atoms the past winter on account of
the high cost Of feed and the weak
demand for fancy drafters. Business
conditions for the last eighteen months
have been unsatisfactory to most large
consumers of draft horses and prices
for finished lots are too near the range
of good industrial chunks to make the
feeding a profitable enterprise Two
years ago Mr.. Myers shipped upward
of 200 head of top finished drafters to
market that made a reasonable profit
on the extra cost of feeding, while in
1909 his fed horses will total not over
seventy-five head, that will clear at
about first cost. The firms and bust
ness houses that were urgent buyers Of
top finished drafters two years ago
are not in the market this year for
fancy chunks, making the outlet too
narrow to justify the extra expense of
special feeding for market. In former
seasons nearly all the top drafters
were taken by Chicago, New York and
Milwaukee packers and brewers, while
the bulk of the drafters the current
year that have sold at $500 and upward
have been purchased bv dea1 arS for
consignment to the Pacific coast. The
Alaska Yukon exposition has stimu-
lated the Pacific coast demand for
fancy industrial chunks and the gen
eral movement of extra drafters has
been westward instead of eastward
thus far the current year.

There is a man in Massachusetts

joyment in his long life than any man

very strong statement, but when we
remark that in the last 40 years Mr..

caught II miles of fish, the gentle
reader will surely agree to the asser.
ton.
By II miles we mean that when

for 40 years, counting in sick days,
winter days, storm days, Sundays-in
fact, for every day in 40 years he
caught four fish.
While it is easy to calculate the
pounds, distance, number and all the
statistics of this 40 years fishing, it
is impossible to estimate the Joy that
