ton to carry out every promise he has made aud to perform those duties to the best of his ability. The man that doesn't make enemies in the governor office is not fit to be governor" he de- clared.
 Some people lcriticise me for not financing the state institu- tions, declared the governor. If 1 had done so l would probably have pleased many bankers who would have financed state paper at 75 cents on the dollar. ;" He said that such an arrangement could not have proved satisfactory and called attention to the tact that the state was then facing SI 900, 900 indebtedness within years time.
 The governor declared that he intended to finish the new state capitol fit is within the governor 5 power to do so.
 In regard to the establishment of four agricultural schools, the gov ernor explained that everything could not be done at once, and de- clared that the machinery which will start the work of establish ing the schools will be set in mo- ton as soon as possible, probably within the next 60 days.
 The governor declared that "these people who are opposing me and trying to get you to turn against me do not dare to tell you the reason why"
 Many of those who heard the speech emphatically declared that it was one of the most impressive and forceful the governor has ever delivered. He was frequently in terrupted by applause and cheering.

CHARGES AGAINST
 CLERK QUASHED

Searcy, Aug. 1.-The White county circuit court yesterday afternoon quashed the indictment returned by the grand jury Mon day against Circuit Clerk Mark P. Jones, charging him with felony.
 The four indictments for misde- meanor against Jones were contin ued over until the next term. It is understood, however, that they will be quashed, as both tue felo- ny and misdemeanor indictments were based on an error made in paying four witnesses in two crim- inal cases which were tried the same day.
 The defendant in the Jones case eutered demurrer against the in- dictments and the circuit court sustained the demurrer and quashed the felony indictment.
 It was alleged that Jones paid four witnesses for service in one criminal suit and that his deputy paid them for service ill another criminal suit on the same day. It is said that neither knows of the others entry and that double entry or double payment for wit ness service on the same day is violation of the law.
 The felony indictment was based on the certifying to the county court Of the double payment of witnesses and the misdemeanor in- dictments for the double entry in the two cases.
 Following the quashing of the indictment for felony MT. Jones was reinstated in his office and his deputy Raymond Jones was again made deputy. Raymond Jones had been appointed clerk after Mark P. Jones had been suspe nded.

DECISION TODAY
 NOT PROBABLE

Little Rock, Aug. 4.-No de- cision is expected today in the petition of the state capitol con- mission for a writ of prohibition to force Chancellor Martineau to keep hands off the work which has been going on at the new state capitol. The argument yes terday afternoon was made by Judge George B Rose for the con- mission. Associate Justices Hart and Frauenthal were not present
 in the morning, so tue hearing could not take place until after noon. It was agreed the sideH should take an hour and hal each for argument. The state dl- vided this between Judge Rose and Gen. w. F. Kirby. Judge John w. Blackwood took all of the time for the opposition. The closing was left for Gen. Kirby. The state is arguing as in the lower court, that the suit is one against the state. Judge Blackwood is also using the same argument he did in the chancery court. He refers to the commissioners as tresspassers aud says the suit is not one against the state. Gen. Kirby argues the state has the right to discharge the contractors and force them to go to the legislature for redress.
 JudgeWood the remaining mem- Der of the court, questioned Judge Rose considerably yesterday and this has given rise to the impres-

the state president, John Bowers of Lonoke, yesterday afternoon, was a lengthy address by President G H. Hightower of the Mississippi state unioE, who urged the organ ization of S5o, 900, 900 corpora ton by the farmers to handle and finance the entire cotton crop. The annual report of Secretary Treasurer M. F. Dickinson of Con- way was then read. Secretary Dickinson strongly urges the re establishment of the lecture bu reau, attributing the decline in membership during the first part of the year to a lack of lecturers. The executive committee, he re- ports, saw the need of the lecturers and succeeded in placing some in the field, which, with an immense amount of literature sent out from the secretarys office, had had the effect of bringing back many mem- bers and the membership is again growing. The financial condition of the state union was reported in good shape.
 Alter the legislative committee report had been read, President Bowers announced the committees and the union adjourned until this morning.

Little Rock, Aug, 4.-When the Dill jury stayed out nearly three hours yesterday evening before go ing out to supper, without report ing verdict, it became evident to those intere sted the jury was dead locked. The case was given to the jury at 3:2o, Prosecuting Attorney Campbell completing his argument at :, o'clock. The jury then re- tired and deputy sheriffs kept the crowds away from the room i'll which the body was deliberating. When the jury wen. out for sup per last night it was reported five ballots had been taken, but there was no way of learning how the jury stood. Judge Lea stayed about the court until late, with the expectation of receiving verdict. When he saw there was no indica- ton of the jury arriving at an agreement, he announced he would return if there was verdict up to midnight, but after that he wonld not come down before morning. It is freely predicted the jury will not reach a verdict, i'll which case Judge Lea will probably order another jury and try the case over again.

MASHBURN UNDER FIRE
Resigns Superintendency Deaf
 Mute Institute.
Wife Has Filed Suit for Divorce, but At- torneys Refuse to Divulgs
 Alleged Grounds

Little Rock, Aug 4.-Quite a sensation was sprung yesterday afternoon when it was made known that Prof. A. G. Mashburn, for number of years superintendent of the Arkansas Deaf Mute institute, had resigned and the institution turned over to Isaac B. Gardner, his successor, by the state board of charitable institutions. Prof. Mashburn has left the city, going to some point unknown last week. At the same time it became known Mrs. Mashburn had instituted a suit for divorce in chancery court, which will come up for trial before the end of the month. No response is anticipated from the defense.
 Supt. Mashburn did not become a candidate for reelection this year when the board met to select superintendent for the institution. He had talked matters over thor oughly with the board and when it was announced that the appropria- ton for the Deaf-Mute Institute was to be cut and the school hold but six months of the year, Supt.
 Mashburn stated be could not get along in harmony with the board and his name was not considered. Prof. Isaac B. Gardner, a former instructor at the institute, and room mate of Prof. Mashburn, who was then an assistant superinten- dent in New York deaf mute school, was elected. Prof. Gard ner came to Little Rock a month or so ago and was in readiness to take charge of the school at any time but the term of Supt. Nash burn did not terminate until Oct ober I.
 For sometime there have been rumors of divorce suit to be filed by Mrs. Mashburn, but when the papers were filed they were imme- diately withdrawn from chancery court to keep the case from the public. Attorneys for Mrs. Mash burn have the papers now and re. fuse to divulge the grounds upon which the plaintiff alleges she is entitled to divorce. A number of times during his superintendency charges were made with the state board of charities of misconduct on the part of Supt. Mashburn with young women inmates of the iu- sttution. The charges were never fully maintained. Prof. Mashburn graduated from the Arkansas Uni versity law school in the spring and 1t is surmised he has gone to some state far away to begin the practice of law.
 The state board of charities re- ceived the resignation Monday morning and passed upon it yes terday afternoon. instructing Supt. Gardner that his term began with that day instead of October I.

GOVERNOR
 MAKES HIT
 WITH UNION

Little Rock, Aug. 4.-Behind closed doors, the State Farmers Union spent this morning listening to and discussing the reports of the delegates to Washington and At lanta, the managers of the fruit and cotton bureaus and the lecturers, clearing most of the business out of the way in time for the annual election of officers, which was scheduled to begin before the noon adjournment.
 The address of Governor Dona- yesterday made a decided hit with the delegates and has been gen eral topic of discussion among the union men. In it's report of the governors speech the Gazette this morning says:
 He emphasized the weight of the burden ot administrative duties. He declared that he was a friend of the farmer. In reference to the four agricultural school proposition which has been heartily endorsed by the union, he stated that he would start the schools or at leas t make arrangements for them as soon as possible. He said that it is hard tc perform the duties of governor, but that 1t is his inten-

SAVING LOSS OF LETTERS.
Suggestion of Value Made by AssIs-
tant Postmaster General.

More that II 100000 pieces OF mail
went astray in these United States
last year because they were not di-
rected even well enough for the ex-
perts to decipher the names and ad-
dresses.
Millions of this immense total went
to the dead letter Office, where a lot of
1t was opened, the addresses of the
writers ascertained and the letters or
packages returned. But in a good
many cases the writer's address is
never found and the letter is really
dead" when neither the sender nor
the prospective receiver can be dis
covered.
Assistant Postmaster General De
Graw wants to get people in the habit
Of writing their own addresses on the
outside Of envelopes. This, he says,
would save trouble for all hands, as
the letter, If defective in address.
could be returned at once to the
writer. This simple precaution would
save many piece Of mail from an
early death and burial in the dead let

THE COMMON COW
Former Dairy Commissioner {. K.
Slater Says She'sNOt AItogeth-
er a poor Investment

E. K. Slater, former State Dairy.
and Food Commissioner, ina recent
letter in the Northwestern Agricultu-
rist, has the following opinions to ex-
press relative to the common COW:
although it is fact that the aver
age COW upon our farms does not pro-
duce one-half as much butter as
good dairy COW will produce when
properly cared for, it is not fair to
this average cow to say that she has
been poor investment for our far
mers. Had it not been for her the
great northwest would not be known
as a butter producing section. Had it
not been for her our farmers would
still be raising wheat and failing to
raise the mortgages on their farms.
"This common COW is the pioneer in
dairying; she makes it possible for the
farmer who knows little about dairy
practice to engage in butter produc-
tion and taste of its advantages over
grain production alone. She has made
the modern local creamery possible,
aud, above all, she has made it posi-
BILE for our farmers to at least par
italy maintain the fertility of their
land. She is poor COW and mighty
good COW, depending upon the point
of view. Compared with the COW that
is capable of producing twice or three
times as much butter in a year this
common cow suffers exceedingly, but
when compared with no COW at all she
can not fail to be appreciated. She
has made dairying possible and she is
entitled to all the credit.
"Her butter product is worth about
$40 year, according to present prices.
1t costs $50 to feed her for a year.
Her owner gets profit of $40 and
gets paid for his labor in the value of
the by-products. Pretty good invest
ment after all, isn't it? She furnishes
a market for whole lot of roughage
upon the farm that would not find
profitable marker if it were not for
her and her like.
"It is wrong to condemn this COM
mon COW. She is not deserving of
condemnation, she has done too much
for us. The owner should be en-
couraged to take better care of her
and to improve her, substituting
better cow when he isqualitied to take
care of a better COW. This common
COW is doing more right now for her
owner than her owner is doing for her.
She is capable of trebling the profits
which her owner is getting from her,
but he doesn't know it. Either this
or he doesn't want the money. Why
urge him, then, to get better COW?
She is too good for him. What he
needs is realization of the money he
is losing by not taking proper care Of
her. This is the first step, and step
that he must take in ordor to become
a better dairyman. He must first
learn how to get maximum returns
from the common COW. With such
knowledge will come an awakening to
the possibilities of dairying and then
he will not be satisfied until he is get
ting maximum returns from real
dairy cow. But even when this result
is reality he should not forget to
give proper credit to the COW that was
responsible-thee common cow"

LESS THAN HALF MAeYARs.
This Race, However, Is Dominant in
Hungarian Government.


Hungarian Government.
Hungary is too often regarded as a
national state like France or Germany.
In reality it is one of the most poly
glot states in existance, says the Lon
don Spectator, and the greatest of its
kings took as his motto: "Unius
linguae regnum imbesille ct fragile
est" Out of a population of 100000
only As per cent are Magyars, and
even that proportion includes a large
Jewish element and the converts of all
the other races. Croatia, whose auton-
omous parliament supplies an eloquent
proof of the perils of home rule, ac-
counts for slightly over 100000. The
reminder is composed in ronnd num-
bers of 100000 Germans, 100000
Slovaks, 3,0O0,0 900 Roumanians, 10000
Serbo-C -Croats, 100000 Ruthenes and q
number of smaller racial units with
which we need not confuse the issue.
But while in numbers Magyar and
non Magyar are almost equally bal
anced, Magyar is, of course, the state
language, the language of the central
parliament and the county assemblies,
of justice and administration, of state
schools and Roman Catholic semi
naries.
Though 40 per cent of the popula-
tion can not speak it, its knowledge is
a necessary qualification for all admin
istrative and official posts, from the
head of a department to a railway
porter, and in districts where the non
Magyars form IS per cent or more the
business of the local courts is conduct
ed in the dominant tongue. State edu-
cation is exclusively Magyar, though
this is not in accordance with the
fundamental laws of 1868, and even
the subsidies granted to non-Magyar
confessional schools have control ant
Magyarization as their Interior aims.
The country assemblies are still semi
feudal in their mode of election, which
is so contrived as to secure a perma-
nent majority for the mobiles and the
towns-in other words, for the two
chief Magyar elements.
Thus the Magyars and those who
profess themselves as Magyars (theiI
language, be it observed, is Incapable
of the all-important distinction be-
tween Magyar" and Hungarian
have a complete monopoly in almost
every branch of public life, and this
monopoly, coupled with the vagueness
of the press laws and the absence OF
the free right of assembly and associa'
ton, affords some scope for the oppres.
sion of those who cling to their nation
ality.

VINTAGE OF PORT IMMENSE.
Good Wine So Plentiful That Poorer
Quantities May Not BE Exported. p

GOOD wine 90 FloNtIGt Dat Voof"
Quantities May Not BE Exported. r.
Such a glut of wine has been accu-
mulated in Portugal, owing to succes-
sion of good years in al the vintage
provinces, that growers OF the cheap
er class of wines have been unable TO
find a market by offering their product
under true description.
Certain of the growers have accord
ingly, a Lisbon correspondent teie-
graphs, resorted to the expedient OF
exporting these wines after adultera-
tive treatment under fraudulent de-
scriptions. This, Of course, brings
great injury to exporters Of genuine
port. So great Is the evil that the
Portuguese government has decided to
try and end it by submitting proposals
to the cortes FOR commercial conven-
tions with foreign countries as to Gus
tom house duties for prohibition OF the
export of any but the best Douro VIM
tase from the northern seaports, for
strict supervision of the purity OF ALL
exported wines and limitation Of the
area of vineyards.
Reports from other countries show
that the French wine harvest Is yield
ling one-fifth less in quantity, the
Rhine and Moselle vineyards three
fifths less and the Algerian vineyards
one-fifth less Quality in all places is
exceptionally good. Prices will there
fore probably rise.
The 1906 wine is the best since tho
famous 1893 crop.
