The Hotel Jefferson is a mass of bunting. national em- blems, flags and official colors of the two state organizations and the fronts of many stores have been covered with elaborate displays of similar kind. The interior of the various downtown establishments are not be- ing overlooked in this direction
 Among the prettiest displays all ready made are those at the Murphy Martin Company, Voss-Nichol Com pany, the Ed Levine and Company, Home Insurance Company and Fox Brothers on Main street. The inter- for of the Isaac Dreyfus Company department store, Seawells pharmacy and Rosenbergs are also attracting much attention. It was stated yes terday that almost every building in the city is to be decorated and it is desired by the committee on decora- tion that every merchant show his patriotism by decorating.
 County Judge Gould stated yester- 1 day that no fund had been set aside 1 by the County Levying Court for dec orative purposes and ill all probabil- 1 ity the Jefferson county court house will be the only building not decorated. A it faces Main street from the North 1 there is opportunity for an elaboratH
 display of colors there, and it is to 1 be regretted that no decorations will 1 be seen on the big structure. There i is some talk among the county off
 cials of donating to a fund to be used in decorating the building. Band
 stands are being erected in the busi-
 ness section for the recommendation
 and comfort of the many musical or
 ganizations that are to attract the convention.

FORT SMITH HAS
 A GOLD BRICK
Miserable Exhibition of Ball Playing on the Part of the Border City Club -Only Flashes of Ability.

Little Rock, May 27.-Someone is palming gold brick off on Fort Smith in the way of baseball and from the exhibition given by the al legged team in Argenta today there is no occasion for wonder at the lowly position of the team. Speaking candilly, it appears as though Fort Smith is being made the butt end of a false pretense case. The border city, always a good baseball town, has this year evidently fallen into the hands of the Phillistinea. A goodly sum was raised by the merchants there to keep team in the league for the season, and a bunch of al leged players is living we'll and wax ing fat off this fund. without giving the loyal fans even run for their money. Argenta won 16 to 1. and had the players desired to do so, the score could have almost been doubled but the home players ceased trying to run out hits. The Fort Smith team resembled brakeman's picnic, and all hands seemed to be out for a good time. Flashes of ability were shown. and there seemed to be about four workers on the team. but the balance never once exerted them selves or undertook in any way to give support to Krutchens, who strated to pitch and gave way to Vit- ter when the game was hopelessly lost. The alleged players fumbled the easiest of chances and instead of running up on fly balls. ran back from them. They even went so far as to try and stop balls with their feet instead of hands. It was miser- able exhibition, given by a miserable bunch of loafers. Fort Smith de- serves better from the alleged players who are drawing the best and surest pay in the league

stewart, Night Chief of Police Ed Francis, Jailer Jack Holland and others appeared before the inauisi- torlal body and were questioned re- sarding the identity of members of the party of nearly three hundred who lynched Davis Judge Grace, Who remained with the lvnchers for nearly an hour pleading for law and order, may be called Friday to testify
 The nature of the testimony sub- mitted in the grand jury room has not leaked out It is understood that the graund jurors asked for the names Of some of the mob, but the officers are reported to have informed them that they knew their faces, but did not know them by name. The jail was in total darkness when the at tack was made and except for the oc- caslonal lighting of d match to ald the men who were tearing away a brick wall and breaking down steel doors. the efforts of the officers to identify any of the mob proved un- successful. Later, while Davis. was being pullt q to his death on a tele- phone pole, several thousand inca resent light were burning for few minutes
 It is stated that many subponeas are to be issued by the grand jury for men, who are reported to have participated in the lynching.

PIV[R TO CREST AI FLOOD STAGE ,ri11 Reach Highest Point of present Freshet at g
 Feet Friday.
THE BANKS ARE SAFE
..Epoins in Western Watershed and situation Shows Much Improve
 ment at Fort Smith.

The river situation is somewhat improved, according to up-river re- norts received at the Little Rock weather bureau yesterday. What at me time promised to be a serious and damaging stage now looks as though # would reach only flood stage at this point, although it ir expected to exceed the flood water mark at Fort Smith and Dardanelle.
 The stages yesterday morning reg istered:
 Fort Smith, 26,4, a rise of two feet since Wednesday morning.
 Dardanelle, 22.5. a rise of 3.5 feet since Wednesday.
 Little Rock, 20.4. a rise of 5.1 feet in g hours.
 Pine Bluff, 200 feet, a rise of 4.3 feet.
 The river was expected to crest at Fort Smith Thursday, at a stage of nearly ? feet. At Dardanelle a fur ther rise of one foot was expected be- fore the crest of the flood is, reached At Little Rock the river is expected E to reach flood stage on Friday, at g ]. feet but indications are that the wat ]. CT will not exceed flood stage at Lit tie Rock.
 ic ole So stage of p feet at Pine Bluff on '~f'riday, and win probably crest at about this stage.
 An encouraging feature is the fact that there have been no further rains in the Western Watershed, and all the flood water expected to pass Arkan- sas points is now in sight.
 Section Director Alcatore at Lit 2 tie Rock, as in other cases of high water, has been kept busy at the tele- phone for several days past, answer ing questions as to the stage and giv- ing out river predictions to anxious planters in this section of the State.
 One of the regular patrons of the weather bureau in the matter of reai- lngs and predictions said to the sec tlon directory yesterday:
 These flood warnings are certainly appreciated by the farmers and plant CTS in this section of Arkansas. 1t Is our only method of warning as to the probable stage of the liver. and means much to the planters in the Ar kansas valley"
 All day yesterday crowds of inter- ested planters and others lined to the banks of the river at this place Viewing the rushing waters, which are still rising here. No danger is felt here from the approaching high water, as the banks in front of Pint Bluff have been pronounced safe by the government engineers, at least until the "June rise" passes down the river. The sandbar on the opposite side of the river is fast disappearing from view and by this morning it is
