About Big Leagues.

II is no cinch to be a manager in
the big leagues. This is shown be-
yond dispute by the fact that during
the past six seasons no less than
Iorty-one men have held the manager
lal reins in tle sixteen clubs COM
prismg the National and American
leagues In fact during the six years
IRON 1903 to 1909, but four managers
nave held their positions continuous
~ They are John McGraw of the
GIANTS; Fred Clarke of the Pirates in
the National league; Connie Mack of
the Athletics and Jimmy McAleer of
the St Louis Browns, in the American
league
OF these four McAleer's position IS
PROBABLY the most peculiar. He left
Cleveland as a manager in 1901 to join
hands with Bob Hedges in st. Louis
Waen the American league invaded
that town. McAleer started in at
81. Louis with bunch of stars. but

Want Special Policemen.

Inc letter came like bolt from a

among the followers of the evangelist.
Every man of the staff promptly for
tlfled himself with a revolver which is
carried night and day. Application
mas been made to Chief of Police Rice
10 nave all the men who are with Mr..
sunday sworn in as special policemen.
Mr.. Sunday believes the plot re-
vealed through this timely warning is
backed by The saloon element of
Springfield, H. He says:
Springfield is now facing a CITY
election which will determine whether
the city Is to stay wet or go drv.,
am sure that this has been arranged
by certain members Of the saloon ele.
ment. who would stop at nothing in
an attempt to keep me from getting
there and holding revivals Just before
the election. The Springfield saloon
people are arranging big fight
against me, but | can hardly conceive
how they would dare attempt this.
The fiendishness of the plot is
shown in the fact that they are send
ing to Spokane to kill me rather than
killing ME in Illinois. They know
only too well that to attempt my life
in that section would act as boone
rang and would arouse such sympathy
that their cause would be lost and
would sweep the saloons at once from
the state of Illinois. But to have it
done in Spokane would cause no sus-
picion that the forces back there were
with it. Please do not give

him into trouble. You may publish

GOVERNOR IS CONGRATULATED
Tax Commission Appointments
 Please People.
Failure of Legislature to Make Appropria- tion Circumvented-Dr Moore
 an Appointee.

Little Rock. May I7.-Almost swamped with congratulations as to the character of men appointed on the state tax commission, has been Governor c. w. Donaghey today. Not only do the messages state the governor has made a wise selection, but he is also being commended for his selection oI Judge William A. Falconer of Fort Smith, as a member of the Arkan- sas railroad commission to succeed J. F.. Hampton, who has been ap- pointed as chairman of the tax commission.
 It is the general opinion the gov. ernor could have secured no better men than J. F.. Hampton, Dr. Avery F.. Moore and David A.. Gates, for the appointments. All of them are we'll known men in Arkansas and have for a number of years been prominent ill the af- fairs of the state. Col. Hampton has been connected with the Ark ansas Railroad Commission for a number of years. Dr. Moore was for I2 years connected with the office of the state auditor, and David A. Gates has been for many years a revenue agent of the gov ernment. Rufus F. Daniel, cor poration clerk in the office of Sec retary of State Ludwig, will Le the clerk of the commission.
 The commissioners will them selves supply the money with which to maintain the commission until the next session of the legis lature. This plan is another in- stance of the Donaghey far sighted ness and ability to cope with a sit nation when it comes to a climax It was drought failure of the legislature to provide a fund for the maintenance of the commission would prevent its working for at least two years, and the corpora tions would be free for that length of time from increased taxation, but Governor Donaghey immedat- ely went to work upon plan by which the commission could i'm mediately go to work and let the next legislature settle the bill. In this manner the state will receive thousands of dollars in taxation it would lose if the commission wait ed two years more to act.

SCHOOL ELECTION VOTE LIGHT
Seven Mills and Superintendent
 cy Voted in Conway.
Few Rural Districts Have Reported to County Clerk and Question of Super
 intendency is in Doubt.

Light votes were the rule, both in Conway and the few rural dis tricts which have reported, in Sat urdays school election. The question of county superintendent cy, about which there has been considerable agitation, seems not to have brought many voters to the polls, and it will probably not be known for several days whether the county has decided to adopt superintendency.
 There being no opposition to Directors A. J. Witt and $. F.. Anderson and no contest over the tax, only I62 votes were cast i'll the Conway district. Only two voted againt tax, four for five mills and the remainder for seven mills. The vote follows:
 First Ward-Witt 20, Anderson 26; for 7 mills 24, for 5 mills I; against tax I; for superintendency 6, against 20.
 Secon l Ward-Witt 52, Ander son 52; for 7 mills 52; for superin- tendency 45 against 6.
 Third Ward-Witt S3, Ander- son S4; for 7 mills 75, for 5 mill 5, against tax I; for superintendency 7I, against 9.
