Since then Hooper has been making his home elsewhere in the city. After suit for divorce had been brought by Mrs. Hooper the court yesterday afternoon ordered that Hooper pay her an alimony twice month.

According to the officers Hooper then fled, and as he did so his father-in-law secured a pistol and fired three times at him. The off, cers were called to the scene, but up until late hour last night nothing had been seen of him. It is believed that he left the city immediately af- ter the trouble.
 Hooper was employed at the Cotton Belt shops as night car inspector His reputation as bad man extends for number of years back, but the officers are determined to turn him over to the law for this offense if he stays on terra firma

Llttle ROCK, sept. 9.-(Special to the Graphic)-Colonel w. J. Bryan addressed 10000 in the City Park here tonight and was given the big gest ovation of his present tour. He endorsed the action of President Roosevelt in refusing to attend ban quet and seat himself at the same table with Senator Lorimer. Five thousand people met the special train at Union Station.
 The strenuous day of yesterday, when Colonel w. J. Bryan, who is touring the state on the Bryan Dona- ghey special converting thousands to the Initiative and Referendum amend ment, told on him today and because his throat gave him so much trouble the number of speeches were cut down and his time at each stop les sened. Notwithstanding the great difficulty with which the distinguish ed Nebraskan spoke, he managed to hold his own everywhere and the ova- tions accorded him along the route were even greater than those of Thursday, when he addressed nearly fifty thousand voters.
 Almost Wreck.
 The special started the day from Camden, the first stop, running be- hind schedule and was set back fifty minutes further at Gurdon, when the rear drivers of the engine left the track, while new engine was back ing in the ''Y' to pick up the spe- cial. After that the special moved swiftly, but was considerably behind the schedule at every stop After the delay at Gurdon the open meet ings were called off at Prescott, Hope and Philadelphia, but when the train reached these places the reception committee hurried the Bryan party to the places where the speakings were advertised, all of them being near the stations, and Colonel Bryan was re- ceived by thousands at each place.
 It seemed to be visiting day on the special for all day men of promin- ence joined the party at each stop. Judge Hays joined the party early in the morning at Camden and went as far as Gurdon. Senator R. L. Mont gomery, of Lafayette county got aboard at Prescott and will finish the trip. Editor w. w. Turner got on the special at Hope, coming from Nashville. F.; w. Broadnax, of Cam den, chairman of the executive com mittee of the Farmers Union, was added to the train list at Prescott; M. w. Greeson and P. F. Chappell were taken on at Hope and went as far as Little Rock. Senator J. F. Hughes, of the Seventeenth fenator- ial District, joined the party at Ar kadelphia
 Loaded With Flowers.
 The Pullman cars of the special had the appearance of flower gar dens today At many stations the Commoner and Governor Donaghey were presented with magnificent bou- quets. At Camden Judge Smith and family sent two large floral pieces to the train and at Gurdon little Miss Glendine Blakeney handed Colonel Bryan a bouquet when he concluded his speech at the rear of the Pullmai platform. At Hope the stand from which Colonel Bryan spoke was hid den from view with profusion of cotton blooms, mammoth stalks being used in the decorations.

Chicago, Sept. 9.-The strike of 44,000 coal miners in Illinois, which was settled yesterday, is estimated to have cost the miners $12,00O, 900 in wages.
 The loss to the operators during the five months shut down is plac- ed at $15,0OO,OO0.
 The annual production of coal in Illinois amounts to 50,O00,000 tons and the shortage this year, due to the strike, will be in the neighbor- hood of 20,000,O00 tons.

Agreement Was Reached in Kansas City to be
 Signed Today.
WON BY THE STRIKERS
3O,OOO Men Wbo Have Been Out Since Last April Will Resume Work
 Monday.

Little Rock, Sept. 9-The coal min CTS strike, which has been on since April 1 last in the southwestern dis trict, was adjusted yesterday,
 Conferences which have been held from time to time in Kansas City between the operators and the miners Iculminated yesterday when an agree ment was reached which will mean an immediate resumption of work
 This means that 30000 miners who have been out since the first of April in Arkansas. Oklahoma and Missouri will again enter the mines to replen- ish the coal supply, which has been greatly reduced during this protract- ed period of idleness.
 The counties in Arkansas affected by the settlement, are Sebastian. Johnson, Logan, Franklin and Van Buren,
 The strikers gain every point that they had demanded, being an increase of 3 cents a ton on the mining scale and 5.55 per cent increase on all oth- CT mining work.
 Local dealers declare that this in crease in wages will mean an ad- vance of 9 to 50 cents a ton in the retail price of coal here.
 It is also stated that this action will have tendency to obviate the threatened coal famine in Little Rock although it is feared a possible car shortage may cut short the supply. It is therefore most important that coal supplies be laid in without further delay.
