Come To Pocahontas July 4th and 5th
A New Cashier
At Frisco Depot
Hiram Stephens of HariyeIl Was
Checked in First of
the Week

There seems to have been a mum
Der of changes at the freight depot
at this place here lately. Only a
short time ago Geo. Lewis was
transferred to the agency at Walnut
Ridge and Geo. Turner was checked
in cashier and Taid Hughes was
given a position as clerk. They
wanted to promote George Turner
recently by giving him an agency
at less pay than what he was get
ting and he naturally refused it.
They then sent Hiram Stephens
from Harviell to this place and
checked him in as cashier and put
George in his old position. Taid
Hughes has quit and will in all
probability be sent to Walnut
Ridge to assist Geo. Lewis at that
place.

ed down by State Chairman Nugent
to talk these matters over" One Of
the results of this conference was the
agreement to name Hattabaugh for
insurance commissioner His APP
pointment is expected to negative the
opposition to the appointment of Rich
as immigration commissioner, as Hat
tabaugh has been a rampant anti
Norman, being one of the few who
desired ACKNOWLEDGMENT, and his son,
Rees NJ. Hattabaugh, being one of
those who during the Stockslager
campaign, went into the southeast
and joined in the movement to chal-
'enge all Norman voters who might
appear to cast ballot, claiming they
were already disfranchised under the
constitution and under their religious
beliefs. He is one of the oldtimers
of the state.
Gray of Blaine county, who has
| the promise of the game wardenship,
has long been a prominent figure in
democratic politics in the state. He
| was deputy state treasurer for a
time under State Treasurer l.. G. Rice
during the second term of Governor
Steunenberg. He has at various
times been sheriff and assessor of
| Blaine county, and is now city mar
shall of HALEY. Under the old con-
vention system, he was never known
to be absent from a state convention
and was always considered one of the
powers in all conventions.
V. w. Plat of Occur d'Alene, is
known as friend and partisan of Will
lam Dollar, the Occur d'Alene banker
and politician, at whose instance the
appointment is alleged to have been
made.
F. A. Mccall of Occur d'Alene, is
a lieutenant colonel of the state mi,
titan and democrat. Both these
appointments were made after a
conference of Kootenai democrats had
been called to indorse men for two
positions. 1t is stated that the meet
