p1ace filled, as it was, with 10000 peo- !fle. the same wild enthusiasm for
 A-R-k- -.A-N-S-A-S was shown. Every where it was the same.
 At Omaha Mayor James Dahlman and those live Omaha boosters took of their hats to the Arkansas on Wheels" party and wanted to know how it was that they had to be set a pace by Arkansas.
 The entire 2,1:0 miles was one con- tinuous ovation, and those who went
 0 nthe trip met in joint session before
 disbanding and voted it to be the
 greatest, grandest and most enjoyable trip of their lives, with not one single complaint or fault to find.
 Before reaching Little Rock, on re- turn. the matter of making the Ark
 ansas on Wheels permanent yearly proposition was taken up and an or
 ganization was effected with Dr. J,
 R. Grammar. of Searcy, as president | w. F. Adams, Philadelphia, vice pres ident: Wm F. Folsom. Brinlzley, sec tfetary and treasurer: D. s. Constan- tine Brinkley. advertising manager and corresponding secretary.
 | The organization, as outlined. is to be a stock company, with S10,O00 cap lital, and shares at $25.0 0per share. Everywhere the train showed, there
 was the same apparent surprise at Ar
 kansas wonderful progress, and great
 sagacity at showing the doubters. Tn Des Moines and Omaha there
 was wonderful spirit of progress that has brought these cities to the attention of the outside world, but at both of these places hats were doff- ed to Arkansas for having wheeled into the enemy's country in deiib- crate plan to entiee away their busi- ness capital and citizenship. Said
 Mayor Dahlman, of Omaha, to Mir.
 Folsom: This is ONE better than even
 Omaha. We've been thinking that
 for real live spirit that we of Omaha
 set the pace for alt: but not so with
 Arkansas You people are showing us
 a great State, wonderful and aston
 ishing spirit, and my hat goes off to you' It is needless to say that after such a graceful compliment from May or Dahlman that he was not allowed
 to leave the Arkansas on Wheels
 train without being loaded down with rice and red apples.

Just About Town

Said our clever and highly esteemed neighbor. w. H. Mclean on Monday: T want to shake your hand and con- graduate you on putting across Ar kansas on Wheels It's the biggest thing for Arkansas ill many q day. Had | have known it I would gladly have taken a ticket in order to have helped you along in your good work. I'm thankful to friend Mclean for his kind sentiment, for l know he meant it, and, in this connection, II Brinkley was crowded with citizens of the Billy Mclean type, we would move things in Brinkley, and there'd be a better town.
 Frank Fedderer, the rice and realty man who moved here from Wisconsin to make his permanent home some months ago, says Arkansas is coming to the front fast but nothing that has happened will bring such results as the recent showing given by the Ar kansas on Wheels train. We or Brinkley must hook. up and pull to- gether or else we cant get our share

before he started on his murderous
mission, he told his wife that he was
going 10 kill MANU-. and asked her to
register for him while he was away,
SO that he could subsequently, prove IN
'alibi. He gave her the key to the time
register and she worked it for him.
The fact that Grace was regularly
registered, every half-hour through the
night of the murder was the great diff
