IS '%lNSURGENT' NOW
ELECTED TO LEGISLATURE, HE
WILL TAKE REVENGE ON
MISSOURI PACIFIC RAIL-
ROAD FOR DlSCHARG.
y, ING HIM.

st. Louis. Mott won't be house
bill No. 1 because l will let some
ardent home ruler from the country
put in that bill, but my bill to regu-
late passenger fares will be the first
to reach the governor" William II.
Phelps announced.
81 put it into the Democatie plat
form that some railroads in Missou-
ri sell local tickets at two and a halt
cents a mile, while others charge
three cents, and the latter class
class must be made to sell as low as
their competitors"
. Once He Was a Lobbyist.
"Biu" Phelps, chief lobbyist for
the Missouri Pacific and the railroads
of the state general. in the role OF
the peoples friend will make an in
teresting member of the legislature,
1t was Phelps who told a Cole County
grand jury that he could not afford
to comply with the request that he
furnis ha list Of the passes he had
given members of the legislature in
violation of the law within two years.
He was asked why, and his answer
was:
81 haven't money enough to pay
the fines.'
He is a millionaire, but he told the
truth, for in the old days Phelps
laughed at law just as in that case he
joked the grand jury out of pressing
him for information.
lAept the Legislature Busy.
Ably he served the railroads., the
telegraph companies, the liquor in
terests, or whoever feared legislation
in the interest of the public. One ses-
sion after another he loaded the leg
islature with bills to give. the rail-
road commissioners more power,
knowing that the railroad commits
sioners would do nothing. In one
session III actually kept the railroad
committee of the two houses busy
with railroad bills until one day when
one of ~ bills was up for final pas
sage in the house Matt Hall of Saline
arose an announced.
we have passed in this session
thirty railroad bills, every one of
which was an old law already on the
statute books. Bill Phelps has kept
is busy enacting laws that We're al
ready in force, and don't purpose
TO. waste, any morestime on his bills"
/: But. Phelps is sincere in his refor-
nation SO far as the Missouri Pacific
Is. CONCERNED. His connection with
the company was severed a year ago
when his rival became the head Of its
legal department and his political
enemies became its political advisers:
Since the federal court held against
the state in: the 2-cent far cases the
Could lines controlled by the Missouri
Pacific have. charged three cents a
mile for local tickets, but sold tickets
between Kansas City and ST. Louis in
competition with the Chicago & AL
ton and Burlington which have made
money selling. tickets at two and one
half cents o. the main lines and three
cents on bronch lines.
Phelps will insist that the proposed
law fixig the rate at two and one-half
cents a mile on all roads shall bear
his name If for no other reason in or
der that the Gould family may know
that he is still lalive and not without
influence in Missouri. >.
Nobody can afford to vote, against
a good bill like mine he. said. 1.-THE
legislature ought to 'pas sthat bill
with the emergency clause

which is al organization in the in
~terests OF the people of the rural COM
munities. The principles OF scientific
farming. of the management of the
dairy and the home and the needs OF
the social life of the community are
subjects for discussion. 1t is not
only a practical, but a social organ
ization in it's meeting the needs OF
the community. Young people above
the age of fourteen may be admitted
into it's membership.
Speaking of Lyman county Mr.. Ma
lone said that within a few years
with scientific methods of farming it
will produce as large crops as the
land east of the Missouri in Iowa.
Through the Grange scientific meth
DDS of Farming are studied. The
Grange organization was initiated in
Washington some forty or fifty years
ago, the Hon. James Wilson, secre-
tary of agriculture, being one of the
leaders. The Grange has a place for
women, side by side with the men
and is also Interested in their work.
Mr.. Rooseyelt's recommendations re-
%specting. the farm life of the country
were based upon the suggestions of
the Grange. --e present Grange

influence with officer elected as gov
ernor Of the state.
The Organization will meet on the

a large influx of farmers the organ
ization can be made a most effective
means in the development of the
farms and the farm life of the COM
munity.

DEQUEEN "FUDGED"
You Last Game in Il Innings, But Run in Three League Players
 to Do If.

DeQueen won the last of the series of three games with the MenaMerchants' team Wednesday Y oy score of 9 10 6, but, consid ,ring the story of the game as told by our boys, it was more
 han bad luck that lost them the game.
 To start the game Mena put Allen in to pitch. He was knock d out of the box in the first in 1ing and was retired after 5 runs nad been scored against hin Cecil was put iu, and for nine iu nings not one of the enemy was able to get across the home plate. Ia the meantime Mena bad scared five. and was deuied the six h {, which would have won the game oy the hardest kind of a deal, Cecil made what was conceded to be a clean home-run hit, but the ball was picked up by lady spec tator, who tossed it to the fielder in time to cut off the run. The umpire did not see the play, and ruled the runner out. Had this run gone m Mena would have won at the end of the ninth inuing. As 1t was, Cecil tired in the elev- enth inning, his 18th in two days, and the winning runs were scored against our boys. This was pure hard luck, but there's another feature of different sort. The De Queen boys are said to have agreed to play their regular team only, but, after losing one game and winning tne next by a clase margin, they are said to have imported three professional players for the last.
 The game Tuesday went to fourteen innings, instead of twelve as reported in The Star, and Cecil pitched all of them, fol- lowing up the next day with nine more without run---a most re- markable performance.
 The De Queen team expect to play Mena a return eug agement here during fair week.
 Other dates arranged for the Mena team are:
 With Rocky, at Mena, Satur- day, May 28, practice game, ad- mission Is cents.
 With Vaudervoort, at Mena, June : and 4.
 With Heavener, at Mena, June 8 and 2.
 With Ashdewn, at Ashdown, June 10 and II.

NEBRASKANS INVEST.
After Much Travel They Decide This County Presents Best 0ppor.
 tunity for Northerners.

J. l.. Horner reports the sale of two farms to well-to-do Ne braska men Wednesday.
 A. w. Humphrey purchased the Homer Bales 40 acres miles West of town, and expects to put out fine peach orchard.
 George Willing purchased l6O acres near Rocky, simply because he thought 1t good investment.
 Both gentlemen have been travelling over the South aud South western part of the United States looking for the most de- sirable country for investment to make good homes.
 They came through Mena last week and stopped off for a day and then went on South over the Kansas City Southern, as far as Port Arthur. Mena pleased them best, so they returned and in- vested.
 They went on to their Nebras' ka homes that night, but expect to return to make more invest ments, and will probably bring others from that State, who, like them, are looking for chance te get away from the northern win ters and yet not get into the ma laria and mosquitoes.

HORSE THIEF CAUGHT
Henry Vaughn. Who Was Arrested Up- on the Charge Makes Confession
 Owner Recovers Horse.

When Charles Whitmeyer of Adair county, Ok, came to Me na several days ago ou the trail of stelen horse, he found cue east of town that looked like the one he wanted. Mir. Whitmeyer was sent here by the Anti-Horse- thief Association.
 Upon finding the horse in pos session of Henry Vaughn, who was living with his uncle on the c. w. Petty farm, five miles cast of town, he notified constable Alley Duncan, who went with him to the farm to make an in- vestigation, Vaughn told him that he had bought the animal from an Indian in Oklahoma, but Whitmeyer aud others who knew the Indian personally, say that he never owned horse in his life. When the horse stealing trouble came up, Vaughn it was said un der bond of $200 each oil mis- demeaner charges and his bonds men turned him over to the off, cers. He was placed in the coun- ty jail.
 After Whitmeyer made his trip to the Vaughn place he wired for F. c. Adair, of Stilwell, dep uty sheriff of Adair county, and he in company with SAm Heudrix, the owner of the horse, started for Mena, arriving last night.
 This morning Hendrix was standing on the street talking to the officers, when the horse was driven up by man, who was a stranger to him. He immediate ly noticed the horse and said that 1t was the one which had been stolen from him.
 When the deputy sheriff and Sam Hendrix, the owner, later went before Vaughn, he con fessed to stealing the horse and told the whole story, duplicating others in the stealing, He was ta aken to Stilwell this afternoou to await trial. The horse was put in a car today and will be taken home tonight. It is in good shape and has been well taken care for.
