FooTPADs SHOOT PLANTER.
c. M. Beavers Assaulted by Two Ne
 groes Near Menefee.

Little Rock.-Colonel c. M. Deavers, a prominent farmer, living six mles northeast of Plummerville, was shot down near Menefee by two unknown negro. footpads.
 Colonel Deavers was going to the train, when he was seen by the two negroes, who evidently mistook him for an officer. They closed in on him, talk ing his pistol away from him, but mak- ing no attempt toward further robbery. One of them ran and the other shot Col onel Deavers with his own pistol, the bullet shrinking him just above the heart and passing through his left lung.
 The shot was heard in Menefee, and citizens, upon investigation, found the farmer in what was thought to be dy- ing condition.
 He was taken to Plummerville, about four miles, and his wife and four chil- dren hastily notified. His wound was pronounced very serious.
 It is thought the negroes who made the murderous assault upon him are the same as those who robbed the stores in Conway Wednesday night of last week

 AS the passenger engine approached negro in the gang of convicts sud denly dropped the tools with which he was working and made dash toward the approaching train. The guard, sud denly awakened to activity, leveled his shotgun, loaded with buckshot, at the fleeing man and fired. Cries of pain arose from four men in the ranks of the laborers and Taylor, the white foreman, dropped to the ground, uncon- scious.
 The fleeing man darted across the railroad tracks in front of the engine and sought safety in a patch of woods short distance away. By the time the train had passed the man had dis appeared and no trace had been found of him at a late hour.

Senator Davis and Congressional Committee in Tilt Over Lands in Northeast Arkansas

The principal topic of conversation at the state house, in hotel corridors and among men of all classes during the past several days in Little Rock has been Senator Jeff Davis attitude on bill introduced in congress to quiet the title to certain sunk lands in northeast Arkansas.
 A dispatch from Washington, dated March 2, says:
 "Senator Jeff Davis of Arkansas has developed a far greater sensation than any that ever attended the deliverance of his antitrust speeches in the senate by admitting to the house committed on public lands that he was to get a good fee in case a bill which he was pressing before that committee be- came a law and then attempting to strike out the admission from the rec. ord of the hearing The committee de. nied his request that he be permitted to strike out this sentence: There is a good fee if I can recover the price of that timber
 "The bill under consideration relates to the Arkansas sunken lands, about which there has been controversy for many years, or ever since the New Madrid earthquake. The state, the government and private parties have laid claim to the lands, and the St. Francis levee board of Arkansas has been trying to clear the title. Senator
 Clarke of Arkansas appeared before the committee to deny the statement of his colleague that he (Clarke) was for the bill
 Oldfield Introduced Bill.
 "The bill in question was intro duced by Representative Oldfeld for the quieting of title to aboue 100000 acres of swamp lands in the eastern part of
 Arkansas. Oldfeld asserts he intro
 dueed the bill at the request of Senator Davis. Several days ago Senator Davis appeared before the committee in advo- cacy of the Oldfeld bill. At that time he frankly told the committee that he
 had been acting as attorney for the levee board, one of the claimants to the land, and that for his services he expected to receive a large legal fee. While the senator's bill was to recover the price of timber upon the land, it
 was necessary for him to perfect the | title to the land before he could win the | suit.
 Davis Explains Position. The senator explained his position
 by saying he thought his statement
 might be misunderstood and he desired | to strike it from the record. After the senator had been heard the committed | held an executive session lasting an hour, at which it was voted by nearly | unanimous vote that the senator E | original statement should remain in the record The senator was allowed

to them was outlined before the q z- mittee by Senator Davis. He coilteeds that under the land grant of 1850 title to thousands of acres of swamp lands in Arkansas passed to the state for the purpose of building levee. The state board ontrolling these lands was known as the St. Francis levee board. The question of the state s title to the lands was passed on by Hoke Smith when he was secretary of the interior; later by Secretary Hitchcock of the same depart ment, and in both cases it was held that the lands belonged to the state of Ar kansas. 4 Perfect Title Necessary to Win SutH
 'sThe levee board finally sold a-Mrge quantity of this land, about S0,000 acres, at $50 per acre. Some of MT. Davis friends were among the purchas- CTS. In the meantime, however, accord ing to Senator Davis, many people had begun to denude the lands of timber un- lawfully.
 q 'The St. Francis levee board, said the senator, employed me to assist the regularly employed attorney, MT. Robe- son, to bring suit against the timber thieves for the value of this timber. We brought these suits in Poinsett and Mississippi counties, and perhaps in one or two other counties
 "Senator Davis said that the timber grabbers challenged them to prove their title to the lands, and they had been unable to do that.
 "One of the best lawyers of the house said that Davis might not be tech nically liable under section 110 of the Revised Statutes, governing members of congress and their relations before executive departments and congress in promoting private claims for which they are to receive fee, yet he would be in bad morally. Again, if man had accepted fee contingent upon his getting something through congress when he was member it ought to be good ground for the body of which he is member to expel him.
 Denies He Is to Get Fee. i "Senator Davis gave out formal statement, in which he denounced as absolutely false and without founda- tion' the report that he was to get a fee in the event of the passage of the bill. He declared the bill was just and was introduced merely to quiet the title to lands bought by friends of his in For rest City from the St. Francis levet board, the purchases having been made on the strength of opinions rendered by former secretaries of the interior, Hoke Smith and Hitchcock.
 "President Roosevelt, the statement continues, agreed with the senator that the matter ought to be adjusted so tho government should not defraud innocent purchasers. Accordingly, the bill was introduced,' the statement continues, by MT. Oldfeld, at the request of Sen- ator Davis, and this is all the interest he (Oldfeld) has in it..
 "The senator declares the bill is not intended to disturb the rights of any bona fide holders of property under the government, which property was ac- quired after decision by Secretary Garfield that the title reposed right. fully in the government o

THE EDUCATIONAL CONFERENCE
Hotel Reservations Being Made in Ad- vance of Big Event.

vance of Big Event.
 That the conference for education in the south, to be held here April 6 to 8, is attracting national attention hnd will be attended by educators from all over the country, as well as by fearing business men, is evidenced by the num- Der of requests fofr hotel reservations already received, although the confer ence is yet four weeks off.
 Among the requests received by the department of education, which is standing in a measure sponsor for the great gathering here, are those of Sen ator J. H. Stout of W. c. Ribenack of Menominee, Wis, and Dean Harvey of the celebrated Stout training school at Menominee
 MT. Stout, in addition to beind state senator, is a prominent business man, being president of the First National Bank of Menominee
 MT. Ribenack is vice president of the same institution.
 Senator Stout founded the industrial training school at Menominee which bears his name, and which is said to be the greatest of it's kind in America.
 Dean Harvey stands pre-eminently at the head of industrial educators, and the fact that he is to attend the con ference has been received with much qualification by the department of ed ucation.
 These are merely few of the notifi- cations that have come to the depart ment, and while it is naturally expected that the most liberal attendance will be from among the business men and edu- cators of the south, the indications are that there will be many prominent wis ieors from the north and east.
