Happenings of Local Interest

Grandma Clark died at her home east of town Thursday eyen- ing from pneumonia. She was 76 years old and was an excellent Christian lady, having been a member of the Baptist church for a number of years. She is surviy- ed by six children. The remains were buried Saturday at Blue Springs cemetery.
 The town could now arrange very easily and cheaply to install small system of waterworks for Front street which would afford ample water for fire protection and for street sprinkling. By arrang- ing with Mr. Johle to erect tank near his shop, he could furnish power with his engine recently installed to keep 8 pump going long enough each day to furnish all the water necessary to keep the tank full A large water-main could be run down Main to Front street and smaller pipes laid to the end of each block east and west. About two water plugs on each block would be sufficient, and the town would thus have fire protection at a very small cost.

SCHOOL NOTES

On account of farming many students have been out of school of late The rainy weather has, however, given many of them an opportunity to come back for a few days. We are glad to see such iinerest manifested bv the stud erits to come back, even for a few days accidentally afforded them by the rainy days.
 There are three candidates for graduation from tenth grade this year, Ben Arnold and Misses Ida and Nell Welborn.
 Only one month more of school. In that time we hope to accomplish much in finishing up the year s work.

PR0HIBlTl0NlSTS ACTIVE
New Movement Agairft Sale of
 Liquor in Newport

Newport, April 11.-1AHfro- hibitionists began work eariyHthis morning circulating a petition to prevent the sale, soliciting, order ing or giving away of any intoxi- eating liquors within three miles of the public school building To- cated on Walnut street in this city. The delegation in charge of the petition was composed of Rev. k. M. Pipkin, D. P. Gill and O. M. Bowen. The promoters of the petition, which, when completed, will be submitted to the County Court, say their purpose to make more effective the inforcement of the law against bootlegging, to prevent the soliciting of orders for liquors from outside concerns and to continue the present no-license principle in Newport.
 This county voted wet in the last election, but Judge H. $. Sim mons refused to grant license to saloons this year and the petition of the prohibitionist will come be- fore him for action.

FELLOW AGE

The sweetest thing in the world is a grandfather or a grandmother who has come into the sunset land unembittered. The man or woman who has passed through the fur nace fires of life and emerged into the cool of evening unsoured and still attuned to optimism and glad ness, has had a success of living. He or she has not lost faith in man. kind nor confidence in the upward trend in humanity. To sit at the feet of such an individual and drink in philosophy is pleasure that only those appreciate who have been forced into companiship of the disgruntled and pessimistic. Nothing is quite so sweet as sweet old age.

PROGRESSIVE GOVERNOR

The reelection of Donaghey for Governor means that the state will progress greatly these next two years. Donaghey IS the first gov ernor this state has had for years that could be termed q progressive governor. He has given the state good business administration, is broadminded and is looking to-
 ward the state s development. His administration this time will take the state capitol out of poli- tics, for he will have 1t finished long before his present term ex- pires. During the past two years he has come nearer fulfilling his promises to the people than any other governor the state has had in years. Baxter County Bulletin.

ASK KEEL TO RESIGN
Convention Alleges That he Fail-
 ed to Represent Constituency

Newport, April 9.-The Demo cratic County Convention in ses- sion at the city hall this afternoon placed itself upon record in vigor- ous resolutions adopted by large majority of the delegates as favor ing the resignation of Senator John H. Keel, for alleged failure to represent his constituency. By an unanimous vote the convention expressed confidence in and ap- proyal of the administrati on of Governor Donaghey and asked for statutory statewide prohibition at the hands of the next legislature.
 The resolutions adopted also de- nounced the legislature seeking to remove the state university from Fayetteville.
 The first test of strength be- tween the Keel and the anti-Keel factions showed the former to have but 3 votes and tue latter 26. This was shown in the vote for temporary chairman, when Gus taye Jones received 26 votes and W. W. Dutton 3. W. B Chastian was elected secretary and the tenn porary organization was made permanent. Recognizing the over whelming majority against them, the minority allowed the unani- nous adopting of the resolutions offered by Chairman Gustage Jones without a word of protest, but when Judge H. $. Simmons introduced a further resolution de- claring Senator John H. Keel ha q been untrue to his constituency and plainly requesting his resigna- ton, the minority went upin arms. G. A. Gillhouse proxy for Den ton Island, declaring that he felt he should represont his constituent cy, spoke agaiA1 the resolution as did 1. r. Phillips of Cow Lake and Alcorn Ferguson. Judge Sim mons, Dr. c. West, and L D. Smith championed the resolution and in the vote on the roll call, the resolution passed by vote of 21 to II

VIM. C0NLEY FOUND DEAD
Body Found Near Railroad Cross
 ing in Newport Sunday

Newport, April Mystery surrounds the death of William Conley, foreman of a Rock Island bridge gang, whose body was found near the junction of the Rock Island and Iron Mountain railroad tracks here this morning. A long abrasion extended from Gonley's right shoulder nearly 10 his left hip and his spine and right shoulder blade were broken. His forehead and hands also bore bruises.
 The coroner's jury returned a verdict that Conley came to his death from the blow of | club in the hands of unknown parties, but the local authorities are inclined to the belief that he was struck by train. A broken whiskey bottle was found nearby and the ground is said to have borne some evidence of struggle. 1t is not know whether Conley had any money on his person when he came to New port last night.

RaIsey's pisappearance


Mr.. Jameson came back about
eight o'clock the next morning: he
was covered with mud, and his hat
was gone. Altogether we were a sad
looking trio that gathered around
breakfast that no one could eat. Over
cup of black coffee the detective
told us what he had learned of Hal
sey's movements the night before. Uc
to certain point the car had made it
easy enough to follow him. And ]
gathered that Mr.. Burns, the other de-
tective. had followed a similar car
for miles at dawn, only to find it was
a touring car on an endurance run.
