Death of Dr. R. II. Dyke.

A letter to MT. and Mrs. W. W. Bryan from St. Louis, brings the sad news of the death of Dr. k. II. Dyke, which occurred in that city on the 10th of April. The deceased was a prominent physician and druggist of Bell Flower, Missouri. His health having failed him, he in company with his wife went to St. Louis on the l2th of February for medical aid. All that loving hands and skilled physicians could do for him was done, but he gradually grew worse and finally passed away. The remains were shipped to Prince Branch, Mis- souri, has boyhood home, and there laid to rest by the Masonic order in the presence of his family and a large concourse of relatives and friends. The deceased was well known to many in both St. Francis and Lee counties, having at one time practiced medi- cine at Haynes. He is relative of MT. w. W. Bryan. We join with the friends in extending sympathy to the bereaved family in their sad bereave- ment.

Balance ration given as per in- structions of the Wisconsin Dairy, one of the largest in the United States. Water is pumped from we'll ls0 feet deep for the cattle, no ditch water, no stagnant pools or ponds for the cattle to absorb impure germs.
 Cattle are groomed every day Each COW has her stall and is attended to in scientific manner. All milk is run through our clarifying and cool Ing machines before bottling In fact, every precaution is used to give the people of Forrest City pure ar- ticle, one that will produce strength and health.
 The leading Cafes and Drug Stores handle Purity Milk. Don't use any other kind. There is none just as good.

TO CONSIDER PEACE: PACT

London, May eff John Bulls fifth
imperial conference lives up to what is
expected of 1t, the great gathering
inaugurated so auspiciously will take
rank as the most momentous peace
meeting ever held. Delegates from
every part of that vast empire on
which the sun never sets congregated
today at the official opening of the
conference.
World peace is the one absorbing
topic Of the day in John Bulls realm,
and the whole question will be taken
mp in principle during the conference.
Canada, represented by Sir Wilfrid
Laurier, Dominion premier, and other
able statesmen, will strongly support
the Anglo-American peace pact which
will, in the language Of Mr.. Asquith,
put an end once for all to the I'M
thinkable possibilities OF fratricidal
strife"
New Zealand offers a proposal for
an imperial council with representa-
tiyes in all parts of the empire and
a secretary Of imperial. affairs, to be
substituted for the present secretary
of state for the colonies. 1t is also
suggested that the present high COM
missioners in London be raised to the
status Of ambassadors.
Australia raises the question OF the
Declaration of London, and expresses
regret that the colonies were not con-
suited in opposing the provisions af-
fecting food supplies and the destruc-
tion of neutral vessels.
The imperial conference grows out
of the conference of colonial premiers,
the first Of which was held in 1887,
during Queen Victoria's jubilee.

TO SECURE AID
  FOR STATE FAIR
Hot Springs Asks $4O,OOO Appro- priation For Fair Pre-
 miums.
Special to Independent.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, March 3.-A plan has been worked out by which the citizens of Hot Springs ex- pect to secure state aid for their annual State Fair. George Beld- ing, Simon Cooper, and others of Hot Springs, met with George A. Cole, president of the State Fair, and members of the legislature, in the city Wednesday night and worked out the details of a bill which will secure this state aid if passed.
 It is planned to have the bill provide for $40,000 appropriation for the biennial period, placed under the control of Commission CT of Agriculture Fred H. Phillips and by him split up into premiums offered for stock, agriculture horticulture and mineral exhibits during the coming fairs, at the rate of $20,00O per year. Those who are interested in the bill be- lieve 1t will pass in this form.  We cannot spend the money on the fair this year that we did last, states President Cole, for we will be forced to erect num- Der of new buildings on the grounds, and money spent in pre- miums last year will have to go for this now.
 The fair will be much larger this year than last for where there were but 13 counties exhibiting last year, we have 40 county fairs this year, with other districts forming, and the best from all these will go to the State Fair.
 That will take all the more room. Fort Smith is raising $25,- 900 for a district interstate fair. Craighead, Greene, Poinsett and many other counties have taken up the county fair movement this -unoo eq4 10 sIem1eJ eqL '1eeG ties are taking the stock. In some of the counties every n1en1- Der of the Farmers Union is a subscriber to the county fair stock. With things working this way it is almost impossible to keep the State Fair down.

Satisfied Now With Count.

We'll take 1t all back about what we said concerning the cen sus enumerator last week. A census is being taken of the city and we have already gotten far enough to feel sure he gave it as correctly as 1t could have been gotten. You who have a griev- ance in the matter can put it all on your bad judgment as to num- bers and not on the count of the enumerator. = Eureka Springs Times Echo. That's the way it goes, in large majority of cases. Now and then the enumerator will miss a few names, and occasional ly h1s zeal to make a good show ing for his town will inspire him to put on his list a few names that should not be there. But in about ninety-nine cases out of a hundred he will have done his work correctly, and his figures may be taken as accurate. Fort Smith Times Record.
