SITUATION AT MOROCCAN
CAPITAL is DESPERATE

London, May S.-Dispatches from
Fez today say that the situation at
the Moroccan capital is desperate as a
result of the defeat of the Sultan's
troops who were sent to drive the
rebels from the surrounding city.
The food and ammunition Is run
ming short and it is feared the town
will soon surrender. About the only
hope is that General Foutes, heading
5000 troops at Taousir, can clear the
way for supplies to reach Rez.

Is o. K.; GET
 READY FOR BIG SHOW

The first installment of the re- ligious debate was delivered a little ahead of time Monday even ing. Judging by the preliminaries, the main show will be a great event, and we would advise our friends at a distance to come early-and well armed.
 The first installment fulfilled all expectations, and If the main event comes up in every respect to the sample exhibition of Monday, the big show will have to be held out in the open air, for there is no building in town large enough to accommodate the spectators.

MYSTERIOUSLY LEAVES
]. T. Hall Left Town For Memphis Two Weeks Ago and Has Not
 Been Heard From

J. T. Hall, who came here about two months ago and bought out Browns Restaurant, has myster- iously disappeared.
 He got on the train here Satur- day night, the 18th of last month, to go to Memphis, saying that he would return the following Tues day. That is the last that has been seen or heard of him in New ark.
 This week his creditors, the White River Grocer Go, of Bates vile, the Plunket-Jarrel Co.,, of Newport, and the cott-Mayer Co.,, of Little Rock, closed his doors and instituted legal proceedings to close up the business.
 No one here knows anything about Hall. He dropped in here about two months ago and upon learning that MT. Browns restaur- ant was for sale, Hall called on him and immediately closed a trade with him.
 Hall is said to have passed through this country some five or six years ago with an aggregation styling themselves King Broth CTS and giving exhibitions of West ern horsemanship by riding "un- ridable" horses and mules.
 Further than this nothing is known of him here. Apparently he is a very nice fellow and did a good business while here.

 Following the we'll established precedent in the State Department of Public Instruction, 1 urge you to encourage the teachers of your respective schools to attend the Arkansas State Teachers Associa- ton, Little Rock, December 27, 28 and %.

lNDORSES COURTS ACTION

Editor Journal.-I will ask for space in your paper to say a few words in reply to the Batesville Guard in regard to the farm de- monstration work.
 1 am glad everybody can't see alike, and 1 am glad the quorum court did what it thought best without asking counsel of the Guard. l believe that was as fine a boby of J. P.s as ever went into a quorum court, and they had the assistance of one of the best county judges who ever occupied the bench. And then to think that the Guard had the gall to come out and say that the court acted foolish in not letting a man onto the public teat and let him pull a whole year.
 Now, Mr. Editor of the Guard, that court did what 1t thought was best, and never even once thought of coming over to ask your advice. Why didn't you come over and tell them how to run the county's hl1SineSS2 But its too late now. You will have to stand to the racket or leave the country.
 The idea of an editor who never even helped to make a crop in his life telling the farmers that they did not have sense enough to do business for themselves!
 He says county scrip is worth 100eents on the dollar. Ask some of the J. P.s what they got for the time they were in court. And 1t is just such men as those who com- posed the quorum court are the ones who have cleared the land, built the towns and the public roads of the county. And then we see the little editor of the Guard jump up in the face of that class of people and tell them that they havn't got sense enough to run their own businsss. Why, a man like him could not even make garden if he had a guide to go by. J. D. RUTLEDGE,

BAXTER WARRIOR DEAD.
Old Time Newspaper Man and Bax- ter Lieutenant Formerly of
 This Section is Dead

Press dispatches fromMiluawkee Wis, tell of the death of Michael McConnay at his home in that city Saturday night.
 McConnay was a printer and newspaper man and will be re- membered by many of the old citizens of this section.
 McConnay published the old Jacksonport Hearld at Jacksonport during the reconstruction period following the war, and became known throughout the country for his connection with the Brooks Baxter war over the governorship of Arkansas in 1872.
 Early in the struggle McConnay was commissioned adjutant-gener- al by Governor Baxter and collect ed small army for the purpose of driving Brooks from the state house. quite a little battle took place in Little Rock between the opposing factions in which about a dozen persons were killed.
 McConnay was born in Ireland in 1846 and before coming to Jack sonport he was tramp printer. He had been a resident of Mil waukee for several years previous to his death and was the owner of the Globe Printing Co.

PROHI PETITIONS OUT
Fight is Launched For Statewide Prohibition and Lively Con-
 test is Ahead

Blank petitions for securing the signatures necessary for the init iation of a statewide prohibition law for Arkansas were mailed out broadcast over the state from Little Rock Saturday.
 Under the law putting in force the initiative and referendum, 1t will require between 5000 and 10000 signatures to the petitions to secure the reference of the measure to the voters of the state. No trouble will be experienced in securing these and 1t is now al- most a certainty that the proposed statewide law will be submitted to the people at the general cleo ton to be held next September.
 Various church conferences and associations representing a total of about 5000 people have already indorsed the statewide movement.
 The liquor people reached the conclusion several days ago that the question would be submitted to the voters at the next election, and are organizing throughout the state with a view of contesting every inch of available ground in the campaign.
 It is hard to predict what bear ing the question will have on the pending gubernatorial contest. Gov. Donaghey is leading the ul- tra-prohibition movement, declar- ing unalterably in favor of the measure. The friends of Joe T. Robinson have placed him at the head of the local option column, and Norwood, the other candidate for governor, favors anything and everything that will bring about statewide prohibition, he says. But he is opposed to submitting the question, and says if Arkansas is ever to have prohibition, it must be done through the form of legislative enactment.
 Gov. Donaghey makes reply to Norwood's platform by saying that statutory prohibition meas ure and one also seeking its sub- mission to the voters have been considered by every legislature during the past ten or fifteen years, but unfortunately was chlo- reformed in the senate. Besides, much valuable time of the legis- lature is taken in the consideration of prohibition bills. The gover- nor also makes the point that all other important legislation is sub- ordinated to the liquor question.

SENATORIAL BOQUETS
Davis and Brundidge Toss Few to Each Other Just to Keep
 Things Lively

The most determined effort of recent years to break the hitherto impregnable power of Senator Jeff Davis will be given an impetus at Beebe next Saturday, Dec. 2, when former Congressman s. Brundidge meets Senator Davis in joint de- bate. This IS the first of series of four joint speeches proposed by Senator Davis and agreed to by MT. Brundidge. Senator Davis has positively refused to make more joint speeches, claiming that there is no issue between them except that each wants the office. MT. Brundidge retorts that if that were the only thing to be consid- cred, both should retire and let some one run who would have a higher conception of the duties of the high office.
 Senator Davis, whose past cam paigns have not been noted for their mildness, insists that this campaign must be free from per- sonal abuse and billingsgate, to which his opponent agrees, thus giving promise that it will be on a higher plane than could have been expected a few years ago. MT. Brundidge, however, fearing that mot all is gold that glitters,' re- serves the right to exercise his own Judgment as to the proper method of meeting such conditions should they arise in the campaign.
 The speech at Beebe on Satur- day will be followed by another at Morrilton Monday, after which, on Tuesday and Wednesday, the po- litical gladiators will meet in the arena at Russellvile, Senator Davis old home, and Fort Smith, where 1t is known that the Davis stock is quoted far below par. Senator Davis says that affairs of state will call him to Washington for the meeting of congress, and he does not thlnk any good can be accomplished by a series of politi- cal harangues. MT. Brundidge re- minds him that he did not always think so, and that on another occasion, when important matters were pending in Congress, he found the time to return to Ar kansas and take part in cam paign in which he was not even a candidate. While beginning thus with symptoms of comparative non-combativeness, it is realized that all the elements are present to make the campaign one of pro- nounced asperities. That 1t will become more lively along toward the holidays no one doubts, and that Senator Davis will make more than the four schedule speeches is almost a certainty.

The C. & o. OF Indiana is making
