MCFARLAND WON'T
TRAVEL TO ENGLAND
Packey Not Anxious to Meet
Matty Wells Over There

t'There Is no occasion for me to
hurry to accept the offer to box at the
National Sporting Club in London
with Matty Wells, the English cham
pion lightweight. 1 have until May 1
to accept the offer or to decline It,
Before I give a final answer, wish to
have the opportunity, if it is accorded
me, to come to some arrangements by
which 1 can box the winner Of the
Wolgast- Hogan bout, which will take
place on Wednesday night
In those words Packey Mcfarland
spoke relative to his intention of go
ing abroad to fight Wells for the
championship Of England. He was
sitting in his dressing room at one of
the New York theatres preparing for
his exhibition when he gave voice to
the words:
'I have been offered $4,000 by the
National officials to meet Wells, with
$500 expense money and two round trip
tickets on the steamship. But f1atter-
ing as that offer Isl am in no hurry
to accept it for the reason that / wish
to take on the winner of the Wolgast-
Hogan bout. I am willing to make
133 pounds for Hogan at o'clock if
he should prove to be the winner, or
134 pounds for Wolgast at the same
time in the event of his winning.
81 am willing to take on Freddie
w GlSn dL the same terms regarding
the weight question as the one / offer
Wolgast., But / am afraid Welsh will
not concede me this one pound. I do
not think one pound should prove a
stumbling block to Welsh if he really
wants to box me. If he were as anx-
ious as he processes to be to meet me
in the ring I would cencede the point
If I were in his place.
1.-THE reason I have not accepted the
Nationals terms to the present time is
due to the fact that [ believe a session
of boxing with either Wolgast, Hogan
or Welsh would be of greater interes
at the present time than a meeting
with Wells.
Il am not particularly keen to go to
England although, in addition to the
amount offered me by the club, I can
have a five weeks engagement at the
London music halls at $1,000 week.
You see /. have never had decision
against me in my long career in the
ring. Suppose L should go to England
and receive a lemon decision-one
rendered against me because 1 might
fail to knock out Wells. That would
injure my reputation as a boxer.
Wells is a sturdy man. I might not
be able to knock him out, and by that
act lose the decision. I would much
rather stay here and obtain a match
with either Wolgast, Hogan or
Welsh

COFFEE HEART Very Plain In Some People.

A great many people go on suffering from annoying ailments for a long time before they can get their own consent to give up the indulgence from which their trouble arises.
 A gentleman in Brooklyn describes his experience, as follows:
 q became satisfied some months ago that I owed the palpitation of the heart from which I suffered almost daily, to the use of coffee, q had been a coffee drinker for 30 years) but I found it very hard to give up the bev- craze.
 "One day I ran across very sen sible and straightforward presenta- tion of the claims of Postum, and was so impressed thereby that con cluded to give 1t trial.
 My experience with it was unsat- isfactory till learned how it ought to be prepared-by thorough boiling for not less than 15 or 20 minutes. After I learned that lesson there was no trouble.
 "Postum proved to be most palat- able and satisfactory hot beverage, and have used 1t ever since.
 "The effect on my health has been most salutary. The heart palpitation from which I used to suffer so much, particularly after breakfast, has dis appeared and never have a return of 1t except when I dine or lunch away from home and drink the old kind of coffee because Postum Is not served. 1 find that Postum cheers and invig- crates while it produces no harmful stimulation" Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.
 Ten days trial proves an eye opener to many.

DIR. R. G. BOWERS
 HEADS OUACHITA
APPOINTED TO SUCCEED DIR. HARTZoG AS PRESIDENT OF
 BAPTIST COLLEGE.
Considerable Speculation Had Been lnduged in as to Who Would
 Get Coveted Plum.

Little Rock.-The question of who will be the next president of Ouachita College at Philadelphia was settled by the acceptance of the position by pr. R. G. Bowers. The vacancy was caused by the resignation of Dr. H. s. Hartzog, who relinquished the place in order to give his entire attention to the educational commission work.
 Dr. Bowers has been a prominent figure in Baptist work in the South west for several years. He was born in Dallas county and was educated at Ouachita College, graduating in 1899. He served as pastor of the First Bap- tist church at Malvern for two years, and then went to Texas. He was at Luling, in that state, for one year, and was pastor of the Columbus Street church, Waco, five years. He came back to Arkansas in 1907 as mission ary secretary of the state mission board. He served in this capacity for two and half years, during which the gifts to missions in this state were increased at least 75 per cent. In December, 1909, Dr. Bowers was elected financial agent of the Ouachita- Central system of Baptist colleges, which he has held since. When he as- sumed this position the institutions owed $S0,000, while now the debt is only about $6,0O0.

CONCESSIONS ARE
 MADE BY DIAZ
MExIco's PRESIDENT ADVOCATES REFORMS DEMANDED BY
 THE NSURRECTOS..
Recommended to Congress in the Message Just Submitted.

Mexico City.-Committing himself to the advocacy of many of the re- forms demanded by the revolutionists, although professedly lowing only to the influence of public opinion, Pres ident Diaz answered his critics through his semi-annual message at the opening of the national congress.
 The principle of no reelection of the chief executive and incumbents of other elective offices and the reform of the electoral laws so that the priv ilege of the ballot may be enjoyed by those citizens who are considered ca pablo of voting were advocated.
 The message refers specifically to the application of the no reelection principle to the naming of state gov ernors, one of the chief contentious of the discontented element throughout the republic, the president stating that if a bill providing for the s'pe Tiodical renovation of the officials in question should come before con gress it would have his earnest sup port Abuse of power by jefes po- itlcos, another of the crying evils complained of by residents in the ru ral districts throughout Mexico, is to be abated, according to the plan out lined by the president.
 The president proposes to improve the efficiency of the judiciary through a more careful selection of it's per sonnel and lengthening the tenure of office Punishment of judicial func tionaries for malfeasance is to be brought about through the enactment of more stringent measures.
 On the subject of the division of the great private estates, the chief executive declared his determination to find efficient means for bringing about the innovation.

Has Cardinal Gibbons Approval.


 Cardinal Gibbons, the highest au- thorfty of the Roman Catholic church in America, has expressed his ap- proval of Tuberculosis day, which Is to be observed by the churches of the United States on or about April 30 and of the general organized anti-tu- berculosis campaign, according to a report of an interview made public by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis.
 The interview was granted by his eminence to H. Wirt Steele executive secretary of the Maryland Associa- tion for the Prevention and Relief of Tuberculosis, and Dr. Charles O'Dono. van, one of the leading physicians of Baltimore. The cardinal expressed his entire sympathy with the plan of the Tuberculosis day movement and indorsed the program both of the Maryland association and of the na- tiona association.

MEN
 ELECT OFFICERS
ASSOCIATION COMES TO
 A CLOSE.
Parcels Post and Excessive Express Rates Are Condemned in a Set
 of Resolutions.

Little Rock.-With a ball in the con- vention hall of of the Hotel Marion, Little Rock bade farewell to the dele gates to the Arkansas and National Retail Hardware Association The session of the national organization closed when officers were chosen for the ensuing year and resolutions draft ed outlining the policy of the associa- tion on business and national affairs and lauding the local committees, city and state officials and the press for their work in making the convention a success.
 Following the reading of the report of the committee on nominations at the closing session the following off, cers were unanimously chosen: sharon E. Jones, Richmond, Ind, president L. c. Abbott, Marshalltown, Iowa, first vice president; c. A. Ire land, Iona, Mich, second vice presi- dent; w. F. Bogardus, Mount Vernon, Ohio, treasurer; E. E. Mitchell, Nor rilton, Ark; D. F. Barber, Boston, Mass; D. Kavanaugh, Fairbury, Neb.; Charles T. Woodward, Carlinville, H., and John G. Ferris Johnstown, N. r., members of the executive committee.
 Among the resolutions adopted was one in which the organization went on record as opposed to the passage of a general parcels post measure, because the members believe that it would result in large deficit as well as the concentration of population and factories in the large cities, to the detriment of small towns and the farmers. The association also adopted a resolution urging that the postoffice department be put on a business basis.
 Expressing the belief that express companies charge excessive rates and that the graduated schedule, which is not based on the pound rate, but on set of figures constituting a tariff es- tablished by the express companies, is unreasonable, it was urged that the state railroad commission and the in- terstate commerce commission adopt measures with view to determining whether the present rates are excess sive, and if it is found that they are, to take immediate steps to compel re- duction to a reasonable basis.

Moissant's Comparison.

"The late John B. Moissant was a genial as well as a skillful airman," :" said Chicago editor.
 T remember well a visit he once made me, with drawings of an aero plane of his own invention under his arm. joked him a little about the machine-it certainly had a heavy, awkward look. But he said with a laugh:
 "'Oh, don't judge even an aeroplane by its outside. What if the man who discovered the oyster hadn't stopped to pry open the shen?'"

Clerk Hiqoins Makes Gift.

Clerk of the House J. B. Higgins, whose generosity knows no bounds, placed upon the desk of each member a voluminous copy of the 1911 World Almanac. Knowing that many of the members, though not farmers now, came from the farm, where things are done "in the moon,' and when the sun is right" With these sign charts which the clerk has provided for them the legislators are at no loss to de- eide when the sign is right to pass or kill a bill or move to take a recess. AS a token of commendation of the clerks generosity in this matter the legislative correspondent for the Western Newspaper Union presented MT Higgins with an elementary spell ing book of the old blue back type, and now he is almost continually be- sieged by members wanting to "bor- row his speller" to help them over the hard words in preparing their bills and resolutions

Caught Between Cars.

Sheridan.-J. F. Vaughan, a con- ductor on the Sawyer and Austin tram road, north of Sheridan, was fatally injured. By some means unknown he fell between the log cars and both legs were practically cut off at the thighs. Dr. Wallin of this place was immediately called and carried the man to Pine Bluff for operation, but he died soon after reaching there. This is the fourth man that has been killed within the past few years by this log train.
