TO DRILL NIGHT AND DAY
Experts From Oklahoma Oil Fields
Are Here TO Go After Water
Supply.

John Thompson, chairman of the
waterworks commission, who was
recently disappointed in the work
of man hired to run the drilling
machinery in efforts to secure
water, has returned from Tulsa,
Ok, the heart of the Oklahoma oil
fields, and with him came two ex-
pert we'll drillers and their help
ers. These men are J. w. Cree and
J. +. Henthorn, driIlers, and w. o.
Henthorn and A. H. Vosper, assist
ants. They will start the drill as
soon as a piece of machinery ar
rives to replace piece broken by
a former driller, and will run the
drill twenty-four hours day un-
til the we'll is finished on which
they begin work.
The commissioners are very san
guine of success in their efforts to
get water, and propose, if they get
what seems to be an ample supply,
to make sure by about doubling IL
before stopping.

WI T|NCFANC FOR
CHINESE REPUBLIC
Most Important Figure OF Revolm-

Imperialists Are Hold
ing Pckin.

Shanghai, NOV. 7.--Dr. Wu Ting
Fang, former minister to the United
States, in a statement to the As
sociated Press today, announced he
has joined the movements to es-
tablish a Chinese republic.
Or. WI Ting Fang twice occu-
pied the Office of Chinese minister
TO the United States and afterward
for time appeared relegated per-
manentIy to private life, but in
August, 1910, he was made eoun-
cilor to the Chinese foreign Office
His advanced ideas have not always
harmonized with imperial policies
1t has been no secret that recently
he has not wholly synpathizcd
with the throne. He is the most
important figure that has appeared
on the revolutionary side.
DR.. Wo said: Personally | fav-
ored a limited monarchy, retaining
the emperor as the figurehead, will
a strong Chinese cabinet and con.
stitution, but the prevailing senti-
ment appears to favor republic.
I'm each province governor
should be selected, each city ane
town giving its allegiance to IN,
new government. The whole peo-
iple Of China, north and south
should be united against the Man.
chu supremacy and against th'
government at pekin, which is cor
rupt and prone TO be oppressive.
II admit that there are tremen-
dous difficulties before us, but WI
must win. We guarantee adher'
ence to foreign treaties, whether
they were made unfairly or fairly
We will pay our obligations to tn
foreign nations and open up all TIN
ports of China to foreign trade
Thus there will be guaranteed al
enormous advantage to all foreign
ers, as well as China"

this is one of the greatest pieces
of work ever done for the boys, and
in few years they will be men
who will run the farms and the

make good ritixcns vi them when
il can be done so easily, and push
the boys along, and next week all
who will assist in this matter write

know what to depend on by the

fered TO the boy who will make the
greatest yield Of upland corn, still
stands, if the money is raised to

make one united effort TO accomp-

ahead and do their best work next
year. Yours truly,

GOOD HEADWAY
LAYING MAINS
Construction Company Finished
Lines North of Railroad Satur-
day-ExpertS Here TO Drill
for Water.

The Tonkawa Construction Com
pany, which contracted to complete
the laying of the mains for Menas
new waterworks system with four
months, Saturday, the end of two
months, has put in the last of the
pipes on the north side Of the rail-
road. This section of the city, in
cluding the main feed line from
the standpipe, comprises probably
fully two-thirds of the work. As
fast as the mains are laid the fire
hydrants are attached, those on the
old system being taken up and re-
set on the new lines, all of which
are carefully tested as the work
progresses, and the new lines are
left attached directly to the stand
pipe, and, it is understood, can be
used in case Of fire call. The old
pipes are plugged where hydrants
are removed, but probably will not
be used again except in some
emergency.
Engineer Dove says that he be-
lieves the construction company
will have completed its work by
December 1.

THINKS CARTER
HIT THE nail
SQUARE ON HEAD
Union Sentinel OF IT. Smith APP
proves Judge Carter's Remedy
for Low Cotton Price--Gain-
ing Friends Over District.

The Union Sentinel of Fl. Smith
of recent date took occasion to
comment on the speech of Judge j.
NJ. Carter of Texarkana, made last
month at Mulberry and later pub
lished in full in this paper. The
editorial in full, follows:
"We take much pleasure in pub
fishing part of a speech that was
recently delivered by Judge J. Nj.
Carter at Mulberry, Ark, on the
low price of cotton that is now pre-
vailing and his remedy for same.
From our viewpoint he strikes the
nail squareIy on the head-and this
truth must be realized and put into
execution before we can hope for
a change-and il the people will
elect such men as Judge Carter to
make laws for them in Congress
we can soon apply for the remedy
and get relief. Judge Carter is
gaining friends all over this dis
Lrict, and is most sanguine OF sue
eess in the coming primary.
IF there was ever a time when
the people needed the right kind
of representatives in Congress, that
time is now. We want man who
will stand for the people, and not
for a chosen. few, and Judge Car
ter has always borne that reputa-
tion."

pekin, Nov. 7.--General WI, a
brilliant young military officer, re-
Gently appointed governor of Thurs
province, was assassinated this
morning as he was asleep in his
tent at the military encampment at
Shika Chung, when 80 Manchu SOL
diers rushed past the guard and
murdered him. Then the officers
of the generals staff arrested the
Manchus. The latter stated that
WI had gone over 10 the revolu-
tionaries and was secretly betray-
ing the MaHchus. General WI was
educated in Japan and had risen
rapidly since his return to China.
He was liberal in his views and was
always credited with sympathy
with the reform movements, al
though he was not an extremist.
Reports that this city fell into
the hands of the revolutionists are
untrue. There has been no fight
ing, nor is there any indications
that pekin is endangered. For
eigners in various legations think
it will be the last Of the important
cities 10 go. The imperial govern
ment has concentrated here all the
most loyal and faithful troops II
the army. The population Of this
city is without arms and therefors
unable to offer any serious upris-
ing.

To the Citizens of Polk County:

One year ago the Quorum court
of this county appropriated the
sum Of six hundred dollars for the
use of farm demonstration work.
to be carried on under the super
vision of the United States govern
ment, the purpose being to make
better methods of farming more
common to the masses and to en-
able anyone so desiring to get the
proper instructions free of charge,
one of the most commendable eff
forts ever put forth in this county
to assist the farmers in better their
condition, not only in the way of
farming, but in financial way as
well. This being essentially a
farming country, it was one of the
finest things ever done for Polk
Icounty.
AS you all know, last January
we had at the court house in Mena
q meeting of the boys who were
interested III the new methods of
farming and organized the Boys
Corn and Cotton Club, the objects
of which are already familiar to
you all. The people in Mena took
such a pride in the boys that they
donated prizes for the best yields
| of various kinds to the amount of
near six hundred dollars, which
certainly showed the people that
the citizens and business men OF
Mena were proud of the farmer
boys, and no better evidence of good
faith was ever shown by the busi-
ness men of any community in this
or any other states. AS result
the boys, to show their apprecia-
ton, went to work with a will tC
give the county the finest yields il
has ever had, and you all knew the
result. We have taken the prizes
at Hot Springs at the state fair, anc
at Fort Smith at the interstate fair
in way that would do credit tC
any state in the union, record that
any county in the state would be
proud Of. This is what the boys
did: They simply made good, and
made a record not beaten in the
state.
Last year they did not have any
time to do the fall plowing, so es-
sentia to produce the very best re-
lsults, and had a bad season besides
doing without rain so long at q
time. 1t order to get the very besI
results out of this work it is es-
sential to have about three years
work in this line-to hold it up ane

Senator Also Defends His Guberna-

Delight, Nov. Elm speech
made here Saturday afternoon to a
large crowd, Senator jeff Davis
condemned in vigorous terms the
Turner-Jacobson bill, saying that
the people were already being taxed
too much and that the new none
tary measure would double the
present rate of taxation. He refer
red to statement said to have
been made against his guberna-
torial administration by Governor
Donaghey. Senator Davis said he
was charged with being the cause
of the present financial embarrass-
ment of the state. He stated that
he left a full treasury and reduced
the rate of taxation. In addition,
he called attention to the present
state of affairs when at the end OF
four years, he said, Governor Dom
aghey had incurred debt of sew
eral hundred thousand dollars.
The senator also mentioned his

ting the county to a lot of expense
in prosecuting them for various
petty crimes and misdemeanors
and bringing gray hairs and sor-
row to their old parents and shame
on their families. Every boy We

terest in this work will make a
good citizen and take pride in do
ing his work well, and such a boy
is an honor to any community in
which he lives and an example to
others and an inspiration TO all.
No man can deny this. During the
last term of court number OF boys
were indicted for different misde-
meanors. Did you hear of any OF
the Corn and Cotton Club boys be-
ing brought before the grand jury,
or any of them being indicted for
crimes of any kind? | think you
will find by close inspection there
was not, but that every one Of the
little fellows was a credit to the
county. Looking at the photograph
of the little fellows printed in this
paper, you will find as bright lot
of boys as you would expect to
meet, in this or any other county,
and you will admit they did the
best they could, and that they were
never beaten in the county by any
one, old or young.
You will also find a photo

TURKEY APPEALS
TO UNITED STATES
Formal Demand Made for Inter-
yention to Stop Atrocities Com
mitted ON Women and Children
by Italians-Cruiser TO TripOli

Washington, Nov. 6.-In the
strongest language which diploma
cy recognizes, Turkey Sunday ap-
pealed to the United States to in
tervene between herself and Italy
in the present war over Tripoli.
The so-called barbarities practiced
by the Italian troops and the duty
of the United States under the last
Hague convention in respect there
+ of, are pointed out as the reasons
for the appeal thus made by the
Turkish minister of foreign af-
fairs.
The subject was broached first in
the course of a verbal statement
by the Turkish ambassador to Act
ing Secretary Adee, and later in the
day in the shape of a letter In
each case the ambassador, who de-
clared he was acting under cab
led instructions from his govern
ment, described in detail the acts
attributed to the Italian troops and
protested in the name of humanity
against the alleged barbarities in
flicted upon helpless women and
children and non-combatants by
the infuriated soldiery.
Appeals TO United States.
By order of his government the
ambassador appealed TO the United
States to exert itself to put stop
to practices that, he declared,
were in plain violation of the rules
of warfare and in contravention of
The Hague convention, to which
the United States and Italy are
parties. Secretary Adee promised
to submit the protest to Secretary
Knox, who at present is absent
from Washington.
The ambassadors note was based
upon a cablegram from the Turk
ish minister for foreign affairs, a
portion of which follows:
Il beg you to protest in the most
energetic manner to the govern
ment 10 which you are accredited
for such crimes against humanity
committed by the Italians, the sad
spectacle of which offers strik-
ing contrast with the efforts,
crowned with success, and admitted
by the Italians themselves, that our
authorities at Tripoli and Beng
hazi have not ceased to display in
order to safeguard the lives and
property of the Italians as we'll as
other Europeans and that under
the very fire of the enemy and in
the midst of a justly indignant and
over-excited population
Asks Intervention.
Supplementing this cable came
another from the Turkish foreign
Office later in the day, which was
also transmitted to the state de-
partment. This is regarded as OF
great importance, because it for
mally demands intervention by the
United States. 1t reads as follows:
The Italian atrocities in Tripoli
being confirmed officially and from
every quarter, | beg your excell-
ency to reiterate the representa-
tions prescribed in my pressing
telegram to insist upon the neces-
sity of prompt and effacious inter
vention to these inhuman proceed
ings."
