WILL COMMEMORATE;
 BATTLE OF PEA RIDGE
Veterans From Four States to Re in Attendance at Confederate Reun.
 ion to Be Held This Week,

Rogers, Aug. 13-Old soldiers from Missouri. Texas, Arkansas and Okla homa will gather at Pea Ridge Au- gust b, 16 and 17 to participate in the annual Confederate reunion.
 The battle of Pea Ridge, 12 miles north of Rogers, was fought on the 9th, 7th and Sth days of March. 1862. and IS recorded in history as being one of the most important events of the war between the states. There were 3O,OOO men engaged in this lat tle, 2,dOO of whom were killed, wound ed and captured, being about equally divided on both sides. The battle be- gan around Bentonville and was a running fight from there to base of Elk Horn, where the des perate strug gle took place. There are yet peo- pie living on Pea Ridge who were re- siding there at the time of the bat tie, and there are also men livins, in that community today who took an active part in the fight as soldiers. There Mcintosh, Slack, Mccullough and other illustrious Confederate gen. erals gave up their lives for the cause they believed to be right.
 When these soldiers gather upon this old battlefield this week in an- nual reunion they will find peace and plenty. From all sides restful and pleasing panorama will greet their eyes. To the north lies splendidly equipped farm, with it's cozy cottage. outhouses, chickens, hogs, horses and droWsy cows. To the south lies a fruitful orchard To the east lies or chard after orchard whose foliage hides Eureka Springs. To the west the silken tassels of the corn wave in luxuriant growth. Instead of sons warning against fathers and brothers again brothers, they all are living in unison together. The dove of peace hovers over the ridges and hills that fifty years ago belched forth death, carnage, hate and prescription The WhlpporWill and the Bob White have long since returned to their Deacefui abodes, and the sun rises and sets on the old battle fields of Pea Ridge made beautiful by sweet peace.

Should the Democrats allow the nomination now being sent to the Senate to be confirmed these ap- pointees will serve for four years, and if Wilson is elected the Demo- crats who aspire to these joba would have tos wait until about 1916 before they could eat at the federal pie counter. This will not be allow ed if the leading Democrats of the country can prevent it.
 Whether this will work in Arkan- sas is a question. Only last week about sixteen postmasters were con- firmed by the Senate. Both Senators Clarke and Davis were absent, and if thece was any protest made against their confirmation there was no one here to protest. Senator Davis has been in Washington and voted only a very few times during the present session and Senator Clarke has been absent for the last two or three weeks. In the meantime important legislation affecting ,the tariff and other vital. questions are being voted on without these two Arkansas sena- tors.

ATTEMPT IS MADE
 TO ROB PAYMASTER,
Good Fortune Alone Saves Big Roll In Possession of Lumber Com.
 pany Employe.

Wilmot, Aug. 13.-An attempt was made to hold up P. M. Stanley, pay master at the plant of the Kimball Lumber and Manufacturing Com pany, at Laark, La, as he was re- turning through the woods with the cash for the pay roll yesterday. MT. Stanley makes regular trips to Wilmot for cash to meet the pay roll, and as he was returning to the mill on his motor car, he saw a cross tie laid on the track ahead and was just able to stop his car in time to avoid an accident.
 The tie was securely fastened to- the track. and his first thought was for the cash in his possession. He at once pulled his gun, and heard someone running through the bushes but was unable to see the persons. MT. Danley usually makes the trips alcne, but this time he had picked up three men going that way, and it is possible that the robbers conclud- ed that there were too many for them and ran away when the car stopped.
 The whole affair was well planned, as the telephone and telegraph wires were all cut. If the plans of the rob- bers had not msscarried they could have made clean get away, as the county along the line is very wild.
