right spirit and gave good appoint
ments 60 the followers of his opponent,
Harry Schoberth, of Woodford county
Mr.. Terrell went even further than
that and gave good places to the few
Republicans in the house who are on
the other side of the political fence
from Mr.. Terrell. The appointments
were not announced until Tuesday, al
though it had been expected that they
would go to the house on Monday.
The Rules committee, that all-pow-
erful body. which is in charge of the
business of NE house during the last
days of the session, was announced
on Tuesday and this committee went
over the list of the other committees,
making few changes. The Rules COM
mittee is the most sought-for place
in the house, next to the speakership.
In the house in the last few days of the
session there is always a rush on the
part of members to get their bills up
for passage. The legislators usually
daily along for six or eight weeks and
then crowd into the last few days the
actual work of the session. To give
some semblance of order and to get
the work out, it has been the custom
to permit of no measure being report
ed from the committee, from the Calen-
dar or orders of the day, unless called
up by the Rules committee. This will
be the program again this year

and more than two hundred measures,
providing for everything under the
sun were offered by the members. The
senate has no bill day, every day being
bill day, but no bills were offered dur
ing the first week of the present SEES
sion. The sessions were mostly de-
voted to the routine of organization
and adjournment was taken on We'd
nesday until Tuesday, each house wait

their chance on Tuesday, and they
took prompt advantage of it to pour

FREIGHT WRECK
AND HIGH WATER
Big Engine Derailed Near Wander
y00rt-Brakeman Hobson Re-
eeiyes Bruises-No. 4
Twelve Hours Late.

About six o'clock Sunday night,
when an extra fast freight, pulled
by Engineer Doc Worrel, on one of
the Kansas City Southern's big new
freight engines, No. 707, came out
of the first cui south Of Wander
yoort, something happened which
caused trouble. Within a few Sec
onds there were nine ears OF
strawberries, potatoes and such
other perishable freight from
Texas almost completely demol-
ished. Seven or eight other cars
had been deraied and the fine big
engine was setting down on the ties
with its tender turned crosswise OF
the track. Several feet of the track
was torn up and several loads Of
dirt will probably be used to fill up
the hole made in the rain-soaked
track bed The track was not
cleared up and repaired until late
Tuesday afternoon.
Brakeman Hobson of the wrecked
freight was somewhat bruised, but
not seriously hurt.
The delay 10 No. was caused by
high water near Neosho, Mo. 1t
was reported that the track there
was three feet under water.

LEVEE BREAKS At
bayou SARA
Small Army of Men Stop the Gre
vase Before the Waters Have
Time to DO Much Damage
Thousands Are Busy.

Baton Rouge, La, April 30.--The
Mississippi river at Bayou Sara, on
the east bank broke at 1880 this
morning and inundated a small pof-
tion of the town. A small army Of
men was rushed to the scene and
at 8 o'clock the break had been
checked before there was an oppor-
tunity for a permanent crevasse.
Late yesterday the protection
levee around the Bayou Sara brick
yard gave way and inundated that
plant. This made the citizens Of
the town more alert and increased
guards were placed on the main
levee last night and a large num-
ber Of sacks and other material
were placed at dangerous points.
Although Bayou Sara had added
protection in the railroad embank-
ment back of the main leyee, the
promptness of the citizens this
morning prevented serious damage.
Thousands of men are at work to-
day from the mouth of the Red
river to plaquemine. below Baton
Rouge. repairing weak spots in the
west levee and rushing sand sacks
and timber to points where wave
wash has damaged the line that is
holding the flood waters from the
rich cane section of Louisiana.

CHRIST WOULD NEED
A License TO HEAL
Senator Works oil California Charg-
es Old School of Medicine Is
Attempting to Hold Monopoly
ON Curing the Sick.

Washington, April 30 Senator
Works, Of California, asserted in
the senate yesterday that if Jesus
Christ were practicing his healing
in New York today, he would be
subject to fine and imprisonment
under the laws of that state. SEN
ator Works, Christian Scientist,
was speaking in opposition to the
Owen bill TO establish a govern
ment department of public health.
He charged the bill was part of
a concerted scheme of the Ameri-
can Medical Association to obtain
Legislation to perpetuate the power
OF the regular school of medicine,
and said that il was a mercenary
of doctors alone to estab-
lish a medical bureau independent
and free from control by any de-
partment of government with a
regular physician at its head
whereby all other schools of medi-
cine and modes of healing would be
placed at the mercy of the regular
school,
Senator Works coniended that
efforts of doctors to monopolize
healing had Of late been directed
against Christian Scientists and
their mode of healing, and he said
he could fill the capital with con-
scientlous men and women who
would bear witness to their healing
by Christian Science and their
faith in its efficiency.

PURCHASED THE
QU|CLEY HOME
Beautiful Residence on College Hill
Becomes Home of Wealthy
Oklahoma Oil Operator.

One of the most important real
estate transfers which has taken
place in Mena recently was cloesd
last Wednesday by the real
estate firm of Dennis, Kelly &
Stratton. 1t carries with it the sale
of the elegant residence and spa
cious grounds and srevant quarters
of the r. NJ. Quigley residence on
the high point just northeast and
overlooking Mena. Also a forty
acre tract north of the college
grounds.
The purchaser of this property
is II. NJ. Sharp of Tulsa, Ok, who
has for number of years been
operating in the Oklahoma oil
fields.
Mr.. Sharp has the contract for
drilling the deep well for the city
water system, and it was through
this work that he came to Mena
and became interested in making a
home here.
In speaking of this matter, Mr..
Sharp saiG that he came to Mena
expecting to be here only day or
two at the starting of the well drill
ing, but he has been here nearly a
month now, and the attractions
have been so great that he has de-
cided to give up a beautiful home
at Tulsa and come TO Mena to live.
He has no family except his
mother, ana expects to make ar
rangemenis to come with her to
occupy the new home in about
thirty days.
This property, without doubt, IS
one of the most beautiful in the
southwest. It's high elevation over
looking the city and the surround
ing mountain ranges and valleys
gives a view hard to excel. The
elegant home and beautiful grounds
leave nothing to be desired.
The consideration has not been
made public. The property orig
inally cost between s35,0Oo and
$4,000.

STORM SWEEPS
THROUGH STATE
Al Least Two Dead as Result OF
Sundays Storms, With Hair a
Hundred Dead Through
out Arkansas.

Little Rock. April 29-As the re-
suit Of storms throughout Arkan-
sas Sunday. at least two are known
to have been killed. with probably
half q hundred persons, more or
less, injured, while the propertv
loss, especially as to timber. Is
enormous. Many buildings have
been wrecked. and at least four
churches. so far as known. we're
practically demolished. In one
place commissary was blown in
TO lake and in another instance a
negro church was blown down. one
.of the results being the killing of a
mule hltchcd near the building.
AT Fonke, small town near Tex
arkana, two ladies', Mesdames &. p.
Davis and Wiley Beal. attempted
to lind shelter from the storm on
their way home from church. but
the tree under which they took ref
uge was blown down and both wo-
men killed.
The little town OF keO, Is miles
from here, appeared to have suf-
Tered severely from the storm
which struck there about O'Clock
Sunday afternoon, sweeping over
the country for many miles and
clearing q track a quarter OF a mile
wide.
In general way the worst storm
seems to have gathered in western
Arkansas, in the vicinity of Cabin
Greek, and swept eastward through
the counties along the Arkansas
river, to the southeastern portion
OF The state. There also appears to
nave been isolated storms in other
sections Of southern Arkansas.
Telephone connections are in such
shape as TO make il almost impos-
slDle to get an accurate story Of the
storm. Southeastern Arkansas ex-
changes are badly crippled it being
impossible to get into McGehee and
some adjacent points. keo was out
very early Monday morning. but
a large repairing crew was put on
the job at once by the Little Rock
Office and the lines will be placed
IN order as quickly as possible.
TO add to storm difficulties. fbe
Arkansas river promises to go on a
regular rampage again. The wealth
er bureau has received notice from
Ft. Smith TO the effect that due TO
excessive rains in Oklahoma and
Kansas, the river at that point has
reached stage of 10 feet, and will
be p feet by Tuesday, with rise of
at least another foot by Wednes-
day. This will place il six feet
above the flood stage at TT. Smith.
The river at Little Rock will
reach flood stage some time this
week, as the result of this rise. al
though the bureau could not tell
Just what stage would be reached
here, or what the possible effects
OF the rise will be throughout The
valley to the south. 1t is feared
That this rise will work damage at
the state farm, as reports by engi-
neers from there state that a pro-
nounced rise before the levee can
be repaired or the additional loop
constructed would result in en-
dangerlng life and property in
counties Immediately south of the
farm.
