WATER PRESSURE
ON CONTINUOUSLY

Through arrangements made by
Chairman 10 Frauenthal of the i'm
provement district board, full pres
sure will be maintained continuously
on the mains of the local waterworks
system while the pipes are being re-
paired by the contractor. For some
time past pressure was kept only
during working hours and the sys-
tenn was useless for fire protection in
the latter part of the night and on
Sundays. Although the plant is Of
course still in the hands of the con-
tractor, Mr.. Frauenthal made ar
rangements for a sufficient amount of
extra pumping to keep supply OF
water in the reservoir and an 80
pound pressure "a hours in the day.

Little Rock, July 6.-While the
date has not been set definitely, it is
expected that the state board of cleo
ton commissioners will meet about
July 20, for the purpose of appoint
ing the county election commission
ers. Recommendations are pouring
in from the various counties, and in
many instances personal interviews
are being sought with the members
of the board in the interest of var
rious factions There is always
more or less of a contest in many
counties where factions seek advant-
age, and it is expected there will be
contests in at least % counties.

DRAINING Desert Lands.

One of the curiosities of irrigation Is
that it is sometimes necessary to drain
such lands. When the lands are STU
ated on a comparatively level, the
water from the irrigation ditch above
seeps along the line between the rock
formation and in many cases accumu-
lates in such an amount that it actual
ly becomes swampy. Then it has to
be drained, just as in the case of the
the south. 1t seems strange to wit
ness the laying of a drainage system
in an arid country, but it has been
done a great many times. The aver
age user of irrigation who fails may
trace his lack of success to the too
liberal use of water. Instead of water
ing he really browns his crops.

SHE BLAMES Esprit WIFE"
Mrs. William Phelps Dodge Divorced
Husband Because Uncanny In
fluence Ruled Him.

The uncanny influence of a spirit
wife" is said to have been responsible
for the divorce action which Mrs. VIII
liam Phelps Dodge has just won
against her millionaire husband.
The decree, which was signed in
Philadelphia, would have been grant
ed several weeks ago, it is under
stood, but the judge wanted to make
a longer investigation of the unusual
charges brought by the girl wife OF
the widely known author and lawyer.
According to the papers in the case.
Mr.. Dodge, who is forty-eight years
old, met his young bride here at Sher-
rvs on election night, 1909, and after
an impetuous wooing, married her in
London on January 10, 1910.
Prior to that time she and her sis
ter had been in the chorus of "Ha-
vana," a musical comedy playing at
the Casino.
Despite the difference in their ages
the bride was only eighteen-the
couple lived happily for couple OF
months after the wedding. Then Mrs.
Dodge charges that the spirit of Mr..
Dodge's first wife, Ethel, appeared be-
fore him and began to pick on" her
successor.
Young Mrs. Dodge said that when
ever she wore a jewel veil or any
thing that the first Mrs. Dodge had
possessed, the latters spirit would APP
pear before her husband and demand
that he have it removed at once.
And, according to the girl-wife, the
spirit-wife was always obeyed.
This treatment got on the nerves OF
the youthful Mrs Dodge finally, and
she packed up and returned to this
country, leaving Mr.. Dodge in London.
Immediately on her arrival here, she
applied for the divorce through her
mother, as guardian, and charged that
cruel, barbarous and inhuman treat
ment had been inflicted upon her by
her husband.-New York Evening

FOLLOWS DONACHfY
TO HOT SPRINGS
PINDALL CONTINUES PLEA
GOVERNOR NOT EXPECTED TO
INTERFERE WITH RHEA'S
SENTENCE.

Little Rock, July 6.-The indica-
tions are than Governor Donaghey
will not interfere in the execution of
w. S. Rhea at Arkansas City next
Friday. That is the position he took
Thursday afternoon when Rhea' S
faithful counsel, X. 0. Pindall, made
his usual call upon him. But Mr..
Pindall declines to accept this as
final.
"That boy is as innocent as l am
declared Mr. Pindall, land I propose
to fight to the last against his judi
cial murder"
Governor Donaghey and Mrs. Don
aghey left Friday night for Hot
Springs for a stay of three weeks,
but the governor will return to his
office from time to time for the tran
saction of necessary business. Mr..
Pindall says that he will go to Hot
Springs also, and will see the COVER
nor every day, and continue to i'm
plore for clemency for the condemned
man, at least to the extent of stay
of execution until after the trial of
the negroes charged with the same
crime.
Governor Donaghey has during the
past few months gone thoroughly ov-
err all the records in the case, has
heard frequent arguments by Mr..
Pindall, has discussed the case with
Judge Grace and Prosecuting Attor-
ney Nixon, has heard the testimony
of negroes who did not testify in the
trial, and after carefully weighing
all these things, he. is convinced at
the present time. of Rhea's guilt.
Unless some stronger pressure is
brought to bear upon him than has
been presented up to this time, It is
very probable that Governor Dona-
ghey will not interfere with the exc
cution of Rhea next Friday.

KING ANNOUNCES
FAIR MEETING
Eron SATURDAYS Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
J. A. King, manager of the Faux
ner county fair, and chairman Of the
temporary state organization of coun-
ty fairs, formed at Little Rock June
10. has issued a call to the secretaries
and officials of the rs county fair as
soc; atons in Arkansas to meet in the
office of C. w. Watson at the old
state house in Little Rock July 8 at
II o'clock a. m. to effect permanent
organization This was the date
agreed upon at the first meeting,
which was called by Secretary George
r. Belding of the state fair. The pur-
pose of the organization is to promote
the interest in county fairs through
out the state, form compact circuits
which would avoid conflicting dates in
the same territory and enable each
fair to have a better class of attrac-
tions and racing stock.
The state fair, it is believed, will
also be benefited, as the new organic
alton will attempt to adopt uniform
premium lists conforming to the reg
ulations of the state fair and thus
greatly increase the number and va
riety of eligible entries of products
at the Hot Springs fair.

LEGAL STRATEGY
STAYS EXECUTION

Little Rock, July 8.-W. S. Rhea
will not be hanged at Arkansas City
next Friday. After Governor Dona-
ghey had given his final decision that
he would not interfere, Rhea's faith
full counsel, Ex-Governor Pindall,
played his trump card by appealing
to the supreme court of the United
States. Judge Trieber of district
court denied a petition for writ of
habeas corpus, whereupon an appeal
was taken with Judge w. M. kava-
naugh and Chris Ledwidge sureties
on a $500 bond.
The grounds upon which he goes to
the highest court are that the court
which tried Rhea was illegal, and
that he is about to be deprived of his
life without due process of law

during dinner and much confusion re-

landlady, Who was a philosophical

that the fire mad not happened at

4Th At CONWAY
SAFE AND SANE

from Fridays Daflx.
In marked contrast with turbulent
scenes and tragedies reported from
nearby places, the Fourth of July at
Conway was one of the quietest days
in Conway's history. No organized
celebration had been arranged for
the day here, and there was gen.
eral exodus of citizens to other towns
and. to private picnic parties given at
various places. Throughout the aft
ernoon the streets were deserted and
Sabbath-like quiet was noticeable
everywhere

To the Honorable Eugene Landlord,
Judge of the Faulkner County Cir
cut Court:
We, the commissioners of accounts,
appointed by your honor at the Janu
airy term, 1912, of said court, beg
leave to submit herewith our report.
We have examined the accounts
current of the justices of the peace
and constables of the county and find
them all correct and proper vouchers
thereto attached, and now attached to
their July term report.

kept and all accounts correct, with
proper vouchers thereto attached.
Also records and accounts of the
sheriff, which are correct with proper
vouchers thereto ATTACHED.
We have examined the collectors
settlements for taxes collected for the

find that the collector had turned ov-
er to the proper officers the amount
Justly due, for which said settlement
shows proper vouchers thereto at
tached.
The present collectors settlement
for the taxes collected for the year
1911 has not been examined by us, as
our work does not extend beyond the

We have examined the records and
vouchers of the county treasurer, and
after a careful investigation of same
as to debts and credits, We find he

as follows: Graduated statement
showing $12,11203 in currency and
$758.64 in county scrip
We find to the credit of the county
treasurer, in, the Bank of Conway
$6,276.13, and in the Faulkner Coun-
ty Bank, $5,877.77; total, 2,153.9O.
AS per certificates from each bank
hereto attached.
We have. checked and compared the
county scrip with treasurer's and
county clerks books, and with regis
ter of warrants and county court rec
ord, and find that the sum of $751;
25270 has been cancelled by the coun-
ty court. and hereto attached is an
itemized list of same.
We have examined and compared
the school warrants on file with the
county treasurer and county clerks
books, and find same properly entered
on record, which amounts to the sum
of $43, 561.84, said amount having
been paid out by the county treasur-
er. An itemized list is hereto at
tached.
Before completing our labors Of
nine days, we, in the presence of the
county judge, j. A. Lea, proceeded
to and did burn $lo,252.1O IN county
scrip, $4,000 of this bridge scrip,
which is now i'll circulation; likewise
$43,561.84 in school warrants went
