FIX BAIL FOR
THE ASSAILANT
Little Annette Wenz Will Re-
Cover--Andrecsek in Cell.

AtrOcious assault was charged
against George Andrecsek when he
was arraigned before Recorder Ke-
hoe last night for hitting Annette
Wenz, eighteen months old, daughter
of Adam Wenz, with q chair In his
apartment in the Rosett building at
State and William streets last Sun
day night. He was returned to a
cell in default of $1,000 bail to await
the action of the grand jury. Ste
phen It. Somogyi, a lawyer Of this
city, appeared against him in behalf
of Prosecutor Silzer.
Although 1t is believed the little
victim is out Of the danger zone, she
is in a badly injured state. Her
skull is fractured M n side is
pa~ralyzed. For the past four days
she has fingered between life and
death. At first 1t was thought an
other murder had been added to the
city's list and Andrecsek vas held
without hearing or bail to await the
result Of her injuries. He was first
arraigned last night. 1t was a sorry
sight a score or more of spectators
In the our Dom saw as he was
a~rraigned. He looked worn and bag
gard from suspense Of being locked
up without any intimation of what
might become of him. For a time he
had been in the shadow of the death
chair. Both OF his eyes were dark
ened, presumably from a pummeling
he got from his captors who turned
him ver to Patrolman Hartung
shortly after the crime was commit
ted. His gray hair was dlsarranged
and he was coatless as he stood be
fore the recorder.
Detective Sergeant Long gave de-
tails of the crime, telling the story
of several witnesses as to how the
man has hit his own wife with a
chair and while making a second
blow struck the little Wenz girl on
the head.

Petition Against One Session.
Rev. William II. Bawden, of the
First Baptist church, sent a commu-
nication to the board In which he
discussed the individuality of hold
ing only one session at the high
school, and related the numerous
complaints he has heard against
the idea which is now in force. Rev.
Mr.. Bawden petitioned the board
that a mass meeting of some nature
be called to ascertain the sentiment
of the people at large concerning
this change in high school hours.
Rev. Mr.. Bawden believes it is det-
rimental to the welfare of the
scholars, both mentally and physi-
cally. He submitted a typewriter
list of t~wenty-three names which,
he wrote, were the names of per-
sons who had informed him that
they are opposed to the change.
The name Of Mrs. r. Peterson
was the first on the list, Clerk Col
yer stated, and the board declined
to give to the newspaper men a
copy of the other names. Commits
sioner Fletcher said to the reporters
after the meeting: at would not

RAILROAD ASSESSMENT
 INCREASED 5 PER CENT

Little Rock, August S.-The State Tax Commission has completed the assessment of railroads for the year, and is now working on pipe lines and other public utilities. Under the act creating the commission, it has juris- diction over the assessment of rail roads, telegraph and telephone lines, pipe lines, express and sleeping car companies.
 The total assessments of these cor porations this year will be approxi- mately $S5,000 ,000, as compared with $Sl 100000 for 1911. The assessment in 1908, the year before the commits sion took charge, was $5l ,000,000. The increase of $34 ,000,000 in assess ments put on by the commission means in itself $102,900 more annual ly for the common school fund, $59,- 900 more for the general revenue and $5l ,000 more for the Confederate pen sions. This is in addition to the gen eral raising of assessments, for a large part of which the commission is responsible.

HOLT UPHOLDS I. K.
 ON NEGRO QUESTION

Little Rock, August S.-W. s. Holt, one of the leaders of the Bull Moose faction in Arkansas that favored the recognition of the negro, says that he approves the stand taken by Theodore Roosevelt on the negro question. He considers the Mississippi, Alabama and Florida contests as having been brought about by Taft influences to embarass the new party, and says he would have voted to unseat the dele gations had he been in the convention. He says the action taken does not mean the elimination of the negro, but means that there are other issues of greater moment, and that it may be handled in a sensible, dispassion- ate manner

"We represent the desire to set up an unentangled government, a govern ment that cannot be used for private purposes, either in the field of busi- ness or in the field of politics; gov ernment that will not tolerate the use of the organization of a great party to serve the personal aims and ambi- tions of any individual, and that will not permit legislation to be employed to further any private interest. It is a great conception, but l am free to serve it, as you also are could not have accepted a nomination which left me bound to any man or any group of men.

DEMOCRATS WILL

REPUBLICAN PARTY IS DIVID- ED AGAINST ITSELF-ITS
 DAYS ARE NUMBERED.

To the Democracy of Arkansas:
 The Democratic party in Arkansas begins the campaign of 1912 with an abiding faith in the soundness of it's principles and the integrity of it's nominees. Not dissenting voice can be heard in the ranks; all discord has been banished and, in solid phalanx, the Democratic hosts are moving to- wards the greatest conquest in the history of our state.
 The Republican party, the old ene- my of government by the people, is divided against itself. It's days are numbered; the hand writing is seen upon the wall, and triumphant sue cess is assured to the people in the certain Democratic victories in the approaching state and national cleo tions. The Republican forces are al- ready routed They are fleeing from the field in abject horror, some seek ing refuge with the old machine which now belongs to Taft; others finding no solace there, are won't to follow Roosevelt, that modern Caesar, in the formation of a one-man party. The Democracy, the party of all the people, is undivided, and no cry of

DENVER A REAL
 CITY BEAUTIFUL CIVIC PRIDE IS INTENSE
CITIZENS OF COLORADO MET ROPOL1S WILLINGLY PAY
 FOR ATTRACTIVENESS.
Editorial Correspondence.)


 Denver, Colo, Aug 5.-In the short time we have been in Denver, my op- poltunity for observation has neces sarily been limited, yet, there are a few facts which have come under my notice that may prove of some inter- est to the Log Cabin Democrat read CTS.
 The first things that attract the at tention of the visitor are the clean streets, the beautiful parks and boulevards, the magnificent residence districts and the brilliant illumina- ton of the city at night All Denver seems to be organized into one great City Beautiful Association and the improvement work is in direct charge of the municipal government. There are l42 miles of paved streets, GO miles of paved houlevards and park ways and 362 miles of paved side walks. Even the alleys in the resi- dence districts are paved and kept clean as floor. Every mile of street is sprinkled during the day and at night is swept and washed.
 There IS not a natural forest tree in the city, yet shade trees by the hundreds of thousands line both sides of every street and also the centers of the boulevards. The latter are made more attractive by pretty flow erbeds and fountains. Denver has 29 improved or partly-improved parks containing total of l,0S3 acres, valued at $4,000,000 and maintained at an annual cost of $165,00O, of which S16,000 is spent for music. The city park, of 320 acres, is the largest and most attractive. It has two large lakes, museum, electric fountain and an extensive zoo.
 Every home, however humble and unpretentious, has a lawn of the greenest grass 1 have ever seen, and one of the principal industries of the citizens, morning, noon and night, is watering and caring for their lawns. This is absolutely necessary, as I am told neither grass nor trees would survive any length of time without

"stop, thief" is heard in our midst.
 Our nominees, both state and na- tional, are men of unquestioned abil- ity, undoubted personal and official honesty, and are imbued with the in- born principles of Jetfersonian Dem ocracy, the very foundation upon which this government rests. Their election is already beyond doubt. The size of their majorities in Arkansas must be record breakers. An over whelming Democratic victory in the state election, to be held on Septem- Der 9, will add strength to the na- tional Democratic ticket in November. Let us give the state ticket the great est majority every recorded. Let us all get out and work for the nominees from the governor down. Let us bury in an avalanche of ballots the last vestige of Republican opposition in Arkansas.
 An active campaign will be waged. Able speakers will be in the field. The campaign will be notable one. Ev- cry Democrat must do his part.
 The executive committed, which is in charge of the campaign, desires the full cooperation of all Democrats throughout the state. A campaign fund by popular subscription is de- sired Who will head the list? Speak CTS who will volunteer their time and services are requested to notify the chairman or secretary, at Democratic Headquarters, Room 221, Southern Trust Building, Little Rock.
 The committee also desires to CO., operate with and assist the Democrat ic nominees in each county, and to be informed of any picnics, celebrations, reunions, barbecues or the like, with their dates, in order that speakers may be furnished if desired.

constant irrigation.


 The electric lighting of the busi- ness district is distinctively attrac- tive feature. At night the streets seem literally ablaze While the city maintains eight big arc lights to each block, mounted on ornamental pedes- tals, these seem dark when contrasted with the illumination of the buildings on either side. Every house, of course, has it's electric signs, some of which are strikingly unique and elab- crate. The walls of one building. the Gas and Electric, are studded with more than 100000 electric bulbs.
 These, as l have said, are some of the things that first attract the atten- ton of the visitor, but there are hun dreds of other things of interest in Denver, among which shall write at this time of only few. The things have mentioned cost immense sums of money and the tax rate is enor- mously high, yet so far as l can learn, the people are so thoroughly imbued with the spirit of progress and the sense of the aesthetic that they raise no objection to the cost. Denver's water system is a public utility of which she is justly proud. The water is impounded in canon far us the slopes of the Rockies, a dam over POO feet high retaining the melted snow as it descends the moun- tainside. It is carried thence in con- duits, tunnels and fumes to the foot hills near Denver, where, after being filtered, it is piped to the city. Wood en mains are used to conduct the wat CT from the reservoirs, but practical ly all of the distribution system is of cast iron mains.
 The crop of tourists, upon which the prosperity of Denver largely de- bends, is said to be smaller this sea- son than for many years, and an era of hard times seems to be on at pres ent. l was informed that fully 25 per cent of both residence and business property is vacant, and few trips in different portions of the city convince me that estimate is not too high. But many new buildings are being con- structed, the property owners evi- dently believing the depression will be short-lived

She Used A
Face RetenO1d

The Siloron Mfg Co. has been orga-

cipe and they have termed it after the
properties it possesses, "ALABAS-

The story told above is true in every
particular with the single exception of
the famous European Beauty's name as
she does not want newspaper nOtoriety.
Alabastrol is something entirely new;
not face powder, neither lotion,
nor Cream.
Yet possesses the properties of all to
more intense degree accomplishing
far better results in a shorter space of
time.
Why use face creams if you only off
set their beneficial properties a NOM
ent later through the application of
skin drying face powders of often
doubtful origin? Powders blow off,
soil your clothes and give your face a
chafed appearance at once indicating
their use.
tbs not so with Alabastrol, it is rub
bed into the skin much as you would a
cream (only after its use you won't
need any creams} and in few seconds
the beneficial and essential oils are alb
