GREATNESS OF
THE STATE FAIR
OF ARKANSAS
Animal Exhibition at Hot Springs Is
One Of the Best in the
Southwest.

The peoDIa of Arkansas do not ap-
Dreciate the greatness and magnlSuue
of t.a Arkansas State Fair at hot
5nrinqs Here within the past few
Gears has been built UP one OF the
strongest and most permanent lnsti-
tutiOns of the kind in the Southwest.
The Arkansas State Fair is in a
class with other fairs Of surrounding
states that have been financed Dy
thousands Of dollars of state money.
In to this time not a dollar has been
appropriated by the State for the
arkansas STATE Fair.
This great reflector Of Arkansas
7rOgress and Advancement - this
show window of the State Of Arkan-
sas-this great educator in the in
dustrial affairs Of Arkansas people
has in few years taken its place
among the greatest state fairs OF the
country.
Tris is due to several influences.
First. Hot Springs is the natural
location Of great institution Ike
the Arkansas State Fair. The great
est health and pleasure resort IN the
world, the people from all sections
Of the United States, and from FOR
aign countries, make an annua. pill
ertn7aga to Hot Springs, and the city
fa usually full of visitors during the
fall season when the State Fair Oc-
ours. These visitors from state and
nation find here the finest, most ex-
nansive and best appointed fair
grounds in the Country-beautiful
Oaklawn park, with its splendid race
course, known to every hOrseman in
he country, and its magnifcent and
r1o5ernly appointed buildings, all
vi+hing easy access from the bust
ness section.
The State Fair Of Arkansas has
come to be a permanent realitv-
with its half million dollar grounds,
and IS a reflection Of the enterprise
and progress Of our people as well
es the phvsical and financial re-
sources Of the State. The 1912 ex-
hfbitfon. November 1f-16, inclusive,
will be the greatest in the history Of
the fair, and will eclipse all previous
records.
This year noarlv every county Of
the state will have collective eX-
hibit at the fair, and a person by
visiting the different county exhibits
viii be able to gain IN idea of the
productive possibilities OF each
county. their coil characteristics,
their people, and even their homes
all these are reflected in the great
ytate Fair Of Arkansas The fair
emphasizes the progress and mirrors
like a great show window the mar
ve'ous achievements Of a great peo-
0le.
The manaeemeNt Of the Arkar~0 9
state Fair, assured Of the encoura gs-
~ent ard patronage Of the people
in building At HOY Springs a State
Fair that shall dtand among the
oreatest in the union, will not dis
anDoint a single Visitor during the
weel, Of November II 70 tG, and the
exhibit should be visited by every
resident Of the state who can possi-
bly, make arrangements 20 come.

new features
AT ARKANSAS
1912 STATE FAIR
Many Spectacular Exhibitions and
Special Attractions Have
Been Booked.

II has been the policy Of the Ar
kansas State Fair to offer something
new and novel in the entertainment
line each year, and for the 1912 fair
the management has arranged for
the most spectacular and gorgeous
exhibitions ever attempted by any
fair. The week will be replSte with
new and novel features, new spec
tacIes, new sensations, the daily pro-
gram being a veTitable procession of
features to delight and astound the
public.
At tire head of these attractions
will be Pains greatest pyrotechnic
success, "The Last Days of POmDeii, "
the most gorgeous and delightful
fireworks spectacle ever produced.
Pain has put on many similar spec
tacles in the past, but never has he
approached in stuDendOus display or
gorgeous spectacle this great work.
1t requires a small army Of people
to carry out this great pyrCtechnic
display and it is without doubt the
greatest exhibition of the kind ever
given in the South
There will be a beautiful display
of day fireworks every afternoon,
while at night the entire State Fair
grounds will be made resplendent
with the myriads Of COlOred lights,
the magnificent fire spectacles, and
on everv night of the fair will be
staged the great race Of the chariots
of fire. Two four-horse chariots
will race the entire length Of Oak
lawn track, while from the wheels
and the body Of the chariots, as we'll
as from the helmets Of the drivers,
will be DISCHARGED thousands of vari-
coIored fireworks, Illuminating the
race course its entire length.
Then there will be the Dance Of
All Nations" in which hundreds Of
children will participate every day, a
pretty panorama showing the dances
of every nation Of the world.
The Ramsay family reunion, and
Ramsay Day, will be feature Of
special interest to the people Of Ar
kansas, as It is expected that there
viii be fully 500 members of this
famous clan participating in its an
nual meeting.
On the midway will be half a hun
dred shows, concessions and amuse-
nents, while on each and every day
OF the fair special features and at
fractions will be given, the program
for which will be announced later,

OF A PROMINENT WOMAN
Washington Society is Startled
by Revelation in Juvenile
Court Case
IN CHARGE OF NEGRESS
Found by Police a Prisoner
Amid Horrible Conditions
kidnapping is Feared

WASHINGTON. Aug. l4.-That a
woman prominent in Washington is
the mother OF Joe MILFORD Johnson, q
bedraggled little Walt OF about ten
years, found prisoner, amid unspeak-
able squalor, in the home of Nora
Johnson, a Negress, and that the
mother desired that he should sue
cumb TO the Imprisonment, was the
claim OF police here today. The Ne
gress claims the boy as her own, but
third degree developed numerous
contradictions In her story, and the
boy himself told OF his white moth
err" and OF beatings which she admin
istered because he called her moth
err"
The child was found by the police
after having been imprisoned in a
dark room for at least. month His
physical condition is such that police
have postponed a detailed questioning
or the boy. To prevent any possible
attempt at his kidnapping, the child
was today taken from the detention
station, his whereabouts being kept
secret by the board OF chlldren's
guardians. The Negress Is held TO
dHoWGI a ChdI6c VI maui CdllhB LhC
boy.
The police charge that the Johnson
woman was merely paid nurse and
Juvenile Court Judge Delancey's dec
laration that the boy was given into
her care as part OF "A studied attempt
TO place him where he would die, was
believed to have been supported by
letter which detectives found in the
Johnson home. The contents were not
made public, but the police said 1t was
written by a prominent woman and
mentioned a number OF names OF per-
sons from whom they expect TO secure
evidence of the child's parents.
Joe Johnson referred to the Negress
as his "Brown-faced mother and to
some other woman as MY white
mother" The latter he said, frequent
ly came to see him at the Negress'
home, at night. Judge Delaney, who
said the boy was one Of the brightest
he had ever had before him in court,
today believed that the child might be
able TO give the police corroborative
description OF his mother.
The Johnson woman almost broke
down under cross-questioning and
mumbled that she would BE loyal to
them" but the police could elicit no
further information.

NEW YORK, Aug 1.-THE upward

The statute requires that when a
prisoner pleads guilty the court must
ask him. the first thing, whether any
promises or inducements have been
held out to him by the prosecutor In
consideration OF that plea" said Mr..
Jasnowski. The court cannot recog-
nize any promises or inducements that
may be made. IL the prisoner pleads
guilty he has only TO sentence him In
accordance with the provisions OF the
law, the same as though he were tried
and found guilty. You can see by
that that we couldn't AFFORD to make
any promises TO Schreiter."
But the prosecutors ONCE has not
asked for a warrant on which Schreit-
er can be brought to trial on the
charge of bribery. and Schreiter is
saying TO his friends that he expects

Schreiter was at his ONCE for few
minutes, Wednesday morning, and lat

His reason for confessing, as he gave

MONEY RATES INCREASE.
Trouble on Political Horizon Causes
Advance in Europe.

BERLIN, October 29.-The rise Of money
rates in Paris and London causes appre-
hension here of another general advance
in the bank rates Of England, France
and Germany. owing to the troubled po-
litical horizon.
The exchange on London here Is rising
sharply, and is already above the gold
export point. due chiefly to America
financing cotton bills.
There was heavy liquidation on the
bOurse. Several provincial failures were
reported and some other concerns are
understood to be holding out only by
means Of the support given them by the
big banks. 1t is feared that a number Of
firms not thus supported will be unable
to meet their obligations at the settle
ment at the end of the month.
The fall since the October settlement
has been heavier in many cases than
during the time of the Russo-Japanese
war.
