These figures will surprise the
average man who laughs about
measles as one Of the amusing incl
dents Of childhood" said DR.. John r.
Anderson, director of the United
States Hygienic~L Laboratory, who COM
piled the table.
DR.. Anderson and DR.. Joseph Gold-
berg, passed assistant surgeon in the
public health service, will present a
paper to the international Congress Of
hygiene and Demography on their ex-
periments with monkeys in the past
three years, carried on for the purpos
OF obtaining an antitoxin for measles.
Monkeys and Measles.
Or. Anderson said today: Our ex-
periments haV shown that at least
three species Of the lower monkeys ara
to measles, and it is quite
probable that all monkeys are capable
OF taking the disease. We have found
that monkeys can be tnoculated with
measles in various ways and that they
also may contract the disease when
placed in a age with a sick monkey
curing the early period Of the disease.
The first indication Of a reaction
from the incubation Of a monkey IS
usually a rise in temperature. There
is always danger Of a complication or
bronchitis or pneumonia. The erup-
ton usually begins to appear about
the third day. In most cases it is first
noticed on the chest or abdomen. Be

The FIsu in History,

1t can hardly be doubted that flags,
or their equivalent. were used very
early in the worlds history. Among
the buried remnants of early races
and civilization are found records OF
objects which were apparently used
as ensigns. These are accepted as
evidence that the ancient Egyptian
soldiers were not without their
standards. The Assyrians and Jews
also carried something similar IN de,
sign and purpose.

THE POULTRY SHOW
A HUGE SUCCESS
JUDGE GIMLIN PRAISES FAULK-
NER'S SHOW-OVER SIX HUN
DRED BIRDS ENTERED.

With the largest entry list yet, the
Faulkner county poultry show reached
the high-water mark in qualiy also.
Judge Gimhn, one of the best known
poultry judges in America, says that
the show is much above the average,
the entries in Brown Leghorns and
White Wyandottes being especially
fine. Six hundred birds, representing
almost all the breeds, have been en-
tered, the Rhode Island Reds being
most numerous. One of the curiosities
of the show is hen II years old, en-
tered by G. H. Griffin of Vilonia.
Superintendent L. B. Pence stated
this morning that on account of the
large entry list, Judge Gimlin could
not possibly finish grading the birds
until this afternoon, and the winners
Of the different prizes would not be
announced until sometime tomorrow.
Five handsome loving cups are to be
awarded to the winners.
As a departure from the previous
shows, an egg contest has. been added,
and large number have been entered.
Judge Gimlin will also grade the eggs.

WEBB TO RESIGN
SDEM0NSTRATOR
WANTS WORK CONTINUED
FAULKNER COUNTY AGENT
SAYS 1T WOULD BE A MIS-
TAKE TO DROP IT.
From Mondays Daily.

From Mondays Daily
although County Farm Demonstra-
ton Agent S. B. Webb will not ac-
cept appointment as agent for
Faulkner county, he states that he is
Of the work in this county and earn
estiy hopes the quorum court will not
fail TO make an appropriation for a
demonstration agent. Mr.. Webb in
formed the Log Cabin Democrat that
ne will probably return to Little Rock
TO make his home at the expiration of
his service here, but he intends to do
everything possible during the re-
raainder of his time here to increase
the sentiment for modern farm
methods.
While it may seem to some that
little has been accomplished" said
Mr.. Webb, II feel sure that anyone
who will give the matter careful con-
sideration will be convinced of the
value of an experienced demonstra-
principles of the demonstration sys-
tezo Of agriculture are deep fall plow-
ing, careful seed selection, thorough
preparation of seed bed and shallow
and frequent cultivation. Many other
principles are urged by the agricul-
tural department, but these four are
by far the most important.
Now it is true that very few of the
farmers put into effect each and every
one Of these principles. But if he has
adopted only one or two of them he
is the beneficiary to that extent and
his production is thereby increased.
And sooner or later he will see the
benefit of adopting all of the princi-
pies and will become farmer of the
most advanced and progressive type.
What the county needs is a man
thoroughly imbued with knowledge
Of these advanced ideas in agriculture
70 visit the farmers regularly and en-
deavor to instill these ideas in their
rrfinGs. Faulkner county has as pro-
ssressive set of farmers as will be
found in any county in Arkansas. The
majority of them are ready and will
ling TO adopt any methods that have
been shown to be for the advancement
of their calling. | certainly hope that
the county will not take a backward
step and fail to make provision for a
demonstrator next year, although /
regret that under any circumstances
could not again accept the position" !"

HERE TOMORROW
EXHIBITS ABOVE AVERAGE
CITY'S SCHOOLS AND MOST OF
STORES ARE CLOSED TODAY
TO ATTEND FAIR
From Wednesdays Daily.

FROM wednesday Dallys
Interest in the fair continues un-
abated and immense crowds are pour
ing in at the big gates. It is conf
IDENTIFY expected by those in touch with
the situation that the attendance fig
ures will surpass those of any previous
fair.
Each department of the fair is far
above the usual standard, and judges
are hard at work selecting the win
ners. On account of several of the
lists being incomplete, the Log Cabin
Democrat is unable to give list of
winners in none of the departments
today, but we are assured that they
will be ready for tomorrow's paper.
Several of the city's leading firms
and most of the schools are closed for
the afternoon, which is noticeably
swelling the attendance.
The big features of today's program
is huge sham battle staged by Co. A
of the Arkansas National Guard. The
troops went through their drills and
pitched their tents in the square in
front of the grandstand this morning,
and the big battle is to be staged at 5
o'clock this afternoon.
The big dirigible balloon made only
a short ascension yesterday in order
to let the birdman become acquainted
with the air currents. A longer and
more extended flight is promised for
today. Last nights fireworks and
performance by the acrobatic troupe
were very meritorious and received the
hearty commentator of the crowd.
By far the largest and best selected
exhibits ever shown in Conway are on
display at the fair. In the lower floor
of the large exhibit hall the agricul-
tural products include cotton, boil,
stalk and bale display. Corn, ear,
stalk and package. Kaffir corn, broom
corn, seed, stalk and the manufactur-
ed article These brooms were made,
most of them, from stock grown on the
State Normal farm, and made by the
Conway Broom Factory. The display
of timothy, barley, oats, millet, wheat,
rice, orchard and native grasses, Glow
er and rye were unusually fine. In
the horticultural department the finest
display consisted of apples. peaches,
pears, plums, ounce. persimmon, figs
and a large stalk Of Burbank's cele-
brated hybred, the Wonderberry, also
a limb of pear tree containing 100
matured pears. They are of the rus
set variety, small but perfectly devel-
oped. The vegetable display included

VOTES CERTIFIED
OUT ON ACTS
ALL FAILED OF PASSAGE
BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS DE-
CLINE TO ISSUE CERTIFI-
GATES ON AMENDMENTS.

Little Rock, Oct. 9.-The State
Board of Election Commissioners,
Governor Donaghey, Secretary of
State Hodges and Attorney General
Norwood, met Tuesday afternoon and
certified out the vote on the acts as
follows:
Act No. 1 tTurner-J acobson bill),
for 57,176, against 1899
Act No. 2 Statewide prohibition
bilD, for $1,000, against 85,358.
Act No. (uniform text-books), for
Ga, 1898, against 1901.
The board declined to issue any cer-,
tificate on the amendments, on the
ground that they had no authority to
do SO. Mayor C. E. Taylor and City
Attorney Harry Hale of Little Rock
appeared before the board and urged
the members to certify that the bond
amendment, No. Is, had carried, so
that an issue could be made up i'm
mediately to take to the supreme
court. Governor Donaghey was will
ling to do this, but Norwood and
Hodges would not, and the board
therefore took no action at all on the
amendments, which will go before the
"
passed upon by the speaker
Mayor Taylor presented an opinion
by Hon. George B. Rose, in answer to
the contention of Attorney General
Norwood, who held that the amend
ment was not adopted because it did
not receive a majority of the votes
cast on the subject, and because not
more than three amendments can be
submitted at one election; further,
that if there were no question of its
adoption, that the board has no au-
thority to pass upon it.
The returns, as finally completed,
show 1860 votes cast for the amend.
ment and 55,098 cast against it.
Mr.. Rose says: "A great number of
people fail to vote upon constitutional
amendments and number of amend
ments which were desired by the peo-
pie had failed under the constitutional
provision because a. great part of the
voters had overlooked the constitu-
tional amendments altogether and had
neglected to vote upon them. 1t was
therefore intended to remedy this de-
feet and to count only those who voted
upon this question.
"As for the contention that only
three amendments can be submitted at
one time, that appears in section % of
article 19, and in a limitation only up
on the power of the legislature. The
initiative and referendum amendment
was intended to assert sovereignty of
the people, and it contains no such re-
striction, but leaves the people to pro-
pose as many amendments as they see
fit. What was intended by section %
of article 10 was to prevent the legis-
lature from resolving itself into con-
convention under the pre-
tense of amending the constitution"

In the ladies' department, on the
second floor, the exhibit was the most
attractive and complete in every de-
partment that has ever been present
ed here. In canned and preserved
fruits, vegetables, jellies and pickles,
cakes, pies and breads, the collection
was large and well displayed. The art
exhibit was the largest and best select
ed, as was also the textile display. The
kindergarten work was fine. The ex-
hibit of relics was good, and the floral
display beautiful. In each one of these
departments the executive ability of

Eliminating the amount paid out

ment, the county expenses during the
year were $5,769.53 less than the
gross revenue. In addition to this
nearly $4,000 has been expended in
permanent improvements on the court
house grounds.
The unusually large allowances,
however, have had a depressing effect
on the price of county scrip, which is
now lower than it has been for several
years. From 60 to IS cents on the
dollar seems to be the market price on
scrip at the Present time.
