ONLY THING IS TO FIND HER Every Man Has an Affinity Somewhere on the Earth, Is a Law of
 Nature. Every man has a best girl waiting

Every man has best girl waiting for him somewhere in the world. The moment that he is born, the catalogue clerk in Times great factory assigns him to a best girl or else puts him on the waiting list
 There is no escaping your best girl No matter where she may be born or how far apart from her you were when you started, the inevitable attraction will work your destiny, and when you meet you will both know it.
 All that Is lacking is the material realization, and inasmuch as all ideas eventually find their way to the sur face, yours is bound to come.
 Sometim es mans best girl Is home ly; sometimes her mouth is not a cupid's bow, and her features are IT, regular; that makes no difference; he will love her just the same when he meets her.
 Also, she may be another mans wife. Such things have been known.
 Here's hoping that it will not hap pen to you.-Life.

N|Ll1|ANEN AND
 NEGROES CLASH Members Of Arkansas National Guard Start Race Riot
 al Fordyce.
FOUR COMPANIES ARRESTED
TWO hundred Men Held Pending Tn. quiry-Fourteen Negroes Are
 Injured.

rdyee.-fourteen negroes were injured and property in tue negro quarter of the city vas badly damaS ed, In the course of race riot pre-. clpltated by four companies of the AfKansaS National Guard, who were hefe enroute to Alexandria. La, to take part in the military maneuyers. Alter quiet had been restored, Sheriff Benton, acting under instructions rom Governor Donaghey, arrested the members of companies from Jones. boro, Piggott, Blylheville and Black ROCK and the men were held in For Gyce pending an investigation.
 The city was thrown into a commo lion by the action of the soldiers and excitement was high for some time The trouble began soon after the atri val of the soldiers.
 They began an invasion of the ct.y Apparently picking the negro portion Tor their raid. Henry Tidwell, ne. gro, was the first attacked, and WAS stabbed i'll the back with a sharp in. strument. Frank Mckinney, also negro, was attacked and badly beaten about the head. Tidwell was taken 10 the office of physician nearby and his wounds dressed. When he again appeared upon the street he was again attacked and beaten by the mllltlamen until unconscious.
 The soldiers next visited a peel. room owned by q local negro. This place was almost completely wreck. ed, the front plate glass being broken and the tales upset All efforts to argue with the soldiers by local of. fieers were fruitless. Owing 10 the number of soldiers the local officers were unable to cope with them, and Mayor w. C. Cable called mass meeting to discuss means to quiet the trouble. The meeting resulted in an appeal by telephone 10 Gov. Donaghey at Hot Springs. Gov. Donaghey in- structed Mayor Cable to arrest all the members of the companies holding the entire party in Fordyce, if necessary to put stop to the trouble
 After an investigation of the charg- es Gov. Donaghey ordered that Capt. Hickey of Company c. Jonesboro, be dishonorably discharged. He did this after evidence had been presented tending to show that Capt. Hickey had made no effort to stop the depre. dations of his men and had refused to aid the city and county authorities in restoring order.
 Acting under this order, the meuD bers of Company G were lined up on the Rock Island right of way and Gen B. w. Green publicly announced the dishonorable discharge of Capt. Hick. ey and reprmanded the entire com. pany in severe terms.
 Gov. Donaghey also ordered the sol. diers to pay the cost of repairing the property damaged and medical attend. ance upon the injured, At his request the prosecution was then dropped

 But hold on. ma'am, said the agent. I must ask you, please. for the first years premium,
 The first years premium, said she. And how much will that be-
 There it Is. ma'am, written on the policy, said the agent. A small matter of $24.'
 Oh said the old lady. I'm in a hurry this morning You just let the premiums stand and deduct them when the barn burns down."

THE WARDENsH|P' FIGHT

strong fight for The removal of
Ray Baker from tho warienship
of the State prison. in Tuesdays
issue, it gives the following rea-
sons ~hy Bakers official head
should be cut off ard thrown away
from the public trouh:
From time imm anDrIal it has
been considered to be the greatest
mark Of cowardice for man to take
refuge behind the skirts o. a. wo-
man, and he, who did so placed
himself beyond the pale of respect
ability and was mar <ed as one
willing to go to any leagth 10 gain
the desired end.
The people of the state of Ne
vada have had an instance of this
kind brought to their attention
through the newspaper reports,
that have appeared at various
times in certain pagers Of this
state, and also in coast journals,
re garding the pri soil situs lion in
this state. 1t is kcoVn to all that
Governor Oddie has requested the
resignation of Warden Baker,
deeming the same for the benefit
of the state, and those WHO have
kept closely in touch with the
matter are bound TO acknowledge
that the sooner Baker was out of
the position, the letter it would
be for the general welfare.
Warden Baker has refr led to
resign and has used every effort to
hold the position. Every wire
that could possibly be pulled has
been jerked loose from its fasten-
ings and the truth has been so
man-handled in the affair hat it
has been crushed for may feet
below the surface of the earth but
will arise again to the undoinR of
the one who fathered it.
Now comes an article in the San
Francisco and Sac"arr ento papers,
designed to injure Oadie and 10
place The stock CT Baker SON ewhere
near par, to the effsct that Oddie
wishes to get rid of Baker because
sister-in-law Of E.aknr will not
become the wife Of Ojdie. This is
not the first time that this charge
has been printed in the press dis
patches and we have lie first time
to hear of its ever being deried by
Baker or any of his family.
Truth bears out the fast that
when Baker was asled t. resign
from the wardcnshio O; the prison,
tnat telegram was sent 20 the
lady in question, to hnsten 20 this
city which she did ~ tn. first
train and for sGvcrE; werks has
been one of the Baker family at
the prison. Governoa Odjie has
not taken the News into bis con-
tidence in regard to the c1atters
wherein this lady is c0nccrn ed. He
does rot speak of q matter wherein
this lady's name would be banded
about as Governor Oddic is a
gentleman.
The articles appearing n the
press IT the state have undoubtedly
been Inspired by Warden Edker in
an attempt to coerce Governor
Oddie to back up en- rs attempt to
Gust the warden, WHO has proven
TO be incapable to hold the posi-
ton, which by the vote Of Cover
nor Ohdie, he was appointed to fill.
That nothing shou j be eft I'M
done, the name of the lady lady
who bears most estimable raputa-
ton ard of whom Gorerno. 01die
speaks in the highes. teri s--has
used by Baker to gain the desired
