of his death he was living with his

GATES SURE WE'LL
WIN WITH WILSON

Little Rock, Aug. 29.-David A.
Gates of the Araknsas Tax Commits
sion returned from the east with
the most glowing reports of Demo
cratic prospects. He said that where
ever he went the people believe that
Wilson will be elected. 1t is conced-
ed that he has more than an equal
chance to carry Massachusetts. New
York will certainly fall into the Will
son column.
AT Columbus, O., Mr.. Gates spent
a day in conference with the Tax
Commission, and called upon Gov
Harmon, who assured him that Ohio
will go Democratic.

FIRST BALE ON
LOCAL MARKET

The first bale of cotton was
brought to the Conway market today
by o. X. Bradley, the bale being
grown on the A. NJ Ledbetter place
on the Arkansas river. Interest in
the arrival of the bale was lessened
by the fact that Col j. L. Little had
already produced bale in this coun-
ty, which, however, was sent by eX-
press to Little Rock.
w. b. Stark purchased Mr.. Brad
ley's bale for the firm of Frauenthal
& Schwarz, paying Is cents ,or about
four cents above the market value Of
the staple today. The bale weighed
42l pounds.

traitor, claimed that his father had
very little money at the time of his
death, and that he had turned over
all of his personal property, except
some land notes, to him for taking
care of him, and he was corroborated
as to this by a number of neighbors
and relatives. The exceptions to the
inventory were filed by L. A. Stone,
who charged that his brother had
concealed and failed to inventory
certain horses, mules, cattle and 81
300 in money. The case will probab-
ly be appealed to circuit court.

FARMERS SCHOOL
DISTINCT SUCCESS
ATTENDANCE OVER 400
FIRST EXTENSION COURSE IN
STATE MAY BE FOLLOW
ED BY MANY OTHERS.

Morrilton, Aug. 29.-No effort IN
the line of taking college instruction
to the farmer and fruit grower was
ever attended with greater success
than the one week extension school
just closed at Morrilton in Conway
county, and conducted by the Uniyer-
slty of Arkansas Agricultural Exten-
sion Department. The greatest in
terest has been shown by both the
farmers and leading, business men of
Morrilton IN the work OF the school
The daily audiences have been COM
posed OF both farm business men and
city-business men. This was partic-
ularly significant and gratifying, as
the interest of these is mutual
Courses of several lectures were CIV
en- in several different subjects of I'M
mediate interest in the locality, and
the faithfulness of those enrolled in
attending all the work day after dav
was most gratifying.
A feature of special interest was
reception given the visiting farmers
Wednesday evening at the beaut: full
home of f. E. Mitchell, one of the
leading merchants. There was mu-
sic, number of crisp speeches, and
refreshments served. The citizens of
Morrilton have shown themselves
splendid hosts, and have left nothing
undone to make the stay of the visit
ing farmers not only instructive but
pleasant. There was, on Thursday
evening, a splendid band concert and
free entertainment on other evenings
in the way of popular lectures and
picture shows.
This is the first extension school
ever held in the state The opinion
of all in attendance is that this has
been by far the greatest and most
successful they have ever known in
the state. A farmer said he wouldn't
take forty dollars for what he got at
one lecture. This school is much more
thorough and extended than a mere
farmers institute.
Prof. J. NJ Wilson is in charge of
extension work of the University and
College of Agriculture at Fayette-
vile. He was assisted in the school
at Morr:lton by Ernest Walker, pro-
fessor OF horticulture at the Univer-
sity, w. G. Lassetter, assistant agron-
omist, w. c, Thompson, assistant in
animal husbandry, DR.. }. +. Stanford,
veterinarian, and H, S. Mobley, as
sistant in extension. In addition to
these members of the University and
agricultural college faculty, address,
es were. delivered by DR.. c. H.
Brough, professor of economics and
J. II. Reynolds, acting president of
the University.
The sessions were held in the splen-
did auditorium of the high school.
1t is the desire of Prof. Wilson to
carry this work to all other counties
in the state where the interest is suf-
ficient to create good attendance,
and justify the labor and expense.

Little Rock, Aug. 29.-Another step

100000 preferred, of which $4,000
has been subscribed. Its offices shall
be with the Arkansas Cold Storage
Co., the president of which, Ed Cor
nish, is president of the new company.
Chris Ledwidge is president, C.
+. Rose secretary and Ike Kempner
treasurer.
The company is organized for the
purpose of building or leasing, oper-
ating and maintaining electric plants
for furnishing power, light, heat or
for any other purposes for which
electrical current may be used, and
for developing water powers and
transmitting electrical current from
water power stations to Little Rock
or other cities in the state of Arkan-
sas, and furnishing light, heat and
power and current to municipalities

\II()RL Us
Strongest Woman IS. With the
Great .Barnum and i
Bailey Circus.

Katie Sandwina, the strongest
woman in the word, Will be seen in
Clarksburg Thursday, July II, with
Barnum and Bailey's great circus. .
Mss Sandwina is not on'y the
strongest of the earth's women, but
also the most beautiful, the most
symmetrical and the best trained.
As an athlete no man is her equal.
The act she presents is a distinct
novelty. She pits her strength
against that of horse and wins in
the contest. las thriller this act
is more satisfying to an audience
than all the mechanical contraptions
ever built in circus ring. 1t has
real dramatic thrills and genuine
suspenses and does not depend on
gruesome machinery to give 1t eff
feet.
Another sensational act is pre-
sented by a company of Japanese
warriors in an exhibition of ath-
letics, workmanship, wrestling, jiu
jitsu and pugilism that is new to
America. No act like this was ever
seen in America until this season.
1t is rare novelty and not to be
confused with the tame Jap acts of
the past that are merely confined to
feats of balancing and equilibrism.
These men are not the small types
of Japanese manhood commonly
seen in America, but great muscular
fellows who Will compare in Drawn
and stature with the giants 70 Eu-
ropean countries. The act has
been imported direct from the court
of the Mikado.
The circus has many more ex-
iceedingly fine acts in which are dis
played wonderful intelligence on the
part of animals and the highest tai
ents on the part OF the shows vari-
Gus trainers. There is troupe OF
Hungarian stations that express the
uLIeT llullIS OF Cu6 pOSSluIe dlOu6
these lines. From the time they
enter the arena until their act is
finished, they remain standing on
their hind feet. One of them plays
the landlord of an inn. Another
comes for food and a nights lodg-
ing. Mine Host lays a dainty sup
per before him. This over with, he
lights candle and shows his guest
to bed. Morning comes and the
landlord rings the breakfast bell g.
The guest is lazy and refuses to get
up. Mine host takes him by the
ear and tumbles him out OF bed.
They get into row and third
horse, dressed as an officer, arrests
the stormy boarder.
Another acts is presented by Win
ston's seals. They ride horses, and
while doing so, juggle fire brands
and swords, tossing them back and
forth among themselves. This is
