TO PROBE CAUSE
OF HOG FATALITY

On the assurance of Conway mer-
chants that the expense of the in
vestigat;on would be met by them,
County Demonstration S. B. Webb to-
day wired to Dr. J. F. Stanford, chief
veterinarian of the college Of agri-
culture, University of Arkansas, re-
ouesting him to come to Conway at
once and determine if possible the
cause of disease which threatens to
destroy all the hogs in Faulkner
county. Mr. Webb had previously
written DR.. Stanford about the mat
ter and received a letter from hin
this morning stating that he woulc
come if his personal expenses were
paid. A telegram requesting the
veterinarian to come at once was i'm
mediately sent.
In his letter DR.. Stanford states
that the disease is probably swine
plague, which usually but not Away
accompanies hog cholera.

TO RETRY JONES
CASE NEXT WEEK

Little Rock, July 16.-Standing 9
to for acqu;ttal, and hopelessly
dead-locked on verdict, the jury in
the trial of former Constable w. A Z.
(Dutch) Jones, for the murder of Po-
lice Sergeant w. L. Campbell, was
discharged by Judge Lea Monday af-
ternoon They had had the case I'M
der consideration since about mid
night Saturday The three who held
out for conviction did not want to
make the crime higher in degree than
manslaughter.
Counsel for the defense asked for
an immediate re-trial and it was re-
set for next Monday, July %, when
the same ground would be gone over
as last week. While suspended from
office as constable pending disposal of
his indictment, Jones is still on the
Democratic ticket as the nominee for
constable at the September election.
No effort has been made to remove
him from the ticket, and should be
be acquitted, it is expected that he
will run through. The Republicans
will probably put out candidate
against him.

he possibly could at Choctaw. Fhe

MUCH BUILDING
IN PROGRESS HERE
From Mondays Daily.

the surgeons have been unable to re-
move. For weeks he lowered between

plead self-defense.

are Mrs. Campbell, mother of the de-

Miss Tinnie Campbell, daughter.

are sitting in the court room with the
accused, and are apparently confident
of the outcome. The case promises
to be One of the most sensational and
stubBornIy contested murder trials of
years.

EXPECT SEVERAL
CARSCANTALOUPES
From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
Probably a dozen cars Of canta-
loupes will be shipped from Conway
this season, in spite of the extremely
unfavorable season, in the opinion of
the truck growers who met at the
courthouse this morning. The meet
ing was called for the purpose of
making arrangements for marketing
the cantaloupes, and after canvass
ing the number expected by each
grower it was decided to wire an or
der for a carload of crates at once.
This will be sufficient to ship six
cars of cantaloupes. Another car of
crates will probably be ordered with
in few days.
w. M. Watts, who planted seven
acres, apparently has the best crop
and expects to gather four or five
cars himself.

BRYAN COMPARED
With ROOSEVELT
LAFOLLETTE SCORES T.R.
CALLS NEBRASKAN A PATRIOT
AND EX-PRESIDENT
A FAkiR.

Under the caption "The case OF
Mr.. Roosevelt" Senator LaFollette
has written an editorial in the cur
rent number of LaFollette's Weekly,
which says in part:
Bryan, at Baltimore, foregoing all
chances of his own nomination, brav-
ing Tammany and the trusts to rec
cue his party from their domination,
carrying the convention for the adop-
ton of the most progressive Demo-
cratic platform yet offered, and the
nomination of the most progressive
Democratic candidate available, was
q towering figure of moral power and
patriotic devotion to civic righteous
ness.
Roosevelt at Chicago, backed by
money derived from the stock water
operation Of the steel trust and the
harvester trust, organized what are
now confessed to have been fake con-
tests as to nearly 200 delegates, in
order to control the Republican con-
vention and secure his own nomina
ton, refusing to aid in making a
progressive platform, bound to have
the nomination or destroy the Repub-
ican party, was most striking ex-
ample of misdirected power and un-
worthy ambition.
Roosevelt had as great an oppor-
tunity to serve the progressive cause
at Chicago as Bryan had at Balti-
more. But Roosevelt was serving the
man, not the cause. He wanted one
thing-he wanted the nomination.
And, yet he did not have enough
votes to nominate himself upon any
honest basis. He did have enough
delegates in that convention ulti-
mately to have nominated a real pro-
gressive and adopt strong progress
siye platform. He could even have
nominated Hadley on such plat
form, and progressive Republicans
could have supported Hadley in much
the same spirit as hundreds of thou
sands of them will now support Will
son.
"But Roosevelt would not consider
Hadley. He would have no one but
himself. At the first suggestion of
Hadley he ordered the third party
maneuvers, lest he lose his followers.
"An analysis of the testimony will,
am convinced, show that neither
Taft nor Roosevelt had a majority of
honestly or regularly elected dele
gates. Each candidate was trying to
seat a sufficient number of fraudu-
lently credentialed delegates to Sc
cure control of the convention and
"steam roll" the nomination.
"This explains the extraordinary
conduct of Roosevelt. He could not
enter upon such an analysis of the
evidence as would prove Taft's regu-
larly elected delegates in the minor
ity without inevitably subjecting his
own spuriously credentialed delegates
to an examination so cflClcaI as
would expose the falsity of his own
contention that he had an honestly
elected majority. He therefore delib-
erately chose to claim everything, to
cry fraud.
"Mr. Roosevelt was not governed
by suggestion of that spirit of high
patriotic and unselfish purpose OF
which Mr. Bryan furnished such a
magnificent example one week later
in the Democratic convention at Bal
timore. Instead, he filled the public
ear with sound and fury. He ruth,
Iessly sacrificed everything TO the one
idea of his being the one candidate.

MAZAMAS MAKE
RECORD CLIMB

A record ascent of Mount Hood was
made Monday morning by Geo. x. Rid
dell, of the Mazamas who scaled the
peak in an hour and So minutes. -Four
hours and 10 minutes is said to be the
former record The distance from
Cloud Cap Inn to the summit of the
peak is about four miles and the differ
ence in elevation between the two
points is more than 5000 feet.
The Mazamas exerted themselves
Monday on their official climb in order
to beat the bunch of Y. M. c. A.
climbers, who ascended from Govern
ment Camp. The main party of the
Mazama climbers reached the top al
most an hour before the Y. nj. c. A.
party hove in sight.
The record long time ascent was
made by Frank Branch Riley, John II.
Williams and young lady of the Ma
zamas. Mr.. Williams came up the
south side and descended TO Cloud Cap
Inn. On account of his ''excess bag
gage" he refused to slide down the
open snow fields. Mr.. Riley was de-
tached as escort When the loose
stones of the slope of Cooper's Spur
were reached MIR. Williams, ii is de-
clared, gave everyone of them on
which he placed his foot good test,
to see whether or not it teetered. The
three reached camp at eight o'clock.

L0ngings

How we miss you, Oh Mazamas
We folks who stayed at home
For we know what is your pleasure,
Aud we wish we were along.
We can see you in our minds eye
AS you go hiking on to camp,
And we know just how you sleep.
When you've made that ten mile
tramp.
We know the feeling uppermost
Within your heart tonight,
AS YOU gaze upon the grandeur
OF that most exquisite sight.
And as you note the roughness
OF that slender, icy trail,
The sickening thought goes through you
OF. what if should fail. y
But now as you gaze still longer
At the monarch of the sky,
Your heart is filled with courage,
And you'll conquer then or die.
We can Sc you making snowballs-
And hear the screams of delight
As some one gets his face washed
In the thckest of the fight.
And those fish the boys are catching,
From cool, refreshing streams,
Make US weary in the daytime,
Though we're happy in our dreams.
How we miss those songs and stories
Being told there every night,
/ AS you re gathered in circle
4 In the campfire's golden light.
How we envy you the comforts
Or that cool and restful glade,
j As you lie there mongst the fir trees
Where we know your camp Is made
Yes. we envy you that coolness;
For it's hotter here than hell.
The thermometer says hundred,
And it's hanging in the we'll.
There's thousand different reasons
Why we'd Ike to be with you,
But there's just one simple thing
That we'd like TO have you do.
Do not let it mar your pleasure
No, nor trouble you in your dreams
But please grant us just one moment,
When your thoughts are most su
preme.
When you've conquered that old mon
arch,
And your foot's upon her crown,
think of those you left behind you,
We poor mortals here in town.
