ARKANSAS LEVEE
 BOARD ACCUSED

Marion, Ark, Sept. 20.-O. N. Kill tough, president of the St Francis and Interstate Levee board. one of the wealthiest citizens of Crittenden county, has been indicted with 21 oth- CT members of the St Francis board. charged with malfeasance, and has been arrested on a charge of grand larceny of S1,000.
 killough also was arrested on a charge of embezzlement of $250.
 Eugene Williams, secretary-treas- arer of the St. Francis levee board, who was cashier of the bank of Forest City, Ark, which closed its doors re- gently, was arrested on charge of failure to turn over to the board s2l,000 of it's funds.
 All of the 22 members of the board, including KillOugh and Williams, were arrested and gave bond follow ing indictments returned by the grand jury Thursday. The action of the grand jury followed factional politi- cal fight and a mass meeting of citi- Zens held recently.
 It is reported that the entire board will resign on Oct. 1, when a second mass meeting of citizens will be held and definite action taken on a recent resolution to have officials of the board removed. Killough denied that officials of the board would resign under fire.
 The charges of malfeasance against the board members grew out of al legged violations of the statute which provides for only per diem charge. It is alleged the members msappro- priated funds in accepting money in addition to the per diem charges.
 Several of the indicted men were arrested over the telephone. Nearly all came to Marion and voluntarily surrendered. Gov. c. W. Hays ar rived last night from Little Rock to investigate the situation.
 President Killough is well known throughout the southwest. He recent ly has been negotiating with the heads of the Rock Island and Mis- souri Pacific roads regarding the pro posed fiotation of a S5,000. GOO bond is- sue of the St Francis levee board

,,urEIIcIOUS ADDRESS MAKES THE RIG AUDIENCE FORGET
 CIRCUS SURROUNDINGS.
nMtKING OF A MAN" SUBJECT
esvs He Has Been Unhappy Under Republican Rule and Believes Many of Them Are Just as
 Unhappy Now.

Charlottesville, Va, Sept. 20.-Sec- rotary Bryan gave the wolf a hard lick when the chautauqua tent show nacled 'em in under it's big top to a total of HOO.
 Bcyan's bit amounted to some thing like $500, perhaps a little less. This sum. added to what he received elsewhere for the week, makes a total of $1.5OO. Added to s230 a week he gets from the government, his income for the week will reach the respec- table figure of $1,750
 When his tour ends tonight he will have delivered 12 lectures with the Chautauqua troupe of trained singers, jugglers, magicians, musicians, imper. senators and monologists and he has averaged almost $400 to the show.
 If Bryan's tour is contrary to the traditions governing the post of pre- mer, it never did such violence to the established order of things as when he appeared in the town famous as the residence of Thomas Jefferson whose teachings, political if not per. sonal, Bryan follows:
 Under the shadow of the Universi. ty of Virginia, which Jefferson found. ed, and within a few miles of the grave of that statesman, the secre. tary took his place on the stage that had been held by band and singer and was occupied after him by moving pictures, magicians and jugglers.
 T feel at home in Virginia" said Bryan, in opening, because my father was born in this state and named his daughter Virginia in its honor. And

CONFEOERAT N.NbARRED
EXCLUDED FROM G. A. R. PARADE AFTER BEING ASKED TO JOIN.
Union Commander Gives Reason for Order, and Southerners Invite
 Northerners to Their Camp.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Sept. 19.-En- forcement of an order excluding wom- en and civilians from the annual pa rade of the Grand Army of the Re public prevented the N. B. Forrest camp of the United Confederate Vet erans from participating in the pageant. Clad in their gray uniforms, the southerners were preparing to form in the line of march with For sythe post, No. 15, of Toledo, O., when they were informed of the or der.
 An invitation to join in the parade had been rendered Col E. T. Dickin- son, commander of Forrest camp, by Col Henry N. Hanson, commander of the Forsythe post. When they were ready to take their places Col. Dick inson was informed that the com mander of the department of Ohio. Col. w. R. Warnock, had been in structed to bar everyone from the parade except Union veterans. The OChlSuNi' NNlSi otio dppCditd bio- tressed but as they marched quietly back to their headquarters they were greeted with cheers by Union vet erans.
 Tn a statement Col. Dickinson said:
 We regretted the incident very much, but l believe our comrades, and especially those in the Forsythe post, were even more distressed. We hold no i'll feeling toward the rank and file of the boys in blue. The boys in blue are with US, and for us, and we are with and for them. To show that there is 10 hard feeling against any of them, We have rendered them an invitation t0 visit our camp tonight. This invitation is to the rank and file of the boys in blue"
 Commander-in-Chie Alfred B. Beers of the C. A. R. said;
 'The Confederate camp was not ex- cluded because it's members were for mer Confederate soldiers, but because it is the policy of the Grand Army of the Republic to have only its mem bers in the parade, with the exception of Sons of Veterans, who were of ficially invited as escorts"

Making of a Man."

Because of this atmosphere I would be naturally inclined to speak on a subject that bears upon Jeffer- sens teachings-the science of gov ernmem-but because of many young men in the audience, I will make an other address and talk to you on the Making of Man
 The other subject, big as it is, is not so big as the one upon which choose to speak. It is the biggest sub- ject in the world man can be hap py under bad government and mis- erable under good government"
 Then the speaker goh one of his rare laughs-for whatever else he is Bryan does not strike one as being a humorist-by adding: q have been unhappy under Republican govern ment, and have no doubt that many Republicans are just as unhappy now"
 He launched into the subject, which had to do with the business of life. His address might be called semi-re- ligious. Soon his fervor grew and, with old-time skill, he made his audi ence forget the circus effect in the tenseness of the interest with which | they followed their exhorter, for such he became.
 As he took hold of his topic he aban- doned the usual term of friends or fellow citizens for the word Chris | tians," which he employed throughout the rest of his talk, which was really sermon.
 Bryan's subject was one that called out his best style and he held in close attention even little children.

prohibit cultivation by the middle of
July. After that the crop requires
no attention but that for irrigation
until picking time, which begins
from the middle to the last OF Sep
tember. 1t should be borne in mind
that the maximum amount OF fruit
will be set by the minimum amount
of water required to keep the plants
thrifty. The tendency of the average
farmer is to do too much irrigation
and too little cultivating.

test against the resignation of Mr..
c. K. Clarke, superintendent and chiet
engineer of the Palo Verde Mutual
Water company.
So far as this valley is concerned
Mr. Clarke is the man of the hour
The immeasurable service he has rem
dered the valley and the strong per-
sonality of the man has made him
the friend of every Palo Verdean who
knows him and when the word went
out two weeks ago that he had re-
signed due to certain action of the
board of directors the people rose
in mass to voice an indignant pro-
test.
AS a climax to that growing indig-
nation came a mass meeting last
Thursday attended by hundred re-
presentatives from every part of the
valley. Those who could steal away
from their work came and those who
could not do so voiced their desires
through a neighbor The action of
the meeting was the action of the
people of the valley to man.

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION
State Of Arizona, Executive De-
partment.

Since the citizens of Arizona last
gave thanks in unison to the Crea-
tor for a bountiful harvest and other
blessings mercifully bestowed, the
cycle of a year has neared compile
ton bringing to every State and Ma
tioa it's burden of disaster or right
ful gift of plenty; to every human
heart it's share of gladness or OF sor-
low, it's allotted portion of ecstasy or
pain. Withstanding every menace OF
a civil and external nature, Arizona,
with relatively ideal government
in which 10th men and women, with
equal enfranchisement and RESPONSE
bility cooperate for the general good
has passed tr!unl Eart each seperate
crisis, while preserving peace and its
attendant prosperity; and garnerine
from every source of plenty the
wealth that Nature had to give, has
used these natural treasures with jul
dicious liberality; has hOnored toll
with it's return, and has rewarded
thrift with the satisfaction of tempOr
al needs, industry with it's Increment
and the pursuit of happiness with the
object of it's quest.
1t is fitting, therefore, that Ariz
ona's citizens should feel grateful
to the ''Giver of all good and per
feet things" for the prosperity and
peace that have been accorded the
Commonwealth in which they live
and labor. Nor should the harvest
season be regarded only as period
when thanks are rendered for bless
ings previously conferred, but should
rather be, also, a time for entering
upon new resolve to so manifest
our gratitude for material advantag.

the principle of thrift so worthily ex
tolled as a human virture in the IA
miliar adage, Saving goes be-

Now, therefore, in recognition OF
the many benefits conferred by an
all-wise Providence, in conformity
with long established custom and pur
suant to a Proclamation of the Pres
ident of the United States, I, Geo
w. P. Hunt, Governor of Arizona dc
hereby designate Thursday, Novem

ing Day, and | most earnestly recco-
mend that, on the day thus set apart
all who acknowledge allegiance to oul
State shall do that which lies within
their power to ameliOrate the hard
conditions of those who are heavily
burdened, to invoke on the suffering
and the poor the wise beneficence OF
a kindly Deity; to extend charity
and helpful sympathy to those OF
our fellOWmen upon whom bitter cir

to commemorate at altar and at fire

forefathers that found sincere ex-

MAKING MODEL RANCHES.

The best looking fields of fall grain
to be found in the valley at this
time are at the recently improved
ranches OF e. A Green and McInty-
re & Talbert.
Six months ago this land was coy
cred with a heavy growth of virgin
mesquite Today it is as level as a
table with uniform borders, good
healthy bitches, bounded by the best
roads in the valley and covered
with a fine stand of young grain.
Mcintyre and Talbert, expert land
Jewelers., did the best job that could
be done ON theirs, and Mr.. Green's
land which adjoins, and they now
have one of the best improved plac-
es in the valley. And they not on
ly did a good job of leveling but
graded up the roads around the place
This adds hundred per cent to the
general appearance of the land.
This is the kind of improvement
that will make Palo Verde land
the most profitable and attractive
in the Colorado river country.
