 Each contestant is backed by an array of friends and it remains to be seen which crowd is going to be the most active.
 The winner in this race will have something to be extremely proud of.
 Not only will the prize be valuable one, but the honor of gaining the day will be even more appreciated by the winner.
 A new series of tickets printed in green were introduced Thursday morn ing, good to be voted up to Nov. 12, when another count will be made.
 In order to show our appreciation of the work of the piano contestants who are soliciting subscriptions for The Tribune, we desire to announce that we have designated each contestant in the race duly authorized agent for the paper and ten per cent will be paid on all moneys collected on subscriptions from old or new subscribers either in advance or on back subscriptions.
 This offer applies to all contestants except the winner of the piano, who will not share in the benefit of this proposition.
 This offer is made in order that no one of the contestants will be loser at least so far as The Tribune is con- cerned, for the commission offered, covering the scope it does, will enable each solicitor to earn good pay for the time employed.

A MADISON COUNTY MURDER
Orb Parker the Vietim-Ed Rober-
 son Under Arrest.

A bold killing took place just over the line in Madison county, about twenty miles south of Green Forest, on last Friday night, the victim being Orb Parker, a young man quite well known in Carroll county on account of his criminal record
 The body of Parker was found Satur- day morning by Dave Mover who re- sides near the scene of the killing. The weapon used was shot gun load ed with No. 6 shot. The full charge took effect in the right eye, at close range, the body being powder burned. The top of Parker's head was literally blown off, and had his features been necessary for identification it would have been a hard matter to have de- termined his identity.
 The killing took place in the road about 40 yards from deserted house belonging to Robert Cogburn on the Berryville and Kingston road
 
 lowed game of cards in the old house referred to, where fire had been built and some playing cards were found upon the floor. The old house was known as a sort of rendezvous of this character.
 At coroner's inquest held by Justice Stroud Saturday morning, it was decid- ed that Parker came to his death from gun shot wound from the hands of some person unknown to the jury.
 Ed Roberson, resident of the community, was arrested Saturday morning accused of the crime, but the coroner's jury failed to hold him. Later, however, he was taken in hand by the sheriff and will be held pending further investigation.
 It is said that Roberson and Parker were known to be unfriendly to each other, but notwithstanding this fact, they frequently gambled with each other. There is also said to have been some strong proof found against Rob erson in the tracks made in the mud about the scene of the killing.
 Roberson is married man, having a wife and five or six children. Parker was about 23 years old and unmarried, being a son of Lewis Parker of that community. He had very unenviable record as a criminal. He had been convicted of several crimes, serving one term in national reform school.
 At the last term of the Carroll Cir cult Court Parker was tried on a charge of having robbed Tige Holt's residence in that neighborhood. The trial re- suited in hung jury.
 The community is greatly wrought up over the tragedy and early develop ments are looked for.

"The Peoples College"

During the past two years the growth and development of the public high schools of Arkansas have been unparalleled, is the statement of B. w. Torreyson, State High School h. spector.
 The high school statistics, prepared in the State Department of Public h. struction, show an increase in enroll ment of pupils in high schools of 74.5 per cent for the past two years, the enrolment for 1912-13 being Il, 704 The high schools have been thoroughly standardized and 81 new school added.
 Estate aid," said MT. Torreyson, "has caused most of the growth in our high schools. The state high schools are required to give free tuition to all pupils of th e county prepared to enter high school. This provision has greatly strengthened the rural schools and has fixed defnate standard for common school graduates. During the first two years of state aid, 3, 400 rural pupils have taken advantage of the free tuition. Free tuition is also given to teachers, of which 2,700 enrolled in state high schools during the school years of 1911-12 and 1912-13. During this same period agriculture was taught to 4,1O0 high school pupils. The third wear of state aid is inst bapinninr and the initial reports from the state high schools show that the increase for this year will greatly exceed that for the previous year.
