WILL HAVE TWO TEAMS
Mena Will Be on Football Map This SeasOn-WilI Play Po-
 teau Next Saturday.

The football season will open in Mena next Saturday, when the High School team of this city will play the team of the Poteau High school. The local Knights of the Pigskin are working hard and with enthu- .siasm, and confidently expect to win their first game.
 Principal Galloway Harrison, of the High school, states that there are twice as many candidates for the teams as there were last year, and that the material for organiz- ing a first and second squad that will be winners is flattering.
 The lineup of the teams is not quite complete, but every eligible is being given a thorough try-out. The suits for the second squad have been ordered and are expect ed to arrive Monday.
 Captain Milton Warner, of the first team, is in Texas, but will be home next week. Will Nelson has been acting in his place. He was the quarterback last season.
 Arrangements have been com pleted by MT. Harrison for the Poteau game Saturday, October 1T. Other games will probably be played with Lockesburg, Ft. Smith, Van Buren and Texarkana.

THREE MILES ROAD COMPLETE.
That Much of Distance Between
 Mena and Rocky Graded.

I. Saurbaugh, road overseer in District If, and a genuine worker for good roads, was in Mena Friday. He states that the three miles of the Rocky to Mena road in his dis trict is now graded with the excep- ton of about one days work, and this would have been done but for the rains and break to the big engine.
 The rains have made this new road very bad, but Mir. Saurbaugh will redress the road in few days with his horse grader and then, if he can secure the cooperation of those living adjoining and keep 1t dragged, it soon will be in fine shape. He says the road is well crowned and is from eighteen to twenty feet wide.
 That part of this important road in District If has not been entirely cleared of stumps as yet, and 1t IS said it cannot be graded until this is done. As a result it is said the big grading machinery will be brought in and put at other work until such time as the road is made ready.

STATE TAX INCREASED
General Revenue Fund Raised 54 of Mill-CapitOl Fund Decreased
 s of Mill.

According to the state tax levy received Friday by County Clerk Parker from the state auditor, the tax rate is increased.
 For the general revenue fund a tax of two and one-fourth mills is levied: last year this fund called for one and three-fourths mills. Common school fund is three mills, Confederate pensions one and one-half mills and state capitol fund one-eighth mill-a reduction from one-half mill of last year. The state levy for this year totals six and seven-eighth mills, against six and three-fourth mills for last year.
 On account of the County Board of Equalization using the assess ment books, MT. Parker has been unable to make out the tax rolls, and the work will be delayed on this account. Last year the county clerk was not interrupted and the rolls were ready for the collector by the first of September. The work of making out the tax records is very heavy and will necessitate night work on the part of the of fee force,

A DOUBLE TRAGEDY
Two Men, Stover and Burnett Killed Each Other at
 Athens Friday.

J. l.. Smith of Hartley vas in Mena Tuesday and tells of kill ing which occurred at Athens, Howard county, last Friday.
 According to the story told by MT. Smith, about sixteen years ago a man by the name of Stover married Miss Pearl Whisenhunt, and a girl baby was born to the couph. After few years Stover and his wife separated, he going to Texas. The woman since that time has been living with a MT. Burnett. The girl is now sixteen years old, and for some time has been in correspond ence with her father, Nh0 recently wrote that he was coming after her. On Friday Slower and his brother arrived at Burnett's place near Athens, and found the young lady alone at the house. She did not want to leave without telling Burnett and her mother, NhO were in the cotton field nearby. As soon as she had informed Burnett that her father had come for her, he left the field and came to the house, entered the rear door and picked up a single-barrel shotgun. AS he came out on the front porch he fired point blank at Slower, striking him over the heart. AS Slower fell forward he fired a shotgun that was in his hands, the shot taking effect in Burnett's breast, both men dying instantly. It was evident that Stover was expecting trouble, as he brought his gun with him to the house; but Burnett, entering the house by the back way, and shoot ing without warning, apparently did not intend to give the girl into the custody of the father. Whether or not the young lady was willing to return to Texas with her parent is not known, as she has not made a statement.

WILSON TALKS
 TRUST LAWS
Plans Action Against Big Inter- esis" at December ScsiOn-There Will Be No Particular
 Program.

Washington, Oct, GA start was made by President Wilson today on his antitrust program for the De- cember session of congress. He had a long preliminary conference with Senator Newlands of Nevada, chair man of the interstate commerce committee, which handles trust leg islation in the senate.
 The President expects to confer, also, in the near future, with Rep resentative Clayton, chairman of the House judiciary committee, as well as with other members of the two congressional committees which will be directly in charge of the leg islation. Senator NeWlands said after the conference that he ex- pected the President to transmit some recommendation to his com mittce early in the December ses- sion.
 Today's discussion with Chair man Newlands was of a general character, bringing forth no par ticular scheme of legislation. The President and senator examined the history and arguments presented for and against various pending bills which would supplement the sherman antitrust act.
 Senator Newlands himself has a bill pending that would create an interstate trade commission with powers of publicity, investigation and correction, the power of pre- liminary investigation regarding violations of the sherman act, the power to aid the courts in the en- forcement of their decrees, the dis solution of trusts and the reas- sembling in legal form of their con stituent clements.

LETTER TO THE FARMER BOYS OF POLK COUNTY.

Never has there been such pro- gress in this county as there is today, the farms being literally made over and new houses being built. It looks as though the farmers are getting ready for a great era of prosperity.
 All we need now is to keep up the good work you have done for the last three years, not stopping until practically all of the farm CTS are working by improved methods, as shown by the gov ernment to be a success. This year has, in my estimation, fully demonstrated the efficiency of the instruction afforded. While in other sections the people made but little in the way of crops, here in this county, with odds badly against the people from the fact of drouths, the people have made plenty to live on, and no one need suffer who has worked according to instructions given, and the boys will turn out large yields on the small acre tracts, as usual.
 We have the distinction of being the only county in the state that has five acre tracts in competition for prizes offered, and I feel sure tbe showing made on the five acre tracts will be a credit to the county and to the parties competing.
 Next week will see the instruc- ton school at Mena. and you will have fine instructors, and I will be glad if every boy can be here those two days. I know the people in Mena will be glad to see you all, and to meet the boys that are bringing old Polk county to the front.
 With great interest taken in the farming and the Good Roads movements, there is no reason why this county will not be the banner county of the entire state within the next five years. With it's fine farming land. the beauti- full scenery and healthy country, and the enterprise of the people, there is no reason why we shall mot make great progress in a short time.
 The good work has commenced and is progressing splendidly. Let it go on and show the outside world what can be done in Polk county by proper effort.

 Mir. Scott states that there has been somewhat of a Hull in Good Roads enthusiasm at Cove for some time, but that recently spirit of progress developed with a result that road work is going to be taken up in earnest.
 It has been decided that on Good Roads days everything possible will be done to improve the main road to the Oklahoma state line. There is a healthy rivalry between Cove and Hatfield for the valuable trade from the West and both towns are striving to win it, and are going to use the legitimate and effective weapon-Good Roads.

Two-Cent Fare After Thursday.

Life will be worth living after Thursday remarked Kansas City Southern train auditor to a Star representative Tuesday. T do not blame the travelling public for at tempting to evade the three-cent interstate rate, but it certainly makes work for us. But on the tenth of this month they can buy tickets for points in Arkansas, Ok lahoma and Missouri at two cents per mile. When a person now goes from Mena to Ft. Smith have to collect fares from them and write it up three times if they do not buy ticket straight through-and mighty few of them do." And the auditor heaved a sigh of relief.

CHICAGO MAN C0NFESSES
 HE MURDERED TWENTY
Police Begin Grewsome Inyestiga- tion-POSsess Evidence to Prove
 He Murdered Mrs RexrOat.

Chicago, H., Oct. 6.-The police today began grewsome investiga- ton of the confession yesterday by Henry Spencer that he had slain twenty persons.
 Possessing evidence in support of his claim that he killed Mrs. Mill dred Allison Rexroat on September 25, the authorities said this morn ing that they are confident of con- firming his guilt in many crimes.
 While the police were satisfied Spencer was guilty of many mur- ders, they were forced to conclude his statement of numbering twenty persons was exaggeration.
 Spencer is addicted to the opium habit, one symptom of which is his grotesque imagination.
