FARMERS ENGAGE
 IN FATAL AFFRAY Dick Curtis Was Shot and Killed By Henry Coburn
 Sunday Afternoon.
QUARREL OVER GIRLS
Will Curtis, Divorced Husband, and Father of Child, Probably
 Fatally Wounded.

Benton, May 12.--A tragedy occur red in Jefferson Township, 25 miles northwest of this city, late Sunday afternoon, resulting in the death of Dick Curtis and the probable fatal wounding of his brother, Will Curtis, by Henry Coburn. All are prominent Coburn and Dick Curtis being about p years old and Will Curtis about 27.
 The trouble arose over the three year-old daughter of Mrs. Coburn and Will Curtis, who were divorced about two and half years ago. The cus- tody of the child was awarded to Mrs. Curtis, who soon afterward married Henry Coburn.
 Curtis had called several times dur ing the absence of Coburn and against his wishes, to see the child and three weeks ago took the child away with him, and kept her until last Saturday. when he permitted her to return to her mother, sending word that she must come back Sunday.
 Sunday afternoon Will Curtis, ac- companied by his brother Dick and Elmon Garrett, called at the Coburn home to get the child. Mrs. Coburn answered the call and told them that she would not permit the child to go with them. The little one began cry ing when her father opened the gate and started toward her. Hearing this, Coburn, who was in the house. seized his Winchester, and going to the door, opened fire. Six or seven shot were fired killing Dick Curtis and severely wounding Will Curtis.
 Coburn came to town and surren- dreed to the sheriff, claiming self de- fense, as he said that Will Curtis was reaching toward his hip pocket when he fired upon him. He said that he did not intend to kill Dick Curtis, who was his friend.

Facts Worth Knowing

There are three entirely different kinds of ingredients used in mokins the three different varieties of bak- ing powders on the market, viz:-Ol Mineral-Acid or Alum, t2) one-Acid or Phospate, and t3) Cream of Tartar, derived from grapes. It is important from the standpoint of health to know something about these ingredients and which is used in your baking powder
 CD Mineral-Acid, or Alum, is made from kind of clay. This clay is mixed with diluted oil of vitrol and from this solution a product is ob- tained which is alum. Alum is cheap, costs about two cents pound and baking powder made with this Min eral-Acid sells from 10 and p cents a pound.
 CD 'Bone-Acid, or Phospate, is the basis of phosphate baking powders and the process is fully described in the patents issued to alarge manufac- turer of phospate powder The U. s. Patent Office Reports give a full and exact description, but the follow ing extract is enough:
 Burned bones, after being ground are put into freshly diluted oil of vitorl and with continual stirring and in the following proportion" etc.
 From this Bone-Acid Phospate bak- ing powders are made such powders sell from 20 to 30 cents a pound.
 (3) Cream of Tartar exists in all ripe grapes, and flows with the juice when the grapes are pressed. The tartar is subsequently gathered from the cask, boiled with water, and re- fined, when crystal of Cream of Tar tar, white and very pure, separate and are produced. In differs in no respect from the form in which it originally existed in the grape Cream of Tartar, then, while the most eX- pensive, is the only ingredient that should be used in a baking powder to act upon the soda, as it's whole someness is beyond question. Cream Of Tartar baking powders sell at ab- out 40 to 50 cents a pound.
 Such are the facts and every one. careful of the health of the family, should remember this rule:-lBaking powders selling from 10 to 9 cents pound are made of IMineral-Acids: those selling from 20 to 30 cents of Bone-Acid; and those from 40 to 50 cents of Cream of Tartar derived from grapes.

EAST SECOND RESIDENTS
 TO GET NEEDED WORK
MAYOR BLOOM WILL BUILD SIDE. WALKS AND PAVE STREET ON
 THE AVENUE CTLVERT.
Local Firms and Individuals Donate Money and Material to
 the City.

Mayor Simon Bloom is determined to give the people of East Second avenue relief in the matter of making the needed repairs and improving con- ditions on the East Second avenue cul- vert, which was never paved by the city nor were sidewalks at each side of it laid when the sidewalks along that street were constructed. The peo- pie of East Second avenue have been appealing to the council for some months 10 build walks along the cul- street possible at that point. In wet weather the edges of the culvert are dangerous to pedestrians and some of them have almost fallen into the ra- vine there because of the slippery condition of the culvert, where the sidewalks ought to be.
 Notwithstanding the fact that the city is without funds with which to make the needed improvements they ging expedition which Mayor Bloom recently made over the city. He SC. cured free of charge from C. k. Phil- pot enough sand to make the fill The Westbrook Grain and Commission company donated the cement and the automobile companies donated $10 in
 
 of the work. The Pine Bluff Con- pany donated enough brick to pave the street and the work of building the sidewalks and paving the street over the culvert will begin in a few days.

 cluded Monday.
EVANS FINE RECORD

 By His School.

With total of 8 points, the track team of the Lakeside grammar school won the championship in the city school field and track meet, the re- maining events of which were held at the High School grounds yesterday afternoon. As a result of their vic- tory, the laddies proudly carried off a handsome loving cup as their prize
 The nearest competitor was the Sixth Avenue team, which scored a total of g points, the Sub Freshies' 3 secured D points, and the First Ward aggregation secured 1 6points. Of the latter, however Otto Evans a plucky little youngster, secured E 1-2 points, winning second place in the individual championship race.

 None of the High School events, which were continued from the meet Friday afternoon, were held on ac- count of the fact that the grammar school program occupied almost the whole afternoon.

It Is thought, however, that Jeff Allen, will capture the honors, as he is now far in the lead.
 The interschool events this year were exceedingly successful, despite the fact that this is the first time such a movement has been inaugur- ated and it is now an annual affair. The merchants responded nobly in of fering prizes and Prof. J. R.

 The following three events in the grammar school class were held yes- terday afternoon at the High School grounds.
 Broad Jump-Harry Green, sub- first; Allen Hearin, Sixth Avenue, second; Reuel Graves, Lake side, third.

The question presents itself whether the people
who desire legislation will have their business ready

noticed that most Of those who howl for legislative
speed aud criticize Senators and Representatives
for their slowness in disposing Of public business
are among the worst offenders when it to fall
ure to get their own bills in early.
Following the organization of the two houses and
the appointment the standing committees, the legis
ators will have ample time introduce bills and have
them read first second times and referred TO
mittees In short they will be for work to do
Those who have meritorious bills prepared in
temptation should get them in early. Such bills can
not suffer scrutiny and mature consideration The
Legislature devote the early stages Of its session
to getting those bills out OF the way and leave the
later stages for dealing ntegently with emergency

ness that exist bills that have been introduced and
