BANKER OFFERS SUBSTITUTE
 FOR THE CURRENCY BILL
President Stands Pat for Original Measure Which He Believes
 Is What Is Needed.

Washington, Oct. 24.-President Wilson is uncompromisingly op- posed to the currency bill submitted by Frank A. Yanderlip, president of the National City Bank of New York. as a substitute for the ad- ministration plan.
 The President let it be known that he was earnestly and unquali- fledly in favor of the main features of the administration bill. He de- clared that he believed that the plan provided in the house bill was in every way suitable to existing con ditions of business and was calcu- lated to render the business men of the country a great service.
 The Vanderlip plan, which con- templates a central bank under gov ernment control was reported today to have the endorsement of three Democratic senators and five Re- publicans, a majority of the senate committee.
 The Presidents position is that the Vanderlip plan is radical de- parture from the regional reserve system of banks proposed in the house bill.

.Of Arkansas in the suit of the Mer- chants Building X Loan Company Vs. l.. l.. Coffman, state auditor, by which the building and loan concern hopes to have the blue sky law de- clared unconstitutional.
 The building and loan companies declare that there is no entry on the journal of the senate to show the passage of the act. and that it was never intended to include the build ing and loan companies in the pro- visions of the bill and that the act is unconstitutional because it gives unlimited power to the COmmis- sioner of insurance. The state, in answering, shows that the Kansas act, from which the Arkansas Blue Sky law was patterned, specifically excluded building and loan com panies. as we'll as National banks, while the Arkansas bill changed this so that all private concerns, as well as corporations other than Ma tiOnal banks, were included, unless they were not operated for profits. The State contends that the extent of the bill is plain when the clause in the Kansas bill eXempting the building and loan companies is omitted.
 The state further declares that Kansas counts have recently passed upon the section of the blue sky law in that state which gives un- limited power to the commissioner, and it has been declared cOnstitu- tional there. As for the contention of the passage of the bill in due form, Attorney General Streepey states that is of little consequence, and he believes the Supreme court in passing it's judgment upon the case will so declare.

 Our stone fruits are on Myrobo- Ian Mazzard Mahaleb Peach, and their own roots covering soils from the wettest to the very dryest. The home fruits are on quince, their own and others. Can send you apples on a branched variety of stocks for creeping in shallow soils, or the deepest going roots for. the heaviest clay soils. The latter kind will not do well where solid rock is close. One variety of stock is not adapted to all soils. If it was, why did the trees die in the low places? Or why did they die in the high places? You might as well expect to get suit fitted without giving size as to get your trees fitted with out answering the above questions. THE PINES PLANTATION. Jas. A. Sloe, Prop.

 In the basement there will be the boiler room for the steam plant, by which the entire building is to be heated; a laundry, recreation room, a dining room for the stu dents and one for the Sisters; the kitchen, store room and toilets The ceiling of the basement will be seven feet above the ground, so it will have full light and air.

It will be divided in the middle by a rolling partition. so that it can be made into two rooms and be used for classes, making a total of four large class rooms.
 The second floor will be for the exclusive use of the boarder stu dents and the Sisters. There will be dormitory room for about 125 children. As the school takes boys under fl years of age, there is one room for them. Necessary rooms are provided for the Sisters.
 Two office rooms are on landing four feet above the first floor.
 The building will be steam heated throughout, and will have modern plumbing and electric lights.
 st. Joseph's Academy was opened by the Sisters of Mercy on the first Monday in February, 1897, and was destroyed on the first Monday in February of this year. If the con tractor can finish his work in lit- tie over three months time, the school can occupy the new building on the seventeenth anniversary Of it's founding. At present the school is housed in cottages on Ninth street.
 From a small school with only thirty-flve pupils enrolled, the academy has grown to an enroll ment on nearly i50 pupils. Many families have moved to Mena for the express purpose of putting their children in the school Although the school is Catholic institution, it's enrolment has a large percent age of children from Protestant families who recognize the fine training given in the school. In the past, on account of the crowded condition of the building, only a few boarder students were enrolled. With the fine quarters supplied by the new building, there is little doubt that many out-of-town fami- lies will send their children here for training.

MASONIC SIGNAL SAVES
 FIVE AMERICANS LIVES
Nining Men About to Be Shot Are Spared When Sign Is Noticed
 hN Mexican Rebel.

Paris, Tex, Oct. 25.-A Masonic sign saved the lives of five Ameri- cans when they were about to be shot to death by Mexican constitu- tionalists in Lower California. J. H. Lankford, formerly of this city, has returned from California and relates the experience.
 He and four others left San Diego in an automobile to investigate mining properties i50 miles south of there. One day large body of Mexicans surrounded them. The Mexicans insisted they were spies, gave them a farce court martial and condemned the five to be shot. The location was far from civilization, and if the tragedy had taken place the world probably never would have heard of it. Deeds and docu- ments to prove they were only looking for mines were of no avail. The party gave themselves up as lost.
 At sunrise they were lined up and a firing squad took it's position in front of them. The squad had been ordered to present and make ready" when Lankford decided to try the Master Mason's sign of dis tress. He gave it and the Mexican leader immediately ordered the men to lower their arms. He returned the sign, then ordered the Ameri- cans to get into their auto and hur- " northward. He shook hands with all of them and assured them there was no further danger.

SENT TPAROLFDNAN
 ID WIFE AND BABY
l.. w. Higgins, Who Broke Parole and Was Arrested and Taken to kansas, Released on Plea of
 Police Chief of Ft. Smith.

Ft. Smith, Oct. 2i.-The glad news that her husband would return on the first train to the sick bed of herself and child was conveyed to Mrs. L. w. Higgins of 5i9 South Thirteenth street this morning by Chief of Police Theurer, and the sil- yer lining has come to the dark cloud that hung over that home all week.
 Higgins is the man who risked the forfeiture of his parole from the Kansas reformatOry by leaving that state in response to a telegram informing him of the critical illness of his child in this city. He notified the police of his presence in the city last Saturday and that he had brok- en his parole They notified the Kansas officials and the information came to arrest and hold him. This was done, and Monday Higgins left here in company with a deputy warden on the way back to the re- formatOry at Hutchinson, Kas.
 Thursday night Chief of Police Theurer was notified by one of the neighbOrs of Mrs. Higgins that the latter wanted 10 see him, and he went to her home. The sight he beheld was one that so touched his heart that he cut short his visit and hastened to the telegraph office, where he sent a lengthy message to the warden of the refOrmatory. eX- plaining the conditions in the Hig- gins home and making the request that Higgins be paroled to visit his family during their illness and stat ing that neighborS had volunteered to defray the expenses of the trip of Higgins to this city and back to Hutchinson, in inc event that his return was demanded.
 Woman Is HySterical.
 This morning he received aiele- gram stating~that Higgins was com ing on the first train. He is eXpect- ed to arrive tonight or tomorrow morning.
 The scene that Chief TheureI witnessed at the Higgins home was pathetic in the extreme Mrs. Hig gins and her baby were in bed and the little woman was hysterical NeighbOrs informed him that she had been that way ever since the departure of her husband, and that they were satisfied that the grief would cause her to lose her mind unless something was done at once They further stated that she had been calling for the chief for sev- eral days, but they had not called him. as they thought the little woman would soon recover from her depression; but instead of that she had been growing worse. Mrs Higgins was talking incoherently when the chief arrived, and as a matter of fact, her talk with the chief was disjointed and rambling, though through it all there was a continual calling for her husband and a wailing over the illness of her child.
 The conditions under which Hig- gins will be allowed to return tO his family are not known. but it is thought that from the explanation given the official of the Sunhower state that he will be allowed at least to remain until the restoration to health of his wife and baby.

REVIVAL CLOSED

The Revival at the Methodist Church which began Sunday May 25th. closed last Monday night and Key. w. M. Mcintosh, of luka, Miss. and his assistant, Prof. Lucius J. Anderson, of Greenville, exas, evangelist singer, left on No. 4 for the home of the former, Tuesday morning.
 Dr. Mcintosh was grea t sufferer with asthma from the day he arrived till the day of his departure, but in spite of his af- friction he held a great meeting and h e hallowed impression made by his work will abide. A class of twenty-seven were ad- mitted into the church by the pastor last Sunday moning and others whose names have been given for membership will be re- ceived in late.
 Dr. Mcintosh is a sane, logical and forceful preacher and by his christly demeanor, earnest and uncompromising way of present. ing the truth won the hearts of all who heard him without, bias or prejduice for any length of time, to the truths of Christ's gospel which he so beautifully il- lustrated in his life and conver- sation. Prof, Anderson, bis genial and sunny souled second, is an adept in the art of singing men into the spirit of the gospel. These servants of God left us with one universal regret, by their many frienCs and admirers, that they could not remain long, CT and wish that they might re- turn to us again in the future W h e n conditions were more favorable. The unusual happen ed in this meeting, namely, that in it's entire length of more than two weeks not a single foolish or regrettable thing was said or done so far as we were able to deter mine. The pastor and his faith full flock are ..under lasting obli- gations to those servants of God l for the service rendered and the good accomplished while with us.
