HAYS TO BE
POSTMASTER
Nomination of George R. Hays
For Newport Office Sent
to Senate.

George R. Hays has been NAM
ed for postmaster at Newport,
the nomination having been sent
Saturday to the Senate which
will undoubtedly confirm the ap-
pointment in regular order.
d Our present postmaster Mr.. J.
w. Grubbs rendered his resigna-
ton about ten days ago. His
term would have expired in Feb
ruary and his service has been
so eminently satisfactory to the
public and department that he
would have been allowed to COM
plete his term had he so desired,
but for business reasons, pre-
ferred to be free during the busy
winter season of these official
duties.
Mr.. Hays was a successful, dp-
plicant over quite a number OF
other citizens, all Of whom how
ever hold him in esteem and con-
gratulations are his from every
hand. He is in every way capa-
able and fitted for these duties
and will we feel sure, conduct
the office as successfully as the
retiring incumbent who will
probably give way about No
vember 1, if Mr.. Hays receives
his commission by that date.

Keep The Cows
On The Farm
Commissioner Page Shows Why
1t Should Be Profitable to
( Arkansas Farmer to
Keep His Cows.

Much is written and said
about the dairy cow, and to some
the term may be confusing.
The dairy cow we are interested
in most is the plain, unpreten-
tious old cow on the farm that
furnishes milk and butter for
the family. She is a great
friend to the women and chill
dren Of this country and her
worth must not be under-estl-
mated. have a special reason
for discussing the COW right
now. 1t Will soon be time tor
the tick quarantine to be raised
until next Spring and then cat
tie buyers will be going through
the country and buying up the
cows to ship out to the cattle
raisers in the north and west.
Remember that the old family
COW is not only the dependence
for milk and butter, but she Is
the mother of the calves, ana
without the cows we cannot have
cattle in the future as we have
in the past. g
There are not more than one
third as many COWS in circula-
ton in Arkansas now as there
were five years ago; all because
shrewd cattle men of the nortn
and west have been far-seelng
enough to learn that the cattle
supply was decreasing and the
price increasing. Hundreds OF
our farmers have sold OFT their
cattle including their cows De-
cause they were offered a gooo
price. Now when everybody
knows the high price of cattle on
the market many of our farmers
who would raise cattle are gong
to find the supply Of cows SO
small that they cannot get start
ed. So look out for the COWS ne-
fore it is too late. If the cattle
Eraisers of other states can come
into our midst, buy our cows
nav the top price for them pay
1.-The local buyer a profit, pay Tor
driving them to town, then the
freight on them for 500 miles,

not agree upon the length of
term to which they would SEN
tence the defendant and after
celebrating for Is hours upon
the case, returned into court at
1890 o'clock Sunday afternoon
with the following verdict:
eve the jury find the defend
ant guilty of murder in the Sc
cond degree, leaving it to the
court to fix the punishment, "
which was signed by J. w. Ran
kin as foreman.
The defendant was present in
court with his attorneys Jones
& Campbell when the verdict
was read and the state was also
represented by G. A. Hillhouse
and C. M. Erwin. Judge Jeffrey
questioned the jury as to it's di-
vision upon length of sentence,
which may be used as a guide by
the court in fixing the number
of years.
Upon first retiring, the jury
is said to have stood 8 for con-
viction of murder in the first de-
gree; 2 for murder in the Sc
cond degree and 2 for acquittal.
Judge Jeffrey then adjourned
court until October Is, when he
will probably announce his de-
cision in the Eyer case as we'll as
take up further matters in the
Overcup Slough Drainage dis
trict.
Upon that date, court will be
adjourned until December 9th,
when Hon. C. F. Greenlee Of

of court in the trial of cases up
on the civil docket that were
crowded out of the regular term
by the large number Of criminal

MANY ATTEND
TENT MEETINGS

The Meeker tent meetings continue
with Increasing attendance and I'M
abating interest. BY attracting the
young people of the north side by ster-
eopticon lectures lasting an hour and
leading up to the gospel service. Rev.
Meeker has a simple and effective
method OF filing the tabernacle. The
evangelist depends on personal adver-
Using to draw strangers. The Sparkling
orchestra of high school students plays
twice week at least, and special fea-
lures are introduced now and then to
give the crowds full measure. The
meetings will continue through the
coming week and perhaps longer.

THE MEEKER LECTURE

"Disowned" was the subject of Rev.
Meeker's address tonight in the Pres
byterian tent meetings now being held
at Hoffman and Cedar streets. on the
north side. The evangelist illustrated
the danger of profession without obed =
fence and gave striking instances from
every day life.
Rev. Meeker is of Chicago and his
parish is the entire city. During the
summer months he is one of the most
persistent evangelists as well as one
of the best known. AS he travels with
out a press agent and a company he is
not as well known as the brass band
revivalists, but is as well liked among
his hundreds of converts

WEEK SEES BIG
DEVELOPMENTS

Summing up the weeks real estate
activity and development, the letting
of the $4,000 contract for the KnoerZer
building at the corner of Holman and
Muenich court stands out most promi-
nently. OF almost equal Importance is
the announcement of the Jarneckes
that they intend to improve their 1903
feet of frontage across the street this
year Next in Importance is the pur-
chase of the old Baptist church prop
erty on Sibley street by the Knights
of Columbus for club and lodge room
purposes Their action will undoubt-
eddy give Sibley street a new tone.
Then there is the purchase of the
| old Chicago Lounge Company's prop
erty for $4,000 by the Inlander &
Slender CO. for warehouse purposes.
| AS for the transactions smaller
pieces of property the dealers report
| a nomal market. The Hammond Sub
| urban Realty Co, owning the now ia
| nous Kenwood addition. covered part
| of it's holdings with 500 carloads of
black dirt. and has nearly completed
the sidewalks on the Holman street
frontage.
| East Chicago is in regular building
| there for the month up to early this
| week. The property owners there feel

deep sewers in Hammond is holding
back quite a number of substantial

that indicates a seasonable turning of
stocks on a profitable basis.
Future sales by our representatives
on the road are the most encouraging
feature of our business at the present
time. Orders booked both cotton
and wool dress goods for fall total a
large. gain over those taken through
the same period last year
Demand for rugs and carpets con-
tinues strong and it is very difficult
to procure sufficient quantities of GER
tain brands and sizes. 1t is quite
probable that prices will not hold long
on the present basis with the con-
tinuance of the heavy selling antici-
pated during the next few weeks"
