HAYS Will TAKE
OATH WEDNESDAY
KIRBY WILL 0FFICIATE
CAMPAIGN TO BE WITHOUT OS-
TENTATION-LAR CROWD
EXPECTED.

Little Rock, Aug. 5.-At 2 o'clock
Wednesday afternoon Judge Geo. w.
Hays, after resigning his Office as
judge of the Thirteenth judicial cir
cult of Arkansas, will walk from the
Office of Acting Governor j. NJ. Flu
trell into the reception hall of the
state capitol and there take the oath
as governor of Arkansas. 1t is prob
able that Associate Justice w. F. Kir
by will administer the oath, as he is
a close personal friend of the new
governor, and was one of his warm
est supporters in the recent campaign.
The campaign will be without os-
tentation on the part of the new gov
ernor. He will make no speech, al
though it is expected there will be a
large crowd present, and as these will
be enthusiastic friends of the new ex-
ecutive, it is probable they will make
enough noise for a whole group of
governors.
A special train over the Iron Noun
tain will bring from Ell Dorado and
Camden hundreds of friends Of the in
coming governor. 1t had been ar
ranged to operate this train a week
ago, but the failure of number Of
counties to make official reports on the
returns of the election, caused the de-
lay. White county filed its returns
with the State Board of Election Com
missioners Monday afternoon, and
with this county in all doubt concern
ing the inauguration Wednesday was
removed. There were still two cOun-
ties Mississippi and Montgomery
but telephone assurance was given
they would be in the hands of the
state commissioners not later than
Tuesday afternoon. When the are
received the state board will meet and
canvass the returns. This is but
matter of form and will last but
few minues, after which the new gov
ernor can take Office at any time.

CONFEDERATE'S WIDOWS
MAY RECEIVE PENSIONS

Little Rock, Aug. 5.-Any widow OF
a Confederate soldier, who is in indi-
gent circumstances, who has lived for
a year in Arkansas, and who was the
wife of Confederate veteran in 1878,
is entitled to receive a pension OF
500. This is the decision OF the Ar
kansas Pension Board which is now
in session. There has been some lit
tie difference of opinion as to the
amount the widow is entitled to, or
whether or not she may receive this
amount if she married after the vet
eran died. The board holds that the
widow Of the veteran may receive
pension, as his widow, even though
she married a half-dozen times after
his demise, just so she is widow and
in INDECENT circumstances.
The board is composed OF Thomas
Green, Sr., the head of the Confeder-
ate Veterans of Arkansas; State Au-
ditor L. L. Coffman and Secretary OF
State Earle W. Hodges. The meeting

AGRICULTURE COLLEGE
ATTENDANCE INCREASES
SECOND DAY OF SESSION is
MARKED BY MANY IMPROVE
MENTS IN ATTENDANCE.

The second day of the farmers ag-
ricultural college being held in the
State Normal building, conducted by
experts from the college of agricul-
ture of the University of Arkansas,
was marked with many improve
ments, the attendance being almost
double that of the opening day.
Among the number entered today
were many girls and women, who are
here to learn more about canning
fruits, etc.
County Agent John w. Parlier is
more than delighted with the results
thus far achieved, and believes the at
tendance will exceed that of Morrill,
tons school held last year, when the
attendance reached nearly 600. Those
in charge of the school state that the
attention given the speakers and lee

is the best they have seen. Tomor-

ly dry, put into hay cocks. 1t is a mat
ter of economy to have two or three
hundred hay caps (made of six-cent
cloth one yard square) to use in case
of bad weather. You may think this
is considerable bother. but poor al
falfa Is poor stun, and when we re-
member that good alfalfa brings us in
actual results nearly as great returns
as wheat bran, we can better realize
the Importance OF taking care of It.
If any of US had 800 hay cocks of
bran" in the field. we would take care
of them. but with alfalfa we think of
it as Just hay"
These cloths may have wooden pegs
or some sort Of weights attached to
each corner to hold them in place; the
pegs can be pushed into the hay to
hold the corners fast. Hay caps will
soon pay for themselves in finer
quality Of hay guaranteed by their
use.

This experiment was conducted at
the Kansas Agricultural college:
The pigs shown in the accompanying
chart were litter mates. The larger
pig was fed on a ration Of corn and
alfalfa hay; the smaller on corn alone.
Several filters of weanling pigs were
equally divided into two lots. The
pigs were carefully chosen as to
weight and thriftiness, SO that each lot
represented fair average of the total
number of pigs used in the expert
mept.
The experiment was carried on for
a period Of eight months. At the end
of this time the pigs fed on corn and
alfalfa hay were in excellent condi-

PONDEROUs PERsONAGEs.

CHRISTOPHER Columbus was porn
somewhere between 1430 and 145O,
near Genoa. Several towns claim the
honor of being his birthplace and are
good deal more earnest about it than
they were when Christopher was a
bare-footed boy, with a ragged jacket
and poor wool comber for father.
Columbus was given a careful edu:
cation, mostly in mathematics and
navigation, which, in the opinion OF
the neighbors, added his mind, for he
soon conceived the idea that the world
was round. For many years he was
regarded as the king of cranks as he
rambled from court to court trying to
convince credulous kings to lend him
fleet in which he might arrive in the
Far East by sailing west. If it had
not been for the sympathy and simple
mindedness of a woman, he would not
have succeeded. Queen Isabella OF
Spain was so touched by his sadness
and detection that she prevailed on
her husband to lend him three small
vessels. This proves that woman
should never be intrusted with affairs
of state. She is too credulous.
Columbus sailed from Palos, August
8, 1892, with 80 men, each OF whom
had carefully made his will, and after
leaving the Canary Islands steered
southwest into an unlimited supply Of
ocean which had never been navigated
before. For centuries navigators had
not ventured beyond the Canaries, but
Columbus sailed on for three weeks,
and even after his men had threatened
him with death he continued to steer
westward towards what the whole
world believed to be the jumping-off
place. We laud the intrepid explorers
who have risked their lives to reach
the north pole, far from steam heat
er. but these men knew Columbus was
the only man in his feet who didn't
wake with start each night, believing
the vessel was sliding off the edge OF
the world and beginning an eternal
tumble among the other planets. Co
lumbus was great hero, but the other
SO were even greater. They didn't
even have a cranky notion to sustain
them.
Columbus discovered America Octo-
Der IL, 1892. That is, he began its dis
covery. Something new about the
country is still being discovered daily.
He was given tremendous honors for
his dignity from saying 81 told you
so" to mankind when he returned. But
he Immediately plunged into American
politics and became its first victim.
After trying to run the new country
for a few years, he went home IN
chains and died in poverty later on,
without even postmastership to COM
fort him.
Columbus is now one of history's
greatest men, but if he had spent his
early life arguing with wise men he
would have died unknown and Amerl-
ca might still be loafing around in an
undiscovered and highly moral state.
The foolish faith of woman, entirely
unadulterated with logic and common
sense, has made more great men than
any other one thing.-George Fitch.
