S& Texas railroad, near Matson, Mo-,
sixty miles northwest OF st. Louis, last
/. night, captured a trackwalker who
surprised them as they weer robbing
the train and took him away with
them.
4 This was learnd from members OF
the train crew this morning. The
story of the robbery was told to A. l.
Mudd, conductor of the train, by John
Snadley, engineer.
The train, which left St. Louis al
1892 last night for Texas, stopped at
Matson, Mo-, on the north bank of the
Missouri river, at 1915. There the
bandits, of whom there were only two
are supposed to have boarded the
train.
lance the engineer heard a noise be
hind him and turning, saw man with
two revolvers leveled at him.
''He told me to stop the train," said
the engineer, and | did so. Then he
told, the fireman to run back and I'M
couple the train between the last eX
press car and the first passenger
car"
The fireman uncoupled the train an6

Friend of Governor Says He
Will Resume Law Practice
When Term Ends.
COUNTRY HELPS TOWN
Sentiment Among Rural Voters Is
Favorable to Bond Amendment, But
Selfish Politicians Are Afraid of
Publicity Bill.
(BY A. w. Parke.l

Little Rock, July 10-Writing polit-
ical in Arkansas, and attempting to
give an honest expression of ones
opinion, is about as interesting as
attiring one's-self in the costume of
a Fiji islander, and seating him upon
the opening of a red ant hill to keep
the ants at home. 1t is fine to say
something nice about one politician,
but Sherman and his expressedv opin-
ion on war has nothing on the wrath
of the four score and some politicians
who have not been mentioned equally
as favorably. The Little Rock CORES
pondent of The Graphic will continue
to give his Impressions, and tell the
political gossip as it comes to his at
tention, and if his goat is barbecued
by pie hunters, he will endeavor to
see that the flavor is about the same
as that of crow.
A close personal and political
friend OF Gov. G. w. Hays was author
ity, during this week, for the state
ment that Gov. Hays will retire from
politics at the expiration of the full
term to which he has been nominal
ed. This friend states that Governor
Hays will continue his residence in
Little Rock and engage in the prac-
tice of law. The names of Thos. c.
McRae, former congressman, of Pres
colt, and Judge Jeptha Evans of
Bonneville, are additional possibiii-
ties in the gubernatorial contest, who
have been mentioned recently.
New Election Officers.
The most interesting political
event of this month will be the selec-
ton of the county election commits
sioners, which will take place about
July Is. These commissioners are Sc
lected by the governor, attorney gen
eral and secretary of state. Two
Democrat and one Republican, COM
missioner will be selected for each
county, and these will in turn select
the election judges and clerks for
elections held in all counties. The
stale board of election commissioners
has intimated it will follow the re-
commentators made by county con-
ventions, permitting each county to
thus govern it's own affairs. There
are going to be changes in many coun-
ties, however, radical changes, if ru-
NOR can be entertained. In most of
these counties there is a keen con-
test, for the selection of commission
ers is a very important thing. 1t will
be one of the things attacked in the
new Brundidge election law, for it
has long been claimed that the power
to select election commissioners gives
state officials too great lever in
certain counties, and permits them to
perpetuate themselves in office, or to
railroad their friends into political po

though not fully completed at some Of
them.
One day at each place has been set
aside for the United States farm dem
onstration work, sand wherever pos
sible, the program CT the day will be
in charge of representative OF the
department. The boys and girls club
work will also occupy one day of most
of the institutes, and w. J. Jernigan,
in charge of this work in Arkansas,
will have charge OF at least part of
the day set aside for this purpose.
Attendance at the institutes will be

Pine BLUFF MUST
use The ARKANSAS
City in Danger of Losing
Great Volume of Trade
Unless This Is Done.
G. OF G. GETS FACTS
J. w. Crockett, Planter of South Bend
and Friend of the City, Tells of
Efforts Being Made to Divert
Trade from This City.

Unless Pine Bluff is successful in
securing better steamboat facilities
on the Arkansas river, great deal Of
the trade which should come to this
city will go elsewhere. This is the
statement made yesterday to the
trustees of the Chamber of Commerce
by J.. w. Crockett, wealthy planter
of South Band. Mr.. Crockett told the
trustees that the planters along the
river wanted to make Pine Bluff their
trade center, but unless a regular
packet is operated they cannot do it.
s. B. Russell, the newly elected presi-
dent of the Young Mems Progressive
Business league, and Mr.. Crockett
were guests of the trustees at the
semi-monthly luncheon at the Hotel
Jefferson yesterday.
Another matter of vital Importance
to Pine Bluff that was brought to the
attention Of the trustees is that the
Gwyer Grocery company Of Memphis
and Greenville is preparing to make a
strong bid for all the cotton and cot
ton seed raised on the down river
plantations.
AS result Of this action the
Chamber of Commerce will call a
meeting of the cotton factors, officials
OF local cotton oil mills and ice
plants at an early date to discuss the
matter of supporting the local packet
company, and an effort will be maze
to maintain regular traffic between
this city and the mouth of the river.
Pine Bluff Competitors.
Planters on the Arkansas and
White rivers are being solicited to
ship their cotton and cottonseed to
Rosedale next season and make that
place their market. The establishment
of a distribution house at that place
by the Memphis firm is the result of
trade being diverted from Greenville
and Memphis to Pine Bluff by the
operation of the steamer Lightwood
on the Arkansas river.
1t is said that unless the planters
can depend on a regular service they
will haul their products to sMall land
ings on the Mississippi, which are
nearer than railroad stations, and
market them in Rosedale, Greenville
and other mississippi towns. They
will also secure their supplies the
same way.
Secretary Bloom said yesterday that
every effort would be made by the
Chamber of Commerce to secure this
trade for Pine Bluff, but that it will
be hard task unless the planters are
given better shipping facilities and
are brought closer to local men and
firms.

The cost of a self-propelled barge

Jew Orleans, inventor of the project,
n a letter to the Chamber of Com
merce. The high cost of the barge is
lue to its extremely shallow draft,
says the inventor. 1t will draw
water of three feet in depth.
The barge will have a capacity Of

TRAVELLING MANS
DEATH SHROUDED
IN DEEP MYSTERY
]. C. CARTER DEAD In MACON
Blow Upon Stomach Is Cause
Of Death

Macon, Ga, Jan. S.-An element of
mystery enshrouds the death at the
Macon hospital at o'clock this
morning of ]. C. Carter, an adyertis-
ing representative of st. Paul, MINI
Carter. according to the statement Of
the attending physicians at the hospi-
tai, died of rupture of the stomach
brought about, the physicians say, by
a severe blow on the abdomen.
The mystery in the case involves
a midnight ride Tuesday in horse
and buggy in which I. the occupants
were Carter and an unknown man
According to DR.. DuGuid, Carter was
unable to account for the buggy ride,
nor could he give the name or even a
description of the man who took him
riding.
In the opinion of the physicians,
Carter either was pushed out of the
buggy or fell out, falling on his stom
ach The blow is thought to have
caused the rupture and his death.
Officials of the Dempsey hotel,
where Carter stopped, and several
travelling men who became acquaint-
ed with Carter during his stay in the
city, say that Carter appeared to be
drinking heavily for the last several
days. Carter did not deny this re-
port, when questioned by physicians
at the hospital
The arrival of Mrs. Carter, and
possibly other Minnesota relatives OF
the dead man is expected Friday. Car
ter was a handsomely groomed man

COMMISSION TO
RETAIN SERVICE
SAME PHYSICIAN
CHANGE MADE NOT AUTHORIZE
Prison Board Has Authority
In Premises

When the county commissioners held
their January meeting on Monday last
and elected heads of departments for
1914, they elected DR.. ]. r. Statham as
county physician, believing as they
evidently did, that all heads of de-
partments were chosen for year only.
1t has since transpired, as the COM
missioners were advise dyesterday by
Hon. Goodloe Yancey, secretary of
the state prison commission, that It
was not the policy of that body 70
have counties working state convicts
make changes of physicians except
for cause, or in the event of resigna-
ton of such official. This being true
the recent action of the Sumter board
is nullified, and the Drs. Cato will, as
heretofore, look after the medical de-
partment of the county during the cur
rent year.
