POSTAL CUPID DUN.
Chicago Woman Travels Far to Find Philadelphia Man Not Her
 Tdea1

Philadelphia, Sept. S0.-A romance of matrimonial bureau manufacture "blew up" last week in the town or Gurdon, 15 miles south of here, when after a 60O-mile trip, Miss Clara B. Ward, 45 years old, of Chicago, decid- ed William Reaves of Womble, a planter and Confederate veteran, was not the man she was looking for.
 With a red and blue ribbon in a buttonhole of his coat, as agreed in his last epistle, MT. Reaves, it Is sald' early awaited the arrival of the train scheduled to bring Miss Ward to Cur don. The train came, so did Miss Ward, but in the crush on the sta ton platform she failed to find her red and blue ribbon -bedecked proc pect.
 However, S. NJ. Gates, hotel pro- prietor, saw Miss Ward, and knowing of the postal romance, soon found MT. Reaves. He was introduced Miss Ward looked hi mover and then said he was not her ideal. She de- cided to return to Chicago
 Mir. Reaves provided the ticket like the gallant Southern soldier that he is, then set out form Womble alone to again keep vigil. at a Lonesome hearthStOne.

Completing Capitol.

Before the next legislature gathers the state capitol will be completed, so far as the present appropriation pro- vides for," states former, Governor George W. Donaghey, who is now a member of the state capitol commits sion.
 That the state capitol is finally con- pleted is music in the ears of the tax payers of the state, but that part of Gov. Donaghey's statement which says "so far as the present appropria- tion provides for" will probably mean several more years of the state capitol tax.
 The building is virtually completed now and any further appropriation will be for decorating the inyerTor. This, however, is unnecessary, and if it is done, will be in an effort to make the capitol look as rich in mural dec orations as are the capitols of other states.
 The main appropriation for the f,l- ture, however will be for additional ground, making large park of Capi- tol Hill, and as every citizen of Ar kansas has spoken of this need the continuation of the tax for such a purpose will be unopposed.

Arkansas River Work.

Even though the United States sen- ate cut the rivers and harbors bill until it had no resemblance of it's former self, it is possible that no change will befmade in the appropria- tion which had been agreed on for the streams of Arkansas.
 Speaking about the subject, United States Senator James P. Clarke states that the appropriation for the dredge boats on the Arkansas river, which re- gently began cutting away the sand bars, will remain. He also expects to be able to persuade the secretary of war to permit the appropriation for locks and dams on the Ouachita river to remain. The towns along the Ouachita have waited patiently for many years for this additional appro- priation, for the present locks and dams are usless without the System completed. Senator Clarke will ltake the matter up as soon as he returns to Washington.

Boil Weevil and Rains Com bine to Prevent Production
 of More than 2,000 Bales.
LAUNDRY PRICES CUT
Little Rock People Getting Benefit of "Scrap" Among Laundry men of the Capital
 City.

Little Rock, Sept. 30.-Heavy rains just about the time the cotton was be- ginning to open, and boil weevil, will reduce the yield at the Arkansas state farm from the estimate of 2,500 bales, to not over 1000. Picking is going on rapidly, but not a bale has been sold. How long the state will be able to hold is problematical, though it is believed that deals may be arranged with the mercantile establishments which have supplied the state with foodstuffs to take cotton on account and hold it with the state being the gainer should the price go up. If the price should go to what it is in a normal year, the farm will show a good profit for the state this year, and bring up the question of allowing the families of the convicts the profits of their labors, in the next sessions of the legislature.

Voters Fool Selves.

From various parts of the state the cry for special session of the legis- lature to grant some relief to the cot ton growers, goes up to the high heav- ems. This appeal is made without reasoning on the part of those making it. They forget that the legislature meets in regular session the second week in January. They ask for the special session to make it illegal to plant more than a certain acreage in cotton, yet do not appreciate the fact that no cotton will be planted until after the close of the regular legisla- tive session.
 Had amendment No. 15, placing the legislators on salary, been adopted the legislature could have been called into special session at a very small cost to the state. One special session or an extended session, under existing conditions, will cost more than the additional expense of putting the leg islators on salary.

The other laundries immediately met the reduc- tion in price, and the independent laundry made a still further reduc- tion so that Little Rock consumers are now getting towels laundried for IA cent each, table cloths and sheets for 1 cent, and general reduction all along the line.
 It has been only few months since an effort was made, through suit by the attorney-general, to prosecute the Little Rock laundrymen, it being all
