VERIFIES LAND PREDICTIONS.
Illinois Man Takes Trip to Northern
Wisconsin and Finds 1t as
Represented:


, (By Fred l.. Petty of Illinois in Milwaukee
Sentine)
What future has northern Wiscon-
sin in reality? What will be the con-
dition of those vast areas of cutoyer
land filled with stumps and overgrown
with brush ten or twenty years hence2
Such inquiries as these have come
with insistent regularity since Wis
consin began to call 10 the attention
of the general public the possibilities
of developing profitable agriculture
in her great wild land areas.
Remembering the axiom about judg-
ing the future by the past, visited a
section in which agricultural settle
ment began twenty or thirty years
ago, upon tie close of the lumber har-
vest, and where rich farm cOmmu-
nifty has been formed out of stump
covered, brush covered territory.
wanted to estimate by the progress in
such a community what reasonably
may be expected of other Wisconsin
communities now undeveloped.
PREDICTIONS ARE VERIFIED.
More than twenty years ago, Dean
Henry of the Wisconsin college, and
far sighted men like GOV. Hoard,
taxed the credulity of southern Wis
consin people by predicting that some
day great dairy section would de
yelope in central and northern Wis
cOnsiu which would rival and surpass
the prosperous southern counties. If
they wish to see the fulfillment of
their prophecies, they should go as |
did, to Marshfield, in Wood county,
in the central part of the state They
should talk to the business men, the
bankers, the wholesale shippers of
dairy products and the real estate dea-
lers They should take an automo-
bile ride over the territory tributary
to Marshfield and then northward, to
the great Lake Superior, look at the
crops, talk with the farmers, and see
for themselves that is is possible to
build prosperous farming country
on cutover hardw God land.
Glover grows rank and thick every
where. Along the roadside it thrives
to the exclusion of the weeds. Clear
away the trees and cut the brush on
a section of perfectly bare, wild land,
and at once clover creeps in and COW
ers the spot with rich, rank foliage.
White alsike and medium red are
common varieties, Four tons of til
notify and clover to the acre is no un-
usual crop

AN ARAB LEGEND.
Story Of the coVstous Man Who Went
Step Too Far.

Story Of the CoVstous Man Who Went
Step Too Far.
The Arabs tell a story to show how
a mean mans philosophy overshoots
itself. Under the reign OF the first ca
llph there WAS a merchant of Bagdad
equally rich and avaricious.
One day he bargained with a porter
to carry home fer him basket OF por-
celain vases for 10 paras. AS they
went along he said to the man: MY
friend, you are young. and am old.
You can still earn plenty. Strike a
para from your hire" Willingly" re-
piled the porter. This request was re-
peated again and again, until, when
they reached the house. the porter had
only single para to receive.
AS they went upstairs the merchant
said. IF you will resign the last para
VIII give you three pieces Of advice. Z"
BE 1t So" said the porter. "Well,
them" said the merchant. III any one
tells you 1t Is better to be fasting than
feasting do not believe him. II any
one tells you 1t is better to be poor
than rich do not believe him. II any
one tells you It is better to walk than
ride In your carriage do not believe
him."
'My dear SIR" replied the astonished
porter. Il knew these things before.
But II you will listen to me will give
you such advice as you never heard be-
fore" The merchant turned around,
and the porter, throwing the basket
down the staircase, said. "If any one
tells you that one OF your vases is I'M
broken do not believe him"

CONWAY, ARKANSAS I Tuesday, Oct. 19

bearing lightly the weight of her years, is still active and strong and shows little loss of the unusual ener- gy which has characterized her long life.
 Long before the town of Conway was thought of, before Arkansas could boast of a mile Of railroad or telegraph line, Mrs. Markham came to this state. Born near Memphis, Tenn, September 30, 1885, she was married, before she was IF, to Dr. R. T. Markham, at Fernando, Miss, April 12, 1852. The young couple left at once to carve their fortune in the wilds of Arkansas They first settled at Jacksonport, Jackson coun- ty, but after living there only about year moved to Lewisburg, near the present site of Morrilton, then the only settlement of importance be- tween Little Rock and Dardanelle. Lewisburg was a we'll known trad ing post, regular stop for steam boats and stage coaches plying be- tween Little Rock and Fort Smith. pr. and Mrs. Markham for more than 20 years kept the inn and stage stand at Lewisburg, but when the railroad

PERRY COUNTY SEAT
 FIGHT WAKES WARM
STRONG FEELING DISPLAYED IN PERRYNILLE-CASA-BIGE-
 LOW CONTROVERSY.

Perry, Oct. 4.-P. L. Burrow, John L. Hill, John s. Harris and G. B. Col vim of perry; J. H. Bowen and Judge J. M. Wallace of Perryville, have just returned from a weeks campaign from the western part of Perry coun- ty, where they have been speaking in the interest of Perry and Perryville in the county seat contest. Bigelow, the only other contestant for the county, had no representatives in the speak ing tour.
 John L. Phillips of Perry reports enthusiasm. The people are keyed up 10 high pitch. There is strong feeling on both sides. At only one place, however, has anything se- rious developed in the meetings. On last Tuesday evening at meeting held at South View, just west of Casa, two men stirred up considerable feel ing by continually interruptig the speakers, and finally had to be sup pressed by the people of the district.
 This week the campaign will be carried into the eastern part of the county. The election will be held October 7.

FAILURE TO FILE BOND
 DOESN'T YACATE OFFICE
IF BOND IS MADE AND APPROV- ED, CIRCUIT CLERKS CAN'T
 BE REMOVED.

Little Rock, Oct. 2.-When a circuit clerk has filed his bonds as clerk and recorder, and they have been approv- ed by the proper authority in his own county, the fact that the bonds have not been filed with the Secretary cf State does not constitute a vacancy. If, however, he has failed to file either bond at home, the office automatically leeones vacant.
 Iris is the rule of action adopted by Governor Hays in dealing with the circuit clerk tangle that came up this week in connection with the Mont gomely county controversy.
 Up to last night, attention had been called to only five counties in which this condition existed. In each of them the clerks bond of $15,000 had been filed and approved, but the re- corder's bond of $2,000 had not been made. In these counties the present clekrS were re-commissioned, as fol- lows: Montgomery, John M. Smith 1; Calhoun, W. L. Furlow; Dallas, D. E. Goodgame; Poinsett, A. H. Landcrs: Union, A. D. Murphy.
 The first of the week there were not nofe than fifteen of the bonds filed, but since the matter was made public there has been a rush to file bonds with the Secretary of State, and forty four had been filed when the office closed Friday evening.

was built in the early 70's Lewis burg was off the line and new town was established and called Morrilton. The rapid decline of steamboating and the passing of the stage line sounded the death knell of Lewisburg, and the Markhams moved to the newly established village of Conway, where they continued in the hotel business. pr. Markham died about 25 years ago, but it was only two or three years ago that Mrs. Markham retired and disposed of her hotel here.
 The many friends of this aged pio- neer woman will join the Log Cabin Democrat in extending congratula- tions to her and gest wishes for many more happy birthdays.

THEY ALL DEMAND II
CONWAY, LIKE EVERY CITY AND TOWN IN THE UNION,
 RECEIVES IT.

People with kidney ills want to be cured. When one suffers the tortures of an aching back, relief is eagerly sought for. There are many reme- dies today that relieve, but do not cure. Deans Kidney Pills have brought lasting results to thousands. Here is Conway evidence of their merit.
 J. H. Thayer, farmer, Conway, says: "I had great trouble from my back. 1t was hard for me to make a sudden move or do any heavy lifting l often had to sit down and rest, no matter how great the inconvenience. A friend told me to give Doan's Kid ney Pills trial and said they would cure me. l got supply from the White Drug Co.,, and begun using them. In a short time my back was strong and free from pain and I could do my work without the slightest in- convenience.

COTTON RfCOYfRS
 FROM BIG BREAK

From Fridays Daily
 After breaking 54 points shortly after the opening this morning, the New York cotton market regained practically all the loss and closed only about 10 points net lower. The break was caused by a rumor that the New Orleans market, which is still cut off from communication by the storm, had fallen 150 points. The rumor afterwards proved to be un- founded. Cotton on the local market is unchanged at 12 1-2 cents for av- craze receipts. Cottonseed is bring ing $28 per ton today.
