McRae, one of the candidates for
the democratic gubernatorial nomi-
nation, stated to several friends
while in Little Rock Wednesday
that he will shortly address a COM
munication to DR.. G.. H. Brough, ell
so one of the leading gubernatorial
candidates, to meet him in joint de-
bate at six different points in the
state If Dr. Brough accepts the
invitation the discussions will take
place the latter part of November

did not say whether he would in
yite any of the other candidates or
not Every indication points TO a
general opening of the gubernator-
iaI campaign early in November,
when Messrs. McRae, Brough,
Hodges and Crockett Will begin cam
paigning in earnest. Gov. Hays is
still silent as to his intentions, but
it is still believed that he will seek
another nomination.

The association has been organized
only three years and this was its
third annual meeting. Much inter
est is being shown by all the nurses
in the state and many instructive
talks and lectures were given dur
ing the meeting. Many interest
ing things were said in regard to
the betterment of babies, tubercu-
losis, typhoid, nursing ethics; how
to deal with the public and how to
wake the public up to the necessity
of more and better trained nurses;
the public health nurse and the ne
cessity; the public school nurse of
which in future time school work
and the nursing profession will go

CONTRACTORS SUE
MISSISSIPPI COUNTY

Little Rock, Oct. 30.-Coincident
with the refusal of the United States
supreme court to entertain an APP
peal from the United States circuit
court of appeals in what is known
as the Monroe county scrip case, F.
w. Kraft of Chicago, an attorney
representing Mississippi county scrip
holders, has taken a default judg-
ment in the federal court here for
$54,S60 against Mississippi county.
The judgment was for the amount
of Mississippi county warrants held
by Mr.. Kraft, and which could not
be redeemed by the treasurer of Mis-
sissippi county when presented.
The case again exposes what is
said to be the inadequate financial
system of the state. The $54,86O is
due contractors on a new courthouse
in Mississippi county, and under the
Monroe county decision of the Unit
ed States circuit court of appeals a
mandamus may be issued to compel
Mississippi county assessing and
equalizing officers to place the
value of property in the county for
taxable purposes at it's true value in
money, which means 100 cents on
the dollar, to pay the judgment.
In the Monroe county case a
judgment for about $4,000 is pend
ing against the county. In two 9TH
er counties, Yell and Garland, SINH
lar cases have arisen, and similar
suits now are pending in the feder-
al court at Little Rock.

HIGHWAYMEN HOLD
UP TWO FARMERS
(From Saturdays Daily Press)

(Fron Saturdays Daily Press)
w. M. Coffnan and John Alli-
son, two substantial farmers resid-
ing east of Parag0uEd, were the vic
tins of hold-up artists about dark
yesterday evening. Coffman and
Allison were each driving home in
their wagons, and before leaving
the city two strangers one a young
man, smooth faced, the other
middle-aged man with beard, asked
permission to ride into the country
several miles. Soon after the wag-
ons passed over the Lake street
bridge, each of the strangers pre-
scented a gun at the head of his BEN
efactor and demanded his valuables.
Coffman says his guest searched him
thoroughly and relieved him of four
dollars in money and gold watch.
Allison happened to be out or
change and was; unable to make
contribution to his hlghwayman.
Coffman says he is confident the
thugs thought, ne had the proceeds
of a load of cotton, because when
he showed the pistol in his face he
said, "Give me- that cotton money"
The thugs jumped out of the wagons
and came, back to Paragould, ad-
monishing Coffman and Allison not
to follow them. However, the VIC
tins did return to the city and
made efforts to locate the men, but
failed to find them.

THINGS DESTROYED
BY FLEEING TROOPS
(Rv Carl w. Ackerman)

Kowno. Russia, Sept. ". (By
Mail. - Especial to The Press. =
Back of the Russian retreat there is
said to be nearly 100000 refugees.
/ cot a glimpse of what terrible
event a retreat is, at the railroad
station last night and early today,
For a while the Russian retreat
was so rapid that the fleeing CIVIL
ians could not keep up and these -
especially .Jews-are returning TO
their empty homes.
Kowno must have been evacu ited
suddenly and in panic. The stores
are in the most dilapidated condi-
ton and the storekeepers and their
families who have returned, stand
about in their empty dirty, de-
stroyed shells, broken-hearted.
When we arrived at the station
a freight train came in bearing
wounded Germans from the firing
line. In several of the box cars
were returning refugees. Barefoot
ed women lowered about in straw
their black and vari-colored shaWls
drawn tightly about them-fright-
ened and cold.
The things they brought with
them added another unbelievable
aspect to the general restitution. l
saw woman with barely enough
clothes to cover her body bringing
back a sewing machine. A boy and
his father carried a sack of posses
sions and a white kitten.
In the city there remain the pitt
full old women and men who could

had to stay during the lombard
ment of the town, while the shells
flew thick as black birds down the
streets and over the city. No cell

them. Their sufferings must have
been terrible.
Today they are tracking about the
city, barefooted and leaning on old,
old handmade canes. Sunday they
were in the churches crawling about

ing prayers and walking up to kiss

Such is Kowno today-a city for
merly of $4,000 inhabitants, exclu-

To the visitor, Kowno appears ike
a southern town with but three or
four palatial residences and hun
dreds and hundreds of negro huts.
The buildings, aside from their
appearance, are poorly con-
structed and badly furnished.
The city was damaged in two sec
tions by the bombardment. the
fronts of the houses on some streets
bear evidences of machine gun fire.
The wall of the church across
from city hall is splashed with blood
and the heavy iron fence around
the monument is split in some places
as fine as kindling wood. Many
large buildings were destroyed by
fire.
Warnings of danger from cholera
and fever are posted in all public
places and the inhabitants and SOL
diers are forbidden to drink unboil7
ed water or eat fresh fruit.
The sewage system of Kowno is
bad. Winter has not yet set in and

have reopened, one eats with one
