Prof. R. III. Parrish and City Treas
urer j. T. Hester Announce
Their Candidacy.
From Thursdays Daily Press)

qFrom Thursdays Daily PfeSS)
Apparently there is going to be a
warm race for mayor of Paragould
to succeed H. NJ Jackson who an
nounces he will not be a candidate
for reelection. Prof. B. H. Parrish,
head of the Parrish business colleges
of Paragould and Jonesboro, and j.
eT Hester who is now serving as city
treasurer. this morning authorized
announcements as candidates for the
nosition. Others who have been men
toned as probable candidates are l..
G.. Thompson, B. F. Justice, Sam Nc
Haney. A. E. Ayers and J. R. Kirby
Prof. Parrish has been a citizen of
Para gould since 1899, during which
time he has operated business col
Iege from which he has turned out
hundreds of graduates who are now
filling positions of responsibility all
over this section of the state. He is
a man who attends strictly to his own
business and by his initiative and in
dustry has built up good schools in
Paragould and Jonesboro.
J. T. Hester has been serving the
city in public positions for many
wears. Back in the dim, distant past
he was mayor of Paragould and OF
course he made a good one. During
recent years he has been city treas
urer and no man ever more conscien-
tiously discharged his obligations to
the nublic than "Uncle Tom" He
desires to again serve the people as
Amayor and asks the favorable con-
sideration of the voters in the cleo
tion.
So far there are two candidates for
police judge-Jeff Bratton and Robt.
Blair. George Cox and l.. c. Thomp-
son have been mentioned as prospec-
tive candidates for police judge, but
neither has authorized any announce
ment. Police Judge Ben Crowley
will not be candidate to succeed
himself.
Ed Cole, the we'll known contrac-
tor and grocer residing on West
Hunt street, announces in this issue
for alderman from the second ward
to succeed Sam Shane who will not
be candidate for reelection. Mr..
Cole was petitioned to make the race
by about fifty of his friends in the
second ward. He has been a citizen
of Paragould for many years, engag-
ed principally in the concrete con-
tracing business. Ed is a hard
working, industrious and Thoroughly
honest citizen and his friends believe
he will make a good alderman.
No candidates have announced for
aldermen from the first and third
wards.

cludes a series of charts, a series of
photographs, few striking posters,
specimens of hookworms and other
intestinal parasites, small piece of

hookworm embryo under the micro
scope, and cases that have been
treated.
The physicians have given very eff
fective cooperation. Many agencies
whose work cannot be tabulated have
given indispensable aid in the con-
duct of the work, such as the press,
the ministers, state departments of
education, county school superintend-
ents and county school teachers.
The cooperation that has counted
for most is the cooperation of the

A great many people in Greene
county can't appreciate the mutual,
moral and physical effect that hook
worm has had on the south, because
there has never been very extensive
work done toward eradicating it in
the county.
There has been some survey work
done in the county and light infec-

ties in the southern states. AS much
as 96 per cent of the children in one

Attention, Farmers.

The citizens of Paragould have
spent $4,000 paving the principal
streets of the city, and in addition to
this sum it is necessary to continu-
ously spend money to keep the
streets reasonably clean. The city
authorities believe the people resid-
ing in the country feel proud of Par
agould and commend her citizens for
their enterprise. Therefore, the CO.
operation of the farmers is asked in
the matter OF helping to keep the
streets clean. Perhaps the farmers
who throw hay and corn cobs out of
their wagons do not realize that this
litter has to be cleaned up and that
it costs the city money to do it A
little forethought and cooperation
along this line will be greatly appre-
ciated.

SAYS Boys SLEEP
IN "AGG|E' BARNS
Legislative Committee Recommends
DOrnntOry for JOnesbOro
School.

Little Rock, Feb. 1S.-An urgent
appeal to the legislature to provide
for the erection of another dormi-
tory for boys at the Jonesboro agri-
cultural school, where, it is said,
many boys "are sleeping in the
barn." is the feature of the report OF
the visiting committee to the Jones'
boro agricultural school, filed with
the house Tuesday. A total of 7S1
pupils are reported at the school,
The report says there is no re-
yersionary clause in the title to the
school lands, no friction between stu
dents and faculty and that the man
agement is in every way satisfactory
termine. President Victor Kays is
commended and a larger salary for
him is urged. The books of the IN
stitution are reported IN good condi-
tion, with no deficit The board
members are given credit.
A similar report was made by tn
committee which visited the agricul-
tural school at Monticello, except
that the committee found that the
title to the land has reversionary
clause.
The committee which visited the
Jonesboro school was composed of
Senator Vann and Smith of Union
and Representatives Smith, Johns
and Thomasson. The committee
which visited the Monticello school
included Senators Duty and Owens
and Representatives Bennett of PUsn-
sett, McGill and Burrow.

railroad side of the question, saying
they were not sure as to how they
would vote in the end, but they
wished information, and in no other
way could they get it except in send
ing the bill to committee.
Following special message from
Gov. Hays Wednesday afternoon,
urging the passage of the senate bill
appropriating 100000 for the pur-
pose of perfecting a representative
exhibit of Arkansas at the San Fran
cisco Panama exposition, the house
Immediately suspended the regular
order of business and took up the
senate measure. Gov. Hays urged in
his message that the Arkansas build
ing is only partly finished and that
work has stopped on account of lack
of funds; that to allow the half fin
ished exhibit to remain so for the
opening day of the fair will bring
much unsavory comment upon the
state and it's products.
Mr.. Gray of independence offered
an amendment to cut the appropria-
ton to $4,000, but this was tabled.
An effort was made to set the bill
for consideration as a special order
next Friday, but this failed of the
necessary two-thirds.
The house passed the Stafford bill,
providing a new form of stock law,
based on the township as unit. The
bill, instead of voting fencing dis
trict, votes the stock up in the dis
trict affected and does away with the
necessity of fences. 1t provides that
the matter shall be determined by a
petition to the county court of 25
per cent of the qualified electors OF
the township or townships affected,
calling for a special election on the
subject of voting the stock up. If
the election carries, then the regula-
tions become effective. There was
some opposition to the bill, but Mr..
Alexander and others pointed out
that it was an enabling law mere
ly, and will do away with the neces-
sity Of 25 per cent of the local legis-
lation now brought about every two
years
The Waggoner bill, to regulate
pawn brokers and ''loan sharks" by
placing a privilege tax of from ST.
600 to $2,5OO on such operators, de-
pendent on the size of the city, was
passed, but not without some debate.
The vote was so to 25 for the pass
! age of the bill. 1t provides in de-
tail for the amount of interest that
may be charged, the redemption Of
pledges, etc.

BULLDOG SAVES THE
 LIFE OF MISTRESS

TUCSON, April H.-Thc quick in tervention of her pet bulldog Bud" probably saved the life of Mrs. s. E. Schley, of Vail, when she stepped into an enclosure squarely in front of a fve-foot rattlesnake, coiled to strike. Bud" came to the rescue of his mis- tress in answer to her scream, and killed the snake after sharp fight in which he was bitten himself three times about the head and nose.
 According to reports, Mrs. Schley Lad entered the enclosure which is surrounded by four-foot board fence through a narrow gate at one side She did not notice the rattler until she had gotten past it in such posi- ton that it was impossible to escape, when the shrill warning rattle of the reptile warned her of her danger and she screamed. Bud" had been wait ing outside the enclosure for his mis- tress and seemed to realize the dan ger, for he leaped over the paling in answer to Ms. Schley's cries, land ing squarely upon the snake. Then ensued battle The dog sought to corner the rattler, which with light ming rapidity struck the animal three times, before it could secure hold which ended the reptiles life.
 Bud was almost dead when Dr. ]. A. Ambrose, of Tucson, who had been called arrived. Injections of permanganate of potassium were ad- ministered, and no efforts were spar cd to save the dogs life. It's head was horribly swollen, and one eye was blinded, but it is slowly recovering from the effects of the poison, and it is thought by Dr. Ambrose that it will in time fully recuperate from the ef- fccts of the bites.
 In the meantime, Bud" is enjoy ing the popularity which comes to even dog heroes, but his new found fame has not affected his modesty at all. Esconsed among soft cushions, he is happy to lick the hand of his grateful mistress, answering her min istrations with a feeble but eloquent wag Of his tail, to assure her that all will be well.

DEFENSE GETS
 VERDICT IN LAWSUIT
(From SrnGay's Daily.(

(From S"nGay's Daily.l
 Bringing the Daughtrey versus Hermosa Company suit to an abrupt ending after four days of trial, Judge Ellis granted the defendants motion yesterday for a directed verdict which was done by the jury without leaving the court room.
 The plaintiff then made a motion for new trial on grounds that the court had no right to give the jury instructions to return a verdict in favor of the defendants. This motion was over-ruled and on motion of at torncys for the plaintiff 90-day stay O. execution was granted to Daughtrcy
 During the trial yesterday I. R. L. Daughtrey again took the stand in his own behalf and his attorneys en- tered more documentary evidence in the way of letters between him and J. s. Acker. The plaintiff then rested and the defense moved that the jury be directed to return a verdict in favor of the defendants. This motion was argued and submitted and the court instructed the jury to return verdict in favor of the defense hold ing that the evidence of the plaintiff was not sufficient to sustain judg- mcnt.
 Costs of the suit for the county were $lS3 jury fees and $3435 ex- pcnscs for Judge Ellis who was brought from Mohave county to try the suit ill which Judge Smith was disqualified. Under the new state law which will go into effect June 7, 1915. these costs could have been assessed by the judge as he saw lit
 Judge Ellis after the trial was over left on the afternoon train for Phoc- nix where he will remain for short stay, and then return to Kingman.

BUILD THE ROAD
 AND GET THE TRADE
(From Sundays Daily.)

A1lOAi SuhOdy DaHJJ
 Frank E. Wager, manager of the Tiptop Mining Company, which is to start up its mill in a short time, stated yesterday there is a general demand for an outlet, with Prescott preferred, via the old Black Canyon sage road.
 Another company Is now operating in that field on quite an extensive scale, the Acquisition, while individual mine owners reach to ove- 20 scatter cd throughout the district.
 There is going on at present quite revival of mining, and one of the necessities is good road facilities said Wager He also mentioned the important fact, not generally known, that Prescott as supply point for mining material, has the fullest stocks, as well is the price of explosives far more reasonable than in Phoenix The solution of this important road problem will come by completing work through Black Canyon only. On his return trip to the camp, Wag- CT will make an inspection of work performed, as well will he estimate the cost to complete this link, which means so much for mining along route of over g miles. His company recently expended $l000O in building from the camp to the main line fine highway that has withstood the heaviest storms known.

JUDGE 1ENa|nGS ... UPA0tDs CITY LAW
Rules That Ordinance Regulating vagrants Is vaIid-Rustgard
 Will Appeal Case.

JUNEAU, March 19.-Judge Jen- nings has upheld the validity of the city ordinance regulating yagrants, which authorizes the chief of police to cause the arrest of persons who are without visible means of support Rustgard immediately gave notice of appealing the case to the higher courts.
 The ordinance was attacked by At torney John Rustgard on habeas cor pus proceedings, declaring that the ordinance was class legislation and unconstitutional as it discriminated and was unfair to the great class of toilers who were honestly endeavoring to secure employment.
 The trial is the outcome of wig orous protest by the Juneau Socialists against the treatment of indigents by the Juneau city police in compelling persons convicted of vagrancy being forced to work on the streets. The row has already caused the removal of one chief of police and is caus- ing the new incumbent an uncomfort- able time as many of the prisoners refuse to work on the streets.

TRAPPER SUFFERED
 AN AWFUL DEATH
Had Been Terribly Torn By Bear and Realized That Death Only Could
 End Sufferings.

A scrap of paper has been picked up in the cabin of King Thurman, the trapper, whose badly decomposed body was found on the floor of his cabin in Chickaloon flats, which tells of the frightful agony suffered by him before ending his earthly career by a shot from his gun.
 Thurman's body was discovered some time ago and reported to the authorities as a suicide. Investiga- tion, however, shows that the poor fellow had been terribly torn by a bear and realizing that there was no earthly hope for him had made su- preme effort to reach his gun and end his sufferings.
 The last words of Thurman were written on scrap of paper and as his right hand had been nearly sever- ed by the bear he had scrubbed with his left the words: Have been torn up by brown bear. No show to get out. Goodbye" Later he had again attempted to, leave a message and had scrubbed I'm sane, but I'm suffer- ing" and -"the death-of" followed by a few; ;indecipherable marks. '"''t'
 William Austin and J. Wik found the body on March 4. and. when the men went to bury 1t they cut open the clothes.l The whole right side was torn and chewed up from the shoulder down and the ribs were loosened from the backbone.
