MISTAKE CAUSES
 SOLON TROUBLE
MT. Pope Did Not Try to Annex Part of Randolph to Clay
 County.

An example of the trouble a small error may cause is shown in the case of bill introduced in the last house of representative by MT. Pope of kandolph county, says the Arkansas Gazette. MT. Pope's meas ure was to make Current river legal fence in Randolph and Clay counties. In the calendar of the days proceedings in the Gazette the bill was reported as one to make Current river the boundary line be- tween Randolph and Clay counties.
 To have passed such a bill as the Gazette reported MT. Pope's to be, would have meant the transferring of some 10000 acres of the best land in Randolph county to Clay county. Consequently the report created a small panic in the coun- ty. MT. Pope. was deluged with letters, telegrams and long distance telephone calls. The Gazette print tu OlttCtloh Ol lAC Ol q lCW days after the bill was introduced and MT. Pope had the local papers in the county make statement con corning the erroneousness of the report.
 In addition to these steps the Ga zette reported the bill correctly when it passed the house, was con sidered in the senate and passed the senate. However. when the bill was approved by the governor another error was made in the report be- cause the numbers of the bills were obtained and the titles looked up in the Gazette files at the time of their introduction. On this occasion the bill was reported as a bill Ire garding the boundary between Ran dolph and Clay counties" Politi- cal enemies of MT. Pope seized the opportunity to attempt to make new enemies for him, declaring that his explanation that the first report of the bill was erroneous was false, and that the bill which was approved by the governor was a boundary line. A fact which added to the flame of political opposition was that the proposition to change the boundary of the county was an ac- cusation of some of MT. Popes op- ponents in his campaign to repre- sent the county in the house

AUSTRIANS DEFEATED NEAR
 MEZOLABORCZ.

Lemberg, April 15.-In a desper- ate attack by the Russians on the right flank of the Austrian position about 50 miles south of Przemysl, the Austrians were forced after 12 hour battle to make a precipitated retreat. The whole main crest in this district which the Austrians considered to be impregnable, now is in Russian hands.
 The main body of the Austrian army then moved on Rostoka, where they found the Russians prepared in strong defensive position. and they again were repulsed. Another attack made by the Austrians in the southern district of Uzsok met with similar check, the Russians occu- pying a position three miles from Uzsok.
 The left flank of this Austrian army is being gradually exposed to the Russian advances toward Bart field and Gummino.

New Haven, Conn.,, April 14.- William Howard Taft and other honorary pallbearers at the funeral of Prof. Thomas R.

Prof. Taft extended his, and the two men shook hands after war of more than four years.
 How do you do, MT. Taft?" said MT. Roosevelt. (When he was nan aging his campaign for the presi- dency he called him 'Bill.")
 "How do you do, Mir. Roosevelt?' was the perfunctory reply.
 MT. Roosevelt withdrew his hand quickly and called MT. Seymour aside A few minutes later, just before the funeral service began, MT. Roosevelt approached MT. Taft and asked:
 "How is Mrs. Taft?'
 The reply was not heard and Mir. Roosevelt continued
 Be sure to remember me to Mrs. Taft"
 Then the procession started.

YECCS DYNAMITE
 GREENWOOD BANK
Six Bandits Blow up Vault and Es- cape With $2,500-Blood-
 hounds Take Trail.

Greenwood, April 14.-The Se- bastian State Bank was robbed of $2,5OO early yesterday by gang of six yeggmen. The robbers escap- ed. While three men dynamited the vault, three others stood guard out side. By the time citizens were aroused the men had fled.
 Four charges of nitroglycerine were required before the bandits opened the door of the vault. Then they dynamited the safe inside the vault. Four charges were required before they opened the safe.
 Several persons were aroused by the explosion and started for the bank, but they gave up their inves tigation when they encountered the lookouts. One of the lookouts was stationed in front of the court house and the other two on oppo site ends of the public square. All carried rifles, hence the investiga- tors turned back.
 The robbers left the town via the Iron Mountain railroad and headed toward Jenny Lind.
 Earl Dawson heard the eXplo- sions, and arming himself, he sta toned himself at the railroad. As the men approached he heard them talking of the robbery and arguing as to how to divide the money. He fired five shots at them. They scattered and took refuge behind a coal dump.
 Sheriff Thompson of Fort Smith arrived here shortly after the rob bery with bloodhounds. The dogs trailed the men to Jenny Lind, a distance of six miles. The trail led out of that place for a distance of two miles and then returned to the city, where it was lost, and the search was called off.

CAPITOL SUIT TO
 HIGHEST COURT
Caldwell & Drake, Former Contrac. tors, Take Claim Against Ar.

Little Rock, April 14.-Transcript is being prepared in the office of the supreme court clerk for an ap- peal to the United States supreme Eourt of the case of Caldwell & Drake against the state for $225,- 900, alleged to be due for work in completion of the new state capitol here. The Arkansas supreme court held that the state could not be sued for debt. Efforts of the con stfuction company to get appropria- tions from legislatures to cover the balance alleged due have been un- availing. The contractors claim that had they been allowed to fin ish the state house structure, they would have made a profit of $100,- 900, whereas by being deprived of this they actually lost $225, 1000.

Jonesboro's Indebtedness.
(Jonesboro Tribune )

Mayor Turner and Clerk Martin this morning checked up the out standing scrip, and after a careful and correct audit of the books the outstanding scrip was shown to amount to the sum of $5,992.57.
 This amount is comparatively small and with the proper and care full management the city will soon be out of debt and will have money in the treasury. The collector will at an early date turn over the rev. enue recently collected as taxes, which amount will put the city on cash basis.
 The scrip, which represents the city's indebtedness, is most all held by the banks and the collector

FAIR PROMOTERS HOLD A MEETING
Elect Directors and Officials and Make Plans for Larger Exhibi-
 ton Here Next Fall.

(From Wednesdays Daily Press.)
 There will not only be a fair held in Greene county next fall, but it is going to be the biggest and best of any of the fairs yet given under the auspices of the Greene county fair association. This was determined yesterday at a most en- thusiastic and largely attended meeting of stockholders held in the Chamber of Commerce rooms. The officials of the association had made two previous calls for stockholders meetings and on each occasion no one showed up. Finally President c. A. Mack and Secretary John Ros- son announced publicly they were ready to quit and throw up the sponge. This announcement woke the stockholders up and they insist ed that another call me made, which was done and the date set for yes terday. About thirty stockholders responded, the largest number that has attended meeting since the organization of the association.
 Splendid talks were made by l. c. Leggitt, Tom Bentley, F. D. Woodburn and J. B. Blakemore. No one would countenance the idea of disbanding or discontinuing the an nual fall fairs. On the contrary all agreed that the fair next fall should be on a bigger scale than previous fairs and that the premiums should be increased.
 After much general discussion the stockholders proceeded to the elec tiSn of directors. P. E. House. Joe Co Wood, w. J. Moore. Martin Thompson, Tom Bentley, c. A. Mack and John Rosson were reelected di- rectors, and Henry Highfill. H. s. Trice, R. Jackson and Geo. o. Light were added to the board of directors.
 c. A. Mack asked to be relieved of the presidency, suggesting that it would be more appropriate to put some man from the rural districts in as head of the organization. How ever, the directors would not take this suggestion seriously and insist ed that MT. Mack serve again. He Qas reelected over his protest, but finally yielded and said he would do all in his power to make the fair a success. Joe Wood was reelected vice president, and John Rosson was again chosen secretary-treasurer.
 The directors voted to increase the premiums on all live stock and poul- try exhibits. The fair catalog will be revised next week and will be issued within the next two months.
 The following superintendents were chosen by the directors:
 implements W. Meriwether.
 Fruits and flowers - Miss Crutchfield. residing near Marma duck.
 Garden products-R. W. Beck.
 Fancy work-Miss Agnes Reiney.
 Paintings-Mrs. J. E.. Childs.
 Canned goods, pickles, jams and jellies-Mrs. Henry Highfill.
 Preserves-Mrs. Joe c. Wood.
 Dairy products-Mrs. E. D. Woodburn.
 Poultry-A. w. Fligor.
 Hogs and sheep-J. E. Newberry.
 Dairy and beef cattle-Martin Thompson.

 The fair will be held on October 26 to 30 inclusive.

STRICTER TAXLAW
 IS S0RELY NEEDED
Attorney General Says Dodgers Should Be Made to Suffer Ex-
 tra Heavy Penalties.

That change in the present tax laws is one of the greatest needs of the state is the opinion of Attorney General Moose, says the Gazette. It is Judge Moose's opinion that not only the tax laws but the attitude of the taxpayers toward the laws must be changed before the revenues of the state will be what they should be from the property assess ed
 Undoubtedly there are defects in our present laws through which large amounts of property are never assessed or taxed" he said yester- day. 'In many cases personal prop erty is not assessed at all or at so low rate that the burden of taxa tion is thrown upon the real estate owner far more heavily than it should be. What we needed is a law to place a sufficient penalty on the nonasessment of personal prop erty so that it will be included in that assessed for taxation.
 'I know a man in Little Rock who I have no doubt owns $250,- 900 worth of personal property, in- cluding notes, mortgages, bonds, etc. Yet this man is assessed at $500 for personal property. He never lists his
 
 ring to pay the fine of $1 which the law imposes for failure to assess ones property and then allow the assessor to make the assessment. The latter has no way of knowing what personal property the man has ex- cept what he can see, such as his household goods and watch, so he places his personal property at what other mems are assessed at. It is the same in thousands of cases. Per sonal property valued at millions of dollars is never placed on the tax rolls.
 'I had introduced in the last leg islature bill which sought to rem edy this defect. The bill provided for heavy fine for failure to turn in property and provided that the prosecuting attorney should receive contingent fee out of property which he was instrumental in plac- ing upon the tax books. In the hurry of the session, the bill did not become a law, but I believe such a bill will be passed in the next legislature.
 :" I think most people will admit that our tax rate is not too low to produce sufficient revenue to run the state government and institu- tions. What we need to do is to get all the property on the asses sor's books.
 Another reason for our low rev. enue is the moral attitude of the people toward the payment of taxes. We need an awakening on this point. People think it is wrong to beat man out of his just dues, but that it is all right to fail to pay taxes into the state treasury. know a woman who owns mortgages that bring her in comfortable iu- come, and yet she never places them on the assessment books. She is a church member and considers that she is doing right. She does not realize that to withhold personal property from the tax records amounts to defrauding the state out of so much money, and that it is as wrong as 1t would be to defraud an individual"

IT'S CHEAPER TO BUY
THAN BORROW A PAPER

The other day man living out of
Glendale, and who was too stingy to
take his home paper sent his small
son to borrow copy from neigh
Dor, In his haste, the boy knocked
over four hives of bees and as result
was badly stung. When his sons
cries reached the fathers ears, the
fond parent at once started to his aid,
but failed to notice barb wire fence,
which he ran into, running four dol
lar pair of pants and cutting himself
up considerably. The family COW took
advantage of the hole in the fence by
getting into the field and killing her
self eating corn. Hearing the noise,
his wife ran out, upsetting a four gal
Ion churn Of rich cream into basket
containing some little kittens, drown
ing the whole family, and in her hurry
she dropped a SIT set of false teeth.
The baby who was alone in the house
crawled thru the spilled cream into
the parlor, running a new $25 rug.

daughter ran off with the hired man
and goat broke his chain and chewed
