With each step he could imagine the

Federal Reserve Reports Show Conditions in All
 Lines Excellent.

Washington, Nov. 2.-The federal reserve monthly business summary announced that general conditions, in all the IF federal reserve districts of tlfe country were satisfactory, with extraordinary activity in nearly all lines. Labor shortage was reported by nearly all district agents, ana most of them referred to the high cost of living. |.
 In the Atlanta district reports both as to agricultural and almost all other lines indicate extraordinarily bright prospects for winter trade.
 New Orleans reported that during the month exports were worth $6,- 100000 more than during the same month last year.
 In the Dallas district conditions are satisfactory, and Kansas City report ed unabated business activity.
 St. Louis district, in which Arkan- sas is included, reported business best in years with sound financial conditions.

ranks Of both the Democrats and Re- publicans and is expected to have a deciding influenda in the contests for many of the important state officers. Foremost among the supporters of the proposed amendments IS William J. Bryan, who has stumped the state from end to end in it's behalf.
 Missouri is another leading state where the question of statewide pro- hibition is to be submitted to the voters next Tuesday. Of late years the. growth of prohibition sentiment inA Missouri has been remarka bly, strong, more than one-half the popu- 'lation now being in territory that pro- hibits the sale of liquor. But to win the fight for the entire state the "drys" will have to overcome : the strong ti-prohibition i. sentiment that is supposed to exist in St. Louis and other of the large cities.
 More hopeful of success are the Prohibitionists in South Dakota, another of the states where the voters will pass on the statewide prohibition issue. In South Dakota. as in all the neighboring states, the sentiment against the saloons has been steadily gaining ground during the past few years, but whether it has yet reached the point to turn the scale will not be known until after the ballots are counted.
 Several states already under prohi- bition will vote on proposals to strengthen their present laws, while in one or two others where nrOhi- bition prevailsfsthe "antis' have suc- ceeded to getting on the ballot meas Mrcs that are calculated to make a little less drastic the existing laws against the sale of liquor.

Fayetteville. Nov 2.-Coach E. T. Mcconnell and the University of Ark ansas football squad left here tonight for Shreveport, La., where they will play the University of Louisiana team Saturday.
 Altho the Razorbacks have piled up big scores in all three games played this season, Coach Mcconnell said he does not expect to win. He said he believed Louisiana is about three touchdowns better than Arkansas. "But we are going to give them a battle," he said. He added that all players are in good condition.
