Ozark Man Dies at
 Little Rock Hospital
Franklin County Farmer Who Was Declared to be Insane, Died Sunday; Will be Buried Here.

Daniel G. Dutton, who several years ago came to Franklin county from Illinois and located on the Ohler farm some two or three mics north of Ozark, died Sunday at the state hospital for the treatment of nervous dis eases, at Little Rock.
 It will be recalled that Mir. Dutton purchased the farm upon which he located, paying part down and agreeing to pay the remainder in installments. it being alleged that he failed to meet said payments when due. At the maturity of the second or third payment interested parties began to grow suspicious and being unable to gain any infor- nation from MT. Dutton as to his plans of satisfying the mort gage, became alarmed and prompted by the peculiar actions of the man, started an investiga- tion. MT. Dutton, it is alleged, noticed nothing, ignored notices demanding removal for non-pay- ment and otherwise exhibited a solid and strange demeanor. Finally he was taken in custody by the sheriff's force, tried and adjudged insane. whereupon Jailer Mcclellan removed him to the state hospital where he re- mained until his death.
 The remains were shipped here. arriving Monday night and interment was made in Mt, Hope cemetery.

 Gray, shifting clouds spat in- termittent furries of snow. the first real snow of the season, on Ozark Sunday and a moderate stiff breeze briStled with iciness, hurled them in the faces of pedestrians-all of which proved a vivid reminder that Old Man Winter is still upon the throne.
 And worst of all, the paid prognosticators on the weather promise little relief for a day or so yet or even longer Instead, the forecast indicates the use of coal and wood in even greater quantities and threatens to make a magnate of the coal and wood man. The indications are," says the forecast coldly, for r in and continued cold weather y
 Pedestrians who were forced to be out Sunday hustled along while persons fortunate enough to be at leisure stayed at home by cheery fires. It was cold all day, the mercury in the ther- mometer staying below thirty five degrees above zero.
 Persons passing on Second street were seen to stop in front of the J. W. Boozman & Sons store and gaze upon the large thermometer there, shiver, pull their coats closer around them and then make off for the fire.
 Sunday afternoon, however, the chilly blasts that were sweep ing from the realm once inhabit- ed by Dr, Cook and Lieutenant Peary gained ferocity and soon began forcing the sensitive fluid down and before 6 o'clock it was down the space of degree or more. Considerable ice was formed on telephone wires and trees, resulting in much damage.
 King Sol made a weak effort to retain some of his old time summer glory Monday, but after working a while trying to make humanity get up a sweat, con- cluded he was doing well to even light up the world, and with drawing behind a bank of clouds left to the fuel men the task of keeping the people warm.
 The snow Sunday afternoon gradually turned to rain which continued at intervals until Mon day when practically all the snow and ice melted off. The amount of snowfall was report ed, unofficially, at ? inches, but owing to the warmth of the ground it is estimated that but about Il inches remained upon the ground any length of time. From reports coming from different sections of the state it is evident that the snow- fall was general over this section.

Dr. Brough Greeted by Large Audience;
 Promises Relief From Present Conditions
Candidate for Governor Outlines Stand Important Issues Demanded by Present Condions-Has Plausible Plan to Materially Reduce Taxation and Gives Clear Answers to Each of Hodges Alleged False Charges

Dr. c. H. Brough, democratic candidate for governor of Ark ansas spoke at the opera house in Ozark Tuesday morning, ac- coustics being exceptionally good considering the inc l e m e n weather which was practically prohibitive of the farmers at tending, notwithstanding the opera house was filled to capacity.
 Attorney G. w. Barham intro duced the speakers, two of whom preceded Dr. Brough. V. A. Beeson was the first man up who told the audience in a very impressive manner that he de- sired to be made secretary of state. MT. Beeson is a news paper man and politician of con- siderable notoriety. Following Mr., Beeson, Oscar Wynn, can didate for railroad commissioner gave brief talk in which he presented his claims to the voters present. Mir. Wynn is a former Franklin county man, at one time a school teacher in the southern part of the county, He also married a Franklin county girl.
 Dr. c. H. Brough was next introduced who occupied the platform for more than an hour in a very able and eloquent speech. A part of his time was spent in defending himself against the alleged unfair at tacks made upon him by his op- ponent, Earle w. Hodges, who spoke here Monday. It was evident that the speaker made very clear his side of the argu- ment. He left nothing unsaid and gave special attention to every charge Hodges has made against him. All his remarks reference his opponents were clean and business like and prac- tically free from personalities.
 A brief autobiography was given by Mir. Brough in which he stated that he was born in Clinton. Mississippi. He is not a doctor of medicine as many suppose, but falls heir to the appelation of doctor" from the fact that he holds a degree from Johns Hopkins university O f doctor of philosophy. He is a well educated man, a brainy man and a man who is competent to fill the office to which he aspires.
 He is not a machine politician but, as he says, he is fighting one of the best oiled, smoothest- running political machines ever made up. He stated that this machine had four wheels. the main driving wheel of which is the St. Francis Levee Board. Several minutes were devoted to l. A

tion, it's tactics. it's unfair methods and the means by which the people of the entire state were being robbed by taxation and ridden by graft. Another wheel he referred to was Geo. w. (Wobbly) Hays and his class of political grafters. MT. Brough's S speech was we'll liked and the crowd applauded liberal ly. Fitting tribute was paid to the late and respected Jeff Davis who has many admirers in this as well as other parts of the state.
 One of Dr. Brough's plans, if elected governor, is to reduce the amount of state taxation. He recited at length many ways by which he would accomplish this. In the first place he would go after the tax dodgers and would thus secure hundreds of thousands of dollars in assess ment valuation which has hereto fore gone unnoticed. He would have the books of every state institution carefully audited every four months. the results of this audit to be published thus protecting the people from graft from this source. Every coun- ty equalization board must go, " said the speaker. His plans are to place Arkansas in employment of the same system that is now in vogue in Oklahoma and Texas, where a deputy assessor is ap- pointed for each township to actually see and talk with the farmers and business men rela- tive to a fair assessment value on their property. This way they would actually meet the tax payer-come face to face with them and thereby be able to put an honest, fair and square valuationon each mans property. There are 25 townships in Frank lin county which would require twenty-five deputy assessors working about two days in each year. Counting this at the most the cost would be $250 each year, whereas the county equali- zation board, he states, costs the taxpayers S452 every time they meet.
 He is a good roads enthus fast and road improvement is one of his promises. He plans to use state prisoners on the road in much the same manner as the system now employed in Georgia thus guaranteeing a system of good roads for the state. Dr. Brough is making the race in the interest of good, clean politics and asks the good citizens of the state who are in sympathy there with to come out and cast their vote for C. M. Brough on March oQth

Five hundred thousand dollars will be
appropriated by the State to educate physi-

proposed bill, now in the hands of the
Public Education and Child Labor Associa-
ton, gets through the Legislature. This
money would be apportioned to the several
school districts in sums of $500 for each
teacher employed for the instruction of
children years or more over age for their
grade In special CLASS
In circulars distributed at the CONNER
ciaI Museum, where the Philadelphia To-
day and Tomorrow Civic Exposition is be-
ing held, 1t is asserted that last year 10000
children in this citys elementary schools
failed to be promoted.
THAT means that virtually one In six
puptls had to go back over not only subjects
in which they had failed but also In which
they had passed" is statement taken
from the circular This discourages chill
dren, and more than anything else makes
them dislike school work, 1t costs the city
each year thousands OF dollars to instruct
pupils second time in subjects which they
have already mastered, and the number OF
pupils held back adds to the problem OF
