Mr. Russell, it is alleged, pur- chased some meat which was said to have been stolen from the Linaker packing house one night last week and carried away in an automobile. Some of the meat was found in the store owned by Mir. Russell Satur- day after search had been made for the stolen property by officers.
 MT. Russell asserts that he pur- chased the meat from a man whose name he does not know.
 Officers are attempting to secure evidence against two young men, one jitney driver, and their arrest will likely be made soon. One suspected party is said to have left the city Friday night.

ANOTHER QUIET DAY
 ON COTTON MARKET
Price Movement is Narrow, With Close Unchanged to One LOwer-LiverpoOl Moderate Buyer New Crop Months.

New York, April 10-The cotton market was very quiet again today and fluctuations were narrow, with July contracts, for instance, ruling between 12O9c to 12.08c, with the close at 12.05c. The general list closed steady, net points higher to 3 points lower and generally un- changed to 1 point lower on the ac- tive months.
 Liverpool did not fully meet Satur- days local advance but private cables said that English spinners were little more active and the market here opened steady, with first prices l to 8 points higher. Liverpool was moderate seller of new crop months, but trade interests were buyers of the new positions, while low tempera- lures in the South were delaying crop preparations, may have accounted for some scattered commission house buying of later deliveries. At any rate the market showed a pretty steady undertone, with active months working about to points net high CT during the middle of the morning.
 There was no general or aggressive demand, however, and offerings in- creased during the middle of the day on an easier turn in New Orleans. May sold from 11.94c to 11.S7c and October from 12.24c to 1218c, but prices steadied around this level and later fluctuations were particularly narrow. There were a number of re- ports from South reporting rather bullishly on early new crop condi- tions.
 There were several reports from Texas to the effect that the drouth had not been relieved in the extreme south and that crop preparations were much delayed. The easier turn in New Orleans was accompanied by private wires saying that the frosts had done no harm and that Texas had been a moderate seller.
 Cotton, steady.

cfN BENNETT YOUNG
 AT COMING REUNION
,..,rost and Love Endears Com- '"'s .onder.in. Chief to Veterans Exnected to Ship Scores of
 Horses From Kentucky Farm.

o;rminpbam, Ala, April 11-(Spe- .;an--The coming reunion of the t'a,i c'afodorate veterans eXcites many ;.tsresting st anticipations, but nothing ' .aods in interest the coming of esn Bennett Young, commander-ln- 's;of of the Confederate veterans. mo T interest and love that General v.une has manifested for his com ,.dos in the gigantic struggle, has sndeared him to the veterans like no .tber man in the organization. As ho is a man of considerable means, cereral Young has never overlooked ! on onuortunity to contribute in a material way to the enjoyment of the ,eunions and the comfort of the sol diers while gathered together.
 As an indication of his interest he is expected to ship to Birmingham a score of horses from his Kentucky stock farm to be used as mounts in tbe parade by old soldiers, who, be- ug rather old to walk, always enjoy riding a spirited horse, remindful as that experience is of the spirited cav airy of the Confederate army. Gen eral Young, on the occasion of the 1908 reunion in Birmingham, sent a large number of horses down here for his comrades and it is learned that General Young contemplates a similar proposition unless unlocked for incidents intervene. In addition to bringing a large number of horses General Young is accustomed to bring band of music along to en- ligen things about his hotel. The musicians are given certain orders ss to the music they are to play and no one that has ever experienced such a concert will ever forget the strains of Dixie" " at or near the headquar- tes of the sterling old fighter from Kentucky,
 General Young, who is we'll known all over the south, will find awaiting hm at the reunion in Birmingham, May l6, F and l6, one of the most royal welcomes ever accorded a commander-in-chief of the Confeder- ate veterans.

TWO NOMINEES FOR
 GOVERNOR ARKAN AS
Dr. BrOugh, Democratic Nomi- nee and Sam Buseler, Spring dale, SOcialist-BOth From Same County.

There are already two nominees for governor ln the state. They arc Dr. c. H. Trough, of Fayetteville. the Democratic nominee, and Sam Buseler, of Springdale, the Socialist nominee. Both come from the same county of Washington. The Repub- licans will meet in convention in Lit tie Rock April 26, for the purpose of nominating candidate, and the prospects are that there will be quite lively contest for the empty honor Wallace Townsend, a young lawyer of Little Rock, most popular young fellow, seems to be the favorite, al though there are others who will in- slst upon the nomination. He is the chairman of the Pulaski county dele gation to the convention. The old race differences, which have caused so much trouble in the partisan ranks of the Republican party in Arkan- sas, will come up this time in a more Nlfulent form than ever before. The Progressives will also hold a state convention, but it is unlikely they will, nominate a candidate for governor. They will probably content them selves with electing delegates to the National Progressive convention in Chicago. The Progressives are opti- mistic, nationally speaking.
 "We shall probably nominate Roosevelt for President" said one of the Arkansas leaders. "We expect the Republicans to nominate him also. We do not propose to be ab- sorbed by the Republicans, but we will absorbe the Republicans.
