COTTON MARKET HIGHER
Bullish Weather News Dominates
 Trading at New Orleans.

New Orleans, May 6.-Unfavorable new crop news dominated the cotton market today and caused moderately strong advances on the new crop posi- tions. The old crop did not show much strength at any stage of the trading. A private bureau report in dicating almost no change in the acreage compared with last year put prices higher in the early trading and the fact that the weekly crop reports from the government were not as fav- orable as expected caused firmness later in the day. The market closed 5 to 65 points net higher. July showing a gain of points and January gain of 65
 On the opening the market hesitated because of the poor cables After the call the demand was sufficiently strength to put the prices up. A state ment that germination was slow in many sections and that stands were poor over wide areas helped the firm ness late in the day.

HAIL DOES DAMAGE
Boone County Fruit Crop is Badly
 Damaged by Hail.

sHarrison, May 5.-In the most dis astrous hail storm to ever visit Boone county, which came last midnight without a minutes warning. the fruit crop over the entire county was virtu- ally ruined, wheat and oats were dam- aged to large extent, houses were unroofed and other damage, aggregat- ing thousands of dollars, was done.
 The hailstones were fully half an inch in diameter.
 The storm flooded the dry branch which winds through Harrison, caus- ing it to overflow, Cattle, chickens and hogs were drowned and many gardens were ruined, and foot bridges were washed away by the swollen creek.
 A concrete backwater protected the light and power plant, but several houses in the lower portion of the city were flooded.

MODERN STILL CAPTURED
 IN POLK COUNTY HILLS.
Modern AutO-POWer Still and Ouan. tiues OI Whiskey Found in Polk
 County Hills.

Mena, May 5.-Down in the Brushy distance of Hatfield, Vandervoort and, Shady Point, in southern Polk county, old-fashioned moonshining and other lax fidelity to the law of the land of the traditional Kentucky and Georgia mountain district varities appear to exist, according to the report of Unit ed States revenue officers who raided a still on Brushy Creek which Chief Tisdale declares the most important he ever saw.
 With the outfit the revenue officers captured Bill Ashcraft and Jesse Gra- ham, who were arraigned before Com missioner Mechem here Tuesday and held under $500 bond each to the June federal grand jury.
 According to the officers Ashcraft claims to have come from Kentucky about ten years ago, where he admit ted having been brought up from boy in thecountry where "revenuers'' were much more scarce than moonshine outfits. Graham said he was a Geor- gian
 The officers report that the still was a sixty-gallon, old fashioned copper kettle and it was fanked with a complete home-devised distill- ing equipment, including even a home mill for grinding the corn and other grain. Large quantities of home ground shorts, chops and meal were found, and nearly a thousand gallons of mash was poured into the creek. There were said to be several home made boxes each about four feet high, wide and long, each full of mash in various stages of preparation for the still boiler. Considerable quantities of whiskey were found, and under chemical test Tuesday it was reported to be 110 proof liquor.
 A highly interesting feature to the officers was that the plant power for operating the mill was an outo- mobile. The car was anchored, rear axle Jacked up, one rear wheel replHc- ed with a wooden wheel which was connected with the mill by a belt, the power of the car thus running the mill for grinding corn and other grains.
 Iii searching for the Ashcraft home stead, the revenue officers report hav- ing found evidence that in the neigh borhood there was not much regard for the state game laws. In different parts of the premises the officers re- ported having seen sixteen deer hides, some of which had been very recently taken from the animals.

CARRANzA'S POWER IS
 RAPIDLY FADING AWAY
His Army DissOiyes and join kebei5 VI Without Show O4 Fignt; Way
 to Escape Bi0cKade.

Washington, May 5-Recognition of Carranza rapidly diminishing power in Mexico was admitted by gov ernment officials today, out the send ing of fiotilla of destroyers to south ern waters was not taken to indicate that foreigners are in immediate dan ger. The six destroyers which sailed from New York will arrive at Key West tomorrow and will be used only if necessity arises. Before his de- parture Captain Byron Long, con- mandng the flotilla, conferred with the secretary of the navy, who gave him instructions.
 Development of the revolution as reported to the government has been so rapid as to convince many officials, and especially army officials, that Car ranza cannot maintain his authority much longer, not so much because he is opposed by formidable military force, but because his army is daily dissolving before the rebels advance instead of offering battle.
 An estimate based on official in- formation places the strength of the. rebels at almost double that of the government The combination of the rebel forces has been hindered rather than aided by the rapidity with which new groupes form in the dicerent states and the promptness with which the federal garrisons have joined in the movement even before being threatened
 Rebels Bar Escape.
 Rebel claims that Carranza would have difficulty in leaving the country are supported by reports from off, cial sources. East and West ports are closed tc him by the operations of rebel forces at various places along the connecting lines. He still might escape ever the long line of railroad from tie capital at Laredo and the possibility of escape through the '1e- huantepee isthmus into Guatemala remains although this rOut is re- garded as :mpracticable on account of rebel activities on the road he would have, to pass. The revolutionists say tha, Carranza will have to flee like an ordinary fugitive.
 Such information as is available here continued to indicate the blood less character of the revolution. The along the west coast was continued, but no reports of any engagements were received.

BIG OIL DEVELOPMENT co,
 LOCATES HERE; TO DRILL
Red River Valley Leasing and Drill ing Co. Proposes to Drill Num-
 Der of Wells in County.

The Red River Valley Leasing and Drilling Company, which has recently been organized, has located here with offices at the New Johnson Hotel. The company representatives state that they expect to do a general drilling business in this county for oil or gas. They have geologist on the ground and expect to keep him in the field. The principals in the company are Steel, Joyner and Labbu. These gentle men have been in the city for some time and have great confidence in the ultimate finding of oil here.
 They have let drilling contract and will begin we'll in this section as early as possible. A representative stated Wednesday that the first we'll would be drilled on the Tom Grounds place in the eastern part of Ashdown provided sufficient acreage in leases could be obtained. Otherwise the we'll would be sunk in another place not so near Ashdown, where they al ready hold a large number of leases. The Grounds place is where strong in- dications or showing of gas were found few months ago, and which created quite an interest at that time. If gas could be found there it would be a great thing for the town. The site has been looked over1 by the geo. logist and his report is favorable. The required, number of leases have not yet been secured as the location is hedged in on one side by the town.

DISTRICT CLUB MEETING
 CLOSED WEDNESDAY
Delegates Declared it Most Successful Meeting Yet Held-WilI Go To
 TeXarkana Next Year.

1.-The eighth annual meeting of the Camden District Arkansas Federation of Women Clubs closed it's sessions here Wednesday afternoon and it was declared by delegates attending that it was the most brilliant and successful meeting yet held and compared it fav- -orably with the state federation meet ings. The number of delegates ana visitors was large. From the many expressions heard the Ashdown wom- en have every cause to feel that they have handled this big convention sue cssfully and that the whole thing does not fall short of real triumph. Dele gates from larger towns than this in point of population decided that they would be unable to handle the meet ing such as this as well, and so the next convention will go to TeXarkana. One of the things that went far to- ward the proper staging of an affair of this kind was that the church and it's reception room in the basement was ideally fitted for it and was cen trally located Another was the hand some and perfectly equipped school auditorium was close in, and no place anywhere could have been better for a great program such as was staged Tuesday night. Another thing that made it success was the Ashdown women who believe in putting things over once they undertake to do so.
 Fine Art Program.
 The greatest array of home talent that ever assembled here was shown in the great Fine Art Program Tues day night. Expressions such as this were heard by men on the streets next day: Ut was the greatest thing that was ever had in AshdoWn," Il have paid $2450 to hear things not near so good" Talent was represented from the various towns over the district, WnlCn was uneACelleu III lll0 StdIe. Philadelphia, Hope, Texarkana and the various other towns sent their best talent for this program, the best in voice, piano and reading. It would be hard in a program such as this to comment on each number separately. There were no weak numbers in the whole program. The last half of the program, "Grandnothr's Garden Par ty," was entirely of Nashville talent. Dressed in old time costumes, the hoopskirts and the pantaletts of our grandmohers day, this splendid chorus of voices, led by Mrs. Geo. Bell, made decided hit. In this program was also readings, piano, voice and a min uett They closed with medley of Southern songs In the first part Of this program was an Ashdown girl, Miss Dorothy Corbett, who won 'the first encore with humorous reading.
