Duel With Officers.
Fort Smith, Oct. 31.—After a
pistol duel near Hanson, Okla
homa, today, J. Ellison, B. H.
Baker and Lee Davis were ar
rested by a posse of Sequoyah
county, Oklahoma, officers and
officers from Van Buren, charg
ed with having stolen $500
worth of merchandise from the
stores at Van Buren Wednes
day night. Although 40 shots
| were exchanged in the fight
| none was injured. Baker and
Davis confessed when they
were taken to Van Buren today
and the clothing they wore was
identified as having been stolen
from the stores. The two men
escaped on a freight train, their
pistol fire preventing the officers
from boarding the train.
i *'
Revival Closes.
Sunday evening the protract
ed services at the Christian
church closed with a splendid
sermon by Evangelist J. Murray
Taylor. The subject of his ad
dress was “The Secrets of a
Successful Life.” The speaker
emphasized the thought that.
each child should be given the
opportunity to develope his spe
cial talent. As an illustration he
used the case of Isaac Watts.
the world-famed hymn write]
whose father tried to whip th
boy, Isaac, out. of the habit o
making rhymes. The youthfi
poet, however, fell under th
care of a teacher who had mor
sympathy with the child’s ter
dency at verse-making, and tc
day the Christian world praise
God in the singing of Dr. Watt'
beautiful hymns.
Again the father of Dani<
Webster tried to train the bo
Dan to become a farmer, but ii
stead all the lad’s tendencie
were toward law, oratory an
statesmanship, in which tiling
Daniel Webster, the man, wo
the world’s acclaim.
This thought regarding one’
natural talent established, Mi
Taylor passed to the consider;
tion of three other things tha
make for a successful life. H
said the one who would wi
must be an optimist, seeing, thfe
better and more hopeful side of
everything; he must be an
idealist, having before him the
Christ, the perfect fnan, as his
pattern and guide; he must al
fco be an enthusiast, putting
much energy and enthusiasm in
to all that he does.
In the morning sermon Mr.
Taylor expressed to his hearers
some of the beautiful thoughts
and hopes of "Heaven" which is
but reasonable for us to accept,
from the evidences given us
through the Word of God
Mr. Taylor will remain in
Newport until Tuesday evening
iwhen he will lecture in the High
School Auditorium, his subject
to be “In Old. Kentucky."

broadcast through the city a
warning in regard to the efforts

“Every effort is being made
by the saloon eleemnt to retain
the saloons in Little Rock and
Argenta by means of petition,
under the new' law requiring the
names of a majority of the

age. Upon good authority we
learn that all kinds of false
statements are being made by a
company of canvassers in their
efforts to secure the signatures
of the people. The Christian
people of Little Rock and Ar

tiplied thousands. Not one of
these can sign such a petition

I.it lie Rock, Ark.. Xo\.
The approach of the March pri

in the political conditions of' the
state. The candidates have lie
gun swarming and there prom
ises to lie the usual number of i
aspirants for the various offices.
hile the interest will center in
The race for the I nited States
[Senate between Senator .lames
1‘. Clarke and Associate Justice
W. ]•. Kirby, there are some oth- i
p-r contests that will not be do- I
ivoid of interest.
The Senatorial campaign is ’
already opening- Judge Kirby j
has been covering the state with
his platform and an nou nee
dments, while Senator Clarke,
; seeking a third term, is looking
[after his political fences, and im
mediately after the adjourn
jinent of the present extraordin
ary session of congress will get
into the thick of the fight until
it is settled. Each has his
strong adherents, and the race
promises to be an unusually in
teresting one.
Gov. 11 ■ ys will have no opno- i
sition, and the same thing is ]
probably true of State Auditor
L. L. Coffman, Associate Justice
Jesse Hart, Commissioner John
H. Page and Attorney General
W. L. Moose. George B. Cook is
a candidate for a fourth term
as Superintendent of Public In
struction, and Prof. J. W. Kuy
kendall of Fort Smith is the on
ly probable candidate who has i
been mentioned in opposition.
Earle W. Hodges, now serv
ing his second term as Secretary
of State, one of the .state’s most
popular officials, among the
newspaper fraternity, is a candi
date for a third term, and is al
ready shelling the woods at

E. Clinton, mayor of Dardanelle,
T. Harrison Downing of Harri
son, W. T. Maxwell, a Benton
county representative in the last
legislature, and Bruce Bullion,
assistant secretary of the State
Tax Commission, are among
those whose names have been
mentioned in connection with the
office.
For State Treasurer only one |
candidate has so far appeared, |
R. C. Daniels, of Clark county, i
chief deputy under J. W. Crock-1
ett. Mr. Crockett is retiring af-1
ter serving his second term, and j
has not announced his political)
program for the future. The !
fact that the State Treasurer is'
required to make a bond for
$000,000 deters many from mak
ing that race, for it is no easy .
matter to induce the public to
sign so large a bond. Ernest
Tipton, book-keeper in the,
Treasury, and now Secretary of j
'the Railroad Commission, has,
announced that he will not make j
1 the race as he had intended to
'do at one time.
