FUTRALL AWARDED PLACE..
Late Candidate for Stale Superintendent
of Schools Elected Superintendent
of School for Blind.
Little Rock, April 5.—Thomas
A. Futrall of Marianna, who 'was
3^ candidate for state superin
tendent of public .instruction in
the recent Democratic state pri
mary, was elected superintend
ent of the state school for the
blind, by the state board of
charities yesterday.
The selection of Prof. Futrall,
who for a number of years has
p been superintendent of the
\ / schools at Marianna, came as a
surprise, inasmuch as it was not
known that he was a candidate
for the position. It was known
some time ago that the board
would elect a new superintend
ent at the meeting- next month,
but even those who had consid
ered the matter had not thought
of Prof. Futrall as a candidate.
Prof. Futrall will succeed Col.
O. C. Gray., who died in Decem
ber. Since that time Prof. Lee,
assistant superintendent of the
school, has been in charge of the
institution. Prof. Futrall will
charge of the school at

Pocahontas, April 5.— The
river jat this point is still rising,
having moved three inches up
the ^auge in the past twenty
four hours.
The water from the river has
cut across the bend and caused
such a rise in running water in a
, small creek about, five miles be
low here that it washed out sev
ral feet of the Frisco track,
flitting off all trains and mails
_|m Hoxie. There are num
bers of crews working there and
they may have it so trains can
run across it tomorrow.

Contract for Sprinkling.
The sprinkling of the streets
S of this city has never been done
' upon any systematic basis. One
man probably paid for a privil
ege that his equally able neigh
bor also enjoyed, and to put all
1 on the same footing, the water
company this year proposes to
make contracts for the season
from April 16 to November 1
and to sprinkle only those blocks
where the property owners or
renters are willing to subscribe
for the service for that time.
And as stated,.unless.the: people
..are willing to get together, there
may be no street sprinkling,
whereas if all pay a proportion
ate rate to the frontage of their
! property and guarantee it for
, the season by subscribing to
such a contract, general service
vyiay be secured without the cost
falling heavily upon any indi
vidual.
W. T. SCROGGINS NAMED
: To Put Lid cn in Hot Springs by Gov
ernor After Consultation With
Ministers Aiding Reform.
Little Rock. April 5.—After a
consultation with a committee
of ministers from Hot Springs,
! for about an hour this morning,
i.Gov. Davis announced that he
would appoint \V. T. Scroggins
of Hot Springs prosecuting at
j torney for that district, and the
$15 fee for his certificate was at
once paid to the secrete y of
state by Rev. W. T. Amis, one
of the visiting ministers.
The appointment of Mr. Smog
gins to the position made vacant
recently by the death, of B. H.
Morrison, gives credence to the
report that Gov. Davis intends
to “put the lid on” in Hot
Springs and close all gambling
houses and Sunday .saloons. The
governor made the announce
ment a few days ago that he
would make the appointment of
a prosecuting attorney for the;
district in which Hot Springs |
lies, and that he wished to see i
the ministers of that city in his :
office for any suggestion they:
might make. A committee con- i

this morning and the conference
resulted in the appointment of
Mr. Scroggins as afore-men
tioned.
Mother Steals Baby.
Fayetteville, April 5—There!
was a sensational scene in Mayor
Eason’s court Tuesday evening, j
Tom Crook,' a former resident j
but now of Missouri, was ar
rested because of an old and un- j
paid fine. He appeared in court1
with a baby and while before
the mayor his wife, whom it .
seems he had deserted, came in
and begged the mayor to secure j
the child for her. Mayor Eason j
told her it was impossible for
him to assist her, but when
Crook stepped up to the mayor’s;
desk to pay the fine the woman j
grabbed the baby and tied. She}
stili has possession of the baby.:
There is more Catarrh in this I
section of the country than all
other diseases put together, and
until tne last few years was sup
posed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pro
nounced it a local di-ease and
prescribed local remedies and
by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional
disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Hall’s
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
F. J. Cheney &: Co., Toledo,
Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. It is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops
to a teaspoonful. It acts direct
ly on the blood and mucous sur
faces of the system. They offer
one hundred dollars for any case
it fails to cure. Send for circu
lars and testimonials.
