Little Rock, Aug. 23—Clou y
weather, hut little ruin for the
next few day-, is the weather
prospect for Arkansas, which
will be quite a relief to the far
mer. Even at that 1.72 inches
of rain must fall in this vicinity
before the first day of Sept
ember to make the year a nor
mal one on rainfall. The three
months of ably, June and July,
the Heavens opened and the de
luge began. The excess for the
21 days of this month was 4.65
inches, but still there is nearly
two inches short on the year.
and Section Dirctor Alciatore
says the chances are that Sept
ember 1 will arrive and find
this year not an unusual one,
so far as rainfall is concerned
for the year.

Little Rock, Aug. 2d.—Leh
man Kay, former secretary o:
the State Capitol Commission,
came down from Salm ITiesda.x
to attend to business in the su
preme court, and while here
told how the practice of secret j
weddings had been broken up
iu Fulton county, and how the1
Salem baseball team at the same
time lost the services of its
bet player and captain for
yy: or more.
The player in question was
two weeks ago secretly married
to the daughter of a well known 1
merchant of Salem, the cere-1,
mony being perform' d, by they
countv clerk', who L also a min
inter, with the instructions to,
keep the matter quiet. The
bride and groom were stopping
temporarily at the home of a .-as
ter of the bride, when a brother
of the bride walked in on them.
Not knowing them to be mar
ried, he proceeded to use a chair
upon the bridegroom with much
strength and vigor. The plead
ings of the bride and the chair
being worn to remnants, finally
persuaded the brother to desist,
but he held onto an arm of the
chair for further use until the
couple hunted up and showed
him the marriage license.
All Salem is now laughing
over the occurrence, and at the
same time it is mourning the
loss of a good baseball player at
the time when he is needed for
the annual match game with
Mammoth Springs.
River Rises Again.
White river rose to 14.5 feet
