LEGISLATIVE PRELIMINARIES.
Campaign Opens- Among Candidates
For Speaker Of House And Presi
dent Pro Tam. Of Senate.
Candidates for the honor of presid
ing over the deliberations of each
branch of the Thirty-fourth general
assembly of Arkansas are moving on
Little Rock and Wednesday will see
the opening of headquarters by sev
eral of the aspirants, says the Little
Rock Gazette. The legislature con
venes at noon next Monday and from
now until that time the hotel lobbies
and the different headquarters will be
ucenes of continuous activity.
Sex ator Joe L. Short, a candidate
for the senate presidency, is already
on the grouud, preparing to open
headquarters at the Capital hotel.
Judge John I. Moore of Helena will
open headquarters today in rooms 2
and 3 at the Capital hotel. His ar -
rival in the city this morning aug
ments interest in the speakership race,
in which he is a leading aspirant.
By Thursday, it is expected, all the
candidates for the custody of the gav
el in each of the two legislative
branches will have arrived and the
preliminaries will be on in earnest.
Many members will arrive early in
order to effect arrangements for hotel
or boarding house accommodations
during the session. A number of
members will be accompanied by their
families. Representative Rountree of
Pike county will be here with his
bride. He was united in marriage re
cently to a Pike county young lady.
With the advent of the legislators
there will be an unusual large influx
of candidates for the clerical anti
other positions at the disposal of the
solons. This suggests the fact that
an unwritten law obtains in both sen
ate and house by which the two po
sitions of enrolling' and engrossing
clerks in each branch are awarded to
ladies. In addition to this it has been
customary in the house to bestow up
on one of the fair sex the place known
legally as assistant sergeant-at-arms,
the duties of which are confined to
the handling of mail. Frequent at
tempts have been made to pass an act
barring ladies from these positions
and limiting the eligibility therein to
qualified electors. These attempts
have heretofore met with defeat,
hence there is no statutory provision
against the election of ladies to the
places named. The presence of many
feminine aspirants for clerkships will
therefore be a feature of the current
week’s campaigning.

IIAS MISSING AUSTIN
BECOME WILD MAN.
On Saturday night a report was
made to the Little Rock police by a
colored man named Burkes that he
and several other negroes, residents
of the Highland Park vicinity, had
seen a strange young white man, half
nude, in the woods. A negro woman
named Harvey was the last one who
saw him, last Friday. She had seen
him three separate times, and she
said that whenever he saw her he
would run like a wild animal. The
description she gave of him answered
very closely that of G. F. Austin the
Home Water Company auditor. She
said that some of the times he seemed
to have nothing on but an ovex’coat.
At least half a dozen persons were
found who saw him. S. P. Austin,
serge, tiawtrins anu meiecuve opjgui
scoured the vicinity for several hours
yesterday running down the clew with
no further result. One negro said he
saw the wild man in an old abandoned
house early in the week. Sergt, Haw
kins male inquiry at the insane
asylum nearby and found that there
had been no escapes from that institu
tion in four months, which makes the
clew a little stronger pointing to a
solution of the Austin mystery. S. P.
Austin says that the reward of $500 is
for the recovery of his brother, dead
or alive.

FRISCO INVITED TO
ENTER LITTLE ROCK .
Little Rock, Jan. 0.—Little Rock
business interests Monday took de
cisive steps looking to bringing the
Frisco railway system to this city. It
has been understood here for months
past that the Frisco intended to in- :
elude Little Rock on its St. Louis-New
Orleans line, probably extending its
line now at Hoxie to Little Rock, as
was contemplated by the Newman Erb
railroad scheme, recently absorbed by
the Frisco. The business interests of
Little Rock desire to hasten the ad
vent of the Frisco, and that, above all
else, it shall come into Little Rock
over its own rails. As the result of
the movement, joint action was taken
today by the city, the State Board of
Trade and the Little Rock Board of
Trade. The effort made is to induce
President Yoakum of the Frisco to
pay a personal visit to Little Rock,
and to that end letters urging his
personal presence in Little Rock were
forwarded to him today by Hon. W.
R. Duley, mayor of Little Rock; Col.
J. A. Woodson, president of the Ar
kansas State Board of Trade, and A.
B. Hamburg, president of the Little
Rock Board of Trade. Statistical
statements were forwarded to Mr.
Yoakum, showing the development of
Little Rock, the commercial tonnage
generally and the growth of the cotton
traffic. If he accepts the invitation
so cordially presented, it is believed
that the Frisco will be in Little Rock
before the close of the present year.
SALVATIONIST CRIMINAL
CAUGHT.
Texarkana, Jan. 6.-The chief of
police at Kansas City wired officers
here this afternoon that he has James
L. Jackson in jail and will hold him
until advised from here. Jackson was
indicted by the grand jury on the
Texas side last September, charged
with assault to murder his wife. The
coupie had been married about a year,
Jackson being an active member of
the local Salvation Army camp and
his wife a leading worker. It was
thought for a long time that the wo
man would die of her injuries, but she
finally recovered. Jackson escaped,
but was subsequently arrested at St.
Joseph, Mo., while conducting a Salv
ation Army street meeting, and was
brought back here. He soon suc
ceeded in breaking jail and escaping
again, since which he has been at
large. An officer will go to Kansas
City and bring him back tomorrow.
