FOR MILITIA TRIP.
IliJ Preparations are being rapid!

©visional regiment of the stat

and (ne encampment on m
World’s fair grounds during the
week following. The transpor

expected that about 500 men,

are forced to come to Little Rock
i to reach St. Louis, will be in the
city Sunday and leave over the
Iron Mountain Railroad for St.
Louis Sunday night. Major R.
M. Pearson of the First battalion
of the provisional regiment has
secured permission from the city
council to give an exhibition drill
and sacred concert at the City
Park next Sunday. The visiting
companies are expected to take
part in the drill.

check from the war department
for $11,500, the amount appro

the encampment. This money
will be used exclusively to pay
the officers and men of the regi

BUTTON COMPANY
SUES ENGINE MAKERS.
Wednesday morning was con
sumed in the circuit court by a
hearing of the evidence in the
suit of the Valley Button Com
pany versus the Fairbanks-Morse
Ejngine Company for damages al
leged to be due by reason of an
overconsumption of gasoline to
the value of $160 by the engine
sold to the plaintiff's by said
company.
Upon a ruling of the court that
the damages were not to be de
termined by the amount of gaso
line thus wasted, the plaintiff’s
amended their petition to ask for
this amount of damages as the
difference between the cost of a
six-horse power engine originally
desired and the twelve-horse
power engine sold by the defend
ant company to the plaintiffs
upon alleged misrepresentation
and guarantee as to the amount
of gasoline it would consume.
ESCAPED CONVICT
RETURNS TO PEN.
Will Clements, a convict who
was sent up from Miller county
to serve one year in the peniten
tiary, made his escape last
Thursday, and, not feeling con
tent with his freedom thus
gained, came back to the pen
Sunday morning. From the time i
he made his escape until he vol
untarily returned nothing was
known of his whereabouts. The
officers had begun a search, but
had been unsuccessful in their
efforts to find a clue. The man
' did not give any reasons for
returning, but came back and ap
1 plied for admission.

DROUTHY CONDITIONS
HAVE INTENSIFIED.
Condition of Arkansas Crops as
Reported by Weather Bureau
For Week Ending
Monday.
The temperature was about
normal the first of the week with
fairly warm days and moderately
cool nights; during the latter
part of the week the day tem
peratures were high, while the
nights were seasonable. There
was an almost total absence of
rain and the drouthy conditions
have intensified. Cotton is shed
ding badly in all sections; in some
portions it is opening premature
ly; picking has begun and is gen
eral in some localities. Early
corn made a good crop; the late
is suffering from lack of mois
ture and will make a short crop.
Considerable hay and fodder of
good quality were saved during
the week. Sweet potatoes are
generally a good crop; the late
planted Irish potatoes are suffer
ing for moisture and in some
sections will be a failure. Very
little fall plowing has been done,
as the ground is too hard. Ap
ples and peaches are still drop
ping and only fair crops of me-1
dium quality are indicated.
FOUND FRAUD IN
ELECTION RETURNS.
Harrison, Sept. 13.—Quite a
sensation was created here when
the temperance people asked the
election commissioners to recount
the ballots on the license ques
tion. The saloon people protest
ed against it, but the commis
sioners counted the ballots of
Harrison township and found a
discrepancy of 62, which makes
this county dry by a majority of
50 instead of wet by a majority
of 12, as heretofore reported.
There is a possibility of a special
grand jury to indict the election
judges.
SON OF GOVERNOR
CRITICALLY ILL.
LRtle Rock, Ark., Sept. 13.—
Jeff, the 8-year-old son of Gov.
Jeff Davis, was operated on Fri
day morning for appendicitis,
and is in a critical condition.
The operation was performed
at St. Vincent’s Infirmary by Dr.
J. A. Dibrell, and it is said to:
have been delayed too long. The
governor was on a hunting trip
in the Territory, and telegrams
failed to reach him, so that he |
knew nothing of his son’s illness
antil he returned Sunday, since
which time he has scarcely left
his bedside.
