Holy Rollers In Baxter.
It is reported that an attack
of the religious fever known as
“Holy Rollerism” has struck the
Colfax neighborhood in Baxter
county and that at the meeting
Saturday night there were sev
eral persons violently excited.
One poor deluded mortal an
nounced that God had told him
that the world was coming to an
end that night and ordered him
to go out and turn his horse
loose, probably so that the ani
mal w'ould have some show for
its life. The man followed di-,
rections. Another said he had i
received something like the
same word from on high, but
having no horse tied he was di
rected instead to throw his coat
out the window, and out it went.
A young lady is also said to have
had an attack. A good many
people are attending the meet- j
ings out of morbid curiosity, j
However, a cog has slipped
somewhere, for the old world
continues to wag along and will
continue to do so long after all
religious fanatics have ceased to
jxist.—Cotter Record.

REPUBLICANS CALL
STATE CONVENTION
To Nominate Candidate For
Governor—Enthusiasm Pre
vails Though Pie Is Gone.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock. June 17.—There
was something of the old time
enthusiasm in the meeting of
the Republican State Central
Committee, held Tuesday after
noon at the Chamber of Com
merce, notwithstanding they
had no federal patronage to dis
pense.
The attendance was. large and
representative. there being
eighty-five present in person out
of a possible ninety-eight. It
was decided to hold a state con
vention in Little Rock on Tues
day, July 1, for the purpose of
promulgating a state platform
and nominating a candidate for
governor. Mass conventions for
the selection of delegates to the
state convention will be held in
the various counties on Satur
day, June 28. at 1:30 p. m. ex
cept in White, Perry and Mon
roe. which will be held or* .Tun**
27.
“Because of the shortness of
the time elapsing between the
call and the date set for the
county and state conventions”
says the resolutions adopted,
“rules heretofore held to be in
force by the Republican State
Committee as to holding conven
tions are hereby suspended and
the usual rules of parliamentary
practic will prevail.”
The call is signed by H. L.
Remmel, chairman, and U. S.
Bratton, secretary.
H. L. Remmel was elected na
tional committeeman to succeed
General Powell Clayton, who re
signed last spring after serving
in that capacity for many years.
W. L. Ply male was elected a
member of the state committee
from Johnson county to fill a va
cancy.
Enthusiastic speeches were
made by A. N. VanHooser of
Benton county, J. A. Livesay of
Little River county, R. C. Vance
of Saline. H. H. Myers of Hot
Springs, R. L. Floyd and H. L.
Remmel of Little Rock.
It was the general view of
those present that the G. O. P.
has nothing to fear from the de
• ection ol the Progressives or
Bull Moose, and that in a few
years the party will again be
united.
It is pretty generally agreed
that Harry H. Myers will be the
nominee of the party for gover
nor to oppose the Democratic
nominee. He has already been
on two different occasions the
vicarious sacrifice on the guber
natorial altar, but his successive
defeats have rather endeared
him to the party than otherwise,
and he is willing again to permit
his name to be used as the. nomi
nee.
It is expected that the Pro
gressives will at their state con
vention to be held in a few days
nominate the former Democrat
ic Attorney-General, Col. George
W. Murphy, and the month of
July will witness the unusual
spectacle of three candidates
running for governor in the
heat of the season, the election
to be held on July 23.

There are times in our livves
when we fail to find words suffi
ciently glowing and graphic to
give expression to our thoughts
much as we may desire to do so;
yet our hearts swell with grati
tude to the good citizens of New
port for their words of sympa
thy, kindly ministrations and
continuous offers of kindness to
do anything in their power to
help us in our sad bereavement.
Mr. Spears, the rector of St.
Paul’s Episcopal church, whom
the deceased was a member and
secured religious consolation
|Through his prayers, mingled
1 with her petitions to the Heav
enly Father, who says “Ask
and ye shall receive”, the choir,
who rendered beautiful songs,
like echos from the other shore
—songs she loved in life and
which appealed to our aching
hearts, the pall bearers, who so
tenderly and reverentially bore
all that was mortal to the grave
of her we loved, and whose mem
ory we will cherish.
She was an affectionate moth
er. a loving sister and a faith
ful friend.
i ne beautilul floral offerings
from, numerous friends in New
port and state of Arkansas and
Missouri, were silent messengers
of true friendship and respect
to her who suffered in life, but
triumphed in death.
“O death, where is thy sting?
Oh grave, where is thy vic
tory ?”
Again we thank each and ev
eryone who did the least acts of
kindness.
Sincerely,

Appeals For Poker Players.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, June 18.—Sena
tor Elmer Lundy of Mena arriv
ed in Little Rock Tuesday night
to press the petition for a par
don to Ed Lyman and Henry
Ridling, the men convicted in
Polk county and sentenced to
the penitentiary for perjury,
having kept faith in a “gentle
men's agreement,” not to di
vulge any particulars of a game
of poker in which they partici
pated.
This case has been before Gov.
J. M. Futrall ever since the men
admitted they had sworn falsely
in denying they had participated
in the game, and twice Senator
Lundy has presented the case to
Gov. Futrall in person. Minis
ters of Mena have joined in the
petition that the men be par
doned, but the court officials
have never recommended a par
don, and this causes Gov. Futrall
to hesitate. The men have been
on the State Farm for about two
months.
