J, i What was an apparent victory
* for Mr. Pindali has been turned
, into success for Mr. Kirby, and
I bone of the closest political con
I tests on record in the state ter
I minates:
The 12 convention votes of
-Washington county turned the
tide in favor of Mr. Kirby.
When the official canvass of the
votes cast in the democratic pri
mary in that county on March 28
was made yesterday the an
nouncement was made that
Kirby had carried the county by
a margin of 90 over Pindali.
‘Thus all calculations were upset.
Unofficially it had been reported
that Pindali carried the county
by 28, but the result as ascer
tained yesterday proved the in
correctness of the report and
simultaneously made Kirby the
winner in the state, for without
Washington county Pindall could
not have won, as Saline and
Woodruff counties also had gone
againt him.
The number of delegates in
the state convention will be 517,
4 and in order to win there must
be 257 for a candidate. Accord
ing to the present available fig
"» ures Kirby has 259, Pindall 244
and Gautney 6.
Mr. pindall’s graceful con
cession.
Mr. Pindall, who was in the
city last night, conceded that Mr.
Kirby had won when the result
in Washington county was made
■known. The distinguished rep
resentative of Desha county in
the last to legislatures and re
il cent candidate for attorney gen
eral exhibited no soreness over
the result, notwithstanding that
he and his friends have been
hopeful of victory ever since the
primary on March 28, and sent
*the following telegram to his suc
cessful opponent:
Little Rock, Ark., April 7, 190G.
Hon. W. F. Kirby, Texarkana,
Arkansas:
Have just heard that I have
lost Washington county to you.
This means your victory. Ac
cept my hearty congratulations,
and sincere assurances expres
sive of confidence in you.
(Signed) X. 0. Pindall. ."
New Administration.
The new administration comes
into being tonight, when the offi
cials elect are to be sworn in.
The mayor W. R. Thompson,
Treasurer „W. B. Hurley and one
alderman, S. R. Phillips, succeed
themselves. As neither Messrs.
Thompson nor Phillips has served
long in the office named, the in
coming administration is a new
one indeed.
But all are good business men
and capable, enjoying the confi
dence of the people. As repre*
sentatives of the city, they will
look after the interests of
their constituency faithfully and
zealously, especially in relation
to the important problems of the
next two year^.
Robert Harder will succeed J.
R. Mayhan.as recorder and W.
' H. Carouthers will be marshal,,
succeeding T. S..Stephens.

In the w^k.of. .pushing New*

FOWLER Wllf GET ANSWER.
Open Letter to President lias Been
Answered by Chief Executive
Which Will Probably Si
lence Fowler.
Washington. D, C., April 8 —
President Roosevelt has been ap
prised of the full contents
of Marshal Fowler’s letter
on the subject of the
Marshalship for the Eastern
district of Arkansas. While the
White House greeted ?<1 inquiries
concerning the incident with the
same answer, namely, that there
was nothing to be said, it may be
stated upon good authority that
there is now on the way to Little
Rock a letter from the presi
dent in answer to Marshal Fow
ler’s epistle. The president has
often seen fit to make letters of
this kind public, but in this in
stance, for some reason or other,
another rule has been employed.
It is impossible to get an idea
as to the nature of the president’s
reply. _

For the third time John V.
Roberts,, of Searcy, will be
placed on trial' in the circuit
court of Marianna April 18 in the
cases growing out of the noted
Lightle insurance grave roboery
charge of two years ago.
, Roberts has already been tried
twice on these charges. In the
first trial the'jury could not
agree and was discharged.
' In the next trial there was a
verdict of acquital on the charge
1 of desecrating the grave. The
charges remaining against Rob
erts are those of arson and ob
taining money under false pre
tenses.
The insurance companies con
cerned in the cases have decided
to participate no further in the
prosecution of Roberts. In the
two previous trials the compa
nies employed counsel to' assist
Prosecuting Attorney Andrews.

There is more Catarrh in this
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 disease 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

Messages of a fire to your property
cause worry.
More especially is this true when
the insurance is small—or there, is
none at all.
But you should suffer if you
would assume a risk without insur
ance.
A small payment in our companies
will make somebody else stand the
loss in case of fire.
Then there'd be no need of \Vorry
on your part.
