OVERWHELMING
EVIEENGE
^ iiore are four piano manufacturers in nhe United States
Sp and °»ly four, who have made 100,000 pianos each. The
houses which are now proudly celebrating this achievement
aie t lie C bickering, the Fischer, the Stein way and tiie K initial I.
p, h "'ll no doubt be of interest to know the length of
tZ 'one it has taken each of these distinguished companies to
pioduce 100,0(X> pianos, which is as follows :
,§£ The Chickering, 80 Years
The Fischer, 63 Years
g The Stein way, 50 Years
^ The Kimball, 20 Years
Of these companies the Kimball is the only organ mnnu
. SE7 facturer, and in addition to the pianos has also made more
y~ 'ban 2o0,000 reed organs and 4,400 large pipe organs.
In*twenty years time, therefore, the Kimball Company
ha» far outstripped all otlier makers in output in this or any
XZ other country.
1 l''s wonderful achievement, when coupled with the
jp artistic merit of the Kimball, as attested by so large a Hunt
s' l|(‘r °f great artists and musicians of Europe and Ameiica,
completes a record of facts which is indisputable, and makes
plain the verdict.

Arkansas State News
Came and Fish Laws Summarised.
A member of tho last general as
sembly summarizes the tish and
game laws of the state as follows:
1. Quails may be hunted from
the 1st day of November to the
loth day of February.
2. Deer from the 1st day of Sep
tember until the 1st day of Febru
ary.
3. Turkey from the 1st day of
September until the 1st day of May.
4. It is unlawful to sell or bar
ter any buek, doe, fawn, wild tur
key, pinnated grouse, or quail, or
any other wild fowl or bird whatso
ever. The only game that can be
sold is bear, rabbits and squirrels.
5. It is unlawful to export, sliip,
remove or carry from this state any
game of any kind whatsoever.
G. The law in regard to catching
fish remains unchanged.
7. It is unlawful, however, to
ship, export or carry any game fish
out of this state.
TRYING ON SHOES.
Which Foot to Fit First s Problem
lor the Clerk.
‘ Th<* question of which foot to
III first is.an imjiortant one to us,”
said the shoe salesman, as lte
tugged tn (jet a small pair of Ox-s
focds on a large foot, according to^
the New Orleans TimesDetno
crat. ‘ It inav seem strange to.
you, hut it is rarely that we do
not experience some trouble in
tilting one foot while the other is
easily covered. A popular belief
obtains that the left foot of every
Inm'soii is the hardest to fit, and
consequently, many shoe clerks al
ways try a shoe on that foot first.
It is not true, however, according
to my observation, that there is
any indexible rule as to which
foot to try first. It is true, never
theless, that in a majority of
eases if you sueeeed in fitting the
left foot you will have no trouble
with the right. My practice is to
try both feet before 1 pronounce
a pair of shoes a perfect tit. Then
1 am sure of avoiding any mistake
growing out ' peculiarities of
foot formatithe iVi<.two people
have feet fo -of .. ly alike,
and the sin Von. * ,>ne tv>hinks j
so and is f j * ° v•oftiuC'ly,
will meet up WTnlil*”Fpy COIC
plaints. For some time I pon-<
tiered over the problem of fitting
shoes to feet, and especially as
to why the left foot should be
considered the standard by which
to be governed. The only ration
al theory I have ever been able to
evolve is a very simple one when
you come to consider it. Nine
out of ten people you meet are
right-handed, as we say. About
one person in ten, or perhaps the
|K-r cent, is even less than that,
uses his left hand. If yon will
observe a person who uses the
right hand when he or she is
standing and talking, they invari
ably rest their weight on the left
foot. And vice versa, a lefMiand
ed person will rest his or bet
weight on the right foot. The re
! suit is that with right-handed peo-'
ple the left foot is probably a
fraction larger than the right
foot, and tho shoe clerk must in
evitably find this to be a fact
sooner or later. That, in my opin
ion, is the explanation of the
common belief that the left foot
is the standard to'go by in the fit
ting of shoes. Hut as 1 have al
ready said, there is no rule that
is absolutely safe to follow, and
uiy plan is always to tit both feet
before I let a customer leave the
house.”

What Aaiiricins Will Be Like ir
the Year 2000 A. D.
What will the Anierican-peopje
he like in -l»)(t rears?
This question has been an
swered bv Gustave Michaud, a
brilliant Frenchman, who has
made a special investigation of
the subject, says the New York
World.
The American of the future, de
Hares M. Michaud, will differfrom
the present day Americadnin a
great many respects.fle.will-be—
Darker.
Shorter.
Less enterprising.
More artistic.
More domestic.
Less inventive.
Round headed.
More polite.
A better husbahd.
A worse citizen.
In an article contributed to the
Century M. Michaud undertakes to
prove that the American people
are being changed in the above
respects by the continual flood of
immigration.
Fifty years ago, he says, 87 out
of every 100 immigrants came
from tin* northwestern countries
of Europe—from-England, Ire
land, Germany, Norway and Swe
den.
To-day only 35 out Of every 100
conn* from these countries, while
the other 05come from Italy, Rus
sia. Hungary and Greece.
Last year, for instance, the
number of Italians landed at the
port of New York was 130,455,
while the number of birtha in the
Italian quarter .of the city was
11,000, or noarW^dufty-seventh of

Commenting on the Rook Island
Frisco control of the Seaboard Air
Lino, Mr. A. It. Bragg of the Little
Rock Merchants’ freight bureau,
says: “This consolidation will be
very beneficial to the cotton export
ers of Arkansas, as it gives the
Rpck Island-Friso© system a con
tinuous line from Little Rock and
oth( r junction points in Arkansas to
Savannah, (ia., and Portsmouth.
Va., both recognized seaports, where
connection is made With ocean
carrying steamers to all foreign
ports.
“This, together with the fact that
the Missouri Pacific will soon have
its Memphis-New Orleans line com
pleted down the west bank of the
Mississippi, should result in giving
the exporters of Arkansas not only
a cheaper, but a more prompt ser
vice, as shippers will have the pref
erence of three routes—the Rock
Island system to Savannah or
Portsmouth, the Misosuri Pacific to
New Orleans, and the St. Louis and
Southwestern (Cotton Belt) to Gal
veston.
Sponsors and Maids of Honor.
The fallowing appointments have
been announced by Brig. Gen. M.
M. Stuckey, Jr., of Newport, com
manding the first division of the
i Arkansas state guard: Sponsor,
Miss Ethel Beloate of Jonesboro;
maids of honor, Miss Rosina Locke
i of Eureka Springs and Miss Lucy
' 1*. Roads of Osceola; chaperone,
Mrs. George A. Hillhouse of New
! port.
The war department has advised
Maj. Gen. Haynes that 80,000
rounds of ammunition will be ship
ped to Hot Springs for use in the
state encampment. The ladies of
honor representing the state guard
at large will be as follows; Kpon
! sor in chief, Miss Joane Bertig of
Paragould; maids of honor, Miss
Dillie Xavra of Little Rock and
Miss Gertie Mvar of Camden; chap
eron, Mrs. Charles T. AUelea of
Little Rock.
Has a Peculiar Record.
Sheriff Kitchens of Phillips coun
ty recently placed in the peniten
tiary a negro who has somewhat of
a peculiar record in that institution.
The prisoner is Sam Glenn, who was
convicted nearly ten years ago in
Woodruff county of grand larceny
and sentenced to a year in the pen
itentiary. lie served only four
months and six days, when he es
caped from the camp at Keo. 11c
made his way into Phillips county,
where he went back to his old tricks
and was convicted under the name
of Charles Kinchens and sentenced
to a term of five years in the peni
tentiary, which lie served. The pen
itentiary management having
changed after his escape, he was
not recognized as an escape, and at
the expiration of his sentence was
released. He returned to Phillips
county and before long was on the
county farm, where his identity be
came known.
No Hunters’ Rates.
At a meeting of passenger traf
fic officials of the southwestern lines
held in St. Louis it was decided that
it would be inadvisable to make
hunters’ rates to points in Arkan
sas. This action is the result of
what is known as the Do Itossiii
game law, which prohibits non
residents from hunting or fishing
in this state.
Awarded Big Damages.
The family of William Hitt was
awarded a verdict of $10,000
against the Iron Mountain railroad
by a jury at Arkadclphia. The case
was tried in Clark county on a
change of venue from Nevada coun
ty. Hitt was killed by a train while
crossing the railroad track at Pros
cott in a covered wagon.
GoJl Yield Promised.
Within the last month cotton as
a whole has suffered from the cool
nights and lack of sunshine, but the
stalk is well fruited and with a lato
fall a good yield is promised. Banks
throughout the cotton belt are in
good condition to make advances for
handling the crop, and a higher
price than has prevailed for almost
a decade is assured.
Fats'. Mill Accident
Chas. Foster, an employe at a
saw mill near Newport, met a hor
rible death while at work. In set
ting a saw he lost his balance and
fell forward on the fust revolving
saw and his body was terribly man
gled. _
BRIEF MENTION.
The Bank of El Dorado has been
closed. The failure of the hank is
due to the Alphin-Lake failure of
several months ago.
The safe in the postoffice at Lin
coln, a small town west of Prairie
Grove, was blown open by burglars,
who secured only a small sum in
cash.
P. A. Douglass, machinist for the
De Witt Ginning and Milling Com
pany, fell against the large ■circular
saw of the milling company, while
it was in rapid motion, and was cut
across the hack and shoulders in a
frightful manner.
P. A. Douglass, cashier of the
Bank of Danville, which was recent
ly placed in the hands of a receiver,
and who mysteriously disappeared,
is still missing.
A warrant has been issued for the
of Dallas Hunter charging
Will Employ a Field Secretary.
At a recent meeting of the execu
tive committee of the State Sunday
School Association the chairman
was authorized to employ a field
secretary. The object of the asso
ciation is to elevate the standard of
Sunday schools and strengthening
state by arousing a deeper, interest
in Bible study, by aiding Sunday
school teachers in their efforts to
improve their teaching, by holding
conferences for the help of Sunday
school officers, by organizing new
Sunday schools and strtngthening
weak ones, and by directing mis
sionary effort in behalf of all per
sons who are destitute of Bible in
structions. There is in conjunc
tion with the association a state pri
mary and junior council the object
of which is the advancement of pri
mary and junior Sunday school
work in all its phases iu the state
of Arkansas.
Appropriation Sufficient.
Secretary John Page of the boar 1
of trustees of the state charitable
institutions, says the appropriation
of $140,000 for the annex to the
state lunatic asylum will be ade
quate to complete the buildings
ready for occupancy. The cost of
erecting the annexes under the ex
isting contract will be $120,000.
This will leave $7,000 for furnish
ings, and Secretary Page regards
that amount as ample for the pur
pose. It is declared, therefore, bv
I Mr. Page that there will be no need
for an additional appropriation in
order to equip and furnish the an
nexes. lie says there is also avail
able the sum of $5o,000 for the sup
port and maintenance of the asylum
addition, hence when the contractor
turns over the new buildings the
state can go ahead and fit them up
for immediate use. The annexes
will afford room for 350 persons.
At present there are 650 in the asy
lum.
Postal Changes.
The postal department announces
the following changes in Arkansas:
Needham is a new postottice estab
lished in Craighead county, six
miles east of Nettleton; Hatton H.
Hamilton, postmaster. The site of
Howe, Howard county, has been
moved one mile north, and Mary
E. Edgerton appointed postmistress,
i From September 2 the star route j
service from Eureka Springs to
Munde will be increased to six
times a week, daily except Sunday.
Railroad Charter Granted.
' The state board of railroad in
corporation has granted a charter
to the Fine Biuff and Western rail
road, which is to run from Fine
! Bluff in Jefferson county to Benton
in Saline county, and which inci
dentally is to purchase and incor
porate into its line the present line
now maintained and operated by
the Fine Bluff and Western railroad
from Fine Bluff to Sheridan, Grant
county.
Convict Guard Shot.
Lester Horton, a guard over •«
crew of convicts employed in laying
steel on the Fort Smith road, was
accidentally shot and fatally wound
ed. Horton was handed a revolver
by Warden Ivinslow, which slipped
from his hand and struck a rock
and was discharged. The ball
struck Horton near the left nipple
and came out. below the point of
the shoulder, passing through the
left lung and just above the heart.
A t
l otton snippers, as a rule, pre
fer the South Atlantic and guli
ports for the exportation of cotton
for the reason that they obtain
prompt sailing. Then, too, cotton
shipped by these ports reaches des
tination much more quickly than
when sent north via Boston or New
York. The steamship service from
Baltimore, Savannah, Brunswick,
Charleston, New Orleans, l’ensaco
la and Galveston has greatly im
proved during the past five years,
with the result that it has caused se
rious alarm to the trunk lines and
their connections from the Missis
sippi and Ohio river crossings, a?
well as the steamship lines from
New York, Boston and other Atlan
tic ports.”
Will Protect Themselves.
Railroad employes of Little Rod:
have got together and employed
counsel to protect them from what
they i laim is a system of extortion
practiced by certain collecting agen
cies. It is claimed men employed
on railroads in this state have gone
to the pay car on numerous occa
sions to draw their salaries to find
that their check was tied up by a
garnishment issued on a judgment
secured in another state for a debt
contracted in this state. It is also
claimed that any number of such
garnishments have been run for
debts that had been satisfied, the
debtor not only holding receipts for
the full amount, but several dollars
in excess as a fee to some justice or
collector. The laws of Arkansas
afford protection against unscrupu
lous collectors, which is alleged as
the reason they go outside the state
to procure a judgment, in which
case the defendant is left in ignor
ance of such suit until he finds a
big bill of cost agikinst him and his
wages held up by garnishee.
Assaulted By Moonshiners.
E. H. Fisher, a prominent mer
chant at Crystal Springs, about
twenty miles west of Hot Springs,
was waylaid on a public road and
murderously assaulted by some un
known parties. He was found in a
demented condition, with a fractur
ed skull, broken collarbone and an
ugly cut clear across his
face. It. is believed the assault
was made by moonshiners, as Fish
er had been active in breaking up
illicit distilling in his neighbor
hood.
Jail Delivery.
Six negro prisoners made their
escape from the Jonesboro jail by
means of files and saws manufac
tured from the steel springs taken
from the prisoner's shoes. Those
who escaped were: Arch Scott, un
der sentence of death for killing his
mother-in-law in Mississippi county,
and whose case is pending in the
supreme court; Henry Smith, as
sault, and Win. Fox, Wm. Stout and
Dink Taylor, burglary.
Planter* Oppose the Loop.
In the county court of Mississippi
county Judge L. D. llozell granted
the petition for an injunction
against the St. Francis levee board,
applied for by a number of planters
and citizens of Pecan Point, who
are opposed to the construction of
the proposed loop of new leve.)
around and in back of Golden laikr
and the abandonment of the old
line.
