Myers Wins Over Redding.
HarryH. Myers defeated Sid B. Red
ding in the fight for the endorsement
of the Arkansas Republican League
for the presidency of the National
League of Republican Clubs. By a
vote of 473 to 319 the convention re
fused to adopt a resolution endorsing
the candidacy of Mr. Redding, and
then, on a viva voce vote, adopted a
resolution instructing the delegates to
the National League convention to
vote for Myers for president of the
league.
The fight between Myers and Red
ding was of a peculiar nature. Red
ding is first vice president of the Na
tional League, and until about four
months ago it was expected tjiat he
would have the support of his state
in his candidacy for Jhe national pres
idency. In February, however, Myers
announced his candidacy for national
president, and the entire forces of the
state organization w'ere brought to
bear in his support.
An Attempt to Blackmail.
A few days ago W. E. Davis, a
wealthy man of Stone county, received
an anonymous letter demanding that
he deposit $1,000 in a certain hollow
tree at a certain time, and if the re
quest was not complied with his life
would be taken and that his property
would be destroyed by fire. Davis an
swered the letter, saying that the de
mands would be complied with, but in
stead of sending the money he and
his brother went to the place, con
cealed themselves near by and waited
for the appearance of the party. At
the proper time a man by the name of
Webb, a newcomer, appeared and pro
ceeded to extract the coveted prize
from the tree, when the Messrs. Davis
arrested him and turned him over to
the officers. • ; 1

The business men of Newport- are
enthusiastically in favor of the estab
lishment of the free delivery of mails
in that city. At a meeting of business
men, Inspector J. S. Spofford of St.
Louis was present and was favorably
impressed with the claims presented
by the citizens for the system. For
more than a year the receipts of the
Newport postoffice have exceeded $10,
000 annually, which entitles the city
to free delivery, provided the houses
and streets are numbered and good
walks are laid. Inspector Spofford ad
dressed the meeting, giving the above
information, and a further requirement
that carries work not less than eight
hours. Owing to the compactness of
Newport he thought this might be
difficult, but his talk in the main was
encouraging.

Max Strauss has arranged one of the
most novel exhibits ever shown in
Tort Smith. He has secured a num
ber of silk worms, and they are at
work in his show window spinning
cocoons. Silk was used in China
2,700 years B. C. The silk worm is
hatched from eggs in the spring and
feeds upon mulberry or osage orange
leaves, and spins about forty days. It
spins its cocoon, which takes from
three to five days and becomes a
pupa; in about fifteen days the moth
is developed, and emerges from its
cocoon, deposits its egg and dies.
Change to be Made.

to Houston four years ago to assume
charge of that office.

Agent Charles F. Trotter of ths
Postoffice Department recently spent
two days in Hope meeting property
owners and receiving bids and pro
positions regarding the future loca

leaving that he would recommend the
acceptance of the Betts & LaGrone
offer of the new concrete building
now being erected by them on Elm
street, between Second and Third.
The size of the building is 24x120
feet, and contains 2,880 square feet

the-clubs will operate under a reason

made a success. Independent ball
will hardly pay, but with a compact

Dormitory Board Too High.
There has been some complaint of
late among the dormitory students
at the Arkansas University at Fay
etteville, over the high price of board.
The assessment of„-fhe past month
amounted to :’$13.£j> fpr. each boarder,
with an additional ajisessaienL, for
shortage in January, February ~ and
March, which brought the' "Huiiole
amount up to $17.33. The cost dur
ing the past year has been from $12
to $13 or more per month. The trou
ble seems to have occurred from the
students getting an idea they should
receive board at t.he dormitory for
about $10 per month. The dormi
tory is conducted on the assessment
plan under senior student manage
ment and the board is furnished at
actual cost, as no one is allowed a
profit.
Josh Elkins Drowned.
Josh Elkins a citizen of Prescott,
was recently drowned in the Little

Washington—Representative Suizer,
of New York, has introduced a resolu
tion calling on the president, "if not
incompatible with the public interest.’’
to send to the house at his earliest
convenience the reports of Charles P.
Neill and James B. Reynolds, “in con
nection with their investigation of the
Meat trust,” stock yards and the meat
packing industry.”
The Meat trust scandal, as it is now
called, is creating no end of sensation
ar.d comment. The president, it is said,
has told confidential friends that much
of the report is unprintable; that it
would shock the nation.
Telegrams ar.d letters are being re
ceived by senators and representatives
to urge on the president to make the
entire report public. The opinion is
expressed that it would not be a bad
idea that constituents flcSd their repre
sentatives and senators with these re
quests. by mail and telegraph, and then
the president would understand that the
people were willing to know just what
they have been eating.

Mrs. Bicor explained, while her hus

Sinclair asked us to go to Chicago to
represent him. He had been asked to
go himself by the president, who wished
to see that the commissioners had ev

“Mr. Bicor and myself had rhad Mr.

Preserving; Pork Kit>s.
“The very Srst day, through a let
ter from Mr. Sinclair, I obtained from
a relative of a man up in one of the
packing houses some formulas for sen
ovating putrid meats and preserving
dubious meat. These formulas were
all turned over to the commissioners.
Here "is the recipe for preserving pork
ribs for export:
“One hundred gallons of water; 30
pounds of salt; 15 pourds of saltp*rer;
20 pounds of t«;ax; 20 pounds of bo

Frdm this man I also learned that when
most spoiled meat is received in the
summer it is at once taken to the
‘morgue’ in wlfat is known as ‘No. 13'
house. Then it goes to the sausage
room, then to the cellar of No. 32 house.
There it is renovated and the stench
removed, when it passes on to its ul

“Pickled trimmings, as we showed
the commissioners by witnesses, are

witness told us, 15 pounds of salt were
used, two pounds of sugar, four pounds
of borax, one pound of bcracic acid

lose his life was a boy, nine years old,,
who stumbled into cne of the rendering

Mr. Bloor said: “I heard of the case

got pretty communicative, he told me
he would take me to the man Who was
working beside the unfortunate fellow,
and who helped fish out what was left

He said that, when chickens came in
large quantities many of them would
be dead and spoiled. When they were
so far decomposed that they could
not be handled without dropping
apart, they were taken to the refrig

they were deodorized and turned out

“I wrote out the testimony of a very
intelligent man, taken before a wit

the commission, and presented it my
self. He had worked for 17 years on
the killing floor and said that he had
often 'killed dead cattle.’ This was in
one of the trust houses, and accord

cattle were usually cut up every day.

they were hard to handle. He is what
