RECEIVED OFFER OF BIG BRIBE
Clerk of House Received Anony
mous Note Offering Him
$20,000 to Lose Amis Bill
Little Rock, Ark., May 4.—The
report of the special joint com
mittee appointed by the senate and
house to investigate the manner
in which the Moore-Heartsill anti
bucket shop bill was tampered
with, in some ways was a surprise.
In that it did not name the per
son guilty of tampering with the
bill it was no surpise, but the
language was strong. The report,
together with the large amount of
evidence and testimony connected
with the investigation, was or
dered spread upon the journal of
the house.
While the report is severe, the
testimony taken in the committee
is more startling.
A member of the committee is
an authority for the statement
that Capt. Lucas, chief clerk of
the house, swore before the com
mittee that he had been approach
ed with regard to the Amis anti
racing bill, and that he had been
offered $20,000, to allow the loss
of the bill. He also stated before
the committee that in front of the
statehouse he was approached by ,
a man who asked what the chances
were for tampering with the Amis :
bill, but that he did not discuss
the matter with him.
Asked as to whether he knew
the mah, he said he did not. Ask
ed as to whether he had ever seen
him before, Mr. Lucas is reported
as saying that he knew nothing
about the man.
A TRUE LADY
A girl who wishes to be a lady,
in the best sense of this much
abused word, will be careful of
appearance. Her

well brushed,
ty, mussy finery. Better by far
a clean linen collar than a soiled
piece of lace or ribbon about the
throat. No loose or torn skirt
braids, no buttons missing, no torn
buttonholes; waist and skirt must
make connections in the back if a
girl wants to command respect. (
She must keep her teeth and hair
well brushed and avoid what a
popular author culls “hay rick
head of hair” style of dressing.
She keeps her hands as clean as
her occupations allow. Some
kinds of work stain and roughen
the hands, but a little care will do
wonders, and it is neither “tin- ,
ieky” or affected, but proper and
womanly, to have a care fur such
things.—Exchange.

IS GOVERNOR J, S, LITTLE INSANE?
Col. Oscar /Tiles, a Life-Long
Friend, Intimates That Gov

In a newspaper interview given
out at Fort Smith a few days ago.
Col. Oscar Miles, a life-long friend
of Gov. J no. S. Little, he strongly
intimates that (iov. Little is incur

to secure any satisfactory infor
mation regarding the condition of
Gov. Little, and that a legislative
committee should visit Corpus
Christi before adjournment.
The tenor of the interview with
Col. Miles plainly indicates that
he does not believe the governor
will ever resume his duties as gov
ernor, but he declines to induluge
in any speculation as to the possi
ble successor. lie states, how
ever, that the public should be ap
prised of the present condition of
Gov. Little, and deprecates the
paucity of the information given
out by those in attendance.

The act of Arkansas legislature in

Corpus Christi, brought forth to
day the first official statement con
cerning his condition that has been
issued since he has been ill. l)r.
Hailey announced today that Gov.
Little was so much improved that
he would be able to resume his
gubernatorial duties within a few
weeks, and that he would leave
for his home in Greenwood, ac
companied by his wife, about May
15.
l)r. Hailey states that Governor
Little has paetically completely
recovered from his mental and
physical breakdown, and in every
way is capable of performing his

Than Last Year.
Little Rock, May 4.—The Bap
tists of Arkansas will make a re
port to the Southern Baptist Con

largest ever held by this organi
nation, which is one of the great
est representatives religious bodies
in the world. Arkansas will be
largely represented, although the
number of messengers cannot be
known at this time.
The records of the past year
show that there was collected in
Arkansas for foreign missions the
sum of $10,000, as compared with
$6,000 the preceding year, and for
home mission the sum of $6,363,
as compared with $3,500 for the
year ending April 30, 1906, being
an increase of almost 50. per cent.
During the past year the State

pend $35,000. The work is being
planned on a more generous scale
that ever before.
