60VERN0R ON ANOTHER TRIP
Will Accompany Dr. Buttrick on
Northern Tour.
Special Investigation to be Made of Agri
cultural Collegia in States of
Wisconsin and Michigan.
Governor Elect George W. Don
jaghey will leave tonight, in com
pany with Dr. Wallace Buttrick,
secretary of the General Educa
tion Board, on another long trip
for the purpose of better fitting
himself for the office of chief ex
ecutive which he will assume next
January. He and Dr. Buttrick
are at Fayetteville today visiting
the state university. President
John N. l illman will accompany
them on the trip and they will also
be joined in St. Louis by Superin
tendent Geo. 13. Cook.
The party will visit the Univer
sity ol Chicago and the Illinois
agricultural schools and will make
a special investigation of the agri
cultural institutions in Wisconsin
and Minnesota which are said to
be the finest in the nation. It is ^
one of Mr. 'Jonaghey's pet theo
ries, as well as the belief of those
interested in the larger educational
movements, such as those repre- i
sented by Dr. Bettrick and Dr.
Wycliffe Rose of the Peabody
board, that the best results in edu
cation and in national welfare can
be accomplished by providing
means for a more intelligent and
scientific agriculture.
A dinner was served to Dr.
Buttrick. at Little Pock Saturday
night and was attended by the1
leading educators of the state.
Dr. Buttrick expressed himself
as being highly pleased with the
progress Arkansas is making along
educational lines, and was espec
ially pleased with the work being
done dy Hendrix College.
ALMOST FROST
THIS MORNING
Bringing the temperature almost
to the frost point and making fires
and overcoats comfortable, the
first cold wave of the season swept
over the state yesteiday, striking
Conway about noon. At that
hour the thermometer was around
the seventies, and it fell over twen
ty degrees before night, the mer
cury continuing to descend until
early this morning when a temper
ature of 43 was recoided. This is
dangerously near the frost point,
as frost is often formed here at 40
degiees. The cold wave was at
tended by a heavy tainfall Sunday
afternoon, amounting to 1 60 inch
es. Fair and warmer weather is
predicted for tonight and tomor
row.
PUBLIC SCHOOL
SESSION OPENS
With approximately 500 pupils
present ior enrollment, the Cm J
way public schoo1 began its ses
sion this morning. A large num
ber of parents and visitors were
present, and if the lager interest
manifested in the institution by the
people means anything the coming
session will be the best ever held.
The opening exercises this morn
ing were simple and businesslike,
no time being lost in getting down
to actual work. After a song and
scripture reading, prayer was led
by John Jeter Hurt. This wasfol
lowed by short talks from Rev. J
H. Glass, Pres. W. W. Rivers,
Rev. J. B. Stevenson, Pres. S
Anderson and 1). O. Harton.
Supt. S. S. Waters made his an
nouncements at the conclusion of
these addresses.
Fear had been expressed by some
that the erection of the new build
ing would conflict with the work
of the school, but Supt. \\ aters
announced right at the beginning
the lines beyond which the pupils
would not be allowed to go, and
at his suggestion every little hand
in the school was raised in a
pledge that this rule would be ob
served, and he said he anticipated
no trouble along this line.
The colored school also opened
this morning with a good enroll
ment.
The teachers for the session are
as follows:
F'irst grade, Miss Florence Ham
ilton; second grade, Miss Mary
Hamilton; third grade, Miss Alma
McCulloch-.fourth grade, Mrs. Mary
Austin; fifth grade, Miss Maggie
Denison; sixth grade, Miss Fannie
Vaughter; seventh grade, W. N.
Jones; eighth grade, Miss Minnie
Flippen; high school, Miss Nettie
Murphy. Colored school, E. T.
Matttson and Inez Mattison. Sup
erintendent, S. S. Waters.
Methodist Church Services.
A large crowd was present at the
“Methodist church yesterday morn
ing to hear the opening sermon for
Hendrix College by Rev. Forney
Hutchinson of Little Rock. It
was one of the finest sermons ever
heard in this city, and he had the
attention of the audience through
out the entire discourse. Special
rausicwas a feature of the occasion.
Rev. Hutchinson also preached
last night, but the crowd was not
so good on account of the bad |
weather.

Little Rock, Sept. 28. — Roth
branches of the circuit court
I opened this morning and the First
| division, where all criminal mat
j ters are tried, starts off with a rush.
Judge R J Lea just before noon
: charged the grand jury, which
will not have any boodle cases to
look after, but will pass upon two
I of the biggest murder cases ever
coming in one term of court here.
These are the cases of Charles R.
Parse!, who shot and killed Leon
S. Khrenberg, his former business
partner several weeks ago, and W.
L Greer, who last week stabbed
to death J. W. Reneau, an Iron
Mountain brakemau. Judge Lea
will this afternoon take up the
habeas corpus proceedings by
which Lewis Rhoten, attorney for
Greer, hopes to get him admitted
to bail. On account of the prom
inence of Parsel and Khrenberg,
this case will be contested on ev
ery point. Greer, who was a col
lector of bad debts, and killed
Reneau over an old account, has
the backing of the majority of the
Little Rock business men, and if
Judge Lea decides to allow him
bond, he will have no trouble in
making it, no matter how great
the amount. With Senator Davis
assisting in the prosecution of
Greer, and Lewis Rhoton defend
ing him, lively times in the court
are promised.
This afternoon the commission
ers of the West Third paving dis
trict are opening the bids for the
paving of this thoroughfare. There
will be over a mile of the paving,
and it will require an expenditure
of about $75,coo to do the work.
There are a number of bidders
from other cities who are here at
tending the opening of the bids.
The street is to be paved with
brick, which will probably be sup
plied by a home plant. As a por
tion of the district, Victory street,
leading in front of the Union de
pot, and North street to the street
car barns, will also be paved.
Next Saturday the penitentiary
officials will be free from Yates
Standridge, the murderer who has
been in solitary confinement at the
penitentiary for month, for safe
keeping. Standridge will then be
taken to Jasper for trial for a dou
ble murder, but attorneys in the
case assure the penitentiary offic
ials that they will soon have the
desperate criminal back on their
hands, as he will not be hanged
for the crimes he has committed,
a compromise in the way of guilty
to murder in the second degree and
15 years in the penitentiary as a
sentence, being expected. Stand
1 idge is the most desperate man
ever in the penitentiary walls. He
was originally sent to the peni
tentiary for assault with intent to
kill, but escaped from the rock
crusher, made his way back to
Newton county and killed a man
and woman by the name of Over
turf, before being recaptured. He
has since been in solitary confine
ment in the penitentiary, but
twice came near digging out of his
cell. He had a brick in a sack to
use in fighting his way to liberty,
had he gained the corridor of the
old penitentiary building. Stand
ridge, soon after his arrest for the
double murder, attempted suicide
by trying to shove into his neck
the razor with which a convict win
shaving him.
All devices and schemes resorted
to by the police of Little Rock to
keep tab on those who should pay
license to the city, fail nine months
of the year and the city is beaten
out of much revenue, but on circus
day the police always recover con
siderable of the lost ground. This
brings out the many carriages up
on which no license has been paid,
and Saturday was no exception to
the rule, three cab drivers being
hauled to the city jail to pay fines
this morning, while eight people
who were running restaurants
without license, were caught at
the same time, and paid $4 each
in the police court this morning.
James A. l’itcock, superintend
ent of the Arkansas penitentiary,
left this morning for the state farm,
to see how thej cotton picking is
getting on there. He did not take
any convicts with him, saving
those now in the w’alls until more
are brought in. Superintendent
Pitcock will ask the next legisla
ture lor some better means of iden
tification than are now used at the
penitentiary. He will ask for an
appropriation for the installation
of a Bertillion system, with a pho
tograpli rutfit in connection. The
Arkansas penitentiary is about the
only one in the United States
which is now without such mod
ern methods cf identification.

WHAT MAKES IT SO?
An apt illustration, de
scribed in a word picture,
by a Bankiug-by-mail ad
vertisement describes the
situation aud difference
when you don’t progress
aud keep in the front
rauks of commercialism:
Time was when men lived
and died in their narrow
valleys and had no com
merce beyond their native
village. Others were waft
ed in their fairy barks by
inconstant winds over
treacherous seas that do
but connect the lands
they divide.
Today great ships,
floating cities, plow the
waves to every port, bear
ing swift mails. Conti
nents are bound by bands
of steel, aud trains fly
with the mails from sea
to sea. State lines dis
appear. The world is
one country and all men
are brothers.
bo to keep in the march
of civilization we strive
to be in front, surround
ing ourselves with the
safest, best and most
modern methods known
with which to do a safe,
sound and profitable bus
iness.
Our customers, so long
entrusting their business
to us deserve this, and
we wish to state now, as
heretofore, our aim is—
first, absolute protection
for our customers whose
business we ask, then we
know our success is sure.

Clint Taylor Arrested at Mayflower Satur
urday by Constable Thompson.
Charged with illegal cohabitation
and with giving liquor to minors,
Clint Taylor was arrested at May
flower by Constable Thompson
Saturday and brought to this city
to be placed in jail Saturday night.
The officers have been on the look
out for Taylor ever since the in
dictment against him was issued,
but up to Saturday he had eluded
them.
Taylor and Mrs. Laura Bates
were indicted by the grand jury at
the last July term for the crime of
illegal cohabitation. Mrs. Bates
has already been arrested and
placed under bond. The same
grand jury also indicted Taylor for
giving liquor to a minor.
Mrs. Bates was the wife of
Charles Carnahan, who was killed
by A. B. Winters about two years
ago. She was married shortly
afterwards to Walter Bates, a boy
several years her junior, and a
suit for divorce from this marriage
is now pending in the Faulkner
chancery court.

Fort Smith to Little Rock Trip Ended
Here Yesterday Afternoon.
Starting out last Friday morn
ing to make an automobile trip
from Fort Smith to L'ttle Rock, a
party of four Border City motorists
broke their machine about a mile
and a half north of Conway yester
day afternoon and had it towed to
this city and shipped back to
Fort Smith this morning. Those
iu the party were C. D. Nowen,
Walter Vaile, Fred Reutzle and
Gus Bohmer. They wanted to see
if it was possible to make such a
trip and they say if it had not been
for an accident to their machine
on the home stretch they would
have made it successfully. After
shipping their machine the party
went on to Little Rock by rail,
but declare they will try the auto
trip again soon.
Judge Failed to Arrive.
