Dr. Aldan excepting inability to
maintain harmony between himself

letter :
As pertinent to the Norfolk asylum
situation permit mo to sny that our
legislature makes ample npproprln-
tlons nnd our people cheerfully pro

confidence of their subordinates nnd
through them to keep in close touch
with ench Individual patient nnd by
humane nnd kind treatment win the
trust nml esteem of the Inmates Inso
far ns their mental condition will per

That the management of the Norfolk
hospital has failed In a number of
those essential requirements is clearly
indicated by competent testimony giv
en at the recent investigation held by
the board of public lands nnd buildings
nnd partially reflected by the findings
of said board submitted to you. In my
individual capacity I cnn only com
mend you , governor , for the firm stnnd
you have taken In favor of a change
In the administration of said hospital
as exemplified by your prompt demand
for the resignations of the chief of
ficials. Such demand is not only with
in the limit of your authority ns our
chief executive , but is , in my Judg

and I will further add that criminal
proceedings ought to bo instituted by
the authorities of Madison county

WERE NOT MARRIED.
Two Norfolk Young People Have Good
Joke on 1 nclr Friends.
Word was received from Fremont
yesterday that Howard Wnshburne
nnd Maude Collins of Norfolk , who
md gone there to spend the Fourth ,
: iad been married and were to return
on the evening train. A large crowd
of their friends , armed with rice , old
shoes , tin cans and cow bells , were on
mnd to meet them at the Junction
ivhen they got off the train.
The reception they met at their
rlends1 hands was certainly a warm
one and they never said a word until
after they had come up town. Then
hey declared that they were not mar
ried at all. They had a nice laugh on
their friends , although they were In a
very embarrassing position.
RENT PAYS FOR LAND.
Fertile Sections of the Southwest ,
Where Land Sells for $15 and
Rents for $5 Per Acre.
One of the remarkable things about
eastern Arkansas and northern Louis-
ana Is the fact that cleared land rents
for f 5 per acre cash , and can be bought
for $7.60 to $15 per acre. It costs
rom ? G to flO an ncre to clear It
Other improvements necessary are
slight and inexpensive.
The soil is rich alluvial , or made. It
produces a bale of cotton per acre ,
worth $45 to SCO. This accounts for
its high rental value. Other crops ,
such ns corn , small grains , grasses ,
vegetables and fruits thrive as well.
Alfalfa yields 4 to G cuttings , a ton
to a cutting , nnd brings $10 to $16 per
ton.
ton.In
In other sections of these states ,
and In Texas as well , the rolling or
hill-land is especially adapted to stock
raising and fruit farming. Land Is
very cheap , $5 to $10 per acre ; Im
proved farms $10 ? 15 to $25 per acre.
The new White river country offers
many opportunities for settlers. High ,
rolling , fine water It Is naturally
ndnpted to stock nnd fruit raising ,
Can bo bought as low as $3 per acre.
