ST. FRANCIS
LEVEE BILL UP
HOUSE POSTPONES THE BILL
CHANGING THE MANNER OF
SELECTING LEVEE BOARD
DIRECTORS.
HOUSE ADJOURNS AT NOON
House Adjourned at Noon On Account
of the Death of Mrs. Jeff Davis—
Few Bills Are Passed—One
Defeated.
The House did not dispose of a
great amount of business during the
Saturday session. Five new bills
were introduced, one defeated and
four local measures were passed. The
House was adjourned at 12 o’clock
an account of the death of Mrs. Da
ris, wife of Senator Jeff Davis.
In the early hours of the session
Mr. Little called up House Bill No.
B79, of which he is the author, pro
viding that St. Francis I.evee Board
directors be elected in the future and
making other provisions for the board
and district. Tl*e bill was read the
third time- and Mr. Little briefly out
lined the purpose of the measure. He
stated that he had offered another
bill at ihe first of the session which,
in addition to the provisions of the
bill then before the House, changed
the representation of counties on the
board according to the amount of
taxes paid. He explained, however,
that there had been some opposition
to that phase of the bill and that he
had withdrawn it and offered the sub
stitute. He stated that the matter
had been an issue in his campaign.
Mr. Thompson of Craighead endorsed
the bill.
Mr. jasKson ot riiiuiys muveu iu
postpone the bill until next week. He
Explained that he was opposed to the
bill, as his county wras left out and
a controversy might arise over a
bond issue of the district in relation
lo his county. He also stated that
he desired the bill to be postponed
until representatives from other coun
ties in the St. Francis district could
be present.
Mr. Clanton of Poinsett favored
postponement, urging that the House
defer action on the bill until Mr.
Russell of Lee returned. Mr. Little
spoke against the motion. Mr. Da
vis asked if Mr. Little believed the
governor would sign the bill which
would take away the appointive pow
er from that executive.
Mr. Ard asked why Mr. Little was
not willing for Mr. Shafer of Critten
den and other representatives to be
present. Mr. Little replied that he
did not know they were particularly
apposed to it; that his bill had al
ready been greatly delayed; that a
Senate measure would be in the
House Tuesday and he wanted the
bill passed before it reached the
Rouse and also asked why it was that
representatives sent to the legisla
ture to appear for their people were
not present to take care of their in
terests.
The motion to postpone carried, 40
to 35.
The next feature wras a discussion
aver the calling up of House Bill No.
420 (Holt cf Hempstead), which re
peals a part of the stock act enacted
into a law having been introduced
by this legislature. The bill which
was enacted into a law hav
ing been introduced by Mr.
Holt’s colleague, Mr. Monroe.
The bill was read the third time and
Mr. Holt spoke in favor of it, statin.?
that his amendment exempted certain
portions of the county where the res
idents had petitioned for its repeal.
iYIL. JIIUU1UC ujf»^ucv.u > ^ ‘
declared that the majority of the
peopTe wanted the law as it stood.
He showed a plat showing the effect
of the proposed law by Mr. Holt, il
lustrating that one section of the
county which it v;as proposed to ex
empt was located in the middle of a
large territory which would remain
ander the law. He read the names
of three signers of (he petition of
Mr. Holt and declared they were
negroes. He declared that “some one
is getting pay for this,” but exoner
ated Mr. Holt’s motives and declared
he believed his colleague was honest
Sn his contentions. .Air. Oliphant op
posed the bill.
The bill was defeated.
It is said that Governor Donaghey
has been consulted regarding the ap
propriation bill now necessary for
the completion of the state capitol
in view of the passage of the Patter
son bill. The Patterson measure pro
vides for the termination of the pres
ent contracts with the architects,
commission and contractors but
leaves unsettled the means to be
employed in finishing the building.
Governor Donaghey is reported to
have said that he hoped the idea
from now on would be to complete
the state capitol and in a manner and
with a sum the legislators may be
lieve is consistent with the wishes
of the people.
As a result of the conference, how
ever, a capitol completion bill will
probably be drafted.
It is reported the governor said
that as the matter progresses fur
ther ho may have some suggestions
to make. "In the ma;ter of appro
priation,” said the governor, “if the
legislature should appropriate too
small a sum, 1 will have to do the
best I can. If a sum greater than
is needed should be appropriated 1
will try and have the amount re
duced.”

LEGISLATIVE NOTES
‘ Dr. Shibley of Paris, president of
the State Anti-Tuberculosis Society,
addressed the members of the General
Assembly in favor of the bill that has
passed the Senate to establish a tu
berculosis sanitarium in Arkansas. Dr.
Shibley said 8,000 persons die in Ar
kansas each year from tuberculosis,
*and that the disease, as a rule, strikes
down its victims in the prime of their
lives. Tuberculosis, he said, is not
now considered a hereditary disease,
but an infectious disease. It is infec
tions through food, drink and air and
net more tnan one-fourth of the peo
ple are immune from the bacilli, the
doctor stated. Speaking of prevent
ives, he said that cleanliness was one
of the first requisites and with it
wholesome food, good air, light and
water are necessary. The doctor said
the disease is not only preventable,
but curable. The campaign against
tuberculosis began in 1882, and since
that lime tne death rate from tuber
culosis in some of the cities has been
reduced almost one-half. The doctor
compared the consumptives of the
state to a standing army and estimat
ed the ranks at 12,000 and that the
army is costing the state annually
about 81,000,000, as 3,000 persons die
annually in Arkansas from the dread
disease.
The recently introduced appropria
tion bill for the Reform School pro
vides for an appropriation of 833,000.
The appropriation bill for the Con
federate Soldiers’ Home provides for
the appropriation of ?60,685, against
$50,285 appropriated two years ago.
Representative Hurst of Washing
ton has received a number of letters
from people throughout the state con
gratulating him on the passage of his
assessment bill. The pleasing feature
of the passsage of a bill* of state-wide,
general importance, to the authors of
those measures are the congratulatory
messages which they receive after
ward. ,
so tar as can now De judged, tne
present legislature does not intend to
pass any kind of pure food legisla
tion despite the fact that the present
pure food law as it exists in Arkansas
is practically harmless and without ef
fect, inasmuch as it fails to provide
for any kind of an appropriation for
the purpose of carrying out the re
quirements of the law and also inas
much as it provides that its execu
tion shall fall upon the state treasur
er, who is busy with other work and
who does not have anything to do
along the line of food work. Had the
bill provided that the state commis
sioner of agriculture take charge of
the work it would probably have had
more effect, as the work would have
been in connection and in line with
part of his work.
Many of the legislators are carrying
canes which are gifts from their con
stituents.
Over $3,000 has been paid by the
state to the expert engineers who
investigated the state capitol build
’ng.
The locak bill by Senator Edmond
son, creating a special school district
in Stone county, which has passed the
Senate, is a segregation bill. It pro
vides that in district No. 9 of the coun
ty the white tax shall go to the white
school and the tax from the negroes
to the negro school. ‘‘This bill has
been asked for by both the whites and
the blacks in that school district,"
said Senator Edmondson, ‘‘and 1 hope
everybody will vote for the bill.”
Several weeks ago a resolution was
adopted in Congress authorizing Ar
kansas and Tennessee to ^establish a
counaary line Between me states m
!he Misisssippi for the purpose of giv
ing each state jurisdiction over crime
committed cn the river, in accord
ance with this resolution Senator De
Rositt of St. Francis has introduced
a bill in the Senate defining the boun
dary line between the states.
The channel of the river as plied
by the Mississippi boats, forms .he
boundary and the center line of the
channel is the dividing line. If crime
is commuted cn the Arkansas side oi
the line, Arkansas peace officers will
have the right 10 arrest the criminals
and take them before the nearest mag
istrate to be held for trial. If the bill
becomes a law Arkansas will have po
lice jurisdiction on the river just the
same as on Arkansas soil.
The bill by Senator Keel requiring
water companies to lay the service
pipes from the mains to the abutting
property, which passed the Senate, is
not a general bill. It applies only to
•Jackson county and affects only the
town of Newport.
A bill to regulate the sale of mer
chandise in bulk has been introduced
in the Senate by Senator Holland of
Sebastian. The jobbers and whole
salers of the state were given a hear
ing on this bill several days before its
introduction by the judiciary commit
tee. The bill was not refrerred to
a committee again, for the reason that
Senator Holland prepared the bill as
the chairman of the sub-committee of
the judiciary committee, appointed for
the sole purpose of drafting the bill.
Senator Bush’s bill for a second re
form school is one of state interest.
It provides for the establishment of
the school in some of the rich agri
cultural sections of the state, where
the inmates can be worked and edu
cated at the same time, while the
school is in a large measure support
ing itself.
The Senate objected to paying the
balance due cn the state farm out of
the general fund, and amended Sena
tor Watson’s bill to provide for the
payment of the $60,000 due out of the
penitentiary fund.
PROBABLY. HARDEST OF ALL
Wifey’s Addition to List of Her House
hold I.’uties of Course Was
Not Personal.
After dimmer Ihe other evening Mr.
and Mrs. T rown started to speak of
their respective duties, and soon an
argument i s to whether the husband
or the wife had the hardest work to
perform was in full swing. First
Brown warbled, and then wifey sang.
"A wife," argued the good lady, “has
to cook, wash dishes, clothe the kids,
scrub the floors, sweep the house,
make the beds, build the tires, carry
up coal, nail slats on the back fence,
dig—”
, “Is that all?” sarcastically inter
rupted Mr. Brown.
“No,” wi 3 the prompt rejoinder of
VIrs. Browr. “In addition to those du
des every wife has to keep her hus
band from making a fool of himself?”

Artificial Wants.
Many a one, for the sake of finery
on the back, has gone with a hungry
belly and half-starved their families.
“Silk and satin, scarlet and velvets,”
as Poor Richard says, ■‘‘put out the
kitchen fire.” These are not the nec
essaries of life; they can scarcely be
called the conveniences; and yet only
because they look pretty, how many
want to have them! The artificial
wants of mankind thus beccmie more
numerous than the natural; and as
Poor Dick says; "For one poor person,
there are a hundred indigent.”—Ben

He Came Back Hard.
“That boy,” said the Billville farmer,
“beats my time! Just now, when I
quoted Scripture to him he came ba«k

he made answer?”

Mastery.
Year after year an old farmer had
listened in grim silence to the trains
thundering by his land. Finally, one
day, his patience at an end, he
dropped his plow and shook his fist
at the passing express.

gol durn ye,” he cried, “but I’m going
to ride ye Saturday!”—Everybody's

SICK DOCTOR
Proper Food Put Him Right.
The food experience of a physician
in his own case when worn and weak
front sickness and when needing nour
ishment the worst way.is valuable:
“An attack of grip, so severe it came
near making an end of nte, left my
stomach in such condition I could not
retain any ordinary food. I knew of
course that I must have food nourish
ment or I could never recover.
“I began to take four tablespoonfuls
of Grape-Nuts and cream three times a
day and for 2 weeks this was almost
my only food; it tasted so dslicious
that I enjoyed it immensely and my
stomach handled it perfectly from the
first mouthful. It was so nourishing I
was quickly built back to normal
health and strength.
“Grape-Nuts is of great value as
food to sustain life during serious at
tacks in which the stomach is so de
ranged it cannot digest and assimilate
other foods.
“I am convinced that were Grape
Nuts more widely used by physicians,
it would save many lives that are oth
erwise lost from lack of nourishment.”
Absolutely the most perfect food in
the world. Trial of Grape-Nuts 10 days
proves. “There’s a Reason.”

HARDSHIPS OF ARMY LIFE.
Left Thousands of Veterans with Kid
ney Trouble.
The experience of David W. Martin,
a retired merchant of Bolivar, Mo., is
just like thou
sands of others.;
Mr. Martin says:
“I think I have!
had kidney dis
ease ever since thej
war. During an en
gagement my
horse fell on me,;
straining my back
and injuring the;
kidneys. I have been told I had a
floating kidney. I had intense pain
in the back, headaches and dizzy!
spells, and the action of the bladder
very irregular. About three years ago
I tried Doan’s Kidney Pills and inside*
of a comparatively short time was en
tirely rid of kidney trouble.”

Caught on the Rebound.
The old man was lecturing his more
or loss wayward son on the evils of
getting up late in the morning.
“Remember,” he said, “that it was
the early bird that caught the worm.”
•“But how about the worm, dad?"
queried the youth, who thought he had
his sire up in the air. “Where did his
reward for getting up early come in?"
“I am informed,” replied the old
man, gravely, “that the worm was on
his way home—hadn’t been in bed at
all.”
And there being nothing more to
say, the young man said nothing.
Took an Antidote.
Percival came running to his grand
ma one day asking for a drink of wa

“give me a drink of water, quick!"
After he got his drink he said: “The

Unsympathqtic.
Others may have said the same
thing, but this rather unsympathetic
comment is attributed to the late
Judge Hoar: “Are you going to at
