A Pnrely 1lsAmterested Deiendef
Of the Water Works Company.

EDITOR LEDdER-As it has alwa-G
been my custom to take sides with
Justice, or what in my humble judg-
ment was the right whether to my
interest or against mel word or two
relative to the Water Company of
this city will, in all probability, not
be out of place. Bear in mind that
| haven't the slightest pecuRiary in
terest in said company, and what l
am about to say will be nothing less
than disinterested benevolence.
Of late there has beer q great many
hard words said about this company,
aud words that by no means should
be uttered unless the people have a
better right than the writer thinks
they have.
The Water Company has informed
the public time and again why, at
times, water will not run through
their premises. In substance, it has
repeatedly made the following state
ment-"That If you are so, or will
allow your servants to be so negligent
as to leave the water running for
hours at time, and probably all night,
that this necessarily will stop the
water on your neighbours premises.
This is selfish act in one sense of
the word, though l do not think it is
50 regarded, for the simple reason
that the people never think for once
that it is their duty to comply with
the rules Of the Water Company. And
let me say that it is very evident,
judging from the little effect that
grumbling and censure has had on
the company, that it will be many,
many years before we have water like
we wish it, unless the people see fit to
observe more strictly the rules of this
company.
1t seems that people are naturally
disposed to grumble and growl over
circumstances and conditions Of
things, when in nine times out of ten
they are at fault themselves.
The Water Company is far better
than none, and if we had none, strange
to say, we would see the Importance
of compliance with its rules.
JUSTICE.

also has the best geographical position

Chancellor Merritt, in his decision
Of the injunction case growing out of
the 1903 bill, gives it as his opinion
that the coupon feature Of the bill does
not stand in the way of future legisla-
ton on the subject. A Legislature to
be elected next year may repeal this
odious measure and make an adjust
ment more satisfactory. The courts
and the people are bound by this law
only as long as it stands unrepealed.
and It, or any part OF it, may be re-
pealed BY subsequent legislature. If
the Judge be right, and it looks ike
the case ought 10 be that way. mt nd

Our Walnut Traffic.

For month past the Little Rock
railway has been busy forwarding four
or five cars daily loaded with walnut
logs cut several years ago in the St.
Francis and White river bottoms, and
about $50 carloads have so far been
moved. They go East for use by a
prominent sewing machine factory.
Some Of the logs are immense in size,
being monarchs of the forest, and as
much as eight feet in diameter. 1t
takes but'two mammoth specimens Of
the kind to load car, but the average
size is three or four feet in diameter,
and but four or Eve of this sort will
load car. On the banks of White
river at the railway crossing steam
engine is used to draw the logs out Of
the RATS in the river, saw them in
proper lengths aud load them on to
the cars. Each car loaded with logs
bears a printed placard announcing
the logs to be specimens of walnut
timber found in great abundance in
Arkansas, and that the land producing
them may be purchased at the rate Of
from $3.50 to Sc per acre. A vast
traffic in walnut and other species Of
timber as we'll as sawed lumber has
been in progress for some time past
between the people of the White and
st. Francis valleys, and various con-
sumers of the same in Indiana, Ohio
the East and Europe.

The RefresIling Rain.

A lovely thunder shower favored
us yesterday afternoon. It.lasted all
hour or more, and the measurement
was Sl-100 of an inch. This delight
full rain was the first we have had here
since the 22d Of June, the interval
between showers being just one
month. The ground was dry and
parChed. In many gardens the
plowed ground was as hard as brick
bats, and dust on the public highways
was in many places over foot in
thickness. No more welcome vista
ton could have favored this locality
than the delightful shower which
came up SO suddenly from a westerly
direction yesterday evening. The
rain, however, did not extend very far
to the northward. A hundred miles
uu the river not a drop fell. The
heavy clouds which sent down the re-
freshing drops after a day Of exces
sive sultriness overcast the skies for
seventy-fve miles or so to the north,
but the shower was lighter than here
over the most of the area above
The quantity which fell to the south
has not been heard from. The dust
is no longer an annoyance, and
parchcd vegetation has been much
invigorated by the rain Of yesterday
afternoon, while the air is half a
dozen or more degrees cooler to day
than it was during the blistering and
oppressive heat Of yesterday. Another
shower just like it would be welcome
to-day.

or For tbe Rocky Mountains.

OF For the Rocky 1EOuntains.
On Monday evening next DR.. Mara
BILE leaves for Denver, Colorado, and
other smaller cities and towns Of the
Rocky Mountains in search Of health.
The Doctor was one Of the few that
stood like a wall Of granite by Mem
phis and her good citizens in every
yellow fever epidemic from 1856 to
1879. He is regarded as one Of our
best physicians, and perhaps is the
equal Of any man south of Mason and
Dixon's line in surgery, the branch of
his profession he loves so well.
In 1878 DR.. Marable had very Sc
we're case of yellow fever himself, with
two relapses, and. came very near
dying. This left his system in that
peculiar weakened condition that it
sometimes does, which requires years
and years to overcome completely, if
ever. While down with the fever in
1873, so that he could not help him
self at all, hundreds of people, both
white and colored, visited his rooms
for prescriptions for those of their
families that were lying PROSTATE with
the disease, preferring him to treat
them by telling their symptoms to any
one else in the city, and in this condi-
ton he prescribed for hundreds, his
wife writing down the prescriptions
as he dictated them. 1t is sincerely
hoped that the good people of Den
yer and other places he may visit will
receive and extend to him that care
and attention that he so richly merits,
and when the cool, bracing weather Of
fall shall come may he return to his
home fully restored to health and
vigor and ready to enter upon his
medical and surgical duties again.
