AN ELECTRIC STREET CAR LINE.

We announce with unaffected
pleasure the consumation of a most
important local enterprise, which
will, in the near future, convert
our present street car line into a
fully equipped electric system, with
all modern Improvements and CON
veniences. This means an extension
of the present line, together with
additional mileage, in the way of
branches and side lines. With the
change of motive power will come
an improvement in every depart
ment of the local system, from the
cars in use to the road bed. That
extensive additions will be made is
already assured, whether the en-
terprise is conducted by local capit-
al or foreign company. The benefit
of this change to both city and
people can not well be over estimat-
ed. Taken in connection with 9TH
er important projects for inter
improvement, the electric car line
may be considered as one of the
most excellent and desirable of
purely local improvements now un
der way, on having the promise of
immediate consummation

TWO MORE VACANCIES.

A distinct rumor, to the effect
that two vacancies are likely to oc-
cur, in the near future, on the
bench of the Arkansas Supreme
Court, has gained prevalence in
Little Rock. The judges who are
credited with a desire to lay aside
official labor, so far as the court
over which they preside is concern
ed, are Justice Mansfield and Battle
The reasons given for their retire
ment is the very arduous work at
taching to the position, coupled
with the fact of an inadequate sal
ary.
1t has been known for some time
among thnse who stand closest to
Judge Mansfield that his health was
not as vigorous as he would like to
have it, and it is said he has fire.
quently expressed a desire to retire
for a sufficient length of time to re-
cuperate.
Being a very conscientious man
he would not leave his post of duty
even for a few months on leave
Of absence,
Judge Battles present term will
expire in September He has serv-
ed on the bench longer than any
other of the five members who now
constitute that tribunal, and is one
of the ablest jurists the state ever
had. 1t is said, however, that he
too has felt that the salary of a SUI
preme justice is too small for the
requirements of the office. He
may conclude to allow his name
presented for reelection, but if
such is his intention, he has not in
dlcated as much to his friends.
The above rubbish, as to salaries
paid Arkansas Supreme Justices, is
a fair sample of the rot in the Lit
tie Rock dailies, There are plenty
of good men who are anxious and
willing to serve at $1,000 a year
Both Judges Mansfield and Battle
say there is nothing in the rumor
as to their 'resigning," and latter
says he expects to stand for re-
election. ED. TExARKANIAN.] ]

Of this performance the Louisville
Courier Journal says. The man

in proportion to the merits of the

cant seats in the house at the hour
for raising the curtain. AS the
blind girl Julia Stuart was at once
pretty and pathetic. There was
no overwrought scenes, no straining
for effect, only the adequate pre-
sentation of a character beautiful

erful in its appeal to.all that is hui

Kendall was exceedingly clever and

forty-six years of my life and the
record of my life is before the peo-
pie, and l wish that every line of
that record could be read and
known to every citizen of Arkansas.
|, of course, believe that my expe-
rience of nine years here, my ac-
quaintance with the members of the
Senate and familiarity of transact
ing its business would enable me to
serve the people more efectually in
the future than in the past, but if
they believe that l, ever by deed,
word or act betrayed their conf
dence, been untrue to them or to
Arkansas, l cannot expect their
support, and if they think that an
other will more effectually, more
earnestly and with more ability
promote their welfare they ought
to elect him, and no word of COM
plant will ever be heard from me.
l am proud of Arkansas, of her peo-
pie and of their past history 1t is
my highest ambition to contribute
something toward the development
Of the great resources of the state,
something to the happiness and
prosperity of the people who have
so often honored and trusted me. |
am entirely willing to submit the
matter with my past record both
public and private to the judgment
of the people of Arkansas, and let
them determine who will best suit
them. With great respect,

The TEXARKANIAN, unsolicited,
publishes the above address of Sen
ator Berry Ever since coming to
Arkansas (nearly ten years slnce)
and adopting it as our home, we
have known and admired Mr.. Berry,
and have always been his friend as
well, because of his ability, true
worth and merit. He has been
true to the people always, and
there is no "spot or blemish" in
either his public or private life.
Arkansas never had a truer or bet5

has only served one full term and
part of another, and can now be
more useful than ever before We
believe that Arkansas will stick to

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup Of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the-refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
ative; efectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it IS man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Fig,
and being well informed, you viii not
accept any substitute if offered.

THE wHIsKEY TAX.
1t May Be Placed at s1.50 Per Gallon
By the Committee.

Saturdays dispatches from Wash
ington confirm the statement here
tofore made that the fight over
Peckham's nomination, in the Sen
ate, during the last days of the
week, had the effect of greatly re-
tarding the work of the sub-com-
mittee on the tariff bill. Specula-
ton on the probable outcome of the
bill continues to vary widely ac-
cording to the Will or wishes of those
who discuss it. Nothing can be
stated with accuracy. There is
some reason to believe that the tax
on whisky will be increased 1t will
probably be increased to $1.50 and
might be put to $1.75. The west
ern men have made a serious revolt
against the sugar duty Missouri,
Illinois, Indiana and Ohio have made
a threat that a sugar duty will not
be acceptable-will not go-but will
be fought. The Democrats of the
finance committee of the Senate
are opposed to an issue of bonds,
They will not, if they can prevent
it, allow any secretary of the treas
ury in the present or future time to
issue bonds. They intend to pro-
vide revenue enough to make it i'm
possible for any secretary of the
treasury to have an excuse to issue
bonds. In consequence it is the
purpose of the Senate committee
to provide revenue.
The bill as it passes the Senate
will have more money in sight than
the House bill had. 1t is a matter
of Judgment where the money
should come from. Some say whis-
key should furnish it, some say SUI
gar, some say tobacco, some say in
crease the income tax. Just now it
looks as if whiskey would be called
upon to provide the required reve-
nue. The threat of the House Dem
ocrats from Missouri, Illinois, Ohio
and Indiana has made the advocates
of duty on sugar hesitate 1t is
argued that a whiskey tax is an
easy one. 1t is easy because it is
no more difficult to collect 81, 80 than
to collect 80 cents, as at present. 1t
is argued that it is such an easy
tax to defend, also being tax on
intemperance. Just now it looks
very much as if the whiskey tax
would be put to $150 or something
near it when the tariff bill goes
through the Senate.

Back from Sulphur.

The editor got back from Sulphur
township Saturday afternoon-a
little "disfgured but still in the
ring" from the long horseback
ride
With the collector spent a part
of four days at Bright Star That
place was once a lively business
point with twice as many business
firms as now hold the board there;
it still does thriving business. If
the Gate City" road is extended
over into Sulphur as is talked, a
good town will be built up some
where thereon, opposite Bright
Star, some three miles away. And
when the Texarkana & Ft. Smith
is extended southwark, it is thought
that Dempsey will become a live
village, just across the line.
We thank our friends j. K, Pat
terson and Adam Stewart, for fav-
ors and assistance rendered us.
Last fall Mr. p, married Miss Ada
Stewart, and has since bought the
