ONE of the most important bills that will demand the attention of the Legislature this session is bill to prevent the preference of credi- tors. The system in vogue in this State at this time is little short Of a public disgrace, and it has come to pass that over half of the failures in Arkansas are little short Of a general robbery of creditors. The law is blot upon the fair escutcheon of the State that should be wiped out.

 xcncy Rationsr For Soldiers.

EGHNf N&t4oAS- Eof Sotu1eFbs
 Hard broad. bacon and compressed aoup will probably compose the "emer- roncy ration" about to be adopted by tGae war department Some time ago it was decided by tho secretary of war to make q practical examination of all goods in order to discover the best ration for soldiers on forced march. A board was appointed, and after thorough ex- animation it recommends the menu given above. This recommendation has been approved by the assistant secretary of war. It is now being considered by Secretary Lamont.
 In the long list of foods considered by the board oatmeal bread, bread made from whole wheat, pemmioans or meat paste, eorned beef, smoked beef and canned cooked beef were found espe- oially nutritious, but all had to stand aside for bread, bacon and soup The board also recommended coffee as part of an emergency ration. 1t suggested that tea, when called for, may be spb- stituted for coffee.
 The board considered the efforts ut concentration of coffee to be practically failures, declaring the solid extracts to have taste of coffee, while the fluid ex- tracts have moro flavor of ehioory than of coffee. The weight of ono ration as recommended by this board is 33. IS ounces. In dire emergency one-half this amount daily would sustain life

SOLD AN ENTIRE TOWN.
The Deserted Village of Halbertson Fought
 For @2,O0O.


 Sheriff Allen R. Shinn has just had tho unusual distinction of selling an en- tire town. Two thousand dollars was tho price paid, and the title of the He brew settlement of Halbertson, N. j., passed at public sale from the Cumber- land Land and Improvement company to the New Jersey Loan and Investment company. who had a mortgage upon the entire tract and foreclosed on it.
 What they will do with the place is not known. Halbertson was started some years ago to provide homes for the Russian Hebrew immigrants. Twenty two houses were erected on the tract and largo factory put up. For a time the village prospered, but the class of people there were not active and thrifty, and gradually it became deserted vil- lage, not one of the inhabitants re- maining.
 Maurice River township built a large schoolhouse there, which, like the oth- CT buildings is unused. This is be- lieved to be the first case oil record of a sheriff selling an entire town. --Phila delphia Press

NO CREDeNCE GIVEN
To the Rumor of Proposed Invasion of Bo-
 yia by Her Neghboring States.

Washington Nov. 12.-The cabled re- mort from Valparaiso of the existerce of a plan for a dreibund of Chin, Peru and Argentine, with the purpose of seiz- ing and dividing Bolivia attracted con siderable attention in diplomatic ciicles here today, but those well informed con sfdering South American affairs are in clined ito aus stion it. One diplomat. who would be likely to know if such scheme was on foot, rtdicules the idea of an alli- anua between Peru, Argentine and Chia for the purpose of dividing Bolivia. Ar genuine. it is pointed out, has absolutely nothing at stake In the pending difficult ases between Peru, Bolivia and ChfM over the boundary Hines, and so far as is known here there never has been a sug gestion for the absorption of Bolivia by Chila and Peru.
 / The pending negotia tons between these three latter countries for the delimina- ton of ther boundary lines grew out of the war between Peru and Bolivia on one hand and Chila on the other. By the treaty of Ancon, in 1883, the Peruvian provinces of Jacna and Africa, contain ing the rich nitrate beds which Ch.h had obtained possession of, were to remain in the hands of Chill until 1894, when the question of permanent ownership as between ChM and Peru were to be de cided by popular vote. In case the pro- vinces should give their vote to Peru the Ia,bt CT country was to compensate Chill for their loss with 100000 900 soles> Ow- dng to the revolution in Peru tn 1894-95

1t Is explained tflis stipula tion of the Ancon treaty never was carried out; but tt is said negotiations foa settlement gre now in progress with the prospects of an entirely peaceful settlement.
 No treaty of peace between Bolivia and Chili was made until 1895. A truce was arranged in 1883. which left Peru dn possession of Bolivia's stretch of sea- coast and two ports. Boliyia's great ob- Ject was ito secure again an outlet to the sea, and by the treaty of 1895 Chill agreed to give Bolivia sea port. In- asmuch as the stretch of territory taken from Bolivia, however, lies between the provinces of Tacna and Africa, taken from Peru, 1t was manifestly impossible for Chin to surrender an outlet through the old territory of Bolivia without com- pleiteIy segrega.Hng and dismembering her own territory. It is this problem which has delayed the settlement of the whole question and raised issues which have produced more or less feeling in each of the countries.

WILL NOT HANG SOON.
Red Tape Will Give Durrant Long Lease on
 Life.

San Francisco, Nov. 12.-In view of the fact that the supreme court, which Us now in session at Sacramento, will ad- journ on Tuesday next, until the second Monday in January, it is not considered probable that W. H. T. Durrant, the condemned murderer of Blanche La- mont and Minnie Williams, will expiate the crime for which he was sentenced to be hanged in December 1896, during the current year.
 In the ordinary course of events the matter would come up for hearing upon the points involved in the order grant ing the certificates of probable cause to which Durrant owes his second lease Of life. uI1sil ithe middle of January. After the case has been decided another thirty days at least must intervene before the remittur from tn supreme court can reach the trial court and the condemned man be re-sentenced for the second time This course would not allow the execu- fion to take place before the latter part of February or the beginning of March next. It is possible that the attorney general may apply to the supreme court to advance the case, but this action is unlikely.
 Meantime, Durrant has been removed from the condemned cell and returned to his old cell, No. 21, in murdersrs row. at San Quentin.
