THE CHANTING OF FB4N-
 GIfISES.

One of the most sacred trusts re posed in d City Council is that of granting public srancises. The priviliges aad franchises of any municipality belong in common to the citizens thereof, and are placed in the custody and keeping of the municipal council and officers. These privileges and franchises should not be granted to private corporations without some eompen- sating advantage to the body poli- tic. This eompensating advantage can be by direct purchase or share in the receipts of the corporation; or by an improved, enhanced and cheapened public service. Just now . new corporation is seeking for a charter from ike city Of Pine Bluff for the operation of an electric light plant and street car liae. The pee ple of Pine Bluff are anxious to SC. cure either or both of these enterprises, but in granting J franchise to this corporation the City Council should serupuIously see to it that every safe guard is thrown around the charter and the public interest guarded. The char ter should not De indefinite it should be specific It should specify exactly what is granted and ao more, and what is not specifically granted should be reserved to the community in common For iu- stance, in the matter Of application for charter for a street railway every street over which the pro posed line is to run should be desig- nated. The franchise should be for the streets aaple{, and no others. And then the franchise should be conditioned upen the cons swuction of the plant, or plants, within a short and definite period then, if the street car line is not put in operation by the expiration of the period mentioned. the charter should ipso f.tcfo become forfeited. Otherwise the charter could be in defiuateY held aad never complied with, remaining all the while . mere subject matter for cplaE9a on tae part Of the owners q fine fran chise#a ihing to be used of not used according to leil wishes in the premises, or to De sofd in the event et aatteripe or satisfactory offers from other parties Al these things should be carefully guarded against, and the public interest n any contingency, protected

Between heats the guideless PAGER

Only -four starters responded to the

a hot %favorite at $50 to $40 for the field.
Nancy Time had the pole and she
acted so we'll that in spite of one of
Geers' electric finishc~ with The Monk
she landed at the VI: first by half a
length. In the secoTl heat the mare
led again to the head of the stretch,
but a little break settled her chances
and The Monk won by a length. In
the next heat The Monk won by four
lengths n he landed again easily

Baby Broke out with ScrofuIa Sores.

cat the age of two months, my baby
began to have sores break out on his right
cheek. = We used all the external APP
plications that we could think or hear Of,
to 10 avail. The sores spread all over one
side OF his face. We consulted a physi-
clan n tried his medicine, and in a week
the sore was gone. But to my surprise in
two weeks more another s%crofulous look
ing sore appeared ON baby's arm. 1t
grew worse and worse, and when he was
three months old, 1 began giving him
Hoods Sarsaparilla. I also took Hoods
Sarsaparilla, and before the first bottle
was finished, the sores were well and have
never returned. He is now four years old,
but he has never had any sign Of those
scrofulous sores since he was cured by
Hoods Sarsaparille, for which I feel very
grateful. My boy owes his good health

icine." MRS. 8. S. WRorEN, Farming

JUDGE COLLINS HELPS OUT.
Passes on the Qualifications of Can
didates for Naturalization.

Justice Collins, of the supreme court,
held an evening session last night and
in little over two hours passed on
the qualifications of 140 residents of
the First ward for second papers. An
awful swath was cut in the adherentS
of the king Of Norway and Sweden
seVen-eighthS of the number natural
lied into full f1edged citizens, renounc-
Ing all allegiance to the Scandinavian
monarch. The cause of the sudden in
flux Of First ward residents to the
supreme court room was due to the
activity of the Republican precinct
committeeman. A house to house can
vass is being made in this Republican
stronghold, and all persons who are
not fully qualified to vote are being
persuaded to secure their second pa
pers. One of the committee stated
last evening that no attention was
paid to the politics of the person, but
all were urged to secure papers which
would allow them to cast vote next
spring.
Those who appeared before Justice
Collins were obliged to have two wit
nesses to testify as to their qualifi-
cations, and after the witnesses had
been duly sworn and stated that they
knew the applicant had lived five
years in the country and one year in
the state, and was Of good character,
Deputy Clerk Helm administered the
oath which made them entitled to
vote. County Treasurer Edmund,
Deputy County Treasurer Carlson and
Emanuel Johnson were kept busy
vouching for residents of the ward,
and from appearances knew personal
ly nearly all the applicants.
Peter Simon, who was granted his
second papers, approached the court
in a very friendly manner, and as
Justice Collins looked UP from the ap-
plication nodded to the judge and
smiled.
We'll" said Judge Collins, 81 guess
[ have known you longer than either
of your witnesses, Mr. Simon"
I'm that case, replied Simon, you
will do for both witnesses"
The applicant was sworn, and as he
renowned allegiance to the emperor
of Germany, and stepped back from
the bench, he tapped a G. A. r. but
ton which he wore in a significant
manner, and Judge Collins informed
the surprised audience that
Simon used to be in my regiment"
Owing to the large crowd Clerk
Oar Reese gave notice that the
papers would not be ready to hand out
for a week. After the crowd had all
mill, County Treasurer Edmund took
occasion to thank Judge Collins for
his kindness in the matter.
Another evening session of the court
will be held Wednesday evening, Judge
Collins stating that it was his idea
that the men could be accommodated
better in the evening than in the day
time and would not have to lose time
from their work.
