RAILROAD COMMISSION.

That the time has arrived when
there will be some rapid railroad
development in this state no one
can doubt who has kept up with
the trend of events as recorded in
these columns. This notwithstand-
ing the fact that the people in
every county in Arkansas have just
recorded their votes in favor of the
creation of a railroad commission
charged with the duty of supervis-
ing and regulating railroad corpor-
ations- not to their detrimeut but
to the interest of the corporations
and people alike.
No paper in Arkansas has been a
more determined advocate of a
railroad commission law than the
Gazette. The people of the state
by their votes have backed the
proposition. We take it for
granted that we will have a rail
road commission. In its creation it
should be so guarded that no
wrong can be done to existing roads
but as public carriers, not only
they but those who enter the same
field, may be amply protected.
1t will be no easy matter to get the
legislature to enact a measure
which will do equal and exact just
ice to everybody.
There are great many good and
excellent men elected to the legis-
lature soon to assemble. This sub
iect is one with which they will
haye to deal.-Arkansas Gazette.
You can count on two votes from
Miller county for a railroad COM
mission in the persons of Senator
W. f. Kirby and Representative j.
A. Walker. We do not want any
miscarriage in this needed reform
this time. Let us have the COM
mission by all means.

COMING.

A. K. Hawkes., the famous At
lanta Optician, direct from the
home Office of this great Optical
house, or one of his practical Op-
ticians, will remain at the store of
his agent, Smith Drug Co., tor six
days only, beginning October 26.
This will give the citizens of Texar-
Gana and vicinity a rare opportun-
ity of having their eye sight tested
free by one of the most renowned
as well as reliable Opticians in the
United States.
Mr.. Hawkes. has all the modern
appliances for the scientific adjust
ment of Spectacles and Eye Glasses
to the eye. There is no Optician
in the United States who enjoys the
confidence of the people more than
Mr. Hawkes.. His name is a famiI-
lar word throughout a section Of
the country inhabited by over
twenty-five millions of people. Mr.
Hawkes. has probably fitted glasses
to the eyes of more people of
national and international fame
than any other Optician Lying.
His wonderful success is due to his
superior grade of glasses, and to
the confidence the people have in
his ability as a practical Opticiap.
This firm was established in 1870,
nearly thirty years ago. Call early
as he will positively remain but six
days, as he has other engagements
Tor later dates. Caution: these fa-
nous glasses are never peddled 54-l2

Talk about your red tape, we
saw tracer this morning directed
to a baggage master, that has
been on the go for thirty days. 1t
seems that the car inspector at one
of the division points on one of the
roads running 10 here, discovered
glass broken out of a baggage
car, and he put life in a tracer in
order that the road could charge it
up to the one who did the damage.
OF course no one will admit break
ing the glass and so foolish tracer
as this shows where the Americans
are drifting, We suppose the glass
still remains out and will until the
offender is found, or the road gives
up all hopes of catching the offend
err Just such red tape as this is
rampant in onr army and it was
this that caused our army to suffer
so while lying in the bitches at
Santiago and other places. We
should cut the spool that it is
wound on and put men in places
who have the judgement to act,
and who are honest enough not to
impose upon those whom they are
paid to serve without so much
checking as this red tape impose

Up to date the situation is this:
BY adopting the gold standard this
country has deprecated its pro-

SUDDEN STORM.
A Heavy Shower Thursday, Accom-.
panied by High Wind.

rt H-.-E0 LHLE- LTg-|HTT LHEE-.
There was a sudden and violent storm
that ragged for several hours Thursday
afternoon, beginning shortly before 8
o'clock and lasting until about 5o'clock.
Bismarck seemed for an hour or so to
be a storm center and the wind blew
with a violence seldom equalled. Great
masses Of clouds circled about from all
directions and finally conferred over the
city and the gale blew with great velo-
city. The air vas filed with dust and
debris which was picked up and carried
by the wind. Several fences and out.
houses were blown down, and for a few
minutes it looked as though the storm
might assume serious proportions.
The storm developed suddenly and
with little warning. The first announce
ment Of it's coming was in the shape Of
the great clouds of dust which enveloped
everything, and which wrapped the, city
in q cloud. Following the.wind, heavy
rain began to fall and continued for
several hours.
The damage from the wind in the
city is confined to a few overturned
fences and minor accidents. In the
country it is believed the violent wind
must have uncovered some seed, il it
ragedsRs severely as in town.
