LEGISLATOR HONORED.
Representative j. f. Wood Recipient of
Tokens Of Esteem From His
Admirers.

Hon. J. E. Wood, representative in
the house from Lee county, was highly
honored by the business men of Little
Rock and other sections of TIE state on
the day of adjournment Of the legisla-
ture. At the meeting of representative
business men held in Little Rock two
weeks ago, Mr.. Wood made q speech
pledging his support of all measures
for the upbuilding of the commercial
interests of Arkansas. To show the
esteem in which they held the gentle
man. he was presented with magnifi-
cent gold-headed cane, set with dia-
mond, by the business men of Little
Rock. A delegation from Newport
ficent cane, and third one was given
him by citizens of Lee and adjoining
counties. On the following day after
Mr.. Wood delivered his speech before
the business mems convention, reso-
luton censuring him for his utterances
was passed by the house, which was
later, on motion of the gentleman offer
ing it, stricken from the journal With
out endorsing or disappearing the
utterances of the gentleman FROM Lee,
his remarks about the insurance Clause
in the antitrust law are given below
for the benefit of the readers of this
paper:
Gentlemen. do not know that anything
might say will add to the interest of this gath
ering. AS citizen OF Arkansas matchless in
natural resources and advantages, love her
people, her hills and valleys, and prairies and
forests. its beauty and its chivalry. indeed
would be recreant to the trust reposed in me
as representative OF an intelligent constitu-
ency II cast vote to drive capital from the
state. The insurance companies have paid
their fees to the state and fled their bonds for
the current year. and now to drive them from
the state is to vitiate contract.
If the legislature has been wrong 1t Is the
part OF wisdom to change. / for one did not
comprehend such drastic results and did not
know that 1t would create the confusion that
it has. 1t was only whispered while the bill
was under consideration that 1t would affect
the insurance companies, and we little knew
1t would drive capital from the state and de-
prive homes and business interests of neces-
sary protection. for one am willing tc retract
my vote. but very much fear that what you
do will fall upon deaf ears. Nevertheless,
will do all can to relieve the situation and
have my bill in my pocket now IL they will ever
let me present 1t. But want TO tell you the
truth-it is your fault II you have not repre-
sentatives here to represent your interests
You sit calmly by and let the little political
tricksters elect statesmen In embryo, and senS
them to the legislative halls to make your
laws. II you do not take more interest In sucA
affairs the state of Arkansas will go to the
devil II you want to keep such bills as this
from the statutes. you must send broad-guaged
men here-not men who simply vote aye or nc

Washington, April 26.--The gallant
marines who lost their lives in the
early fighting around Guantanamo, are
to be inferred in Arlington cemetery

remains were recently brought from
Cuba and Porto Rico. The funeral ship
Crook is now on her way to New York
with these bodies, together with the
remains of number of soldiers dis
inferred in Porto Rico. 1t is expected
that these remains win reach here

terment will be markedly simple cere-
monies similar to those which attend
ed the burial of their comrades in the
same cemetery few weeks ago.

In answer to resolutions adopted at
The bankers convention asking Gov.
Jones to suspend operation of the anti
trust law against fire insurance COM
panies pending a final test of the law
III the courts. the chief executive de-
ciares he has no authority to grant i'm
munity from possible penalties arising
from violation of the law, holding that
such action would be tantamount to a
suspension of the statute and the ex-
ercise OF the pardoning power before
the courts had declared the commits
Sion of an offense. The governor de-
ciares, however, it is not violation Of
tue law for adjusters to come into the
state to adjust any loss from fire.

HE BOGUS REVENUE STAMPS
Innocent Purchasers VIII be Pro-
tected on Payment of Govern
ment Revenue Claims.

Washington, April 26.-The internal
revenue bureau has In course of prepa-
ration circular letter TO collectors, in
which they are directed to forward to
the bureau all applications for relief
from innocent holders of cigars
stamped with counterfeit stamps and
purchased from Jacobs, the Lancaster
(Pa.) cigar manufacturer recently ar
rested by secret service officers. 1t is
probable that innocent dealers who
have actually paid for the cigars will
be permitted to retain them on con-
dition that they re-stamp them. Cigars
not paid for will be sold, and the pro-
ceeds turned into the treasury. 1t is
not thought that Jacobs has been able
to use counterfeit stamps in excess of
$4,000 or $4,000.

Fleer's Chewing Gum Works, at
Philadelphia, Demolished
by Two Explosions.
TWO OF THE EMPLOYEES WERE KILLED.
A Score of Persons More or Lesx In
tured. One Woman Fatally-Fuliv
n Hundred buildings In the VI
cinity Damaged, and some of
Them Wrecked.

Philadelphia, April 26.-By the ex-
plosion of rs gallons of benzol in the
laboratory of Frank II. Fleer & Co.,
manufacturers of chewing gum, at
2443 Callow Hill street. yesterday, two
men were killed, three persons serious
ly injured and over a score of others
more or less injured by flying debris.
OF those injured. Harry Randall, an
employe, and Mrs. Givison and her son
are the most seriously hurt, but they
will recover.
The Explosion Was Terrific.
The explosion was terrific one, and
for time caused the widest excite
ment. No less than 1C5 buildings in
the vicinity, most of them small dwell
ljngs, were damaged.
Only Four Men In the Building.
The laboratory building was a two
story structure. At the time of the
explosion there were only four men
working in the building, who were pre-
pairing a mixture for the making of
vanilline. The doors TO the room in
which they were working were closed,
but the fumes from the benzol in
some manner reached the furnace in
the next room, and the explosion in
stantly followed. Walter Manwaring
was instantly killed, and Charles Nc
Kinley was so badly hurt that he died
several hours later in hospital.
Remarkable Escapes.
Randalrs escape was remarkable.
He was blown through the roof, and
landed on an adjoining building. At
first it was thought that he was dead,
but after treatment iE the hospital he
regained consciousness. Although
badly hurt, he will recover.
George Connor, the fourth employe
in the room, escaped with a few se-
we're bruises.
AS Mrs. Givison, with her child in
her arms, was hurriedly leaving hef
home, which was directly opposite the
laboratory, her dress caught fire from
a burning ember, and she and the
child were badly burned. Their recov-
cry is doubtful.
Adjoining Buildings Wrecked.
The explosion was so terrific that the
buildings adjoining on each side of the
laboratory were completely demol-
ished. On both sides of the street for
a whole square. the explosion wrought
destruction. Windows were broken,
fixtures were smashed and walls were
cracked. Fire added to the dstruction
in number of places, but the flames
were quickly extinguished before they
did any considerable damage.
The Score of Persons Injured.
The score of persons injured were all
tenants of the many dwellings, and
were in no way connected with the
laboratory. Some were severely cut by
glass, while many were struck by the
flying debris.
The money loss is estimated to be
considerably over 100000.

FOR MUSIC LOVERS.

A galop is very spirited round dance
in two-fcur time. 1t is of German ORR
gin and was formerly called Hopser or
Rutscher.
Enharmonic, diatonic and chromatic
are the names given the three kinds of
musical scale which were recognized
by the ancient Greeks.
The word symphony has two musical
meanings; first, composition for or
chestra in sonata form, and, second, the
prelude, interlude or postlnda of vo-
cal composition.

and education for the physician-makngq quail

stitutions shall be judged. instead OF the num-
ber of people they turn loose upon the public

past as the old adage has it, When a man Is
good for nothing In the world. make doctor of
him. The people demand and expect the ply
sician to be an educated gentleman, and to this
we all coincide with hearty amen.
IF the legislature OF our beloved state In the
future should think best to give us a law regu.
latinR the practice OF medicine, let IL be one
giving equal privileges to all systems OF medi-
cation, through appointments by the governor
OF seperate boards of medical examiners sug-
gested by their respective state associations,
and hold each medical association accountable
for the acts OF its licentates"
