"A MAN WHO DOES THINGS"
FRO7 INSURANCE SOLICITOR TO
 A GREAT FINANCIER.
Arthur E. Stilwell, the Man Who was Considered q Dreamer, Has Raised Over Soc, Geo ,ooo
 With Which to Carry
 Out His Enterprises.

1t is doubtlcsS known to almost every person who has been in any way interested in the Kansas City PEiittttssb5ttiifg tS < Gtif Gulf railroad or in any of the many towns and cities along it's line from Kansas City to Port Arthur. that the one man to whom is due the greatest credit for the inception and execution of the great work is Arthur k. Stilwell. His activity has not ceased as the plans of the first great enterprise seemed brought to successful completion, but he is going into other and wider fields. Mena, our happy. healthy and prosper
 ous city owes to this man its very existence and much of its phe- nomenal growth. and our readers can but watch the progress and successes of Mir. Stilwell with in- terest. Recently the Chicago Trib- une published lengthy outline of Mr. Stilwell and his wonderful accomplishments in the face of opposition considered by other men aS insurmountable, and we reproduce a portion of the article:
 A new star in the financial world is rising in the West. He is another Napoleon of fnance-a man who does things. Ten years ago he was life insurance solici- tor and poor one at that. Seven years ago all he knew of railroad was that it consisted of two tracks on which trains ran. To-day he handles scores of millions of American and European money and controls and operates over 1,200 miles of trunk line railroad, created by himself. and is adding to it every day He has linked Kansas City with the Gulf of Mexi- co by a railroad as near an air line as it can be, has turned north and reacheI Omaha. on his way to Manitoba, eastward, and reached Quincy en route to Chicago. He has built towns, founded new in dustries, reclaimed tens of thous- ands of acrcs of land tu aoricul- ture, opened mines. established lines of steamers and is digging a ship canal seven miles long, wide and deep enough to accom- modate tbo largest vessel aHoat. He has aroused the railroad world of America, and the financial worlds of America and Europe,

STIFF TRUST ACT
Bars Any Pool From Do.
ing Business in Texas.
Bill Sent TO the Governos-A Dras-
tic MeaSure-Pooiing Prohibited,
No Crushing Competition

AUSTIN, Tex, May 12.-The House
of the Texas Legislature today finally
passed the antitrust bill as it came
from the Senate Tuesday. The bill as
passed is decidedly more drastic than
the Arkansas law 1t absolutely de-
bars any pool or trust from doing bust
ness in the State and prevents its
goods from being used in the State, for
the reason that it clearly specifies that
goods bought from any trust or corpo-
ration which may prove to be a trust
need not be paid for 1t also provides
that no corporation can fix a price on
its goods and force merchants TO sell
at such price.
1t provides further that pooling is
strictly prohibited, and that any cor
poration giving away it's goods with a
view of crushing competition shall be
adjudged a member of trust and
shall be debarred from doing business
in the State. The bill passed the
House this evening and will be sent to
the Governor at once. The House
members who favored the Arkansas
law accepted the Senate bill without
any discussion.
The bill passed by vote of 20. TO 3.
The law goes into effect January l.,
1900.

WANT MORE TIME.

Washington, Dec. 6.-The Interstate
Commerce commission today gave a
hearing to the representatives of the
several companies asking for a further
extension of the time allowed the rail-
roads to equip their lines with safety
appliances. Two years ago the COM
mission granted an extension until
January l, 1900. The further extension
asked for at the present time is
year. The representatives of various
labor organizations were also present
to offer their side OF the case. Repre-
sentatives of about 100 roads were in
attendance. After railroad officials had
protested against the carrying gu OF
the order, owing to the delays it would
occasion and the great expense at this
time, f. E.. Clark, president OF the Or
der of Railway Conductors, said he
had no desire to embarrass the com
mission or the railroads. The en-
ployees wanted to be reasonable. The
inherent defect in the law, he said, was
that its enforcement would punish the
innocent rs well as the guilty.
In 1898, said he, 1859 railroad en-
ployes were killed and 81, 761 had been
injured. OF these over 600 had been
killed and over 5000 wounded in coup
ling cars. II the law had been obeyed
and had accomplished its object, not
one of those men would have been
killed or injured. AS regards the cost,
of which the railroads had complained,
he said it was hard to strike a balance
between dollars and cents and lost lives
and injuries. Railroad organizations
during the past two weeks had paid
out over 81, 900, 900 in death and sick
benefits. AS men crippled in the SER
vice were debarred from further en-
ployment by railroads, those organiza-
tons wanted just as few men crippled
Of couplers in bad order. to which at
tention has been called, he declared
that until the law became actually OPP
erative it would be impossible to ON
pei the roads to keep their couplers in
good order. He called attention to the
fact that many roads which were now
completely equipped, were before the
commission two years ago contending
that it would be absolutely impossible
for their roads to equip their cars in
less than five years. He said few pri-
vate car lines Owners of refrigerator
cars, etc., showed a disposition to
equip their cars. He thought DOR
or later all roads would be obliged to
equip the foreign cars or their lines.

A NEW YEARS GUIDE.

There is one book every one should
make an effort to get, for the new year.
1t contains simple and valuable hints
concerning health, many amusing anec,
dotes, and much general information.
We refer to Hostetter's Almanac, pub
lished by the Hostetter company, Pitts
burg, Pa. It will prove valuable to any
household. Sixty employees are kept at
work on this valuable book. The is
sue for 1900 will be over eight millions,
printed in the English, German,
French, Welsh, Norwegian, Swedish,
Holland, Bohemian and Spanish Ian
guages. It contains proof of the eff
ficacy of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
the great remedy prepared by the
publishers, and is worthy Of careful
preservation. The almanac may be OBJ,
tanned free Of cost, at any druggist or
general dealer in the country.

1t is not surprising to heal that the
senatorial race in Arkansas will be
made upon the question of expansion.
Expansion is likely to prove a great
benefit to the people Of the southern
states. In the orient is where the bulk
OF the cotton goods Of the world is
used and 1t behooves the people OF the
south to look for a market for their
rapidly increasing product. Since they
have introduced hundreds of factories
in the south they have come to realize
the necessity of opening foreign mar
kets, and the markets OF the east are
the ones which are most tempting and
the easiest for America to control. To
do this successfully the Philippine
ports will be of great service. The
tide of the cotton exports will ere long
be turned from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific and the Liverpool market will be
compelled to give way to one On the
Pacific coast.

The New York Evening Post is sell
dom pleased at any legislation which
the republican party enacts or proposes
to enact. The financial reform bill,
however, which the republican mem
bers of the joint committee OF the SEN
ate and house framed, and which is to
be introduced at the opening Of the
session, meets the favor OF that paper.
1t calls this bill a sound and eXpedi-
ent measure and says lit ought to
have the unanimous and energetic sup
port of all of those who wish our coun-
try to face its splendid future with
confidence and security" The bill Will
undoubtedly get the support OF all in

chain, permits national banks to issue

authorizes the establishment OF ma
tional banks with a capital OF $2o,ooo
in small towns, with the right to issue
notes, and 1t repeats the tax on ma
tional bank circulation. This is a wise
measure. It's enactment will fulfill the
implied pledge which the republican
party made in the St. Louis platform
of 1896, and will be a fitting sequel to
the republican legislation which, a ILL.,

The people must look to the repub-
lican party for legislation to curb the
trusts. Two republican presidents
have recommended legislation Of a
national character against combina-
lions Of capital calculated to restrict
competition and raise the prices Of ne
cessaries of life. The only democratic
president we have had since the war OF
the rebellion recommended that the
matter be referred to the states for
action. The business relations of all
the states are so closely interviewer
that nothing short Of national legis-
lation can reach the evil. II one state
passes repressive laws. another seeks
to take advantage Of its situation. The
law must be general. The Sherman act,
so far as it goes, has done much good,
serving to break up several illegal rail-
road traffic associations. One thing is
sure, relief can only come through the
republican party. The democrats.
when in power, were never known to
do much but quarrel over the offices
and pile up a deficit.
