Gave Them Good Advice.

Judge Rodgers, of the United States
district court at Fort Smith, in releas-
ing three coal miners sentenced to jail
for contempt in violating his courts in
junction, gave the men the following
advice: you have a right to organize
to secure better pay and shorter hours.
but you must not run counter to the
law in seeking those advancements.
You have right to quit work if you
want to. This court has nothing to do
with that, but you have no right to tell
men that they shall not work, nor have
you right to trespass upon the grounds
of the mining companies. You must
remember that every citizen of this
country has the same rights that YOU
have, and you have no more right to
tell them that they shall not work than
they have to tell you that you shall not
work

Nothing remains Of one Of the states
magnificent charitable institutions at
Little Rock but few charred timbers
and broken brick-the Deaf-Mute In
stitute.
Fire was discovered in the laundry
building early on the morning of Sep
TENDER 30th, and in a short time spread
to the other buildings.
The fire department responded to the
alarm, but the nearest water counec-
tion was a half-mile distant, which
rendered it impossible to check the
flames.
The losses will reach fully 800, 900.
There was no insurance on the build
ings, the legislature making no provis-
ion therefor on the ground that the
state was able to carry its own insur-
ance.
As the fall term of this school was
not to open for two weeks, only about
80 pupils and teachers were quartered
in the institution, and all these were
rescued without accident. So rapidly
did the flames spread, had the sleeping
apartments been occupied by a full
complement of teachers and pupils,
undoubtedly loss of life would have
added horror to the disaster

about two miles from the business por-

Than the closing price the day before.
