ZHE ME- Z'HOD.S or THE
IRIS rs

The people of Arkansas got tired
of being feeced by the trusts doing
business in that State and through
their Legislature passed a law to
check these soulless aggregations of
greed and wealth. The insurance
companies which, unhampered by
any legal bounds, were making
bushels of money and were loath
to take their hands out of the
pockets Of the people. They
jumped up and made all kinds of
threats. They predicted an era of
business stagnation for Arkansas
the impositions of the law they
would bundle up their belongings
and move away from the accursed
soil of Arkansas y great howl
went up from insurance agencies
in different parts Of the country.
was pointed out as a
State where capital was perse-
Cuted and where populism, social
ism, nihilism and all other PERM
cious isms thrived in profusion.
The insurance companies were loud
in their protestations and prop h
esied that the State Of Arkansas
would soon come to grief. They
claimed that under the antitrust
law no insurance company could is
sue any policies in that State and
that without insurance the CONNER
cial life of the commonwealth would
be seriously affected. Weak minded
people were inundated by the
dark forebodings of the represent
tatives of the trusts and an effort
was made to have the Legislature
reconsider its action and repeal the
objectionable law. But the Legis-
lators were not to be bluffed and
stood firm. The capitalistIc press
of the whole country howled fiercely
at what it termed populistic as
sault upon the business interests of
the country. 1t bemoaned the sad
fate OF Arkansas and with lofty
mien asserv Grated that that good
old State had taken the cannon all
route for hell. 1t could see naught
but ruin and misery for Arkansas.
But failing to accomplish their
purpose, the insurance companies
decided that half a loaf was better
than no loaf at all. They did just
what sensible people expected them
to do. They first tried the lobby.
That failed. Then they pleaded
the baby act. That also failed.
They attempted to buIldoze. That
didn't go. The following dispatch
from Little Rock slows what they
are now doing:
Little Rock. Ark. May 3.-There a
break in the insurance situation here to day
when four of the old line companies

business in this field.

all the companies which recently Withdrew
will be doing business in compliance with
the new law.

in his paper and said that the Judges Of

out and tortured to death by tying them
prone In the blazing sun, cutting of
their eyelids and letting venemous spid-

This rather elaborate disposal of these

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, a. they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and tnat Is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an Inhampd con-
dltion Of the mucous lining Of the Eus-
tachlan Tube. When this tube gets
lnfamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it IS en-.
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to It's nor
NAL condition hearing will be Destroyed
forever; nine cases out Of ten are
caused Oy catarrh, which is nothing but
an infamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.

Increased Cotton Receipts.

The cotton season in Dawson is fast
drawins to close. What little cotton
remains on the plantations is being
brought in and sold, ana already farmers
are PHI 1ing for the next crop. Although
the crop has been short as compared
with the past several years, the receipts
in Dawson are now nearly 1900 bales
more than they were the entire sea-
son last year. Stocks ia the warehouses
are very light, probably 1000 or 1900
bales at best. The fact that DawsOn's
receipts have Increased notwithstanding
the short crop is due to the high prices
which has been paid here this season for
the staple.
