Freight Rate Advances in Prospect.

NEW YORK. Oct. 27.-Commissioner
Goddard, of the Trunk Line Association,
said yesterday that the movement to ad-
vance east-bound freight rates was by no
means SO sweeping as published reports
indicated. AS he understood the grain
rate had been fixed at basis of % cents
which was an advance from 20 cents. Five
years ago the rate was 25 cents. The move
ment looked toward a gradual advance to
the rates formerly prevailing. 1t would
be gradual because the shippers would not
stand radical advances. The railroads
think that they should get their share of
the general business prosperity. There is
to be no advance of a general character
at present, outside of grain and grain pro-
ducts, but some special lines of freight
will be advanced to a point corresponding
to that reached about ten years ago.

The Hundred Year Club

A Hundred Year Club has been
organized. The object is to study
the conditions which promote lon
gevlty. After much study and re
search its members must arrive at
the conclusion that the only posi-
BILE way to obtain long glife is to take
the best care of the health. With
all due respect, we present the study
of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters for
consideration. This is a tonic for
one of the most vital organs of life
the stomach. For fifty years it
has cured constipation, Indigestion,
dyspepsia, biliousness, weak hver
and kidneys, 1t makes strong stom-
achs, rich red blood, and steady Wig
orous nerves, If you accept a sub
stitute don't expect it to cure like
Hostetters Bitters. See that a
private Revenue Stamp covers the
neck of the bottle.

The Hon. Junius Jordan was pres

the forenoon. We have listened to
many Fourth of July orators, and
to other speakers on such occasions
as this one, but it has never, before,
been our pleasure to hear such a
charming, instructive and eloquent
speech as the one which Mr.. Jordan
delivered yesterday,
The subject OF the address was
Arkansas and the education of the
youth of the state; the speaker
paid a high tribute to the little old
chool house with the spring hard
by, and dwelt on the memories that
cluster around it; he said that Ar
kansas had made more adyancem mt
in the cause of education in the past
ten years than any other state in
the union; that the school fund OF
the state was all owned by the state,
so that when we pay interest on
this fund, it comes right back to us
in the form of per capita allow
ance; he also showed up the State
University in a most Aattering man
uer by announcing that the young
men who are graduated there are
securing the highest and best posi-
tionS throughout the state auu ma
tion, In closing, he urged the citi
zens of Miller county to do their ut
most to give their children the v@,
best educational advantages so tina
they may be able to stand in th
firing line in the conflict of life. Ii

Mr.. Jordan has been urged to ente

The Fire Companies Hard Lines,

At an early hour last night some
one turned in an alarm of fire and
the two companies resi- sponded quick
lv without knowing in what direc-
ton to take. The east side hre
company started west on Broad
street, and when opposite the Ben
iamin hardware store the gray
horse slipped and sprained his
shoulder About this time the
west side fire company came hylng
down State street and pulled up at
the break down of the east side fire
company to lend assistance, At
this point it was learned that the
alarm was a false one.
The east side fire company sent
back to the stable and got another
horse and the injured horse was
led back and his shoulder pulled
in place.
This furry had hardly passed be-
fore another alarm was sent in from
Eighth and Hazel streets. The
east side fire company responded
but before it could get water on
the building it was consumed. The
west side fire company did not res
pond with its usual alertnesS, the
cause being one of the horses get
ting away and out on the street
and was hard to catch. The
animal was caught, however, and
harnessed up and the boys went
out in time to see the glowing Goals
