MOUNTED LETTER CARRIER.
Will be Enjoyed by the Residents of
 Hob0ken and the West End.

Assistant Postmaster Fred c. Furth has received the following letter from acting First Assistant Postmaster General Geo. M. Allen, of tae Postal Department. It is self explanatory and reads:
 'In accordance with your request of the 17th inst you are hereby authorized to expend the sum of $200, per annum, from October Is, next, for horse hire in your free delivery service, to enable you to mount one of your carriers.
 You are also authorized to ex tend the route of this carrier to such additional territory as be will be able to serve without exceeding the fortyeight hour limit. You will be careful, however, not to include any territory which has not compiled with all the requirements for the establishment of the service.
 Mir. Furth informed a Graphic reporter that N. w. Webb, who now carrys the West End afoot, will be tue mounted carrier. He will take in all the territory built up by the Sawyer & Austin lum Der company and its employees and a portion of the Eastern of part Pine Bluff known as Hoboken. The mounted carrier will give better and more prompt service and will doubtless be appreciated.
 The re quirements spoken of in the letter are numbering houses, nam ing streets, etc, which request has been made of the people living in the new territory.
 MT. Furth has done much to lm prove the poste flee service here and has succeeded in every undertaking. He recently asked for an electric stamping machine and it was grant ed by the department. The motor of the machine has already arrived.

THEY WANT LAWS THE ARKANSAS UNDERTAK- FRS ARE AT THE HEAD OF
 A GOOD MOVEMENT.
VISITS ATTY GENERAL.
Secretary Holderness Interviewed and Urges Next Legislature
 to Act Promptly.

Mr. Harry I. Holderness, seere tary of the Arkansas Funeral Direc- tors Association, returned Thursday afternoon from g. visit to Little Rock, where he went to consult with Attorney General Jeff Davis on the subject of adopting rules and regulations governing the transpor- tation of dead bodies, to conform with rules in effect in other states aud those adopted by the National Funeral Directors Association and tte American Baggage Agents Association.
 The attorney general gave it out as bis oninlon that the statutes of the state, as they now stand, do not justify such action. He adv sed, :, however, that necessary legislation be enacted at the coming session of the Arkansas legislature and ex- pressed himself as being in hearty accord with, at the same time made known bis approval of the move ment.
 The rules referred to have strict provisions for the proper prepara. tion Of dead bodies. especially those of contagious ard infectious dis. eases and require that an undertak- CT pass rigid and successful exam Lation in em balmipg and sanitation before he be granted license by the State Board of Health.
 At the present time there is DO law requiring an undertaken to se- cure license when he engages ia business in Arkansas, and, as the license system is in effect in a ma. jority of the states and territories, it is urgently necessary that Arkan- sas follow in their ot-steps and en. act a law embracing those require. ments. As conditions exist in Ar. kansas just now, an undertaken or ary other person, whether he be competent or not, eau ship a cad body. But, owing to the license existing in adjoining states, the re- mains are liable to a hold-up after crossing the Arkansas boundary line
 We regret very much that we were unable 10 have the rules ge into effect at once,' sald Mr. Hol. derness to Graphic reporter, who asked his opinion of the matter, as the railr sads all over the coun try are preparing to Iut into effect similar rules and regulations. ] he rules which we wish to adopt are beneficial to the undertakers, the railroads and especially the public, from a sanitary point of view. We hope the next general assembly will take up the matter and carry It through to success.

KANSAS PROHIBITION.


Topeka, Kan, April 9.--The State
Temperance union has rejected the
proposal to adopt the North Dakota
temperance commissioners bill. The
subject after careful consideration
was voted to be unwise and impracti-
cable, and briefly disposed of by the
following resolution: Resolved,
That the executive committee, with
out condemning the proposition for a
temperance commissioner, is not pre-
pared at this time to indorse such
proposition
The executive committee says: "For
ten years the prohibitory law of Kan
sas was strictly cnforced--demonst
ting that it can be enforced; and if
the present revival of sentiment con-
tinues the law will again, within two
years, be as strictly enforced in ev-
cry part of the state. There are
some particulars wherein the present
law can be amended, and thereby
made more effective. To cover these
points the following measures were
proposed by the executive committee
Mt its last meeting:
"a provision authorizing the county
attorney to subpoena Witnesses be
fore justices of the peace and city
judges for the purpose of examining
them with reference to suspected vi
| oiations of the law.
THAT the possession of liquor and
sale fixtures and of federal liquor IL
censes should be prima facie evidence
of the violation of the nuisance act.
"That the S25 to the county attor-
ney to be collected as part of the
costs be restored.
THAT some more practical meas
ure be adopted to cover the cases OF
local and travelling agents of brew
cries and distilleries"
