 The Com pahy had retired for the night and had been asleep only an hour when one of the occupants awoke and found their special car to be afre. He gave the alarm and all the artists were aroused just In time to get blankets or quilts and wrap them around themselves. They all sought safety at each end of the car. The bell cord had burn ed away and they were unable to signal the engineer to stop the train, which was moving at speed of about 50 miles an hour.
 The car burned down to the trucks and when the train pulled into the next station, it con tained a most de- spondent looking crowd of passen- gers. They wore blankets for clothes and their money, scenery and make. up costumes were partially destroy ed.

DECIDED BY JUDGE ELLIOTT THURSDAY AFTERNOONS
 INJUNCTION GRANTED.
AND THE FIRST DECISION
Practically Settles all the Suits Pending a Hearing-Much
 Interest Manifested.

1ulGIESl MdIlIlGSlCu.
 Act 42, as amended by act 113 of the last legislature, ereatings the Plum Bayon Leyee District, was recently tbe cause of many suits praying iniunctions in the Jefferson county's Chancery Court. The first suit instituted to test the eonstith. tionality of the act was filed by at. torneys White & Altheimer, in be half of Thomas H. Collier, ". c. Morgan, l. C. O'Neal, ". T. Lytle, ]. 0. Roberts and others; against Sebastinan Geisreiter, 0 P. Robin son and s A. Wiggins, who compose tbe Board of Directors of the Plum Bayon Leyee District, and H. A. Mccoy, sheriff and ex-officio collec- tor of Jefferson county.
 The Plum Bayou Levee District embraces Eagle. Ashley and Young townships, of Pulaski county; Wil- Hams, Lafayette and Greenwood townships, of Lonoke county; Boil var, Dudley Lake, Dunnington, Rob erts, Pastoria and Plum Bayou townships in Jefferson county.
 The proposed leyee was to be about thirty miles long, running Lear the rifer, and was to cost the taxpayers about $l00.000. Fos the purpose of raising this sum, an an nual tax of one cent on the dollar was assessed against all the district except laads in Ashley and Young townships, in Pulaski county and Williams township in Lonoke eoun ty, in which the tax was 10 be only three mills or the dollar.
 The plaintiffs state that no part of their land was by the terms of the said acts included in the said leYee district, because their lands are sev. eral miles from the boundry lines of the district, but that the tax has been assessed against their lands, aud unless it is paid, their lands will be forfeited to the state.
 They also avert that the act of the legislature is unconstitutional and void for the reason that the lands in Ashley and Young townships of Pulaski and in Williams townships in Lonoke are assessed only three mills on the dollar, which is a dls- crimination against the plaintiffs, who have to pay ten mills.
 They also say that the act is ineq- uitable from the fact that their lands, which would be benefited little or not at all by the levee, as they are above overflow, are taxed as much as tbose that are subject to annual overhows and would reap all the benefits. Further, that all the lands which would receive all the benefit are swamp lands which are now almost worthless aLd are assessed at only $1 an acre. These lands would be increased thirty or forty times in value, while the burden to them would be very light. The lands of these plaintiffs are not subject to overflow, and are worth many times The value of the swamp lands and are assessed at their full value, thus making the burden Of improving other peoples lands fall almost entirely on the plaintiffs. They add that they had no voice in the appointment of the inspectors, who are to manage the building of the levee.
 Similar suits were brought by other attorneys of this city foi persons owning property in the same district, and much interest

wh :. to Do Until the Doctor Arrives.

It is very hard to stand idly by and see our dear ones suffer while awaiting the arrival of the doctor. An Albany tN. Y.) dairyman called at drug store there for doctor to come and see his child. then very sick with croup. Not finding the doctor in, he left word for him to come at once on his return. He also bought a bottle of Chamberlain E Cough Remedy, which he hoped would give some relief uDtii the doctor should arrive. In few hours he returned, saying the doctor need not come, as the child was much better. The druggist. Mir. otto Scholz, says the family has since cerecommended Cham berlain's Cough Remedy to their neighbors and friends until he has constant demand for it from that part of the country.

ILLNESS PROVED FATAL.
Ed zintgraff Dies at the Capital
 Hotel In Little Rock.

The death of Ed Zintgraff, which occurred Thursday morning in Lit tie Rock. takes from the southern insurance field one of it's brightest t minds. Mir. Zintgraff was about 90 years old when he died. His home was Dallas, Texas. and his remains were taken there for interment. He was well known in Pine Bluff, in every insurance agency of which he was represented. aud had settled many fire losses here. His nature was characterized by generosity; his manner, by cordial geniality; his mind, by quick perception and rare sagacity. In him were wrapped those el-ments of manhood which call forth the admiration of both friend and foe, and it is doubtful if he possessed any of the latter class.
 
 What is the matter with the AL dermanic aspirants. We have re- ceivel no announcements as yet. It is about time they were announcing. Let us hear from you. The only way to receive proper recognition from the voters of the City is to place your announcement in the columns of tue Graphic.

STRUCK IT RICE
When They Needed It Bad.

.
when two months old baby re-
fuses to nurse and cannot digest any Of
the baby foods or cows milk prepared
in different ways, we must do something
or lose the baby. That was the condi-
ton of our little one about year and a
half ago.
I'VE tried every baby food on the
market, beside the cows milk but Moth
ing seemed to agree with him. He suf-
fered from Indigestion. until by the
time he was nine months old, he had
grown so weak and emaciated that We
didn't think he could live. At last his
stomach refused to take anything. and
for three days the little fellow was act
ually starving for something he could
digest.
II happened to have box Of Grape
Nuts In the house and getting n tea
spoonful, poured Il little hot water over
1t, letting the food stand few minutes,
then gave the baby the brown water
which had the strength of the Grape
Nuts in 1t. lie could take but two
spoonsful at time and then rest Il
while.
His stomach retained the food and
after one days use OF the Grape-N Nuts In
this way. his bowels were right. for the
first time in six months. l continued to
feed him the water from the Grape
Nuts and 4 little cream and later on the
softered food Itself and he steadily i'm
proved. his little body and limbs begin
ming to get round and plump, and by
the time he was Il year old. he was ns
large again as when nine months old.
At Is months. he weighed % pounds,
and now, at IS months. he Is q great,
fat. jolly baby. climbing and going ev-
erywherc. full OF fun, rosy checks and
bright eyes.
During all this time his food has
been GrapeNuts; just the water ut first,
then later on he had the food itself. He
is the best advertisement Grape-Nuts
could have in this town, for every one
knew his condition and no one thought
he could possibly live. We give all the
praise to this most valuable food, and
never lose an opportunity TO recommend
1t TO persons suffering from indigestion
and lack of nourshment." Mrs. C. d.
Johnston. Greenfield, Ind.
Actual proof is better than all theory.
yet It Is well to know that Grape Nuts
food Is made scientifically and made
for n purpose. The most powerful Gle
ments in wheat and barley are used and
so prepared ns to furnish the human
body with those food elements. predi-
