Deiinquent Tax List.

For some mysterious reason the legislature four years ago repealed the law requiring the puplicAJiun of the delinquent tax list ot the respective cGuntl-s. ris said by some that this law was repealed iu the interest of economy others intimate that 1t was done ln the interest of real estate spcculsturs. In elJher ease it wa. wrong, to both the delinquent tax payer, as well as the purchaser at the dellnqu-uU sale, or the innocent pur- cnAser- f'um such parties. The pro- csdure as adopted Is m violation uf d Fundamental principle of law. The Constitution of the United States pro vides that no one shall De deprived of property except Jy que process of law. There Is A maxim of law that every one has d rlght to his day ln court.
 lt IS contrary tO established prin- ciples of law that any one can oe ae- prived of his property, especially real property, without b sing notified by personal service, or oy pubncatIun Of summons. which, by the courts, Is accepted as service. When property Is assessed for taxing purposes, the tax levy becomes lieu upon the same thus Assessed and failure to pay the tax within the tune required oy law Tenders It delinquent. A process of court should be necessary to subject the property Jo sale, to satisfy said lien, that process resulting in a judg- ment uuly made and entered. This wound bo duu process of law, If the paroles interested ln the tlJIe ui sdid properIy nau been regularly notified oy summons, porsondIiy served, or Dy hau their day in court. The puDilca- Uiun Of d delinquent tax list Is nothing less than a summons and juus sment entered by 4 court after suun puUnca- tiun h made m accordance wiIh law, and saie ndue the rcunuer would De

This IS the opinion uf more than one verssu In thls special branch uf the law con cernIng the transfer of tltle to real property We believe lU IS correct. We further believe that there I5 4 vasJ amount of litigation in store for those who have purchased property sold on account of non payment oi takes, where the delinquent tax for which it Was sold had not been published for Jne information of the owners of the property. This Is u matter tle legie- lature should look into and correct, that mons are deprived of tbeIr prop erty, save by que process of law.

Ahlstedt's Goat.

The city marshal's duties are greatly augmented these days in keeping the streets clear of cattle and hogs, and that official is about the hardest worked man In town. Contractor Ahlstedt owns goat of the daredevil breed aud this goat takes chances and risks ot which no other animal would ever cream. Strange to say, Billy knows tue peace officer just as we'll as miscre- ants of the biped family, and his sa- gaeity in eluding the clutches of the law is even greater than many evil. doers who are not affected by the stock law. Ahlstedt's goat goes out on the commons to regale himself with clothes. lines and some neighbours Sunday shirt. taking on tin can and little waste paper for the sake of his digestive or gans. but he always keeps sharp eve out for Wolf, and when that function ary IS sighted this willy creature im- meciately hies himself to place of safety on the back porch of the Ahl. stedt home. where he bleats in terror until the marshal retires from inc neig hborhood.

rlIDSUrlrIER CARNIVAL.
Little Rock Summer Festivities to
 Surpass Previous Efforts.

It is a well.known fact that since the Board of Trade of Little Rock through its entertainment commit tee, took in charge tie giving of the great civic celebrations in that city, the very best in the South have been given there. There is nothing of the speculative charac. ter about them. They are oper- ated to entertain tie people of the state, and to give them a brief sea. son of high-class entertainment at moderate cost, thereby enabling the public in visiting the capital to combine pleasure with business.
 This season the midsummer car nival, which is certainly to surpass all previous efforts, will take place the first week in July, and there will be pleasure galore, enjoyment for the masses, entertainment de- lightful, inspiring and harmless.
 On one of the days there will be a magnificent street parade, the floats, scores of them, built in Chi eago, representing history, litera ture and mythology.
 On another day there will be a contest for a trophy between two of the cracker jack teams of the Southern Baseball League, Shreve- port and Little Rock.
 On Thursday, Friday and Satur- day there will be given a realistic imitation of the naval battle of Santiago, showing the maneuver- ing of the batteships, the destruc- ton of the Spanish fleet and the sinking of the Mcrnmac. The ships are models, and while the shells are not loaded as deadly missiles, they make just as much noise, and the whole thing will be just as realistic as the most patri. otic could desire.
 There will be reduced rates. on all railroads. For detail informa- ton, copies of hotel directory. etc., write to the secretary of the Board of Trade, Little Rock, Ark.
