Railroad Csmmissiou Takes an Appeal.
Miss Mary Hall, of Little Rock, has
been selected as sponsor for the Arkan-
sas division United Sons of Confeder-
ate Veterans, at the Memphis reunion
The railroad commission of Arkan.
sas has appealed from the United
States circuit court in the matter of
granting a perpetual injunction, the
effect of which is to nullify all Joint
rates heretofore made by the commits
sion. The commission has issued the
following important announcement in
the premises:
In the case of the Arkansas Cen
tral Railway Company VS.. The Rail-
road Commission of Arkansas, April
l3, 1901, the circuit court of the Unit
ed States for the Western division of
the Eastern district of Arkansas held
that the railroad commission of Ar
kansas was not vested by law with
power to make joint ratas for connect
ing lines of railroad in this state, and
made an order perpetually enjoining
the commission from exercising such
pretended authority, thereby nullify-
ing all joint rates heretofore made by
the commission. Several other cases
by other railroads against the COM
mission, involving the same point,
were disposed of by this ruling favor
able to roads.
The commission has appealed the
case. and, by agreement, the other
cases are to abide the Judgment of the
appellate court in the Arkansas Gen.
tral case.
The effect of the Judgment is to
suspend, pending the appeal, the joint
rate provided for in the commission
standard freight distance tariff, Ark,
effective April 10, 1900. Hereafter,
where shipments pass over two or
more Independent. lines of railroads
the through rate will be the sum of
the locals of the roads in the absence
of traffic arrangements between the
roads hauling the same. Mark you,
in no case can the through rate ex-
ceed the sum Of the locals; it may be
less when so provided for by traffic
agreements between the roads.
I'm the interest of shippers the
commission would suggest that they
hold their expense bills and other
evidences of through rates paid by
them pending the appeal of said case,
for, il the case should be reversed,
the roads will have to refund to them
all through rates in excess of the joint
rate provided for by the commissions S
aforesaid tariff

ROguish Ravens,

The raven of southern Europe is a
bold fellow-not unlike his cousin, the
crow. Some notices of the bird, given
by an English traveller in Corsica.
offer amusing proof of this. He says:
"a youth whom l employed to carry
my camera could never look on ravens
with any equanimity, for he had suf-
fered much from their thievish impu-
dence when sent to the bush to gather
firewood. On one oeca sion he lost his
dinner, a loaf of bread wrapped in
napkin, although he was working close
to the spot where he had laid it, and
had turned his back for only min
ute. But the most objectionable in
suit he had ever received happened
on day when he was out gathering
wood. AS he was STOPPING down to
bind bundle of fagots, raven sud-
denly swooped from behind, lifted the
cap from his head, and flew away with
it to lofty crag, from which she ut
tered croaks of triumph. The cap
was subsequently seen lined with
straw and serving for a nest

Up to the Pardon Hoard.

st. Paul, Mimi, Nay Sat the reg
ular meeting of the board of man
ayers of state prison, at Saltwater,
unanimous action was taken in favor
of paroling the Younger boys, now
serving life sentences. Before the
parole can be effective, all three of
the members of the state pardon
board must approve it, and the action
will be submitted to that body as
soon as possible. This is in accord
ance with the new parole law which
allows the parole of life prisoners
after about twenty-four years inn
prisonment, being thirty-fve years.
less time gained by good behavior.
Paroles usually are granted by the
prison managers alone, but in the
case of life prisoners unanimous APP
proval of the board of pardons is al
SO necessary, and such paroled life
prisoners can not leave the state.
The pardon board does not meet
regularly until July, but special
meeting may be called if the mem
bers of the board consider it neces-
Sary.

Information.

The following circular letter is
being sent out by the state pension
board:
Dear Sir-For the information of all
parties concerned, the state pension
board created under and by virtue of
the provisions of act No. 43 of the gen
eral assembly of 1901. composed of
the secretary of state. auditor of state
and eommandant of the state encamp-
ment of the United ex-Confederate
Veterans, has construed the new pen
sion law to mean that all persons ex-
pecting to receive a pension, whether
now on the pension roll or not. must
make application, proof of service.
etc, under the provisions of the new
law.
Also that the "a mill tax provided
by said act will not be available until
1902 and the amount available for pro
rata for the present year will be only
the amount arising from the former
levy of IA mill. which is now being
collected for the year 1900. Hence
the pro rata for this year will be
small
1t is very important that the post
office address of each applicant should
be stated upon the application. 1t is
also important that county pension
boards be very careful to carry out
the full requirements of the law in
passing upon all applications, as the
state board is desirous that all men
who are entitled to share the relief
SO generously provided for them shall
receive their full amounts. when the
same is available.
