The repeal of the war revenue
stamp tax puts $4,000 annually into
the pockets of the Chamberlain Me-
dicine Co., of Des Moines.
The Memorial University trustees
at Mason City have succeeded in estab-
fishing medical preparatory school
aud have secured the pledges of lee
lures and instruction from 10 of the
physicians and surgeons of this city
and Clear Lake gratis for the work.
The course will be two years course
and will count one year in the larger
colleges of medicine. 1t is the inten-
ton to start similar preparatory
school in dentisty.
1t is told of the late P. D. Armour
that on one occasion he made pres
ent of suit of clothes to each of his
employees in a certain department.
Each man was told that he might
order his own suit, and send the bill
to Mr.. Armour, no restriction being
made as to price. In order to avail
himself fully of this liberality, one
young man ordered evening clothes
costing $50 When the bill was sent
in Mr.. Armour sent for the clerk to
vouch for its accuracy, and finding
it right, assured the man it would be
paid. AS the clerk was leaving, how
ever, Mr.. Armour said to him: 81
wish to say to you that 1 have packed

Here is list of questions for the
wide-awake boy:
You can see any day white horse
but did you ever see a white colt?
How many different kinds of trees
grow in your neighborhood. and what
are they good for? Why does horse
eat grass backward and a COW forward?
Why does hop vine grow one way
and bean vine the other? Where
should chimney be the larger, at the
top or at the bottom and why. Can
you tell why horse when tethered
with rope always unravels it while
COW always twists it into kinky
knot? How old must grape vine be
before it begins to bear? Can you tell
why leaves turn upside down just be-
fore rain? What wood will bear the
greatest weight before breaking?
A shocking but singular accident
occurred near Mason City Thursday
evening about shutdown when George
Dewey Mann, the little son of Engi-
neer Robert Mann of the electric pow
er plant had his neck broken. The
little son, nearly four years old,
was picking currants while his older
brother with neighboring boy by the
name of Carter were playing ball on
the green just near the currant bushes.
The neighbor was batting a base ball
and Georges brother was catching the
flies when one, liner more forceful
than the rest came along and struck
George just below the heart dealing a
veritable solar plexus blow which in
itself would undoubtedly have caus-
ed death. The boy being relaxed at
the time was evidently so startled by
the blow that he jerked his head back
kward so quickly that he broke his
neck at about the third cervical verte-
bra and death was instantaneous.

VERDICT WAS FARCE.
Bishop Hoss Denounced Light Penalty In Wallis Case Trial Necessary
 For Rev. J. w. Jernigan,

Paragould Ark, Decemcer 5.-A sensation was sprung at yesterdays session of the White River conference in the case of Rev. E. H. Wallis, who was found guilty on four counts by the committee appointed to try him. He was suspended for thirty days. His alleged offenses were failure to fill pulpit on Sunday, spending the day socially, and telling the presiding elder he went to funeral. On an other Sabbath, it was alleged, he neg lected an appointment to be at mar riage, and told member of the church that he forgot the appointment, but wrote to young lady member of the church that he went to Memphis to get his throat treated Again, it was further charged, he told the elder he had collected S10 subscribed to the church, when in fact he had borrowed $15 from the party who subscribed. He paid the $15 to the lender and then, it was claimed, told the elder he had to pay $10 back. The other charge was similar to these.
 After the verdict was read Bishop Hoss denounced it as farce. If Rev. Wallis was guilty as charged, he said he should be expelled from the con- 1 ference instead of being treated as leniently as he.was.
 The third day's session of the White river annual conference of the Meth odist Episcopal Church, South, was opened at o'clock with religious services by Bishop Hoss, who read and expounded in a most vivid man ner the incident of the prayer of the pharisee and publican. Dr. J. E. Godbey of the Arkansas Methodist was introduced to the conference.
 The conference committee appoint ed to investigate the character of Rev. J. F. Jernigan on a charge of de- serting his work reported trial nec- essary, and the committee for trial, w. B. Rick (chairman) and N. E. Skinner (secretary), were appointed by the Bishop. Rev Fred Little was appointed to prosecute the case anc 1 Rev M. M. Smith to defend.
 Revs. w. A. Lindsay, Robt A Robertson, F. P. Jernigan and l. D Mcclure were received into full con H nectfon in the conference.
 It is thought that the business Q the conference will be finished to morrow, and that appointments vii be read Sunday night at the close o the services.

TIME EXTENSION GRANTED
Attorney Stayton of Morning Star Railroad Secures One Year Ex- tension for Construction of
 Line.

The state board of railway incorpor- ators Friday extended the time within which the Morning Star Railway Company is required to build one tenth of it's estimated length, from the time it would have expired Friday December 5, to December 5, 1903. The matter was presented by Joseph M. Stayton of Newport, attorney for the road. He speaks very favorably of the building of the line, which is to be constructed from Newport by the Morning Star mines in Marion county, south of White river, to Yellville. The original charter was granted June 5, 1901, eighteen months being specified as the limit of the time for the construction of the line total distance of 125 miles. The total cost is estimated at $3,0O0,0O0, which is the amount of the capital stock. The road would pass through the counties of Marion, Searcy, Baxter, Stone, In- dependence and Jackson. Caleb H.. Jackson of New York is the principal shareholder, holding 2,245 shares of the stock.
 Mir. Stayton said to a "Democrat" reporter: "The road will be built and work will commence upon it as early next spring as possible. It is an independent line. Newport has already subscribed bonus of $10,000, and will also give the right of way and terminal facilities. This is about all that can be said about the matter at this time."

NEW FRISCO MAP.

The new map of the Frisco Railroad system has just been issued. The last Frisco map showed new lines as projected between Soper and Ard more, I. T., Lawton, l. T., and Quan- nah, Tex; Choctaw, Okla, and Vern- on, Tex; Brownwood and San An tonic, Tex. Brady and Spofford, Tex.
 In Arkansas the new map shows two extensions under way, one be- tween Hoxie and Newport and the other between St. Joe and Leslie. These extensions are being built to- ward each other to give short route between Memphis and Eureka Springs.
 A most important feature of the map is that it shows that the Frisco is working for New Orleans entrance. It shows the Louisiana and Arkansas Railroad, which now extends rom Hope, Ark, south to Winfield, La, as projected to reach both New Orleans and Natchez. The Natchez route is through Wlnn and Concordia parishes, Louisiana, from Winfield. The New Orleans route is south from Winfield to Alexandria, and thence southeast, paralleling the Texas and Pacific, or Gould line, to Gretna, opposite New Orleans.

ORGANIZED THIEVERY
Nine Negroes Under Arrest Charged With Stealing Freight Prior to And After it's Delivery at De-
 yaot
pot.

There seems to have been an or ganized band of negroes, who pill laged freight at the depots, judging from the mysterious disappearance of such packages of tobacco, snuff, com densed milk and articles of this kind, that would command a ready sale. Nine arrests have been made within the past two days by officers of the law for offenses of this nature.
 Four of the negroes arrested Satur- day morning held responsible posi- tions, where such stealing could be carried on. They are Wm. Patterson, driver for D. w. and A. G. Anderson; Henry Stanton, driver for American Grocer Company; Will Bowden, driver for 0. M. Bowen and John Tyler, roustabout at the Choctaw de- pot. All of this lot were placed in jail, only one being aUaa> to furnish bond, Henry Stanton.
 w. M. Lacks and Clayton Jenkins were also jailed charged with selling the stolen property, the trial of the former together with that of Wm, Patterson being up before Justice Guy Smith Saturday.
 BALLARD MAKES FURTHER ARRESTS.

DENIES STORY OF DINING.
General Wright Says Roosevelt Did Not Break Bread With Booker
 Washington.

Gen. Marcus J. Wright, formerly a highly honored citizen of Tennessee, but now of Washington D. o., a gal lant ex- Confederate soldier and rela- tive of Gov. Luke E. Wright, at the Wright reception in Memphis recent ly, pronounces the statement that Roosevelt dined Booker Washington as false and gives this version of the affair
 1.-The whole truth of the matter is this President Roosevelt had been anxious for some time to obtain a truthful light on the situation in the South. Finally, at the suggestion of number of Southern and Northern men of both great political parties, he sent message to Booker Wash ington asking him to come to the capital for conference regarding the negro, his needs and his capabilities. Washington came, and the confer ence, which was started in the presi- dents executive office and was changed to his private office because of repeated interruptions, continued for five hours.
 s'In the midst of the conference be- tween the president and Washington, lunch was sent in to the chief execu- tive of the nation. Desiring to con tinue the conversation, and rather than lose the time necessary for Washington to go to lunch, President Roosevelt thereupon ordered that \ lunch be served to the negro educator in the same room.
 ssNow this was all there was to that story. Washington did not dine at the White House table, did not break bread with the Presidents wife and daughter, and was in no sense a guest upon terms of social equality o--- Commercial Appeal.
