Fury. fireman, who sued the St. Louis X San Fran cisco railway and secured a verdict awarding him S16,000 damages for injuries received in a collision near Van Buren in 1897. caused by the failure of an operator to deliver an order, held that the operator and the fireman are not fellow-servants ac- cording to the Arkansas statute Judge Thayer, who gave the opin- ion, found that they were not fel- low servants and were not working together for common purpose, their work being of a different char acter and they were only brought together casually. This was agreed to by Judge Caldwell, but Judge Sanborn gave a dissenting opinion, holding that the operator and fire. man were fellow-servants. according to the statutes of Arkansas, the terms department and service being interchangeable and having the same meaning and that the judgment should be reversed.

Our Zinc Mines.

Tn an interview with Washing ton. D. C.. reporter Benjamin kel- Ter, of Lafayette, speaks enthusias- tically of the prospect for the deyel, opment of the mineral resources of this state '"The zine mines of Ar kansas, said MT. Keller, 'have been among the best paying industries of the state of Arkansas for many years past and the recent discover ies of gold and copper will have the effect of greatly increasing the value of the mineral output of the state.
 As 1 understand it, and 1 have re- ceved my information from one of the mine owners, the ore that is be- ing mined will yield $10 per ton in gold and about the same in copper. Of course, this is not great yield. but as 1t will only cost about $1.25 per ton to mine the ore. 1t can read ilv be seen that the mines will pay. It seems that the discovery of the value of the ore was made in this city. A quantity was sent to one of the mine owners who resides here. and for some reason or other he took a piece of the rock to an assayer. The discovery of gold was made during the test, and since then fab ulous prices have been offered for some of the zine mines. One man. who paid $25,ooo for a piece of mining land only few months ago, was offered $25O,OO0 for it just a few days after The mines are all controlled by rich corporations, how ever. and it is not probable that there will be any rush to uncover new Klondikes by pemiless miners and prospectors.

The Arkansas Building.

The Arkansas building at the Lou isiana Purchase Exposition will De one of the most imposing ln the group of state buildings on Art Hll in the Worlds Fair site. The plans for the building have been approved by the director of works of the expo sition, and it will be the first state building to be constructed. The plans call for building l5O by loo feet, with two wings 15 feet each, with broad, sweeping verandas on all sides, where visitors from Ark ansas at the fair can rest III the shade and enjoy the cooling breezeS that will sweep across them, for the Arkansas building will occupy a site on the highest elevation in the far grounds, and from 1t can be had panoramic view of all the other eN- position buildings. The building is to be constructed exclusively ot Arkansas material and labor, and will be ready to set up when 1t reach es St. Louis.
 The main entrance to the build ing will lead to a reception hall 2o by 30 feet. The floor is to be ot native wood, with an inlaid border ot light and dark wood contrasting; large rug or fountain in the cen- ter. The walls are to be tinted m dark, rich empire green, with a deep border frieze about three feet, decorated by hand with boughs of apple blossoms, the state floral en- blem, glimpses of sky and cloud showing through. Facing the en- trance it is proposed to have a hand some marble mantlepiece of Eureka Springs onyx, light color and high ly polished.

Against the City.

In the case of the Home Water Company against the city of Little Rock, Federal Judge Trieber, in very elaborate opinion, ovcrruled the demurrer of the city to the com- plaint, and required it to answer or plead within sixty days, thus neces- sltating trial of the case on it's merit. The court in effect held that it has jurisdiction of the sub iect matter, and that the allegations Tn the complaint, if substantiated by proofs, entities the guarantee com pany to that part of the relief pray ed for, which asks for an order re- stralnlng the city from annulling its contract with the water company and declaring the water franchise forfeited. The effect of Judge Triebers ruling is that, while the United States court has jurisdiction to determine the question of the right of the city of Little Rock to forfeit the water company's fran chlse, the question of the city's in debtedness for hvdrant rentals will have to be determined in the state courts and by a jury.

Wife Suspected.

The police of Little Rock have ar rested two persons on suspicion of having murdered Green Thompson, a wealthy colored citizen. Thomp- sons son, who was taken into custody the morning the crime was discoy- cred, was released, there being no evidence against him. The parties now in custody are W. s. Caswell and Thompson's wife Caswell is charged with the murder and the widow with alleged complicity. The officers have been working on the theory that the murder was com mited by some one in Thompson $ house, when he returned home from the church sociable about 1 o'clock at night. Mrs Thompson spent the evening at the home of Caswell who accompanied her home about 10 o'clock. She says the man did not go into the house, but the police will try to prove that he did enter and was not seen to come out. Cas- well is a musician, who was often seen in the accused woman's com pany. Mrs. Thompson is much younger than her murdered hus- band, and was his second wife.
