Report on Hot Spring. Re.erv.tion.

The annual report of Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock on the Hot Springs reservation shows a large in crease in the patronage of this famous health resort During the year 65 900 visitors were at the springs and the total number of baths given 673,679. The title to the hot springs was orig nally acquired through the Louisiana Purchase of April 30, 1903, and still further strengthened by the treaty made with the Quapaw Indians, Aug ust 24, 1918, which ceded to the Unted States all lands south of the Arkansas river.
 The hot water issues from about forty-eight springs on the west side and base of Hot Springs mountain. These springs are mostly inclosed for the purpose of protecting them from pollution. as well as to permit of the conveyance of the water therefrom to the several bath houses and the i'm pounding reservoir. The actual amount of water issuing from the springs is not under control A con seryatiye estimate, however, of the outflow of the springs may be stated to be S50,000 gallons daily.

Killed His Father.

John Nassano, aged 9, shot and killed his father, aged 60, at their home in Little Rock. the weapon used being a shotgun loaded with buckshot There were no witnesses to the trag- edy, which was the result of the crazed condition of young Nassano from over indulgence in liquor. When officers arrived they found young Nassano standing over tse body of his father with shotgun in his hand. He turn ed upon the officers and threatened them with instant death if they did not leave him alone. After some per suasion he consented to give up his gun and to go quietly with the officers. After his confinement in the jail he was quiet, and would only say that he was justified in killing his father and would produce evidence to that effect. While being taken to jail he stated that several others were implicated in the deed and that some of them held the victim while he shot him. The police place no confidence in the story and attribute it 10 the crazed condi- tion of the man at the time. The murdered man was a good citizen, and his son had caused him a great deal of trouble from drinking.

VETERINARIANS PUZZLED.
A Strange Disease Devnstatin nR the Swine Herds in Boone
 County, Missouri

Columbia. Mo-. Dec. "A strange disease, which is killing hogs in Boone county at an alarming rate, is puzzling the veterinarians. Hogs are dying in every part of the county and no cure has been found.
 Fat hogs are attacked with wheeE- ing cough, which can be heard at . great distance; they grow thin and finally die few days after the dis ease sets in. The disease appears to be contagious, as it is spreading with the rapidity of cholera.
 On examination the lungs of the dead hogs were found to be full of small white worms, about the size of a sewing thread, and from one-quar- ter to sevcn-eighths of an inch long. The lungs are practically filled with these worms, and in some cases the worms attain much greater size.

Statute of Limitation Defined

A case of general interest was re gently decided by the state supreme court relating to the statute of linn itation. In November. 1899, Mrs F. F. Enrich of Little Rock. in taking hold of a guy wire belonging to the street car company. charged with electricity, received a severe shock. She brought suit for damages against the street car company, alleging that it negligently allowed its guy wire to hang so near the ground that person passing on the sidewalk would come in contact herewith She recovered judgment in the Pulaski circuit court In about thirteen months after the accident her husband brought suit against the same company for the injuries to his wife and for medical bills, etc. The de- fendant interposed a plea of statute of limitation of one year. The circuit judge sustained this plea. From this ruling Enrich appealed to the supreme court which held that the lower court errer in ruling that the one-year stat ute of limitation does not apply to negligence.

The description of the Little Rock and Southern, the larger route, as con- tained in the articles of incorporation, is as follows: Making connection with the Choctaw between Benton and the Iron Mountain crossing, near Traskwood, Saline county, running thence directly south to Princeton. From Princeton a direct southeasterly course is taken, crossing the Cotton Belt either at Harlow or at Thorn. ton, where short branch line runs to the southeast; thence in a slight ly southeasterly course to Hampton. the county seat of Calhoun county. which at present has no railroad con nection. At Hampton the road will branch into two lines, one going direct ly south to Alexandria. La, and the other southeast to Vicksburg On the latter the first town of importance will be Crossett, Bradley county. to the southeast of Hampton. From Crossett the line will be run in a continued southeasterly direction across the state line into Louisiana, and thence to the west side of the river, opposite Vicksburg.
