Will Take Up Passenger Rates.

The state railroad commission has
given notice that at a meeting to be
held October 13 it will take up the
matter of regulating through pas
senger rates in which short lines are
concerned. The act of 1903 pro-
yides that in all cases where there is
by physical connection of railroads a
continuous line of railway eommu-
nication between railroad stations
within this state, whether such sta
tons be on railroads operated by
one and the same company or corpo-
ration or on railroads operated by
different and Independent compa-
MES or corporations, it shall be the
duty of the railroad commission of
the state to and from such stations
to make just and reasonable rates of
freight, express and passenger traf-
fic, to be observed by all persons,
companies or corporations, operat-
ing any railroad or engaged in
transporting persons or property as
express or freight in this state.

Given Damages for killing of Husband.

The United States court of APP
peals, sitting in Denver, has affirm
ed a case of general interest that
was appealed from this state. It
is the case of George and Neal Ruth
erford, father and son, against Ell
len, James, William G. and Russell
Foster. The suit was begun by Mrs.
Foster, widow, and her minor chill
dren to recover damages from the
Rutherfords for the alleged killing
of Mrs. Fosters husband in hide
pendence county in February, 1901,
and was tried in the United States
circuit court for the Eastern dis
trict of Arkansas at Batesville. The
suit was based upon Lord Camp
bells act, which was enacted in the
state of Arkansas early in the his
tory Of the state, and is one of the
statutes of the state. 1t provided
that when one man wrongfully kills
another he shall be held responsible
to damages by the relatives of the
deceased. The defense sought to
escape the responsibility by show
ing that some time previous to the
fatal assault George Rutherford
had declined to have any further
contest with the deceased, but the
trouble was taken up by the son,
who is said to have killed Foster.
The lower court rendered a verdict
in favor of the widow and children,
and this was affirmed by the court
Of appeals.

Famous Murder Trial.

In the case of Mart Powell,
charged with the killing of VIII
liam Lovejoy, in Clay county, a
jury at Paragould returned a YER
dict of guilty of murder in the first
degree and assessed the death penal
ty. This trial was one of the most
sensational in the criminal history
of the state. A few weeks ago a
grand jury in Clay county indicted
Powell on a charge of murder in
the second degree. Circuit Judge
Allen Hughes required the Jurors
to reconsider their action. They re-
turned to court with another indict-
ment for the same degree. There
upon Judge Hughes exercised his
prerogative and dismissed the jul
rors. He ordered another grand
jury summoned, and the seosnd
body, after examining into the kill,
ing of Lovejoy, returned an indict-
ment on the charge of murder in
the first degree.

The monument erected by the
Daughters of the Confederacy to
the memory of the Confederate dead
whose remains lie in the national
cemetery at Fort Smith, was un-
yelled on the 10th inst. The monu-
ment is made up of a magnificent
white marble shaft thirty-fye and a
half feet in height, and surmounted
by the figure of a Confederate sol
der eight and half feet high. The
shaft rests upon pedestal of gran
lite which bears the inscription :
Erected by the Verona Jefferson
Davis Chapter, q. d. c. Half
way up the shaft is the inscription
''Lest we forget" The monument
stands in the county courthouse
yard instead of in the national GEM
etery, in which are the unmarked
graves of about $50 unknown Con-
federate soldiers killed in the civil
war, or who died from some one OF
the scourges of that war. 1t was
the original intention to place the
monument in TIE national cemetery,
but this idea had to be abandoned
because the present secretary of wal
refused to give his consent unless

omitted. Both Federal and Con-
federate veterans took part in the
ceremonies at the unwilling.
