Of Interest to Druggists.

The commissioner of internal rev enue. MT. Yerkes, has answered an inquiry from MT. F. W. Tucker, col lector at Little Rock, relative to druggists and others who sell soda water drinks or similar beverages to which any distilled spirits, wine or compounds are added. Some of the confectioners in Little Rock have been selling for favoring, claiming that they are sold as solids, and the question is are such dealers liable to tax as liquor dealers when they add spirits or wine to ice cream or other frozen preparations? The collector is informed that they are not, and such beverages do not come within the scope of the treasury de- partment's instructions as to taxing those dealing in liquors.

Killing at Clarksville.

Claude Kemp, a young miner, was shot and instantly killed at C.arksville by Dee Ladd, another miner. Both the men went to Clarksville prepared for trouble
 Their first meeting occurred in front of Hendricks hardware store, when young Kemp walked up to Ladd, slapped him in the face, 'exclaiming, "You insulted my father, did you ?" Ladd turned and walked away with out saying a word. Both parties armed themselves, and some thirty minutes later, while young Kemp was leisurely walking down the street in front of the Clarksville bank, Ladd suddenly appeared be- hind him, and when some fifteen feet away from young Kemp ran up to him, placed the muzzle of a pistol to his back and fired. Young Kemp never looked around, but staggered into the bank door and fell dead.

Lake Under Bond.

E. H. Lake, of the Alphin-Lake Cotton Company and th2 Fl Dorado Compress, was before thc United States court at Little Pock for sev- eral days on petition of involun- tary bankruptcy, undergoing exami- nation as to the condition of affairs of the firm. Attorneys for the rail- road, in their examination of Lake, brought out facts of the loose man. ner in which the cotton company was managed. Mr. Lake did not produce the books of the Fl Dorado compress, declaring he knew noth- ing of their whereabouts. Nine thousand bales of cotton supposed to have been part of the Al phin- Lake assets are said to he missing This is the cotton for which sup posed forged compress receipts were issued, representing a value of $355,00O. The witness evaded di- rect answers to most of the ques- tions put to him, hence but little in formation of benefit to creditors was elicited. He was placed under $5,000 bond by the court for his further appearance.
