NORTH AND SOUTH
 ARKANSAS RAILWAY.
Captain Welch and Other Par ties. Granted Charter for Randolph County Road to
 Ravenden Springs.

The state board of railway in corporators Saturday granted a charter to the North & South Ar kansas Railroad Company for the purpose of constructing a line from or near Ravenden, Law renee county, to the north line of Randolph county, Arkansas, at | or near Elm Store, a distance of twenty miles.
 The capital stock of the corpo- ration is $100,0O0, the estimated actual cost of constructing and equipping the road. The direct ors are: R. D. Welch, Ravenden Springs; H. F. Sloan, Imboden; G. c. Dent, Annieville; Serene Stanley, Koshkonong, Mo; A. N. Wylie, Ravenden Springs; M. H. Long, Imboden.
 The commissioners to open the subscription books are M. F, Blackwell, J. B. Duvall, H. B. Hull, R. T. Fry and B. E. Pickett of Ravenden Springs. The capi- tai stock is $100, ,000, of which l S20, GOO has been subscribed and S1, GOO paid in.
 Mir. Dent says the road is an assured fact. A contract has been let for grading the first ten miles, to begin January 1. He says it is the intention to build north to St. Louis, crossing the Frisco at Salem, and south tc Little Rock before he stops.
 A meeting of the board was held this forenoon and the char ter granted.
 The proposed road will go tC Ravenden Springs and enable the promoters of that resort to de velop it to an equality with Eure- ka Springs. Capt. R. D. Welch is the owner of the springs, and has done much toward develop ing the resort. Its only draw back has been the lack of railway facilities.

REASONS FOR REQUEST.
Statement of Attorney Stayton Before State Board of Rail- way Incorporators In
 Asking Charter
 Extensions.

The application for an exten- sion of the charter of the Morn- ing Star Railway, which was favorably acted upon by the State Board of Railway Incorporators was presented by Hon. J. M. Stayton of this city, who gave ,-the following grounds for his re- quest:
 The company has had under way the negotiation for a sale of it's bonds for some time and had about completed the same when the depression in the market caused it to temporarily abandon an effort to finance it's railway. It has every reason to believe that it will be able to build one tenth of it's road before the ex- piration of the six months for which it asks an extension.
 The charter was granted June 5, 1901, and one extension of twelve months had already been granted, which expired today. The company is capitalized at S3, ,0O0,000, and it proposes to build a line of railway from New port to Melville, a distance of 125 miles. The statute provides that one-tenth of the proposed road must be built within one year from the granting of the charter and that an extension of eighteen months may be al- lowed upon a proper showing. ! MT. Stayton also made an ap- Aplication for an extension of the lcharter of the Newport Bridge, Melt 6 Terminal Company, but 2s deferred by the board unffi Sa later date. The petition asked that the charter be extend ed for eighteen months from Oc- tober 28, 1903, for the following $ reasons:
 ''The company has been un- able to finance it's road, owing to the recent depression in the mar ket. It believes it will be able to sell it's bonds and complete its road within the time stated" <"

CONDEMNS DAVIS
 PARDON RECORD.

The White River Conference of the M. E. church, South, on Saturday while in session at Walnut Ridge adopted by unani- nous vote the following resolu- tion condemnatory of the gov ernor's abuse of the pardoning power:
 We have noticed with deep est humiliation what we regard as an abuse of the executive power of our state in the par dons granted for the violation of temperance laws"

TWO LITTLE WAITS.

One of the best attractions at the opera house this season and probably the very best was The Two Little Waifs," another of Lincoln J. Carter s stirring pro- ductions. Only a fair house was out, but Saturday night stands are ever and everywhere below tke average.
 Two little ones, aged 6 and g years, played prominent parts with an ease, grace and stage presence which bespeaks for them brilliant careers before the footlights. They were prodigies, not childish as children natu- rally are, nor old people as they often unnaturally are upon the stage and in their sweet and catchy singing of Tell Me Pret- ty Maiden" brought down the house, to which encore they re- sponded with Under the Bam- boo Tree. 7 The youngest, aptly named Sunshine, could rival old Sol himself in the radiance of her countenance. Her percep- tion must have been keen, for in her face was nirrored a nature capable of deep feeling and quickly responsive to its sur roundings. T"
 The cast included too many good actors to play favorites, there were no weddings and the house which witnessed their pre- sentation went away highly de lighted. The stage settings were not of the usual order, but rather elaborate for Newport, and the scene in the first act, a lawn party at a beautiful home on the Hudson, in which the lights o1 the city are seen in the back. ground and the moon rises above the Eastern hills, is quite en- trancing.
 Such melodramas are ofter lridiculed as playing straight al the gallery gods, but being rural we rather like them occasionally when presented capably. O1 course the small boy hisses the villain and stamps his approval of every heroic act, but in this matter of fact age when every 1 thing sentimental is being cut tout" for business, emotiona scenes such as abound in tTwC Little Waifs' better man anC 4 the world.

COURT HAD DOG CASE.
Judgment Against Railroad Com pany for $2OO for Killing
 Bloodhound.

In St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern Railroad Company vs. Philpot the Arkansas supreme court affirmed a judgment of the Jefferson circuit court for. S200 for the killing of a bloodhound by one of the appellant compa- ny's trains.
 The evidence showed that the dog was a very well trained and valuable bloodhound and that while she was trailing a man she ran onto the track of the com pany and therealong for some Distance; that the engineer and Fireman could have seen her by tke exercise of reasonable care I s7gn time to have vaVoided> striking
 her; that the animal was so in-
 Bent upon following the trail that
 he did not appear to notice the train at all.
 The railroad company sought a Reversal of the judgment upon 1.-the theory that the owner of the ldog was guilty of contributory negligence in allowing the dog to trail along the tracks of the company and in such places of Idanger, but the court held that ! there was no evidence tending to Igestablish this defense and affirm < ed the judgment.
