STATE CONVICT FARM.
Resolution for Visit by Legislature
 Defeated 9th Doings.

Little Rock, Jan. 24.-Ye Yesterday was state convict farm day in the house most of the proceedings in that body being devoted to consideration of mat ters bearing upon the farm. Senator Butts resolution inviting Attorney General Murphy to address the legis- lature on the farm purchase, also in viting Gov. Davis to be present and participate in ihe discussion, was in definitely postponed, 52 to 39 Sena- Huddlestun's concurrent resolution for visit of inspection by the legis- lature to the farm was defeated. A resolution by Representative Keith, | requesting the members of the peni- tentiary board ct..er than the govern or to furnish to the house full state ment touching the farm purchase, met the same fate.
 Representative Butler introduced an anti cigarette bill.
 The house adopted resolution pro- viding for renovating the house and laying a new carpet.
 The house passed Senator Logan's resolution asking the Arkansas dele gation in congress to take necessary action to secure the return to Arkan- sas of the Cherokee parallelogram embracing about 1000, ,0OO acres.
 House day in the senate yielded a volume of business on measures sent in from the lower branch Apart from that, the most important matter was the bill to create the position of county school uperiutendent, amend ments suggested by the committee ou education being considered. This is the bill providing for county suoerin- tendents of the public schools, defin ing his duties and fixing the salary. The senate adjourned at noon until Monday morning.
 House bill no 5 (Apple), fixing the salaries of the county officers of Jack son county was taken up in the senate and read twice and referred to the judiciary committee, who announced that they would meet Wednesday night, January 2S, to consider this bill.
 House bill No. 6 (Chrisp), repeating an act prohibiting chasing deer with dogs in certain townships in White and Jackson counties was also read twice and referred to the committee on agriculture.

ADVERTISING DOCTORS.

The Texas eclectic board of medical examiners has refused to issue to Dr. w. A. Betts certificate, says the Memphis Morning News, without which he cannot practice medicine in that State. The certificate is with held upon the ground that the doctor has violated the ethics of the medical profession by advertising in the news papers.
 Dr. Betts has diploma from the Cincinnati Medical College, and it is not denied that he is qualified to prac- tice his profession so far as his ability goes. The doctor has entered into proceedings before the courts to com pei the State board to issue him the certificate, contending he has violated no law in advertising his business in the newspapers. The question raised is most interesting one, and is pro- voking great deal of comment
 The newspapers of Texas generally are standing up to the doctor in the fight, not only because they think the doctor is right, but becanse a good deal of their advertising patronage comes from doctors who set forth their specialties in the public prints. Commenting on the case the Atlanta Constitution says:
 "It is freely predicted that the Supreme Court of Texas will decide in favor of the contention of Dr. Betts and he will get his certificate. That, of course, will not admit him to the professional circle of the doctors who yet hold to the old code of ethics that medical men must keep out of the newspapers. They are a voluntary society and can make rules of associa- ton to suit themselves. But the world in general cares very little for such fine drawn professional ethics and is prone to look into the news papers for cures of dyspepsia, catarrh and rheumatism quite as complacently as they look there for clothing, beef and amusement offerings. The news paper is the town crier for the peo- pie and for live people on both sides of the street."

KIDNAPPED HER CHILDREN.

Eureka Springs, Ark, Jan. 24.- William Morgan, whose two children were kidnapped near Springfield, Mo-, by his former wife and taken to St. Louis in boys clothing, where they are now held by the police, lives here. He wired the chief of police to hold mother and children until his arrival there. Judge c. G. White, who was Mrs. Morgan's attorney when she separated from her husband here sev- eral years ago, says that he was pres ent wher they signed an agreement dividing the property and children. Mrs. Morgan took Abeline, then three, and went to Hartshorne, l. T., to five. She afterward returned and kidnapped Ida, then seven, and also took her to Hartshorne, but later surrendered her to Mr. Morgan, who followed. Nor gan soon afterward secured a divorce, remarked, and placed Ida, the older girl, with his parents near Springfield, Mo. Mrs. Morgan then went to Springfield to live. She had free access to his parents home, seven miles distant, frequently took Abeline and spent week at a time on the farm. A month ago Morgan states she gave Emily to his parents to raise, saying that she did l ot want the children separated. At midnight Thursday she made the fourteen mile drive, stole the children from their bed, dressed them in boys clothes and drove to Springfield, where she took a train to St. Louis.

SURVEY ABOUT COMPLETE.

The surveyors are about to complete the permanent location on the last section of the last section of the White River road. It has required a great deal of careful work to ascertain the best route from Lakes Ferry, Ark, to the mouth of Roark creek, in Fancy county, Mo. At least ten preliminary lines have been run within the last eight months ill the affort to obtain a practical 1 per cent. The route definitely decided upon is by way of Turkey Creek and Omaha, Ark. This line will call for two tunnels of at least 2000 feet each, one at the head of Turkey creek, at the edge of Fancy county, the other few miles beyond, through the ridge near Omaha.
 A considerable tract of land has been purchased close to Omaha for town site purposes, as it is expected that branch line will be built south from that point toward Fort Smith. s. F. Shaw is in charge of the corps between Lakes Ferry and Roark Creek, and announces the perman- ent location from the former point to Keener, in Boone county, and that construction will begin immediately at Lakes Ferry A bridge spans the White river 1900 feet long, The west end will face a mountain through which tunnel thousand feet long will be driven and which will open directly upon another bridge spanning the Fallen Ash. Between Lakes Fer ry, Ark, and Galena, Mo-, will be four tunnels, aggregating 1000 feet in length, and many deep cuts. There will be score of bridges and much trestle work. The bridge crossing White river in Fancy county at the mouth of Turkey creek will be the most romantic on the line. It will be 1000 feet long and span the river 75 feet above low water mark. The scenery at this point is magnificent. Men and teams are being assembled at the various tunnel sites and it is expected that the work on the Railey's creek tunnel will begin in the next two weeks.

DITTO NEWPORT.

It is difficult to turn a deaf ear to misfortune, real or pretended, but Batesville must have gotten a repu- tation abroad for unusual generosity to mendicants. Not a day passes that one is not called upon one or more times to contribute to the ne- cessites or wants of persons not of our own sections, but entire strangers here. The thing is becoming irksome to the most charitable and tender hearted. If these people are really as unfortunate as they pretend, our peo- pie are being called upon to bear the burdens that should be borne by other communities. Begging. is forbidden by law in most cities and we begin to see that it is necessary for the pro- lection of citizens.-Bee.

THE DROP WAS FATAL.
Colored Boy Died from Kangarooing
 and His Own Imprudence.

Ft. Smith, Jan. 24.-Charles John son, colored boy, died at the hospital Friday night as the result of a kanga roo court proceeding and the coro- ner's jury has decided that his death was all accident. From the testimony adduced at the coroner's inquest held yesterday by Justice Fry it seems that the employees at Goodman's stables have been in the habit of putting in their spare time in having fun with one another and in this fun the white and black employees colaborated. Friday week they were having a ses- sion of the court and had pulled a boy who is known by the euphoneous cognomen of "Coyote," but who in home life is "Kid" Green, up to the second floor by means of a block and tackle used to elevate feed to the feed room located under the buggy floor While the hanging was taking place the Johnson boy entered and it was suggested that he be made victim He started to run and was chased and caught by Grant Brooks, a colored boy and brought back to the stable The rope was tied under his arms and he was hoisted up. When he was pulled through the opening to the feed room he said that he was going to cut the rope and was told not to do so, but he pulled out pocket knife and cut the rope attached to the up- per pulley and fell to the ground striking on his shoulder and the right side of his head. He became uncons- cious and was laid in one of the stalls and subsequently, taken into the office and, as he did not get any better Mr. Goodman, who then made his ap- pearance, sent for Dr. Foltz who, after examining the boy, ordered him re- moved to the hospital where he died, as stated.
 The testimony of all witnesses was to the effect that it was the habit of the stable boys to string one another up, and even to go out into the street and run boys in for the purpose of engaging in the doubtful amusement. As there was no evidence of any in- tention of doing the boy any harm and as he himself was responsible for the fall which caused his death, the jury returned verdict of accidental death. Dr. Foltz testified that the boys right shoulder was dislocated and that he died from concussion of the brain.

WALNUT RIDGE
 FURNISHES SURPRISE.

Dr. Ed Ponder of Walnut Ridge and Miss Nora Duffey of Batesville formed the parties to surprise wedding Sat urday evening in the former city. They have long been sweethearts, but even intimate friends did not know that planning had progressed thus far, when news of the plighting of their troth at the Methodist parsonage, Rev. MT. Fisackerly officiating. came suddenly to their ears.
 The feeling of surprise was quickly turned however into one of congratu- lation, as both bride and groom are very popular and their many friends were cordial in wishes for their. hap piness and prosperity.

LICENSE GRANTED.

Jonesborro, Jan. 22-On the seventh day of October, 1902, there was peti- ton filed in the Craighead county court before Judge J. F. Rains, praying that license for the sale of liquor be not granted by the court, and there being objections made to the petition by people who wanted license the case was continued and trial set for Jan uary 5, 1903, since which date the matter has been before the court in a long drawn trial. It was finally settled yesterday by the prohibit tionists withdrawing their petition. The legal battle was fought with all the determination and force that could be commanded by both sides.
 The taking of evidence was finished Tuesday noon and court was adjourn ed until yesterday morning to give the attorneys time to clear the deck for the arguments in the case, but when court opened Hon. J. D. Block, who represented the prohibitionists, arose and stated that they would withdraw the petition, which virtually conceded their defeat and ended the case.
 There were five saloon licenses granted today, two or three of which are now open and doing business, having prepared everything before t,. ase was ended.
 The fight has been bitter one and all classes are glad it has ended.

KEEL'S ANTI TRUST BILL.
Passed by the House-Gov. Davis Vetoes the Newspaper and Stamp
 Act-Other Doings.

Little Rock, Jan. 27-The house yes terday, by vote of 93 to 8, passed the Keel anti trust bill, which is an exact copy of the King bill pending in the senate, which received the en- dorsement of the last Democratic state convention.
 The house adopted concurrent resolution directing thorough inves tigation by the penitentiary committee of the convict farm purchase and of the penitentiary management, and minister oaths and to send for per sons and papers.
 A number of new bills were pre- sented in both branches.
 The senate spent much of the day in discussing the Pinnix bill creating the office of county school superin- tendent.
 The governor sent a message to the senate, vetoing the newspaper and stamps act, taking the view that it was unconstitutional, not having re- ceived two thirds majority.
 The governor, in explaining why he vetoed the bill, said that it was un- constitutional, and that it tended to increase the compensation of the members of the assembly by the mem bers now in the session; that it was neither necessary nor contingent expense, but, on the other hand, was an unnecessary expense, and was pre- meditated. He quoted at length from an opinion rendered by Senator Clarke while he was attorney general on this same bill and quoted the endorsement of Attorney General Murphy of this opinion. The governor further ob iected to the bill because it cut out the country papers from participation probable cost as being about $10,00O, and said he thought this amount could be spent with a great deal more bene- fit to the people of the state.
 The governor submitted reply to the senate's request for copies of the written resignations, if any, of Capitol Commissioners Eagle and Martin and Worlds Fair Commissioners Whitta ker, Cohen and Crump.
 The proceedings in both bodies were interesting and drew many visitors to the galleries.
