Court Decides Bills are Laws.

From decision by Circuit Judge Edward w. Wingfeld, in Pulaski county it will probably follow that all house bills of the last legislature which were not signed by Gov. Davis in the legal time after the adjournment of the legislature will become laws.
 The decision was in the case of the Arkansas Historical Com mittee against Auditor Monroe for mandamus to compel the Auditor to issue warrants for S1, 200, the amount of the appropria- tion by the legislature for the complication of roster of Ark ansas troops in the confederate army.
 This bill was vetoed by the governor on the 20th day after the close of the session, Sundays excepted.
 This was a test case and as the court holds this bill is law, though ostensibly vetoed by the governor in an omnibus proclamation, it follows that the other 70 house bills are laws, though also vetoed.
 The decision does not affect senate bills as they were never in the governors possession.
 Among the senate bills which probably are not laws, though signed by the governor on the last day after he had announced that all had failed, is the Deaf Mute appropriation bill

A Very Close Call.

"I stuck to my engine, al though every joint ached and every nerve was racked with pain," writes c. w. Bellamy, a locomotive fireman, of Burling- ton, Iowa. ''I was weak and pale, without any appetite and all run down. As was about to give up, I got a bottle of Electric Bitters and after taking it, I felt as we'll as I ever did in my life.o Weak, sickly, run down people always gain new life, strength and vigor from their use.

A Very Remarkable Decrease.

Tax lodging is a fine art at Eureka Springs, if we are to accept the statement of the Times Echo of that city. That journal publishes a statement of the tax values in that city, which discloses @ remarkable state of affairs. It says:
 Notwithstanding the steady Improvements during the past twelve years, and the constant addition to the taxable value of real estate in the city, the aggre- gate decline in assessed valuation during that period, as will be seen by the figures below, reach ed the enormous sum of one mil- lion three hundred thousand dol lars, and the average annual loss amounted to one hundred and two thousand and ninety one dollars. Comparison is made with the year 1889, in which year the improvement districts were created.

Very Remarkable Cure of DiarrhOea

"About six years ago for the first time in my life I had a sudden and severe attack of diarrhoea," says Mrs. Alice Miller, of Mor- gan, Texas. ''I got temporary relief, but it came back again and again, and for six long years 1 have suffered more misery and agony than I can tell. It was worse than death. My husband spent hundreds of dollars for physicians prescriptions and treatment without avail. Finally we moved to Bosque county, our present home, and one day I happened to see an advertisement of ChamberlaiE's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy with a testimonial of man who had been cured by it. The case was so similar to my own that con- cluded to to try the remedy.

Southwestern Summer School.

Special Correspondents:
 All that has been said of the Southwestern Summer School is certainly true. It is all that could be hoped for the first year.
 The attendance was smaller than was expected the first week, but there are being enrolled now from six to eight daily.
 The small attendance is mostly due to the fact that the teachers of Northwest Arkansas do not realize what they are missing in remaining away. Itis not mere ly a normal, but a school such as all teachers are longing for and saving their earnings to go away to attend but now do not realize the thing longed for has come to them.
 The devotional exercises begin promptly at eight o'clock at ttie Christian church, after which there is twenty minutes for gen. eral exercises before going to the high school building to take up the regular work at 8:30.
 There are four rooms of the building occupied and five branches in the regular course, each recitation lasting forty five minutes.
 You are allowed your own selection to take any branch from Trigonometry, French, Lat in and Greek to any of the com- mon school branches.
 Special mention should be made of the class in school management conducted by Prof. T. E. Sanders, which is undoubt- edly going to help the teachers in doing away with some of the most perplexing problems of the school room.
 Rev. Chas. H. Miller of St.. Louis did not begin his lectures Monday night as expected but will lecture Wednesday night on "The Old South, the New South and the Race Question"
 Monday night Mrs. Vincent will give an intellectual treat, her subject being "Good Literature" 7"
 July 1st, the second of a series of entertainments will be given by the Chautauqua students. These entertainments are ar- ranged in such a way that each night is carefully planned for by the board of directors.
 l am sorry to say Carroll coun- ty is not nearly so we'll represent ed as is Texas, Indian Territory and Oklahoma. The eastern district teachers must wake up and see what they are missing.

BUILDING SITE IS LOCATED
Place Selected for Green Forests Proposed New School House.

After deliberating long and carefully considering the interest of all concerned, the public school board has selected a site for the new school building which, 1t is hoped, will soon be under way in Green Forest.
 The location decided upon is on the west side of Phillips avenue, something oyer qual ter of a mile due south of the public square. The amount of land ex- pected to be included in the school site contains little more than two acres, exclusive of the streets and alley. A street 80 feet wide runs on both the east and south sides, a 50- foot street on the north and a 16-foot alley on the west.
 Of course, the location will not please all. Such would be im- possible, but when fully advised of the facts connected with the task of selecting a site no unpre | diced person can hel p but see the wisdom of the board in makin 2 this choice.
 There were but two other places to be considered from an econom- ical standpoint. The one Was the present school house location and the other the tract belonging to the district in the Carter ad- dition. The former, is admitted by all, is entirely too small for necessary y-grounds and the danger of fire too hazardous for a building of such cost and i'm portance. The Carter addition location, aside from being quite as inconvenient in point of dis tance as the place chosen, has become in accessible for such a purpose, owing to the fact that the streets and alleys around it have all except one been cancel ed and the land being used for agricultural purposes.
 The site selected will cost the district S200 which is the smallest sum for which an equally sui.- able place and sufficient amount of ground could have been se- cured.
 The building, as it will stand in this location, will occupy com manding position from all parts of town, being in full view of trains for quite long distance which is by no means a small consideration as an advertise ment for the educational influ~ ences of our town.

WHAT THE ssFOURTHo COSTS
Celebration of Our Independence
 an Expensive Proceeding.

Celebration of Our Independence
 an Expensive Proceeding.
 The "Glorious Fourth" is with us again and with it has doubtless come the usual number casualties, incident to the customs and man. ners the people have of celebrat- ing.
 The cost, the destruction re- sulting from the consumption of powder on the fourth day of July as expressed patriotism is thus estimated by Geo. c. Ives of Hartford, Wis. The estimate is based on years of investigation and are interesting as well as instructive:
 Last year there were thirty one killed and 2,649 injured from the following causes:
 Fire works, S41.
 Gunpowder, 546.
 Firearms, 443.
 Toy pistols, 442.
 Cannons. 368.
 Runaways, z9.
 The year 1902 was not excep- tional; each succeeding year finds on July 5 a similar list of accidents, fatal or less serious. From this MT. Ives argues that steps should be taken to prevent Fourth of July celebrations that result so disastrously. He classi- fled the reasons why reform is so much needed, as follows:
 1. It sanctions an appalling loss of life and limb.
 2. It causes immense annoy ance and positive suffering to millions of sick and nervous people.
 3. It worries a whole nation of anxious mothers to the verge of distraction from early dawn till midnight.
 4. 1t occasions fearful loss of property.
 5. It wastes about 5000, ,O00 of good money annually.
 s. It frightens horses and cre- ates runaways.
 ', It violates rights that are recognized by the police and courts of justice, on every day of the year except this one, because it disturbs the peace.
 8. Because storekeepers lack proper knowledge of the deadly nature of the many articles which they handle, as they are sold but once a year.
 9. Because it is an undeni- able fact that consumers are even more ignorant of hazardous goods being placed on the market un- der different names.
 10. It creates a false impress sion among our youth, of the true spirit of the Declaration of Independence which is to main tain for all citizens of our country the right of the "pursuit of hap piness.' .''

Blackheads, pimples, greesy faces and muddy complexions, which are so common among women, especially girls at cer- tain age, destroying beauty, dis figuring and making repulsive features, which would otherwise appear attractive and refined, indicate that the liver is out of order. An occasional dose of Heroine will cleanse the bowels, regulate the liver and so establish a clear, healthy complexion. soc at Poynor & Morrow's.
