This mob and rioting business
deserves to be handled severely and
it does US good to read of lot OF
rioters getting their heads broken as
it happens sometimes. In Chicago
last week, bowling mob Of
5000 strikers who were destroy.
ing property and raising the devil
generally, undertook to whip the
police, who were trying to preserve
order, and assaulted them with
stones, bricks, clubs and all kinds
of insulting epithets, till the blue
coats turned on them with their
clubs and left over a score lying on
the streets with broken heads and
arrested a lot more and took them
to Jail. The trouble was caused by
the fool Union who were trying to
run their business for a company.
The question of wages and hours
had been agreed upon by both sides,
but, the Union demanded that the
company should sign an agreement
not to employ anyone but Union
men, which they very properly re.
fused to do.

The mere price of good book
is not worthy of being compared
with its influence. Many person
has made his first start in life and
been led on to success by means of
the books read in youth. He is
brought into harmony with the
ideals of the writer. His horizon
broadens, his point of view changes,

Monument to a liIinc Man.

The greatest excitement prevails
(says our Belfast correspondent
among the Nationalists of the City of
Armagh by the news that Hugh Car
berry, a man who was supposed to be
dead, is still alive in Pretoria. Car
berry, who is a native of Armagh, was
one of the small band of Irishmen who
fought against their country during
the late Boer war. He was attached
to the First Transvaal Irish Brigade,
better known as Col. McBride's Bri-
gade, and it was reported that he had
been killed at the battle Of MOdder-
sprut, on Oct. 80, 1899. When the
news of the supposed death reached
Armagh the Nationalists resolved to
erect a mon 'ment to his memory, and
for this purpose the sum of 3125 was
collected. The monument was duly
placed in the Catholic cemetery on
a commanding site, and in June of last
year it was unveiled by Mr.. Michael
Davitt. Rumors have lately been rife
that Carberry was alive, but the mat
ter has now been placed beyond doubt
by the receipt of letters from two
Armagh men now residing in the
Transvaal who saw him in Pretoria

velops that invaluable layer OF
subcutaneous fat, which, while 1t en-
hances the Jolly" appearance OF the
lads and the shapeliness OF the maid
ems, assists materially in economy OF
clothing. Thus in their frigid cline,
once in their skin tent, the whole
family will divest themselves OF every
stitch of clothing, unembarrassed by
the fact that so many families share
the tent with them. Sociability is
early developed, when ones next door
neighbor on each side is only sepa-
rated by an imaginary line between
the deerskin you sleep on and the one
he does. The winter deerskin serves
as bed and bedding at night and as
parlor furniture in the day. Com

wise, when he doesn't, all go hungry

His mother, Harriet Duckett, a free

Meeting of State Bankers

Little Rock, April 1S.-After one Of
the most successful meetings in it's
history the Arkansas Bankers associa-
ton adjourned yesterday to meet
again in Little Rock on the third
Thursday in April, 1904.
Yesterday. the second day of the
convention. was most interesting.
there being several speakers OF ma
tional prominence. Among them
were Charles G. Dawes former comm
troller OF the currency under Presl'
dent Mckinley, now president of the
Central Trust company, of Chicago;
Charles O. Austin, vice president of
the National Bank of North America,
Chicago.
Judge Thomas B. Martin, of Little
Rock, opened the special order of the
morning session. which was the dis
cussion of Bills of Lading and Com
press and Warehouse Receipts as Sc
curity for Loans.
Judge Martin outlined the three le-
gal phases of the bill of lading as a
receipt contract and a imminent
of title. He held that it was a negoti-
able instrument and believed that the
courts would SO hold He said that Ar
kansas law ON bills of lading was
f,,, o,,I to- int nCtS h1It
that the best safeguard Of the banker
in transactions where bills of lading
entered was the bankers own common
business sense. and that the only con-
clusion to be reached in determining
the value of such Instruments as Sc
curty was to determine the solvency
of the concern issuing them.
Mr.. Dawes was then introduced by
the president and delivered an adj
dress on Asset Currency and Branch
Banking"
AS speaker Mr. Dawes is clear and
incisive. giving at once the impression
of man who is familiar with his sub
ject. He began by complimenting Ar
kansas on it's progress in matters finan-
citl. which, he said, had gone un-
| noticed in the larger centers. In the
discussion of his subject Mr.. Dawes
said that there was now no use for
the existence of government asset
| notes Many reforms in the treasury
| system had been proposed but most
| of them We're too complex to be prac-
! ticable What the country needed was
a simple change from the present sys-
! tenn. which had in it the remnant of
| the system inaugurated by Alexander
| Hamilton. The real object of curren-
cy should be the charging of the pur-
| chasing power of the people at large.
| He quoted some statistics as to amount
| of business done by draft, against
bank credits. Legislation which might
| in any way interfere with this condi-
| ton would be harmful There were re-
strictions upon the movement OF
money in the east when the moving OF
the crops began. which should be re-
moved There was elasticity in the

present financial system, but prepara-
tions should be made for removing
some of the restrictions in time of
Panic
The speaker touched with some
scorn on the currency question of Can
ada as an example for the United
States, saying that it had never been
tested as had the system in use here.
Mr.. Dawes did not favor branch bank
ing which would have a tendency to
run the Independent small banks out
of existence There We're now in the
United States 1900 banks, whose ex-
istence as independents was highly
beneficial to the industrial develop
ment of the country. Branch banks
would drive out others because of their
ability to operate at a less expense.
He said that this question resolved
itself into the moot point of controll-
ing combinations of capital and elm
mating individual effort.
The nominating committee then re-
ported on the following officers for the
ensuing year. ALL of whom We're elect
ed by the association unanimously:
President-Capt w. J. Showers,
president of the Bank of Morrilton.
