 Miss Maude Pillow. aged IA, had both legs cut off above the knees. She was taken to a sani- tarium and died in an hour.
 The other four occupants of the surrey were badly bruised, but none of them seriously hurt.
 Tie Pughs reside at Mande- vile, seven miles east of here, and were en route home from spending the day with relatives in town when the accident took place. The home of the Pillows is at Hornbeck, La., near Shreveport. The two dead girls are neices of Mrs. Pugh and had arrived here only last night for a visit to the latter. Mrs. Pugh and Mrs. Pillow are daughters of Judge Thomas Orr. one of the best known and most prominent Republican leaders o1 Southwest Arkansas.

COTTON s MAKING
 IA RAPID GROWTH.
Crop Repol t for the Past Week is Encodraging and Shows Muchi Progress in All
 the Staples.

The crop report for the week just closed, sent out by the gov ernrnent bureau, follows:
 The temperature during the week was-nearly seasonal, with warm days and cool nights. The rainfall was in excess of present requirements over most of the state and as a result crops are grassy in many sections. A high wind on the 18th did considera- bic damage to corn and orchards in some localities.
 Cotton IS making good growth. The plant is still small for the season, but is healthy. Chop. ping is about completed and blooms are reported in some sec. tions.
 Corn is about all laid by. It is making very favorable growth and the indications are for a full crop.
 | Oats and wheat harvest has been retarded somewhat by the rains, but where this work has been carried on the yields se cured have generally been yer, satisfactory.
 The indications are for gooe crops of apples and peaches o. lexcellent quality.

 Displays in Tailors' Windows.

1t has usually been thought that rubber was about the only substance which would render cloth waterproof, although oil silk is coated with another one, a prep aration of linseed oil. However, "showerproof" cloth is known as that which repels water very largely and yet remains porous, appearing in all respects like or. diary wetable cloth. The methods of treatment of such cloth are often trade secrets, and even the patent specifications do not di. vulge all that must be done to achieve a satisfactory result.
 "Petroleum," a German period ical, says that the oil to which that paper owes its name is one of the most, successful showerproot preparations. 1t says that the only reliable shower proof is ob. tained by fmpregnating the cloth outside and in with a fine film of waxes- PHraff1n wax is the staple, but owing to it's low melting point it is not fit for use alone. The com position used is so alloyed with other waxes and chemicals that at the boiling point of water the wax stands firm. A rather elaborate preparatory form must be gone through, and after the wax has been applied finishing process is required. The Interesting fact re. mains that it is petroleum that keeps out the wet. Tn tailors' win. dows in Germany many aquatic displays have been arranged to- show that cloth can mystertously be made to exhibit the power of the ducks back.

Little Rock, July 6. -Passen- geztramc from this city to the World $ Fair continues to in crease. 1t the opening of the fair the Iron Mountain put on some of the finest equipped trains in the southwest to handle the traffic which was sure.to re- suit. Extra long trains were provided. New engines were purchased to draw these trains and all arrangements made to accommodate the enormous amount of business which this road expected.
 All these calculations have been set at naught. These trains with their extra ars are unable tl carry all who desire to visit TSt. Louis.
 On Saturday night two mor' sleepers were added to the fas night train and again Sunda! night. Last night this was th' case a third time in succession
 All plans for caring for tn crowds who are going to the fai are upset, and every train zoe out of Union station loaded t the guards, with every bert taken. Even the local train which stop at almost ever station between this city an St. Louis come in with every ca taxed to the utmost.

PHYSICAL CONSCIOUSNESS.
The Brain In Certain States of Actir. ity Can Act on the Organic.
 Functions.

"Cenesthesia" is the name given to the general feeling we have of the existence of our own bodies, says the London Globe. This sense of existence is chiefly owing to accidental and local impress sions awakening or stimulating, the sensibility, but it is completed by a certain obyerse conscious ness of the exercise of the organic functions, for example, respira.. ton. It is by this sensation that the spiritual Ego perceives itself existing locally in the limited ex. tent of the organism. In perfect health this feeling is continuous, uniform, and equal, and therefore, not special OF local. Tn order to be remarked a certain exaltation of wellbeing or distinct uneasiness fs required. In the hypnotic state certain subjects have a more or fess distinct perceptinaaof their internal organs and can axert cef- tain actibn over them. Tn fact, they can mpdify at will all the functions of the "vegetHtfve" life, for instance, the beating of the heart. The fact shows that the brain in certain states of activity can act on the organic functions. If there is a nervous current from the hrafn to the organs there is also, perhaps a contrary current from the organs 10 the brain. Dr. Cromer, LiebanN and others, maintain that some hypnotic snb- jects perceive their internal or gans, and even those of other per. sons with whom they are in hyp notic relations.

GLOVES FROM RAT SKINS.
only One Pair Was Ever Made and That Was Very Smau-Inter-
 esting Glove Lore.


 A report comes from Copenha- gen that a great rat hunt has been organized there, and that the skins of many thousands of the victims are to be used in making gloves. If the rat hunters in the Danish capital cherish any such hopes, says the Pall Mall Gazette, they are doomed to disappoint. ment.
 Rat skins cannot be made into gloves fit for commerce. The be- lief that valuable raw material IS being neglected here survives only in the minds of the inexpert. The glove maker knows much better. A Norwegian merchant once came to England and in- formed a we'll known glove maker that he had collected over 1OO,0W rat skins and was prepared to re- ceive offers for them. He was fully convinced that the skins were suitable for glove making. But the manufacturer found that the largest skin was only some six inches long, and he held up a kid skin for the smallest size of glove, a child's, which was eight inches long, and asked how he was to cut such a glove ont of a rat skin.
 Then he tonk up the smallest kid skin for a lady's glove, II inch es long, and when he asked how that vas to be cut out of rat skin the Norwegian merchant langhed at the idea and went away disap. pointed. The best offer he got for those skins, which he had col lected with so much care, was five sbillings a hundredweight from a man who was willing to boil theIn down fos glue.
 l A famous glove making firm haa { collection a8 cnrtostties elaftng to the trade, and one of them is the largest pair of gloves ever made out of rat skin. The be, lief that such skins could De made into gloves vas laid before the managers so confidently that they resolved to put 1t to the trial, and they ordered a number of skins of the largeet rats which could be found in Grimsby. But the rat Is a fighting animal, and bears the marks of many battles on his body, and it was found that the skins were so scared and torn that it was with the utmost diff, culty that perfect pieces large enough for the purpose could be obtained. In the end, after ten skins had been used, a pair ol gloves was cut and made, and they are retaine1.in the collection to this day. Bnt they are 10 small that they would only fit the small est of small boys Thus 1t waa shown that, however cheauly raj akins might be obtained, they would offer 10 advantage to the glove maker. The rabbit ekin fs equally useless for the purpose and humane people may also dis mfss from their minds the feal that the skins of pet dogs art made into gloves. The dog ykir glove of which we used to hear is made of nothing but the xkin o the Cape goat.

 If our country is to maintain the place it now occupies certain great evils must be very swiftly checked.
 "One evil is Mormonism. The second is divorce. It endangers our social state by destroying thousands of families. The next danger is the saloon.
 s'Still another danger is from corporations. They must be carefully regulated by law and held strictly responsible.
 The need in America is great CT respect for law. We ought to feel the law is sacred. There ought to be no such thing as a liberal administration
 We must put our best men in public life. They should measure up to Bible standards. They should fear God, hate covetous- ness and have ability. There ought to be no place in our pub- lie life for any other kind of men. 7
