MEET NE AT THE PIKE.
Have You Perambulated Along the
Carnival Thoroughfare?

They are very good, those Mundy
shows, and we'll worth a trip of milAS
to see. Of course, everybody know

nlva now being held under the aus
pices of the Odd Fellows on Seconl
avenue.
Everybody appeared to be in a hap
py mood on the pike last night, and
although confetti throwing was not
allowed, the people, particularly the
young ones, made their enjoyment
felt in other ways. spirit of good
will and friendliness prevailed, and
no one could feel a stranger In the
throng.
The shows themselves are Iocatei
in crescent form around the enclosure.

sion's joint express tariff. 1t is the
intention of the commission that this
joint rate shall apply to all express
and railroad companies doing business
in the state, whether local or other
wise. This order will become effect
i've at once.
On application of Geo +. Johnson
superintendent Of the Pacific Express
company, the Arkansas express tariff
Of the commission, as amended was
adopted, to apply to all express lcom-
panies in the state. This tariff will
become effective at once.
In the first order the application Of
the joint tariff will have the effect OF
lowering the express rates for all
points reached by Independent lines,
which have hetofore been charging the
regular rate in addition to the rate
charged by the company from which
they received the goods.
The effect Of the adoption Of the
commissions tariff will also be to
lower all express rates in the state
from 5 to 10 per cent. While the tar
If has been presumably in force in the
past, the fact that it has not been
strictly adhered to by the express
companies is believed by the commits
sion to have been more through an
ignorance of the proper application
of the rate on the part of the compa
MES doing business in this state than
a desire to charge higher than the
srecfied rate.
The commission also ordered a no.
tice to be sent to the railroads of the
state of the intention Of the commits
sion 20 take up at the next meeting on
| the rate on fire brick, and fire clay in
mixed cars, and also reducing the car
load rate on drain tile in straight car
loads. This is done at the instance ol
the tile and brick manufacturers Of
Marisfield, Malvern, Peoria, Kings
land and other points in the state.
An amendment was made by the
commission to the standard freight
distance tariff, changing the present
dc murrage rate to provide that free
time in unloading cars shall begin OF
the first day at a. m after placement
OF cars by the railroad. At present the
free time begins at a. m. on the day
following the placement of the car
BY free time is meant the period o.
81 hours which is added to the pre-
scribed 4S hours allowed the shipper
t. remove his goods from the cars o
the railroad company before the latter
may charge demurrage or storage
rate. In carload quantities, under the
rules of the commission, the railroads
are not allowed to charge as demur
rage over one dollar per car per day

Hooker at Benton.

The following telegram from Benton
to the Graphic was received Wednes
day afternoon after the paper had
been put to press:
Benton, Ark, Oct. 27, o'clock
Houston Hooker, the slayer Of Con.
ductor Philo D. Atwood on the Iron
Mountin road yesterday, was brought
to Benton this morning from Little
Rock by Sheriff Joe c. Moore and
Deputy T. Abrams, who placed him
il charge Of Sheriff G. r. Kelley OF
this place, and he is now confined in
the county Jail here to await develop
ments. The citizens of this place
thus far have made no demonstration
against Hooker as yet and the feeling
is that there will be no material dem
onstraton by citizens from this town.
1t has been persistently rumored that
a delegation from Pine Bluff would
arrive here tonight for the expressed
purpose Of lynching Hooker and
should this be attempted very little if
any opposition would be offered by
citizens Of this community. The peo-
pie deplore deeply the tragedy and
unless the negro is disturbed by 9TH
ers he will be tried at the March term
of the Saline county circuit court.
When seen this morning by rep
resentative OF the Graphic he said he
did not know what caused him to
commit the rash act but that Atwood
had been abusing him for some time
since he came back from the north
and that he had learned that negroes
should not be treated that way. He
said he knew he would be hung it he
was not lynched by mob, and that
he did not care to talk about it fur
ther.
It was rumored this afternoon that
the negro had been spirited away to
avoid trouble, and but few people in
Benton know that he is really here.
The town is very quiet this afternoon
but should Pine Bluff send a deIega-
tion to Benton it is believed that the
crowd will be reinforced by men from
this point.

to a large extent and the friends of

be willing to let the law take its

night that Hooker had been taken to
Benton there was more talk Of lynch
ing On the streets, but no semblance
OF mob could be found. The people
are now waiting for speedy trial
and conviction of the murderer. The
trial must be held at Benton, as the
crime was committed in Saline coun
ty. Hooker is still at Benton and

In speaking of his good health and ex-

After u man has lived in the world as
long as j have, he ought to have found
out great many things by experience.
l think have done So,
"One of the things I have found
out to my entire satisfaction is the
proper thing for ailments that are
due directly to the effects of the
climate. For us years have
withsfood the changeabie climate
of the United STATES.
II have always been very healthy

affections which are due to sudden
changes in the climate and temperature.

great many remedies for coughs, colds

best, If not the only, reliable REM
edy for these affections. 1t has
been my standby for many years,
and attribute n1ygood health and
extreme old age to this remedy.
at exactly meets all my requirements.
1t protects me from the evil effects OF
sudden changes; it keeps me in good
appetite: it gives me strength; it keeps
my blood in good circulation. l have
come to rely upon it almost entirely for
the many little things for which l need
medicine.
"When epidemics of la grippe first
began to make their appearance in this
country 1 was sufferer from this dis
ease.

the grip. At first did NOT Know
that Peruna was q remedy for
this disease. When I.heard that
Ia grippe was epidemic cafsrrh, !
tried Peruna for Ia grippe and
found 1t to be just the thing"
In later letter dated January 81, 1908.
Mr.. Brock writes:
II am well and feeling rs well as I
have for years. The only thing that
bothers me is my sight II l could see

it would do me good. l would not be
