FAVORABLE FOR OYSTERS.
English Royal Commission Reporta That Danger of Typhoid Infec-
 ton Has Been Exaggerated.

The English royal commission on sewage disposal has issued 8 report that should tend to allay the frequent "oyster scares" caused by the assertion that she'll. fish are polluted and made unfit to eat by typhoid germs. They are of the opinion that there is not at present exact knowledge warrant Ing such sweeping measures as the compulsory puriflcation of sewage before discharge, for there is nothing, they state, in the ap- pearance of shellf1sh to dfstin- guish those which have been ex. posed to sewage contamination from those which have not been SO exposed.
 The denial of the validity of bacteriological examination as a test is very important, for this test has rested on the assumption that the bacillus coli communis, or other allied organism, does not normally occur in the oyster. Over 1000 oysters taken from the pui. est waters and from beds obviously liable to pollution were examined and the bacillus coli was found iA nearly all of them, from whatever laying they were taken, though as a rule very much smaller mum. Der of bacilli was found in those from pure than in those from polluted waters. The commis. sioners say:
 of it should be seriously con tended that the mere presence of bacillus coli, or colilike microbes. in an oyster should condemn it, few oysters would probably es. cape condemnation"
 Concerning the possibilities of the communication of disease by shellfish, they state that there is a prima faoia probability that at times living typhoid bacilli might be conveyed by shellfish to the con sumer and produce enteric fever, experience confirms their views that the extent to which the ill ness is actually conveyed cannot he determined, the present state of knowledge on the subject not making 1t possible to make an ac eSrate numerical statement

TAX THE DRUMMER" PAYS
A Considerable Item in Commercial Travellers Expense Account in
 Most European Countries.

Three or four drummers, says Comfort, had engaged in a warm discussion over the bane of the drummer's existence on the road, the "drummer's tax"-not so bad as it used to be, however, when small towns all over the country levied tribute on every travelling man who visited them.
 "By Jove," said a man from . New York silk firm, "you ought to try it over on the other side. What they do here isn't to be spoken of in comparison. Here it is merely a small local matter. Over there it is national. At least 1t is for any of us who come from foreign countries. In Denmark, for instance, there is an annual tax of $42.88 if a man represents one house and half that for each other house represented. In Nor. way you have to have trade pass good for 30 days, costing $26.80. France is easier and you don't have anything hut business passport, which costs no more than you want to pay. In Hol. land you have to have an indus. trial tax receipt, which costs six dollars. In Sweden the price is the same as in Norway, $26.80, and if you try to get out of it you will catch a fine of from the price of the trade pass up to $184, and they are strict about it, too.
 "In Austria you have only to show proper trade license and in Switzerland business pass. port. They don't cost any more than you want to give up to the chaps who let you have them. In Russia the price is $25.75 as trade tax and $5.15 extra as a communal tax. And if you are Jew you don't want to go to Russia to sell goods. You may be all right, bu, Russia doesn't like that kind and shows it by pushing the drummer tax on Jews up to $275.5O, be sides the communal tax of $5.15. England's the place, though, where you want to go. That'sths great free trade land and you can go anywhere and everywhere and sell to anybody and everybody and never pay a penny. They are SC free over there that, by love, you almost feel like asking the cour try to pay you few hundred a year just because you are there."

ACCOMPLICES MAY
 ALSO BE INDICTED.
Forecast of What Next White County Grand Jury May Do
 in Roberts-Lightle Cases.

It is understood that Dr. R. G. Lightle, J. V. Roberts and Wal ter Gregory will not be the only ones of Searcy to be indicted by the grand jury for complicity to rob the grave of Ed Pitts and al- so of attempting to defraud the insurance companies, says the Little Rock Democrat.
 From a gentleman who resides in Searcy and who has been and is yet in close touch with the sit uation, it is learned that the grand jury will probably indict several others whose connection with the famous case has been talked of for some time. Greg ory will of course be indicted for his connection with the offense, but it is not thought that he will be prosecuted on either of the charges on account of shis turn ing states evidence.
 Since the trial of Dr. Lightle for grave robbery it has develop ed that the charge of attempt ing to defraud the insurance companies will be the only one against him hereafter. Under the statute of Arkansas, which has been upheld by the supreme court, man cannot be charged with arson for burning his own property, provided the destruc- tion of his property does not en- danger the property of others.

WEATHER FAVORABLE
 FOR LATE CROPS.
Cotton Opens Nicely Picking Reaches 35 per cent, of
 Years Crop.

For the week ending October 1O.-The week was favorable for all late crops, the temperature being about normal, and light to copious showers falling over most of the state benefiting the late crops which have generally been suffering from lack of moic- ture. Cotton is opening nicely, and in some localities is nearly all open. Picking made good pre- gress and about 35 per cent of the crop has been picked. Early corn is being gathered and a good crop secured; the late will be a poor crop owing to lack of moisture at the critical stage ot development. Late potatoes are a poor crop; sweet potatoes are fair to good, and turnips are fair. Some fall blowing has been done and in some sections winter wheat has been sown, but up to the present., much less than the usua amount of this work has beer done owing to continued dry weather, which has prevented blowing. The apple crop is be- ing gathered; the yields are fail and the quantity medium. Stock is generally healthy, although there is some complaint in iso' lated localities of hogs dying.
