Total Assessment of Railroad Property in Arkansas Is $53,3o4, ,114, an Increase of $12,186,231 Over the 1903 Assessment.
Raised Assessment $12,186,231.

The total assessments of the rail roads in Arkansas has been figured out from the assessment per mile made by the state board recently, by the force of the secretary of state S office The total assessment is $53,- 304 114, an increase over last year of $12,186,321 and over 1902 of $25.-317,- 657 These figures show the amount assessed, but not the amount paid, as several railroa6e secured injunctions last year, and have done so again this year Last year the assessment board, composed of Gov. Davis, Secretary of State Crockett and State Auditor Monroe, raised the total valuations of the railroad property by about half the amount of the previous year. This year the board increased the to- tai assessment by about the same amount. nearly doubling the assess ment of 1902. The biggest increase this year is made in the Iron Noun tain property. The assessment in 1902 was $5.2S5,515. In 1903 it was 6,356, 473 and this year it has been raised to sS,S4S.f9 on a valuation of $15.000 per mile. The Iron Noun tain was the only big road which paid taxes on it's assessment last year without bringing suit against the state. but it has joined hands with the others this year.

Two Officers Killed.

John Williams. a negro eX-conyict, ran amuck at Forrest City on August 20 and killed two officers and was killed himself. Williams was intim- dating negroes near Forrest City where he worked and started for town. heavily armed The manager of the place reached town before Will Hams and notified the sheriff, who assigned two deputies. William Mur= phee and Bob Swan to arrest him. They located the negro and com manded his surrender. He responded with five shots Murphee was struck In the breast and Swan was grazed. Murphee died several hours later. Swan hastened to town and called for volunteers. City Marshal William Rainbolt and others responded and surrounded the negro in a barn a quarter of a mile from the scene of the first shooting The officers bold ly advanced and Rainbolt fired through crack. The negro returned the fire and struck Rainbolt in the bowels Though mortally wounded, Rainbolt rose to his feet and placing his pistol to the crack fired again at the negro and killed him Rainbolt died an hour later The affair caused a great sensation.

Chicago. Aug 23-The packers have issued an official statement defining their position in the stock yards con- troversy and declaring that they will not enter into any agreement with the striking butcher workmen. In review ing the causes leading up to the strike. the packers point out that they of- fered to submit the entire matter to arbitration and that their offer was re- fused.
 After the strike was called they state they again took up negotiations with the butcher workmen, and at the end of week an agreement was reached which was considered fair to both par ties Before there was chance to put this agreement into effect the cattle butchers held a meeting and decided to ignore the contract and the second strike was ordered The statement concludes with the following:
 "In what light would the packers re- gard contract with the butcher work men after these events? What argu- ment could the union leaders adduce in l ldNbE LII SHtI d 1Ohtl tt1l Oi III ld'Ol OL arbitration?
 "The packers had agreements with their workers and some other labor or ganizations. by which the men were morally bound not 10 strike. Yet when the butcher workmen were seen to be so much in the wrong that they could not enforce their demands, these con- tract bound workmen laid down their tools in sympathetic strike Again the agreement, now so stoutiy cOntended for, was wilfully torn up. No one can truthfully say that the owners of the plants have opposed trade unions. They never asked their employees as to their utilization with labor organiza- tions or with any association. They knew when the various unions were being formed in their plants and they did not in the least attempt to prevent their formation.
 Tn conclusion, it can not be stated too strongly that the packers will not enter into any agreement with the butchers Experience has proven that negotiations with an organization that has absolutely no regard for the in- violability of contract is foolish waste of time"
