The Telephone Exchange

The telephone exchange puts
ont a new card directory this
week which shows 140 subscrib-
ers. The work Of the office is
growing steadily and the public is
getting better service and better
results than ever before. The
Nackay Telegraph and Cable
company has put IN a switch
board and the office will soon be
in q position to telephone and tel
graph from the same office and
over the same wires at the same
time. Timid people at the phone
will soon get accustomed to the
new condition and will brace up

Of swallowing a telegraphic dis
patch by mistake. People have
been trying for nineteen hundred
years to study our and explain the

ers may yet get a clue or a broad
ening thought from the simple
workings of the phone system,
but if Jesus had talked to the Gal
liIeans about telephone and tele-
graph communication 1t would
have been nearly nineteen hun
dred years before the first proof
was given Of the facts. Prayers
are said to have been answered
sooner than that, and yet others

cause they rang the wrong con

Franklin could not have made it
plain in his day, and 50 it is just
possible that theologists will offer
us something tangible yet that
will cause cause cause the faithful
to look back on our present un-
derstanding of prayer as we look
back at Franklin when he was
seeking to catch the life of a
cloud in bottle, or at Morse
pleading with the national con-
gress about throwing message
from Washington to Baltimore.
However this may be, the folks
in the local exchange are still CIV
ing the public the best service
they can, and while the public
has something to say about good
service, better service, bad SER
vice and rank service, the reports
of what the people in the exchange
think of different patrons has
never been published and pro
badly never will. Suffice it to
say, however, that those who COM
ply the most carefully with the in
structlons and suggestions made
by the company for the operation
Eof the lines, get the best and
quickest service just as certainly
as the man who goes near the fire

He was superin- tendent of the Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix Railroad during it's construction period It has been estimated that the Arizona Eastern will be completed in about eigh- teen months. The El Paso and Southwestern railroad system has been inspected lately by a party of Rock Island officials who found much of interest in the great smell ter at Douglas, the copper mines at Bisbee and the gold mines at Tombstone. Though President Loree and General Manager Miller probably told the exact truth when they insisted they were out simply to look at country that supplied them with much freight traffic, their visit was the cause of renew ing the wild stories that have floated about for the past two years that the Rock Island is on the point of taking over the South western and extending it on to San Diego.

 Gazette: In yesterdays session of the district court, a judgment for $14,09370 was rendered in favor of the plaintiff in the case of the Phoenix National Bank vs. Black Warrior Copper Co. The defendant company, which has it's principal office in Philadelphia, Pa., had been doing business with the Phoenix National Bank and had money deposited in that insti- tuition up to July IS, 1903 Then, according to an agreement between the two parties, the copper com pany was allowed to overdraw its account, agreeing to pay ten per cent. interest on the overdraft. This continued until March 16, 1904, and repeated demands for payments on the part of the bank were not needed by the defendant. The over6raft and interest thereon amounts to the judgment in the case.
 International American: Chas T. Connel has returned from Tue son. where in his capacity of Chi nese inspector he attended the | trial of Wong Took Ling, charged | with being illegally in this country. Wong's case is the first of the kind 1 that has occurred in this district, according to Mir. Cornell. For five years Wong has raised garden truck on the Crane ranch at Fair bank and accumulated a comfor- table competence. He took no- ton to make trip to China, and did so, but did not go through the formality of equipping himself with certain necessary papers. He was abroad eight months, and re- turned to San Francisco, thence shipping to Mazatlan, and from there proceeding to Guaymas. From the latter point he returned to Fairbank. The United States commissioner at Tucson ordered his deportation, but his counsel has appealed the case to the dis trct court.
 Bisbee Review: Through District Attorney Rawling of Graham county, the Southern Pacific has purchased a clear right-of-way from Solomonville up the Gila Eastern river to the mouth of the San Francisco, in the name of the Arizona Eastern Railway, the con- struction corporation for the new low gradient, shortcut line across the territory.

GRAVE ROBBERY
 CASES CALLED.
Roberts and Lightle May Ask for Change of Venue, Hoping to Have Case Sent to Bald
 Knob or Beebe.

Searcy, Aug. 31. The prelim- mary trial of three men on charges growing out of the al- legged attempt of Dr. R.G. Lightle and others to swindle certain life insurance companies is set for to- morrow morning at 10 o'clock in Justice w. E. Harlin's court here. There are three defend ants, Dr. Lightle, John V. Rob- erts and Walter Gregory, and the charge will be that of violating the grave.
 Gregory returned to Searcy to- night, in company with s. M. Powell and several other insur- ance agents. This is the first time Gregory has been in Searcy since he gave bond, over a week ago, and no one here seems to know where he has been. It is generally thought that he IS to make a clear breast of the whole affair. This opinion is shared by Roberts and Lightle.
 Roberts denies that Senator Clarke has refused to defend him, and says that he has re- toined Hon. Jos. M. Stayton, Judge M. M. Stuckey and Hon. Gustave Jones', of Newport, to defend him, and that he has letters from Judge B. G. Mitch ell, Frank Pace, of Harrison, and H. A. Parker of Clarendon and from about thirty other promi- nent attorneys and friends, who volunteer to assist in his defense if necessary.
 It appears certain, from indi- cations tonight, that the defend ants will ask for a change of venue tomorrow, with the hope of sending the case to either Beebe or Bald Knob.

feared, the $6,000 revenue to Craighead county arising from it's dog n saloons will be wiped out with a possible deficit in the sa- loon account.
 Ordinarily what applies to an individual will apply to a com- munity of individuals or to a county. The individual who squanders bis earnings for drink usually hassepSor credit, a ne- glected family and little money. A community of drinkers would be a community of paupers, ex- cept those who fatten upon the rum traffic. A county given to drink, where the open saloon is maintained, must of necessity share a similar fate. No county can prosper with open saloons, where the county receives only a SMALL proportion of the spells and assumes ALL the financial responsibility of criminal prose- cutions arising from the traffic.
 If the saloon keeper was re- quired to give bond for the pay ment of all costs in the criminal courts arising from the whiskey traffic how many men do you sup pose would take out license? Yet the county would, for the pltlful sum of $500, turn an open saloon loose, to run at large and say Tn effect, "Go it, boots, and we'll foot the bills.'
 Now many voters in Greene county want to form a co-part' nership with the open saloons, by which you will get a rake-oft of $500 and undertake to pay all the costs arising from the traffic; Wouldn't you, as an lndlVlaual having property to make your I obligations good, consider It 9 had business proposition to ac. cept from any saloon keeper S4ot and for that consideration agree to pay all the criminal court costs that might arise from the opera

time. J.. E. WILMANs. SIMPSONS STRONG ARGUMENT. K The showing made by MT. s. la. Simpson of the expense of prosecuting crime arising from the whiskey traffic is really appall- ing and furnishes one of the strongest arguments of the cam paign.
 The figures and facts given are worthy of serious consideration and should put every intelligent | person to thinking. They should T3tonvert to the cause of temper lance every man who believes or spretends to believe that the whis- !Aakey license revenue is a good thing for the county.

 Of the county and state license revenue the county gets $500 and to get back the cost of prosecut- ing these two cases alone Clay would have to sell IA saloon li- cense. As about 2 saloons would be all the county could support at one time it would take the license revenue two years to the county to pay the court expenses of those two cases. A rather ex- pensive luxury, is it not?
 But take our own county of Greene: The only two murder cases pending in the circuit court which convenes in Paragould next Monday are the result of liquor. These two cases will cost the county nearly as much, and possibly more, than the rest of tl1e docket.

Don't you think that successful county fnanciering requires the same application of business principles that make individual fnanciering a success? If you do, how can vote for your county to enter into a business scheme that you as an individual would consider very hazardous?

NUMBERS IN EARLY DAYS.
Forerunners OF the Existing System
Of Enumeration Resorted to
Queer Expedients.

In paper read before the Pathological
society Of the. University of Michigan
recently Prof George Hempl comment
ed upon the forerunners Of our present
system of enumeration. Some two years
ago, in seeking the origin of the Runic
letters (the first letters used by the Ger
manic races, Prof. Hempl discovered
the primitive Germanic numeral nota-
tons. This threw new light upon the
early Germanic numeral system, as we'll
as upon the primitive Indo- European
numerical system and upon the develop
ment of the Greek alphabet and the
Greek numerical notation.
The primitive Indo European numer-
ical system was mixture Of the deci-
NAL and the sexagesimal. The first
large number was the eshock that is,
60-and the next large number was the
"hund," or hundred" that is 120. Be
tween so and 12O there were no num-
bers like our 70, etc, 10 being "a shock
and TO-" and 80 being "a shock and 20. !"
The introduction of our present num-
bers between so and 40 arose out of the
Introduction of the decimal hund or hum
dred, that Ia, 100, in distinction from
which the old hundred t120) was called
the duodecimal hundred, or the great
hundred" which Is still used In Iceland
and parts OF England.
