The hope is pretty generally ex-
pressed, however. that the next ses

some relief. As the interest of Uncle

no doubt in the minds of those who
know him best but that he will devel-
op some plan of relief, for Uncle
Charley is born finacier, and never
lets little things like this worry him.
Obstacles don't count with him, and
when he finds thing cant be done

Little Rock Nov. AT the Novem-
ber meeting of the Arkansas railroad
commission, which was held yester-
day, several matters of More than
usual Importance were considered,
but rulings were made in but few
cases. An order was made in connec-
rates to apply on carloads moving
three miles or less. The resolution
in this matter, which was presented
by Commissioner Hampton, and which
was adopted, is as follows:
'On any haul of three miles or
less not subject to the switching rules
Of the commission, the rate on all ar
t;cles taking commodity rate. per the
con: missions standard tariff shall be
made on basis of one cent per hun
dred weight, with minimum. charge
of IS per car
This is a matter which has been
pending for some tine 1t has been
discussed by railroad men and nem-
hers of the commission at length and
the ruling is felt to be an equitable
adjustment of the existing conditions.
Other rulings were as follows:
The application Of packing house
rates to apply on soap powder as we'll
as on common soap.
A reduction of about Is per cent Of
the rates on wheelbarrows between
points in Arkansas.
A reduction of rates on sugar in
carload lots, making the minimum
rate thirteen cents per hundredwelght.
A reduction of the classification on
coal oil. gasoline and lubricating oils
having a petroleum base from third
to fourth class.
The adoption of local rates to ap-
ply on the Jonesboro. Lake City and
Eastern. The rates ordered by the
commission on this line will be slight
ly higher than the commissions stand
ard distance tariff, and is reduction
of from 25 to 35 per cent from the
present rates on that road
In addition to the rulings made by
the commission it was ordered by
agreement with the various lines in
terested that the rate on canned goods
shall hereafter apply to mince meat.
The petition of the Pine Bluff board
of trade. asking the commission to
declare the Pine Bluff, Arkansas River

THE LADD CASE
WAS DISMISSED BY GRAND
JURY, BUT HELD TILL
NEXT TERM
Jury Makes Its Final Report, But
Nothing in It of Unusual
Interest.

II was learned Wednesday after.
noon at late hour that the case
against f. p. Ladd for the killing of
j. NJ. Scott was dismissed by the pres
ent grand jury, but on request of the
prosecuting attorney the accused was
held by the circuit Judge until the
next session of the grand jury. It is
understood that the state failed to Sc
cure some important witnesses in the
case, and for this reason asked that
the case be continued over until the
next session Of the court. Mr.. Ladd's
present bond will serve for the pur-
pose of his freedom until the next
term of court.
The grand jury made it's final report
but there is nothing in it of unusual
interest.
The jury was in session twelve days
and returned seventy-two true bills,
dismissed thirty cases, and examined
225 witnesses. Purchase of supplies
for the poorhouse were recommended,
as was also an increase In the salary
OF the poorhuose physician to $l25,
of the poorthouse physician to $125,
that road hands be required to work
the roads four days in each year; con-
demned the method of settlement of
constables: reported Jail in good con-
dition, and reported that certain
guardians had failed to settle.

Values Advancing at New Orleans.

New Orleans, Nov. 9.-Following
close on the heels of the raising Of
Guarantines, values in New Orleans
have advanced rapidly. Stock exchange
shares now sell at $4,000 each. while
cotton exchange shares can not be
purchased at that figure. An eXecu

statement that the financial affairs of
the business men of New Orleans
are today in most excellent condition
notwithstanding the losses caused by
the quarantines.
