Decided in Shippers Favor.

The interstate commerce commis- sion held, in the claim of the Califor- nia Fruit exchange against the South ern Pacific and Sante Fe railroads, that the rates charged were excessive, and it is expected that a new rate, much lower than the old one. will be established. As a result of this decis. ion, Arkansas commission men expect to derive some benefit, because when the rates are lowered they can pur- chase fruit delivered on the car at points in this state at much lower prices than at present It is claimed that as result of the high prices charged by the two roads, after the forming of the pool, that cars of or anges and the like cost in many cases $100 more than would have been the case were the regular rates in effect.

FORREST CITY, ARK. FRIDAY AFTERNOON, MARCH B 1905
Must Pay Cash.

A new evil arising from the Logan. King antitrust law Is threatened by action reported to have been taken by some of the leading manufacturers of firearms in the country Arkansas dealers have been notified by the U. M. C. and the Winchester Arms com panies that no goods will be shipped into Arkansas on a credit basis after the antitrust law goes into effect. This will compel the merchants to send money with their orders. This action, it is stated, is to protect man. ufacturers from merchants who might buy a bill of goods and then refuse to pay for them on the ground that they were made by trust It is claimed that the fourth section of the law would give the merchants an op- portunity to do this if they desired. The Little Rock wholesale dealers will also be compelled to refuse to sell goods on credit for the same req son.

THE YOUNG DANE WINS AGAIN
Battling Nelson, For the Second Time, Secures Victory Over
 Young Corbett.

Woodward's Pavilion, San Francis co. March 1.-Battling Nelson, of Chi cago, made Young Corbett, of Denver. appear the poorest tyro at the fighting game Tuesday night when he prac- tically knocked him out in the middle of the ninth round In order to save their man complete knockout the sec onds threw up the sponge. The man who twice met Terry McGovern was not in it with the young Dane at any stage of the game. In the early part of the fight on several occasions he strengthened Nelson up with rights and lefts on the jaw, but when it came to following up his advantage his swings were wild. He seemed to be oyeranxious, while Nelson at all times was cool and confident.

MORMON TlTHlNG SYSTEM
Government and State Salaries aad Even Those of school Teachers
 Must Pay Tribute.

Washington, March 1.-Senatof Kearns. of Utah, in the course of a farewell speech in the senate, Tuesday. in which he inveighed bitterly against the Mormon hierarchy, referred to the tithing system. He said that no ac- counting was made of this vast sum of one-tenth of the incomes of all the Mormons, and that the president of the church expended it according to his own will. He said the hopelessness of contending in business way with this autocrat was perfectly apparent and continued:
 Tt will astound you to know that every dollar of United States money paid to any servant of the govern ment, who is a Mormon, is tithed for the benefit of this monarch. Out of every thousand dollars thus paid he gets $100 to swell his grandeur. This is also true of money paid ont of the public treasury of the state of Utah to Mormon officials. But what is worst of all. the monarch dips into the sacred public school fund and extracts from every Mormon teacher one-tenth of his or her earnings and uses it for his un- accounted purposes: and by means of these purposes and the power which they constitute, he defes the laws of his state, the sentiment of his country. and is waging war of nullification on the public school system so dear to the American people.

AFTER OIL TRUST AGAIN.
More Kansas Legislation that Effects
 Oil Business.

Topeka, Kan, March 2.-The house yesterday passed the anti-dis- crimination bill. aimed principally at the Standard Oil company, and the last of the antitrust measures to come up in this session. It now goes to Gov. Hoch. This bill will reinforce the half-dozen other antitrust meas ures passed by the present legislature
 It is thought that Gov. Hoch will sign the bill. He announced when the refinery bill passed that the anti-dis- crimination law was necessary to it's success.
 The other antitrust legislation en- acted at this session includes the pas sage of the bill appropriating $410.- 900 for the erection of state oil re- finery. bill making oil pipe lines common carriers, and a bill providing for a maximum freight rate for the transportation of oil.

LIVE STOCK RATES.
Interstate Commerce Commission RuI.
 ing Will Be Tested.

Chicago, March 2-Executive off cers of the western railroads have de- cided to ignore the order of the inter- state commerce commission requiring them to charge no higher rates for live stock than are charged for the transportation of live stock products. by the advice of the attorneys for the different roads, the matter will be tested i'll the courts, as the railroads are agreed that it will be impossible either to lower the live stock rates or to increase the rates on live stock pro- ducts.
 A reduction on the live stock rates, in compliance with the decision of the commission. would mean minimum reduction of 31s cents and a maximum of about s cents a hundred pounds, and would affect fully 40 per cent of all the live stock traffic west of Chi cago.

 him to relinquish his hold on Boger
 whom they then dragged unconscious from the cage. l A doctor who happened to be among the audience went to the assistance oi l the wounded man. He found that Bo- l ger was badly lacerated about the 1 neck, face and head. There were two serious scalp wounds. one five inches and the other three inches in length

St. Petersburg. March ?. - Gen. Stoessel arrived in St. Petersburg yesterday from Moscow.

War Min ister Sakharoff and Admiral Zerlotti. in behalf of the admiralty. welcomed Gen. Stoessel. The recognition was, however, nothing in the nature of pop ular demonstration.

LANDMARK BAPTIST MEETING
Will Hold Session at Texarkana to Plan General Association-Credh Refused Arkansas Merchants on Account of Antitrust Law.
Landmark Baptists to Plan for Nation
 al Organization.

The movement for the organizing of a general association of Landmark Baptist churches of the United States, which originated in Little Rock. has resulted in the issuance of a call for a meeting at Texarkana March 22 to determine how this may be brought about. The following call has been issued
 "To the Landmark Baptist Churches
 of the United States-Greeting
 ''We, the Bethlehem Baptist church of Little Rock, Ark, believing that the time has come when there should be organized general association of Landmark Baptists for the United States, call for preliminary meeting for consultation, and if thought best. for organization, in TexarKana, March 22, 1905.
 "Our reasons for so doing are:
 First We believe in scriptural church cooperation. and there is no general organization in America con- posed of churches which has for it's object church cooperation in foreign mission work.
 "Second. We believe that church of God. however small, is equal in everything essential to any other church of God, however large or rich; and for that reason we want a gen eral association for the United States 0f resentation by messengers, and we object to either the financial or the numerical basis of representation. We want churches to be represented as such, and we suggest that only one messenger be sent from church.
 Third. We suggest Texarkana as the place because 1t is near the cen ter of the territory most interested. We suggest as a basis of operation the constitution of the B. NJ. A. of Texas, and the statement of principles of the Arkansas and Territorial Gen eral Association. The details to be adjusted by the messengers of the churches in session. .,
 We invite all Baptist churches which are in harmony with the gen eral association of Texas, Arkansas and the territories, no matter in what state or territory they may be located, to elect one messenger to meet with the other messengers of the churches in Texarkana March 9. 1905. for con sultation and possibly organization as May God directs"
 Since the organization of the Gen eral Association of Landmark Baptist churches in Arkansas. several years ago, similar organizations have been effected in other states. working apart from the Baptist state convention.

Cured at Pasteur institute.

w. l.. Whitten of Conway returned from the Pasteur institute at St. Louis where he went a few weeks ago for treatment after having been bitten by a mad dog in Conway. He was under treatment for eighteen days. He says that those in charge assured him that any chance for him to have the disease was very remote possi- bility. They were unable to tell whether there was any of the virus in his system or not, but felt sure if there was he would not be in any danger.

MRS. STAFFORD DEAD.
Only III Forty Minutes-Strong Suspi
 cion That She Was poisoned.

Honolulu, March Mrs. Jane La throp Stanford of San Francisco, wid- ow of United States Senator Leland Stanford. died yesterday forty minutes after she was taken i'll, at the Moana hotel, under suspicious circumstances, pointing. in the opinion of the physi- clans who attended her in her dying hour, to poisoning by the administra. ton of strychnine in vial of bicar- bonate of soda. The physicians say that between convulsions Mrs. Stan ford repeatedly asserted that she had been poisoned and that it was the second time the attempt had been made. the first time being in January at her San Francisco home, and that it was this attempt that caused her to come to Honolulu. An autopsy on the remains showed the cause of death was tetanus of the respiratory organs, but how this was brought about will not be known until after an examina- tion of the contents of the stomach.

Mrs. Roosevelt in Public.

Z, There has been a good deal of sub
dued, discreet gossip Of late about Mrs.
Roosevelt, to The effect, mainly, that
she spends most of her time. these
warm, early summer days, lounglng IN
der the big trees in the grounds south
of the White House. This gossip, so
those who are well informed say, is the
veriest rubbish. Mrs. Roosevelt has
never been seen SO much in public as
during the present season. She has
entertained literally, has frequently
gone shopping afoot, and has had num-
erous parties on trips to Mount Vernon,
the cathedral school and other places,
to say nothing of almost daily drives
in her landau. This gossip recalls
similar gossip in 1902, when a number
i of ladies then prominent in the public
eve were said to be expecting visits
from the stork. In this list there fig
ured, among others, Mrs. Dewey, Mrs.
Depew, Mrs. James G.. Blaine, Jr., Mrs.
Brewer and Mrs. Corbin. None Of these
rumors materialized, nor have they
/ since been repeated. The rather re-
: cent session Of the mothers congress in
this city may explain the revival Of
this gossip with Mrs. Roosevelt as the
central fiUure.
