May Change Mountains Name.

Tt appears that the railroad system heretofore known as the Missouri Pacific-Iron Mountain will soon drop the two words following the hyphen and be known as the Missouri Pacific System, said an observant pas senger at the union station to a St. Louis reporter. Continuing, and in explanation of the above, the gentleman called attention to the new freight equipment, a great deal of which coming into Arkansas at this time being let tered Missouri Pacific System, while heretofore the words ''St. Louis, Iron Mountain & South ern" have appeared.
 The dispenser of information figured out that soon the entire equipment will carry the name of the Missouri Pacific system. Just what tae meaning of this is has not yet been determined. It is said by railroad men that this condition of affairs has existed but short time, but that it has been noted by the road men who come in direct and personal con- tact with the freight equipment.

Reinsurance Outside Lega'.

Attorney General Rogers, in an official opinion as to the rein surance of domestic companies, authorized to do business in Ar kansas, by foreign companies not authorized to do business in the state, holds that the two unofficial opinions previously given were not inconsistent from the fact that the first declared such reinsurance illegal only be- cause the contract of reinsurance is supposed to have been made in the state. The second opinion goes on the hypothesis that the contract of reinsurance is made outside the state.

REPEATS HIS CHARGE.
Dave Young Announces His Readiness to Make Affidavit to His
 Charge Against Governor.

Hot Springs, Sept. 21. A newspaper representative called on Dave Young and asked him if he saw the reply of Governor Davis in answer to the letter Young wrote to Attorney General Rogers in n-regard to a transaction in which he alleged that he gave the governors private secretary $150 under promise of not losing anything by it. Young said:
 "Yes, I see Gov. Davis calls me liar. Now it's an easy mat ter to call a man a liar when the only way he can reach him is by a telephone or telegram, which does not give the satisfaction a person can get if called a liar to his face.
 Every word in my letter to Rogers was the truth and I'll not only stand by what l said but will make affidavit to it. George Bedding did not borrow the money from me for Davis, but handed it to Jacobson di- rect and he returned it in the same manner. at the same place, each time making an appoint ment to meet me-
 MT Bedding was present, but he did not intimate that he would be responsible for the return of the money. When 1 handed Jacobson the money he said l would lose nothing by the accom- mediation.
 Mir. Young has resided here about 25 years, and is very gen. erally known in city and county.
 It is the prevailing opinion that Mir. Young told the truth re- garding the amounts it cost him to secure a pardon from Gov. Davis, and the belief is hazarded that while Bob Rogers is in the digging up" business he might secure other letters or afidavits concerning the governors con- duct that would make racy read ing and sensational campaign material.

TEDDY MAY NOT COME.
Quarantine Regulations May Prevent Visit of President Roosevelt
 to Arkansas.

New Orleans, Sept. 21. While the fact that the Arkansas au- thorities have asked ten. days time in which to give a definite answer to Dr. Whites inquiry as to whether the presidents train eau enter the state after leaving here has caused some disappoint- ment, it is the expectation of the health authorities that the situation will have sufficiently improved by October 1 to war rant the officials of the sister state in then giving the desired permission. $
 Meantime New Orleans is going forward with it's preparations to receive the president, and it is the opinion of the entire medical fraternity that he may come here without the slightest risk.
 As has been pointed out in these dispatches the conditions are constantly improving, not withstanding occasional jumps in the number of cases, the class ing of other types of fever in the official list being responsible for the unfavorable aspect that is some times given to the situa- tion.

 local Showers.

Below is the weekly crop and weather report:
 The temperature was season able in the southern portion of the state and comparatively cool in the northern portion.
 The rainfall was in local show CTS and was heavy in some sec tions, and was accompanied by hail which did some damage to cotton.
 Cotton has deteriorated owing to cool, wet weather in the northeastern portion, and to in- sects, rust and shedding in other portions. The plant is small and late, but is fruiting fairly well, and is opening prematurely in some localities and slowly in others. Some picking has been done, but it is not general.
 Early corn made a good crop; late corn, potatoes, turnips and field pears are doing well. Sweet potatoes are a good crop.
 Very little fall blowing has been done and sowing of fall grain has not begun. Apples are a poor crop of in- ferior quality.
 Pastures are good and stock is doing we'll except in some southeastern counties there is complaint of charbon among cattle.

Ladies Endorse the Change.

One of the boldest and most business-like changes known to the modern advertising and busi- ness circles is that recently made by the National Toilet Company of Paris, Tenn.
 It appears that there were one or two articles on the market with names so much like Satinola as to be liable to cause confusion in the minds of purchasers. Sati- nola has won a national reputa- tion as a remover of freckles, pimples, etc., and as a complex ion beautifier, therefore it's ster- ling manufacturers knew that they could not take any chances on the confusion and at one bold strike retired the word .Satinola for Nadinola.
 That the new name 'Nadi- nola" will soon become popular and a favorite beautifier with the ladies is evidenced by the numer- ous endorsements from grateful women in nearly every state in the union who have tested the virtue of this valuable prepara-
