CORRECTLY.
Original King Bill p
Senate Wednesday,
Is Scheduled to Pass the House Today,
and Will Then be Ready For
Governors Approval.

Little Rock, Jan. 1S.-The orig
inal King antitrust bill has passed
the senate, and is now in. the hands
of the members of the lower body
of the general assembly for dispo-
sition Not an i" was dotted
nor was a II crossed in the a Ia
Rip Van Wrinkle bill by the sena-
tors. though Senator Toney of
Jefferson did make a desperate at
tempt to inject an amendment.
Four senators Gray and Rison Of
the Tenth district, Toney of the
Eleventh district, and Legate Of
the Thirty-third district-voted
against the passage of the meas
ure. Twenty-six senator's voted
for it without an amendment.
In the house an. attempt is being
made to amend by exempting la
Dor unions and the horticultural
association. Representative Burke,
who led the fight for this amend
ment to the first bill, is doing all
in his power to have the amend
ment inserted in the ''resurrectedo
orphan. That the opposition to-
the bill will be too weak TO have
the amendment inserted there
does not appear to be much doubt.
On Friday morning when the SEN
ate business is transacted in the
house, the measure is slated to-
pass on its final reading and go to-
the governor for his signature.

Mrs. Richard B. Willis of Scar
cy, State Historian of Arkansas
Division, United Daughters of the
Confederacy, has issued the follow
ing to all ex- Confederates in Ark
ansas:
For the past two years |, as
State Historian, have sent out cir
cular letters to every chapter and
camp in Arkansas, asking for ma
terial for my annual report. As
few responses have been received,
| have asked permission of our
President to address you through
our State and local newspapers,
explaining the kind of data avail
able for my report.
IF there comes to your knowl-
edge any act of daring or self-sac-
rifce which belongs to the period
of our War between the States, and
which has never yet been publish
ed in permanent form, pleas I"ve
it fully recorded, delivered'to your
chapter historian and sent by her
to me. This is necessary in order
that these records be authentic. If
we do our duty we shall preserve
for our children anecdotes and
narratives of heroism which we,
as children, heard from the lips of
the veterans who are now leaving
us so rapidly"

GREEN RESIDENCE
DESTROYED BY FIRE
Explosion ola Lamp Set Fire to Build
ing and Practically Nothing
Was Saved.

Geo. L. Green's residence on
the corner of Sixth and Hill streets
was totally destroyed by fire about
eight o'clock Sunday night.
The fire was caused by the ex-
plosion of a lamp, and the entire
building was Il sheet Of flames in a
few seconds. The lamp was in
one of the upper-story rooms, and
no one was in the room when the
explosion occurred. Before any
of the family could reach the room
in which the fire started, the flames
had gained such Roadway that it
was utterly impossible to control
them, and in few minutes the en-
tire building was reduced to ashes.
But very little of the household
furniture was saved. The loss is
estimated at about 81, 300; insur-
ance, small.
1t was thought for a. time that
Mr.. Green's other building on an
adjoining lot would also burn, but
fortunately there was no wind
blowing, and the building was
saved. Had there been a strong
south wind blowing it would have
been impossible to have saved eth
er building, and Prof.A. A. Hender-
son s residence on the upper cor
ner of the same block would pos
sibly have burned, also.

PROSPECTIVE CANDIDATES.

AS the time approaches for en-
tries In the next county campaign,
we hear the names of several of
our best citizens mentioned for the
different positions, where there
will be an opening. We know of
none, however, who are receiving
more favorable mention than Bert
Sims for county clerk. Mr.. Sims
has held the position of deputy
under County Clerk Arnold for
the past two years, and the man
ner in which he has discharged his
official duties has won him many
friends all over the county. His
uniform courtesy and ever ready
willingness to oblige any and all
citizens who have business with
the Office is the subject of frequent
comment among the people, and
this, together with his special
qualifications for the position, will
make Mr.. Sims a formidable can
didate if he should decide to enter
the race.

legislation from the house of rep

King bill Of 1903, which was offer
ed Immediately by Senator Logan

determine, if they can, whether or
not the proposed measure is a fac
simile of what Governor Davis
wants. This committee has not
been named by President Coying-

which history in the state is to be

Recalling froias the lower body

Davis in a special message to the
House this incoming, said was err

measure was born, reconsidcred
the vote by which the bill had
passed, and then, without further
ado, Senator Logan introduced a
bill that in the session of 1903 was

thor of which was former Senator

resolution of Senator Simpson to
send it to committee of three to
be appointed by the president of

individually, among the members
of the upper branch of the legisla-

being enacted into law. Individu-

Vainly Senator Holland at
tempted to have copies of the bill
printed. His argument that pur-

from fellow members that, be the
provisions good or bad, the bill
must pass, for the governor and
the Democratic convention had so
decided.

A woman who whistles is preferable
to one who whines.
Give a woman a chance to show off
and she will make good.
Less a woman has to complain
about the more she complains.
All love messages Of the prudent
man are of the wireless variety.
A man Is as old as he looks, but a
woman is seldom as young as she
thinks she looks.
1t Is easier for a girl to lead man
to the altar than it is to make him
eat her homegrown biscuits.
An engaged girl tries to convince
herself that the man Of her choice is
perfect, but she never quite succeeds.
It takes the State Legislature to
change q mans name but any justice
Of the peace can change a woman's.

a continuous performance ever since
Mother Eve took bite Of that little
apple.
A girl who expects some man to
come along and propose to her after
the manner of the hero in a novel Is
bound to be disappointed.
A girl always likes to express her
opinion, but a widow never tells a
man her private opinion Of anything
until she finds out his opinion of it.
If a man is looking for trouble all
he has to do is to marry a woman old

that a disagreeable temper, her own
temper, is at the bottom Of the I'M

Peace r. S. Steward OF Cheswick and
asked him to draw up the form Of an
oath that she might sign it.

Justice, though professional courtesy
prevents him from disclosing the name
of the woman who signed it:

that I will control my temper and

Probably no other single element has
done more to build up the political au-
thority Of the country than the growth
Of the American navy. Our counsels
have not been less peaceful than be-
fore-we have as carefully abstained
from entangling alliances-our politi-
cal wisdom probably remains about the
same as before, certainly not having
been perceptibly increased, and still
working itself out under the fallible
judgment Of man, by the somewhat
billy road Of experience-but more note
Is taken now by the world at large
of what this nation thinks or wishes
than was formerly the case, and our
opinion is more sought after. Our au-
thority has been increased without
doubt by several contributing causes,
but among these probably none has
been more effective than the growth
