them apparently feasible have been
submitted to the general committee
none Of them has as yet been given

solution that will relieve San Fran

Ike aW Is Valid.

Chancellor Hart of Pulaski county holds the private car law valid, on a decision recently given by him. He declares that the state has power 10 assess such cars under act of the last General Assembly. The private car companies attacked the validity of the act on the ground that it did not provide adequate means for deter mining the value of the property owned by the private car companies and did not make suitable provision for the method in which these taxes should be levied. Chancellor Hart holds that while the law might be defective in some respects, the de- fleets were not sufficient to make the act imperative. and that 1t should be enforced by the state officers, to whom the power Of fixing the taxes against the private car companies was delegated II is probable that an appeal will be taken to the Supreme Court, but no action will be taken for some time. as no decree will be entered until Chancellor Hart hands down his written opinion.

Prohibtionists Invade Aroenta.

The result of the recent election In many respects was already anticipat- ed, but the voting out of saloons in the Third ward of Argenta was some what of surprise to many persons who were unaware of the strong and well.direeted efforts of the temperance party in the ward. The "nolicense' being carried in the Fifth ward was no surprise because of the fact that it has been anti-liquor ever since 1t was taken into the city of Argenta. Four saloons will be affected by the dry vote and will be compelled to move out of tHelr ward by January 1st. County In44sse Coffman. when asked the law on the subject, stated that as he construed it, there could be no more licenses issued for the sale Of whiskey in the Third ward after the will of the people has been expressed as opposed to it.
