comes to the conclusion that perhaps
after all, he did have little interest
in that business.
"Al! aboard for Mexico!" calls
Colonel Bob, as man announces their
carriage waiting.
They rise from the table in some lit
tie excitement. and proceed to look
after the small things. Travellers of
such long experience know just where
| to find everything, and in a short time
their trunks having been sent ahead,
they enter the carriage that has come
to take them to the railway station.
The gentlemen are very attentive,
and look after everything that is nee
essary-tickets and compartments are
secured, the baggage registered. and
it is seven o'clock.
Colonel Bob enters the car; he has
the comforts Of cigar, at the same
time casting curious giances upon the
people to be seen at a Partisan rail
way station.

smiling.
WHO is that? demands Dick, sus
piciously.

Pauline.

provoking Dora, which remark causes
Colonel Bob to grin.

again, I suppose III have to do him

o1 the professors favorite phrase
Dora almost goes into commissions.
Now the cry is heard, "All aboard!"
Of course there is something of a
rush, for even in well regulated

he clang of a signal-bell the train |
starts.
Miss Pauline takes one sweeping |
survey OF the lighted statlon-scurry-

seems to look in vain for the one she
seeks. Finally she sinks back, and the
others can hear her one despairing |
word:
"Useless!'
Dick chances to be at window, and |
looks back into the lighted station

stroyed by fire at Fourche Friday
morning.
Walter Daum, u years of age,

exploded.
The third section of the Hagen

Hot Springs Thursday. Five cars
were derailed and a considerable
number of the show wagons and
other property was destroyed, but
no one was killed. One employee
was pretty badly injured.
The executive committee of the
Arkansas Good Roads Association
will hold a meeting in Little Rock
November Il. The annual con-
vention of the association will be
held in that city in January, and
the committee desires to stimulate
an interest sufficient to insure an
attendance of 5000 delegates.

THE STATE WINS ANTITRUST SUIT
Judgment For $4,000 Against
Packing Company For Fail
ure to Produce Witnesses

Little Rock, Oct. 27.-Arkansas
wins the suits recently brought by
the attorney general against pack
ing companies for the alleged vi
olation of the anti truss laws.
Because of the refusal of the
Hammond Packing Company to
produce witnesses and records be-
fore Special Commissioner Lyle
d. Taylor in Chicago recently,
Judge Winfield, on motion of At
torney General Rogers yesterday,
ordered the answers of the COM
pany stricken from the record and
judgment was entered against the
company for $4,000. The attor-
neys representing the packi H.
company moved for new trial,
but this was denied, and the attot-
neys were given twenty days in
which to file their bill of exceptions
and appeal to the supreme court.
Although the action is just what
was expected, it is the first point
in favor of the state in several
packing suits which were brought
some time ago by Prosecutor
Rhoton and Attorney General r.
L. Rogers. On the decision of
the Supreme court in this case de-
ponds to a great degree the final
action to be taken in the suits
against the other five packing COM
panies. These five suits will re-
main In their present state pend
ing the final decision of the SUI
preme court in this case. Should
the supreme court hold the clause
requiring officers of q foreign cor
poration to testify before a special
commissioner in another state is
constitutional, it will then be an
easy matter for the attorneys rep
resenting the state to force any OF
the officials of these companies to
testify. If the supreme court
should decide this clause is not
constitutional, then the attorney
general and his assistants will have
to take another course in the pros.
ecution of the five other packing
suits.
The action of the Pulaski circuit
court yesterday is practically what
had been agreed upon between the
attorneys representing the state
and the Hammond Packing Com
pany. The agreement was made
in Chicago, that in case Judge
Winfield agreed To strike out the
answer of the packing company
that Judgment should be rendered

GROWING COMMERCE OF ARKANSAS
Forty-tl1ree Railroads Chartered
and 77,Banks Opened in Arr
kansas i'm Last Two Years

Little Rock, Oct. %. That part
of the biennial report of the sec
rotary of state which deals with
corporations, now being compiled
by K. l.. McHaney, corporation
clerk, will show a remarkable
growth in Arkansas industries dur
ing the past two years. Although
the statistics have not been COM
pleted enough has been done to
show that in the two years more
than 200 new corporations have
filed articles with the secretary of
state. The total capitalization of
these companies is in the neigh
horhood of 800, 900, 600. During
the two years there we're but 10
companies which sure n d e re d
their charters, and in at least one
of these instances the charter was
surrendered that another might be
granted. The list includes hun
dreds of thousands of dollars that
have been brought to the state
during the past two years.
During the two years there were
seventy-seven new bank and trust
companies organized, with Arkan
sas people as stockholders. These
seventy-seven bank and trust COM
panies represent a capitalization
Of s., 617, 500. In most instances
these new banks and trust COM
panies have been in the smaller
cities of the state, showing that
the growth has been distributed
instead of centered in any one To-
cality. A study of the list of new
banks shows that practically ev-
cry section of the state is repre-
sented, indicating the general
growth and prosperity of all Sec
tons of the state, because in prac-
tically every case the stock of
these new banks and trust compan
les is held by men in the town
or vicinity where the bank is 10
Gated.
Another item in the report
shows the growth of the state and
the fact TINT foreign capital is be-
ing attracted to this state. Dur
ing the two y ears forty three new
railroads were incorporated for
the purpose of building total of
1,749 miles of new railroads. Al
though very few of the new cor
porations have completed the lines
contemplated, practically all of
them have done some work, and
in many instances the tenth of the
total road has been completed with
in the eighteen months required
by the corporation laws. In the
case of many of the smaller roads
the entire roadbed has been COM
pleted. The records do not show
and there is nothing in the Office
to show just how many miles of
this contemplated construction has
been completed.

Occasion hardship. whereas, as a

source of the discussion as to the prox-
unity OF saloons to religious edifices.
"As the churches have been drawn
into the matter. and the interest of the
priests and clergy aroused" said a
man of the cloth last evening, they
would undoubtedly much prefer an or

Attempt Made to Wreck Rock Is

MOTIVE REMAINS MYSTERY
Engine Running so Miles an Hour
Threw Obstruction OFF the
Rails.

An attempt, from motives yet to be
the west bound passenger train on the
| Rock Island road three miles east of
Green River about 8 o'clock last night.
Three ties were piled on the rails and
the engine struck them when running
at the rate of 60 miles an hour. Two
of the distractions were thrown clear
of the rails and the third fell between
them. The only damage that resulted
was the breaking of a couple of pipes
that were caught by the end of a tie in
passing
Train No. 10 was in charge of En-
gineer Lund and Conductor Wagner,
both of Chicago. 1t was composed of
eight cars fairly well loaded with hui
man freight. Had there been a derail-
ment in all likelihood there would
have been loss of life. The spot Sc
lected for the dastardly act was not an
especially dangerous one. There was no
high bank, bridge, or anything that
would have helped TO make the catas-
trophe the more terrible.
Not Robbers Work.
Neither was the neighborhood favor
able to the operations of robbers and
1t is regarded as certain by the railway
officials that this was not the object
1t is considered more likely that it
was done either for revenge for some
supposed injury at the hands of the
company or by irresponsible young
hoodlums. An investigation is in pro
gress
The train was brought to stop as
soon as possible after striking the
ties, and an examination made to learn
the extent of the damage and what
caused it. Less than an hours time
was lost.

LEWSTOWN. MONT, Feb. 10. 1906
HAS PASSED THE HOUSE..

The railroad rate bill having pass
ed the house by an almost unanimous
vote it is now before the senate TO
await the action of that august body.
The bill as passed meets the ap- |
prevail of the president and there is
no doubt but the heavy vote given it
in the house is fairly expressive of
the wishes of the people generally. |
1t remains to be seen whether the
railroad and corporation attorneys in
the upper house will attempt TO de-
feat the bill or seek to render it nuga-
tory in correcting the abuses com
planned of. Already threats are made
of talking the bill to death. If this
is true it should mean the political
death of all of those engaged in it.
The following is a summary of the
bill as it passed the house:
The bill according to Mr.. Hepbun's
statement. in closing the debate on the
measure was intended and did. so
far as it could be made, ne said. com
ply specifically with the recommen
dations of President Roosevelt on the
rate question 1t gives the Interstate
commerce commission authority. when
a rate has been complained of as "un-
reasonable" by a shipper, to invest-
gate that rate, state whether or not
it is unreasonable. and if found I'M
Il nif,1, Il. tf,
be just and reasonable and fairly re-
munerative. and which is to be the
maximum rate to be charged.
This rate 50 fixed is to go into eff
feet thirty days after it is announced
by the commission, subject during
that time to be set aside or suspended
by the commission or by the courts.
After il has gone into effect it is to
remain the rate for three years Dur
inS that time, according to the opin-
ion that has been expressed by those
who have participated in the debate,
the rate may also be reviewed by
the courts and if found to be in con-
aict either with the terms of the act
or with the constitution. by being
confiscatory, it can be set aside by the
courts.
Another important feature is the
definition of the word railroad and
transportation in manner to include
all auxiliary instrumentalities of the
common carrier and to bring them
within the control of the commission.
This power to name a reasonable
rate and the inclusion of the auxil-
iaries within the jurisdiction of the
commission are the new features. All
other provisions are notifications of
the existing law. They include pub
hcty of railroad methods, which is to
be aided by prescribing system of
bookkeeping, and enlarging the COM
mission to seven members and in
creasing salaries of members to $40,
600
