LADD LOSES DAMAGE SUIT
Verdict of sIo,ooo Given Mrs. John M'
 Scott for Husbands Death.

Little Rock, Ark, Nov. 24.- Tue jury in the United States cir cult court in the case of Mrs. Elm ma Scott against E. P. Ladd, the Jefferson county lumber manu- facturer, returned a verdict late this afternoon in favor of Mrs. Scott for $Io,ooo. Mrs. Scott sued for $50, ,ooo damages on the ac- count of the killing of her hus- band, John M. Scott, about year ago, by Ladd. Scott was em- ployed in the Ladd mill at the town of Ladd, in Jefferson county, and the two had some misunder- standing which resulted ln the killing of Scott by Ladd. The Jefferson county grand jury twice investigated the charge of murder against Ladd and each time failed to present true bill against him. The civil suit for damages then followed. Attorneys for defendant were given until next Saturday to file a mo ton for new trial.

Notice.

Several cases of conta gious dis eases are known to have existed in this city recently, but no such case has been reported to me, as is required by Ordinance No. I36, which I quote below:
 "It is hereby made the duty oi every person living ill the town of Conway to promptly report to the mayor any case of smallpox, scar let fever, diptheria or other conta- gious or infectious diseases or any disease SUSPECTED to be con- tagious or Infectious disease, of which he or she may have knowl- edge; and any person who shall fail or refuse to report any such case .of contagious or infectious disease of which he has knowl- edge shall be guilty of a misde- meanor and upon conviction shall be fined in any sum not less than S nor more than S25."
 I wish to direct the attention of all persons, and especially the physicians of this city, to the pro- visions of the above ordinance. I have been serving as mayor for nearly a year and a half and dur ing that time numerous cases ot contagious or infectious diseases have occurred here, yet not sin gle case has ever been reported to me. I think this is due mainly to an ignorance of the fact that such law exists, but it is necessary that the provisions of this ordi- nance be carried out in order that I may immediately bring all such matters before the city board of health for investigation. Hereaf- ter all will be presumed to know the law and will be dealt with ac- cordingly.

prisonment.
 Under this law the commission CT of immigration has ordered all of the twenty-tour immigrants whom Costello brought over to be sent back to their former homes in Eng land, except two or three of the number who will be retained as witnesses in suit to be brought against the Textile Club and Cos tello. The governor of North Car olina is equally guilty, but will not be made a defendant. The people of Charlotte will be required to pay all the expense of sending the immigrants back to their homes, but this will probably be all the punishment that will be imposed upon them, because it is conceded at the department of justice that the members of the Textile Club, the governor of North Carolina and all others concerned, except Cos tello, were acting with the most innocent intentions, without real izing that they were engaged in a criminal proceeding"
 MT. Curtis goes on to say, how ever, that "a state or a territory or the District of Columbia can law fully advertise the inducements they offer for immigrants. Section 6 of the law of March 5, 1903, al- lows that, but neither cities nor towns nor counties can lawfully do so. It can only be done by ofhc- ials appointed and paid by state authority. If private individuals or clubs or organizations of any kind furnish the means to pay the expenses of advertising agents it spells the whole job. "
 And so if Commissioner Tucker succeeds in developing sentiment in favor of immigration to Arkan- sas, it may be that the legislature will provide means for its promo fiOn.

MNIGR4 TION.

Commissioner Guy B. Tucker of the state bureau of mines, manufac- lures, and agriculture has joined In a movement to divert a part of the European immigration to south ern states. He recently attended a meeting of the Southern Immigra- tion and Industrial Conference at Nashville, and returned enthusiast ically in favor of the purposes of this organization. Commissioner Tucker is now corresponding with prominent men throughout the state, asking their opinions as to the advisability of calling a mass meeting in December to organize a state immigration society.
 This is a movement that should meet with the hearty approval of the people of the state. Labor was never so plentiful and laborers never so scarce, perhaps, in the history of Arkansas. European immigrants make the best possible additions to our citizenship, and do more to develop the wealth of a country than any other class. The German and French citizens of our own county bear witness to this fact. Accustomed as they were in the "old country" to making every inch of soil count, to oppressive taxation, burdensome military du- ties and many other disadvantages, they soon become well-to-do citi- izens when the bountiful resources sof our nation are placed at their disposal.

Io.- The people of the several cotton growing counties of the state are hereby called to meet at their county sites on Saturday, Decem- Der I, at 10 o'clock a. m. to elect county officers of their several counties, and also elect at least one delegate to attend the state meet ing of the Arkansas Division Southern Cotton Association, to be held at Little Rock, Wednes- day, Jan. ?, 1907, at Io: :o clock a.

 It is very important that we should have good representation at said state meeting, as there will be matters of great importance to be discussed.

 Don't fail to send a representa- tive to Little Rock.
 Yours for success,

The United States immigration laws, however, are very strict and contain some provisions which ought to be carefully investigated before active steps are taken by any organization. In an interesting letter published in the Chicago Record Herald the other day, Will liam E. Curtis describes the pre- dicament in whach a number of citizens of North Carolina have gotten themselves by unwittingly violating the national immigration laws.
 It seems that the city of Char lotte, the members of the Textile Club and other mill owners and planters who are suffering for the want of labor got together about a year ago and decided to adopt the recommendation of MT. Sargent, the commissioner of immigration, and try to divert part of the great stream of strangers that are coming to seek homes in the United States to their section of the country. They appointed committee, which having discovered that the state of North Carolina has no bureau of immigration and no money appro- priated to pay for advertising its op- portunities and advantages to i'm migrants, decided to furnish the funds by private subscription. An emissary was sent to England, and offered a bonus of $25 to every i'm migrant who would settle in Char lotte. A party of twenty-four were brought over, and in some way the national immigration officials learn ed of the matter and started an in- vestigation.
 "The inspectors who went to Charlotte found no difficulty in getting the; e;facts, writes "Mr. Curtis "and upon their information Com missioner Sargent sent the case over to the department of justice, calling attention to the fact that the entire proceeding was in viol- ation of the immigration act of March 8, 1903.
 "Section 6 of that act declares it to be unlawful to assist or encour- age the importation or migration of any alien by promise of employ ment, and forbids anyone either by writing, printing, or oral repre- sentations, to solicit, invite, or en- courage the immigration of aliens into the United States under a penalty of $I ,ooo in each case, or from three months to two years i'm

A Modest Philosopher.

John Stuart Mill was an unassuming
philosopher. He strove to give his wife
the credit of his works, and he was new
er pretentious in claiming precedence
among men. Hiss Cobbe in her Life
relates this anecdote of Mr. Mills mod
esty:
She was talking to him one day about
the difficulty Of doing mental work
when disturbed by the music Of street
bands and instanced the case of gen.
tleman who was thrown into frenzy
by their noise.
cit does not interfere with my work"
said Mr.. Mill.
Miss Cobbe remarked that Herbert
Spencer was much annoyed by such
disturbance.
'Ah, yes, of coursev' rejoined the
modest man. Writing Spencer's works
one must have quietv'
He was so unconscious of the free
dom from disturbance required to write
his own System Of Logic" and "Po-
litical Economy" that he would allow,
while writing, his cat to lie on his table
or on his neck. His gentleness and his
absorption in his theme protected him.

Doctors Must Know Tastes.

"Do doctors know how their own
medicine fastest" was question put
to a group of physicians.
''TO be sure" said one, "but we have
hard work to convince our patients
that we do. If you only knew how
this beastly stuff tastes, doctor, you
wouldn't ask me to take it, is the
complaint they make when dosed with
an especially disagreeable connection.
And they are hard headed people, too,
who say that, people who are by no
means raving in delirium. No matter
how sincerely I may protest it is hard
to persuade them that l do know how
the stuff tastes just as well as they
do.
elbow did you find out about it?' is
one of their trump questions. You
have never been laid up with all the
diseases in the dictionary. How did
you learn what the different remedies
taste like?'
eft never occurs to the average pa
tient that tasting drugs is a part c< {
medical students education, and that
no man is qualified to practice until he
has learned the flavor Of the medicines
he prescribes."

Remembrance.

Can d dsys. forget the sweetness of old
That s fingers like the scent of April
Can she forget her deep and winding
ways,
Her joy embosomed hours?
What voice could hush her soul revealing
That almost seem to kiss in their ca
reSS,
Or Tilt like music from full throated birds
Ingulfed in happiness?
There is no power to make the heart
forget
The dewey softness shining in Loves
eyes;
When lips have kissed and souls in pas
sion met,
That moment never dies
For Love regards her memories more than
And treasures oft the falling of tear;
She hides her secrets in ambroSial night,
In silence makes them clear.
And when Love, like the spiendor OF the
rose,
Droops to the enc and her soft petals
fall
She, through sad eyes, can see the past
unclose,
And eddying bliss recall.
Could she forget how madly life did swell,
When heart knocked heart in rapture
and regret,
And joy met sorrow in a long farewell,
Could Love such love forget?
