J. s. Hawkins Says He May Be in the Race For State Senator in This County at the Coming
 Election.

Secretary J. s. Hawkins of the Ar kansas Good Roads Association, may be a candidate for the State Senate from the Eleventh Senatorial District, says the Little Rock Gazette. Secre- tary Hawkins has not yet made any announcement, but from the fact that the good roads movemena in Arkansas will place before the next Legislature many matters of special importance to the State at large, he is said to be considering the move. From various sections Of the State he has been urg- ed to make the race, but has not de- cided to do so until after he has con- ferred with his friends in Pine Bluff. He spends much of his time in this city, where his headquarters are, but his citizenship is in Jefferson county, and that is his home. He is expected to go there within a short time, to

road Commission will meet again Wednesday morning in Little Rock, and he is trying to get all the par
 ties interested in getting the flat
 rate on cotton established to attend the meeting in body. The object of this is to show the members of the Commission that Pine Bluff is anX- ious for the flat rate and for an aboI- ishment of the old concentration rate, which causes ] large amount of
 the cotton, usually shipped to this
 city, to be unloadad at McGehee and other small places and compressed there.
 The matter was considered at the last meeting Of the Commission in the Capital City, and it is thought that a victory for the local cotton men can easily be secured if they vii!
 only attend the meeting and show the Commission they mean business
 At the last meeting of the Commis- sion, Secretary J, l.. Caldwell of the
 Pine Bluff Board of Trade; P. P. Byrd and E. c. Howell were the only
 Pine Bluffians who were present, and Helena, the principal other place af- fected by the action of the Commits sion, was represented by similar delegation. At the meeting Wedens-
 day Helena aXDectS to be reDreSented
 by a large body of enthusiastic citi-
 zens and Secretary Caldwell thinks that Pine Bluff should do her part in
 helping to establish this flat rate. This willtprobably be the last action taken on this subject by the Commis-
 sion, and it is the last chance that the local cotton buyers will have to have the flat rate established.

MED|COS ID FIGHT
 QUACK MEDICINES Prominent Physicians of Baltimor4. Md, Here Con- ferring Viii. Local Physi- cians
ETHICAL PREPARATIO
Is Fay0red-Irying to Bring Druggists and Physicians Together - Local Physicians Are Opposed to Quaek Preparations and Denounce Them.

Doctor A. w. P. Andrews, a promi- nent physician of Baltimore, Maryland who has been in the city for the past few days in the interest of a piomi- nent New York firm, who are dght:n, fraudulent patent medicines, did a large amount of work in this city in regard to suppressing the use of quack medicines. Doctor Andrews is 3 graduate of the Medical Department of Yale University, and has been ad- dressing the medical associations al most of the towns which he has visit ed. It was impossible for him to ah- dress the Jefferson County Medical Society on account of the short time he was able to stay in this city, but he saw large number of the physi- clans of this city individually, and he says that they will join the physicians of other cities of the state and from all over the country in their fight against quack medicines.
 This movement started with the Pure Food Bill recently passed by Congress, and has gained a great headway by this time. Doctor Andrews is enthused over his work, and states that though he is working in this part of the field now, he has done work for the Pure Food Bill in a direct way. He has inspected and analysed large. numbers of the late foods and canned goods which have been placed on the market for the public, and that he confidently expects to see a reform ation in that department of the work in a very few years.
 Doctor Andrews has travelled exten- sively throughout the country, and has been very successful in bringing drug gist and physician together in the mat ter of having ethical preparations adopted and sold by druggists in lieu of the proprietary preparations rec ognized to some extent by the physi- clans and yet advertised extensively like ordinary quack medicines. It was with this object in view that Doctor Andrews came to Pine Bluff. As result of his talk committee will probably be named to confer with a similar committee in other cities of the state concerning this important ues- tion. Doctor Andrews is confident of reconciling the doctors and druggists of this section in the matter of uni- form formulae with reference to ethi- cal preparations.
 "As for the quack medicines said member of the medical society, "why, we denounce those, of course. We are not considering them at all in this discussion

 tim of Mysterious
 Work.

The little baby of Deputy Constable J. B. Francis, while out riding in a baby carriage with a negro nurse yes terday afternoon, was terribly bruised and it's .arms and legs were badly in- jured. A large sore was also found on the child's head by it's parents on it's return home. The baby buggy was broken to- pieces and the condition of the child and buggy indicated gen. eral mix up. The nurse claimed that the child had fallen out of the buggy, and that she, in trying to catch it, stepped into the buggy and broke it.. There was a large crowd of negro girls out walking with the nurse, and the officers have warrants for them, as the tale the girls told is not believed. MT. Francis said this morning that a number of such accidents had recently happened with small babies, and that he intended to arrest number of the nurses.

SAFE ROBBED
 0F e1,240 CASH Drug Store of $. M. Miller, Well Known Negro, En tered by Thieves Who Take Large Sum.
FOUR ARRESTS MADE
Negroes Under Arrest Deny Charge No Money RecOyered-R0bbery Occurred Several Nights Ago, But Was Kept Secret by Authorities.

One of the most daring robberies and perhaps involving a larger amount of money than any that has taken place in this city recently was perpetrated last Wednesday night when the safe belonging to Doctor 5 M. Miller, negro proprietor of a drug store at No. 51S East Third ave- nue, was opened and footed of S1,240 The key to the small cash drawer in the safe was taken from Doctor Mill ler's clothes while he was sleeping. The key was carried away by the robbers and the drawer-focked up again, and until late Friday evening Doctor Miller thought that he had misplaced the key, and did not worry about it. He thought though that he had better deposit the money in the bank, and so had the lock broken, on ly to find his money gone. The po-
 lice authorities gave out the first news of the robbery today.
 The reason that so much money was in his safe during the night was that he had made cash sale of some real estate in this city belonging to him, and as banking houses were closed, he could not deposit the mon ey that evening. He said that he did not think that anyone knew that the i,, Eic cofo hot h a thought it would certainly not be dis turbed.
 Four negroes, Fannie Harris, Joe Barner, Lee Alyles and Nellie Ded- man, have been arrested by Deputy Constable J. B. Francis and, he be- lieves he has the right parties. The days on the robbery. These are the only arrests made. It has been found out that these negroes slept over the drug store conducted by Doctor Mill Ter the night of the robbery, staying with the people who sleep there.
 Circumstantial evidence points IO CACu do UCAA6 1AApAACoICu in the robbery, the police say, as Doctor Miller says that it must have been done by some one in the house, as no signs of any forced entrance into the building have been found They were the only people who stay ed in the building with the exception of Doctor Miller and his family.
 The robbery has been kept quiet by the officers in order that they might catch the guilty parties before they could take warning and leave the city. The suspected parties have been searched by the authorities and officers and their apartments have been searched, but none of the mon- ey, which it is alleged they stole has been found. What has become of the money is a mystery.
 The trial has been set before Jus tice L. D. Cheek this afternoon at 3 o'clock, but as some other cases are to be heard before this one, it is very probable that the case must be con- timed.

STATE MAY ASK
 BANKS FUR LOAN Governor to Thoroughly In vestigate Situation Con- fronting Officials of School and Pension Funds FLING AT THE BOARD Attorney General Kirby Says Conn., missiOners Are singular Bunch of Quitters'-Offers to Pay Costs.
FLING AT THE BOARD
3N Attorney General Kirby Says Conn.,

Some means which will permit the disbursement of the common school fund and the Confederate pension fund, without the necessity of call- ing a special session of the legisla- ture to pass an emergency appropri- ation bill, will, it is said, be devised by Acting Governor Pindall, says the Little Rock Gazette. What this move will be he refuses to state until he <has made an investigation and~deter- Hines something feasible.
 Governor Pinda1l has been opposed to the calling of a special session ot the legislature ever since the matter was first agitated. To relieve the state capitol commissioners in the Excitement in which they find them aalves the construction of the state house would not be considered by lin as sufficient reason for a special session, But when the opinion of the attorney general had the same effect un two of the most important funds in the state that it did on the state
 ktol fund, it became a different kter. and the question demanded z cf federation. A special session will R,SShis last resort, and will only be x191ed when all other means have 1a0ed.
 Auitor Moore will follow the ln- bretation of the attorney general
 h regard to the two funds, in the 2a21 ctest sense, until he has been re- led by a legal decision which will |f1 strue his future actions. State |S asurer Yates will also abide by opinion of the attorney general. < h these two state officials stand
 as barriers against the drawing
 Further warrants on the funds Tn
 stion, the plan that Governor Pin will pursue can only be con-
 ured in one way-that t.Ae banks z be asked to carry the state for
 two years that will intervene be-
 the General Assembly meets in
 ular session and advance the mon
 for the operation of the common
 pols and for the payment of the
 sioners as it is needed. There
 Id only be one obstacle to the
 cess of this plan and that would
 the amount of interest demanded,
 whether the state would save
 hey by that course over the ex-
 se of a special session.
 What Governor Pindall's plan is
 be announced during the com
 week. To the Gazette last night
 stated that his course would pc
 ded by results of the investiga-
 hs he will undertake to prevent
 calling of special session, put
 that he would issue complete
 tement in the next few days.
 Attorney General Kirby was also led for an opinion as to whether re could not be a course devised 1t would allow the expenditure Of money now in the common school < nd and the pension fund without course to the passage of an appro- 1ation bill in special session Of yha legislature. MT. Kirby reiterated original intention not to be drawn
 b the discussion with reference to meeting of the state capitol mmissioners and the action they bk in disagreeing to his opinion b the further expenditure of the
 te capitol fund.
