Insane Asylum Crowded.

Unless some arrangements are soon made the authorities at the State Hos pital for Nervous Diseases, claim they will be unable to receive any more in mates. At present there are about 490 inmates of the hospital, 404 of which are women. The female wards are all filled, and until the addition which is to be built in the fall for the ac commodation of the women inmates is completed no more can be accommO- dated unless arrangements are made to place them in another ward. The mems wards are not filled, but there is not room for more than 100 additional. The Garland county ward is filled, and as each county is allowed certain num- Der of inmates, afflicted patients from that county will have to be kept in the county jail at Hot Springs unless the officials of that county can make ar rangements to use the ward of some other county. Superintendent H. B. Stinson says that the hospital has more inmates at the present time than it has had for years. He says that the 32 wards are practically full, as trs capacity of the institution is but about 1,O4O, and there is within a hundred of that number now being cared for at the hospital.

Investigating Complaints.

Commissioner J. E. Hampton of the Arkansas Railroad Commission has gone to investigate complaints as to rates and other matters on the Ar kansas Southwestern Railroad. This investigation covers practically the same grounds as the differences be- tween the railroads and the shippers on the Arkansas Midland Railroad, ad- iusted some time ago. Commissioner Hampton will investigate complaints at Okolona and other points along the line. Citizens of these places desire to have the railroad give them main line rates, which are materially less than the local rates now in force. While away on this trip, Commission CT Hampton will also investigate com plaints against the Iron Mountain al Sayre. Ouachita county. The citizens of this place desire new depot. The erection of a depot was provided by enactment of the last legislature, but the railroad has not been able to be- gin the construction of the station.

State Capital Notes

Little Rock-A real estate dealer is authority for the statement that one of the best peach orchards in the State may be located within six miles of Little Rock next year. On the West Twelfth street pike, near what is known as the Cunningham place. it has been determined by q Johnson county man that the conditions are similar to the peach growing lands of Johnson and other famous fruit coun ties in the State. Tracts are being bought in this territory and are being sold in plots containing five, ten and fifteen acres. Talking about fruit, the real estate men called atention to the fact that Arkansas is becoming more famous each year OH account of it's wonderful fruit lands. The resources from fruit alone will amount to mil lions of dollars this year. It is believed by Guy E. Tucker, commission CT of mines, manufactures and agri- double that of last year in Arkansas. He has no definite figures to date on the crop, but he expects to make a tour of the State within few weeks. He will figure on the output according to cars. When it becomes generally known through the states that Arkan- sas is the garden spot of the Union for fruit raising, real estate men believe fruit producing lands will boom In price.

Price of Lumber Down.

The price of lumber in this state has been on the decline for several weeks. Lumbermen say that the drop is due to several reasons, the principal one being that usually in July and August building Is not so extensive, and conse- quently the amount of lumber sold during these months is less than that in January and February and the months of early spring. Another req son advanced by dealers Is that for some reason unknown to the lumber men the railroads have not been pur- chasing as extensively during the past month as heretofore

Order of County Judge Final.

Attorney General Kirby says that when a county judge of Arkansas has once made an order to the effect that neither liquors nor wine may be sold within three miles of church house, that order must and does stand until the County Court, acting upon petl' tioo of the adult inhabitants of the ar fected district, shall revoke his pre- vious order.

Inmates of Reform School.

There are now two little girls, 8 and $ years of age. whose home was at Morrilton, in the reform school. They were not sent to, the institution for any wrongdoing on their part, but cause they were charges upon Conway county, which has no way of providing for them. The two children, it is said, were deserted by their mother some time ago, and the father neglected to provide for them. They were left upon charity and the good people of Mor- rilton, who knew of their condition, provided for them. It was finally de- cided to place them in the reform school, to remain there until homes could be secured for them. There are now sixteen boys and girls in the in' stitution and two more are expected from Saline county during the coming week.

County Judges Must Appoint.

In an opinion regarding the appoint ment of road overseers to fill yacan- cies, Attorney General Kirby holds that such appointment does rot de- vo,ve upon the governor, that county courts have exclusive jurisdiction over the roads of their respective counties and that it is the duty of the county iudges to fill the vacancies.

The Dixie Life Insurance Company of Arkansas has filed papers of incor- poration with the secretary of state. This company has an authorized cap italization of s200,000 and it's offices will be located at Little Rock, all Of the temporary officers with two sx- captions being local men. The com pany will begin business January l, 1908. This is the first company or ganized in Arkansas to do an insur- ance business on old line principles. although another is now being organ iZed at Fort Smith. Nearly 100 sim liar companies have been organized within the past three years, and Ne vada and Wyoming are now the only states which have not home insur- ance company. The remarkable in. crease in local institutions is ascribed to the trouble which the eastern com panies experienced at the time of the life insurance Investigations.

BRYAN AND THE TARIFF.
Democratic Leader Playing Politics In
His Speeches.

Mr.. Bryan would have the tariff re-
vised right away. At least he talks that
way. Maybe he would talk differently
II his party were in power. He would
then be Obliged to look at the matter
In what In politics is called a practical
light. AS the matter stands, he Is look
ing at It purely In the light Of party
advantage. Not relief for the people
from heavy schedules, but embarrass-
ment for the Republicans In the ma.
tional campaign Is his object.
We should see some al l.around poll
tics played with the tariff II the Re-
publicans could be badgered into taxi
ling It up next month. The Demo
cratic programme would be as plain as
a pikestar. and be followed strictly.
Mr.. Bryan might be tempted to appear
and direct operations from the cloak
rooms OF the house. Delay would be
the word from the outset. A long SEES.
sion-reaching into September II pos
sible-wonld be the aim of the mi
nority. No bill until fall, so as to
leave as little time as possible for the
majority to explain the performance
in full from the stump. Such tactics
were employed In 1890 against the Nc.
Kinley bill, and had much to do with
the Republican defeat that year. The
voters repudiated the bill in a few
weeks after its enactment into law,
and yet six years later elected its
author president, with instructions to
assist in the writing of a new law
upon the same lines. This was done,
and that law Is now ten years old.
Mr.. Bryan's demand is all the poll
ties that now remains in the tariff is.
sue for his party. Tariff revision is
assured at last. The most stubborn
cede that new schedules are on the
cards. In their national platform the
Republicans next year will declare
themselves, and the work then prom.
ised will probably be performed at an
extra session of the Sixty-first cor.
gress, called for that express purpose.
During the campaign we shall hear
something about protection and free
trade. Mr.. Bryan and his friends will
argue from the assertion that protec.
ton is the mother Of trusts, and that
the surest means OF dealing with
trusts is to destroy protection. The
Republicans should welcome that de.
ba~te-should welcome even the most
yelled attack on a system which
stands so thoroughly justified by ex.
p%erience. II protection cannot be de-
Tended, nothing can be. It was never
more deserving Of the title the Amer
lean policy" than It Is today, with
America. under its application, in the
front rank of producing and fourishing
~nations.-Washington Star.

The Startling Message.

She had looked up. only to be blind.

hands before her eyes. The flame per.
sistently annoyed her. She moved
from her seat. 1t pursued her.
Again she looked up; and even from
this height | could see that she was
frowning In her anger and annoyance.
She seated herself at another bench.
But she could not shake off her tor
mentor. 1t no longer beat on her face
and person: II moved steady toward
her, then travelled along the path OF
the promenade; trespassed into the
garden of a cottage; shot by the cot
tage itself: halted at a huge wooden
signboard, on which was inscribed a
long advertisement in French pro.
claiming the exalted merits of a Swiss
chocolate.

signboard. 1t paused at a capital let

Patiently and persistently the little
beam Of light repeated its antics,
Again 1t moved, swiftly this time, to
the signboard. And nov she turned in
her seat and watched 1t until 1t again
paused at the letter I.
Twice the mirror was flashed on the

He had flashed his message success

upward toward the chateau, nodded
excitedly, and again eagerly watched
the signboard. She was not to be dis

added:
