articles are marked in plain figures and
are offered at one price only. OF course,
there are stores where the price as
marked is entirely different from the
figure at which the article may be final
ly purchased and from the vendors at
the railway stations the price might be
named two dollars and in the same
breath, How much you give?"
The visitor quickly learns values and
soon knows about what he should pay
for an article; or at least he thinks he
does.
In a journey of this kind a Mexican
is seen in his extremes. Thousands in
the country districts and In the smaller
towns dwell in habitations, which are
mere huts, caves and dug-outs, poor shell
tiers for the horses, cows and live stock
of our farmers. Indeed, a Kansas farm
er would be ashamed to house his do
nestle animals as the common Mex1canS
house themselves and their families in
shelters with a door which takes the
place of both a window and a means of
going in and out.
In contrast with the degraded modes of
living of certain Mexicans may be cited
the luxury, enterprise and culture OF the
family of Carlos Zuloaga, whose ranch,
or hacienda, of a million and half
acres is on the Orient line between Chi
huahua and Ruchibo.
The head of this family was an old
time friend of Mr., Stilwell. He died
few months ago. His homestead is
about mile from the railway and is
called Bustillos. The manager of the
property sent stage coaches down to
our train to convey the party to his
headquarters.
The ranch has been for three hundred
years in one family. There are three
thousand employees
A beautiful chapel has been built out
of material from the land itself and
by the people who work the estate. In
the chapel is a fine organ. On the dome
and interior walls are paintings showing

try the value of sisal exported is greater
than that of the gold. Sisal, which goes
into the manufacture of rope and Irvine
and is used extensively at the state
prison in Kansas, is exported from
Mexico to the extent of millions of dol
lars annually. The Orient will receive
big revenues from the sisal shipments.
En- route to the City of Mexico the
tourists stopped at three different cities,
each with a popula ton nearly or quite
as large as that of Topeka. The first
of these is Torreon, a modern, enterpris-
ing city, the headquarters for a mining,
live stock and rubber production, city
which is but twelve or fifteen years old.
Further along came Zacatecas, town

the hosiery seemed to be built.
Porches surrounded this park opening
toward it from both of the two stories
of the hotel. In a corner of the park
was the office.
Three of US had a suite of rooms, in
GLIDING three separate bedrooms, lit

A STORY WITH A MORAL.

There was once d young man
who had face on him that would
sometimes wake him up in the
night and occasionally when he
would look at a stray dog it would
go away and have fit.
This young man loved a maiden
and wanted to give her his heart
and hand, but she gave him the
ha, ha, " and told him if he could
trade his face off for Il patent med
icine cut or hang chrome over
his mouth, she might consider his
proposition.
/ The young man went away sor-
rowful and also hot under his Gel
luloid collar, but it cured him of
most of his foolishness.
He started the next week for
the =klondike and opened up a
restaurant and came back in T
years with three million dollars.
The young woman who had
given him the marble heart four
years ago was still single, and was
getting into that class where about

THOMPSON IN FISTlC COUP
Resented Being Called "Little Tur-
nip Slip" and Fight Resulted.

Little Rock, Feb. 9.-Represen-
tatives w. NJ. Thompson of In
dependence county and A. H.
Rowell of Jefferson county, got
together yesterday afternoon
directly after the adjournment of
the House, and but for the inter
terrence of friends it is quite like
ly that the results would have been
more serious. AS it was there are
some who declare Mr.. Rowell
landed a couple, while others de-
clare that neither struck a blow,
but took it out in talk. The diff
fculty was the result of the debate
on the Amis Anti Betting Bill, be-
fore the House yesterday after
noon. Mr.. Rowell, chairman Il
the Judiciary Committee, support
ed Mr.. Quinn of Garland County
in his efforts to have the bill go to
the Judiciary Committee in order
to allow the people of Hot Springs
to appear, and to present other
data regarding the case.
Mr.. Thompson opposed the
action, and made strong plea for
immediate action. He declared
that sending the bill to the Judi
ciary Committee would mean
much delay. This brought Mr..
Rowell to his feet and he very in
digantly replied that he did not
want the committee on judiciary
referred to in any such manner by
the little turnip slip from indie
pendence county, referring to
Mr.. Thompson.
Friends of Mr.. Thompson noted
that the remarks struck deep and
alter adjournment his calling MIR.
RoWell to account was not unex-
pected. While in the hall Mr..
Thompson accosted Mr.. Rowell
and demanded to know the inten-
ton of Mr. Roweli7s remarks.
Before any serious trouble had oc
Cured they we're separated, and
later, in the Statehouse grounds,
they came together again, but
many declare that neither struck q
blow.
The occurrence is regretted by
the friends of both gentlemen.
Both are highly respected, and
from their respective viewpoints
made a most excellent argument
on the Amis bill.

SQUIRE THARP'S DEFENSE
He Explains Matters Relating to
Recent Discharge of Arnold.

To The Newark Journal:
In the issue of The journal Of
January the 25th, | notice that
Mayor Arnold and myself are re
ferred to in connection with certain
cases which were brought before
our courts in which one Whorton
Arnold had been arraigned for
the clandestine sale of whisky.
Now, the facts as to my proceed
ings in this matter are as follows:
On Dec. 80, 1906, I. II. Dear
ing filed before me an affidavit
charging Whorton Arnold with
clandestine sale of whisky and on
the same day E. r. Jefery filed
an information against the said
Whorton Arnold covering the
affidavit filed by T. II. bearing,
and stating that the said Arnold
had been continuously engaged is
said clandestine saIe of whisky
since the 28th day of Oct 1906,
and asked that a warrant OF search
be issued to search said Whorton
Arnold's place Of business here
upon | issued said warrant, auth
orizing said search and also com
handing the officer to arrest any
and all parties found therein en-
gagged in said clandestine sale of
whisky, and this warrant was de
livered to one Mr.. Paisley deputy
sheriff, for service. Now comes
the officer after having made the
search as directed, aud having
Whorton Arnold under arrest for
the clandestine sale of whisky,
and his trial day being set for Jan.
2, 1906, and on that daF he APP
peared for trial and his attorney
asked that this case he dismissed
as to the time from Oct. Is, to
Dec. ID, stating that the said
Whorton Arnold Ind been pre-
viously tried and acquitted for
q similar charge covering that
period of time, and produced the
Mayors docket to prove this fact.
-Thdreupon | ruled that the former
trial before Mayor Arnold was
bar to further prosecution under
this charge for the period o. tree
from Get 2Sh to Dec. e, the
charges being similar. Thereupon
the attorneys Tor the prosecutors,
Hons. S N. Casey aud /. J.
Matheny, asked that the ease be
TischaTged, which was done.
Now the above are the cold facts
in this ease and YOU have hereto,
fore seen The docket entries Of
Mayor Arnold, as published in
The Journal Of jan %, upon
which / based my ruling The
law governing the same you may
find by referring to both the con
stitution of the United States and
the State of Arkansas, which state
that person shall not be tried
twice for the same #ofense. Now
as to who is responsible, ] am re-
sponsible for tho r1Iio@I made in !

Raise in Salary for congressman.

An amendment to the legislative.
executive and judicial applopria-
ton bill. increasing the salary
of NE nbers of Congress from
"a, 900 to $1,000 a year. WI
iammed through the House of
Representatives Friday. The pro-
ceeding possessed features which
were most unusual. and in some
respects was, perhaps, without
parallel in the history OF Congress.
Having in mind the exhibition of
cowardice which a majority of the
members gave a month ago when,
on an aye and nay vote, they de-
feated the proposed increase. the
promoters of the scheme had it all
arranged that there should be no
roll call this time. They had
made man-to-man canvass be-
forehand. and been assured that
there would be enough votes to
carry the proposition. BY fixing
it up that there should be no rec
ord of the vote, every member
who is afraid his constituel IS
would disapprove of the increase
will be able to claim that he OPP
posed it whether he did so or not.
There are few men in the House
not in favor of a substantial
addition in compensation, but at
least three-fifths of them have a

is sufficient remuneration. That
is why the increase was knocked

why the House was so bitterly
disappointed when the. Senate re-
fused to restore it when the legis-
lative bill was under consideration
of that body a few days ago.

Judge Carnes.

Judge VIM. Carnes has attained
a notoriety that has not been ac-
corded to any other Kentuckian.
In effect, Judge Carnes is on trial
before the Court of Appeals.
Judge Carnes is 80 years of age.
Up to 1888 he was an ardent Re-
publican. Since then he has been
Democrat. His county. Grant.
is 800 Democratic. He has run
70. County Judge twice, once for
Commonwealth Attorney, and
once was ele, ted G unity Attorney.
He was strong for Senator
Blackburn until just before. the
election, when he came out for
Paynter. He was enthusiastic for
Senator McCreaiy until Just before
the primary when he changed to
Gov. Beckham. Since then, he
has been appointed by Gov. Beck
ham to try a number of important
cases: one in the Boone Circuit
Court and one at Covington.
Without knowing Judge Carnes,
we expressed the hope in former
issues that he had sufficient char
acter to withstand, any criticism
that would be made on him. for
his having accepted appointment
as special Judge Mt the hands of
Gov. Beellllam. After investiga-
ton and in the light of recent
events. we have relin1uisned that
,hope. ASun-Septinel.
Since Editor Perry wrote the
above the Court of Appeals has
passed on the rulings of Judge
Carnes and has affirmed him in all
except one. The court has seri-
ously. and faithfully considerable
action of this severely criticised
Judge and the matter is at rest for
the present, Brother Perry.
