AFTER REVENGE
President Cabrera Arrests f5o of His
 Alleged Enemies.

Mexico City. July.-Word has reach cd Mexico City that President Cabre- ra of Guatemala has caused the ar rest of 160 citizens of that republic on the charge of alleged complicity in the recent attempt to assassinate him. All were thrown into prison and later herded into squads of 20 and tried in groups. Two bands have been tried. and many of the accused sentenced to death Among the men imprisoned are some of the most wealthy and promi- nent men in the country.
 The statement is made that these men have long been on Cabrera's black list, and that the charges against them were trumped up for political reasons.
 The report has created great excite ment among Central American resi- dents in this capital. and at a mass meeting 10 be held Sunday the matter will be discussed.
 When the news of the wholesale ar rests became generally known the di- plomatic corps, with the exception of Philip NJ. Brown. the United States charge q affaires. protested. No atten- tion was paid to these protests by Pres ident Cabrera The British minister was thereupon charged with drawing up note detailing the incidents of the trial which was characterized as q farce This note is to be sent to the powers.
 The report states that absolute chaos reigns in Guatemala. Farm hands are being pressed for military service, and crops are rotting in the fields. The rich are threatened with ruin unless they contribute to the war fund. Troops are being hurriedly rushed to the Mex iean frontier, the Honduran border and to Salvador Special trains of artillery are being sent out to the frontier. The legations are being besieged by rela- lives and friends of the imprisoned men, who fear that they will be uneefe- m0niously put to death.

Hardly had he swung himself from the roof when he discovered that one of the knots in the improyised rope was slipping He endeavored to climb back above the knot. but finding he could not do it he abandoned the rope. and placing his hands on win dow sill hung there for many minutes. Finally his strength gave way and he fell to the ground, breaking both of his legs. Some time ago Beckwith attempt ed to starye himself to death in the iail

State Capital Notes


Little Rock--The question has been raised as to whether election commits sioners are allowed S2 per day from each town in which municipal cleo tions are held. and the opinion of At torney General Kirby has been sought by J. F. Brady of Black Rock Law renee county, to settle the matter. In his answer Mir Kirby says: Election commissioners are only entitled to S2 per day each. for each day actually engaged in the duties of their office, and since the municipal elections are held upon the same day, they would not be entitled to more than S2 per day each merely because separate elee- tfons are held in each municipality. They do not have the right to charge each municipality with $2 per day for each days service performed in the holding Of the municipal elections, but they can only charge for the services for the whole number of days required to hold the election at B per day. This charge should be allowed and paid ratably by the cities and towns in which the elections are held. or it might be paid by first one municipality and then an other at succeeding elections. and then each municipality in it's turn would bear the burden Of the payment of the per diem of the election commissioners at their election Certain it is that when one municipality has paid the whole bill for their per diem for hold ing municipal elections, another can not be compelled by them to pay the bill for the same services. The mum ieipalities may fix their own method to divide and adjust the payment of their said peA. diem"

Fees of County Treasurers.

In reply to request for a construc- tion of the law regarding the fees which county treasurers are entitled to- asked by T. B. Cook, treasurer of Little River county, Attorney Gener- al Kirby gives it as his opinion that, Tn all cases where the amount re- ceived does not exceed $l,000 in any one year, per cent, on all sums over S1,000, not exceeding per cent, to be paid out of the respective funds" From the language of section S50S of Kirby's Digest it is evident that the legislature did not intend the different funds shod,,aa 5e taxed so much per cent, but that the amount of revenue collected should be tolled per cent on the first thousand and per cent on the remainder as treasurers fees, and the treasurer is not entitled to a commission of per cent on the first S1000 on the particular funds and 2 per cent on the remainder of them, but only to his different per cent up- on the whole amount of the revenue, and ? per cent on all but s1,000 and per cent upon that

F. o. Butt Pardoned.

Gov. Pindall's reasons for grating the par don are given in a communication to Mrs Butt in Nsich he tells her that he thinks her husbands disgrace has been sufficient, and that he is less guilty than others who have escaped and for him to remain longer in prison would not increase his disgrace, but would only add to the suffering of the family. There are three other indict ments against him which will be talk en to Perry county on change or venue. and which will come up i'll the August term of court.

To Populate Reform School.

Superintendent Chestnut Of the Re form School has sent out letter te the county judges Of the state ae- quainting them with the fact that the law hot only authorizes but re- quires them to send certain children to the Reform School, and 1t is expect cd that the population of the school viii soon be greatly increased. The law as passed by the recent legislature requires That the coUSty judges of the various counties in the state of Arkansas be. and they are hereby an- thorized and required, to have brought before them all children between the ages of , and 15 years, whom they know and who are reported to them to live in notorious resorts of bad char acter, or who frequent the company of lewd, wanton or lasciyious persons, or whose parents lie in or keep houses of ill-fame. or habitually frequent the same; and if such judge Is satisfied from the proof offered that such child is not being properly cared for, and that it's moral, mental or physical wei fare is being neglected to that extent that it will probably grow up in pau perism, lewdness and crime. the said judge shall take charge of such child and by proper order commit it to the Reform School, if there is vacancy from his county, or find 1t suitable home, as in his judgment will be to the best interest of the moral men, tai and physical welfare of such child "

COFFEE COMPLEXION.
Many Ladies Have Poor Compilations
 from Coffee.

Coffee caused dark colored blotches on my face and body. I had been drinking it for long while and these blotehes gradually appeared, until finally they became permanent and were about as dark as coffee itself.
 T formerly had as fine a complex. ion as one could ask for.
 When l became convinced that cof- fee was the cause of my trouble, I changed and took to using Postum Food Coffee, and as I made it well, &C., cording to directions, I liked it very much, and have since that time used 1t in place of coffee.
 T am thankful to say am not ner. vous any more, as I was when I was drinking coffee, and my complexion is now as fair and good as it was years ago. It is very plain that coffee caused the trouble"
 Most bad complexions are caused by some disturbance of the stomach and coffee is the greatest disturber of digestion known. Almost any woman can have fair complexion if she will leave off coffee and use Postum Food Coffee and nutritious. healthy food in proper quantity. Postum furnishes certain elements from the natural grains from the field that Nature uses to rebuild the nervous system and when that Is in good condition, one can depend upon good complexion as we'll as a good healthy body.

Want to Come to Arkansas.

A letter has been received at the agricultural department from Orlan Clyde Cullen of St. Paul, Minn., who represents a large colony of Russian Caucausians, wanting to purchase 5000 acres of land in Arkansas, and would visit the state on an inspection tour. The colonists desire well-watered prai- rie land, suitable for general farming and stock raising and are prepared to pay cash for it. In answering the letter Agricultural Commissioner Tuck CT said that there was a tract of land in Arkansas county that he thought would be suitable for the purposes of the colony He also stated that desir- able land could be had in other coun- ties, and that he would make the ne- cessary inquiries, so that he would be able to present him with a number of tracts from which to make a selection when he visited Arkansas The col onists are from the Russian Cauca- sus, and are honest, sober and indus trious, and are physically one of the best races in Europe. and would make desirable citizens. They will bring with them from Europe some of their horses and Angora goats and sheep.

BATHING IN THE DEAD SEA.
ey No Means Pleasure, According
 to One Traveller.

'No sooner has one plunged into the water than one is whipped off ones feet and goes bobbing helplessly about like wretched cork" says Rev Haskett Smith of bathing in the Dead sea. Tn the effort to regain ones footing and to get back to shore. ones feet and shins are parked by the jagged stones and pebbles. and when at length one does emerge from it's treacherous bosom, with the lower limbs bleeding and torn, one becomes aware of horrible tingling and burn ing sensation in eyes. ears, nostrils. mouth and almost every pore of the skin, from the brine and bitumen which have penetrated everywhere.
 Unless great care is taken the bather in the Dead sea Is liable to an eruption which breaks out all over his body, and which Is commonly known as the Dead sea rash The best antidote to this is to hurry across as quickly as possible to the river Jor- dan and take second plunge therein. The soft and muddy waters of that sacred but dirty stream will effeetual- ly remove the salt that has incrusted the body

WilI Eioht Texas Law.

San Antonio Tex, July.-Maurice E. Locke, general attorney for the Metro politan Life Insurance Company. speak ing officially, makes the rather surpris- ing and altogether unexpected state ment that that concern will remain in Texas and operate in defiance or the Robertson law, which has already ex- pelled E old-line companies that re- fused to comply with it's investment provisions. MT Locke says the Metro politan will continue to operate until indicted, and then carry the case to the court of last resort on pleading of unconstuitionality The Robertson law requires an investment in Texas securities of 75 per cent of the reinsur- ance reserve funds of all companies op- erating in Texas. It was passed by the last legislature and becomes CT fective July 12.

ENDURANCE INVESTMENTS.
How One company's Assets Are Dis trbuted in .he South and West.

In connection with it's withdrawal from Texas, aloIg with many other companies, rather than to submit to the new law which requires that 75To of the reserves on Texas policies shall be invested in securities of that state, which securities shall be deposited in the state and subjected to heavy taxa tion. in addition to the large tax now imposed on life insurance premiums, the Equitable Life Assurance Society has made public the distribution of it's assets. at the end of the second year of the new management. The Equit- able now has s10,95S. 900 invested in Texas, which is twice as much as the new law requires, but the manage ment decided that to submit to the additional taxation would be an injus- tice to it's policyholders in other states, which impose no such penalty on the thrift of their citizens.
 The Equitable's report shows that more than 37es of it's total reserves are now invested in the southern and western states. while only 35es of it's total insurance is carried in these states. US investments are distributed as follows: Ala, s3,099, ,000; Ariz. $974.000; Ark, s4.03S. .000: Cal. s5.- 142.o 900; Col. $5,222, ,00o; Fla. s4,924.- 900; Ga, $4.04s.000; Idaho, s5.197 900: IL. s12.617 900: Ind.

Many Japs Coming.

Washington, July.-For many months the Bureau of Immigration has had inspectors in Mexico watching the trend of Japanese immigration. Accord ing to reports received at the De partment of Commerce and Labor, 1t is perfectly evident that hundreds of Ja- panese laborers who arrive in Mex leo have TO intention of remaining in that country, but regard it merely as a stopping place en route to the Unit ed States. It is not believed by the immigration authorities that the Ja- panese government is a party to such an arrangement as this, as it has dis eouraged immigration to the United States in every way.

North Arkansas Apple Crop.

The apple crop of north Arkansas will this season bring the farmers of that section more money than ever be fore in the history of the industry, both because of the increased acreage and the handsome profit that will be realized Even now apples are sell ing in the orchards at s70 to s100 per acre, and $2.000.o00 is considered a conservative estimate of the value Of the apple and peach crop in Washing ton county alone This prosperous state of affairs is brought about by the scarcity of the product in the ter ritory, which is in immediate competi- ton with this part of the state.
