CAN YOU BEAT THESE BEETSl
Some Fine Samples of Polk County
 Garden Products.

A newspaper office is accustom- ed to all kinds of beets, especially those designated as having pass ed to the world beyond or below, probab ply, but are still with us. This has no connection however, with pair of true blood red beets left at the office of The Star Monday by the Rev. William Cooksey. They were grown in his garden and judging from the splendid size and quality were under perfect agricultural as well as moral influences. They weigh 1H aud 134 pounds respectively. Polk county is great place in which to live and grow garden products.

EVERYBODY WAS HONEST.
A Young Man Found It Hard to Give
 Away His Own Purse.

Sunday afternoon the passen- gers on No. were treated to an exhibition of pure, unadulterated honesty.
 A frank-appearing young man returning from the water tank, stopped in the aisle aud picked up plump looking purse, The seat on his right was occupied by very pretty girl and he seemed to take it for granted that the purse had been dropped for him to pick up, and prepared to seat himself beside her as he asked, "Doesn't this belong to you, miss?"
 'No sir, 1t does not" she am swered, in such tone that he lost no time in moving to the seat across the aisle and repea ting his query to the single occupant thereof.
 On being answered in the neg ative, he held the purse high above his head and asked the car in general to search itself and assist him in locating the owner.
 No answers.
 He attempted to pass the purse to the woman with whom he was seated, but she was honest also aud refused to accept 1t, but ac- vised him to look inside for the owners name.
 He cautiously pressed the suap and glanced inside.
 My God, ,' he cried, s'lts my own purse that I've been trying to give away

WESTERN UNION TO
 FIGHT TO THE LAST
Claims That It Has Paid Fees Under Previous Act Placing It on Same Footing As Domestic Cor
 porations.

Little Rock, June 16. The question as to whether the Vest ern Union Telegraph Company shall file its certificate of incor. poration with the secretary of state and pay its fees, based on a capitalization of Sl00, QUO, GOO, which would mean BPS, 060 for fees, remains to be decided by the federal courts.
 The Western Union claims that under the act of 1899, which re- quired the payment oi certain fee by foreign corporation to be allowed 10 do business in inc state, 1t paid all that is required. and that 1t IS not amend ble to the Wingo act. Il contends that only foreign companies that have not complicd with the act of 1899 are amend ble to the Wingo law. Ii holds that companies that full filled the requirements of the 1899 net are placed upon the same plane as domestic companies and have the same rights to do bnsi- ness Tn the state as those incor porated by the state. Any new law which imposes license for il to re-enter the state after 1t has done so, 1t contends, is invalid.
 The attorney general does not admit that the telegraph compa- ny occupies a position to make this claim. On tbe other hand. he holds that the Western Union has never complied with any of the laws of the state upon com pliauce with which depended its continuance of business in Arkan- sas.
 According to the decision of Judge Trieber, the secretary of state is barred from collecting the fee from the Western Union Con- pany under the Wingo act, and the seventeen prosecuting attor- neys iu the state are restrained from bring ing suits to enforce the collection of the fee. Judge Trieber has practically stated | that the attorney general is right i in his contention that the action of the Western Union is against the sta.e, and has given the com- pany 60 days in which to take an appeal to the United States Su- preme Court, and that if the ap- peal is not taken in that time and 1 a bond Of BPS, 900 is not made by 1 the plaintiff company, the case will be dismissed. So far this IS a victory for the state.
 The only fear by those who represent the state in the fight against the big telegraph compa- ny is that it may prove that it has complied with previous law which places it upon an equality | with every domestic corpora tion of the state, and that it is as much entitled to do business Tn Arkansas without paying the fees under the Wingo act as any corporation having its origin in the state.
