"OIa Soldiers Act"

The Supreme Court will be called upon to decide in the case of the town of Stamps against w. P. Burke, which is test case in what is known as the "Old Soldiers Act" approved in 1889, and which provides that it shall be lawful for any indigent or disabled eX- Confederate or United States soldier CT sailor to engage in hawking or ped ding without paying either state, county, city or town license or tax for the privilege of so doing. The test case in question is that of w. P. Burk, m ex-Confederate soldier, who about a year ago was arrested at Stamps, Lafayette county on a charge of ped ding without paying the town license. He was arraigned in a justice court and was convicted and fined $50. The case was appealed to the Lafayette Circuit Court, which reversed the Judg- ment of the justice court. The town of Stamps appealed the case to the Su- preme Court. claiming that the law is unconstitutional, On the ground that the act comes under the head of class lerislation. Although the law has been os the statute books for number c$ years, this is the first and only case that has come up for trail since its passage.

State Capital Notes

Little Rock.-The total amount of fees paid into the state treasury by foreign corporations since the Wingo act became a law, is $22,S62. Several of the larger corporations, including the railroads and telegraph c0mpan- ies. have so far failed to file their certificates of incorporation, and some of the insurance companies are still without authority to do business in the state. In order that all foreign cor porations which have failed to comply With the law may have time to do so, fifteen days further time will be given them. The governor will issue a sec ond proclamation to that effect the first extension of fifteen days time having expired on June 3. This is made necessary because the officers of Q number of corporations failed to un- derstand the requirements of the law and the papers they sent to the sec retary of state were improperly pre- pared and had to be returned for cor rection. According to statement made by Corporation Clerk B. L. Me Haney, there are at present from 800 to coo foreign corporations that have not complied with the Wingo act.

New Railroad Laws.

Quite number of new laws affect ing the railroads, were placed upon the statute books of the state of Arkan- sas by the General Assembly of 190?. a great many of which were of local interest, consisting in the main as they do of requiring fast mail trains to stop at various stations, providing extra train service on certain road build ing new depots, etc. There were however, a number of laws of general interest to the public and which have as yet, been given little or no publicity. Among the number is a law which makes it a misdemean- CT for any railroad to obstruct cross ing or public highway more than ten minutes, or failing to entirely clear the crossing or highway within ten min utes, to leave an open space sixty feet wide for traffic. In case of violation a fine of from $5 to $25 may be assess ed. A law which requires all railroads | to drain railroad beds when railroads pass within 200 yards of a farmhouse or residence. A law to the effect that it is unlawful for any railroad or com mon carrier of any kind to change law | ful duties and liabilities of the carrier with shippers, whether or not by agree ment A law surpressing all drum ming and soliciting for hotels, etc., on trains. This law resulted from the many Hot Springs drummers that were on all trains going into Hot Springs. A law which provides that all rail- roads, where two roads connect at a | junction, shall maintain a depot and a train cryer who shall annuonce, by calling in the depot, the various trains and tracks upon which said trains will depart. The law also provides that the caller shall call the trains in plenty of time for all passengers waiting in the depot to get on the proper train. l According to this law a station will l have to be located at every junction of two lines, no matter whether there is town there or not, and that a train eryer must be maintained at that station. A law which makes the rail roads liable for all destruction by fire to real or personal estate caused by | trains or railroads.

 MT. s. was picking potato bugs off from his plants, but he managed to stop long enough to answer, Yes"
 Some nice looking young ladies among them,' continued the young man.
