EATING SELF TO DEATH,

LISBON, Portugal, Sept, a5.--King
Carlos of Portugal. the fattest and jol'
liest monarch in Europe, who has laugh
ed at threats OF bombs and continued to
gorge himself when war threatened to
invade his domains. has been halted by
his doctors to prevent him from eating
himself to death, That the king was in
a fair way to do this the sage medical
men are sure, as they sit in council each
day while their monarch is fatally stut'
fling himself.
King Carlos lately has been even out
doing his famous predecessor. King
Charles v OF the sixteenth century.
whose appetite no cook in the royal
kitchen could satisfy.
Fatty degeneration OF the royal heart
is what the physicians of King Carlos
fear and to prevent this they keep his
royal highness on strict diet. Not only
have they defed the quality OF the food
the spendthift king shall eat, but they
have also specified the exact quantity
and the time he shall spend at each
meal.
They have told him that they must
be obeyed or he win die. He Is trying
hard to obey them. but he is hungry
now, always hungry, and he suffers tor
tue from the edict which takes away
from him the delicacies in which he
found his chief enjoyment.

Want Commercial Compress.

Plans for the bringing of the Trans Mississippi Commercial Congress to Little Rock in 1908 have been discussed by the members of the Board of Trade and all of the 20 delegates who will represent Arkansas at the congress to open at Muskogee, November 19, will work throughout the session to accomplish this. Little Rock is amply able to care for the delegates to such a convention, and the united efforts of all the delegates appointed from this state will be made to bring them here next year Last year in Wash ington the congress for 1907 was ten dered to the Little Rock delegation but they did not believe the town could entertain the congress properly, so declined the honor. The city is now in shape to entertain a conven- tion of this magnitude and wants an opportunity to do so.

THEY WON'T SHUT DOORS.
And They Will Ride Backward, Re.
 ports q Traveller of Englishmen.

Travellers returning from England tell of two habits of the people of that country which impressed them. One is the average Englishman's aversion to shutting the door behind him.
 "I don't know how it is in the Eng fish houses" remarked one who re- turned recently from abroad, for l was not in one of them, but l stayed in hotel in London where there were good many English people, and dozen times daily had to get up and shut a door to keep the draught away.
 Tt didn't make any difference whether it was a servant or a guest who went through, the door was left open. This was in the spring of the year, too, when the weather was chil- ly. I noticed the same thing in rail- way coaches and hotels of smaller towns
 The other English peculiarity is a preference for riding backward on trains. The Englishman will make for the seat with it's back to the engine every time, plant himself down in it with every evidence of comfort and look wonderingly at anybody who picks out seat facing the direction the train is going. Not once did one native choose a seat facing the front of the train unless there were no other seats.

Martineau, who was ap- pointed chancellor of the Pulaski dis trict to succeed Judge Jesse M. Hart, who was appointed associate justice of the Supreme Court to succeed the late Justice E. Riddicll, assumed the duties of his position Monday, It was not known whether MT Berry took the oath of office at his home, which he could do, or whether he decided to wait until he arrived in Little Rock be- fore qualifying for the position. Since his salary begins from the time he is sworn in it is presumed that he had already had the oath administered to him before coming to this city. Mai F. B.

The Iron Mountain officials were notified that the state would not tolerate any un- necessary delay in their transportation from this city to the convict railroad station. The car containing the three gins was billed from Dallas October ,, and did not leave the Texas Pacific yards until October 19. The balance of the delay occurred while the car was in transit from Dallas and while sidetracked in the yards at TeXarkana.

Water Supply Being Considered.

The water question is still one of great importance to the capital city and various plans have been suggested to pipe the city's water from White river and the feasibility of this is be ing investigated. Others hold that there are in the vicinity of Little Rock abundant sources of water supply which can be drawn upon merely by sinking wells. It has been pointed out that the city of Indianapolis, as well as other municipalities much larger than Little Rock, gets it's water from wells, and that the wellknown re- sources of Arkansas in the way of water veins should make the problem a comparatively simple one.

EverythInq Bad.

A prominent planter recently had occasion to visit some of his holdings in southern Arkansas. The land was situated several miles from a railroad. and it was necessary to finish the journey in a buggy. So he took a friend with him and started out.
 After traversing several miles of sparsely settled country, they came upon a farmer blowing corn on the side of hill. The planter, wishing to appear civil to his neighbors, stopped his horse and yelled at the man, who came to the fence, hopping his face with red bandana.
 Good morning."
 "Mornin', mister!'
 "You live here, 1 suppose"
 "Yep."
 Flows crops?"
 Fair to middlin'."
 That's bad hill you're blowing"
 'T know it. Bad hoss. pullin' tn blow, bad blow, bad everything"
 "Why, you talk like you were the poorest man in Arkansas,' laughed the planter.
 q ain't, though" was the response. as the young fellow smiled good naturedly Another feller owns half O this crop"

Will File Appeal At Once.

Attorney General w. F. Kirby has announced that he will waste no time in filing his appeal in the state capitol case, in which the Pulaski Circuit Court overruled his demurrer to the petition for a writ of mandamus by w. B. Alexander, state capitol commits sioner. to compel the state auditor to honor his warrant on the state capi- tol fund. At the recent meeting of the Capitol Commission, bills amount ing to about $l5,000 were allowed paid, but none of the vouchers has been presented to the auditor. each claimant knowing that they would not be honored. There is in the state treasury to the credit of the state cap itol fund about $206.0O It is esti- mated that the tax of one-half mill levied for the state capitol will bring in next year about $150,000, which is acknowledged to be a conservative estimate, as the increase in assess ments in the state this year will amount to about 10 per cent, making the total assessed value of property in Arkansas about $500, ,000 900. Should the Supreme Court uphold the decision of the Pulaski Circuit Court in overrul- ing the Kirby demurrer there will be available next year for the compile tion of the state capitol about $356,00O.

Important Decisions.

The session of the Supreme Court Monday was a most important one. The decision of the court declaring the Russellville Waterworks bill un- constitutional was perhaps the most important and farreachng opinion handed down by the Supreme Court for years. It means that improvement work being done at Pine Bluff, Helena, DeQueen and Brinkley, as well as at Russellville, shall be stopped, until these districts are rcOrganized, under the general statutes governing such cases. It applies only in cases of cities and towns, and does not affect any improvements under way in this city. The constitutional provision under which the court held the law invalid was Section 27 of Article 19, which provides that no improvements shall be made unless under and with the consent of a majority in value of the property holders to be affected. Judge John Fletcher was counsel for Craig, who brought the suit to the Supreme Court. on appeal from the Poke COun- " 1UdHcPES 1OuIl. lie dull IldllOh of the decision of the lzard Circuit Court, in the case of the Iron Noun tain vs. The State, is a sweeping vic tory for the railroad commission, and establishes the power of the commis- sion without a shadow of d doubt, to require and compel railroads to per form what is considered to be req sonable service to the public.
