State Capital Notes
oev.fcpnents in sank Failure.

Recent developments la the failure of the Arkansas Valley Bank af this citx on October IT. show that many of ihe drafts given hy Cashier E. E. Wilson to the depositors on The Aer- caut.e Trust Company of g. Louis have been returned here unpaid lt appears from a careful inquiry into the cause of the banks closing that the institution has securities on de posit in the Missouri Lincoln Trust Company Of St Louis, which were not taken over by the Mercantile Trust Company when the latter cor poration absorbed the Nssouri-Lin- eoln recently. This was the beginning Of the difficulties that resulted in the closing of the doors of the Arkansas Valley It is impossible al present 10 learn the financial status Of the iasti- tuition.

w. C. Faucette, mayor of Argenta, and Frank Cumnock, former mayor of Barring Cross, have been adjudged guilty of attempting a conspiracy to bribe the Perry county jury that last August found Senator A. T. Gross guilty of soliciting bribe in connec- ton with the pure food bill before the legislature of 1905, The trial which has occupied the attention of the public for the past week. went to the jury Saturday afternoon, and after three hours. they arrived at 6 verdict of guilty, leaving the sen tenee to be fixed by the court.
 Eminent counsel had been em- ployed by the defense, United Stnates Senator James P. Clark and Col George W. Murphy. representing them, while Prosecuting Attorney Lewis Rhoton conducted the case for the State. Every inch of ground was con. tested and many sensational incidents introduced in one of the hardest fought trials in the criminal court annals Of Arkansas.
 The verdict created general surprise among those who had followed the proceedings from day to day. as many believed the jury would hang.
 IL is expected that motion for new trial will be made.

lmnortant Decisions.

The session Of the Supreme Court Monday was a most important one
 The decision of the court declaring the Russellvilie Waterworks bill un. constitutional was perhaps the most important and far-reaehing opinion handed down b. the Supreme Court for years It means that improvement work being done at Pine Bluff, Helena, DeQueen and Brinkley, as well as at Russellyille. shall be stopped. until these districts are reorganized. under the general statutes governing such cases. IL 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 q of Article 19. which provides that no improvements shall be made unless under and with the consent of 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- Y Chancery Court The affirmation of the decision of the Izard 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 commits sion without shadow of doubt. to require and compel railroads to per
 form what is considered to be a req sonable service 10 the public The de- eision of the court. affirming the de eision of the Independence County Cir
 cult Court in the case of Browning vs. The State, was no surprise 10 those who have kept in touch with the facts. Browning shot and killed T. W. Mid kiff, agent for the railroads at Wal nut Ridge. it being alleged that he became exasperated at Midkiff for his failure to receive a reply to a message sent earlier in the day. Browning will have to serve his term in prison.

Hospitai Storytelling.

It is curious that philanthropists ,n search of a novel means of doing good do not engage reciters and story teliers to visit hospitals and amuse the patients.
