 II don't know what is the present condition of Governor Little. 1 have been trying to fud out, and have each time been met with a statement that his condition was Satisfactory, that his Improvement was all that could be asked Of course, such statements were very unsatisfy- ing.

Brakes They Add Useless Expense. Fort Smith Times.
 Things in Arkansas are com ing to pretty pass" said we'll known railroad man in Fort Smith. He was speaking in reference to the recent bill passed hy the legislature providing that three orakemen be carried on trains,
 ''To think" he continued "they should try to run a road by law. Why don't they make them put all this extra money in the track. There's where the trouble lies. The track is the seat of maiori- ty of the troubles of the roads iu this section of the country.
 "Three men are not needed on the ordinary freight trains. They run, up North, with eighty and ninety cars with only two. What good will they do :? Are they an additional safeguard ?"

HAMPER AGAIN
 CREATES A STIR
Talks of Expelling Members if Disturb auces Continue To Fight 2-Cent Rate Law Bill to Repeal
 Ross Insurance Measure.

Lntle K ok, May 2.-Speak kel uam,ter created sensation ir ,he house today by announcing that there is talk of expelling certain mem mbers who persist ir disturbing the proceedings.
 "Some would regret that, but shall be compelled to suppress i, Yesterday afternoons dis ,urbance, brought about by cer- tain members insisting that bills reoorted as having been read twice had not been so read, is a shame to the state, and we will not put up with it," was his statement.
 He ordered all bills which bave bean endorsed as read twice when they have been read but once. to he returned to their authors.
 The question of the validity of many bills IS raised by Judge Van Hook, of Union county, claiming they have been read but once, though endorsed by the cIerk as read twice.
 A we'll defined rumor says the railroads will contest the Ross 2 cent rate law on the ground that Governor Little signed the bill at Green wood and not at the seat of government.
 The Ross act compels foreign corporations to pay regular fees to the state to do business, and, in addition, to maintain offices and officers here. A hard fight was made on the measure, but its friends won, and the senate will vote on the same on Monday.
 Discussing the bill, Secretary State Ludwig said today foreign corporations cannot live under the Ross bill, it being impossible 10 maintain executive offices in this state.
 The house passed the blind school and university appropri- atiou bills today by unanimous vote. For the first time iu the history of tue state there was no opposition on final ballot.
