Saloon Keepers Will Acquiesce.

The ordinance requiring saloons to close every night at 12 o'clock, recent ly passed by the City Council and approved by Mayor Lemon, went into effect Tuesday. All the saloon keep CTS, so far as known, will acquiesce in the provisions of the ordinance. The fine being $25 for the first offence and $50 for every subsequent one, is thought to be severe enough to pre- vent any saloon man from attempt ing to violate the law. It is further believed that no saloon keeper will attempt to evade it, especially since the edict has gone forth from the mayors office to the Police Depart ment to enforce the ordinance to the very letter.

Pardons Granted.

Acting Governor Pindall has grant ed a pardon to James Traylor, con- victed in the White county circuit court on a charge of murder in the second degree, and sentenced to fif- teen years in the penitentiary, but whose sentence was afterward re- duced to five years. Traylor killed Sutton Thompson near Fl Paso, in White county, while the two were en- gagged in an altercation, and it was the opinion of the judge and prosecuting attorney that he should have been con- victed of manslaughter. Believing that the ends of justice had been sub- served in the case, Gov. Pindall grant ed the pardon. Pardons were also granted by the governor, to Tom Ren- fro of Sebastian county in whose fa- vor Congressman Ben $. Cravens had great deal of information and testimony; Sam Peoples, ne- gro, convicted in the Jefferson cir cult court on charge of murder in the second degree about a year ago; J. w. Langhorn, convicted in the Ben ton Circuit Court in September, 1906, on the charge of forgery, and Mason Atkinson, convicted recently in the Columbia Circuit Court on the charge of aggravated assault and fined $50.

Ardmore, Pa Determined that Henry Skinner Jr., aged 12,. should not peep when it came his turn to be "it" in a game of hide-and-seek, half- dozen youthful companions held him flat on his back and poured red pep per into his eyes. His screams fright ened the boys implicated in the affair and they fled, while Skinner was led home by a neighbor.
 The victim is son of Dr. Henry Skinner, and the youths accused of the cruel treatment are members of prominent Ardmore families. The po- lice took up the case, but proceedings will depend upon the result of the boys injuries. Under medical treat ment his eyes are being gradually re- stored to normal conditions and his eyesight may not be affected.

AUTO HAD REVENGE

 CAR THAT WRECKED IT.
Affair Closely Resembling a Duel to the Death Afforded Diversion to Crowd on San Francisco
 Street Recently.

 The event, which had every element of tragedy but at the same time was sreplete with delicate humor which converted it into a comedy, was in the nature of a gladiatorial struggle to the death between electricity and gas- oline. As an exhibition of mortal com bat it was an equal of the melodramat- ic thriller of 10 cent theater, for all concerned got it in the neck in tho end.

Its wheels absolutely refused to go around either in answer to the appeal of it's own engine or when urged by the strong arms of it's disgruntled passengers. Then the street car came up behind and stopped.

 The motorman was accommodating. He unslung the heavy connection bar used when a well car goes to the as- sistance of a sick one, and attaching one end to the front of the car, braced the other against the back of the auto mobile. Then he turned on all the juice.
 It was foul blow. The automobile was looking for steady shove and it got a slap. The bar flew in the air, the street car gave bound, there was one resounding crash and couple of yells, and the automobile was subject for the machinery morgue. It had refused to budge even with several hundred volts of Patrick Calhoun g soothing syrup behind it, and the heavy car made scrap heap of it.

Trust "Graft."

One of the practices of the trusts in the marketing of their products, is the prize schemes. In order to induce the consumers to use their various brands of goods, attractive offers are made to exchange different articles for certificates and coupons. But it is always intended that the consum- CTS pay the freight" Generally where premiums are offered with goods, the packages are short in weight, or few cents more charged than goods of like kind sell for. Thus it can be seen how the premiums given are paid for by the consumer, and he pays a high price for the prizes he draws. Goods that are given away with purchases cost money. Their cost does not come out of the pockets of the manufacturers, but out of the purses of the people who use the goods. If one desires to buy sugar, he does not care to pay for the scoop or shovel. He wants sugar. and at the lowest price con- sistent. He knows that if he takes the scoop or the shovel some one pays the bill. Various systems of premium giving have been devised. Some call for a certain number of coupons of some sort, and so much cash, or some article just for the coupons alone. Where cash is re- quired along with coupons there is apparently an additional profit in the deal aside from that made on the goods with which coupons are given. It is well to buy goods on their merits alone. Buy what you want and at the right price, and you will be ahead of the premium plan.

State Capital Notes
Walked 75 miles to Surrender.

Learning that he was wanted by the United States government for selling liquor without license and that warrant had been issued for his arrest, Thomas Stanley walked 70 miles to the office of the deputy mar shal who held the paper and vol untarily surrendered. Stanley's ac- tion has received wide comment and 1t goes on record as one of the most unique cases of self-imprisonment in this district. He was under indict- ment in the western judicial district of this state, but left the jurisdiction of the court before he was summoned for trial. Deputy United States Mar shal Freeman of Freeman, P. O., Pope county, was in Eglantine, Van Bruen county, recently and acquainted friend there with the information that he had a warrant for Stanley. The friend said that he knew the man and would communicate with him. This was done and Stanley who has been a resident off and on of Eglantine for more than a year, decided to give himself up. Freeman had returned to his home in the meantime and, therefore, he was dumfounded when Stanley walked into his house stating that he was wanted. He confessed that he had travelled the distance on foot Word was immediatly sent to Little Rock that the man was in custody and he was taken to Russell vile, from which place he was brought to Little Rock. Stanley was arraingned before Commissioner Allen for the eastern district and after a hearing was lodged in the county jail to await the issuance of an order by United States District Judge Trieber for removal to Fort Worth. lie is about 8 years old and shows no signs of his long jaunt. His conduct warrants the supposition that he did not know that he had been indicted.

To Investigate Water Conditions.

A resolution will probably be pres ented at a meeting of the Pulaski County Medical Society, to be held early next month, to ask the federal government to send an expert from the Marine Service to Little Rock to investigate water conditions with view to determining suitable source of supply. The committee which some time since inspected the plant of the Home Water Company, will, it is said, present a resolution favoring another source of supply. The source, however, could not be determined, it is thought, until after a thorough investigation, both as to the volume of water in some other stream and it's meteorological condi- tion.

 It seems that neither the national or state laws can be so closely ap- piled as to prevent this evil If the masses of people would study into this question the buying of foods from others than local dealers, who are known to be honest, would be the re- suit, and the daily reports of people being mysteriously poisoned by eating some article of food would not be so numerous.

F0R REALITIES SAKE l
SEE THAT YOUR FOODSTUFFS
 ARE PURE.
ADULTERATIONS ARE COMMON
UnscrupuIous Dealers in Large Cities the Medium for Disposing of Such Goods-Purchase
 at Home.

For years one of the matters which has received the careful attention of the department of agriculture is food adulteration. Who has not heard of the old libel on the state of Connecti- cut-the wooden nutmeg, but there are worse things than wooden nut megs. Unprincipled manufacturers and dealers for many years have re- sorted to adulteration of foodstuffs to increase profits. In the matter of spices, only short time since the food commission of one of the states discovered among 50 samples analysed more than 30 that were adulterated. In pepper, stems and barks were ground, in every class of ground spice foreign substances were added to give weight, and in numerous cases, particularly flavoring extracts, the ar ticles supposed to be made from pure fruits, were found to be synthetical, or entirely artificial, preparations from coal tar.
 These goods were prepared by con- cerns that have no regular trade, but depend upon agents to sell goods for them to whoever they can. It is rare- iy that reliable wholesale grocery house sells such goods, as retailers will not knowingly keep them in stock, as they cannot be legally sold, and some officer of the food depart ment of the state is likely to drop into the store at any time, confiscate the goods, and impose heavy fine on the dealer.
 A short time ago health officers in Philadelphia found number of Ital ians in cellar putting oil in bottles, and labelling the same with foreign looking label. An analysis of the oil proved it to be mainly poor quality of cotton-seed oil, and the lowest grade of olive. Hundreds of cases of the stuff were traced to a city in the middle west, where it was dis posed of under contract to houses who sell direct to consumers through agents and by mail. Not alone are spices, extracts, olive oil and sim liar foodstuffs adulterated this way, but the fraud extends still further Cheap kinds of fish, such as hake, cat fish, etc, are prepared and placed on the market as genuine codfish.
