Lieutenant United States Engineer corps.
 The wedding was generally recog nized at the capital as being the sec ond in social and official importance that has taken place during the Roose- welt administration, there being only less interest in the marriage than in that which centered about the mar riage of Miss Roosevelt to MT. Long worth.

Consider Question of Hospital.

The proposed erection of a hospital in Little Rock by the Methodists of Arkansas will be the principal ques- ton to be considered by the Little Rock Conference which meets at Nal yern November 27 and the White River Conference, which will meet December F at Corning. indications are that the conferences will report fayorably upon the proposition to erect Methodist hospital in Little Rock with funds secured from Arkansas Methodists exclusively. At the last State Conference a plan for a hospi- tai to be erected by seven Southern States was submitted This was reject ed and a committee was appointed to take up the matter of building a hos pital for Arkansas alone. If the Lit tie Rock and White River conferences report favorably to the plan the pro- ject will be pushed rapidly.

He entered Columbia college in New York on his return to the United States and was graduated in 1898, when he at once joined his father in Porto Rico. where he had his first experience in warfare. At the end of a year he entered West Point, graduating sixth in his class of 1902.

State Capital Notes
Complain of Service.

Several complaints have been regis. tered with the Arkansas Railroad Commission recently relating to the poor services furnished by the rail- roads operating in Arkansas. In some of these instances the assertion is made that the railroads do not as- sign enough coaches to a train to ade uuately care for their passenger tranic. Then the frequent failure of the roads to operate trains on time is long, standing grievance. The service be- tween Little Rock and Memphis has been so bad that the commission took the matter up with the railroad officials last week. After an informal discussion with Superintendent Easely of the Arkansas division of the Choc- taw the desired reform was made and another coach added to the train. The commission will take up the other complaints in order and will dispose of them. The travelling public is looking forward with much interest 10 the meeting of the commission on December 1, when the question or re- quiring trains to run on schedule time will come up. If the eommis- sion so orders, it is thought that the railroads will from necessity lengthen their schedules. In many cases 1t Is an impossibility to make the time an nouneed in the schedules. No rail- road will willingly publicly admit that it's trains can not make as good times as the trains of competing lines, and most of the short schedules have grown from this fact.

PindaII Returns From Farm.

Acting Governor x. o. Pindall re- turned Thursday from his visit to the state convict farm in Lincoln county. He reported everything in good shape and that the ginning of the crop had been resumed. A few days ago the press in the ginnery broke down and it was necessary to send it to Pine Bluff for an expert to make the neces. sary repairs. These repairs were made and the ginning of cotton was resumed on Monday. There are from 600 to 700 bales of cotton picked and about 125 that have been ginned.

When a person has to keep the feet
out from under cover during the cold

heat and prickly sensation, it is time

There is no end to the nervous con-
ditions that coffee will produce. It
shows in one way in one person and in
another way in another. In this case
the lady lived in S. Oak. She says:
Il have had to lie awake half the
night with my feet and limbs out of
the bed on the coldest nights. and felt
afraid to sleep for fear of catching
cold. l had been troubled fer years
with twitching and jerking of the

One day, the story runs, a case In

but sent letter to the Judge. That
worthy gentleman read 1t, and then
postponed the case with the announce

CHILDREN TORTURED.
Girl Had Running Sores from Eczema
Boy Tortured by Poison Oak
Both Cured by Cuticura.

Last year, after having my little
girl treated by very prominent ply
sician for an obstinate case of eczema,
l resorted to the Cuticura Remedies,
and was so well pleased with the al
most instantaneous relief afforded that
we discarded the physicians prescrip-
tion and relied entirely on the Cuti-
cura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Gu
ticura Pills. When we commenced
with the Cuticura Remedies her feet
and limbs were covered with running
sores. In about six weeks we had her
completely well, and there has been
no recurrence of the trouble.
'In July of this year little boy in
our family poisoned his hands and
arms with poison oak, and in twenty
four hours his hands and arms were a
mass of torturing sores. We used
only the Cuticura Remedies, and In
about three weeks his hands and arms
healed up. Mrs. Lizzie Vincent Thomas.

A USEFUL NEW METAL.
Makes the Production Of Hydrogen an
Easy Matter.

Chemical substances known hither-
to only as scientific curiosities are dai-
ly being put to uses sufficiently valua-
BILE to warrant their preparation in
commercial quantities. In this sense
the metal calcium is new" for al
though long registered among the
elements, its uses in the arts have
only recently been discovered. A re-
cent article by j. Escard In L'Eclai-
rage Electrique says:
This curious metal, light, combus-
tible, silver-colered, and forming ordi-
nary lime by oxidation, is now obtained
by divers chemical processes, common
ly electrolysis of its melted salts.
Moissan, on the one hand, and Mes
srs. Gin and Leleux on the other, have
also prepared metallic calcium from
the CALCIUM carbid that is used to
make acetylene gas. The high tenn.
perature of the electric furnace, which
is utilized to make the carbid by syn
thesis, may also dissociate this COM
the crucible, while the calcium distils
on ana Is condensed.
Calcium, either pure or in combina.
ton. is certainly destined to brilliant
future. More tractable than sodium
and less violent in its reactions, it
would appear to be specifically adapt
ed to applications in metallurgy that
require the use of reducing substances
to purify molten metals at the moment
of casting.
AS found in commerce, this metal
is sold in the form of small bars con-
sisting of 9S per cent. pure calcium.
Its mean density is LIZ; that is it is
almost twice as light as aluminium. II
alters slowly in dry air, but very rap
idly in moisture. 1t burns with a very
bright white flame. Its hardness is
greater than that of sodium, lead. or
tin, and is comparable to that of alu-
minum, though slightly less than that
of zinc or magnesium.
Calcium hybrid was shown to the
academy last year by George Jau.
bert, under the name OF hydrolith (hy-
drogen-stone). -. Under the ac.
ton of water at ordinary tempera-
tures. the hybrid decompcses like cal
cium carbid, giving of, not acetylene,
but hydrogen.
ITO make the new product indus.
trially, metallic calcium is heated in
horizontal retorts, kept at high TEN.
perature, in which a current of case.
Gus hydrogen circulates; after some
hours all the calcium Is changed into
hybrid. The hydrolith then appears
as irregular, porous. white or gray
fragments. of considerable hardness
