CANNOT COLLECT
 RENTALS IN FULL
Southwestern Telegraph Company of Fort Smith Must Improve Ser- by November 1 or Collect
 No Rentals.

Fort Smith, Oct, 12.-Chancellor Bourland yesterday rendered his opinion in the case of Jo Johnson ct al vs. Southwestern Telephone Company, granting an injunction against the company from collecting full rates of telephone rentals un- less the service now being rendered is improved at once.
 The company must show by Mo- vember l that the service is improv- ed, or subscribers may refuse to pay any rental. The company will be held in contempt of court in case the service is not improved.
 On question of whether or not the company has a franchise in Fort Smith, the court holds that recog- nltion by the City Council in re- ground and accepting the use of free phones, gave the company a right to the use of the streets, and that the company is not trespass- CT
 The franchise expired in 1895, but is not held void. The court en- phatically declared that the com pany had promised to give reason able service, and was able to do so, but that for the past three months it had been very poor.
 An appeal from the decision will probably be taken. The trial of the case lasted three days and a score of witnesses will be introduced.

She was critically ill for several days, following a severe illness of several weeks, and notwith- standing the fact that everything was done for her, she lapsed into uncon- sciousness at Il o'clock Friday morn ing and all hopes for her recovery vanished. She seemed to realize that her end was near few hours before and made all preparations for the final summons. Her farewell words were most pathetic and her devoted relatives are almost prostrated with grief.
 Mrs. Philpot was one of the most popular of Pine Bluffs matrons. She possessed a sweet and amiable dispo- sition, the kind that endeared her to all with whom she came in contact. She was kind hearted and was devoted to her church and charitable work. Her death removes most lovab1e character from our city and her loss, will be keenly felt not only by her dear ones, but by all who knew her and admired her The relatives have the heartfelt sympathy of the com munity in their bereavement.

THE SEED OF CHEAT, MEADOW
RESCUE AND BRONZE GRASS
They Be In F
Nebraska Station.

The experience of tie farmers with
adulterated alfalfa seed during the
past few years is alone sufficient TO
warrant extreme care in the examina-
ton of the seed OF our forage crops.
but during the past year another flag
rant case OF seed adulteration and
substitution has come to light. A
large number of specimens OF seed
supposed TO be either meadow fescue
or smooth bronze grass have been
sent 70 the Experiment Station for
examination. A very considerable
number of these samples proved to be
either cheat or chess alone or con-
tanned large per, cent of cheat seed.
The extent to which this adulteration
and substitution has been practiced
calls for note of warning to pros
pective buyers.
That this seed fraud is causing
considerable amount OF loss to farm
ers may be inferred from the follow

ing data taken from department cor
respondence:
Two farmers at Rising City shipped
$4,000 pounds of cheat seed to Kansas
City under the impression that they
had raised meadow fescue or English
blue grass.
A farmer at Fairbury bought 10000
pounds of cheat under the impression
that he was buying meadow fescue
= A farmer at Nelson bought 1000
pounds of cheat seed under the name
Of English blue grass.

which the amount of seed involved

was somewhat smaller In some of
these cheat has been substituted for
our valuable Bromus inermis.
In order that buyers may be able
to recognize the three different grass
seeds mentioned. the following nom
technical descriptions are given:
l. Chess or Cheat. The seed of
chess or cheat (Bromus secaIinus) is
a dirty straw color, very thick and
rounded on the back with a deem
groove on the opposite side. Gig. IL
The seed ranges from l. to SIG inches
in length and is often provided with
a short avn, which is generally bent
backwards. The avn may be entire
sly broken on. or, in the perfect seed.
1t may equal the body of the seed in
length. The grass may also be re-
cognized in the field by the character
istic appearance of the spiklets.
Gig. 2.)
2. Hungarian or Smooth Bronze
Grass. The seed of bronze grass is
darker in color than cheat. much
larger, three-eighths to one-haif inch
in length, rather iattened, and shows
three fairly prominent nerves on the
upper side. The. apex sometimes has
the remains of very short avn. but
is generally somewhat frayed out and
transparent. (FIgs.,..i and .2.):. The

!. Chess or cheat is an annual
grass that readily reseedS itself, but it
is to be regarded as weed rather
than a valuable forage grass. Some
claims have been made that it pro-
duces valuable permanent pasture,
but no satisfactory evidence is at
hand to confirm the statement Back

name of meadow fescue or English
blue grass. 1t may also be of inter
est to know what value is attributed
TO chess in two of our neighboring
states. In Bulleton 46 of the Wyo-
ming station the statement is made
that chess, on account of it's vigorous
growth and ability to withstand ad-
verse conditions, is used as a hay
grass in some localities, but its repu-
tation as weed is emphasized, as well
as the fact that it is an annual In
Iowa it is classed as a "well-known
weedy annual grass" but with some
redeeming features as forage plant"

The grass is spoken of favorably for
the southern states, and is grown for
hay on the Pacific coast in Oregon
and Washington
s. Bronze grass has proved an es-
pecially valuable pasture grass for
the great plains region from Kansas
northward, and is deserving of more
extensive cultivation 1t is probably
the best cultivated grass for the
drier sections of the state and it is to
be regretted that unreliable or ignor-
ant parties are placing it's worthless
relative, chess or cheat, on the mar
ket under the name of such a valua-
BILE species, Some of the failures of
bronze grass may be explained by this
practice.
3. Meadow fescue, or English blue
grass. is more drought resistant than
timothy but less so than bronze grass
1t has proved to be a valuable pasture
grass, especially in the eastern half
of the state, but it is not suited to the
more arid portions. More cheat seed
has been substituted for this valuable
species than for the true bronze grass.

THE QUESTION IS
A VITAL ONE
CONTROL AND REGULATION OF.
RAILROADS ARE MORE IMPOR-
TANT THAN MAKING or RATES

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Nov. Tn
his message to the special session Of
the legislature today, Gov b. b. Co
mer insisted that the control and reg
ulation of the railroads by the state IS
a question more important than the
making of rates or any other matter
in that it involves the question OF
right of the state to control its inter-
nal affairs
The message goes on to say that
President Smith, Of the Louisville &
Nashville railroad has held out
against the Alabama laws while 9TH
ers have put them into effect; has de-
fed the state and its people by con-
Quoting a lobby at the capitol, and OPP
emily admitted that his company has
influenced legislation in the past; has
called the governors of Alabama and
Georgia populstic; has raised rates
over night in defiance Of the state
laws, and has generally refused to
recognize the right of the state to
make laws applying to transportation
companies
That the Alabama rate laws are not
confscatory is evidenced, the governor
says, by the fact that they prevail IN
other nearby states and provide pro-
fit. Financial troubles he says, have
not grown out of the laws made to
control corporations, but are due to
the rascality of the high financiers,
and the producer of the cotton of the
South is now coming to save the coun-
try from panic. The Louisville IL
Nashville railroad is charged with
manipulating to prevent use of water
ways, making rules for handling coal,
demurrage and freight rates that are
arbitrary, and seeking genrally to con-
troll the state to the detriment of the
people
