Pass Employers Liability Bill.

Washington.-Wit only one voto recorded against it, that of MT. Lit tlefield of Maine, the House of Rep resentatives Monday, under suspen- sion of the rules, passed the Sterling employers liability bill, after 40 min utes' debate. In brief the bill estab- fishes the doctrine that the railroad companies engaged in interstate com- merce are liable for personal injuries received by employees in the service of such carriers It abolishes the strict common law rule of liability which bars a recovery for the personal inju- ry or death of an employe, occasioned by the negligence of a fellow serv- ant. It also relaXes the common law rule which makes contributory negll- gence a defense to claim for such in juries A provision, however, d1mln- ishes the amount of the recovery i'll the same degree that the negligence of the injured one contributed to the injury The bill further makes each party responsible for his own negll- gence and requires each to bear the burden therof.

State Encampment Lies With
 ConQreSS

If bill now pending before Con- gress providing for a liberal appropria- tion of money for state militia annual encampments passes, the Arkansas Ma tional Guard will hold its annual en- campment the coming summer at Leon Springs, Tex. Otherwise it is very probable that the encampment will be held at Fort Riley, Kan, where the guard has been encamped once before.
 Adjutant General Paul Little of the Arkansas National Guard explained that he was awaiting the outcome of the present appropriation bill now be- fore the Congress. If the bill passes, the various state militias will be pro vided with funds to hold encamp- ments, and such an approprlatlon would mean enough money for the Ar kansas Guard to allow it to go to Leon Springs. Otherwise the encampment will probably have to be held at Fort Rile as the expense in going there would be much less.

State Capital Notes

Spent Only Eight Hours In Prison. Pardoned from the state penitentiary | within eight hours after he was placed | in the institution is the record made Tuesday by B. F. Chapman of Craig head county, who was brought to Lit 1 tie Rock Tuesday morning and placed in the penitentiary to serve term or one year, and who was pardoned Tues day afternoon by Governor Pindall. Chapman did but 10 minutes con- vict labor. He was given suit, had his hair cut and was sent to the rock crusher across the river, and had been there but 10 minutes by the watch when the news came that the governor had pardoned him.
 Chapman was convicted by the
 Craighead County Circuit Court Of forgery. The petition for his pardon
 was signed by Circuit Judge Frank Smith of Craighead county. and the governor paid Smith a high Sompll-
 ment in granting the pardon In the following endorsement of the petition:
 Observing that this petition has the endorsement of Frank Smith, circuit judge, who tried the case, I am con-
 vinced that pardon should be issued.
 This circuit judge does not make this
 kind of request in an unwarranted
 case"
 Sheriff John T. Logan brought
 Chapman to Little Rock. Together with
 Maj. William Stoddard, deputy state
 agricultural commissioner, he appeared
 before Governor Pindall with the pe-
 tition for Chapman's pardon imme-
 diately after Chapman had been placed
 in the penitentiary, with he result that the governor promptly granted the
 pardon

HIS WHEAT WENT 22
 BUSHELS TO THE ACRE.
HE REALIZED SIS PER ACRE FROM IT, WHILE OATS GAVE HIM
 $17 AN ACRE.

Moose Jaw, Sask., Nov. 18th, 1907.
 Writing from Moose Jaw, Saskatche' wan, MT. s. K. Rathwall says:
 T have much pleasure in saying that on my farm this year l had 800 acres in wheat, and 120 acres in oats. My wheat averaged about 22 bushels per acre, and l had 200 acres cut be- fore the frost, which 1 sold at S5 cents per bushel, thus realizing on that wheat $500 per acre, not count Ing cost of twine, seed and labor. With regard to the other 300 acres of wheat, 1t got touched with frost but is worth 50 cents per bushel. It will net me $13.00 per acre, but 1 do not intend to sell it at that price, as I can make more money by feeding it to hogs.
 My oats turned out about 50bushels to the acre, and at 35 cents per bushel will give me $17.00 to the acre, not counting seed, twine and labor.
 "On account of the late spring, a percentage of the grain was touched with frost, but on account of good prices, farmers will realize fair profit on their farms even this year. We are as usual up against a short age of cars to get our grain removed"

T6e
 General Dem and

of the We'll Informed of the World has always been for a simple, pleasant and efficient liquid laxative remedy of known value; laxative which physicians could sanction for family use because it's con- pocent parts are known to them to be wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, acceptable to the system and gentle, yet prompt, in action.
 In supplying that demand with it's ex. cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, the California Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies on the merits of the laxative for it's remark able success.
 That is one of many reasons why Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given the preference by the Well-lnformed. To get it's beneficial effects always buy the genuine-manufactur by the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Co.,, only, and for sale by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents per bottle.

SLAYS YOUNG GIRL AND SELF
s. L. Gardner, Aged 59, Married, Mad With Jealousy, Shoots 16-Year-Old
 Dorothy Yost.

Pittsburg, Pa.-Samuel l.. Gardner, prominent resident of McKees Rocks, suburb of this city, shot and in- stantly killed Dorothy Yost, 16 years old, in the presence of her mother Monday and then running to his own home next door, shot himself through the mouth, dying shortly afterward. Gardner has wife and several grown children. The prominence of both families and the youth of Miss Yost served to make the shooting sensa- tional.
 It is alleged that Gardner has been infatuated with the young girl for a long time. He became extremely en- ragged Sunday night when Miss Yost went to church, accompanied by a man companion. Gardner left his home Monday morning shortly before g o'clock and went to a nearby hard ware store, where he purchased re- volver, stating to the clerk that he wished to fix some burglars"
 He went directly to the Yost home, where Dorothy and her mother were engaged in household duties. Walking straight to the young girl, he pressed the revolver to her breast and fired one shot. She fell dead, shot through the heart Mrs. Yost attempted to seize Gardner, but, lodging her, hs ran to his own residence, near the door, and fired bullet into his mouth. His wife and children were attracted by the shot and summoned physi- elan

THE PART HE PREFERRED.
Subtle Meaning in Poets Criticism of
 DecolIete Costume.

Joaquin Miller, the poet of the Sier- ras, is something of a recluse and rarely comes into San Francisco, but when he does he is made a good deal of lion. On his last visit he was one of the guests at rather formal dinner at friends house where he stayed overnight. His hostess had known the poet since her childhood, so she felt priviliged, next morning, to discourse to him of the beauties of the Parisian gown she had worn the night before-beauties which seemed to have escaped his observation.
 MT. Miller listened to all that she had to say and remained silent.
 But didn't you really like the dress?" pleaded the lady.
 Well" replied the poet, "I did like part of 1t well enough"
 The lady frightened.
 '1ndeed?" she said What part?"
 ''The part you had on," answered the poet; and that ended the discus sion.-Lippincott's

Making Mops.

The pupils of the Arkansas Blind School have now taken up a new stu dy and industry combined in the shape of mop manufacturing. Cotton rope mops are made by the students and sold to the other state institutions.
 Prof. Lucas, superintendent of the blind school, stated Saturday night that the boys of the institution take great interest in their new work. The same machine that is used in the manufac- ture of brooms at the school is also used in the manufacture of the 1hops so that the school does not have to go to any additional expense in the new work in the way of purchasing equip ment.
 The material for the mops is bought in Chicago. Many of the students have already proven to be adopts at the work, one boy student turning out as high as twelve mops an hour.

The request was made be- cause of the fact that the members of the Argansas regiment will be ex- tremely busy during the month or October because of the cotton market activity.

THEY GROW.
Good Humor and Cheerfulness from
 Right Food.

Cheerfulness is like sunlight. It dis pels the clouds from the mind as sun- light chases away the shadows of night.
 The good humored man can pick up and carry off a load that the man with a grouch wouldn't attempt to lift.
 Anything that interferes with good health is apt to keep cheerfulness and good humor in the background. A Washington lady found that letting coffee alone made things bright for her. She writes:
 -Four years ago I was practically given up by my doctor and was not expected to live long. My nervous system was in a bad condition.
 But I was young md did not want to die so l began to look about for the cause of my chronic trouble. l used to have nervous spells which would exhaust me and after each spell il would take me days before l could sit uP in chair.
 q became convinced my trouble was caused by coffee. I decided te stop it and bought some Postum.
 "The first cup, which l made ac cording to directions, had a soothing effect on my nerves and l liked the taste. For time I nearly lived or Postum and ate little food besides. am today a healthy woman.
 My family and relatives wonder if I am the same person l was foul years ago, when could do no work or account of nervousness. Now l am do ing my own housework, take care ol two babies-one twenty, the other two months old. I am so busy that h"Hd ly get time to write letter, yet dc it all with the cheerfulness and gooC humor that comes from enjoying gooC health.
