AN INCREASE OF $4,OOO
State Treasury in Better Shape Now Than for Several Days Past
 Liquor License Decreases
Special to the News.

Little Rock, Ark, Feb. 20 The state treasury is in a little better shape today than for several days past, showing in round numbers $40, ,000, against $36, 900 last Saturday. The sheriffs as yet are paying but little money into the treasury from liquor licenses, but Dr. Moore, the state auditor, looks for considerable money to come in from this source m the near future. The amount received this year will be somewhat small CT than for several years past from the fact that saloons in the country districts have been eliminated by the general as sembly, which passed bill for bidding the selling of liquor ex, cept in cities and incorporated towns. It is estimated, however, that this sum will reach 00,000 or maybe more. This will have the effect of staying off the threatened deficiency for the time being, at least. pr. Moore has sent out a letter to the sheriffs of the various counties, asking them to hurry in pay ments on this license, as fast as is possible. .

NO RECEIVERSHIP YET
George Gould Says There is Absolutely No Truth in Recent Reports
 to That Effect.

New York, Feb. 19.-Reports circulated in the West for several days that a receivership was about to be asked forthe Missouri Pacific railroad were denied to- day by George J. Gould, presi- dent of the road.
 There is absolutely not word of truth in those reports or any reports of that kind involving this property" he said. Re ceivership proceedings have not been thought of or even dreamed of and there is not even the most remote possibility they will be. "
 Rumors that a receiver would be appointed appeared to be wholly based on the continued decline in the Missouri Pacific shares on the stock exchange. Despite the fact that practically all of the roads have published earnings for December the Oc tober statement is the last put out by the Missouri Pacific.

ORDERS A NEW DEPOT
Railroad Commissioners Meet at Court House at l:3O p. M-Met by Com
 mittee of Three Business Men.

The Railway Commission met at the Court House this after noon at 1:30 to hear oral argu- ment in support of the com plaints filed with that body re- lative to sidetracks, depot facil- ities and additional passenger train service from this point north.
 The plaintiffs side was ably presented by w. V. Tompl1ins, who pointed out the lack Of room for loading and unloading freight cars at this point, he also char acterized the old depot, as un- slightly, filthy and unsanitary and a menace to the public health. He also spoke on the train service as being inadequate and asked the Commission for relief from this condition.
 Mr. Ryan, trainmaster for the Iron Mountain, representing the railroad company, showed by the reports from the Prescott office (using January of this year) that the receipts of this place had fallen off $12,0O0.OO as compared with January last year, that but sixty five cars had heen for warded from this station during the month, and that he felt that according to this report that the sidetracks were ample for the business that was being handled from this station.
 Relative to the building of a new depot, he asked that this

Interesting Case In Supreme Court.
Special to the News.

Speclai to tue Nems
 Little Rock, Ark, Feb. 20.- One of the most interesting cases ever appealed to the Supreme Court of Arkansas, has just been filed with the clerk of that trib- unal. Clint Thompson, of Ft. Smith, convicted in the Chancery court at Ft. Smith, of an offense committed in what is known as the Cherokee Strip, extending from the western borders of the city of Ft. Smith, to Poteau river, has appealed to the highest court in the state, to test the legality of the decision. Thompson holds that the state courts of Arkansas have no jurisdiction over this strip, it being unde the luris- diction of the United States Courts, or of the state courts of Oklahoma.
 The decision of the Chancellor, as rendered in this case, covers more than eighty typewriter pages, and is most interesting document, dealing at length with the rights of state courts to deal with, or to have any jurisdiction over matters in the strip.

Cook, for alleged grating, given out at Washington City, is still being discussed in this city.

THE GOLF BALL

After searching long he found the
cause Of the prolonged flight In the ro-

OF the stroke from the tee.
The first principle of the explanation
Is In the simple fact that an object
poised In the air has an equal atmos

second principle is that when a sphere
rotates IN q current of air the side OF
the sphere which is advancing to meet
the current is subjected To- greater
