EXCELLENT FACILITIES

Little Rock, Oct. 21. -Passen- gers to Fort Smith from Little Rock are enjoying a distinction which few towns of the state are getting advantage of at the pre- sent time. The city is so situat- ed that in order to get into it from most directions a railroad must be taken which runs for a short distance into Oklahoma, though the line may never be out of sight at any time. This makes the journey an interstate one and consequently the 2 cent passenger rate applies from most places to that city.

SHORT LINES WANT
 IN THE GAME
Secure a Restraining Order To Prevent Staate from
 Enforcing its Laws

Little Rock, Oct 21.-Nine short lines of railroad which are subsidiary to the Iron Mountain, yerterday afternoon secured a restraining order against the Arkansas railroad commission, Bttorney General Kirby, and and shippers of the various lines, in the United States circuit court, presided over by Judge Jacob Trieber. Each line must file a bond of $25,0 GOO within ten days and upon notice of five days the state can come into court with a motion to dissolve the injunction. Judge Trieber granted the order on the ground that the short lines are losing money at ssthe g rate and the faeight tariff issued by the com- mission last December. The roads interested tn the injunc- tion are: Pine Bluff and Vest ern, Arkansas Central, Arkan- sas Midland, Fl Dorado and Bartrop: Brinkley, Helena and Indian Bay; Ark. Southwestern; Mississippi river, Hamburg and Western; Ark. & La; and Cur don and Ft. Smith. These short roads figure that they lost from $11, 1000 to $35, 900 each during the entire year of 1907.

Skaggs still expresses a desire to die n order that he may rise again on the third day and show to the world he is the living Christ
 The chances to get out are small. however, and it has been suggested that if he wants to die so very. very bad as he pro- fesses to, he can accomplish his design very easily after being put to work in the penitentiary, bv starting off on a run, for the guards is true.
 Skaggs was convicted for the alleged criminal assault upon Mrs. Taylor, and sentenced to serve 21 years in the peniten- tiary. He then claimed the as- sault was not physical, but men, tai, and performed for the pur- pose of getting him executed so

County OfHcials In Danger OF Oieobey-

Montpelier, April City Judge
E. M. Harvey, as assistant clerk Of
Washington county court has refused
to receive any more second natural
izati0n papers for the reason that the
state auditors may call for fee Of 81
while the United States laws provide
for fee Of 81 and impose penalty Of
$1,000 or two years In prison II more
Is exacted. The matter has been re-
ferred to Atty.-Gen. C. c. Fits. who
will probably call for q decision from
the. department of commerce and
labor.
The difficulty grows out of the new
naturalization law, which provides
that papers may be taken out In
county courts. Under the state laws
the auditor calls for fees OF $l4 for
such transactions.
1t Is estimated that between four
days and a week would be consumed
in examining. 100 applications and
there is a feeling that the state ought
not to be put to considerable expense
for federal matter Of business.
II the federal court should not hold
a session for naturalization purposes
here 1t will be necessary for the APP
plicants and his two witnesses to go to
Rutland, involving serious hardship
for many would be citizens.
