 In addition to carrying on a mercantile business, Mir. Chauey is engaged in the lumber busi- ness, operating several saw mills in the vicinity of Moore's Spur.

 ULATIONS.
EXCEPT WHEN EAJOINED BY INJUNCTION
Collectors Will Limit Observance of lnjunctions to DistiIIerics and Dis tricts Covered by Restraining Or ders-Revenue Department Looks for injunctions in All Districts.

Washington, Aug. 1.-The action of Judge Kohlsaat at Chicago Thursday in sustaining the ruling of the court in the Peoria, IL, district following that of Judge Severance in the Gin cinnati case inhibiting the collectors of internal revenue from inforcing the new internal revenue regulations as to the branding of packages containing alcohol or spirits will not influence the officials of the department of jus tice to the extent of the complicated appeals in these cases or in any oth- CTS that may arise. The collectors have been instructed to strictly ob- serve the restraining orders issued by the courts, but they are to limit their observance to the particular districts and the particular distilleries in those districts covered by the restraining tilleries whether in these districts or outside of them the new regulations are to be promptly and rigidly in- forced. The appeals will at once be taken in each of these cases as the government is determined to prose cute them if necessary to the courts of last resort. In the Cincinnati, Peoria and Goshen, Ind, districts are located the largest grain alcohol dis. tilleries in the country and while the restraining orders so far issued apply to only one or two distilleries in the district it is believed that the other distilleries, encouraged by the favor able action of the courts in the few cases already brought, also will apply for injunctions. Tn that event by far the greater bulk of spirits of alcohol made in this country will continue for the present at least, to be marked as prescribed in the old regulations which were rescinded by the depart ment on July 1.

BERRY SPOKE
 TWICE OF DAVIS
Former Senator Delivered a Lecture in His Home Town and Said it Would Have Been Better if One Ar
 kansans Had Kept Still.

B<ntonville, July 31.-Senator James H. Berry delivered his new
 ecture, "The United States Sen- ite and the South," last night
 'efcre large audience in the county court house at this place. The entire proceeds of the lecture will be devoted to paying the expenses of the celebration which Is to take place here August s, upon the unveiling of the Con- tederate monument, which is at present being erected in the cen ter of the city park.
 Senator Berry was presented by Judge Felix Lindsay of this city, and began his address with a tribute to the Daug ghters of the Confederacy, who have raised most of the money necessary for the erection O. the monument in the park. He then told of his entrance into the Senate of the United States over P years ago, and described many of his asso- ciates in the Sepate chamber at that time, several of whom have since died. He assured his audi tors that the Senate was not as oad as 1t has sometimes been painted, and paid high tribute to several of the senators, among whom were James K. Jones, his colleague.
 While in the course of his re- marks, the Senator did not refer to Senator Davis by name, he spoke twice of him indirectly i, once remarking that it would have been better fer Arkansas if one man had never opened nis mouth on the floor of the Senate chamber. Tins was the first time that Senator Berry has de- livered an address in this, his home town, in long time, and the people of the city, as we'll as surrounding country, seemed par ticularly glad 10 hear him again.

yiolators of Hygienic Laws.
Quebec, Canada, July 27

It is not only in the rural districts that unsanitary conditions about the house cause diseases and the deaths that are Set down as the dispensation of Providence. In towns and cities there are homes which are whited sepulchers with their clean, shining fronts, their freshly watered lawns, blooming flower-beds, inviting verandas and cool, charming rooms. But the backwards There is the inside of the sepulcher. Heaps of decaying rubbish, little stagnant cesspools-result of poor drainage uncleaned stables and henhouses from which emanate odors, fraught with germs of disease. In many homes of cultured persons where the laws of hygiene are known, there is strange disregard of these, a care lessness in the treatment of left over food and of milk and butter those prime absorbers of impurities; a neglect in the removal of rubbish and garbage and in the airing of beds and bed-clothing. Such neg lect affects not only the one house hold, but those adjacent, the winds hastening to carry the poison afar. Mary E. Bryan, in Uncle Remus's- The Home Magazine for August.

 at Fort Smith.

Fort Smith, July 30. --Thing' theatrical are by no means run ming smoothly with the Albert Taylor Stock Company. which is playing three weeks engage. ment at this place.

 The assault is alleged to have taken place at the theater this morning during rehearsal. Miss Kane IS now at local hotel under the care of two physicians in state bordering on hysteria.
 According to her statements, she was badly maltrcated by Tay Tor. who literally threw her of the stage, it IS claimed. A sleeve was torn out of her shirtwaist aud she was otherwise abused iD the scuffie, in which the other members of the company took no part.
 The trouble has been brewing all week, as Miss Kane refused to take any part in this weeks pro- auctions and the leading parts have been taken by her under study.
 According to her story, she has been supplying the money to carry the company along and has contributed nearly $1,000 to the support of the troupe, which be- came involved at Hot Springs previous to coming here. The trouble this morning arose, it is alleged, over an attempt on the part of Miss Kane to secure settlement with Taylor, as she claims to hold a note against him which he ignored.

Washington, Aug. Inability to extradite offenders for socalled poll tical offenses which, in the opiinon oi the administration. are really crimes that should be extraditable is proving a source of great irritation in the eff fort which the United States govern ment is making to break up revolu tionary activity along the Mexican Texas boundary. This, coupled with the difficulty in detecting and proving violations in the neutrality laws ren ders it difficult to convince the Mexi cans of the sincerity of this govern ment in its determination to punisl the guilty. On his recent trip tt Oyster Bay Ambassador Greet talked over the whole border trouble witt President Roosevelt who is determined to put an end to the trouble as far a. .lies in the governments power. Tht president, it Is understood, favors, necessary, the employment of specia counsel who may apply themselves t. the question of neutrality violations and extradition, so that the law may be fully inforced. Officials contend there is no reason why persons or this side of the border who foment revolutionary movements and cross into Mexico to engage in raids and other operations of criminal charac- ter and then seek safety from arrest in this country should have any ex- emption from extradition on the al leged ground that their acts were DO. litical.
 On the contrary the official view is that they should be extradited as selons. Both the United States and he Mexican governments, it was of icially said Thursday, are fully reused in this matter and that the ormer will take drastic steps to end
