primarily by the reduction of the New York

several weeks been reported highly probable

decline of prices being accompanied by rumors
of coming dividend reductions by other rail-
roads. that the Central had acted. The
passing of the common dividend by the directors
of the Union Typewriter Company. which con-
trolls several well known typewriter manufactur-
ing concerns, naturally increased the bearish
sentiment furnishing fresh reminder Of
the far from prosperous condition of business:

TO LET CONTRACT DEC. P
Scavenger Franchise to be Grant
 ed to Lowest Bidder.
Resolution Adopted by Council Last Night Fixing Maximum Rates and
 Time of Bidding.

At special meeting last night the city council fixed Tuesday, December 22, as the time for open ing bids and awarding the scaven- ger franchise of this city. Under a resolution adopted by the coun- cil, which appears in full in another column, the contract will be given to a responsible person offering to perform the scavenger services at the lowest rates, the maximum rates having been fixed by the council.
 The franchise will be granted for one year only.
 In letting this contract, the council is endeavoring to follow the decision of the supreme court on the Little Rock ordinance, and under the new ordinance no reve- nue will accrue to the city.
 The council last night granted to Mrs. w. B. Hines the right to build an annex to her hotel, which is situated within the fire limits. The matter had previously been referred to the improvement con- mittee, which made a favorable re- port, but some opposition devel- oped among adjacent property owners, with the result that the permission was granted with four votes for and three against.

PURE FOOD LAW NO GOOD
Effort Being Made to Remedy State Law
 by Prescribing Penaly.


 Little Rock, Ark, December I2.
 So far as practical results are concerned, the pure food law of the last legislature has been a fail ure through the neglect of those passing it to prescribe any punish ment, which has prevented the wise ones, who wished to palm of an impure article, from giving the people of the state what the law intended they should have. Off, cials of the department of agricul- ture are now preparing a law which will remedy all the defects of the old bill and take in all foodstuff as well. This law is to be patterned after the one recommended by the convention of the commission CTS of agriculture of southern states, recently held in Atlanta. It will force all dealers in food for man or beast, to sell nothing but which has certain percentage of fat builders, energy givers, and to contain all the ingredients it is surpassed to contain, and in the proper quan- titles. The pure food act of the last legislature was more of drug act, but the new one will not only care for the purity in drugs, but everything eaten by man and beast, and there will be no loop holes left for violators to squir m through.

The order was issued by President Roosevelt November 2I, but no information concerning the discon- tinuance of the Dardanelle office and the transference and consolida- ton of the lands, business and ar chives of that office with the Little Rock office, was received until yes- terday afternoon when the formal notification was received. The or der is signed by Fred Dennett, commissioner of the general land office.
 The discontinuance ot the Dar- danelle office, which was estab- lished 1867, when it was removed from Clarksville, makes vacant two political positions which have been much sought after. It re- lieves Joseph Battenfeld, register, and ]. G. Chitwood, receiver, of the Dardanelle office, from further service, and deprives several Re- publican politicians of that dis trict from making the race for the appointments. There have been several applications for the posi- tions on file with Capt. F. w.. Tucker, chairman of the state Re- publican central committee. Each position paid about S2ooo annually in fees. The combination of the Dardanelle office with the Little Rock office makes the local office

Prominent Republican leaders

Prominent Republican leaders yesterday afternoon stated the abolishing of the Dardanelle office was but the forerunner of the dis continuance of all district offices, an order would soon be issued dis continuing those at Camden and Harrison. This would leave all state land matters in charge of the Little Rock office. The amount of business transacted in the dis trict offices has fallen off a great deal in recent years. and this IS thought to be the cause for the or der received yesterday.
