THREE BODIES FOUND.
Deep Waters of the White Gives Up Part of the Victims of the Clar-
 endon Launch Fatality.

Clarendon, May 24.-Today has added another chapter to the fatal launch party calamity of Tues day evening, last yet 1t has inspir- ed the hope that all the bodies of the victims will be recovered, three having been taken from the river today.
 Al about two o'clock this morn- ing the watchers on the steam boat Aida were rewarded by sec ing a body floating on the water in the middle of the river, about a half mile below where the acci- dent happened, and upon investi- ga,ion it proved to be that of Dr. A. l.. Houston. It was imme- diately taken from the water and brought to town and found to be fairly we'll preserved.
 A few hours later the watchers were again rewarded by finding the body of Miss Lillian Winfield and still later on in the day, the body of Miss Matte Counts was discovered floating down the river nearly three miles below the place where she was drowned.

NEW RAILROAD
 NOW ASSURED
Line Between Hot Springs and Mena to Be in Operation within Year if Necessary Concessions Are
 Granted.

Hot Springs, Ark, May 25.- A railroad line between Hot Springs and Mena is an assured reality, providing right-of-way IS secured. There seems to be little question but that this will be done. Funds are at hand to begin work immediately. The road will be in active operation Tn the course of a year, it is stated, if the necessary conces. sions are granted.
 Backing for the construction of the road is assured by George E. Crater, Jr., of London, Eng land, a prominent corporation lawyer and railway promoter. He has been sent here with Engineer Alexander Perry by wealthy companies, who have agreed to to furnish the money to construct the road, asking only for right of way. The corporations he represents will not equip the road, but will simply build It. The distance to be covered is about eighty miles.
 It 1t estimated the line will shorten the distancs to Kansas City more than 100 miles. Under existing conditions goods have to come by way of St. Louis.
 Another even more important object will be attained ln opening up valuable territory. The sec- tion of Arkausas to be traversed by the road is rich in forest prod ucts, such as pine, walnut and oak timber. Several fertile agri- cultural valleys will be furnished with an outlet.
 The Business Mems league is much gratifed at the trend of events. Dr. E. l.. Riggs has been an important factor in getting Mir. Crater here.

KILLED BEAR AND WOLVES.
Thad and Isaac Reed Bring in Carcass
 and Six Wolf Scalps Today.

Thad aud Isaac Reed, who re- side out on the Ouachita, drove into Mena Saturday morning. bringing with them large black bear which they had shot and killed Friday morning in the Fourche mountains east of Mena. In addition to the bear killed, a cub bear was captured and a den of wolves discovered and six young wolves killed and their scalps taken.
 Thad Reed, in speaking of this exciting bear and wolf hunt, stated that he aud Isaac Reed accom- panied by J. A. Ford and two sons started ont Thursday alter noon for the Fourche mountains to spend Friday hunting wolves, which are said to be very numer- ous i'll that section.
 Early Friday morning the party struck out from camp and it was only snort time untll tue dogs took up the trail and the chase vas on. About 10 o'clock Thad Reed stopped under a tree to rest and on looking down ois- covered the bed of bear aud just above him, clinging to the trunk of the tree. was a young cub, Shortly after making this discovery Mir. Reed heard a rustling in the brush and soon the mother bear was seen rushing toward him ready for a scrap. When at distance of about twenty feet the animal raised to it's hind feet, then MT. Reed brought his gun into action aud sent a load of buckshot into the neck of the bear, killing It almost instantly.
 After securing the dead bear inc cub aud the scalps oi the SIX wolves the party returned home much elated oyer the days hunt

AGAINST SPECIAL
 LEGISLATION
State Bar Association Raps Arkansas Legislature for Spending so Much Time Passing Local and
 Special Bills.


 1ay,s session of the Arkansas Bar ssociation. which convened yes torday morning in the circuit co,rt room of the Federal build ino was marked by an important renort of the Committee on Law and Law Reforms. which de- clared that the Arkansas legisla- t1re is being more and more governed by local and special lecislation to the detriment of the state. The report was en- dorsed and an interesting discus sion followed it's reading. The committee is composed of John Fletcher, Thomas c. McRea and John II, Carmichael. President w. H. Arnold of Texarkana nresided over the convention.
 The report called attention to the fact that the constitution of Arkansas provides that "ln all eases where general law can be made applicable, no special law shall be enacted'' and that mo local or special bill shall be passed
 
 unless the notice of the intention to apply therefore shall have been published in the locality to the affected thereby for 30 days.
 .sSince the decision of the case of Davis ys. Gaines was rendered." continues the report, "hoIding that the acton of the legislature is conclusive of any qnestion that may be raised in reference to these provisions of the constitution, they have been practically disregarded by the legislature
 The report shows that by the legislature of IS74-75 100 bills were passed of which Il were local and special and S9 we're general. Only II per cent of the whole number were special and local. Coming down to the last General Assembly, there were en- acted 474 bills, of which 30S are local and special and 166 are general. The percentage of local and special bills is 62.S7 per cent.
 We can suggest no remedy, other than that which appeals to the conscientious discharge of duty by the individual legisla- tors, says the report. "A refer ence of each local or special bill to a proper committee charged with the duty to inquire into the question arising under the con stitutional provisions referred to, might go far to correct the evil.
 We also suggest that q law should be enacted regulating the publication of the notice indicat- ed by the constitution, and a proper construction of such an act by the Supreme court might go long way to correct the ap- parent wrong growing out of the decision Tn Davis vs. Gaines.
 J. II. Carmichael Of the com mittee declared the passing of special and local bills is some thing akin to bribery. Suppose that l were representing a certain county in the legislature and wanted something special, said Mir. Carmichael, "and a repre- sentative in another county want ed q special act for a goose farm. If 1 vote for his bill and he votes for mine. without either of us looking into the necessity of the others bill, l ask if that is right Things will come to such pass in this state that if we do not check the passage of special local laws, laws simply representing the whims, passions or preiudlces of the legislators, we will burden the state statute books.

LOST TWO-THTRDS CONTROL
OvertuIning of Legislatures in In
diana and Nebraska Big Loss
to Republicans.

A Washington dispatch says the
overturning of the legislatures in Ne
braska and Indiana and the success
of the democratic candidate for the
senatorship in the Oregon primaries
will prevent the republicans from ex-
Iercising control of the senate vote.
The republicans, however, will re-
tmain in the majority.
The effect of these changes would
be felt only in the event that on
some party question it became neces-
sary, as in the ratification of a treaty,
to have a twO-thirds vote. With
Indiana and Nebraska swinging into
the democratic column and the re-
tirement of Mr.. Fulton of Oregon the
democrats will have SO votes in the
senate, which is three more than the
requisite one-third with which a two
thirds vote could be blocked.
1t is believed the new democratic
senator from Indiana will be John
W. Kern, the defeated candidate for
the yice-presidency The appear
ance of q democrat in the senate
from Indiana will break the contin-
uous service of two republicans from
that state in he upper body since
S99, when David Turpie surren-
dered his office to Senator Beyer-

Taft's vote was almost wholly re-
ceived from the blacks, not more
than half dozen white votes being
cast for him in the entire county.
With the exception OF three or four
Taft's II votes at the Dawson pre-
.cinct were polled from among the
.seventy-odd negroes who voted here
and inquiry developed the fact that
no white people voted the republican
ticket at the country precincts.

In his own state OF Nebraska he

but carried it for himself by 10000.
The majority of congressman were
also elected by the democrats, as well
as the legislature.
In Indiana a republican majority
of 10000 of four years ago for
Roosevelt was reduced to less than
5000. Eleven out of thirteen con-
gressmen We're elected by the demo-
Gratis, and also a democratic govern

will, 1t is said, send John w. Kern.
the vice-president candidate. to the
United States senate. In Ohio the
home state Of President-elect Taft
the republican majority for presi-
dent was reduced 100000 votes
and a democratic governor was elect
ed. The vote was so close that the
complexion of the legislature is still
in doubt, and in favor of the demo-
Gratis. Senator Foraker will very
| likely be succeeded by a democrat.
In Minnesota republican MAORI
ty for Roosevelt OF 100000 four
years ago was reduced to 10000. and
, Governor Johnson, democrat. was re-
elected by 10000 majority.
The closest vote in the union was

New York was the greatest sur
prise OF the election The city of

tofore given large democratic ma
