R. R. COMMISSION MAKES MOVE.
Will Undertake to Assess Penalty Against Roads for Exorbitant Rates.

Little Rock, Oct. l6.-The railroads in Arkansas are facing serious proposition. Sometime ago they secured a restraining order preventing the State from prosecuting the roads for viola tion of the railroad commission orders and rates. This restrain ing order was granted on the ground that the tariff established by the commission YVES confisca- tory, because it forced the roads to operate at loss.
 The roads have now prepared new rates which will go into effect and the railroad commission through Attorney General Kirby will decide that these rates are unreasonable and far too high, and thereupon enforce the peu- alty of $3,000 for each viola tion of the commissioners order. This will save the commission the necessity of going into court aud asking an injunction which action would place upon them the burden of proof to show that the new rates are exoribtant.

LEGISLATURE SHOULD AID
Governor Pindall Says State Should Help Perpetuate State Fair by
 Appropriation.

Little Rock, Oct. 5.-Governor X. o. Piniall returned yesterday afternoon from Hot Springs, where he spent the first three days of the week taking in the Arkansas state far.
 "The fair this year is greater in every department than 1t was last" said Governor Pindall, "and it has become to be recog- nized as the fair for the entire state. The show is really cred ible one, and l am proud of 1t. The attendance IS good, too, and all are staying longer than they intended, for there is more to see than they anticipated, and the entertainment IS much better than I looked for. The Arkansas Legislature should do something to perpetuate the fair, as Hot Springs is the logical place for it. I will work in the next legis- lature to secure such an appro- pria ton, and think it can be easily done. No other town or city in the state would have such plant at which to hold fair as has Hot Springs, and no other city has the hotel room to accom- modate the people as has Hot Springs

aud that the state officers now having ii in charge be relieved of the work and responsibility. The governor, the secretary of state, the attorney general, the state auditor and the commissioner of agriculture now compose the board. Mir. Donaghey thinks that the people, in electing these oncers, cannot always select good men for both places, and that the commissioners should be selected for their special fitness for the work to be done.
 Establish Agricultural Schools.
 An agricultural school bill will be suggested by the new gover- nor, and there is little doubt that the legislature will pass bill establishing at least one, and possibly four such schools in the state. The Farmers Union has adopted resolutions asking for its creation and the fact that Governor John Ike Moore vetoed the bill adds to the general be- lief that the new bill will become law.
 That the two-cent rate law pcssed by the last legislature will be repealed is freely predicted by those who are in a position to know something of the temper of the new legislature. A straw indicating the direction of the wind on this point was the elec- tioh of Robert w. Glover of Grant county to the state senate over John c. Ross of Hot Springs county. Ross was the author of the two-cent rate bill and fought for it's passage through the last legislature. Glover's platform was in opposition to the law on the ground that 1t would operate to retard the development of  commerce of Arkansas.
 Just what stand Governor Don aghey will take on this matter is not known from the fact that he has nst allowed any word to drop concerning his feelings on this point. Yet it is freely predicted that should the law be repealed he will loose no time iu approving it. He is known tc be conservative, and thus IS ex' pected to stand with those who desire the repeal of the law.
 The question of statewide prohibition is also on docket for the coming legislature. Tenn perance advocates will insist upon the matter beiug submitted to the people for vote.
 Withal the thirty-seventh gen eral assembly of Arkansas is expected to be most impor tant gathering.

CANNOTLEYY FOR POLLTAX

 on Property.

Little Rock, Oct. 16.-Attor- ney General Kirby yesterday af- ternoou rendered a far-reaching decision on the poll tax question. He decided that sheriff cannot levy upon citizen for poll tax or hold 1t as lien upon bis prop erty. He holds that a poll IS a portion of the body. and inti. mates that the state would not be any the better of if the sheriff was to levy upon tho heads of many of the citizens and get them under foreclosure.

The Stoekina Trunk.

The trunk was lined with pinl satin-a small black trunk. orns e with rich brass trimmings.
 This is a stocking trunk" the deal CT said. There are hat trunks, shoe trunks, fur trunks. lace trunks--at last the stocking trunk appears.
 Many women. you know, plunge heavily in the matter of stockings. It is not rare to see lace stockings that cost $100 a pair. All such hose are very frail, very delicate; they must not be torn or soiled; hence the stock ing trunk with its satin lining.
 These six compartments will hold 100 pairs. That is good many. Yet a beautiful actress told me recently. as she bought a stocking trunk, that she had l25 pairs, worth over 1000"

OUR NEW M. e. MINISTER.

DR.. 5. l.. Boyers, the new pastor
of the Methodist church. preached his
first sermon Sunday, and made a most
favorable impression on the large con-
gregation which greeted him. He is
a bright and genial gentleman and
we believe our Methodist brethren
were very fortunate in securing him.
He has been unpacking his household
goods this week and he expects his
family to join him within a short
time.
DR.. Boyers has been located at Gin
ton, ILL.,, the past year, where he had
an unusually successful pastorate. He
was transferred to Hoopeston, Ill.,,
a short ime since, but on account of
the health Of his wife he had requested
to be sent to South Dakota. and at
the recent NJ. +. conference the op-
portunity came for an exchange or
pulpits with Dr. Hall, who went from
here to Hoopeston.
A Hoopeston paper in speaking of his
transfer to that city says:
Rev. S. l.. Boyers, d. d., has ar
rived to assume the pastorate of the
First Methodist church of this city
and will preach his first sermon in
Hoopeston tomorrow morning at
1915; and if the South Dakota con-
ference doen't see its way clear to
make the contemplated exchange.
Rev BOyers will remain in Hopes
ton. It's his first visit to the city.
and he is already favorably impressed
with the people and with the general
up-to-date look of the place. His fam
lily consists of Mrs. Boyers and a son
eight years Old, who have not yet ar.
rived.
Mr.. Hoycrs was born in West Vir-
ginia. He doesn't say when, but out
guess is that the event happened less
than Il years ago. He attended the
Ohio Wesleyan. the Vanderbilt and
Boston universities, and received the
degrees of A. b., A. NJ. B. d., S. T. b.
and j. ID, He spent nine years in
educational work. his last position in
that line having been that of president
of the West Virginia Wesleyan col
lege at Buckhannon (spelling Of town
approved by Postal Guide) He is a
pleasant appearing gentleman and we
hope the Methodists of Hoopeston may
truly congratulate themselves if the
Dakota slate should get cracked in the
handling and Rev. Boyers be elected to
remain in HoopeSton"

r. L. Villas SELLS OUT.

On Monday Fred l.. Villas closed
a deal for the sale of his drug stock
to f. C. Paige and S. S. Spedden of
st. Paul, who took possession of their
new property Monday noon. Messrs.
Spedden and Paige are first class drug
gists and are most pleasing gentlemen
to meet. The manner in which they
have taken hold of the business proves
that they are good business men and
hustlers and we predict that they will
will retain all of the customers of the
old firm and gain many new ones.
They have a number of improvements
in view which will add greatly to the
attractiveness of the store.
Mr.. Villas informs us that he is un-
decided as to where he will locate
and will remain here for the present
and that the family will probably stay
here all winter Mr.. Villas departure
is a distinct loss to the business in
terests of the city, as he has always
given literally of his time and money
to any enterprise for the benefit Of
the town, and wherever he goes he
will carry the best wishes of a host
of friends.

NEW SCHOOL OPENS.

The school Of agriculture of the
State college opened its doors to re-
ceiye students this week and on Tues
day classes began. About fifty young
men and young women enrolled the
first day and new ones are coming in
every day. The new school starts out
most auspiciously. and within a short
time should become one Of the larg-
est and most valuable departments of
the college
For the present classes will be
held in the college rooms, but it is
very probable that within a reason
able time the legislature will provide
building for the exclusive use of
the school Should the enrolment
increase as expected it would be abso-
lutely necessary to secure other quart
ers and the legislature can hardly re-
fuse to provide for a school which
means so much to the young people
on the farms in this state.
The school is in charge of DR.. A.
A. Brigham and Miss Jessie NJ. Hoover
is preceptress. The young lady stu
dents will find homes at the girls
dormitory. and the young men will
be quartered with private families
The school will run for five months,
closing in April.
