Many Masonic and Catholic emblems have been found carved upon fine stone deep in the earth by Dr. Hill during his excavat- ing work.

RIVER LOW, BUT
 WAFER IS PURE

Little Rock, Sept. 14.-In former years Little Rock and the towns along the Arkansas river which derive their water supply from that stream have suffered seriously when the river was so low, on account of the appearance of salt and other foreign substances, but this year, with the river lower than it has ever been at this time, the river is remarkably free from impur- ities. Dr. c. H. Hoffman, leading chemist of this city, who has made daily examinations of the water SUD- piled to Little Rock, made a report to the city council at it's meeting last night, in which he says the condition is due to the lack of rain in Oklahoma.
 Had there been rains the salt in the Cimarron and Saline rivers would have been washed down to bother those dependant upon the Arkansas for water. pr. Hoffman made report towering August and 10 days of this month, and in all that time there ap- peared from AS to 248 millonth parts of chlorine in the water. The lowest was on the first of August and the highest on the ninth day of the month. pr. Hoffman reported no baccili in the water of an injurious nature at all.

LITTLE POINTER FOR BRIDE.
Matron cf Year Showed Her How in All Probability She Could Save
 Pin Money.

"Here's a little pointer for you" said the bride of last June 10 the bride of this June. "Fll tell you my own experience and you can judge for yourself what 10 do. When we returned from our wedding trip and l began 10 rummage through Georges belongings l found six or seven pairs of gloves and at least nine pairs of silk hose-things that he had never had on. They had been tucked away in all sorts of places. Most of them 1 at once recognized as presents l had given to him from time to time. Besides them 1 found lot of handkerchiefs still unused, handkerchiefs 1 had embroidered his initial on with my own hands.
 What do you suppose l did? Foolishly I gathered them all to- gether and spread them out on the bed where he would see them when he came home and feel ashamed of himself for never using my presents. Just think what lack of fore thought 1 showed! Consider what a saving of pin money it would have been if l had put the things away and then doled them out to him for Christmas presents or birthday pres ents one by one. It would have served him exactly right, too"

My feet were badly swollen at times and l was so weak that I could scarcely totter about the house My eyesight failed me and 1 had but little control over he passages of the kidney secretions.

Expect Gu, In Freight R,l.s

Railroad men are of the opinion TINT
Nevada, Utah and other Western States
may be granted some relief in freight
rates even before the Interstate Com
merce Commission takes action. A re-
port has been current ever since the
rate hearing that when the Western
Pacific opens through to the coast this
fall, George Gould will make a sweep
ing reduction of freight rates, INSTALL
ing u tariff sheet based on the number
of miles the commodities are hauled
rather than upon water competition,
says the Salt Lake Herald Republican.
This sheet, it is predicted, will give
q lower rate to Utah than to Califor.
mia, and a lower rate to Colorado than
to Utah. The principle of mileage will
be the sole basis for the rate charged,
except. of course, higher charges will
be made for hauling some kinds of goods
than others.
Frank B. Kindell, q brother of the
noted George b Kiudell of Denver.
was in Salt Lake recently and said no
had q letter from the Denver rate ex-
pert, notifying him to expect wholesale
reductions in freight rates. The letter
did not specify from what cause the re-
duction would come. but Frank Kindell
believes the Western Pacific will be the
principal factor.
The reason railroad men are inclined
to put faith in the report is because the
Globe Express company, distincitively
n Gould corporation, has just
ell that it would handle Wells-Fargo
consignments from Glenwood west on
the Denver 81 Rio Grande and Western
Pacific. II is known that II general al
iteration of the express tariff is now
being made and it is believed these
charges will include reductions.
"lf express rates are reduced it is a
moral certainty freight rates will fol.
low" said n railroad man Saturday.
For years Gould has been acting in
dependently when ever he could. and
when his Western Pacific is compl .ted
he will have II route from coast to cast,
and it means ne can do as he plelses.
Heretofore the Denver & Rio Grande
has had to maintain amicable relations
with the Oregon Short Line, bee :use
no freight or passenger traffic orig;lat-
ed mt its Ogden terminal. nor could
Gould route any traffic to the crast
without using the Hartman lines. l
would not he surprised to see n slauglter
of rates when the Western Pa .ifc
opens"
