Has Only a Small Force.

Jackson county, one of the first counties to make formal application to the state penitentiary board for convicts to be worked on the roads, has only 13 conviets that it can make requisition for under the provisions of the Patterson act. No convict serving for term longer than five years can be used in the road work. Of these 13 two are said to be prac- tically invalids, leaving a force of II men subject to active duty. Also, of the entire 13, only three have sen tences which extend beyond January 1, 1910. In other words, unless other convicts are had for fve-year terms or less, before the beginning of the new year. the county would have only three convicts for road working purposes. Attorney General Norwood has held informally that the provis- ions of the Patterson law will require the county to support all of it's con victs whose terms are for five years or less, in case it makes acquisition for any such convicts The language Ql luS dCl SldJ6S lHdI tue SlleGlH Sudll take all of the convicts eligible as to term of sentence, making no distinc- tion as between those that can work and those that cannot. This will ne cessitate the employment of a phy- sieian for the invalid convicts.
 In Jackson county road district has been formed and a warden em- ployed, his salary being $75 per month. It will also require cook for the camp, stockades for the con victs and their care and keep while at work. Should no further convic- tions thus be had in that county be- fore the end of the year, of men with terms within those specified in the law, then the county would have a S75-per-month warden, the expenses of cook and of hospital maintenance for the invalid convicts on it's hands. Another feature of the law is that no provision is made for returning | convicts to the penitentiary when they are once put on road duty, and should a county find that it's quota of conviets had dropped down to where they could not be worked ad- vantageously, it is contended that it would have to keen those it has made requisition for, as the law does not authorize their return to the peni- | tentiary.

MEETING OF FARMERS UNION.
Discuss Plan of Establishing an h. surance Department of the Order.

Discuss Plan of Establishing an h.
 surance Department of the Order.
 Jonesboro.-The Craighead County Farmers Union held executive ses- sions last week at Jonesboro at which the question of establishing an insur- ance department in connection with the organization was discussed, and it is believed a majority of the dele gates are in favor of the proposition. The plan is to assess each member a small sum which will go into fund to be paid on the death of a member to pay his burial expenses. It is claimed that by paying s 1-3 cents every three months funerol benefit of $200 can be paid upon the death of a member The following officers were elected for the year: Joe A. Ste phens reelected president, T. l.. Thurman of Cane Island elected vice president, R. K. Farrer, secretary and treasurer; Rev. Mir Huutcheson of Herndon, chaplain; Rev. J. NJ. Will Hams of Lake City, county lecturer; Jones Shaw of Mangrum, conductor; A. B. Cole and J. R. Caldwell were elected executive committee The contract for supplying the members of the union which Johnson, Berger and z. T. Matthews now have will expire this month and will be submitted to the merchants of the city for bids within the next few weeks. The low est bidder will be given a years con tract.

oRPHANAeE WILL SOON OPEN.
Institution Near Argenta is Nearly
 Completed

Argenta.-The St Joseph's Orphan age, located four miles north of Ar genta, is now reaching a stage of completion, all the heavy work having been done and the painting and dec orating being well under way. No definite plans have been made for the opening, nor has it been decided re- garding the ceremonies on the occa- sion, but Bishop Morris reports that it will be opened and in service as soon as the work is completed and the building furnished. The work on the building will be finished in about two weeks There are from 60 to 100 children who will be taken to the new home as soon as ii is ready who are now making their homes temper arily in various parts of Pulaski eoun- ty with different families. The ca pacity of the asylum will be about 400 children, and it is thought that there are enough children in the county without homes to cause the roll to rapidly approach the limit in the first few months, but the rapidity with which the children come in will decrease as the institution grows old CT. All homeless children in this county will be accepted regardless of creed but in other counties of the state only Catholic orphans will be taken for the present. Later on the institution will make no restrictions according to creed in Sebastian count ly, in which Fort Smith is located, and If possible as the orphanage grows it is thought that all orphans from all parts of the state will be accepted

Rockwell Returned to Pen.

Fred Rockwell, who was serving an 18-year sentence in the penitentiary on account of his conviction in Craig head county for felony, and who was paroled by the penitentiary board six weeks ago, after having served seven years of his term, was surrendered by his bondsmen last week and re- committed to the penitentiary. Those who were on his bond had heard from what they considered reliable authority that Rockwell was making preparations to leave the state. The law requires that paroled prisoner shall report at least once month to the sheriff of his county to give an account of his conduct. At the end of six months, if it be shown that he is engaged in an honorable calling, the penitentiary board, upon the recommendation of the superin- tendent, may discharge the prisoner
 Rockwell is an expert operator of a steam shovel and when he was pa roled by the board in May he was given employment at the Dickinson brick yard on the day following his release at salary of $75 per month.

Railway Files Agreement.

An agreement has been filed by the Kansas City Southern railroad where by it enters into the formal suspen- sion of all pending litigation for the period of one year. The agreement also provides that the court tariff and the 2 1-2 cent passenger rate shall be established for the year. The Kansas City Southern notified the commission about three weeks ago that it would enter into the suspen- sion agreement and no action has been taken in it's case by the coun- sel of the commission, awaiting the filing of the agreement. The filing of it is the formal step in the matter and places the road on a par with the Frisco and the Rock Island With only the Iron Mountain and the Cot ton Belt left in the litigation, the counsel for the Railroad Commission will be able to concentrate it's efforts toward a successful conclusion of these two cases.
