Now for Route No. 4.

A petition containing the names of the heads of no fami- lies with 100 agreeing to take boxes has been forw arded to the postal department at Washing ton, praying the establishment of the fourth rural route out of Green Forest.
 The proposed new route starts out of Green Forest west on the Berry vile road to the Grim school house, thence south to Tom Keller's on the mountain, thence east to W. T. Gray's, thence south to top of Brawley mountain on Osage road, thence east to A. M. Bradshaw's, thence to J. T. Engler's, thence south east to McGehee settlement, thence to Jess Harper's, thence north to Sam Stanphill's, thence north to S. s. Buell's saw mill, thence northeast to Joe Jones' thence north back to town.
 The distance covered is recon ed at twenty five miles. Most of the road is in very fair shape, the worst places being in the viz cinity of J. E. Reeds place, three miles southwest from town and in the McGce neighborhood Overseer Wells has done lots oi work along the proposed new route and has made a good pass way in many places where there was practically no road before.
 Special credit for the work in securing Route i, so far as it is accomplished, is due Bud Busch and Lea Parker, who circulated d the petition and otherwise de- signed the route. Both will be applicants for carrier. If the route is granted it will probably be started about July 1.

The Tribune is in receipt of a copy of the San Antonia Gazette which contains an interview with A. A. Davis, our own Austin, concerning the progress of the work and general conditions at the Panaman canal, from which place he had just arrived at the famous Texas health resort. Austin assured the reporters that things are moving nicely on the big ditch. He finds some little objection to the way things are being run and complains that the West Indian Negro labors employed are over- worked and under fed, and that the Ameri- cans there are most too exactio g as to the quality of the supplies furnished them by Uncle Sam. Probably the next we hear of Austin he will be in Greenland.
 Jerry Brammer took tumble off his horse in town Monday that has laid him for repairs again. Life would not seem na- tural to Jerry if he didn't get "bunged up" by an occasional accident. This time he planes it onto hog. He swears that the pesky swine was so illman- nered as to run right under the front end of bis premium saddler, just as he struck a gallop for home, and as resulu they all came down "caflumix" with 8 duli, sickening thud. The cir- cumstance was not vsry funny at the start and the humor of it is not very clear to Jerry yet, who carries his whole left arm in a sling and large scar on the right knee of his trousers. If Jerry had not tried to sell us this horse just ten minutes be- fore as the safest animal ever, we would not blow this on him.

LEGISLATION
PERTAINING To
TUBERCULOSIS
OF THE THIRTY-NINE BODIES IN
SESSION ALL BUT NINE HAVE
TAKEN UP THIS IMPORTANT
TOPIC.

New York, March 2.--The Ma
tional Association for the Study and
prevent on OF Tuberculosis, states
that OF the SO legislatures now in
session aFI but OF them have are
considering legislation pertaining to
tuberculosis and all OF the states
whose legislatures will not meet thfs
year are planning such legislation
In their next session; eight of the
b lis include compulsory registration
most OF them being modelled after
the New York State law.
While this law provides for the
registration OF all living cases of
tuberculosis and a register of these
records kept, 1t BBo provides that
these records shan not be public so
that the greatest objections TO such
legiglations have thus been removed
Further steps are to be taken by the
New York department OF health TO
insure the enforcement OF these
measures and II is confidently ex-
pected that with the cooperation of
rubhc officials and private citizens
the death rate IN this state will be
materially diminished IN the course
Of few years.

The subject OF the commercial
transaction was DIR. McPheeters
Glasgow. one OF the most prominent
surgeons OF the state, who had been
employed ythe prosecution TO go
TO Columbia and perform an autop-
sy on Senator Carmack's body. He
q id so and reported his finding to
the prosecutors. He was subpoe-
naed by the state but was not used
The defense learned OF the autopsy
and summoned the doctor.
DIR. Glasgow IS very ethical man.
He told counsel for the defense that
his services as an expert had been
retained by the state. and that he
would not discuss the case except
with the attorneys general.
The defense as'ssi he court TO in
struct the doctor TO talk to tia couu-
SEA. The court comp. ied partially
by telling the doctor that It would
be proper for him to talk with the
defendants' attorneys IL he had any
hacthhtion tuhb WOuhu throw any
light on the kiln,
The state objected and the doc
tor stood firm. The state suggest
ed that the defense swear the doctor
and put him on the stand. The de-
Tense resented the suggestion and
declared 1T would put no witness on
the stand without knowing to what
he would testify.
Then the states counsel made
tbs astounding proposition: That
Z the defense would pay the state
the cost Of the autopsy. inc udlng
DR.. Gasgow's fees, the state would
waive Its rights.
The defense finally bought the
goods In the bag" and DIR. Glasgow
became their witness.
