ONE COUNTY TO ADVANCE
Judge of Franklin Takes Steps to Build Good Roads-Road 0verseers
 Must Get Busy.

Ozark, April 2l.-If Frauklin county doesn't get a system oi good roads it won't be the fault of county judge w. c. Stockton. He hasn't waited for the tax payers to call a good roads cor vention and appeal to the court tor aid, bu, presided over meet ing which he himself called.
 The first day of county court was devoted to good roads boost ing, while the reports of road oyerseers were passed upon.
 Before taking up matters per ta;uinp to road building in his court, the judge and the good road enthusiasts assembled heard papers on phases of road build ing, and witnessed practical demonstration of the efficiency oi the splitlog drag by Overseer Terry Morris of Alex township, who boasts of having built the hest roads in the county.
 Not only must the road over, seers give heed to the good road measures, but each was expected to giye an explanation as to why tbe roads in his district were not good. "Wby Have l Not a ,4ood Roa ad?" is the general topic, all discuss. q in ten-minute talks, ;,

AUTOMATIC GUN
 GETS THREE MEN
Scattered Nine Bullets Among Prin- cipals and Innocent Bystanders Who Tried to Save
 Bloodshed.

Hot Springs, April 21.-The innocent bystander got his, plen- tifully, in a club room here yesterday.
 R. s. Tanner, manager of the club room, and c. o. Billmeyer, local restaurant keeper, quar- reled, and got into a scuffi [. Tanner, 1t is alleged, drew au automatic revolver, one of the modern pattern which keeps on shooting with much rapidity by a simple pressure of the finger to the trigger spring.
 It was at this junciure that the innocent bystander broke into the game, and fearing bloodshed they started in to do the heroic life saving act. They seized the pistol before Tanner had a chance to fire, and grappled with him for possession of It.
 As soon as the gun felt bunch of fingers pressing on it's trigger spring 1t got automatically to work, thus living up to it's ad- vertised qualities.
 Bullets began to circulate around with the utmost impar- tiality, finding Judgement in legs of chairs, of tables, and of peo- pie without determination.
 The new-fangled gun held nine bullets and they ali got away be- fore the firing ceased.
 An inventory of the casualitics showed that the innocent by islanders, Dick Truax and K. H. McGrath, were shot iu the legs.
 Contrary to precedent, as bull lets rarely hit the principals to the trouble when innocent by islanders are in range, Billmeyer also caught a bullet in the leg.
 The three wounded men only received flesh wounds. Billmeyer and Tanner were arrested.

MRS. CJ STEYER MISSING
Left Home of Her Parents. MT. and Mrs. Wm. Hoffman Last Monday Friends in
 Mena.

Ft. Smith, April 22.-Mrs. c. J. Steyer, daughter of MT. and Mrs. William Hoffman, GO North Eleventh street, has been missing from her home since Monday af- ternoon at l:30 o'clock.
 She was married to the Rev. !C. J. Steyer of Crockotts Bluff, Ark, in Nov. 1907, but on ac- count of dissatisfaction with her new home and homesickness she has been living with her parents since last August.
 Lately her husband decided to resign his position in Crocketts Bluff and come to live with his wife in Fort Smith, where life would be more agreeable to her. Of this decision of her husband however, she was misinformed. She labored under the impression that he would come to Fort Smith Monday afternoon in order to take her to Crocketts Bluff. The consequence was that she left her parents home Monday al 1 80 D. m., saying that she was going down town to do some shopping. When she did not re turn in the evening her parents were very much alarmed. They visited and telephored their friends and relatives in the city and telegraphed those Tn Mena, Muskogee and St. Louis, but their daughter had not been seen by any of them.
 Mrs. Steyer is brunette, hav- ing black hair, black eyes and dark skin. She is about five feet and 6 inches tall. When she left home she was dressed in a grey woolen skirt, white shirt waist and tan coat and wore a blAck hat and carried an um brella. Any information as to her where abouts would be appreciated by her parents aud friends.

NOCAPITOL CONTRACT NOW

Little Rock, April 2l.-The Patterson state capitol bill was signed by Governor George w. Donaghey yesterday morning and is now law. Under its provis- ions there is now no state capitol contact, the firm of Caldwell & Drake are no longer the state capitol contractors, George K. Mann is no longer the capitol ar chitect, and the capitol commis- sioners are no longer on the com mission-in fact, under the law, there is no commission. contractor or architect.
 What the next step will be is a matter of great interest. Will the capitol contractors, conlmis- sioners and architect submit to the new law, which declares them discharged, or will they contest in the courts ? Will they agre. to the decision of the board of arbi iuation created by the law as to the matter of financial settle ment with the state ? Will the three well known judges of Ar kansas, named in the law to com prise the board, serve /? These are only few oT the many ques- tions that are being put on every side, and from nowhere comes a definite answer.

ARKANSAS CATTLE
 TICKS IINMOLESTED
celfishness of a Few Senators Defeated Appropriation That Would Have Resulted in Great Good to
 State Medical Bill.

Little Rock. April 2l.-The stste refused to join the feaerdl government in the work of eradi- eating the cattle fever tick from Arkansas, by defea ing, yesterday afternoon, the bill by Senators Rowland aud Henderson pruvid- ing for he appropriation of S2o,- 900 for the purpose of ex.ending sou,hward the quarantine line now maintained against the fever nest among cattle. The bill did mt fail to find favor, however, and much favor at that, as shown by the final vote of 5z to 35, indi- eating a large m jority in favor ot the measure. But as appro. nriation bills require two-thirds majority, the speaker declared the bill lost. Among the strong est champions of tho measure were Messrs. Oliphant and Combs who insisted that the eradication of the cattle tick would increase the market valuation of the cat tle of the state by several million dollars, and that by cooperation with the federal government in gradually extending the quaran tine limit southward, the state would, within a few years, entire ly eliminate the tick. Messrs. McCrackin, Clerget, Smith and others opposed the measure, urg- ing tkat it would not benefit their counties directly.
 The federal government, it was stated, is now spending quarter of million dollars annually 10 eradicate the cattle fever, but ex. poets the states affected to co-op- crate.
 Bill Governing Medical Practice.
 Just before adjournment the house passed an important meas- ure regulating the practice of medicine and surgery in this state as regards the examination of applicants for admission to practice. It now lacks only the approval of the governor 10 make it law. IL provides for the three regulation state medical boards, the eclectic, the homeopathic and the regular board of the Afkar- sas medical society. The first two boards are to examine appli- cants who are graduates ot their respective schools, and the last examines al. other applicants. The examination fee is advanced to SIS, and the meetings are to be held semi annually instead of quarterly, as heretofore. A very important feature of the bill, in fact the feature that has had the most cordial endorsement of ali the state medical associations, s that providing for reciprocity in the recognition of admission to practice by state medical boards of other states. A graduate of either medica. school, regularly admitted to practice by the state medical board of another state will be admitted to practice in this state without further exami- nation, and the same courtesies will be extended physicians ad- mitted to practice by tbe boards of this state.

HIRE UNION MEN
 OR SELL THE MINE
Charcellor Bourland Instructs Receiver Young of the Hiawatha SmOkeless Coal Company to Operate
 With Union Men.

Fort Smith, April 22.-Judge J. V. Bourland issued an order of court here yesterday that is prol : ably without precedent. In ap- pointing K. A. Young receiver of the Hiawatha Smokeless Coal Company of Coaldale, Ark, he ordered that the receiver either employ none but union men, or else sell it.
 Will Favor Unionists. Judge Bourland is judge of the chancery court, and at banquet of the Arkansas State Federation of Labor here some months ago he stated that he would never grant an injunction against a labor union in the interest of a corporation, adding that this might be treason, but it was his belief that injunctions have too frequently op-rated for the em- ployers' benefit, rather than in the interest of justice.
 Today was the first opportunity that the judge has had in which to take stand on the labor ques- tior, and while the failure of the mine to make profit under the present management was not due entirely to labor trouble, his or der to the receiver puts it up to him to either operate the mine vi ith union labor or sell 1t. The mine is a valuable one and has it's general offices in Little Rock.

CONVICT LEASE
 SYSTEM SCORED
While House Favored it by Vote of S7 to B. Many Representatives Fought Hard for Its
 Fabrication.

Little Rock, April 22.-The house devoted most of yesterday to fighting over the Joint Penl- tentiary Commlttee bill, which provides for drastic charges in the manner of management and control of the state cunyicts, and which also provides that the con vets shall be leased again if the management sets fit to do so. An amendment by MT. Parks of Lafayette providing that the eonvicts shall only be worked on the state farm and publiroads, killing the bill's provision to the effect that ielsing Of the convicts shall continue, was lost by a vote oi B to 57.
 The light against the lease system, though lost, was bitter. Representative Kerwiu of Jeffer. son, asked:
 What, in the name of God, is there behind and around this in- iqnitous convict lease system that imrels its defenders aud abettors to lobby night and day to perpei- uate It upon the re pie of Arkan- sas?' Throughout Arkansas, the people have been for years, and are now, demanding that the legislature wipe out this infamy which has dirgraced the state for many years. We work convicts upon the public roads and on the state farm, with profits 10 the tax payers. Our convicts can produce on the farm annually about three million pounds of cot ton, which would bring the state about $275, 900. The couvicts should be made to work, but not to enrich interruptions contract ors."
 Representative Parks of La fayette, exclaimed:
 ''I will never cast my vote for bill that bsrtcrs the blood of a human being, even though 1t be that of a convict"
 From the lips of Representa- tive Newton of Lonoke, came a condemnation of Arkansas shame as he declared:
 "This damuable convict lease system must cease"
 Representative Clerget of Con way, expressed his contempt foi the convict lease system when hf said in his speech:
 "Convicts though they be, they must be given humane treatment. I condemn the hiring of our peni. tentiary wards to brutal contract. ors, who, when conyicts become ill, pray for their quick death as being cheaper than supplying them with nurses and kind treat ment. The revenue received from convicts leased out by the state is blood money, and the people have decreed against it's perpetuity."
