4 BELABORED ATTACK.

The opposition to Governor Don- aghey has now dwindied to such an extent and his position has become so invulnerable that 1t IS only by plac- ing him in false position and then attacking that position that newspa- pers opposed to him are enabled to find an excuse to fight the governor. A typical example of this situation is seen in an editorial in the Benton Democrat, which says:
 "The threatened raise by the Don aghey tax commission has raised such a row among the taxpayers of Pulas- Xii county that the Board of Trade of Little Rock is thinking seriously of calling a tax convention to meet in that city for the purpose of devising ways and means to put quietus on the contemplated raise. They declare that Donaghey has caused the assess ment in that county to raise property values all out of proportion, and if allowed to stand will cause great hardship upon the poorer classes. This places the oath of property holders at naught as when he gives in his property for taxation he swears that it is worth just so much and if the commissioner or assessor raises that valuation they simply say to the world that he has lied and, 'f the court sustains the raise, then the property holder is subject to prosecu- tion for perjury. Donaghey has ard will cause the people of this state more trouble before his term expires than all the governors Arkansas ever had. It was sad da;, for the lap,f 'nr clas es when ey elected him to this high office. and it will be sd der one before they get, rid of him.
 Now, the Benton Democrat of course knows that the poorer classes" do not belong to the Little Rock Board of Trade. and that the assessments of none of these classes have been raised, nor have their taxes been increased It also knows that the state tax commissio has done nothing whatever in the assessment

 RAISES FINE FISH.

Green Forest, Sept. 1S.-George Sweeney is thinking of going into the fish business as he has discovered that they will grow rapidly when properly taken care of. Last April he secured a dozen German carp about two inches long and placed them in pond on his place. He has caught several of them lately, as the pond is low, and they average about a foot in length and weigh almost a pound.

 There is a number of small dailies in Arkansas, newspapers that are do- ing valiant service for the state and for the communities in which they are published, and not one of them is receiving more than it deserves in public patronage and words of en- agement.-Arkansas Gazette.

MAY MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

There has been much talk through out the country in regard to the em- ployment of children in the anthra- cite region and the amount of illit- eracy among them. Now Mrs. An nie F. Leisenring of Allentown, Pa, state deputy factory inspector, will try to find out how much truth there is in the reported large child labor employment. All children who seem to be too young will have 10 show birth certificates.

WOULD COOK WITH STEAM.

Miss Katherine l. Williams is one of the worlds authorities on the subject of cooking, and at meeting of chemists recently in London said that she was an opponent of veg etarianism because of her knowl- edge of the chemistry of cooking. The ideal way to cook, she says, is in the casserole, and steam instead of water should be used whenever possible.

DEATH PROVED INNOCENCE

The death of Frank Victor Sterck, a remanded prisoner in Brixton prison, London, the other day pathetically affords proofs of his innocence of the charge brought against him. He was found sitting on doorstep, and was arrested on suspicion of being burglar. He protested that he sat down because he felt ill. A bunch of keys and matches found on him appeared sus, piciou8, and the magistrate re. handed him.

HENEY WANTS CASH
FOR INJURED FEELING
stands For Tongue Lashings Until
Responsible Man Starts Some
thing, Then Asks Damages.

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-A formal
complaint in the libel damage suit of
Francis j. Heney against w. j. Crock
er, California millionaire, for $780,
600, were filed here today. Heney
says he based his action on an open
letter bearing Crocker's name which
appeared in a New York paper Dec.
3, in which Crocker defended his ac-
ton in first supporting Heney in the
san Francisco graft prosecution and
later Withdrawing his support.
Heney's counsel says Heney is de-
sirous of settling the question wheth-
er he conducted the prosecutions in an
honorable way or not I'm the heat
of a contest in San Francisco" said
Heney's counsel, many charges was
made by irresponsible men against
Heney, but when Croker assume ed
the responsibility for these charges
and gave the n wide circulation in a
respectable organ of public opinion
Heney felt his opportunity had come
to have jury of his fellow men de-
termine the accuracy of the charge
against him."

rancher on the reservation. Only the
immediate relatives and friends were
present. Rev. owen Umstead of the
Ahtanum church officated. The
neighborhood extends congratulations
The Christmas entertainment at
the Congregational church was
unique. Instead of a Christmas tree,
they had a forest. All along the
front platform there were trees, rep
resenting a colorado, the branches
trimmed high enough so that they
would not obscure the parties on the
program. There We're six of these
and their bushy tops interviewer
Then at the back of the rostrum sew
eral large trees lifted their tops to
the high ceiling above, then one very
large tree at one end which was the
main attraction In the main center
hung a picture of Christ and above

there measure up a cord of wood.
like a fellow with business instinct
enough to get the top price for his
goods, but when 1t comes to making
it both ways | pass. l have been
within sight of that rick for several
days now and 1 have learned where
not to buy firewood. 1 only regret
that there is no way apparently, of
dealing with such people.
See the way he does it. A long
piece put in slantwise at each end Of
the rick so as to reduce the width at
the bottom materially by cutting out
two substantial triangles. Now watch
him at the top. Well he hardly makes
it and there goes the top layer off on
this side and the BALM on the other.
The buyer gets what is on the other
side and the quantity saved by the
short measurement and that stolen
off the top are the rake-off for the
seller in addition to his profit.
81 got into the game little myself
today. You see | bought a cord of
four foot stuff and had 1t piled up
outside. / have complained to the
police and asked them to ascertain
who is the person to take the official
measurement when complaint Is
made. | propose to have that pile
measured by some one in authority
and thus determine whether this bust
ness, in this particular instance, can
be kept up.
THAT New York scale was a great
proposition with regard to short
changing customers, but we in the
west are also progressive people

WOMAN SAVES LIFE
BY SITTING ON TRACK
Gets Nice Ride on Fender Instead of
Death Jolt and
Demise.

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 27.--To her
rare presence of mind Mrs. l.. j. La
boron, aged rs years, owes her life
today. Mrs. Laberon was crossing
Broadway when Grand avenue car
bore down upon her. In the crush
of street traffic it was impossible for
her to escape.
Hundreds of Christmas shoppers
Gazed horror-stricken, expecting to
see the agen woman ground to death
beneath the wheels. Mrs. Laberon
calmly sat down an instant before the
fender struck her ankles. She was
tossed back against the screen, still
sitting upright, and thus she remained
gazing benignly about until a badly
frightened motorman brought the car
to a standstill.
Then Mrs. Laberon was assisted to
her feet. She was not even bruised.
II realized that If l sat down and
raised my feet l would not be hurt"
said Mrs. Laberon, after the unusual
experience. II suppose most women
would have been excited, but | was
not. It was fun riding on the fender,
but l would not like to repeat l. too
often"

ported.

worked south ana east to the river at
the outlet of the canal. About forty
five of the pests were killed at the
drive on Saturday. on the engage

soda is left on each peice of fruit as
memento of its trip through the
cannery.
Caustic soda strong enough to eat
away the skin of an unripe peach
must be anything but soothing to the
inner man or child. The full signfi-
canoe of this is best understood in
connection with the fact that caustic
soda is use in aSing many kinds of
soap; in fast, IL is the dirt eating part
of soap.
1t is aid that the f.reat majority of
the car 1eries use tie I've process in
place of the fe-peeling method. At
tempts have been made for sometime
to get the Department of Agriculture
to make rulhig on this question
which would compel the Gamers who
use this method to say so on the la
bells of their goods. 1t looks now as
if the question will be passed up to
congress for a specific law covering
this phase of the pure food agitation.
The use of caustic soda is impossible
with ripe fruit because it discolors
a ripe peach so that it will not pass
muster with the users of high grade
canned fruits. In consequence this
process is possible only with unripe
fruit and green fruit is purposely
gathered for canning.
Owing to the absence of any marks
on the cans to indicate the use of
caustic soda, the only way the GUS
toner can tell If he has purchased
La lye-process can of fruit is by taste.
Open can of peaches, wash away the
syrup from a piece of the fruit. Then
taste 1t. If it is void of flavor, woody
and puHy, and has a soapy appear
ance it is undoubtedly the lye-peeled
variety.
