PACKET co. TO
 GET TWO BOATS

Little Rock, April Especial. = w. E. Ingram, an old riverman of this section who will be in charge of the two boats which will ply upon the upper Arkansas to barge coal and handle the freight of the Lit tie Rock Packet Co.,, which is ex- pected to lessen freight rates, is now in Menominee, Wis, prepar- ing the boats for their long trip to Arkansas. He left here Tuesday, taking with him several old river men who will make the trip back with the boats. The boats will be run down Green Bay to Fox River and thence to the canals which connect it with the Wisconsin riv- CT.
 Should conditions not be right the boats may have to be lowed all the way to the Wisconsin river. The boats are too long for the locks in the canal, and should the wa ter not be high enough to allow the boats to pass over the locks, as it usually is at this season of the year, the stern wheels will have to be removed and the boats lowed the entire length of the canal. From the Wisconsin river the boats will have no difficulty in reaching the Mississippi.
 Mir. Ingram is under contract to deliver the boats at the wharf of St. Louis by May 5. Should the boats reach St. Louis by that time a large delegation will probable go from here to meet them and make the balance of the journey on board. Should the boats reach St. Louis May 5, they should ar rive in Little Rock within a week later.

VOTES TO MOVE UNIVERSITY
Senate Passes Bill for Removal
 to Little Rock.
Many Arguments Offered in Favor of Bill House Works on Tax
 Revision

Little Rock, April Especial. When the whistles were blowing for six o'clock yesterday evening, the roll in the senate was called on the passage of the bill to move the University of Arkansas to Little Rock, and it passed, IA to 9. Sen ator Wingo, who opposed the bill, arose to point of order, claiming it took a two thirds majority to pass the bill, but his point was de- clared we'll taken, and the senate adjourned for the day. The after noon session was the most lengthy of any held this year, and also one of the most keenly contested points up for argument. Logan stated that Little Rock was after the ap. propriation deposit in Fayetteville. Senator Robertson said common sense would show the University should be moved to Little Rock. He said the removal of the Univer- sity would mean the foundation of a greater and larger institution. He also stated stated the climate here is better for students of all sec tions of the state than Fayetteville. Senator Henderson said that he was friend of the University, but it had outgrown Fayetteville, and Little Rock should have it, as it pays 50 times more taxes, and the people of Arkansas should not maintain a high school for Fayette- vile. Senator Wingo defended the management of the institution and stated city is not the place for University. Senator Dill stat ed the proposition to move the University is joke, and that of 69 state universities, only 9 are in capital cities. Senator Keel closed the argument, speaking at length, saying it was matter of business, and would mean combination of the literary, law and medical de- partments of the school.
 The vote was as follows. Aye Arnold, Bush, Edmondson, Glover, Henderson, Keel, Rasco, Patter- son, Robertson, Toney, Watson, Williams, Yopp and Mir. President II. Nay-Carlock, Dill, Fletch- CT, Freeman, Holland, Mckenzie, Rowland White and Wingo-o. DeRossitt and Logan, Montgomery and Green, Hamiter and Turner, Mcknight and Pindall, were pair ed, the former in each pair voting aye.
 All afternoon the house spent on the tax revision law proposed by Hurst of Washington, several lengthy speeches being made. The penitentiary committee reported in favor of having the penitentiary af- fairs handled by commission of six appointed by the governor to serve six years.

I er and father are at, right now.
They never think OF economy, but
must make a splurge and prop themselves
up on imaginary heights, and the whole
population seems to be getting around on
stills
1T is the curse of the time. It is in
the churches. Nobody tolerates the idea
iof a plain. comfortable church nowadays.
II has got to be a sumner, and then
screw big money out to pay for it. There
is a rivalry in everything like display, and
children dress finer TO go TO school than
they ever thought of doing to go any
where in my time.
They live for outside appearances, and
there is many a man whose nose is kept
to the grindstone all his life who could
have enjoyed living all right but for this
insane rivalry of other people. They are
! plunging along with their feet on stills,
and nine times out Of ten they will catch
more than one fall before they know
what is the matter with their silly selves.
The whole country is going wild on
spendthrift extravaganza, and the
chances are that stills will throw them.
and they will tumble down like a lot of
! playcards. / look for it; don't see how
, IL can be avoided.
| Perhaps there are those who will think
in these matters, but the majority OF
sans and sensible people will appreciate
/ his anxiety for the future.
| These rivalries are for display, not
solid comfort These luxuries are weak
eniag the existing generation. Nearly
every woman you hear discuss her own
health is an invalid II she hasn't had
an operation OF some sort, she is salts
fed the time is not far of, and she will
! talk about it as IL IT was fashionable to
I be under the care of doctors and trained
nurses, because that is the usual ar
rangement under these strenuous condi-
I tons.
II our old neighbOr mas said that this
rapid living not orly depleted the purse
/ but the health of the extravagant people
and consumed their vigor and vitality,
ne might have thus emphasized the pre-
vailibg Generalization which attends eX-
travagance as shown by its effect on the
health and vitality of the population.

ORPHEUM ACTORS
MINISTER TO DYING

The passengers on Southern train No.
s.. that was wrecked near Hardin. S. c.,
Monday morning at 2:45 o'clock, played
an important part in aiding the scalded
engineer and the passengers who were
badly frightened. The actors who are
playing at the Orpheum theatre this week
were passengers on the train and It was
their ministering to the soalded engineer
that kept him alive for several hours.
Miss Edna DOrman, who has had some
experience as a trained nurse, was res
cued from her sleeper when the crash
came and Immediately after dressing
went to the injured engineer and began
ministering to his needs. She stayed with
him steadily for six hours, this being
from the time of the accident until his
death at o'clock. The physician who
happened to be on the scene, unluckily
had only two rolls of bandages with him
and no medicine at all.
1t was the vaseline, powder and chemi-
Gals used in the makeup Of an actor that
was applied TO the engineers wounds and
stopped the pain. Miss Dorman applied
the medicine at hand with the proficiency
OF a physician, and though tired and
sleepy. she refused to leave the wounded
engineer until the end came.
Never in all my life have seen a
man cling to life as did Engineer O'Neal,
said Miss DOrmans aIter reaching lne city
Monday at noon. He was the most de-
termined injured man that 1 ever saw.
He seemed not to be in the least pain,
though of course he was, and did not ut
ter a word to show that he was suffering.
He talked to me like he was not hurt in
the least, until the end came"
I'VE did all in our power to make the
injured forget their hurts" said pretty
Miss Montrose. I'VE talked to them jok-
ed with them and would have acted for
them had we thought 1t would have done
them any good. The engineer was the
bravest man 1 ever saw. We used all of
our make up powder and paint in band
aging the engineer scalded arms and
body. Some think that the powder and
paint good for only actors faces, but il
proved different in this case, as it GER
tainly prolonged the engineers life."
After the engineer had been cared for,
Miss Montrose, Mrs. Frank Pier. of the
actors, and some unknown lady passen-
ger. started taking up collection for the
engineers family. over 800 was cheer
fully given by passengers and this was

Hottest February Day in Eight Years

Tuesday was the hottest February
day experienced in Atlanta since Feb
ruary 10. 1901, when the mercury
climpe up to rs, for on Tuesday 1t
went to 76. This comes within two
degrees of the highest temperature ever
recorded at the local weather station
in February, which was the day in Feb
ruary, 1901, referred to above.
Only once. barring February 10, 1901,
has the mercury ever gone as high in
February as on Tuesday, which was in
February, 1890, when it registered 76.
And it was no dry heat either, for the
humidity was much above 80 on Tues
day, as we'll as on Lhe two days pre-
ceding, causing one to have that clam
my, sticky feeling.
During only five Februaries out of the
thirty in which records have been kept
by the local office has there been more
rainfall for the whole month of Febru-
airy than has fallen during the past
twenty-three days of the present month.
I'D to date 7.7S OF rain has fallen here,
and the month has several days more
to come before its end. There have
been twelve rainy days out of the
twenty-three days OF the month that
have passed.
There is little danger of the record
for rain being broken in the present
month, however, for it is hardly posi-
BILE that in the remaining Few days
enough rain should fall to run the pres
ent amount up to the record, which is
a little more than 10 inches. The
present month is keeping up the I'M
usual heat record that has been kept
up during the present winter, in that
the average heat for the month is about
degrees above the normal.
This was also true at the close OF
November, December and January, each
of these months being several degrees
in fact, about 5-above the noraml in
point of heat These months were also
unusually dry. and February seems TO
be making up for their records in de-
ficiency of rain by furnishing several
inches more than the normal OF rain.
