MONEY FOR FORESTRY WORK.
Arkansas is One of Few States in
 Which Large Tracts are Found.

Little Rock-The forestry depart ment of the United States govern ment will spend S46,562 on the for ests of the state of Arkansas between now and June 30, 1910. This infor- nation has been made public in a brochure just issued by Guifford Pin chot, chief of the Forest Service.
 The booklet calls attention to the fact that Arkansas is one of the few states in the union which still have large areas of virgin timber.
 In regard to the appropriation for the two forests in Arkansas, it is stated that the government will eX- pend $21, ,064 on he Arkansas forest, in the administration, and S4,75S in building roads, trails, telephone lines and quarters. In the administration of the Ozark forest the fees will to- tai $16,940, while $4,400 will be spent for permanent improvements.
 A new rule has been made re- garding dead timber It may be re- moved from the forest if actually needed for domestic use without first OpCdihlHS pSl ullI llADCi SO eeb- ken may not be sold.
 Persons residing in the Arkansas forests who may have complaints or who do not understand the regula- tions, may apply to the supervisor at Mena for redress or information, and those residing in the Ozark forests should likewise apply to the super visor at Harrison.
 Relative to grazing privileges the instructions say:
 People residing in or very near the forest who own not more than 20 head of cattle or horses, or an equivalent number of hogs or sheep. and goats in the ratio of two hogs and three goats for one COW or horse, may graze their stock free of charge. A further allowance will be made by tha. supervisors when the permittee oVNs unfenced patented land within 3 forest. Non resi- dents who do not own or lease land within the forest will be required to pay grazing fees, and will not be al lowed in the forest where the range is fully stocked.

MINERS IN FIRE TRAP
NEARLY FOUR HUNDRED MEN ENTOMBED AT CHERRY, ILL. Relatives of Men Who are Slowly Suffocating to Death Crowd
 About Smoking Shaft.

Cherry, Ill.-Nearly 400 men and boys are believed entombed alive in the lower levels of the St. Paul coal mine at this place. Experts succeed ed in penetrating the smoke-belching shafts to a depth of 300 feet, there was little hope held out for the grief stricken relatives who crowd day and night about the mouth of the tomb, waiting and watching for a single sign of encouragement from the unfortunate men below.
 Since the fire started in the mine last Saturday afternoon, the whole community has been under the stress and strain which a catastro- phe of this kind alone can bring. The St. Paul mine is owned by the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railway, and nearly the entire male population of the town worked in the recesses of the earth ..

IMPORTANT ELECTION CASE.
Writ of Mandamus Questioned by One of the Litiaants.

S'S VI eiS .'stS~'eSs
 Power of Circuit Courts Over Elec-
 tion Contests Questioned.
 In order that the supreme court should determine the question as to the jurisdiction of circuit courts to require a recount of the votes cast in an election for state senators, the response of the Sebastian County Election Commissioners to the mo- tion of Thomas Boles to dismiss the appeal in the case of Boles against the Sebastian County Commissioners was presented to that tribunal.
 The ground on which Boles asked for dismissal of the case was that the order of the Sebastian Circuit Court for writ of mandamus di- recting the election commissioners to recount the votes in certain wards and townships in Sebastian County, cast in the Twenty-eighth district at the election held September 4, 1908, had been superseded before the order of the court nas been compiled with, the Senate having declared Holland entitled to the seat. On this account, Boles, the Republican contestant, contends that the question presents no real controversy, and that the appeal should be dismissed.
 The Sebastian County Election Commissioners, who are the appel lants in the case, raise the follow ing questions to prevent the dismis- sal of the case, and have asked the supeme court to pass upon them:
 Have circuit courts jurisdiction to issue a writ of mandamus to con trol or cause a recount of the cleo tion returns of state senatorial cleo tions?
 Have they jurisdiction to issue such writ after the certificate has been issued to the person whom the returns how to be elected?
 Have circuit courts the power to grant writs of mandamus to compel the performance of ministerial acts after they have been performed as required by law?
 Have circuit courts the legal pow CT to issue writs of mandamus to obtain proof to be used in a sena- torial contest?
 Gan the process of the writ of mandamus be used as means to aid and assist, and as an auxiliary to pending proceedings contesting d state senatorial election?

STATE HELPS PAY TAXES.
Resolution to That Effect Adopted by
 Penitentiarv Board.

Resolution to That Effect Accepted py
 Penitentiary Board.
 The penitentiary board adopted q resolution declaring that it is in fa- vor of paying pro rata share of the annual tax of the I4inwood and Au- burn Levee District for the revet- ment work at Cummins and for the maintenance of a levee at the state farm. based upon the acreage of the faYa It the same rate of taxation as maintained on other property in the district.
 During the discussion of the levee situation Gov Donaghey stated, that if it were feasible to secure S1.50 a day for the convicts for an indefi- mite period it would probably bs well to hire out the convicts and abandon the farm.
 Com'r. Tucker suggested that rice might be grown on the farm at q greater profit than cotton, arguing that rice could be produced for about S1O per acre, which is great deal Jess than it costs to grow cotton.
 Attorney General Norwood and Au- ditor lobe were of the opinion that the present method of operating the farm is best, while Secretary of State Ludwig suggested that later on the wardens might be placed in charge of separate tracts, and prizes be giv- en for the best results.
 This discussion was carried on i'll a purely informal manner, and while no official action was taken by the board, it is reasonably certain thas bme changes will be made soon

federste veteran ard a friend of the
family, who arrived in the home OF
the Hsmletis yesterday, was among the
victims. At 8 O'Clock 10 the morning
the family noticed the smoke in the
house, according to those who escaped
the flames. The members Of the house
hold were aroused from sleep and we're
panic stricken.
One OF the children, boy, was thrown
bodily from window. The child fel
two stories to the ground and both arms
were broken. He was internally in
iured and will no doubt die.
The local fire department Was sum-
moned, bat could render little help
as the flames had already consumed the
better part of the dwelling. When it
was known that six inmates Of the
home had not escaped, heroic efforts
were made to rescue the old man and
the children, but without avail.
Strange was unable to take care Of
himself. He came to South Boston to
attend the celebration of the Fourth,
which had been largely advertised. The
smoke filled the home and Hamlet WAS
awakened. With his wife and two Of

that the flames licked upward and the

ton for the thirteenth deceunisl deril

will appeal to President Tat to i've

be employed iD districts sOnth of Mason
and Dixon's line. Representatives OF

they have little hope OF preventing The
EMPLOYMENT of negroes unless the presi-
dent iuterferes. The fact that admis-

eaumerators, white or black, who hold
government commissions to gather
statistics, serves to aggravsts The situa-
ton. II is for this reason that the
minority has decided to appeal to the

THE FREE TRADERS.

Prominent free traders have issued an
appeal to all persons in the United
States who agree with them to join in
organizing great free trade party, to
prove that the nation is not utterly
given over to the protection policy, even
ii it sccomplishes nothing more.
"The apparent acceptance in some
degree of the so-cslled protective policy
by the present congressional representa-
tives of both political parties might be-
get the impression that our nation con.
tsius 90 men who believe in the absO-
lute and unconditional freedom of trade
between the peoples of the earth" they
declare.
Combating such an impression, the
sigueTs of the call srraigu protection a
being responsible for most of the ills Of
present government. Protection, "
they assert, "hss not only become the
mother of trusts, bat, by sitting foreign
competition, has granted them license
to prey upon the community"
Iustesd of bettering the condition Of
the laboriug CLASSES, they charge, pro-
lection ltsseus the demand for labor and
leads to 3 consequent reduction of wages,
greatly increases the cost Of necessaties
sud thus becomes a powerful agent in
dragging down the condition of the
wage earning classes.
Protection is held responsible for
swollen fortunes and has become so
powerful, they assert, that "it csu never
be dislodged until the great body of 0u'
people are brought to realize it's wsslful,
sinful. anti.sOcial character"
