It is understood the saloon keepers who have been driven from that city will operate across the river in Arkansas, and for that reason the government licenses were secured.

Hot Springs, July I.-Harvey Meyers succeeded w. Scott Smith as superintendent of the Hot Springs reservation today. Mir. Meyers has been register of the land office at Little Rock for some time, but accepted the position as superintendent to prevent the office being given to a party out side of the state. There las been a great deal of discussion in regard to the successor of MT. Smith. Many citizens of Hot Springs were anxious to have Martin A.

 MT. Meyers received the en- dorsement of the state Republican machine for the appointment some time ago at conference ill Little Rock after the secretary of the in- terior at Washington had objected to even a man from this state be ing given the job. A compromise was then reached, it is stated, through the efforts of President Taft.

45 CIVIL CASES DOCKETED
Many Suits Set for Trial at the
 July Circuit Court.
Big Railway Damage Suits Brought by Outside Parties Expected to Take
 up Much Time.

Although the criminal docket of the July term of the Faulkner cir cult court is one of the lightest in the history of the county, the op- posite is true of the civil docket. Forty five suits have been set for trial by Circuit Clerk A. M. Led better, among which are some very important cases, and unless a large portion of them are contin- ued, the session of court will be a long one.
 Damage suits against the St. Louis, Iron Mountain X Southern Railway Co. filed by Little Rock attorneys for plaintiffs living out side of the county and for alleged causes of action occurring in other counties, are largely responsible for the length of the civil docket at this term. The cases involve all aggregate claim for damages amounting to about SI5o, GOO, there being two cases alone in which total of $Ioo, GOO is asked from the railway company. While the costs Ill these outside cases must be borne by the parties, the county will have to pay the per diem of all the jurors who are in service during the trial of the

Receipts With Tickets.

Station Agent J. w. James to day began to give receipt with each passenger ticket purchased at this station. This is in conformi ty with a general order issued GOV ering all the Gould lines. For several months after the two-cent rate was enjoined the agents were required to take the names of each passenger to whom ticket was sold, but this practice will now be discontinued. Other Arkan- sas roads, it is stated, have been issuing receipts with tickets ever since the injunction was granted.
