Assessors Arc Abroad

Little Rock,-The new State Tax Commission has now started it's first actual work by taking up the assess ment of railroads, the county asses sors over the state at the same time start out on their rounds. They will spend all of June making the assess ments and will then take up the mat ter of assessing delinquents who have failed to turn in their property It is generally believed that the asses sors will assess all property at a high CT valuation than ever heretofore, as the result of the creation of the new commission and the joint conference of the assessors and commission held here last week. Although the asses sors did not agree to assess property at its full value it is generally be- lieved that they will raise the basis of valuation of property considerably and that they will also put forth un- usual efforts to assess property not now on the tax books.

HARD QUESTION TO ANSWER
Simple Interrogation That Put Accus- ing Professor in Rather
 Tight Place.

The following story which leaked out of Yale faculty meeting is also typical of Waterloo" Wheeler. The case of a fast student was before the faculty. Though the Yale principle is to meddle as little as possible with the life and morals of the student, in- sisting merely on the rule, keep good scholarship stand and be regular in attendance, still fragrant cases of misconduct are summarily disposed of. The student in question had been seen in tfse company of woman of rather poor reputation and there was question of dismissal Lest he be wrongfully sentenced the cautious Prof. Ladd, the philosopher, had in- quired, Was the young man positive ly identified ?" Oh, yes, the professor knew the man we'll; there could be no mistake about it. Then Prof Wheeler looked up quizzically, tapped his spec tacles against the fingers of his left hand, characteristic gesture and in- quired: And can the professor also positively identify the other party?"- Bohemian Magazine.

NEW CHANNEL
 FOR RIVER

Douglass.-By eating it's way through a narrow neck of land, mak- Ing new channel and rushing through it with great force, so fast in fact that within an hour after the wa ter had passed over it's new course a fall of two feet was recorded at Han- naberry, a short distance away, the Arkansas river made a cutoff at this place, leaving the town three miles in land. The cutoff has been threatened for several years. The new channel is already $40 feet wide, and the neck of ground through which the river passed was up to a short time ago 1 ,750 feet wide. The caving of the bank on the Horseshoe, near Doug lass, permitted the change of channel, and river men say that big steam boats will soon be able to pass through it. The main current of the river is now rushing through the new opening. It will be necessary hereaf- ter to haul freight from Douglass to steamboats, which formerly made landings at that place. Douglass is in the northeastern part of Lincoln county and almost on the Desha coun- ty line.

Confidence Man Makes Escape.

Ashdown.-News of the escape of John Studstill, the young financier of Berien county, Georgia, who is want ed here and at other places on the charge of forgery, was received here with interest. As yet thcre are no new developments in the situation here as the result of Studstill's recent visit He came here several weeks ago and remained a week In that time he deposited checks with the To- cal banks, the Arkansas Trust and Bank Company and the Little River County Bank. The checks were on banks at his home and amounted to about S4,000. They were found to be worthless afterward. On the strength of those deposits Studstill bought farm for S5,000, for which he gave a check alleged to be bogus, and was given about S70 in cash by the two banks and cashiers certificates for S3,000 by the Arkansas Trust and Banking Company. AS yet no reports have been received to the effect that any of the cashiers certificates were cashed anywhere.

 pare all kinds of fruits and vegeta- bles for exhibition purposes. This section is noted for it's excellent fruit.

Deacon Tests Liquor and Wins.

Jackson, Miss, June s.-The Su- preme Court of this state has decided that any beverage which will make a church deacon drunk is subject to taxation under the internal revenue laws. At Magee, a little town in Simpson county, man named Berry sold cider which became so popular and was accompanied by such hilarity on the part of the drinker that the notice of church people and prohibit tionists was attracted. The attention of the revenue agent was also enlist ed. When Berry refused to pay a tax, the church delegated Deacon Gray, one of the most staid patri- archs, to drink of it until he was sat isfied that it was an alcoholic bever- age or harmless. The deacon par took freely and finally emerged from the refreshment parlor highly hila- rious and quite unsteady on his staid old legs. Berry carried the case to the Supreme Court, which in it's de- cision took particular note of the
 effects of the drink on Deacon Gray.

SCRIP BROKERS
 SECURE LEMON

Hot Springs.-Scrip brokers in Hot Springs, who have been buying jury certificates on the basis of time earn ed at S3 per day, as provided for un- der the Wilmington act, passed by the recent legislature, find they have been paying more for the cer- tifeates than they are worth, the law not being effective when they were purchased. The bill increasing jury fees to S3 per day was passed by the legislature about seven weeks ago, but was only recently signed by the governor Alter the passage of the bill Hot Springs brokers presumed it was effective and commenced paying on the S3 basis rate. whereas the ju- TOTS were not entitled to but $2 per day. All the brokers paid more for the jurors certificates than they could receive for the scrip if redeemed at its face value.

EXCURSION STEAMER ACCIDENT Many Drowned When Pier Gives Away-AlI New Orleans Resi-
 dents.

Vaudeville, La, June S.-Yesterday Il bodies had been recovered from the waters of Lake Pontehartrain at the scene of disastrous collapse of a small pier, upon which scores of excursionists had crowded to board the steamer aMrgaret, about to return to New Orleans. As far as can be learned no other persons are missing, but searching parties continued to drag the lake all day. A list of the dead shows that all of the victims were residents of New Orleans. It is as follows: Lizzie LotZ, aged 15; Ma rie Goetein, aged IS; Kathleen Goe- tein, aged 20; Laura Ray. aged IS; Alice Chopin, aged 16 months; Lizzie Everaardt, aged nine; Eugenie Pabst, aged 13; Mrs. c. F. Eyerhardt, aged 34; Mrs. Charles Bruno. aged 25; John T. Bruner, aged three years and six months; Mamie Pazos. aged 3S.
 The responsibility for the catastre- phe has not been fixed, but a rigid inquiry has been instituted by the au- thorities of St. Tammany parish, in
 
 New Orleans, where the company which owns the Margaret is domiciled, and where Capt. William NJ. Neihysel, the boats master, took out his li- cense as a pilot. The Pontchartra1n Transportation Company, which owns the vessel, denied all responsibility for the accident. They declared that the wharf gave way under the weight of the large number of people upon it. There appears to be considerable doubt as to why the Margaret landed at the pier instead of going to the larger one, where it was accustomed to touch. Captain Neihysel stated that he was directed by the committee of the Benevolent Knights of America, in charge of the excursion, to land at the smaller pier. This committee denies this.

Old Negro Saves Family and Dies.

to save others, Bill Crabtree, an aged negro, burned to death here a few days ago in the fire which destroyed the two-story dwelling house occupied by Mrs. w. A. Poynter. After saving all of the children in the house, the negro went back to the burning home to secure some clothing and personal effects. He was overcome by the smoke and was buried beneath a pile of burning timbers. Crabtree, who lived with the family all his life, first raised the alarm that the house was on fire, so that, in a sense, he saved the entire family, possibly, from a burning grave.

Arkansas Must Have Been Killed

Jonesboro.-C. P. Poe of Jonesboro was found dead at Memphis under circumstances which puzzle the po- lice who have wired to his former home in hopes of finding some theory. The Arkansan was thought to have used earbolic acid to end his life. He was picked up in the rear of 423 Main street. Although apparently a man of means, nothing is known of Poe The body is being held await ing developments. Information from the dead mans wife and friends at Jonesboro alarmed the local police, who, after a more thorough examina- tion, with assistance from an under taker, discovered that little trace of carbolic acid appeared about the mans mouth. The coroner may order an autopsy on suspicion of foul play although Poe's relatives say he had no more than s25 when he left Jones' boro. They can advance no theory for suicide.

Throwing Kisses Not an Art.

No one needs instructions in the hurting of kisses. We assume that the ladies and gentlemen clad in ab- breviated garments in the stone age needed none. Surely, their successors are none the less enterprising. Throw ing kisses and catching them, if we be pardoned for frivolity, are natural and involuntary arts, such as breath ing and walking. Expertness doesn't matter; it's all the spirit in which they are rojected.-Atlanta Consti- tutiOn

MAKING SUNSHINE 1t Is Often Found in Pure Food.

The improper selection of food drives many a healthy person into the depths of despairing illness. Indeed, much sickness comes from wrong food and just so surely as that is the case right food will make the sun shine once more.
 An old veteran of Newburyport, Mass, says: "In October, was taken sick and went to bed, losing AZ pounds in about 60 days. I had doctor after doctor, food hurt me and I had to live almost entirely on magnesia and soda. All solid food distressed me so that water would run out of my mouth in little streams.
 'I had terrible night sweats, and my doctor finally said I had consumption and must die. My good wife gave up all hope. We were at Old Orchard, Me, at that time and my wife saw Grape-Nuts in a grocery there She bought some and persuaded me to try it.
 'I had no faith in it, but took it to please her. To my surprise it did not
  and before I had taken the fifth pack age I was we'll on the mend The pains left my head, my mind became clearer and I gained weight rapidly.
 T went back to my work again and now after six weeks use of the food I am better and stronger than ever be- fore in my life. Grape-Nuts surely saved my life and made me a strong hearty man, 15 pounds heavier than before I was taken i'll. ! Both my good wife and I are will ing to make affidavit to the truth of this"
