THE RUTHERFORD ROAD.

IL is stated through the Pine Bluff papers that the work of surveying the line of railroad. the Arkansas, Texas X Oklahoma. known as the Ruther- ford road. from Pine Bluff to either Carthage or Leola, was commenced last Tuesday It is not yet definite ly given out hy the Hon. John F, Rutherford as to which point he will connect his road with the Rock Is- land.
 While from our view point it seems that I.eola is the most desirable place for the connection, and also while the people of this section and larg, scope Gf country west. are anxious tc nave the road come here. that the1 may have easy and direct railroad facilities into and ont of Pine Bluff Vel Mr. Rutherford, who is and vii be we'll equipped with the situation may take a ditferentview of the mat ter.

Leola and Carthage are both young towns, only having sprnng in- to existence with the construction oi the Rock Island in 1904.

PROF. WHEELER ENDS HIS LIFE
Former kansan Takes Poison and Dies on Campus of University Of
 Illinois at Champaign.

Champaign, H., Nov. 20.-Mixing the fatal dose which ended his life. Prof. Wilfred c. Wheeler of the Uni verstty of Illinois, walked to the cam pus of the college and took the poison A short time later attehes found his body stretched In death, while nearby was found little vial, empty. Colleagues of Prof Wheeler in the de. partment of chemistry have the vial for the purpose of analyzing the pois- on. As one of the experts in chemis- try, Prof. Wheeler was an adept with poisons. It is believed that he selected a drug that would quickly kill and leave little trace. That Wheeler wal moody and evidently under a mental stress has been known by his asso- ciates on the faculty for some time, but whatever the cause he kept it secret.
 Wheeler was only about 30 years old and had fame and an excellent posi- ton. He came here from Lawrence Kan. where he was teacher in the University of Kansas. Mrs. Wheeler is prostratsd and unable to talk coher ently.

But the result Is to give the average young woman one sees on Broadway or Fifth avenue an eff feet of nwholesomeness-a ghastliness in fact--that is decidedly unpleasant. Of course, the observer only has time to note that it is the lower part of these girls faces that is unadorned with this deathlike mask.

New Kind of Tape Measurs.

Tape measures are so useful and in dispensable to the dressmaker in their present form that 1t would seem as if 1t were impossible to improve on their construction. Yet this has been very easily accomplished in a tape meas. ure recently patented by New York man. A short piece of flexible. springy material is combined with the end of the limb tape measure. The end is thus made self-supporting. The value of thus having small portion of the end of the tape measure stifr and nnbendable will be apparent where small measurements are to be made: the necessity of holding the end of the tape measure is eliminated The measuring can also be accom-. plished much more quickly and with accuracy impossible in a imp tape measure. where small meas urements are made.

ANOTHER ANNEXATION
ELECTION IS CALLED
BELMONT HEIGHTS TRUSTEES
TAKE ACTION
Description of Shoestring Strip Is
Corrected and November II
Set as Date for Voting
on Question
Lsnscia1 TO The herald. ]

LONG BEACH, oct. 19.-The Bel
mont Heights trustees turned another
trick last night when they called an
other election on the annexation of
The same shoeString strip as would
have been voted on today had not the
Belmont city attorney stipulated that
the election be called of yesterday
morning, after Long Beach interests
had filed an injunction suit 10 stop 1t.
1t was believed yesterday the Bel
mont officials might repeat the call.
Mayor Bassett and Trustees Nande-
Venter and Gourd attended the meet
ing called for last night and made the
call, setting November II as the date.
This is eight days after the election
on the consolidation of Long Beach
and Belmont. Those officials who
voted to call the election last night
believe the consolidation project will
be voted down. Others in Belmont
say, however. the election will carry
by a majority of two to one. If the
election does carry the election called
last night cannot be held.
Trustees Ray and Ringheim, who
are known to favor consolidation, were
not at last night nights meeting. Bills
for street work. amounting to about
$500, were ordered paid. These bills
had been held up at previous meet
ings.
The Belmont officials yesterday morn
ing decided to abandon the proceed
ings looking to a similar election set
for today, claiming a discovery of an
error in the descriptions as the reason.
The descriptions, it is said, were cor
rected last night and a little more ter
ritory included.

OCEAN PARK NOTES

OCEAN PARK, Oct. 19.-Application
has been made by Fred L. Tyler and
George Cressey for a liquor license for
Hotel Decatur bar. The board Of trus-
tees is expected to grant the applica-
ton next week. The bar has been
closed since the board some time ago
revoked the license held by T. o. Evans
because a gambling game was alleged
to have been conducted in the barroom.
Cressey is partner of Evans in the pro-
prietorship of the hotel.
The board of trustees has been asked
by E. f. Kellner of Globe, Ariz., some
time resident of Ocean Park, to remit
the sum of SO, which he paid few
weeks ago as a tax on three little
dogs which he brought here tempor-
arily. The tax collector got to work
soon after Kellners arrival here and
made him pay up. He contends that
the pups were only visitors and the
city had no right to collect the tax.
The agitation in favor of women for
the city school board is growing
stronger daily and it is expected at
least two candidates for the five places
to be filled will be women when it
comes to a showdown. 1t is claimed
by those advocating the plan that two
women members of the board will keep
the board balanced properly and the
schools will reap the benefit.
