amount recovered from the rail- road company on the writ of garnishment. A railroad at torney stated that it is nothing unusual in cases of this kind where the amount of the claim is S1O for the costs to amount to S15.
 Under the present laws of Ar kansas there is nothing to pre- vent the assignment or trans fer of a claim by a resident of this state. to a resident of an- other state by the person to whom the claim was transferred. The Supreme Court in the case of Cook vs. Greer held that where a nonresident held an interest in. a claim against a resident of Arkansas he could not be enjOin- ed from bringing suit on the claim in his own state and col lecting the amount of the iudg. ment secured by means of a writ of garnishment against the de- fendant's employers.
 Senator Toney proposes to put a stop to the practice, how ever, by making it unlawful to assign or transfer or to send out of the state for collection in an- other state any claim against a resident of this state where all the persons involved in the pro- ceedings are residents of this state.-Littie Rock Gazette.

 The uncertain weather in Ar kansas is caused by a storm of great intensity and large geo graphic dimensions which is cen tered in the Rocky mountains. This storm will not reach Arkan- sas although it will pass immed- lately north and west of this state.

CONCLUSION.
Speaking generally. the country is
in a high state of prosperity. There
is every reason to believe that We are
on the eve of substantial business
expansion, and We have just garner
ed a harvest uneXampled in the mar
ket value of our agricultural product
= 1t is well to note that the
increase in the cost of living is not
confined to this country, but prevails
the world over, and that those who
would charge increases in prices to
the existing protective tariff must
meet the fact that the rise in prices
has taken place almost wholly in
those products of the factory and the
farm in respect to which there has
been either no increase in the tariff
or in many instances a very consid-
cradle reduction"

to carry weight with our readers. So
many strange occurrences go the
rounds of the press: are published as
facts, people become skeptical. On
one subject skepticism is rapidly dis
