To Complete Larqe Contract.

Argenta.-Work on the Argenta sewer system, which was suspended last year, will be resumed this week by the contractor. The suspension was owing to the strike at the Iron Mountain shops and the subsequent shutdown following the financial fur ry, which joint causes made the city officials apprehensive of crippled finances. Now that normal times have returned work will be resumed on the $1OO,00O contract.
 Five miles, or one-fourth of the work, has been completed. It will take four or five months to finish the remaining 15 miles of mains and laterals.

Urqe Passaoes of Bill,

Little Rock-The officials of the agricultural experiment station of the University of Arkansas, have issued a circular letter urging the passage of Senator McKenzie's bill providing for an investigation of the different types of soil in Arkansas and for their analysis, the act calling for an ap- propriaticn of S10.000 to carry on the work. They claim that the plan embodied in the bill is not an expert ment, that it has had years of sue cessful ar ication in other states, notably in Missouri, Illinois and Ohio, and has never been a failure.
 The objects of the bill are in line with suggestions recently offered at the conference at the White House in Washington for the conservation of the resources of the country.

ANOTHER
 CAPITOL BILL
House Passes Bill Asking Attorney General for Opinion as to Power Of State to Discharge Architect
 and Contractors.

The House passed another state turning their attention to the legal questions relative to the discharge of those connected with the state capi- tol matter. MT. Jones of Pulaski sent up resolution last week requiring the attorney general to give an off cial opinion as to whether or not any action on the part of the General As semblv in discharging the contractors and architect would be binding. This measure he called up was for final consideration and it was passed by a decisive vote. It is now up to the attorney general to give a legal opin- ion as to whether or not, under the present condition and at the present stage of developments, an act dis charging those connected with the construction of the new state house will stand the test. In other words, they will stay fired when they are fired"
 A bill affecting improvement dis tricts in cities and towns and being of much consequence, according to it's advocates, in simplifying action formed, was passed. The bill pro vides that upon petition of majority in valuation of the property owners in a district desiring to be annexed to district already formed, the city council may have the power of grant ing such annexation. This will ac- cording to the author of the measure, MT. Suggs, avoid the necessity of coming to the legislature for spe- cial act forming an additional dis triet every time it is desired to add a section to a sewer, light or water district already formed, and will also eliminate the necessity of two boards and two separate organizations in such cases.
 The banking bill, by Messrs. War nook and Seamster, came up for con sideration, and, after brief discussion, in which Messrs. Smothers and Neale objected to certain provisions of the bill, it was placed back on the second reading for amendment. Mr. Smoth- CTS objected to the penalty clause, in which the court is left the discretion of placing fine or prison sentence on the violator of the law
 The Witt school text-boox bill, pro- viding for state uniformity of text books, was again referred to the com mittee on education, after some dis cussion. It is the intention to elimi- nate the appropriation carried, so that majority vote can pass the bill. But since it's reference back to the committee for amendment, it is high ly probable that additional amend ments will be recommended by the committee, in line somewhat with those suggested when the measure was under consideration last week.

SHORT LINE.
 IS ABSORBED
Rock Island Railway Said to Have Secured Entrance to Shreveport.

Magnolia The Minden East and West railroad, projected from this place to Shreveport, has been sold to the Louisiana and Arkansas, the pa pers having been passed before Attor- ney E. L. Stewart. The road, of which F. H. Drake of Magnolia was the chief promoter, has already been construct ed some ten or more miles toward Shreveport. The new owners vii, at once put to work a large force of men and will complete the road as soon as possible. In few months at the furthest it is stated that the Louisiana and Arkansas will be oper- ating trains over the new road be- tween Minden and Shreveport.
 While the transfer was made in the name of the Louisiana and Arkansas, yet it is currently rumored that the Rock Island-Frisco system is interest ed in the deal and will use this branch to operate trains in and out of Shreve- port.

Pine Bluff-In it's first report, just submitted, the Jefferson county grand jury returned ten true bills, ma jority of the indictments being against offenders who are now in the county jail charged with minor yio. lations. Romp Fleming the negro who shot and killed his mother-in-law Laura Davis, in this city some months ago, following the filing of divorce suit against him by his wife, was among those indicted, and Enoch Me Clendon, negro, who shot and kill ed George Blockard near Sherrill, is also under indictment.

WANT NEW PARKS.
Several Ret, cation Grounds Are Be-
 ing Planned.

Fort Smith-Fort Smith is going to have a number of new parks. Mem bers of the board of public affairs, together with the park commission, will look at an S0-acre tract which Harry E. Kelley will sell for s20,000, he reserying the mineral rights and an easement for a natural gas pipe line. There are several smaller tracts offered to the city and they will be inspected. Public sentiment is in fa- yer of parks, and it would not be at all surprising if at the next meeting of the council there is an appropria- tion made of something like $50, ,00e with which to purchase park lands. A few years ago Kelley offered to sell what is now Electric Park to the city for $7,500. The offer was turned down and the property is now valued at $140,000 and cannot be purchased for that figure.

Local Day in Senate.

Monday was local bill day. in the Senate and small bills occupied the greater part of the session.
 The only feature of interest was the defeat of Senator Dill's bill, re- quiring railways to employ five sec tion men and foreman for each six miles of track in the state. The bill was defeated by vote of 10 to 10, and Senator Wingo, voting with the prevailing side, gave notice that he would ask a reconsideration of the vote by which the bill passed.
 Senator Turner's bill, creating three state medical boards, homeopathic electic and general, was another state wide measure passed during a lapse of local bills
 Senator Wadley introduced a bill which called forth many smiles from the Senate and gallery, although the bill is statewide in it's effect It is bill regulating massage and medical gymnasts and providing for a state massage examining board to be ap- pointed by the governor.
 Senator Toney introduced Senate Bill No. 298, a bill to exempt ex-Con- federate soldiers and sailors from drawing less than $S per month pen. sion, and blind persons from section 6SS0 of the code, and permitting them to peddle and give street entertain. ments without taking out a license Read twice and placed on the calen- dar.
 MT Neale, in opposing the bank ing bill, said it worked toward cen tralization to the detriment of the small bank. The banking business is already done largely on confidence. then why not risk the small banker with the capital stock of S5, 5,0OO, in. stead of requiring him to double that stcck?" He read from Lincoln to show what he believed to be a disposition of the present day to centralize in the matter of finance and push the small operator out of business. He also objected to the creation of the office of bank com missioner.
 Senate Bill No. 2s6, by Senator Fletcher. bill to amend the act ere. ating the Crawford County Levee Dis trict, was introduced, read twice.
 Senator Watson introduced Senate Bill No. 297, bill to amend section S5ss of Kirby's Digest, which prohib. it's nonresident hunters from hunt ing in Sharp and Fulton counties
 Senate Bill No. 2sS, by Senator Ar. mold, bill to require railways to employ special claim agents to facil itate the payment for stock killed was introduced. read twice and re ferred to the judiciary committee.

SAVED BY HIS WIFE.
Accidentally Severed Jueular Held in
 Place With Alum and Dough.

Mammoth Spring,-T. E. Applegate, a citizen residing about five miles west of this place, stumbled and fell across the blade of his double-bit axe cutting his throat and severlng the left external jugular vein.
 With wonderful presence of mind his wife filled the wound with pow dered alum and later with wheat dough, making substitute for a plaster cast over the gash, which firm ly held it until a physician could be secured from the city. Instead of the physician finding the man dead upon his arrival he was still conscious, and although nearly exhausted from the enormous amount of blood lost in the time required for the physician to arrive, he withstood the removal of the temporary remedy applied by his wife and the operation of the physi- elan and is still living
