The wooden railroad car, pas
senger or freight. Will be a thing
of the past, a memory, within the
next ten years. The railroads are
getting rid of them just as fast as
they can. On the big eastern lines
the wooden car is even now the
exception. The steel car is both a
life and property saver. Its use is
an economic measure that cannot be
ignored. In these steel cars copper
fixtures are a prominent feature and
one that shows the way to another
largely increased use for the metal.

A NEGRO HERO REWARDED
A Porter on the Missouri & North Ar kansas Railroad Saves Life of
 Little Girl at Risk of Own.

Searcy, June l7.-A negro DOT ter on Conductor $. K. Mean s train on the Missouri & North Arkansas did a heroic act on Tuesday which saved the life of a seven-year-old girl, brought him substantial reward from the rail way com pany, and may be the re- suit of placing him in the list of heroes rewarded by medals pre- sented by the Carnegie Hero Fund.
 While Conductor Means train was standing at the station at H ggiusou, freight car on an- other track was being switched at rapid rate of speed in the opposite direction.
 Little Mary Belle Powers, whose parents reside uear the track, was standing directly be- tween the rails at the switch, with her back towards the ap preaching car, watching passeu- gers alight from the other train
 The car, which was running at
 
 rapid rate of speed, was within few feet of the little miss and her death seemed certain, when the colored porter on Mean's train noticed her danger. It was a moment for quick thoug ht and quick action, but the negro was equal to it. He ran 10 the little girl, reaching her when the approaching car was less than half dozen feet away. Without stopping tc gave her a quick push from the rails while running at full speed. Both fell just out side the rails just as the swiftly moving train passed and neither was injured.
 The little girl was taken to her home almost unmindful of the danger through which she had passed, while the porter was warmly congratulated by large number of persons who witnessed the act.
 The matter was called 10 the attention of the company and the porter has been promised sub- stantlal reward, while a number of passengers signified their iu- tention of taking the matter be- fore the Carnegie Hero Commis- sion, with the idea of securing the Carnegie hero medal for the porter, whose name has not been learned.

LIABLE FOR NEGLIGENCE
Common Carrier Can't Contract Away Responsibility for Loss of
 Goods in Transit.

Little Rock, June l6.-In de- ciding the appeal of the Kansas City Southern Railway Company vs. J. M. Carl, appealed from the Benton Circuit Court, the Su- preme Court emphasizes the prin- clple that common carrier cam not enter into such an agreement or contract withits patrons as will relieve the company of liability for losses incurred through its neg ligence.
 Carl sued the Kansas City Southern to recover on some household goods shipped 10 Gra- vette, Ark. from Lawton, Ok ,, via the Rock Island, with the Kansas City Southern as the con- meeting line, and which goods had been lost in transit on the latter road. The lower court gave judgment for the full value of the goods. The company ap- pealed to the Supreme Court, on the ground that when the goods were shipped Carl signed a con- tract for the lowest freight rate. conditioned on the promise that, in case the goods were lost, he could recover only S5 per hundred pounds.
 The Supreme court first shows that this contract would be in violation of The Hepburn act, which expressly provides that recovery may be on the full amount involved; then holds that no common carrier is at liberty to contract away it's liberality fer damages arising through its own negligence, even If the shipper had signed such contract.
 The judgment IS therefore af- firmed for the full. amount.

CLOSE CALL FOR DR. PARKS
Lightning Bolt Struck the New Gardner Building and Caught the Doctor
 Across the Street.

Last I hur; day about 5 o'clock during he thunderstorm, bol, of lightning struck the new Gard. ner building at the corner of De Queen and Jinssen, and Dr., w. r. Parks, who had just driven into the Lcgate bLru across the street, caught the bolt, and was shocked into insensibiIity for a period of about ten minutes. The doctor had been out in his top buggy attending the duties of his profession and had driven rapidly through the storm into the barn. He had just stepped to the ground when the shock came. Amos Goodwin, proprie. tor of the livery business, was within three feet of hims and Mayor Lcgate but little further away, but neither felt the sdocL. No other damage was done, and the fluid left no marks on Dr. Parks.
 The doctor says that his first sensat ton could be de ;cribed as that of a heavy blow on the back of his ankles by club. Then he says he felt the shock up hs spine, and all became dark. Sew cral physicians were soon on the sput, but there was little or nothing that could be done, tine doctor recovering consciousness in a short time. He was taken to his rooms and friends looked after hln during the night.
 The lightning struck the Gard. ner building just inside inc top of the Janssen avenue wall, teai- ing a whole down for a few feet, and displacing iu peculiar way d few bricks in the main wall, from there evidently it jumped across the street.

COMMISSIONERS
 MEAN BUSINESS
nave tot Charge of New State House and Propose to Co Ahead Regardless Ot ContractOrs-Ju Judge Trieber
 May COmplicate Matters.

Little Rock, June l6.-"The Slate Capitol Commission is abso- lutely and officially in charge of the new st,tehouse," declared Hon. w. F. Kirby. former attor- ney general, "as much so. in lac, as would have been the casc e had they sent an oficlal note 10 Caldwell X Drake stattng thai they were goinl, 10 take posses sion of the building. The watch man maintained at tie slatehouse oy the contraLtois was told the purpose of the visit of Governor Donaghey and the other commis. sioners, and that is sufficient mo- tihcation. The other might have been more formal, tut the plan pursued was just as tffectual.'
 This was the response to a question as to whether the new commission is officially in posses sion ~ the bui ding, or was their action without legal effect as maintained by the contractors. The contractors claimed that since they were not notified of the intended action of the commits slon the aclion had no legal sig nificauce, aud declared h e ' would take no notice of it, u1less their uIeu should be ordered from the ground and the building, or formal nolice should be given Tn some other way.
 In any v,ni 1t is certain that things of very definite nature will not be long in happening The announcement by Judge Jacob Ttieber, one of the mem. bers of the arbitration board that he will tender his resignation, ef- fectiye Monday, should the agree. ment to abide by the findings oi the board not be filed by Cald well x Drake by that date, is calculated to bring matters to 3 locus, as il will ab- b-olutely settle the question of arbitration by tho date. There is no way to prolong the life of the board afte, one member resigns, as the con Iingency ot refusal to abide by its findings was not taken into consideration by the legislature.
 "The commission is going ahead, however," said a promi- uent official, "and Caldwell & Drake had just as well get ready for the contingency. This com mission does not mean any fool ishness, and while the contractors may not get the treatment they ought to have, the comm ssion has the state back of it and it is the biggest thing on the job. Il Caldwell & Drake don't agree to take what the arbitration board is willing to give them, the only thing they can do is get after the validity of the act in the federal courts. They can't stop the com mission any other way"
