KAVANAUGH AND
 HINEMON CONFER
Two Prospective Candidates for Gov efnor Get Together, but No Hint of Results Is
 Given.

Professor John H. Hiuemon of Philadelphia, president of fien- derson College, and c. c. Kava- naugh of Little Rock, ex-sheriff of Pulaski county, both possible candidates for governor, were in close conference in room l06, Gleason hotel, last night, but at l1:45 the two together gave out an official announcement to tine press to the effect that there was nothing to be said as yet as t. the plans of either relative to the coming state Democratic cam paign. The conference, 1t is be- lieved, indicates that the two will decide who will make the race, providing either runs.
 Professor Hinemon dined at the Gleason Hotel with w. T. Amis of Hot Springs, celebrated reform leader of that city and we'll known throughout the state as an advocate of statewide pro- hibition, upon which platform Professor Hinemon would be ex- pected to make the race for gov ernor. Later Professor Hinemon went to his room, stating then that be would be in Little Rock over night and that if there was anything to give out 1t would be announced by 10 o'clock.

Let us rise and make solid foundation for our towns by making the farms better and encourage the fai mers. Re member, the farms cannot be moved away. Like the poor, you have them always with you.

FIGHT IS WON.
Battle Against Tuberculosis Believed
10 BE Over.

Philadelphia, Jan. 6.-What is con-
sidered by medical men to be the most
important discovery in the war against
tuberculosis since the finding Of the
tuberculosis bacillus by Koch, is con-
tanned in an announcement by DR..
Randle c. Rosenbergh of the chair of
bacteriology at Jefferson Medical col
lege.
DR.. Rosenbergh declares that the
tuberculosis germ can be located in
the blood before it reaches the lungs
and that in view of this can be de-
stroyed by very simple treatment. BY
use of anti-toxin. he thinks, the dis
ease can be soon stamped out
A paper on DIR. Rosenbergh's re-
searches is soon to appear in a med
ical journal, but the results he says
ne has obtained were discussed before

card room, where all the train sched-
ules are worked out and which is an
important department is also located
in the building south of the Cope
land.
Other departments which do not
use overflow office room are badly in
need of increased quarters. The pas
senger department is crowded to its
capacity, while the freight depart
ment hasn't any room to spare.
Should the Santa F'e decide in the
near future to increase the office
room. it is likely that an entirely new.
building would be erected. When the
Reed property was acquired, it was
then understood that the road in
tended at some future date to build a
new structure on the site and this
would be the probable course The.
present general office building is
about complete from an architectural
standpoint, and hence no further
additions are expected, although there
is plenty of building room left on
these lots.

building on the east.
Since this addition was built and
put into use, the different departments
have grown, and in some instances al
most doubled, so that now there are
but few of the departments which
have ample room for their work
The new rulings of the Interstate
Commerce commission have added to
the clerical force of the roads The
commission has also made new rules
regarding the keeping of records and
documents. Papers of this kind,
which were formerly kept for a
limited period of five years or so. are
now required to be filed indefinitely
and this requires room, much more
room, than the general public realizes
Already the force of the different
departments has increased in number
to such an extent that office rooms in
the nefghborhood of the general Of
flee building have been engaged. This
of course entails additional expenses
of rents and the like, that would be
needless should the building be en-
larged or another one built.
The freight auditing is at present
the most congested department The
clerical force occupies all the top
floor of the general office building
and in addition fifty-four clerks are
occupying quarters in the old Reed
residence, located across the alley in
the rear of the general Office build
ing The Santa Fe purchased this
property a few months ago.

about twenty men working in the

This is a true story Of what hap

Omaha. Neb.:
Two boys. just average American
boys. were strollins through the Gene
terry. Many OF the graves were dec.
Grated with flowers
In that walk the lads came across a
small grave that had no flowers on II.
The younger boy. aged about seven
years. stopped and looked at the grave
He turned about to see If any one was
near The coast seemed clear. He
crept over 10 Il nearby mound that was
almost covered with fine blossoms.
Telling his companion t. keep watch.
the little fellow selected several bOu-
quets from the we'll decorated grave.
Secreting the flowers under his jacket.
he crept back TO the neg .ected little
mound and gently and lovingly be-
slowed them upon the tiny grave.
The two little fellows walked quiet
ly away, speaking 10 word TO each 9th
er until they reached the street.
Then the Younger said. THAT wasn't
stealth. was it:'
Course ii wasn't" responded the
other. Don't you think that little
baby had just as much right 10 dow.

Mrs. Wilson Woodrow. Hitherto Mrs.
Woodrow has laid the scenes Of her
stories IN one of two settings. either
in the midst Of the untamed western
wilderness or amid the ultra fashiona-
bic society Of New York. Mrs. Wood
row has had personal experience OF
both. Many readers OF The New
Missioner" questioned the ability Of
any cultivated woman to secure first
hand knowledge OF the life there por-
trayed. AS q matter Of fact. Mrs.
Woodrow did herself actually live for
time in a raw mining camp For
one whole winter she dwelt high up in
the mountain passes. her little cabin
SO often drifted over with snow that
II was impossible TO cut her way out.
A mine Of fabulous wealth figures i'm

Woodrow combines to romantic pur-
pose the two atruospheres with which
she is familiar
