 Legislative Aid In Their Work.

Little Rock, Feb. 4.-If action

 At a meeting of the Arkansas Humane Society this afternoon the committee on legislation sub mitted the draft of a sweeping tichild labor bill, which is to be presented to the legislature with the endorsement of the So- ciety- This bill in addition to providing heavy penalties for compelling little slaves to wear away their bodies and minds in foul work rooms, often amid i'm moral and depraved surroundings places the enforcement of the laws in the hands of the officers Of the Humane Society. This so- ciety has officers now, and az ents in twenty counties of the state where thare is most urgent need for r'their services and is ap- pointing more every month so the. Organizat claims that whatever legislation is passed up on the lines suggested will be strictly enforced. It will ask that it's scope of work be enlarg- ed so as to extend to childlrein where now it can legally protect only animals.

 Parker started on a hunting trip with his eldest son this morn ing and was among the nouns tains near Howard. At the time of the accident he was hurrying after a bear he had startled in a ravine when he slipped and fell. His gun was discharged and the bullet entered his right leg just above the knee.
 About three years ago Parker who is a veteran hunter, shot himself through the right arm with a' gun while om hunting ex petition. This accident resulted in the loss of the arm.

That child slavery exists in Arkansas is a startling fact sup ported by the statement of So- cial Agent w. M Rankin, one of of the chief officers of the society who says law to protect the children is urgently needed. He said to a correspondent of The News: For some years the con- dition. of child slavery in the fac tories and cotton mills of Arkan- sas has been known. Think of it children eight years of age have been compelled to work 10 and 14 hours day in the factories and other workplaces. Stunted and starved they do not know what natural childhood is. It is all right to teach children to work and to become useful citi- zens but the placing of children to work in positions where their morals, minds and bodies must suffer to satisfy the greed of a repacious corporation or greedy employer is a thing that the peo- pie of Arkansas should not tOler- ate.
 There is no law prohibiting child labor in Arkansas now on the statute books, but we want one. l recommend in my annual report that a States Board of Child and Animal Protection be formed and that child labor should be prohibited and that a law be passed compelling the teaching in the public schools of the state, at least one hour each week the principles Of kindna s to dumb animals.
 ''The proposed Board of Child and Animal Protection should have jurisdiction over cases where saloon men sell liquor to minors a. well as over parents who abuse their offsprings."

TROUBLE IN GOLD FIELDS.

Mena, Feb. 4.-TrOuble is being mined III the Arkansas gold fields F. low ,ng the discovery of the reciCus yellow metal in the dis ; tricI near Acorn contentious haze arisen over claims which it is hoped by the parties involved will be settled by the chancery court during the latter part of this or the first of next week. The advance of civilization has preciuded the handy shotgun me- thod of settling disputes which the Forty-n miners" made conven- tent use Of in the California gold fields and the ieas picturesque method of attorneys and law books is called into play.
 Among the disputes that has gotten into the court here is one between a miner names Bare, one of the first to go to the gold fields, and the owner of a home stead claim named Bryan. Bryan posted warning notices on his land notifying the miners that trespassing and miling opera tions must stop and hied himself to the Chancellor here and asked for restraining order against Bryan to restrain him from in- terfering with the mining opera tiOns.
 Bryan's attorneys malntained that the court had no jurisdic- ton and that there would have to be proceedings before the land commissioners first. The court refused the injunction so miners must keep off the home(tead claim until the court passes fin- ally upon the matter at least.

MISSIONARY SOCIETY
Of Park Church Had Interesting Pro-
 gramme of Mission Study.

The regular monthly meeting of the Woman's Foreign Missionary society of Park church was held in the Osgood Memorial on Friday afternoon. The president. Mrs. William G. Henderson, conducted the opening devotional exer- cises and the regular business. Let ters were read from Miss Cole, hos pital nurse at Adana, Turkey, and from a native Bible woman in Ma dura. India, in whom the society are interested.
 Mrs. Frank Browning conducted an interesting programme of mission study. her subject being Italy. A brief outline of tho history of the country in its six important political phases preceded the story of the religious history of Italy. From the establish ment of Christianity as the state re- ligion of the empire, the growth and temporal decline of the church was traced through the dark ages, the cru sades and the reformation, and the in- fluence of the monasteries touched up- on. Present day religious conditions in Italy and queer customs still used there were described. In contrast was the history of the Waldensians, who still keep the original faith of early Christianity in spite of many persecu- tions. Little Italy in several cities of our own country has its share of mission work as well as some in Italy itself

STRIKERS FINED IN CITY COURT
All Day Session Necessary to Hear the Matter-Twenty
 Paid heir Fines and Costs Amounting to $150

There was more trouble at the West Side silk mill on Friday. brought on by the strikers who are out because of a reduction in the price per yard for the goods they make, and the re- suit was that instead of the three who were arrested on Thursday being be- fore the city court, there were twenty, charged with breach of the peace and some of them with the additional charge of intimidation.
 At the mill there was about the same number at work as on Thurs day, although the efforts of the strik- CTS to persuade those working to stay out were kept up. This resulted in a fight and the arrest of a large num- Der. From the testimony brought out and the statements of the police, some of the Greek strisers appealed to two Syrians who had been working to stay out. They did not desire to and there was considerable hollering and noise in the street, where a large crowd gathered. It was claimed that one of the Syrians had drawn a knife to de- fend himself, whereupon the Greeks pitched upon the two again, and 1t was said that both Syrians were knocked down. As soon as he saw the trouble, Policeman Henderson got in- to the midst of it, but it was several minutes before he was able to get to the men where the trouble really was. and he was having his hands full when others came to his assistance and the entire crowd was taken to

police station. No charge was made against the Syrians. as 1t was claimed they were set upon by the strikers be- cause they were determined to work.
 The evidence in the ease required all day to hear and arguments were made by Attorneys Pettis for the &C., cused and City Attorney Hall.
 At the close, Deputy Judge Barnes, who was occupying the bench, said that no one had greater respect for the workingmen than he and strikers have certain rights in endeavoring to obtain higher wages, but they must get them by just or legal methods. At times they overstep and he thought they had in this case. and said that the matter simmered down to the question of whether the Syrians were telling the truth. He believed they were. The strikers can appoint com mittee to walt upon the workers or superintendent but they cannot use force or unnecessary violence.
 He disposed of the cases by lining twelve of the men $5 without costs, one boy was fined actual costs. s231, six were fined s5 and costs or $12.84 in each case, and one was fined 8 and costs or $10.94, making total of s150.29. In case they desired to ap- peal he fixed the bonds at s100 each.
 All paid their bill and S150 was handed over to Clerk Tibbits as the result of that trouble, which, 1t is be- lieved, will have a good effect upon the strikers.

 To every reader Of The Bulletin the American makers of Parislan Sage wish to emphatically state that they do not guarantee Parisian Sage 10 grow hair on bald beads, because m the great majority of gases the hair roots are absolutely dead and not even the wonderful virtue Of Partisan Sage can resurrect them.
 Mir. Armstrong started 10 use Paris ian Sage in time. before the hair root was entirely dead, and in such a case there Is no good reason why Parisian Sage should not restore his hair.
 The Lee & Osgood Co. guarantees Parisian Sage to remove every trace of dandruff. stop falling hair and itch ing scalp in two weeks or money back. but they do not guarantee 1t to grow hair on bald heads.
