THE WHITE PLAGUE

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-The great
fight against tuberculosis is being wOu
according to Chief Statistician Cressy
l.. Wilbur, of the division of vital sta.
t~iStics, United States health bureau,
In a bulletin issued today bearing on
the returns OF the deaths from the
death registration areas of the Unit
ed States he says:
1t is probable tnaI the great atlcn-
ton thai has been given 10 the di-
sease through the international con
gress on tuberculosis held at WASH
ington in 1898, and the organization
of many state and local societies las

a continued decline in the death rate

According to reports a disease Of
increasing importance is pellegra,
from which % deaths occurred in 1908
bu as most OF the deaths from this
occurred in the south, from which no
records are received, this figure does
not represent the mortality from this

SPRINGDALE DIDN'T GET IT.
Horticultural Society Will Meet
 Next Year at Little Rock.

Springdale did not get the next meeting of the State Horti- cultural Society, Little Rock be- ing chosen as the next meeting place. Those from Springdale who attended the meeting at Si- loam Springs last week report that the sentiment of the execu- tive committee was in favor of taking the meeting further south next year, in view of the fact that 1t was held m this section this year. Springdale will have a good chance of securing the meeting following that at Little Rock.
 Mir. Shibley of Van Buren was elected president, and for secre- tary there was spirited contest between Senator John P. Logan, former secretary. and Prof. Ernest Walker, of the experiment. sta tion at Fayetteville, the latter winning out. Mr. Vestal of Lit tie Rock was reelected treasurer.
 It was decided to ask the legis- lature for an appropriation to print and distribute the proceed ings of the Society, and also for state inspector of orchards so that wherever San Jose scale Is discovered prompt measures may be taken to eradicate 1t.

 A bill 10 consolidate the elee- tions in Arkansas afforded some amusement in the House Friday. Finally 1t was decided to defer action on the bill until April 10. That IS just about as near as this legislature will come to consoll- dating elections.
 A number of bills have been introduced in both houses amend ing the game laws. One bill makes 1t unlawful for person to hunt on any except his own premises, and another makes 1t unlawful for any person to hunt without license, except on his own premises.
 Mir. Guilliams' bill prohibiting the manufacture or sale of whisky within ten miles of Lincoln was passed by the Senate Thursday, and now only requires the sigma ture of the governor to become law. This will put quietus on the proposition to locate a dis tillery at Lincoln.
 A bill was introduced Ill the House Saturday the object of which IS to make 1t possible for any person in the state to bring suit against any railroad or rail- road agent for violation of the 2-cent fare law, the penalty being a fine os not more than 5,00O nor less than $1, 1000. It Is con- tended by some that such law would be unconstitutional.

A ROAD OF THEIR OWN.
Rogers People Plan to Build Elec.
 tric Road to Pea Ridge.

Rogers people, having been left out of the proposed electric inter urban to be built in this section. are now planning to build a road of their own and an ''investigat- ing committee has been working on the matter for several days.
 The proposed road Is to run from Rogers down the Prairie Creek road to Electric Springs as far as Cloverdale, thence north to Avoca and Brightwater, pass Ing under the Frisco bridge at the latter place, and from there west to Pea Ridge. The route is said to be an easy one so far as grades are concerned, and 1t Is estimated that 1t can be built and equipped for S250,0oo. Rogers people are trying to get Pea Ridge and other points that the road would touch, interested in the enterprise.
 When the Proper inter-urban proposition was first made known Rogers people got sore because 1t was proposed to run the line from Pea Ridge to Bentonville, instead of Rogers, and this new move Is probably an effort to forestall Bentonville in the af- fections of the people of the Pea Ridge country. It Is the out cropping of the old green eyed monster Jealonsy-which Il s existed between Rogers and Ben tonvllle for so many years, and promises never to die. Anyway. Pea Ridge people will doubtless not complain ii they get two electric roads.

Washington County, and inform ed that there was pretty hard case against him, remarked that Charley Buck lay in ambush and killed his man and the jury only gave him five years and that the Governor pardoned him out with Ill five months, and that he was not alarmed, that q pardon could be secured. Buck on his return home found bundle ot switches and note telling him to quit the country, and l understand that he is gone. If there IS anything in the sign of the time l think you ought to consider we'll before you extend any further executive clemency.
 Il beg leave to state further that within ten minutes after the jury had returned a verdict of guilty against Threet 1t was currently reported on the streets that Threet would get pardon notwithstanding the fact that the jury had given him a very short term under the circum- stances"
 Since the writing of the above letter by Mir. Horsley both Threet and Daugherty have re- ceived pardons. Also Lem Fitch of Madison County, convicted recently of an assault with intent to kill and murder in two e $, and sentenced to five years in tue penltcntiary, was pardoned few days ago and has been released.

THE INTERURBAN. MATTERS ARE BEGINNING TO
 COME TO A FOCUS. OTHER MAGNATES ARRIVE.
Expected That Not Many Days Will Elapse Before the Dirt
 Will Begin to Fly.

Matters relative to the proposed inter urban road in this section are beginning to come to a focus. and we believe 1t will not be many days now until active work will begin. Below will be found two extracts from the Bentonville Democrat and Bentonville Sun of last week bearing on tile question, which showed the status of the matter at the time those papers were printed. We hope to have further news by next issue:
 The interurban railroad mag mates arrived in tile city today to meet with the citizens committee here tomorrow, at which meeting II IS their intention of going over the entire contract. after which the purpose IS to close up the contract and go ahead with the construction of tile road. The following gentlemen from Minne- apolis, Mlnn., are here represent ing the interests of the inter- urban railroad, viz: ". E. For an, president and general coun- sel; W. H. Crossland, vice presi- dent; G. T. Proper, secretary and promoter; Ed Henry, right of-way man. The committee here Is enthusiastic over the sit uation and 1t certainly looks as though Bentonville and North west Arkansas will soon have electric connections with Joplin, Mo-, and the outside world. After the committee meets to- morrow 1t is expected that gen. eral mass meeting of the citizens will agaln be called Tn order to close up the deal Bentonville Democrat.
 G. T. Proper returned today from Joplin, Mo, and reports the citizens ill Joplin more enthusias- tic and eager to help build the electric railway than are the citi- zens of Bentonville. Mr. Prop per informs us that Jasper coun- ty has a population of six hun dred thousand. The county does not produce one dollars worth of sustenance. They eat potatoes from Colorado, flour from Minne- sota, beef from Chicago, vege- tables from Texas, and are prop ping the mines with sawed lum- Der from the Pacific coast. They will welcome a connection with Northwest Arkansas that pro- duces everything in abundance necessary for the needs of this gigantic population at 5 per cent it's present cost. This is what an electric interurban will do for 100000 people in Jasper county alone.-Bentonville Sun.

THOSE PARDONS. THIS DISTRICT HAS BEEN ES.
 PECIALLY FAVORED. MIR. HORSLEy TELLS THINGS
Despite Prosecuting Attorneys Protest Criminals Have Been
 Pard0ned lndiscriminately
In answer to a letter from Act

In answer to a letter from Act ing Governor x. 0. Pindall to D. B. Horsley, Prosecuting Attor- ney, notifying him of the grant ing of reprieve for thirty days i'll order that he could aeqnaint himself with the facts in regard to the conviction of Robert Tlreet, convicted at the last term of the Benton Circuit Court for manslaughter and sentenced to four years in the penitentiary, Mr. Horsley among other things stated to the Governor as fol- lows:
 During the three years that l have been Prosecuting Attor- Hey of this, the Fourth Judicial District, eight men out of nine indicted and prosecuted for homicide have been convicted. five for manslaughter and three for murder in the second degree. These convictions have been se- cured alter eleven trials at an enormous expense to the tax pay CTS of this district. Each of these men were convicted by q jury of twelve men selected to hear the case and determine the guilt or innocence of the defen- dant. In each case the defendant was ably represented by counsel and given a fair and in- partial trial. In no case was the Supreme Court called upon to correct any error committed by the Circuit Court. In number of cases an appeal was prayed for and granted but not perfect ed, evidently only taken to se- cure time to procure pardon. Of the eight convicted as stated above, six have already been pardoned. Threet now applies for pardon, and Hugh Daugh- tery of Washington County is the only man paying the penalty of the law as provided by law for the crime committed.
 .I submit that 1t would not be so bad If these men were only sent back to their homes and families to be better men and lead better lives but the effect IS more far reaching. In the East ern District of Carroll County for example where three men have been pardoned and four men killed, three more men now stand charged with killing of another, and two men for an assault with intent to rape. In Washington County three men have been par doned, four killed, and two more men stand charged with murder and an assault with intent to kill and murder and two have been killed.
 'The extension of executive clemency Ill this district has no doubt caused a marked increase in the commission of homocides.
 "When Charley Buck of Wash lngton County returned to his home after being pardoned, 1 am informed that he passed by the home of John D. Holt, who IS now charged with the murder of J. w. Murry. Charley Buck was charged and convicted of the murder of Arthur Parker by lv- ing in wait and shooting Parker from ambush, John D. Holt is charged with murder by lying in wait and shooting Murry from ambush. In twenty minutes after Holt was arrested by s. L. Todhunter, Deputy Sheriff of

RADICAL CHANCE. MR. HURST PROPOSES CHANCE IN ASSESSMENT LAW. CARLOCK AFTER THE RABBITS Experiment Station to be lnves. tifated...Other Legislative
 Happenings.

MT. Hurst has introduced a bill to change the assessment laws of the state and for the pur- pose of increasing the general revenue fund. A deputy for each township IS allowed the county assessor. and rigid provisions are made for reaching the true valua- tion of the property. Careful provision IS made for the equali- zation of land values i'll the sew eral townships of the county and two assistants are to be selected to act with tile assessor as a county equalization board.
 In case of dissatisfaction with the result of the acton of the equalization board, the property owner may appeal 10 the county court, provided appeal be filed at the succeeding term of county court.

 Senator Carlock of Madison County introduced bill Wednes- day to permit rabbits to be ship ped from the state, but there has been such a law since the legis- lature of 1905.
