MRS. NATION MISTREATED.
Harrison Times Incidentally Hands
 Seligman Package

Mrs. Carry A. Nation returned to her Alpena farm Tuesday after a month of speaking at Chautauquas throughout the southwest where she has regularly drawn the largest crowds of anyone save Bryan, whose audiences in one or two cases ex- ceeded hers. After q week of rest she will again resume her leeturt work, having twenty dates already booked for August
 While waiting between trains at Seligman Monday night she says she was subjected to indignities which speaks badly for that town and the depot authorities
 A crowd of the smart Aces of the town and depot loafers, when they found Mrs Nation had arrived gathered in the ladies waiting room where she must remain until eleven O clock at night to catch the Eureka train, and while smoking pipes, cigarettes, etc, jeered and insulted her as only idiots can. Finding no peace officer on hand to protect the women in the waiting room Mrs. Nation appealed to the station agent to enforce the rules set forth by signs about the room against duty in the matter he informed her with an insolent grin that he was too busy to be bothered with such things
 It seems strange that system like the Frisco. so careful and courteous in the treatment of it's pa irons, would keep d man of this sori in it's employ=but this is not the first complaint from travel coming this way concerning rude treatment at Seligman.
 It should be remembered that Seligman is in Missouri. and Ark ansas assumes no responsibility for the place, but it is an unfortunate fact that much of the travel com ing this way gets an unfavorable opinion Of our section by it's en- forced wait at this tough little burg and we want to appeal to the two railroads as well as to whatever good citizenship Seligman may have, to see that passengers who stop there are not impressed with the idea that they are getting into country filled with toughs and row. dies Harrison Times.

All the trains stop in Springdale excet No 6, the north bound cannon ball, The new arrangement makes It very convenient for Springdale people who have business with neighboring towns in either direction. as they can go either way and stay practi- cally all day or part of the day, as their business demands.
 Nearly all of the trains have been late this week since the new time card went into effect, but probably the service will be better after the trains are in operation awhile

Remedy for Dry Murrain

In view of the dry weather, and the fact that at such times cattle are liable to become affected with dry murrain, J NJ Bench tells The News of a remedy for this di- sease which he says in almost every instance has proven q success.

trial Conditions.

Chocago, Oct. 1&-"Race suicide
may be bad, but it is a thousand times
better to be without children than to
rear them in the horrible industrial
conditions that prevail at present.
Let us give thanks that the industrial
conditions that make the lives of chill
dren a curse also help TO prevent the
bringing forth of children.
"The men of America are the ones
who are always talking about race
suicide.
but the men alone are to blame.
If they want children let them remove
the conditions that cause race suicide.
It's their greed that forces women to
work in filthy shops It's their greed
that undermines the health of women
employees and incapacitates them as
mothers"
These were the sentiments express
ed by Mrs. o. Hulburd, delegate from
the Woodlawn Woman's Club to the
meeting of the Second District of the
Illinois Federation of Woman's Clubs.
Her address followed that of Raymond
Robins, who described the legislative
fight being made for better working
