Just why the glowworm, the fire.
fly and other insects do glow is not
determined. One theory is that the
females are given this distinction in
order that they may be readily
found by their mates. Another.
adhered to by Darwin, is that the
light is for self protection merely.
Light bearing insects are notorious
ly III tasting, and the light may
serve as a notification to birds and
lnsectlvorous animals of this fact.

EDWARDS CASE IN
 HIGHEST TRIBUNAL
FAULKNER COUNTY SUIT
FAULKNER COUNTY SUIT TAX EN BY RAILROAD TO UNITED
 STATES SUPREME COURT.

E. II. Edwards, prominent farmer and officer of the Farmers Union, re siding near Vilonia, enjoys the unique distinction of being the first citizen of Faulkner county to have a case in the supreme court of the United States.
 Some years ago MT. Edwards and of his neighbors ordered a car of corn from Oklahoma. The car arrived at Conway and remained on the sidetrack here for 15 days before Edwards was notified of it's arrival, and when he desired to unload his corn the railroad company demanded and forced him to pay S10 demurrage. Mir. Edwards then brought suit, under the Barker reciprocal demurrage act" for pen atty of $5 per day for each day the car remained here before he was noti- fled, amounting to $75, and also $l0 for demurrage wrongfully collected from him.
 On trial of the case in circuit court the railway company did not deny the allegations made by MT. Edwards, its

Mir. Milford Adams is his name, and he writes about it: "Some time ago I was confined to my bed with chronic rheumatism. I used two bottles of Foley's Kidney Remedy with good eff feet, and the third bottle put me on my feet and I resumed work as con- ductor on the Lexington, Ky, street railway. It gave me more relief than anly medicine I had ever used, and it will do all you claim in cases of rheu. matism" Foley's Kidney Remedy cures rheumatism by eliminating the uric acid from the blood.

t, Q. DALTON OUT
 FOR THE SENATE
CAMPBELL WILL NOT RUN
A. c. MARTIN TO BE OPPOSED BY REPUBLICAN RUNNING
 INDEPENDENTLY.

G. o. Dalton, young teacher of Enola and a Republican in politics, will make the race for state senator from this district as an independent, in opposition to A. c. Martin, the Democratic nominee, according to in formation given out from authorita- tive sources today. It also became known this morning that l. M. Camp oell, who had been mentioned as an independent Democratic candidate for the position, will not make the race. Mr. Campbell has never made any statement for publication since he was first mentioned in connection with the senatorial race, but he stated to some of his friends today that he had no in- tention of offering for senator.
 Mir. Dalton is said to have been brought out by the "insurgent' wing of the Republican party in this coun- ty, and it is not known whether the "regulars" in that party will give him their support. His name will go on the ballot as an independent, no party convention having been called to make the nomination. Petitions were sent out from Conway several days ago and it is stated that several times more than 50, the required number have signed them. The petitions will be presented to Secretary of State O. c. Ludwig, who will certify Mir. Dal- ton as an independent candidate.
 Mir. Dalton's consent to make the race is said to have been obtained in letter received here Monday night

sole defense being that the law under which MT. Edwards suit was brought was unconstitutional and void as ap- piled to interstate shipments. Judge Landlord overruled the contention of the company and rendered judgment for Mr. Edwards for SS5.
 The railway company then appealed the case to the supreme court of Ar kansas, where the judgment of the lower court was affirmed, except as to to the $10, which it was held MT. Ed wards was not entitled to recover in that suit
 The exact question involved in the case had never before been decided by the supreme court of any state, nor by the supreme court of the United States, and the railway company is taking the appeal to the highest court of the land in order to settle the ques- tion finally.
 Papers citing Mr. Edwards to ap- pear and answer the appeal in the su preme court of the United States have been served upon R. w. Robins, attor- ney for Edwards. The summons is in the name of the president of the Unit ed States and is signed by Chief Jus tice E. H. McCulloch of the supreme court of Arkansas.

Special to the Log Cabin Democrat.
 Hot Springs, August 17.-Sheriff Jake Houpt is mortally wounded and George and Jake Chitwood, two Mont gomery county desperadoes, were kill ed in pitched battle which began in front of the sheriff's office here today.
 The two Chitwoods, who were want ed for horse stealing, accompanied by another man whose identity is un- known, rode up to Sheriff Houpt's office, brandished their revolvers and defied the officers to arrest them.
 Sheriff Houpt and his brother, Sid Houpt, armed themselves as soon as the men left and began pursuit of the desperadoes. George Chitwood, taking refuge behind street car, fired at the sheriff, the bullet penetrating his lungs and iniicting fatal wound
 Running up from the other side of the car, the brother of the wounded man, fired on Chitwood, killing him in- stantly. Oscar Chitwood mounted a mule and started away, but Sidney Houpt secured horse and chased him, overtaking him about mile from town.
 A pitched battle ensued, ending in Chitwood being killed.

COUNTY HAS MADE ONLY SMALL GAIN SCHOOL CENSUS FIGURES SHOW INCREASE OF ONLY IA
 PER CENT IN FAULKNER
 CITY'S GAIN GOOD.

That the total population of Faulk- ner county has increased only about Il per cent and that the federal cen sus taken this year will show the coun- 700, as compared with 20,7S0 in 1900, is indicated in the annual school enumeration report just filed by County Examiner T. F. Forrest. This authority, although possibly not absolutely accurate, may be taken as a reliable one, and by comparing the school report of the year 1900 with the federal census of that year, the present total population may be easily estimated by using this years school enumeration as basis.
 The number of children of school age in Faulkner county on June 30, 1910, according to Prof. Forests re- port, was 8,93S. The number on the same date 10 years ago, according to the report of that year, was 1880. The census of 1910 gave Faulkner county population of 20,7S0, the ratio of the school to the total popu-
 ation being almost exactly two and two-t thirds per cent, a ratio which has been found to be approximately cor ], ect Figured on this basis, the total population in 1910 should be 23,775.
 But the actual increase in the num- Der of school children in the decade is only JOS, or IA 1-7 per cent. Add ing this percentage to the total popu- | lation in 1900 gives us 23,619. The difference is due to disregarding frac- tions in percentage, so that Faulkner coualy's population as shown by the federal census this year will, in all probability, be somewhere very close to 23,7OO
 Conway, on the other hand, has shown a much more rapid growth in the decade than has the county as a whole The number of children of school age in the Conway district in 1900 was sos, and the number this year is 1,160. Using the same ratio, 1 two and two-thirds, this indicates a present population in the city of B. 094, which is probably very close to the figures the federal census will show for the city. But, in consid- ering Conway's real population at least 400 should be added for the num- Der of boarding students, who are not included in either census, but who reside in the city three -fourths of the year.
 The summary of statistics as giv- en in Prof. Forests report, compar- ed with the same of one year ago, are given below:
