Received Fatal Injuries.

Ray Banks, aged SO years, with no
home, met with an accident which
caused his death Monday morning while
riding on the truss rods of a beef train
which arrived at Newport at 7:1O a. m.
Banks in some manner was thrown
from his position and run over, severing
his leg at the knee and was rolled some
distance, the train cutting several
sever gashes in his head besides
injuring him internally.
He was removed to the lodging rooms
of Richard Hurst and was giving medical
assistances, but died about IL o'clock
while they were getting him ready to be
taken to the hospital at st. Johnsbury.
Banks gave as his boyhood home
Hamilton, Ont, and has no relatives
living. He claimed an acquaintance
with a woman by the name of Mrs.

On Test Ride,

A large number of persons were at
tracted by the 3rd Squadron of the 10th
Cavalry, which lined up on State street,
Montpelier, Saturday, shortly before
noon, the line of men and horses, be-
tween 100 and $50 in number, extended
from near the head of State street to the
Montpelier House. The troopers were
on the test ride in which they must
80 miles in three days. The men
left Fort Ethan Allen at 1920 Friday
forenoon and rode to within two miles
of Waterbury, where they camped
over night. Saturday morning they
rode to Montpelier, arriving here shortly
before moor and after a short stop re-
turned to camp, remaining there until
Sunday morning when they returned to
the Fort. The distance covered each
day depends largely IN the condition of
the roads and the weather.

Narrow Escape from Death.

Emerson Thorp of Shelburne is re-
covering from injuries sustained in an
exciting experience with an angry bull.
Mr.. Thorp was in his pasture, driving
home his cows, when a large Ayrshire
bull came up behind him and knocked
him down. The bull had been dehorned
when young and could not gore him,
but at once proceeded to stamp upon
him and push him about with his head.
Mr.. Thorp was unable to rise, but with
great presence of mind allowed the in
furiated bull to push him about until
he was in reach of a heavy stick.
Then s~pringing to his feet and grasp
ing the stick, he vigorously applied it
to the bulls head and the surprised
animal backed off. Mr.. Thorp, still de-
Tending himself, walked as rapidly as
he could to a fence and to safety. He
then consulted a physician who found
that Mr.. Thorp had a broken thumb and
was covered with bruises, but other
wise unhurt.

has been granted a divorce from Ben
jamin F. Yeartaw for intolerable Sc

after the wedding Mr.. Yeartaw began
to splurge with the big bank account of
his wife, over which he was given con-
troll, buying fast horses and automobiles.
Relatives of Mrs. Yeartaw then applied

her, but the application IA soon with
drawn, as Judge Martin informed them
that he had no grounds of interference.
Divorce proceedings were her brought
and to these the sporty groom offered
no objection. Judge Hall granted the

Killed by the Cars.

j. Arms Miller of Dummerston, aged
65 years, was instantly killed by jump
ing from a moving passenger train at
Dummerston station last Friday after
noon Mr.. Miller was returning from
the State fair at White River Junction.
He found that the train did not stop at
his station and attempted to jump off
when it was going full speed. He struck
the platform and was thrown under the
wheels, his body being terribly mangled.
Mr.. Miller was the largest peach grower
in Vermont and his exhibit of this fruit
at the State fair has attracted a great
deal of attention. He was also a large
grower of other varieties of fruit. He
was born in Dummerston and that town
has always been his home. He has rep
resented it in the Legislature and has
held many town offices. Eight sons and
two daughters survive him. His wife
died four years ago.

q Play Worthy of Note

On Saturday evening at the Opera
House was presented the drama en-
titled "The Final Settlement to a
& ood-sized audience despite the I'M
favorable weather and the fact that
a large number of business people were
unable to attend. he play was well
received being repeatedly encored. The
plot is a combination of wealth and
ambition combined together in a di-
rect way. The curtain rises on the
humble home of John Stowe, a laborer,
who is at length made president of an
iron company. Not being content with
his happy home, he seeks something
more than the affection of a loving wife
and daughter and divorces his wife and
marries an actress. In the end it proves
that the iron company is a bubble"
and he loses both money and his new
wife. The villain who has helped to
bring about the ruin of Stowe comes
to grief and the latter resolves to
make his home in the West. Elizabeth
Royal, as Ellen Stowe, the wife,
showed great dramatic ability, as did
Gladys Gillen, as Madge Stowe, the
daughter, and seemed to be a favorite
with the audience. j. A. Whiteside, as
John Stowe, had the leading part and
his handling of hat part showed him to
be well fitted in that line. John Ora
ham. as Ned Newell, a friend of the
Stoves played a vivacious part and
proved himself a true friend. Pauline
White, as Adele Hillman, who causes
the iron president to leave his happy
home, seemed to be very wicked and
performed her part in a lawless man.

Gets Molten Iron Poured Into
His Boot.

Tom Barry of st. Johnsbury recently
suffered a severe accident at the foundry
of the Fairbanks Scale factory, when
n of the implements which he was
using, broke, and poured molten iron
into the top of his thick boot. The
leather was of enough resistance to con-
duct the iron along inside until it came
to the toe, where it burned through and
ran out. Strange enough, the shock
was so great that the victim of the
burn felt no pain at the time of the
accident. Upon removing the shoe it
was found that the flesh was burned
away from the cords and bones and am
putation may be necessary, but the
doctors have decided to wait for a little
and see how it heals.

RECEIVING LICENSE FUNDS.
State Authorities Give Encouraging
 Report of Finances.

The first revenue from liquor licenses was paid into the state treasury this year by Ouachita county, which turned in total of $2,A50. This amount, it is expected, will about cover the total amount of liquor license revenue from that county, as only a small amount is collected from that source in that county each year. More revenue from the liquor licenses is expected to be turned into the state treasury this coming week.
 State Auditor lobe may call on Pu- laski county or one or two other coun- ties to advance some liquor license money if it becomes necessary. All the money from the entire state from that source is due by January 20 under the statutes. The total amount is ex- pected to between 5000 and $95, 1000. The amount of liquor license from Pu- laski county this year will be greater than last year, and is expected to be about $24,000. Whether there will be an increase from the state as a whole remains to be seen.
 The next source of revenue for the general revenue fund, following the pay ment of the liquor license, will be the money received from insurance com psnies. This may amount to as low as $65,000 or go as high as $S0,000. The revenue from that source is due any time between February 20 and March 10.
 Then will come the money from the general collections. The collections un- der that statute should close April 10, but in many counties collections are re- ceived after that date, and the state re- ceives its share from then on for a month or two afterward
 The penitentiary fund still owes the general revenue fund $4S,000 out of the $9S,000 borrowed by act of the recent legislature. Hence, all things consid- cred, many in touch with the financial status of the state are inclined to be- lieve that from the liquor licenses, in surance companies and what the peni- tentiary may pay yet, the general reve- nue fund will derive sufficient cash to operate the state government until the general collections are paid in, pro- viding that fund is not called upon to pay anything other than ordinary gov ermental operating expenses.

MUCH TALK OF SECESSION
Farmers Union of Texas Disagrees with National Organization and
 May Organize Locally.

Secession of the Texas Farmers union from the National Farmers union has been suggested by officers of the union This move was brought to light by the discovery of two-page pamphlet now being circulated among the Texas locals of the Farmers Edu- cational and Cooperative Union of America
 The Farmers Educational and Co Operative Union of America is the union of the farmers of 27 states. It had it's origin in Texas in 1902, and has since grown to it's present propor- tion. It's influence is felt all over the United States, always in the interest of the farmer; it's name has been the sign of strength and unison wherever heard. In each state there is sepa- rate union. closely affiliated with the national union, though in name there is no National union
 The circular in question suggests that the local unions dissolve, and that the farmers again organize and form a union in Texas, which will be separate and distinct from the na- tional union, having for the head of the Texas union the officers of what is now the Texas union. The circular is signed by each of these officers, none of them using their titles.

BOYS CORN CLUB WORK.
Eight Prizes Instead of One Will Be
 Awarded.

A general campaign throughout the entire state for the purpose of arous- ing interest in the boys corn club contests will be opened within few days. Ths will be in charge of the state committee, which conducted the corn club contest in Arkansas last year. About 11,000 copies of printed matter issued by the United States government will be distributed throughout the state within the next week or ten days. Following the dis tribution the state committee will send out other printed matter setting forth the history of the movement, the purpose and the rules.
 H. S. Mobley of Fayetteville, con nected with the state agricultural school and one of the leaders in the corn club movement was in Little Rock recently expecting 10 find the government literature here ready for distribution.
 State Superintendent of Public In struction George B. Cook stated that the committee hoped to be able to of fer eight sweepstake prizes this year Only one was offered last year. Each congressman in Arkansas has been asked to secure $100 from his district and four have practically agreed to furnish that amount of money The committee also expects to secure S100 again this year from the Arkansas State Bankers Associ- ation. Each $100 will comprise a sWeepstake prize which may be used by the boy winning it by taking Q trip to Washington. or in some other way It has been suggested tEat sweepstake prize would send a boy 10 the agricultural college for one year or to the national corn show Where he might learn much more about corn culture.

TO STUDY TAX RATE
COMMISSION WILL VISIT EVERY
 COUNTY IN STATE.
Equitable Basis for Levy Will be De- rived From Practical lnvesti-
 gation.

Little Rock.-The State Tax Com mission has decided to inaugurate movement in it's work that will event ually result in determing the actual value of all property in the state Every county in the state is to be visited and property values thorough ly investigated. It is expected that the task will require six Or eight months, but at the end of that time the commission expects to possess exhaustive figures on the true value of property in Arkansas that will be laid before the legislature and which will induce that body to tower the state tax rate about 50 per cent and to enact some kind of legislation that will then compel the county tax as seSsors of the state to assess property at it's full and true valuation instead of only a per cent basis.
 This work will be largely expert mental" said Commissioner David A Gates yesterday, but we expect to go into it thoroughly to obtain what We go after. We will work together at first until We are all acquainted with the nature of the work and know how to proceed and tien We will split. One commissioner will go to one county and possibly spend two weeks there. another will go to an other county, and so on. Our clerks Hlll assist us in this work" empha- sized MT. Gates. For instance, we will take up as much property as possible in county and get the opin- ions Of various citizens or the real worth of that one piece of property We will not depend upon the opin- ion, bur on many This will require time, but will insure more satisfac- tory valuation. We will also uncov- CT back taxes and work to get prop erty that has heretofore escaped as sessment. We will also study rail- rad property while in the various counti>s. Instead of hitting the high places we will plough right through and blow deep"

HIGH SCHOOL DATA.
Prof. Torreyson Urges Plan to Adver-
 tise Educational Advantages.

In order that the public may get a more accurate idea of the condition of the high schools in Arkansas, and for the further reason that 1t is necessary to have reliable statistics regarding the schools before legislation looking to their improvement can be secured, Prof. B. W. Torreyson of the department of education has addressed an urgent let ter to the high school teachers of the state, asking their cooperation in com piling data in line with the above set ting forth the condition of the high schools with which they are connected.
 Please give the description of condi- tions as they exist at this time; not as they are expected to be, '' is pertinent request in the letter. Prof. Torreyson wants the real facts, in order that whatever conditions deserve commend ing may be commended, and whatever conditions need remedying may be remedies.
 Among the data requested are the following: Number of weeks in school term; number of pupils in high school; number paying tuition; number of teachers; rate of district tax; total amount of moneys received; information as to high school buildings, etc.

Carpenters at the new State cap itol have boxed up the openings and placed windows and doors in the ex- treme north room of the first floor of the new building, and as soon as the piasterers have done their work Gov ernor Donaghey will occupy this as his office. Il is expected that he will be able to move into the roughly fiu- ished room by tie middle of the month. The room will be portion of the governors suit when rhe
 ing is completed. The portion of the work on the building which is to be done by the commission on force account is rapidly being completed. All of the stone work with the ex- ception of the dome, is completed. The iron workers have the steel in the north wing up to the roof. and the concrete workers are following in close order In the south wing the steel work remains to be put up for the roof Before the end of the north the commission will meet and approve the bond of William Mille- X Sons Co, and the work of cement .ns the building will then be com n,ti;eeu The bond was signed last week, and tie attorneys of the com nilsson ere now going over i; again.

TO REGULATE RAILROADS
mission Largely Increased by Provisions.

Washington-A new bill for the regulation of railroads and transpor- tation companies, was introduced in the house by Representative Mann, chairman of the house committee on interstate and foreign commerce.
 The bill if passed, will create a new division in the department of commerce and labor called the bureau of labor transportation to which all persons having claims against the interstate transportation companies appeal.
 Among the provisions are para graphs making it unlawful for rail. roads to acquire stock of competing carriers, or to issue stock or bonds ex- cept for the acquisition of property, the construction of it's lines, the i'm. provement of it's service or the dis charge of it's obligations The bill also specifies that there shall be no dis. crimination in short and long hauls.
