 Lepauto Petition for Service,

IePauto Petltlon TOT SefVcS.
 Little Rock.--The Frisco Railroad Company, which owns the Tyronza Central Railroad, has been ordered by the railroad commission of Arkan- sas to begin at once the betterment of the Tyronza Central and to con- tinue this improvement until the line is in such condition as will admit the operation of daily trains over the line should the commission at a later hearing make such an order
 The hearing upon which this order was based came upon the petition of the people of Lepauto, asking for general and specific betterments of the track of the line and of the fa- cilities for handling the business at Lepauto.
 The petition of the people of Con- way on the passenger station matter has been set for special hearing at Conway on September 19 There is a question of the ownership of a strip of land adjacent to the station site which is now delaying the erection of a station at that town.
 The petition of the people of Me- Kamie, on the Louisiana & Arkansas railroad, was continued until the next meeting of the commission. as was the petition of the people of Barber for an express office.

Wants Lands Opened Up.

Little Roek.-J. A. Teller of this city has filed petition with the general land office at Washington, asking that a large portion of the lowlands of eastern Arkansas, now marked on government plats as "lakes,' be surveyed and opened to settlement There are approximately 10000 acres of lands involved. Other interests are fighting the move to open the lands. These are the ri parian owners, who claim the lands by virtue of the receding waters from the line of their original holdings, and the swamp lands interests, who claim the lands under the original swamp land grants. The lands are located chiefly in Mississippi county.

State Capitol News Notes
STATE OF ARKANSAS WILL SOON TURN LOOSE ABOUT
 $1,75o,o0o.
Big Amount Will Be Turned Bact Into Channels of Trade to Relieve
 Stringent Financial Situation.

About $1,750,000 will be turned weeks from the state treasury, and as the result Little Rock bankers who are in touch with the situation declare the financial tension in Ark ansas, which has been felt to TO small degree at intervals throughou; the state during the summer, will relax
 During the coming week the state treasurer will turn over the money in the common school fund to the common school commission, and that money, amounting to about $1,200,00o, will be distributed among the county treasurers of the state. The money in the pension fund will also be dis tributed to the county clerks, whu will see that the money is paid to the pensioners. About $55O,000 will be distributed from the pension fund.
 The entire amount was collected last spring throughout the state, ana at that time in most instances WIS deposited with banks throughout the state. However, in accOl dance with the law, the money had to be turned in to the state treasurer at a certain date, and as the result all of the cash was withdrawn from the banks at the same time. It was then held by the state treasurer, and is now in his hands.
 The greater part of the $l,750,000 will probably be out of the state treasurer's hands within tEe next 10 days or two weeks, but it is possible that it will be 30 days before all of the money is drawn out The con mon school money will now go back to the treasurers, who will make de- posts in the banks, thus putting more money on the market and en- livening things in financial way in general.

Joe Mangrum, at Woodson, Beaten
 Into Insensbility by Two Men.
 Woodson-The station here was broken into and Station Agent Joe Mangrum was choked and beaten in to insensibility and the office rifled of the money then on hand. Man grum was found lying unconscious on the floor about half an hour after the robbery, and it was two hours be- fore he could be revived sufficiently to give an account of the affair. He states that he was making his emit tance to the express company when two masked men came in and de- manded his money. He says they seized him as he went for his gun, struck him twice over the head with a club and choked him. Mangrum was suffering too intensely to give a coherent account of the happening, and the amount of money taken was not learned. Mangrum believes his assailants to have been negroes.

May Strike Oil at Star City.

Star City.-For some time past a well company has been boring an ar tesian well in Star City in hopes of obtaining an abundant supply of good, pure water, which has always been scarce in the immediate town and neighborhood. The well is now twelve or thirteen hundred feet deep, and for a good many feet the indica- tions have been better for oil than water. Several pockets of gas have been struck and it is believed that a paying flow of gas or oil will shortly be encountered.
