NFWSY NOTES OF
 THE CAPITAL CITY

Little Rock, April 19.-Secreetary of State O. c. Ludwig yesterday af- ternoon began mailing out to corpor- ations of the state notices that the time for the payment of the annual franchise tax is just about due. The foreign corporations have until July to pay this tax, but the most of them get in before that time. The taxes collected from this source last year amounted to about $60,OO0, but Arkansas has invited capital the past year through the way the legislators have made laws, so the corporations have been coming so strong the state will probably this year reap harvest of $7O,000 from the foreign corpora tions.

BOOM EXPECTED IN
 DIAMOND FIELDS

Murfreesboro, April 19.-That greater activity than ever in the dia- mond fields of Pike county will be the program of the Ozark Diamond Mines Corporation, is indicated by re- ports from the offices of that com pany received here today. This city is booming and real estate values are going up in anticipation of the great prosperity which will attend the spending of hundreds of thousands of dollars in the diamond fields. A year ago this town had no railroad and one brick building. Now brick buildings are seen on every side, and the railway traffic into this city is heavy.
 A current issue of the Commercial and Financial World" of New York, which has just reached here, contains statement by Dr. George F. Kunz, Tiffany's, New York, who is regard ed as probably the highest authority in this county upon diamonds, and who has visited the fields here on several occasions. He states that the | Arkansas diamond fields promise great results, and that the stones found are of fine quality. He says the surface discoveries give every in- dication of good bearing of diamonds underneath. The Ozark Diamond Mines Corporation which controls 80,000 acres in Pike county and a small portion in Hampstead county, and which is capitalized at one and a half million dollars, is composed chief | ly of Arkansas capitalists. R. D. Duncan is president of the company; Charles Mckee, vice president. Both of these men are vice presidents of the State National Bank of Little Rock, and are known throughout the state as Arkansas boosters and fnan- ciers. Other prominent men connect ed with the enterprise are John F. Rutherford of Pine Bluff Bluff, Hor- ace E. Bemis of Prescott and William N. Bemis, president of the Prescott X Northwestern Railway Company.

CHICKENS CAUSE RACE WAR
Sensational Issue Raised on Account of Growing Proclivities of
 Southern Fowls.

A sectional issue has arisen in our town," said the New Jersey commuter. Before it is settled I am afraid the civil war will be fought all over again. Anyhow our southern friends are sure to indulge in some fire-eating language
 "A resident of our village, who un- dertook to raise chickens, received crate of fowls from a South Carolina farm When the neighbors learned where the chickens came from they raised a row If you must keep chick ens,' they said, get northern chickens They don't grow nearly so much as southern chickens There is something about the climate down there that makes a chicken crow four times as often as a chicken brought up in any other part of the country.
 That peculiarly of southern chick ems was news to the amateur poultry man. He noticed, however, that his chickens really did crow more persist ently and more vigorously than any when an experienced poulterer as sured him that they always would, be- cause southern chickens always do, he sold them and bought New Jersey chickens instead Now he is in hot water with the southern families in our town, and heaven only knows how the squabble will terminate"

Expressing Political Convictions.

Some old time politicians were not content with wearing ribbons as an outward and visible sign of their con victions. Tn those days" writes a follower of Pitt who bore the soothing name of James Bland Burges, men had the courage of their convictions, and would have made motley their garb to distinguish themselves from their opponents. To belong to the Con- stitutional club was very simple af- fair-no balloting or fees beyond cost of costume.
 "A gentleman desirous of becoming a member wrote his name in the club book and hurried to the tailor to be measured for a dark blue frock with a broad orange velvet cape and large yellow buttons, round each of which was inscribed Constitutional Club" The waistcoat was of blue kerseymere with yellow buttons. bordered all round with orange colored silk, and the brooches of white kerseymere with yellow buttons. In point of taste we certainly beat the blue and buff of our opponents. ."-London Chronicle

My back was so weak and painful that for weeks I could not straighten. 1 often had dizzy spells and at such times had to catch hold of something to keep from falling.

this meeting it is said that more than

 nine blocks of Main street where the
 granite blocks were laid, signed an
 agreement to go into a district to put in asphalt instead. With this end in view, there is now in circulation pe- tition which will soon be presented to the city council, asking for the forma- tion of an improvement district to pave with asphalt. Mayor Duley is desirious of having the granite blocks turned over on their side and asphalt laid on top, thus saving the cost of a concrete base, and if the engineers declare this feasible, the plan will be adopted. Those who are pushing the project claim that before the summer is over Main street will have it's new

STUDENTS LOOK AT COMET.

About 20 students of the Normal de partment of science met with Prof. J. T. Buchholz at the court house at 4:15 o'clock this morning to make observation on Halley's comet. On account of the hay atmosphere the comet was not very distinct to the naked eye but could be easily seen through the telescope The comet is still very faint and appears like a star of about the fifth magnitude. A slight trace of the tail is visible upon close observation. The comet is at present in the morning sky.

PROFIT FROM PATENT OFFICE
It Is the Only Government Depart- ment That Does Not Cause Loss
 to Uncle Sam.

The patent office is the one depart ment of the government which actual ly yields a profit-something over $SO 900 for the last fiscal year. during which the fees amounted to $1,8S1, ,OoO The records show 62,000 applications for mechanical appliances, on Whlch 35.000 patents were issued.
 Inasmuch as the past year shows an increase of 4,000 applications, 1t IS evident that invention, instead of growing less, is on the contrary steadily increasing, and while many patents are secured on which the ln- ventors realize little or nothing, yet fortunes are now and will continue to be made from new and practical ideas
 In most cases the cause of failure to realize expectations will be found, says Popular Mechanics, in the nat ural tendency of an inventor to mag nifty the possibilities and minimize the difficulties of selling his inVenuon While an occasional find" is made by some one working along a line in which he is poorly informed, nun dreds waste time and money deVelop- ing some device which when finished proves to be either old or without de- mand
 If the inventor would have his at torney make a search of the records before instead of after completing his invention he would save money and be able to work out his ideas along different lines from those already pro- tected by patents.

Receiving definite information from the war department as to the exact amount the Arkansas National Guard could expect for the next two years from the government, General B. w. Green yesterday afternoon late an- nounced that both regiments of the Arkansas militia would probably be able to go into camp at Leon Springs, Texas, this summer for joint ma nouvers with the regular army. Gen eral Green stated the railroads would have to make cheaper rate than SC far offered, and the cloth would have to be cut pretty close all around, but the indications were that the appro- priation was sufficient to take both regiments to the Texas camp.

With nine spaces in the section of the auditorium in Chicago, where the United States Land and Irrigation Congress will be held and nearly twice that number of towns wanting space, what is Arkansas going to do with the section in the big show al lotted to it? This is the question which is worrying Secretary E. R. Ratterree, and it may force him to secure additional space for the prop CT advertising of Arkansas at that big display of resources. He has re- ceived notice fro mthe promoters of the Chicago show that so far the fol- lowing towns have asked for sections in the Arkansas division: TeXar- kama, Stuttgart, Hope, Little Rock, Wynne, Walnut Ridge, Fort Smith and Pine Bluff. This would leave on- ly one space, but Secretary Ratterree says the towns which will have eX- hibits have not half begun to make applications The assignment of the spaces will go over, however, until the meeting of the county vice presidents with the board of control in Little Rock, May 10. Secretary Ratterree yesterday sent notices to the county vice presidents of this meeting, ask ing them to meet at the Hotel Ma rion at 10 o'clock on the morning of the day mentioned.

Judge Trieber yesterday afternoon ordered a special grand jury empanel- ed to report in the federal court here Wednesday, April ?, As there is nothing now before the court which was left undone by the grand jury which adjourned only a week ago, the reason for the calling of the special jury is a mystery. The action of Judge Trieber would indicate there is something of a sensational nature to be brought before the special jury.
