WHY THE CHIEF JUSTICE SEES
STRAIGHT.

Chief Justice White is a true South
ern gentleman. When he arrived at a
concert recently given in Washington
he found that he had left his eye
glasses at home, and he could not fol-
low the programme. His Wife was with
him, and the friend by whom she was
accompanied offered the Chief Justice
her glasses; but they did not suit his
eyes, and, turning, as the story goes.
to Mrs. White, the Chief Justice said:
May | try your glasses, please, my
dear?"
Settling the glasses at the proper
angle, the Chief Justice studied the
programme with great satisfaction,
remarllng, gallantly
"lNinc, fine, my dear. l felt sure
Your glasses would suit. Everybody
knows l always see through your
eyes,"
There has been nothing better than
that on the real human side of Amer
lean life. 1t is no wonder that the
Chief Justice sees straight.

GOV. D0NACHEY TO
 SPEAK AT ROGERS

Little Rock, June 25.-With invl- tations by the score to speak on h. dependence Day, it is no easy matter for the governor of a state to decide which place shall be graced with his presence. This year it was easy for Governor Donaghey, as he accepted the first invitation to arrive, that from Rogers. Since that time he has received from one to three invitations to deliver a Fourth of July oration, and now they are coming by tele- graph. Governor Donaghey has been forced to decline AZ invitations for fireworks day speech so far. There will be plenty of fireworks for the Fourth. but it will be a sane Fourth in all sections of the state, as the firecracker act is in force, and noth- ing in the frecracker line will be on sale for that day. This will not pre- vent the youth with the red blood run ming warm to use the toy cannon and plenty of black powder, however.

CL0UDBURST AT
 THE YAPOR CITY
STREET OF CITY FLOODED
SEWERS BURST FROM VOLUME OF WATER, TEARING UP
 STREETS.

Hot Springs, June 25.- Following serious thunder storm yesterday, in which much damage was done the tele phone and telegraph wires, which fill ed the principal thoroughfares of the city with water. Cases from the fronts of stores, mail boxes and gar bage cans were carried along with the current, which swept forty miles an hours down the streets. The arch over the creek which runs under the city was choked up with lumber and trash from new buildings in the northern part of the city, and the stream was unable to carry off the great volume of water.
 Cellars were filled and water stood two feet deep in the stores. AutomN piles which were desterted at the curb stones on account of the heavy rain fall were carried bodily along with the current. Industrious photograph CTS could be seen standing waist deep
 in the water, taking photographs of the flooded streets.
 Cabmen, changing abnormal prices. carried fares along the streets with water running into the cabs. Serious damage was done to goods in cellars wines and liquors were injured and baled goods destroyed. Several sew CTS burst from the volume of the wat CT and tore up the streets, leaving large holes. Street car service was stopped, and when the water subsided bricks from new buildings and trash and wrecked street stands were left lying all over the streets. The dam age is roughly estimated at about 0,000.

THE IRON MOUNTAINS
 ANNUAL SETTLEMENT

Little Rock, June 25.-The annual statement of the Iron Mountain turn ed in to the Arkansas tax commission does not show much extension by that system during the past year. It shows only 16 more miles of sidctrack than last year, and no additional main line. The sidetrack is double track ing done along the main line and nine of the 16 miles are in Miller county. The Iron Mountain has assessed its property at a 50 per cent valuation, making it the same as last year, $22,- 800 per mile. The Rock Island gave in it's property at full valuation, leav- ing the reduction to a 50 per cent basis for the commission to make. The Cotton Belt statement has not vet been filed. The commission will pick up considerable additional money for the state, though in new depots. In Argenta the Rock Island will be forced to pay on new depot, winch has not yet been completed.

things which is conducive to perfect health is the keeping down of all kinds of weeds, and it is right here where the Log Cabin Democrat wish es to intercede. There is hardly a sidewalk in the city, and especially the western portion, that the weeds have not taken entire possession of. There is law on the city's statute books regulating this menace and ev- cry property owner and tenant should give it due respect. Mayor Duncan says he has repeatedly called atten- tion to this matter before and there seems to be very little heed paid to it, but that if it is not observed more closely in the near future he will be compelled to order all violators into court to answer to the provisions of the ordinance. It is to be hoped that every citizen in Conway will go after the weeds at once and thus prevent the coming of contagious disease dur ing the long, hot months which are ahead of us.

0 SUMMON COMMISSION
SUPERINTENDEN COOK WILL CALL MEETING OF EDUCA-
 TIONAL BOARD.

Little Rock, June 25.-Superinten- dent George B. Cook, chairman of the new educational mission, recently ere ated for the state, will call meeting of the members of the board soon at- ter the converting of the National Ed ucational Association. He does not deem it expedient to attempt to get the members of the commission togeth- CT before the N. E. A. meeting.
 Mr. Cook is very anxious to get the commission in working form, now that he has succeeded in getting it created, as he believes there are many school problems that can be dealt with prof. itably in time to get recommendations before the next session of the legisla ture. However, as the N. E. A. meet ing will be held July 3-8, there is lit tie time to take up any comprehensive plans until after that date. The meet ing will probably be called toward the later part of July.
 Notices of appointment have been sent out to all the members of the commission, and acceptances are ex- pected to be in within few days.

WHILE the new ordinance passed by the city council at it's last meeting prohibiting the hitching of horses on Front street was well received by the citizens of Conway, and while it is of considerable inconvenience to many of the professional men who have offices on this street, there seems to be an early lack of enforcement of this new law and complaint is already being made that all are not being treated alike. It is said that some of our merchants are being held strictly to the provisions of the ordinance, while others are allowed to override it and do as they did before it was ever made law by the city. However, we are inclined to believe that if there has been any open violation of this new law it has escaped the watchful eye of our efficient officers. One of the best notices in the world for a city of any size to have is; Treat everybody fair and alike"
