A REFORM ADVOCATED.
Attorney General NOrwOOd Believes Railroad School Taxes Should
 Be Distributed.

Attorney General Hal L. Norwood has written a lengthy letter to Dr. Henry S. Hartzog. secretary of the Arkansas Education Commission, in which he urges a radical change in the distribution of the school taxes paid in by the railroads.
 Mir. Norwood suggests that school districts in localities where a railroad or two traverse the county are SUD- piled with much more money than they need as the result of the taxa ton of those roads, while in other lo- calities where there are no railroads the school districts are sadly lacking in funds. He suggests that the reve- nue derived from assessment of rail roads for school purposes be put in the general common school fund and prorated throughout the state. He further suggests that this apply only to the assessment of the main line of the railroads and that the To- cal communities continue to receive the benefit of assessment of switches, depots, and similar railroad property. The attorney general also endorses compulsory education.

COAL MINERS ASK
 Slll,43O DAMAGES
Pennsylvania Anthracite Coal Company Is Defendsnt in Suit of P United Mine Workers-charged Min
 CTS Were Criminals

Gainesville, Oct. 27.--Damage suits, aggregating more than $100, ,000, were filed here. creating consternation among the coal corporations of this county. The suits were filed today by Cravens & Corvinton, attorneys for union miners, against the Pennsyl- vania Anthracite Coal Company.
 On the 9th of October the coal com pany presented it's petition to Judge J. J. Montgomery for injunction against a number of United Mine Workers, alleging numerous violations of the law and commission of crime and as result of the serious charges contained in the petition. p United Mine Workers have brought suit against the corporation for damages amounting to sill ,430.
 The complaints filed by the miners raise new question and one that is certainly interesting to organized la Dor. The suits will be fought stub bornly by the corporations.

BURGLARS AT TEXARKANA
Depredatious, It Is Believed, Are Be- ing Committed By Gang of
 Youthful Thieves.

Texarkana, Oct. 26.-The police au- thorities on the Arkansas side are con siderably annoyed by reason Of num- bet of petty burelaries that have oc- cured within the past week. NO dei- mite clews have been secured, but there are features of the case which lead the officers to believe that small boys are the guilty parties, or else that boys are being used as tools by older persons.
 The grocery store of George Treher and the. dry goods establishment of Max Scherer, situated in the same block on East Broad street. were en- tered few nights ago and a number of articles taken.
 Monday night the grocery store oi A. Walter & Co.,, near the postoffice, was broken into, as was the residence of A. W. Ardis on Garland avenue. Last night an effort was made to enter the Pacific Express Companys up- town office by someone, who tore away heavy wire screen and then smashed the glass of an ordinary win dow.
 The hole in the glass was large en- ough to admit the body of a small boy, but not large enough to admit full grown man. Nothing is reported miss ing by the express company people, however. and it is believed that the thief became alarmed and ran away without affecting an entrance.

NEW BRIDGE NEAR BETHESDA.
B C. Davis Also Is Improving q Bad
 Spot in the Road.

Fifteen men, under the supervision of Road Commissioner B. c. Davis and 0verseer John Scott, were busy today constructing a new bridge over Dallas Creek. just this side of Beth esda Springs. The timbers for the bridge were donated by the National Forest and the labor is being paid for by the subscriptions of people who live along the road and use the bridge.
 The new bridge will be twenty feet long, which is about eight feet longer than the old one and it will be raised two feet higher. When the road has been filled to this height, much of the bad grade will be eliminated. At present it is almost impossible for two buegles to pass when within a hun dred yards of this side of the bridge.
 The road is now being widened to 50 feet. To do this it was necessary for l. M. Davis, of the telephone Com pany to take men out this morning and move several telephone poles. Several yards of fence along the road also had to be moved back.
 though there will be several days more work finishing up the bridge and road, they can be used this even- ing.

 aMy trouble first came after Ia grippe eight or nine years ago, a gathering ia my hesd and neuralgia. I suffered most all the time. My nose, ears and eyes were badly affected for the last two years.

Big Parade on Opening Day of Sixty First Annual Session of Grand
 Lodge in Fort Smith.

Fort Smith, Oct. 26.-Yesterday was subordinate lodge day at the six ty-first annual session of the Odd Eel lows. which met at 10 o'clock in the Grand theater.
 The Iiiee parade parade att S:3G S:3GG this iorniIif was over mile in length, and was led by two local bands and the Or phan's Home band from Batesville.
 It is generally understood that Judge M. M. Stuckey of Newport will succeed Grand Master Joseph without opposition, that John P. Paul will be re-elect grand secretary and J. B. Baker treasurer. Little Rock will be selected as the next meeting place without opposition. Several places will ask for the state headquarters which is at present located at New port.
 Grand Master Joseph in his report gives full detail of A. w. Shirey be- ing murdered at Minturn March 8. Among other matters Secretary Paul shows 5S9 lodges. including 30 in- stalled during the year: total number of members. S1 ,568; deceased during year. 51; brothers relieved. 8. 427: fam flies relieved, 242:: paid for the relief of brothers, $3S. IS; total relief for year. $65, ,344.25.
 Little Rock will probably be chosen tomorrow as the meeting place for 1911. It is also likely that the grand secretary's office will be moved from Newport to Little Rock.
 General figures: Odd Fellows and Rebekahs in the United States, l. 952, 421, which IS over 500, ,000 greater than any other secret fraternity in the country.

MUST TRY IT AGAIN.
Old Lindsay and His Aids Did Not Bring Sanitarium, But Did Good Adver
 tising for Mena.

Old Lindsay returned last week from Ft. Smith, where he has been attending the meeting of the Grand Lodge of the Odd Fellows. Though he did not bring back the big Sani- tarium and Odd Fellows Home which he and other Odd Fellows in this section were trying to get for Mena. he did give this city a lot of good advertising. From his story, Ed Hammer. w. P. Mount, George Griffith. Oscar Thacker, H. P. George Of Deqqaeen end ether Odd Fellows from over the state, spent a good part of their time boosting for Mena.
 The lodge did not take any defi- nite action on the location of the Sanitarium on account of the fact that the bequest with which it was to have been built consists of real estate, situated in Arkansas, Indiana, Texas and Mexico. When this prop erty is turned into cash, the Sanita- rum proposition will again be taken up.

Ed Cox Glad to Be Back in Mena and Likes Polk County Real

Ed Cox, who returned last week from Heavener, Ok, where he had been for several days, disposing of the real property held by himself and brother Eugene, seemed to be glad to be back in Mena. He reports that their big lot sale was a great success and tha. out of the 156 lots there are only eight or ten left, which goes to show that there is much faith placed in Heavener's fu- ture. Ed had nothing to say against the Oklahoma town. but did say that Polk county real estate was good enough for him.

 Natxral History Collection.

| The great display of products O
 orchard. farm. garden, forest and mine that the Kansas City South ern Railroad Company has been gath. ering in Mena during the past six months. was shipped last Wednesday tc Shreveport, where it will be exhibited during the Louisiana State Fair, which opens on Nov. 2 and closes on November II. The head of the In dustrial department of the road. Mir. F. E. Roesler. has been in Mens during the past ten days putting the finishing touches on the exhibit, and has left for Shreveport, where he will remain until all is in place. He then will leave it in the charge of Ed T. Wolfe and others until the close of the fair, when he will again take charge and see the exhibit in place at the great land congress which meets in Chicago beginning November IS.
 In addition to the regular exhibit, w. A. Tomlinson, who undoubtedly owns the finest collection of natural history specimens in Arkansas, has permitted it to be used. This collec- ton was awarded the premium at Hot Springs as the greatest attraction of the Arkansas State Fair, and the spirit of MT. Tomlinson in allowing it's use is much appreciated.
 Besides the display, the Kansas City Southern has provided many thousands of copies of handsome booklets. treating largely of the ad- vantages of Mena and Polk county, which, supplemented by 5000 smaller booklets furnished by the Mena I.n- provement Association. will be dis tributed to tke best advantage.
 After the exhibit is used in Chicago, 1t is the purpose of General Agent Wood and MT. Roesler to place it in the large room formerly used for the railroad eating house. where it will be made an attraction to all visitors, and especially to those passing through on the tranis, who may use the few minutes the trains stop in most pleasant way hy view ing tine grand display.
