DEPOT
COST $4,000
New Building Will be Con
ssstructed Of Brick and
Final Plans Are Now
Practically Complete

Following the announcement
contained in Yesterdays Demo-
crat that the St. Louis, Iron
Mountain and Southern Railroad
Company has decided to erect a
passenger station in Prescott in
keeping with the Importance of
the city, General Superintendent
NJ. M. Richey, of the company,
yesterday after noon stated to a
member of the Democrat staff
in his private car attached to
train No. 6, on route to Little
Rock from the diamond fields,
that the station will cost upward
SIS. 900, and that it will be COM
posed of brick stone trimmings.
This announcement from the
general superintendent goes
more into detail than that which
he made in the opera house at
Prescott on Friday night. The
Iron Mountain came in for a
great deal of rather good-natured
roasting at the hands of promi-
nent Prescott people, and it was
Former Congressman T. c. Nc.
Rae that city who declared that
he and the fire department of
Prescott had protected carefully
the old shack which has done
duty for passenger station
there for years while business
buildings have burned down all
around it and that he thought it
is now time for the company to
build a station.
In most embarrassing posi-
ton Colonel Richey made a short
speech, replete with argument as
to why the company had not
done anything for Prescott in
this line and winding up with the
statement that as Little Rock
had gained greatly by waiting 10
years for Union Station Pres
colt would also gain, and that
the company has determined up
On a new station and that the
inal plans are now practically
ready.
Yesterday afternoon Colonel
Richey added to this statement
10 the effect that he believes the
present year will see the station
completed.

 LIVED 23 YEARS WITH BROKEN NECK

Muskogee, Okla., Sept. S.-Pro- claimed throughout the world as the only man living with a broken neck, Bernard Baldwin, one of the first settlers of Oklahoma, but now of Texas, is in Muskogee, stopping at the Katy Hotel.
 Baldwin is worth fortune, his smile when asked about his wealth, will tell you that, and that he made it all in exhibiting himself before the greatest physicians and specialists in the world. For fourteen years he was the guest of the leaders of the medical world abroad. One physi- elan has offered him $10,000 for his body when he dies.
 Bones Never Knit.
 Baldwin declares that every phy- sician who has examined him has de- clared that he has no idea how he lives. But Barney Baldwin does live and although he is getting along in years he is hale and hearty. His head is held in place upon his shoul- ders by brace or harness. The bones of his neck never have knit.

Mayor Seidel, the Socialist mayor of Milwaukee, has made big mis- take by refusing to serve on the to welcome Col. Roosevelt to the city of Milwaukee, and while he has not hurt MT. Roosevelt, in the least, he has shown that he has a large streak of narrowness, ignorance of the duties of the head of great city like his and a vast amount of his long-eared ancestors blood in him yet. His action will also go far to prove the claims made by many that Socialism is of foreign birth and has no place in America. His personal feeling should be laid aside on such occasions.

THE TIME KILLER,

Oh, time hung heavy on my hands, for I had naught to do; the hour glass dripped it's sluggish sands as slow as flowing glue, And so I said: This sad life wends like leaden- footed whales; and so I'll call my friends, and tell them merry tales. It may relieve this heart of, mine, and pass an hour away, and make the sun of gladness shine on lives too dark and gray ] called upon ? 5usy man and told an anecdote; he left his chair and blithely ran and seized me by the coat, and pushed me sally through the hall, and kicked mo down the stairs, anl made remarks concerning gall, and pelted me with chairs. I sat upon the pavement tt en, and muscd iI sombcr strain: Though l would h,s.s ms fellow men my work seems all in vain. I try to cheer the gloomy town, and work the sunshine graft, yet people simp-
 ly drop me down the elevator shaft
 There surely must be something
 wrong with optimistic stunts, for

 nearer simply hunts for clubs and
 bricks and things like those where ! with, to pound my head, and break my back and spoil my clothes, and leave me two-thirds-dead.' The cop l who helped me to arise remarked i: You're slugged again? Take my | advice my friend; be wise-don t bother busy men.

municipalities, to legislate upon mat ters pertaining exclusively to their own affairs that shall in no wise con- travene the state constitution or sta tutes enacted under it.
 Fr ten years there has been law in Illinois to the effect that "On a written petition signed by p per cent of the registered voters of an incor- porated town, village, city, township, county or school district, or ten per cent of the registered voters of the state, it shall be the duty of the pro- per election officers in each case to submit any question of public policy so petitioned for the electors of the incorporated town, village, city, township, county, school district, or state, as the case may be, at any gen. eral or special election named in the petition"
 This is a modified Initiative and Referendum.
 In Arkansas for number of years the people have voted on Unit ed States senator advising the legis- lature of their wishes.
 Here also we vote on saloon license road tax, sale of wine, constitutional amendments, etc.
 The litter is a kind of referendum. with this difference that it is initiat- ed by the legislatures, and not by the people.
 The Initiative and Referendum is simply therefore a device to enable the people to legislate Independent of the legislature.

DON'T BREAK DOWN.

Severe strains on the vital organs. like strains on machinery, cause break-downs. You can't over-tax stomach. liver, kidneys, bowels or nerves without serious danger to yourself. If you are weak or run down, or under strain of any kind. take Electric Bitters the matchless. tonic medicine. Mrs. J. E. Van de sande, of Kirkland. III. writes:
 That did not break down, while enduring a most severe strain, for three months, is due wholly to Elec- tric Bitters.'' Use them and enjoy health and strength. Satisfaction positively guaranteed. soc at all druggfsts.

BRYAN GIVES
 HIS REASONS Why the People Should Make Their Own Laws
 When Necessary.
TRUST THE PEOPLE"
Cites Other States as Examples and Says l. and R. VIII Help
 the Officials.

We judge big questions by the way common sense is applied to the little ones. Take the Tilden-Hayes board of arbitration-eight Republicans consci- entiously voting on every question touching on the principles of that party, and seven Democrats conscien- tiously voting on everything Demo- cratic. These 40 lawyers and Judge Rose, having expressed themselves against the principles of the amend ment. Even if their construction is fair, still no harm can come, as no one wants the measure in a vicious form. The very amendment itself gives the people the power to correct it after it is passed. The legislature cannot change the constitution, but now the people cannot change it without the legislatures consent, The people should have this right to ini- tiate, but this power the lawyers are now trying to prevent them from as- suming. They do not want us to have a referendum unless 20 repre. sentatives and ten senators ask for it. They ask for a per cent of citi- zens on the petition, but leave the per centage blank for squabbling over. They themselves cannot agree on the number of people who should join ip the petition for referendum They do not agree, or they do not want you to know what per cent they favor l want to save you from fur. ther contest. I want to prevent thia measure being thrown back before the legislative body. These lawyers are not content to quibble over three words, not content to make the ref. erendum depend on members of the legislature, not content with leaving indefinite number of citizens to join in the petition, but claim the United States supreme court would not per- init us to have the law because they allege it is against the representative form Of government.
 View of the AristOcrat.
 This is the view of the aristocrat They think the people only have sense enough to elect people to Fot. for them. l deny the theory that the people delegate representation unless the power of speaking is giy- en. The people are the power and they can delegate a portion or all and they can say in what form. Tn. demand for the initiative and referen dunn is not without reason. The peo- pie don't act until there is a neces. sity for it. The people are long suffering and are naturally conserya tive than the men who serve then. Don't be afraid to trust the people. When they ask for a change it is on- ly after they have found they mus. have it. It is to protect them from the men whom they elect and em- bezzle power. The legislator neve!. sets so far from home the people can forget. I have seen many legisla- tors who go so far they forget their constituents, though, I have seen al- derr'en forget in a week from sub urbs to city hall, and sell out on the of graft in New York, Chicago and Pittsburg. What chances are there to select men who will be true to their trust?''

THE I. AND K. AMENDMENT.

So many people are asking for an explanation of Amendment No. 10 that we give the following from the Arkansas Democrat, which is about the most explicit we have seen:
 The Standard Dictionary says:
 INITIATIVE-The power of initiat- ing; ability to originate or start; specifically the right to propose leg islative projects.
 REFERENDUM-T submission of a proposed public measure or law, which has been passed upon by the Peoples representatives in the leg islature or convention, to vote of the people for ratification or rejec- tion; as, a referendum on a proposed constitution, or constitutional amend ment; in Switzerland, the referendum N, under certain conditions, q con- stitutional right Of the people in re= spect to acts of legislation.
 ~ 1NITIATIvE-power of commenc ing. Nj rE1
 The Code of the Peoples Rule says - INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM Whereby the people can initiate (start) and enact laws they do want if the legislature fail, or veto laws they do not want (by referendum) if the legislature pass offensive or obnoxious laws.
 Amendment Mo- 10, submitted by the Arkansas legislature to be voted on next Monday, provides that the people of Arkansas shall have the power to initiate by petition proposed legislation, and enact the same inde- pendent of the legislature or the governor, and that upon petition they may also vote upon any measure that may be passed by the legisla- ture if it be considered undesirable.
 Amendment No. 10, if adopted, does not provide the machinery for
  the proposed system of direct legisla- tion, but the perfected statues vital- izing the Constitution in this respect, to quote Senator Robert l.. Owen, of Oklahoma, must then be enacted by the legislature, which shall set ho 1T be done.
 AS a matter of fact, the Initiative and Referendum, in some form or other, is in force in almost every state of the Union, in some much more than in others, and in all more and more each year.
 The system in Oregon is very com- plex and yet it's advocates claim that it has been found to work smoothly.
 The Oklahoma system, framed later than that of Oregon, is claimed by Senator Owen. to be an improvement upon it. <, s ia
 When certain per cent of the vot CTS object to some legislative act, and petition to governor for it's re. ference to popular vote, for their rejection or approval, the governor shall order such election as set forth under the statute.
 In similar manner, the people may petition for the ordering of an election upon some question not or iginating in the legislature, and their action upon it shall be final and in- dependent of the legislature or the governor. .... ..=.5 ESsgW
 There are many details to be work ed out in the application of this law. In Oklahoma and Oregon the state prints arguments of limited length on both sides of proposition to be circulated as public documents.

FARM NOTES.

When the ground is frozen Is
good time to apply manure TO 'ne
meadows
Activity and intelligence are neces
sary characteristics of a good farm
horse.
No improbable animals should De
kept on the farm any longer IMAM
necessity requires.
Study for better management ana
make things run smoother and pet
ter for all concerned.
Rotation of crops makes all the
crops which grow upon the field better
for the course of years.
With all classes of stock, animals
that are uniform in age and size VIII
feed and fatten more evenly.
Diversified diet is no more certain
of best results in man, than In the
animals man thrives so largely upon.
A horse that is not working nara
every day does not require the
amount of grain one does that is kept
busy.
To get good results from any en-
terprise you must have good mate
rial to begin with or your labor Will
be in vain
The productiveness and profitable
ness of the farmers business depends
almost entirely OH intelligent man
agement.
The man who never held to any
business is always the one to invest
when prices are high; and sell out
when prices are low.
