in Louisiana.


Guilty as charged was the verdict

THE LIONS ROAR.
An Appalling Sound That Brings
Terror to the Traveller.


Terror to the Traveller.
Once in the lion country your learn
the real reason why he is termed the
king of beasts He looks it, Be
sides, there is the terror he casts
over all the brute creation about
him. And as for terror, there is one
feature of life in East Africa that
the traveller never forgets-the lion S
roaring. To me no other sound in
nature is more awe-inspiring, more
appalling, especially if heard at real
ly close range or among hills, where
the echo >resounds in it's rolling
double bass. Contrary to the COM
mon idea, lions do not confine their
thunderous calls to the night only.
Frequently in open daylight one may
be startled by sudden outburst.
They are noisy lot, too. At night
have heard a band keep up the
dire chorus for hours at time, a.
bloOd-curdling concert that brings to
mind every tale, fanciful or true, of
their daring, of their fierce rapacity
and might. 1t seems, still further,
to have an added dreadfulness
when one is lying within the frail
walls of tent, with only its canvas
between one and the formidable mu-
stefan.
Listen now! There goes one
booming in the distance, a roaring
obligato that breaks into from six
to a dozen calls. From the first to
the fourth the volume usually in
creases; then it dies down. At very
close quarters one hears the roar
melt gradually into a purr, itself
diminishing to a growing discon-
tented humble that lasts for about
half minute, or there is the other
Sound, equally menacing-a soft and
suggestive crunching noise, as
though the beast had already settled
to a grewsome meal. The lions
voice is mighty, as mighty as his
strength. Forget his habits, his love
of carrion and his daylight turn of
cowardice and you have the impress
sion of a king of beasts-a real roy
atty along the brute creation. -Ev-

Strange sights! strange sounds! O

Its memory haunts me still,

RATE HEARING
 GOES SLOWLY

Little Rock, April 27.-The taking of dispositions in the rate litigation continues, but from the present speed, it will require the state several weeks to complete it's testimony. A. C. Bragg, manager of the Little Rock Traffic Bureau, for many years and Iron Mountain employee and at one time the highest freight official of the Iron Mountain in this section of the state, was all day Tuesday on the stand. He testified to the inequality of rates, and the apparent lack of reason for the difference made in the cIassifcations and weights by the railroads. He testified that rates were made without the regard for the cost of train operation in most cases. All the afternoon the witness under went very close cross examination by Col. J. H. Moore, attorney for the railroads. The questions were so near alike in many instances it ap- peared as though the attorneys were endeavoring to lose the witness in a tangle of techicalities, but he refused to be led from facts which had been under his observation for years. To- day Rate Expert Wilmering of the the Oklahoma expert is completed in with Attorney General West is at tending the hearing The state will put on experts of the Arkansas Com mission if the cross exeamination of the Oklahoma expert is completed in time.

IMPROVEMENT
 BOARD RESISTS CONTROVERSY IN COUNCIL ALDERMEN ADJOURN FOR ONE WEEK TO THINK OVER THE
 PROPOSITION.

An hours discussion of the man. agement of the Conway light plant was the principal feature of last nights session of the city council, although the council transacted an unusually large amount of other busi- ness and took radical steps to con duct the city's finances along more business-like principles. The electric light plant matter was postponed for definite action at special meeting of the council to be held next Tuesday night, when the question as to wheth- CT the plant shall be operated by the present improvement board or the city council will probably be settled.
 All members of the council were present last night, and the new or ganization rapidly got down to busi- ness. A resolution was adopted fix ing the second and fourth Tuesday nights as the regular times for meet ing of the council, and the judiciary committee was instructed to prepare and submit regular order of busi- ness to be adopted by the council.
 The finance committee reported the claims for election expenses amount ing to $42.25 correct, with the excep- tion of the fees allowed the deputy sheriffs, which were 50 cents more all hxr 1axu and thn 1ai was paid with this correction. Other accounts for street work, tiling, street crossings, etc., amounting to total of $223.10 were presented and allow ed and a claim of Halter Bros. for street crossings was referred to the mayor and the chairman of the finance committee to be adjusted.
 The judiciary committee was in- structed to report at the next meeting on the advisability of having the city ordinances digested, the present di- gest being over 10 years old.
 The finance committee reported the treasurers and marshals reports cor rect

The re- port in full is as follows:
 Honorable City Council of the City of Y Conway, Arkansas:
 We, your committee on finances, beg leave to report to you that since
The log cabin Democrat., 1910-04-27
COUNCIL COMMITTEE REQUESTS
 TRANSFER OF LIGHT PLANT

since our appointment on this com mittee we have been investigating somewhat the manner in which the finances of the city of Conway have been handled in the past and have given some time and thought to the proper methods for doing this in the future. We regret to say that we find that in the past the finances of the city have been handled Tn a loose and careless manner. There has been no record of any kind kept which the taxpayer could consult and ascertain definitely what disposition had been made of the funds of the city. In making this statement we do not in- tend to reflect upon any of the otfl- cers of the city in the past, for We believe that the money of the town has been honestly spent and the offi- cers in the past have simply followed out the custom of their predecessors. But our city has now attained such size that we believe We should put its affairs upon a strictly business basis and keep books for it just as a mer- chant or any other business man would do. We make the following suggestions:
 First. That before any accounts against the city be paid they should be sworn to by the person to whom 1t is owing; and that there should be an endorsement upon each account by the finance committee that the ac count has been examined by that com mittee and found to be correct. In order to facilitate the work of the finance committee, we would recom- mend that whenever the mayor, mar shal or street improvement commit tee makes any contract or purchases a memorandum of the contract or purchases should be filed with the re- corder so that when the account to cover same is presented the finance committee it can obtain from the re- corder the memorandum made by the city officer in the matter and in this way check the account. This memOr- andum should, of course, show the prices and all necessary details in re- gard to the contract or purchase.
 Second We recommend that the recorder should keep a ledger in which should be shown the accounts of the various departments of the city, so that the cost of each depart ment of the city work can be ascer- tained definitely.
 Third. We recommend that the re- corder also keep an account of the city's receipts and expenditures, and would suggest in this connection that all funds of every kind received by any officers of the city be immediate ly paid over to the treasurer and that the treasurer be charged by the re- corder with all sums that he may re- ceive by way of taxes, fines, licenses and street work, and otherwise; and that as the treasurer pays out these funds upon warrants, the recorder can credit the amount of the treasur- CT with such payment. Under the system that has been in vogue during the past there has been no account whatever kept with the treasurer. The treasurer simply keeping his own books and filing reports therefrom.
The log cabin Democrat., 1910-04-27

We are quite sure that the city has never lost any funds under this meth | cd, but we do not think that it is quite proper to handle the city's finances in this way.
 Fourth. In regard to the street work, we find that this has not been handled in a very systematic manner in the past. We would suggest that the mayor be instructed to make up list showing the names of each per son in the city of Conway liable to street duty each year and this list, of course, would give the total amount that might be collected from these parties by way of labor or cash; and upon the approval of this list by the council, the marshal should be charg ed with the total amount of it. Then as labor was performed by the part ies the marshal should file certif- cates to that effect from time to time and upon their approval by the coun- cil the marshal should be credited on his account with the amount of same and as the marshal collects money for street work he should at once turn over this money as it is collected to the treasurer of the city, taking the treasurer's receipt therefor; and up on the presentation and approval of tb c11ror'c raoairtc tho n re a should be credited with the amount thereof Then, in order that no in- justice be done to the marshal, if at the close of the year it appears that there were good and sufficient req sons for him not collecting money or obtaining labor from any person shown on the list, the council could credit him with that also.
 Fifth. We would recommend that all time checks for labor done on the streets should be signed by the mar shal and countersigned by the chair man of the street and alley commit tee, before payment.
 tolALH. we WOulO ItSolllfllCIIu OlioI the mayor report monthly all fines assessed by him and that the amount of these fines be charged to the mar shal and the marshal can be credited upon presentation of his receipt for same from the treasurer of the city. And we would also recommend that < T lyn n.st of all licenses collected by him and that he should be charged with the amount thereof and credited upon presentation of the treasurer's re- ceipt therefor
 Seventh. We recommend that the ] recorder be instructed to purchase suitable filing cases in which to file all reports, contracts, vouchers, war rants, etc., of the city in a systematic manner, so that same can be readily inspected by the various officers of the city of by any citizen at any time. And we would also recommend that the recorder be instructed to buy a | suitable ledger and books for keeping | the accounts of the city and to open up these accounts at once under the direction of the finance committee.
