IMPORTANT DECISIONS.

The Minnesota supreme court has rem
dered two important decisions relating
to damages for industrial accidents. One
opinion entirely repudiates the hereto
fore understood assumption of risk on
the part of employees. and it is held that
employers must provide all possible
safeguards against accidents. The sec
ond decision eliminates the fellow serv-
ant rule as formerly interpreted. and
means that an employer is liable in the
event of an employe being injured on
account of the negligence or careless
ness of fellow employe. 1t is probable
that within the next three or four years
nearly every state in the union will have
equitable compensation laws for en-
ployes who may be injured or killed.

Delays in Election Returns

Every newspaperman and the general public in Arkansas would be benefited by change in election procedure which would do away with the present delay in securing returns.
 It is the same experience after every general and primary cleo tion, as has again been strongly emphasized within the past week the anxious public is forced to wait until the official returns are made, mailed to the state capital and there computed, before any thing like an accurate estimate can be made. Often it takes longer to arrive at election re- turns than it does for hen to produce family.
 Newspaper men of county seats, especially, are familiar with the situation produced by the present entire lack of pro. vision for getting election re- turns to the public at the time when they are most in demand In city precincts the results are available immediately after the count is finished as rule. But in country precincts, absolutely no systematic provision is made for bringing unofficial returns to the county seat along with the ballot boxes. The returns are locked in the boxes not to be opened until the county election board meets to canvass the re. turns, anytime within ten days, and unless the bearer of the box es makes it his business to bring memorandum of the count. which happens only semi-occas- ionally, it is impossible to cast up the election returns in any one county.

Vote for Amendment No. 10 Increases

Little Rock. Sept. 17.-Com- plete returns from 30 counties, giving the vote on the amend
 mendments and governor, show AmendmentsNo. 10, providing for the initiative and referendum, to have 35,096 votes, while the total vote for governor in these coun- ties is 53,978. A total of 26, ,990 votes would be majority of the total vote for governor in the 30 counties and Amendment No. 10 leads that amount by 8,106.
 In the same 30 counties A. mendment No. II, exempting money invested in cotton manu- facture from taxation, is 1,1O6 behind the majority for governor. Figures in addition to those re- ceived by the Gazette up to a late hour last night assure the adop- tion of Amendment No. 10, but the fate of Amendment No. II is still in doubt. Thus far the vote is very close on that measure.

Court House Removal Lost

The removal of the court house from Washington to Hope, around which centered the chief interest in the election last Monday. brought out the largest vote in the histo ry of the County, and so close was the contest that not un til the official count was made yesterday could it be determined who had won or lost. The fig. ures, as secured by the Star by telephone just before going to press yesterday afternoon, were:
 For Removal, PITS.
 Against Removal, 2277.

 Ernest Summers, logger for the Ozan mill was badly scalded about noon today by attempting to pass in front of the steam blow pipe of the saw mill boiler. Sum imers, who lives six miles west of Prescott, had just driven up to the mill with a load of logs, and had followed the scaler to the wagon, when in attempting to pass in front of the blow pipe, he went too close, and was drawn in front of the escaping steam, which inflicted serious burns from his waist to his feet. Med ical attention, however, soon eased his suffering, and he is re- lported as not being in very crit ical condition.

AMERICAN CRACKERS.
Pilot Bread the First Variety Mads q
the United States.

Pilot Bread the First Variety Made a.
the United 9tatss
The first cracker produced in the
United States. 30 far as known, was
pilot or ship bread, a large. round,
clumsy. crisp affair, which supplied
the demand Of the merchant marine
for an article Of food that would. I'M
like ordinary bread, keep for a pro-
longed period.
Later another variety was origi.
mated. the cold water cracker, which
differed from the first chiefly in its
smaller size, more compact texture
and greater hardness. For a long time
these two were the only goods known
to the trade.
They were both made Of unleavened
dough mixed and kneaded by hand.
and the crackers were rolled out and
shaped separately before being placed,
one at a time, on long handled sheet
iron shovel or peel and transferred in
order to the floor of the oval shaped
tile oven then in use. 1t was not until
some time later that raised or fer
mented dough was used in the manu-
facture Of crackers, and It Is only
within the past three-quarters Of
century that any great variety has
been produced. Baker, Weekly.

to the female mind, and I soon fell
asleep again, but only to awake with
still stronger impression that the jewel
was actually in my hands. So curious
were my sensations that on my maid
entering NY room at 8 O'Clock told
her of the two dreams, most infinitely
describing the ring. and l also asked
my husband to bear witness to the
statement should anything follow to
confirm the dream.
