MORE LIABILITY
TO BE ASSUMED
Railroad Companies to Increase
Protection to Travellers
Personal Property.
RAISE FROM 500 TO $500
Trans-Pacific Passengers Are Favor.
ed-Uniform Regulations to be
Effective Jan. 1.

New rules for checking baggage
and uniform liability for personal
property probably will become effec-
tive on all the railroads Jan. l at
The latest. Working with the inter-
state commerce commission, officers
of all roads in the country have
reached a point where an agreement
Tor uniform rules and regulations is
in sight.
The principal change will be in
raising the railroad liability for bag
gage values. Under the present con-
tract with passengers the transpor
tation lines assume a maximum
value of 500 for checked baggage.
Mercantile interests of the country
have petitioned railroads to increase
this liability TO $500 or $500, and
this probably will be done, that is
the higher figure may be agreed
upon.
Under the new rules there is an
apparent discrimination on the part
of trans-Pacific passengers, who will
be allowed to check twice as much
baggage as a passenger travelling to
points in this country; that is, a
person going from here to Honolulu
will be allowed $50 pounds of bag
gage for full ticket and 175 pounds
for a half fare, compared with $50
pounds to a full ticket and rs
pounds for half, allowed a passen-
ger between Chicago and San Fran
cisco.
No Explanation for Difference.
There is no concession to persons
holding transatlantic tickets, the
apparent discrimination running only
70 those who cross or sail the Pa
cif1c. Railroad men do not give any
explanation for the difference in al
iowance.
Another feature Of the rule is that
The railroads will accept baggage
and give checks for bicycles and tri-
cycles, but not for motorcycles Ami
mails of circuses, wild west shows or
similar entertainments, must be
shipped IS freight or express, but
there is no bar against domestic or
trained animals, providing they do
not exceed $50 pounds.
For years railroads have had their
own rules for handling baggage, but
the varying regulations of the diff
ferent roads caused so much trouble
to passengers that under the guild
ance of the commerce commission
railroads have drawn and adopted
uniform regulations. Nearly every
road in the country is a subscriber
10 the new rules.

MRS. AUSTIN IS
 FINALLY ACQUITTED
Case Attracted Large Crowd Tester. day and Larger Court Room Was Necessary-Three-Man Jury
 Reaches Verdict.

A three-man jury acquitted Mrs. R. l.. Austin of the charge of keeping an immoral house yesterday afternoon, when she was tried a third time at the instance of City Attorney w. B. Sorrells, who raided her house sev- eral days ago and made two young women, who were at the place during Mrs. Austin's absence, leave the house and later caused Mrs. Austins arrest. Four similar charges dock eted in Magistrate J. A. Frazier's court were dismissed by him immedi- ately after learning of the outcome of the third trial, which was heard by Magistrate w. D. Vance. Owing to the fact that so many curious ones gathered to hear the oft-repeated to accommodate the crowd in his small court room and he secured the court room at the City Hall.
 This room, though much larger than that of Judge Vance, was un- comfortably crowded when the case was called and the crowd was en- larged during the hearing. It was stated that an effort was made to se- cure the circuit court room at the court house for the hearing, but Judge Grace declined to permit the session to be held there
 The jurors were out about five min utes when they returned a verdict of mot guilty Two previous juries, which heard the case Tuesday and Wednesday, could reach no verdict and were discharged by Magistrate Frazier, before whom the testimony in the two previous hearings was reviewed

A Hurt Dog Tells

The best proof that an individual or company is meeting with success is shown by knocking and petty jeal- ousy on the part of competitors.
 It is the fellow that is not doing anything that never gets the knocks but he becomes specialist with the hammer. So when you hear a fel- low knocking, you can say he is a Hurt Dog-The other fellow has step- ped on his toes
 You will find this the case with professional men-Business Men and all others.
 The Insurance Business is no ex- ception.
 The Consolidated Casualty Com pany has begun to step on their toes and they are beginning to yell.
 At first they began to whine, now you can hear them yelping, on every corner. In fact they congregate and OLD TRAY YELPS and the LITTLE FIDOS bring in the chorus.
 When asked by the public why all this noise. Why we have new company in the field. We'll you have had them before. I have never heard you in such pain and agony as this.
 Yes, But-Well hold on, don't they pay their claims? Yes, that is the trouble and they, are offering a $1OO reward for proof of any unpaid just claim
 Well why don't you get that $1OO and quit knocking. I can't find an unpaid claim. Are they prompt in the settlement of claims. Yes, all the policyholder has to do is to have his physician fill claim blank and go to their office and receive drafts in full.
 We'll, if this is the case. I see no reason of so much unIwarranted knocking. We'll on the 0. T. am going to confess to you their policies are so liberal, and they give their policyholders such square deal, they are putting us out of business and we have to do this to hold some of our business. We feel encourag- ed over the above as our president assures us that knocking on the part of competitors means greater success

 No reason why any Pine Bluff read
 Should suffer in the face of evidence like this.

I also had a severe pain in my back and hips, was bothered by headaches and dizzy spells and could not sleep we'll. I finally heard of Doan's Kidney Pills, pro- cured supply from the Mann-Tan- kersley Drug Co.,, and began using them. By the time I had taken the contents of four boxes, was in good health. I occasionally use a box of Ooan's Kidney Pills, finding that they keep my kidneys in a normal condi- tion."

A MINOR STORM WAVE
Will Cross the Continent February II to

Washington, D. c., Feb. 26.-Last bull

22 to 20, cool wave IS to March I. This
was expected 10 be the radical disturb
ance of February, made up of warm
wave, a cold wave, heavy precipitation
with SHOWS and blizzards north and
from warm rains to sleet south.
Next disturbance will reach the Pa
cifc coast about March 2, cross Pacific
slope by close of 3, great central valleys
to 6, Atlantic sections 7. Warm wave
will cross Pacific slope about March 2
great central valleys 4, Atlantic sections
%. Cool wave will cross Pacific slope
about March 5, great central valleys I,
Atlantic sections 9.
This disturbance will be preceded by
unusually cold and stormy weather, will
cause great rise in temperatures with
rains an dsnows according to latitude
turning to dry, clearing and warm
weather. and then another plunge down
ward i'll temperatures.
But this cold wave following the dis
turbance will not be so severe as the
one preceding and precipitation will bt
very much less.
A minor storm wave will cross CONT
nent February ~ to March 3, but it will
be Of no great importance, and is not to
be classed with the regular disturbances
Another minor disturbance will cross
continent to II. 1t will cause more
threatening weather than the preceding
minor disturbance.
The worst severe weather of the
month will occur near March I, and Il
to II, and 80 to April l. Crop weather
of March is not promising. Not mucf
