To Refer Prohibition.
oecial to Independent.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Nov. 1.At a meeting of the Arkansas Anti Saloon League held here yester- day, attended by forty members from all parts of the state, re solution was adopted favoring the initiation of a statewide pro- hibition measure for the general election of 1912. It was a sense of the meeting that the proposi- tion be presented to the various denominations of the state by the executive committee, and their corporation urged for car rying on the work.
 It is probable that the prepar- tion of the petitions will not be- gin until after the next meeting |of the League which will be held in January, and then a systemat- ic canvass of the state is to be made. It is the purpose of the committee to secure as large a petition as practicable to show the strength of the prohibition element of the state, and they |estimate that it will be possible Ito secure the signatures of a ma |jority of the voters.
 Senator T. J. Raney of New lark was temporary chairman of the meeting and Col. George Thornburg of Little Rock was permanent chairman.

Fire Caused Complications

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Nov. 1.-By req son of the fire which last week destroyed the court house at Des Arc, with all the tax books and other records, the people o1 Prairie county will not be re |quired to pay taxes on the new assessment, made for this year The reason is that there is no re cord of that assessment. County JudgeE. R. Screeton and Circuit Clerk R. J. Hodges called upon Gov. Donaghey and Attorney General Norwood yesterday tc discuss the subject, and ascer' tain some means of getting out of the difficulty. They were ad- vised that there is nothing to be done but to extend the taxes or the tax books for 1910, which es- caped destruction, having beer kept in another place. This was suggested as the better plan, ra. ther than to defer this years taxes. which would require the collection of two years taxes al |one time.

Mrs. Laura Cowles Boswell.

Mrs. Laura COwles Boswell. On Wednesday morning at II o'clock, November first, there passed from life the sweet spirit }of Laura Cowles Boswell, aged { IT years, at the family home on Elm street.
 Although Mrs. Boswell had been in failing health for the past several years, and some times her life would almost be despaired of, yet her wonderful vitality and endurance brought her through many severe sick spells, but not until Tuesday ev- ening did it become apparent to Eher family and friends that the lend was near.
 | Surrounded by her loved ones and those bound in friendship who ministered to her every comfort to the last breath, she passed away as sweetly as one falling asleep.
 The deceased is survived by two daughters, Mrs. J. s. Will mans of this city and Mrs. J. O.. Taylor of Memphis.
 The funeral services will be held at St. Paul's church Thurs day afternoon at ? o'clock, con- ducted by the rector, Rev. J. B. Vann, burial following at Walnut Grove cemetery.
 Life of Deceased.
 In 1870 Mrs. Boswell with her two daughters came from her old home at Hanover county, Virginia to Jacksonport, where she made her home with her brother, Col. Franklin Boswell, deceased. By her bright intellect and genial nature, she soon be- came a leading spirit in the com munity of that old city and her home was social center of the town for the young people fol whom she had the keenest sym, pathy. A life long member of the Episcopal church. Her home was also the home of the bishop and other visiting clergy,
 In 1884 the family moved to Newport and joined the "Old Jacksonport Colony" which has ever held together in bonds of, friendship as one family. The deceased was a woman of rare intellect and to her last days her mind was as clear and bright as in her younger days. Her sweet. simplicity of life and manner, |na southerner of the old type, makes her absence all the more a loss, for her place is indeed vacant, but the world is richer for the legacy of a life like hers.

RECIPROCITY BILL IS
OPPOSED BY GRANGE
<
Farmers Organization Will Az
tempt to Defeat Treaty
With Canada.

New York.-The machinery OF the
National Grange. an organization
claiming q membership Of 100000
farmers in 80 states, has been started
to defeat the ratification by Congress

Grange at special meeting adopted
a resolution protesting against the
enactment of the reciprocity bill,
called upon the membership to exert
pressure upon representatives from
their various districts to vote against
the measure and decided to go to
Washington to map out campaign
there.
The legislative committee is COM
posed of Ex-Governor Nahum J. Bash
elder, of Concord. chairman; Aaron
Jones, of South Bend, Ind, and T. s.
Atkeson, Morgantown, w. Va. As
soon as the terms of the proposed
treaty became public they exchanged
kilograms, decided upon New York
as meeting place and left their
homes without delay, to head of any
possible campaign that might be
started for the bills enactment.
1--WE are not opposed to general
reduction of the tariff" Mr.. Atkeson
said. "but we are opposed to any re-
ciprocal treaty with country which
exports agricultural products almost
exclusively. =.
"hemove the tariff on steel and iron
and manufactured articles along with

tive tariff.

write his congressman. urging him to
vote against the bill.
