The Hartford Herald has adopted
a new rule in regard to Obituaries,
Resolutions of Respect, Cards of
Thanks, &C., whether written at the
the behest of lodges, churches or in
dividuals, and that is, We shall
charge at the rate of two cents per
line for all such articles, except obit-
uary poetry, which will be one cent
per word, straight This is the small
est rate we charge for anything and
is only one-fifth of our regular rate.
The amount, in cash or stamps,
must accompany each article, or
it will not be printed. Six
words average a line in ordi-
nary reading and every separate
character or initial letter counts as
word. The heading and the sig
nature both count one line each,
even if they are only word or two.
All obituary poetry, straight
through, one cent per word.
Our old rule in regard to Obitua-
ries, &C. was $50 words free, balance
cent a word, but this did not prove
satisfactory because the bounds were
almost always overstepped, and we
have been forced to adopt this new
rule, which is in effect from now on

PROSPECTS GOOD
 FOR LARGE YIELD
ALL CROPS, ESPECIALLY COTTON, HAVE BEEN BENEFITED BY
 REGENT RAINS.
Planters Are Going After inc Boil Weevils in Scientific
 Manner.

Little Rock-While crops are much improved as a result of the recent rains, many reports are that more rain is being needed, and that some Of the crops will suffer unless rains come within the next few days
 Cotton has responded more readily to the recent rains than any of the other crops, but in some places the plant is beginning to suffer for want of moisture. Early corn has been cut short but better crop will be made in most parts of the state than of last week came. Late corn is grow ing well. and a good yield is expected.
 Cotton in many portions of the state is being damaged to some cX- tent by the boil weevil. However. the farmers are using scientific and drastic methods of eXterminating the pests, and the damage is not expect cd to be heavy from their ravages- All the squares that have been punc- tured by the weevil and have fallen from the plant as result are being picked up and burned.
 The majority of the reports show that in most parts of the state pros- poets for big yield of both cotton and corn are flattering. It is predict, ed by farmers who are well informed that bumper crop of cotton will be made, in spite of the boil weevil.

YOUMANS DECIDES
 ORDINANCE VOID
CANNOT COLLECT LICENSE FROM SALESMEN REPRESENTING
 OUT OF STATE HOUSES.
Affects Whole State-Judge Says Such Laws Are Interference With
 Interstate Commerce.

Fort Smith.-The first ruling in the western district of Arkansas federal court by Judge Youmans was made iu a case in which every city and incor. porated town in Arkansas is interest. ed, as it affects the right of cities and towns to levy license tax upon itiner- ant distributors of merchandise from without the state.
 Judge Youmans ruled that such levy, when sought to be made upon representative of mercantile house outside the state, was an in- terfsrence with interstate commerce. and illegal.
 The ruling was in a case in which w. Genung, representing a mercantile house of Kansas City, had been ar rested and fined s10 on charge of failing to comply with the peddlers' license ordinance of Fayetteville. and in which defendants counsel had ap- piled for and been granted a writ of habeas corpus by the federal district court of Arkansas under the inter- state commerce law.
 Genung had solicited an order of goods of a Fayetteville citizen, had forwarded the order to the Kansas City house, which had forwarded the goods to Genung, who had delivered them to the purchaser and received the first payment. The goods were sold for $10 on the monthly payment basis. The Fayetteville justice held Genung guilty of peddling without license and fined him. Genung re- fused to pay the fine and was com mitted to jail.
 The decision of Judge Youmans holds that the Fayetteville court was without jurisdiction, the transaction having been an interstate one, and ordered the release of the prisoner. The decision is in line with the con- tention that the state anti-peddling statute is void on the ground of inter state commerce.

Advance Money for State Litigation.

Several weeks ago Attorney Gen. eral Norwood commenced to arrange with the attorney general of Okla. homa for submission to the supreme court of the United States, suit to settle the controversy over strip of land near Fort Smith, witch was formerly a part of the Indian Terri tory, but over which congress has ceded jurisdiction to the state of Ar kansas. About the time the attorney general of Oklahoma had agreed to meet Attorney General Norwood in Fort Smith the appropriation for the attorney generals department was vetoed and MT Norwood had to with draw from the agreement. Since that time citizens living in Fort Smith who are anxious that Arkansas and not Oklahoma should receive the tax es on the property situated on this strip of land have communicated with MT. Norwood and agreed to ad- vance the necessary funds to pay the expenses of this litigation. Arrange ments will be now be made to insti- ute the necessary suit to settle this controversy.

First County Settlement.

The first complete settlement made by a county in Arkansas with the state auditor was that of Lonoke county, when Deputy Collector J. C. Goodrum Jr., under Sheriff T. M. Fletcher, paid into the state treasury $40, ,430.26. Of this amount $10,4S1.92 was placed to the credit of the gen eral revenue fund, other funds being credited with the following amounts: Public school, $17,696; Confederate pension, $S,9S450; state capitol, $2,- 994.S4. MT. Goodrum states that the collections in Lonoke county this year have been very satisfactory notwithstanding the taxes were paid later than usual. Under the law col lectors are not required to make final settlements with the state treasurer until on or before the second Monday in July. Usually the collectors be- gin making their settlements during the first week in July. The Lonoke settlement this year is far in advance of those usually made by the collect or of other counties.

TERRIBLE TRAGEDY AT CORNING
An Ex-Preacher Kills His Wife and
 StepSon.

Corning. before in the his- tory of Corning or Clay county hes there been enacted such a horrible tragedy as was the one enacted in East Corning, at the home of H. D. Wilson, a former preacher. As re- suit of the tragedy, one person is dead and another lies mortally wounded from bullets from 38-calibre revolver. The victims are the wife of Wilson, who is fatally wounded. and Allie Maynard, Wilson's stepson. who is dead. It seems that Wilson came home in an intoxicated condition and began to abuse his wife, finally throwing a pot of boiling coffee into her face. Wilson was arrested, but at once made bond and was released. He immediately returned to his home and began to abuse his wife and fam fly, and in the meantime young May hard came in and tried to appease the infuriated man, but matters grew worse and Wilson drew his revolver and fired at young Maynard, the ball penetrating the lower part of the ab- domen, causing his death a few hours later. Wilson then shot his wife in the head behind the ear Wilson was again arrested and spirited out of town to prevent lynching.

State Capitol 1 News Notes
PROPOSES TO MAKE A FIGHT ON EXPRESS COMPANIES
 IN ARKANSAS.
Norwood Will Prosecute Charges of Exorbtant Rates and Trust
 Providence for Costs.

Attorney General Norwood has just received from the printer copies of the complaint of state of Arkansas on the relation of the Attorney Gen eral vs. the Adams Express Company, American Express Company, Great Northern Express Company, North ern Express Company, Pacific EX- press Company, Southern Express Company, United States Express Company, Wells Fargo Express Com pany and Western Express Company, which he will file before the inter- state commerce commission. The complaint sets out the express rate between more than 100 points in Ar kansas and the principal cities and markets of the other states and ai- leges that the rates and charges as set forth and the classifications and exceptions applicable thereto are un- just, unreasonable and in violation of section l of the act to regulate com merce; that said rates are unjustly discriminatory between shippers To- cated in Arkansas and shippers To- cated in other states of the United States, shipping to the same destina- tion, in violation of sections 3 and 4 of the act to regulate commerce.
 The complaint prays that the inter- state commerce commission require the express companies to cease such violation and that the commission prescribe just and reasonable rates.
 The complaint specially sets out the express rates charged upon fruits and vegetables shipped from Arkansas points, upon which reductions are | asked.
 Attorney General Norwood stated that for quite a while there have been numerous complaints against the eA- orbitant rates charged by express companies, especially upon fruits and | vegetables. He states that he knows | of numerous instances where the pro- | oeeds from the sale of such ship ments do not pay the express. Some time ago Attorney General Norwood associated with him in this matter Luther NJ. Walter of Chicago, who was for ten years one of the special counsel for the interstate com merce commission.
 At the time Mr. Norwood and his associates commenced the preparation of this suit it was thought there would be an appropriation for the at | torney generals office to pay the eX- penses connected with this character of litigation. MT. Norwood says that since all the necessary data has been obtained for the filing of these ssits he has concluded to file the suits and endeavor to raise the money some where to prosecute it.
 MT. Walter was associated with Mr. Norwood in the suit against the Pullman company, which was tried before the interstate commerce com mission in Chicago last December which resulted in the reduction of 20 per cent on all upper berths and numerous special reductions upon all lower berths.
