school, we encourage them in
honesty and uprightness.
Third; The systems and meth
ods used. We use the famous
Byrne systems of Shorthand and
Bookkeeping, which enables us to
turn out a better bookkeeper or
stenographer in half the time and
at half the cost of other schools
teaching other systems. We have
the exclusive control of these sVs-
TENS in this state. Therefore, the
Byrne systems are case of sour
grapes to our competitors. The
fact that we turn out better
stenographers in three months
than they canlin six, should IL
terest the prospective student.
Read our catalog, see the indorse-
ments from, hundreds of students
and business men.
Fourth: Our ability to place you
in a good position with a respon-
sible firm. We realize that if we
hope to succeed, our students
must succeed; the greater their
success, the greater our success;
their success reflects credit upon
our institution and causes e*heir
friends to follow in their foot
steps. Other schools haven't the
advantages of our most modern
systems, therefore it is utterly
impos sible for them to make q
good stenographer or bookkeeper
of you in as short a time as we

Railroad Companies to Render
Assistance to Interested
Communities
CALLED TO SAINT LOUIS

The Commissioner ef Agricul-
ture for the Missouri Pacific
Railway system has been called
to st. Louis to arrange to further
develop the fruit industry in Ar
kansas.
The railroad company proposes
to render every assistance to the
communities whose people desire
to engage in the raising of straw
berries, sweet and Irish potatoes,
cgbbage. beans and other truck
crops in enabling them to get the
produce in rapid transit to the
markets.
California has shipped 2,744
carloads of cantaloupes this year
to the markets of the east, and
the management of the. railroad
company can seeno reason why
Arkansas can not get the lion
share of this trade, being so
much nearer, tosthe market, and
able to get their produce on the
market so1naulh quicker, andin
a better eondlt ton

GET RIFLE BULLET THRU
HEART.
Tragedy Was Committed During the
Absence of the Woman's Hus-
band--Cause of the Act
Is Unknown.

When S. w. Munden, a young far
mer residing about two miles north
of Midlothian, returned to his home
Wednesday morning about ten
O'Clock with load of wood he dis
covered the lifeless form OF his
young wife lying on the floor. A 22-
ealiber target rifle lying near the
body was the mute witness of ira
gedy that was enacted during Mr.
Munden's absence. A bullet from this
weapon had been fired through the
heart.
Mr.. Munden left home about $50
O'Clock 10 haul load of wood, Just
when Mrs. Munden fired the shot
that ended her life is not known, but
the act was committed some time
during the absence of her husband.
When he returned home and opened
the door to enter the house he al
most stumbled over the body and
upon making an examination he was
Mortified to find that life was ex-
tinct. tiny trickle of blood told
where the deadly missile entered the
body.
Mrs Munden was about z or IS
years old and had been married to
Mr. Munden about two years. One
child had been born to the couple
and it died in infancy. The deceased
was the daughter of Neil Shaw, who
lives in Midlothian. An inquest over
the body was held by the justice OF
8
sage was found that would give any
reason for the cause of the rash act
it was withheld from the public. The
burial took place at Midlothian
