PULASKI GRAND
JURY RECONv[NFS

Little Rock, June 5.-The Pulaski
county grand jury reconvened this
morning after short recess and dur
ing the week will devote some little
time to testimony which might throw
some light upon the alleged boodling
n the senate. There are a large num-
Der of witnesses to appear before the
grand jury in this connection, but
from the nature of their connections
with the senate, it is hardly probable
they will be in position to give the in
luisitorial body any facts sufficient to
result in indictments. 1t is now known
that the grand jury secured absolute
iy nothing from A. G. Little, who
made the charges which caused Prose
,uting Attorney Robert l.. Rogers TO
begin the investigation. 1t is freely
predicted that no indictments will be
found in connection with boodling.

Drainage District is being held at the
courthouse this afternoon. The term

TO OUR CUSTOMERS.

We certainly appreciate your pa
tronage and thank you for same, bit
if you will assist US we can give all
better and prompter service. If you
saw an ambulance you would readily
get out of the way The delivery man
may have several sick customers be-
yond you, so they are more important.
Don't think it is right to stop two men
and wagon heavily loaded for 5
cents for of ice and have some de-
livered. While they stand the load
loses on other customers more than
you have bought. The 5 and 10-cent
customers kick more in one day than
the 25 and 50-cent customers have in
four years of our experience. Ice is
not luxury, nor should you look on
the ice man as you do on the tax col
lector. That is, beat the taxes when
you can, then growl at the collector
when you can't. This is what the
general public thinks deep down in the
sub-consciousness of its composite
mind. Ice is one of the most indis-
pensable things that goes into any
ones home-a food and health pre-
server, consistent reducer of the
bills of the grocer, the butcher and the
milk man, as well as comfort-pro-
ducer.

TUESDAY, AUGUST 8, 1911


A GAME warden In Hudson displayed
commendable vigilance in enforcing new
law when he visited millinery store at
Union Hill on Wednesday night and
seized sixteen stuffed starlings that had
been prepared for adornment of feminine
headgear. The game warden acted by
authority of the new law forbidding the
sale or use Of plumage birds for millinery.
But apparently the police Of Union Hill
didn't know anything about the law, and
the game warden, threatened with a
charge Of larceny. had to appear In court
to justify himself, and found that the
court itself was obliged to take a week off
for study Of the law. But the neglect
Of the State to provide means of public
information about the seasonal laws Is
responsible for this ignorance Of the law,
which is common with all new statutes.
Many laws are dead-letter laws, because
police and public, and even judges, have
no knowledge of them. This ignorance,
which the State maintains by its neglect.
Is profitable to the lawyers and expensive
to the public. which has to seek lawyer
to find out what the law Isl 1t Is bad for
law enforcement Neaoark Star.
