 Trains.

New Rule Expected to Be Approved By Travelling Public-other
 Business Transacted.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 The use of the public drinking cups on trains and in railroad stations in Arkansas was abolished by an order of the Arkansas Railroad Commission, the order effective May l, 1912, The order was passed by unanimous vote of the commission, and has the approval of the railroads of the state and the state board of health,
 In making the order, the members of the commission said they believed it was a step in the right for the pre- vention of the spread of disease, which would receive the hearty en- dorsement of at least 95 per cent of the travelling public. The passage of the order means that after May l all persons travelling on trains in Arkan- sas will have to equip themselves with individual drinking cups.
 Such a rule is already in effect in all the adjoining states and in other states throughout the Union.
 Among a number of matters dis posed of by the commission was the granting of the petition requesting new passenger station and better freight facilities at Dermott.
 In the order the commission pro- vided that the plans for the structure, which must be an adequate passenger and freight depot, must be submitted June l, and that actual construction must begin not later than Sep tember 1.
 Other orders follow:
 Request for additional train service at Nuckles switch; denied
 Petition for small depot and care taker at Bolding; ordered. Construe ton nf depot to begin within 50 days. ~'-- stirio1 foi slosp.dg through fast
 IS at Tilden; denied
 tition from Artesian, formerly
 turing the Ouachita Valley ! railway and tine Rock Island railway to build a depot to be used jointly by both lines; granted, the construction of same to begin not later than June l.
 M The general complaints with refer fence to the violation of Order No. 354 Iof the commission, regulating the Heating of waiting rooms, providing | wholesome drinking water in same, he posting of all trains on bulletin | oards and the sanitary conditions in \ epots, were dismissed, With the un- I erstanding that hereafter when each complaint is filed nd the railroad is l1ound guilty. both the railroad com lpany and lhe agent will be subject to .he penalty provided. The superin- tendents were requested to notify tAeir agents of the action of the con- lnission.

UNCOMPAHGRE GETS
A new STEEL BRIDGE
OLD ONE WRECKED BY FLOOD
Remaining Parts of Oldest Bridge
in County Foot Seventh Street
Taken Out Monday.

The pioneer bridge of Delta coun-
ty, constructed across the Uncom-
pahgre river at the foot of Seventh
street in 1884, when this city was
but a mere hamlet, has disappear
ed from view and will be replaced
by a handsome steel bridge with
concrete abutments just as soon as
necessary arrangements can be made
by the board OF county commission
ers.
The old wooden bridge has with
stood the spring thaws and over
flows of the Uncompahgre for many
seasons, but this year it was COM
PEELED to yield to current forces
and two sections went out in one
pight. And now a force of workmen
are removing the remaining parts
and a temporary bridge is to be put
in at once just south of the old site
and will be used until completion
OF the new structure.
Engineer Maloney of state high
way commission and another gentle
man OF that body have been inyit-
ed to come here to make an inspec-
ton of the road and bridge repairs
needed in this county and they viii
make this inspection, make sugges-
lions and possibly submit plans for
the new bridge above mentioned
and other bridges and repairs need
ed in the county on the sixth of
next month.
The board of county commission
ers We're out on a tour of inspec-
tion of the damaged highways and
bridges in the North Fork district
all of last week and they started on
a tour of the Surface creek and Ce-
daredge districts yesterday morning.
They will soon be thoroughly ad-'
vised as TO the damaged condition
of all our highways and will then
set about to make substantial re
pairs.
The north abutment of the North
Delta bridge across the Gunnison
has been greatly damaged by the
recent overflows and new and
heavier wall is to be constructed.
This bridge seems to be entirely
safe as yet and residents of the
north side are crossing regularly,
out for fear of future weakening of
the bridge the repairs are consid-
cred necessary.

SISTERS MIGHT BUILD
A HOSPITAL AT DELTA.

Anent the recent agitation for
hospital in Delta, The independent
editor recently met a surgeon who
mad occupied the position of oper-
ator in several hospitals. On the
subject he said:
The sisters are about the only
reople who can make hospitals a
success, and l have no doubt but
they would take up your field *
il was presented to them with a re-
quest to do so. There are no bet
ter hospitals and they are not Sec
tanian in practice, as their aid Is
rendered to all creeds and classes
alike. Within them are physicians
and nurses of all creeds, and they
are the cleanest OF sanitariums."
AS the matter of the proposed
hospital at Delta appears to ba
either dead or dragging. The lnde-
pendent suggests that those inter-
ested in the movement appeal to
the Sisters to take the matter up.
as Delta is a good feld and needs
a good institution OF that kind.

HADLEH SAYS HE WILL
STAY WITH THE PARTY

Upon his return TO Jefferson City
Mo, on Monday Governor Hadley
made it plain that he does not pro-
pose to join the third party move
ment, but will work for another
regular Republican victory in Mis-
souri,. He said the best way TO
fight for men or measures is with
in regular party lines.
The governor said the Taft plat
form was the most progressive par
publican party.
After preparing statement for
the press. Che governor went TO his
farm for rest.
Il believe l can render more use
full public service as a member of
the Republican party" he said,
than by Joining in the formation
of third party. While l have in
no way changed my mind as to the
correctness of that for which /
have contended, l undertake 10 say
that no political party ever did or
ever will exist in which at times
men will not use authority unfairly
and to accomplish selfish and i'm
proper ends.
Some planks were omitted from
the platform which l should like to
have seen adopted. bWt there will be
found in the platform, l believe,
nothing that is Objectionable to any
Republican.
There will be no abandonment in
this state of the progressive princi-
pies and policies for which we have
contended.
Whatever the effects OF the con-
vention elsewhere. it has resulted in
reconciling to a considerable extent
the differences in the party in this
state"

LEGALITY OF MARRIAGE IL
CENSE Is QUESTIONED

Former Attorney General John
Barnett raised new point of
law yesterday in requisition case,
which may make it necessary for
county clerks to issue marriage Ii
censes to clerks instead of intrust-
ing the work to deputies.
Governor Shafroth was bearing ap-
plication of the Ell Paso county dis
irict attorney for a requisitioh for
Edgmont Welsh of Albuquerque, N
NJ, wanted in Colorado Springs on
q charge OF perjury in procuring "a
marriage license. Welsh is charged
with declaring he was unmarried
when he had wife living.
The license was issued by a deputy
county clerk The law states that
the deputy shall act in the absence
OF the county clerk. Barnett holds
that as the county clrek was present
when the license was issued, the
deputy clerk was not authorized to
administer the oath, and, therefore,
Welsh could not have committed
perjury.

TRIAL FOR NON-SUPPORT
RESULTS IN COMPROMISE
Young Woman and Husband Come
to Understand Each Other.

Mrs. Edith Allen, a slender little
mother OF two children, the younog-
est coming to the home only three
weeks ago, confronted Judge Fair
lambs court last Monday morning
and recited a story including cruelty
and non-support against her husband
Douglass Allen, who had been ar
rested on a charge contained in
this article.
Mrs Allen in her testimony stat
ed she was married to Douglass AL
len on July ., 1903; that they had
lived on ranch operated by the de
fendant on Rogers mesa until about
January / when she went to the
home OF her parents near Bowie,
Colo, and has since resided there.
Her husband owned six head of
horses at the time of her leaving
which were worth about $500, three
head of cattle worth 500, a good
wagon, harness and supply of grain
though she could not STATE the guam
uty or value.
The young husband was on hand,
represented by counsel, and il was
SHOWN that he had not been entire
ly negligent OF his wife and children.
He had delivered five head of hogs,
one killed and dressed, and several
hundred pounds OF potatoes, etc
at the home of his father-in-law, J.
A. kurtz, at Bowie, fer the support
OF his family, all OF which had been
made use OF by the father-in-law'
family and his own. Counsel for Al
len attempted to show how many
brothers his wife had-how many
there were in the Rurtz household
to be provided for-but this effort
was checked because OF being con-
ldeI ed immaterial at this hearing.
At the close of the case counsel
for both parties got together and
arrived at a compromise by which
Allen gives a bond guaranteeing sup
port for his wife and two children.

Good roads will be an important
subject in the campaign this iaii

good roads to be voted on' and in
addition an attempt will be made TO
initiate a bill relating TO the high
way commission and appropria,lns

distribution says a statement Is
sued by the Colorado Good Roads
association.
In order that these measures
may be thoroughly understood by the
people. II is the plan of all the
good roads organizations in the
state. working in connection with
the county com missioners. to hold
a great convention in Denver some
time during the last of August or
the first OF September in order 10
discuss the road question. Special
efforts will also be made to have all
the candidates pledge themselves as
in favor of good roads legislation.
This convention will be held i'm
mediately preceding the primaries
in September
"one of the amendments to be
voted on this fall provides for
bond issue of ten million dollars
for road purposes by the state, a
million TO be issued each year. The
second amenmdent allows the
counties of the state to issue bonds
for the purpose of building roads
and bridges and public buildings.
Whether the highway bill will be
initiated or not depends on the
securing OF the necessary signatures.
The good roads organizations of
the state, as well as the county com
missioners' association. are against
the Initiation of this bill because
of a doubt as to its legality. This
doubt, II is claimed. will likely re-
suit in tying up the road funds. thus
further delaying work for another
year or so. For this reason the
good roads associations are against
the initiation of the measure as pro-
posed by the state highway commits
