 hold Goods Shipment.

Little Rock, Jan. 9.--In the case of E. A. Tom against the Kansas City Southern railroad, from the Polk Circuit court, the decision of the lower court in giving the plain tiff Judgment was sustained yester- day by the Supreme court, but the allowance of $50 for attorneys fees was disalowed. Tom re- moved from New London, Wis, to Mena, and shipped his household goods, for which he made a cash payment in full of 800, the amount charged. When the goods reached Mena, the railroad company de- manded an additional S20050, which he refused to pay. and re- plevined the goods. He then paid he amount demanded. The court decided he was entitled Co a refund of Si9S.50 excess charges.
 The trouble over this shipment was caused by the fact that there were a couple of hundred bushels 0f potatoes in the car, which the faiif0ad refused iS ist go at the same rate as immigrant shipments
 ronn claimed he was bringing the potatoes in the car for seed. and won his point upon taking his ease into court

St. Louis, Jan i0.-A water fam inc, due to an ice gorge in the Miss issippi river, from which source the city gets it's water supply, has assumed serious aspect.

SHEB WILLIS AND
 SON ACQUITTED
Polk County Men Charged With H. licit DistilIiDg Stand Trial in Federal Court-Quickly
 Found Not Guilty.

Ft. Smith, Jan. i0.-The evidence was completed Tuesday evening in the case in which Sheb and Tddie
 Willis of Polk county were charg- cd with illicit distilling. The ar guments were made Wednesday morning by Prosecuting Attorney Worthington for the government and Rowe & Rowe for the defense, and after the charge by the court the jury retired, within the hour returning a verdict of not guilty on l all three counts.
 MT. Willis and his son live about
 i5 miles west of Mena, near the head of Mill Creek.
 In his charge to the grand jury upon opening the present term of court, Judge Youmans called spe- cial attention to the ruling on in troducing liquor into Oklahoma, speaking as follows:
 This court must of necessity take cognizance of attempts to in troduce intoxicating liquor into what was formerly the old Indian Territory, and it is just as much an offense to attempt to introduce as to introduce liquor.
 From this time henceforth that law will be enforced as strictly as | it is possible to enforce any law within this jurisdiction. Persons who henceforth endeavor to intro duce liquor into that part of Okla homa formerly called the Indian Territory, will simply be balancing the liquor they attempt to intro
 duce against term in the peni- Itentiary.
 T shall expect every law abiding citizen to lend his support openly and effectively for the enforcement of the law against attempts to in troduce liquor into the Indian coun- try"
 Tn touching upon the white slave trafllc, Judge Youmans said lthe government had considered it most important to regulate and fix severe penalties for the practice of the importation of women and girls into this country, and from
 one state to another, for the pur- pose of immortality and debauehery.
 He had no doubt that cases of this
 character would be brought to the
 attention of the grand jury. The
 court held that this law was not lGnly for the protection of individ-
 lals, but for the protection of so-
 ciety and of persons least able to
 withstand such enticement, espe-
 cially girls who are too young to understand the ruin that faces
 them and the dangers they incur,
 Congress grasped this situation and
 enacted drastic laws for the pun Iishment of such practices.
 On the present federal grand jury
 the following Polk county men are serving: William Bateman, Mena,
 G. T. Aiken, Grannis; E. T. Embry Board Camp, and Tom Davis, Hat field.

MANY NEW STEEL
 MILLS TO START
Furnaces, Idle for Many Months, Will Resume Operation This Week-Several New Mills to
 Be Erected-Great Demand.

Pittsburgh, Pa, Jan. ii.-Many furnaces, which have been idle for months, resumed operations this week, and if the present demand for steel continues it is likely that a number of new mills will be built. Contracts for steel buildings aggregating s50,0OO,000 or more have been placed during the first ten days of 1912, and other orders amounting to millions have been re- ceived. The prospect of a steadily advancing market is expected to hurry the closing of bids. Three contracts alone total 4i,000 tous and numerous smaller contracts bring the total for the ten days to 100000 tons.
 Twenty-three thousand tons of steel will be used in the construc- ton of the great new building to be erected on the site of Madison Square Garden, New York, and de- livery will commence soon, as the garden will be demolished next month. Another contract calls for f2,000 tons to be used in Philadel- phia's new convention hall, while 10000 tons will be used in build ing the Michigan Central's passen- ger station in Detroit. Cincinnati's new Union station will require about 10000 tons.
 The Pittsburgh Steel Company, a big independent corporation, will build four new open-hearth fur naces at it's Monessen plant, in ad- dition to the eight now operating. three great blast furnaces and a new merchant steel mill at total cost of about Si,000.000.

 Doctor Sophian has made public the following suggestions for the prevention and cure of the disease.
 Tells People to Stay at Home.
 Dr. H. K. Leaks, president of the board of health. said:
 Tt is very important, in the present situation, that the citizens of Dallas read carefully the rules laid down by Doctor Sophian and observe these rules closely. This will be the most efficient way of stamping out the epidemic, and at the present is the only known way of doing so.
 We take the position that the disease is contagious and that the people should avoid getting in crowds. Have no dread of the dis ease. further than that which in- duces care in the condition of the health of the person. cleanliness of inc hodv and of the premises.
 Spray or gargle of the throat and nose with mild antiseptic agencies are commended.
 'Tsolation of the cases. Quaran- tine as far as possible and concen- tration to a treating place for care and separation from the well.
 Care of the persons of healthy peopIe. so that they may not be- come careless of the germs to others whose condition invites the inroad of the disease.
 Use warm clothing when ex- nosed fo cold Adapt the body. by use of proper agents. to changes in climatic conditions and to the rise and fall of the bodily vitality.
 Be cheerful. Avoid gloomy talk even this disease. A bright dispo- sition is good everywhere"

WhenPaw came home one night he h ad
A straw hat on his head;
One cheek was peedin' Shawn bad
And paw he grinned and said:
I've got to wear this hat three weeks,
But don't go and fret;
can'tget shaved on both my cheeks

And then Nav learned that Paw that
day
Had wheeled 8 man three blocks;
when he is asked to work that way
Paws language ailus shucks)
He'd rolled a peanut up "a hill
His boss is laughing yet;
He says the sight was fit to kill,
To see Paw pay that bet.
But when i got to bed I thought
How Paw jumped on me once,
And licked me just because he caught
Me doing silly stunts;
4 guess big folks has got rule
That's just for them alone,
And boys who want to play the fool
Must wait till they are grown.
