FIGHT LIGHT FRANCHISE

Little Rock, June 3.-lnterest is be- coming very heated in the considera- ton of an ordinance pending before the city council, providing for the granting of an electric light franchise to the Arkansas Cold Storage Com pany. The ordinance already agreed upon by a majority of the council is being opposed by the Little Rock Railway and Electric Company on the ground that it provides for an unjust competition.

UNRESTRICTED DELEGATES

Little Rock, June 3.-While the ex- citement of other years will be lack ing in the approaching Democratic State convention, which meets at noon Wednesday, it will be far from tame affair It is very probable that the convention will instruct for Champ Clark for president, although trere will be some showing in favor of an uninstructed delegation. No sincere attempt will be made to instruct for any other candidate. The liquor ques- tion will also furnish interest in con- nection with the adoption of the plat form. The fight will come up over an attempt to bind the party unequivo- cally to local option or statewide pro- hibition, and there have been predic- tions that it will result in a "strad- dle.'

The Perfect Laxative
 For Elderly People

Age has it's at ractions no less than youth in more serene and quieter life. But it is this very life of rest without sufficient exercise that brings with it those disorders that arise from inactivity. Chief of these are chronic, persistent constipation.
 Most elderly people are troubled in this way, with accompanying symp- toms of belching, drowsiness after eating, headaches and general lassi- tude. Frequently there is difficulty of digesting even light food. Much men tai trouble ensues, as it is hard to find suitable remedy. First of all the advice may be given that elderly people should not use salts. catha1tic pills or powders, waters or any of the more violent purgatives> What they need, women as we'll as men, is a mild laxative tonic. one that is pleas ant to take and yet acts without grip ing.
 The remedy that fills all these re- quirements, and has in addition tonic

LIVE STOCK REPORT
 MOST INTERESTING
Government Censns Report Gives Some Figures Concerning the Number of Cattle, Hogs, Sheep and Goats In
 Arkansas.

Simon Whitestone, who is promot- ing the Pine Bluff packing house and stock yards, has compiled some in- teresting figures, taken from the Census report. showing the number of cattle Gall native stock and ex- cepting blooded stock), hogs, sheep and goats in ten counties in South east Arkansas, south, east and west of Pine Bluff. The report shows a tetal of 10O,935 cattle, 179,4a3 hogs, 3O,724 sheep and 9,446 goats. These figures are especially convincing when it is considered that there is no packing plant in Arkansas at this time. It proves the contention that there is sufficient live stock in Arr kansas to justify the erection and operation of modern stock yards and a packing plant. The report as made by MT. Whitestone follows:

WATER co. TO SUE CITY.

Camden, Ark, June 3.-In the Oua- chita Chancery court Saturday the re- ceiver for the Camden Water Co.,, ask ed the court for permission to sue the city of Camden for three months wat CT service now over due, and which the city council refuses to pay. Last January the water company agreed with the city to put in certain inn provements and Altering plant, as a forfeit the water company agreed to give the city free service unless the improvements were made within four months. The water company has fail ed to make any of the improvements. But some three months ago the wat er company was thrown into the hands of receiver. The receiver claims that he is entitled to collect for the service furnished since he took charge of the plant, inasmuch as his status is that of an officer of the court, appointed to continue the op erating of the plant. The court grant ed the petition as to bringing sut, but refused the receiver the right to cut off the city water unless the amounts were paid, as was also asked in the petition.
 The court also granted the receiver permission to install new pumps, a new electric motor of 60-hOrse power and to make number of repairs up- on other machinery now in the plant The total cost of the improvements authorized by the court is about $2,- 300. Engineers testified that the to- tai cost of all improvements demand ed by the city and promised by the companyebefore the council last Jan uary would be about $14,000. Court was then adjourned for the term, and the matter will ,remain in the hands of the receiver at least until the Sep tember term.
