points along the route, a battery of ar

a large float representing the Union and
the Constitution. The President-elect
entered the Senate chamber at 10

son for this is that the cooperative
store usually runs on a cash basis. and
the buying public wants credit. Here
is an account of a failure of CO.
operative store because its members re
fused to pay cash, and went to a regu-
lar grocer where they got the ordinary
credit There is an account of another
failure because the store finally began
to carry slips as an evidence of debt.
and then was forced to go upon a full
credit basis. under which il was not able
to survive.
Another difficulty that is experienced IN
making the cooperative store success
lies in the fact that the manager fire.

has other irons in the fire which demand
the major portion of his attention. or
course such management Is seriously
Handicapped when 1t comes into competi-
ton with a grocer who devotes all his
attention to his business and who assumes
all the risks it involves. And then the
hired manager is not always as salts

whose well-being is at stake upon the
success or failure of his business.

is organized as a share company, each

To Prove by Second Operation

Spokane, Wash, Oct. 16.-Convinc- ed that her appendix was removed during an operation performed for another disorder year ago by Dr. T. E. Hoxsey and other physicians Mrs. Lydia Murray, who was ordered to pay the physician for services by jury in the Spokane superior court last month, has undergone second operation to prove that she lost her appendix at the former operation. Following the second operation she filed a motion for new trial, declar- ing that the operation showed the ap- pendix had been removed.
 The second operation was perform ed after Mrs. Murray was ordered to pay Dr. Hoxsey $2S5 for performing the first operation. Rather than pay for an operation in which she alleges that the surgeon removed her appen- dix without her authority, she sub mitted to a second operation to ob- tain evidence to support her conten- tion that her appendix really had been taken out.

HUERTA, THE TYRANT

President Huerta has had arrested and jailed no members of the na- tional assembly, and one or two oth- CTS previously arrested have disap- peared without satisfactory eXplan- ation ever being vouchsafed. Even the very natural curiosity, not to say anxiety of their families being denied qualification.
 Such acts as this spell either the destruction of such republican form of government as may exist in Mex leo, or such an eruption of popular indignation as will insure a really re- publican form of government instead of the despotism now masquerading as the real thing.
 The seizure by wholesale of mem- bers of the popular branch of govern ment must indicate desperate condi- ton of political affairs in the war torn nation below the Rio Grande. It is a sign that Huerta has aroused powerful opposition which has ex- cited his fears. Either that or he has determined upon course that means the qualification of his personal ann bition at the cost of the lives and li- berty of the people of his country.
 We do not believe the love of liber- ty is so dead in Mexico as that the people will submit tamely to such outrages upon their citizenship and manhood. In certain crises of their national life the Mexican people have shown themselves real freemen and patriots and they may do so again. Ft. Smith Times Record.

ANTI-PROH'S HOPEFUL

While their attorneys delve deep into the law to find some flaws in Sen ate Bill No. 11S, the liquor men are all at sea as to the next step that will be taken in the matter. They are not done fighting and as long as there is a point to contend for, they will remain in the state courts. The Federal court will be a last stand.
 There are some cities in the state in which the saloon men think they can still operate under the bill. They also believe that the wet towns in East Arkansas will remain wet un- der s. B. 11S. Hot Springs, Fort Smith and Helena are the three cities they believe can be petitioned wet. Little Rock and Pine Bluff are admit tedly dry under the bill.
 No effort will be made by the li- quor men to circulate a petition in Little Rock, for they consider the burden too great on them. They will assist in the work if the city admin istration and the business men are behind the movement The liquor men feel that people would sign the petition at the solicitation of the mer- chants, when they would refuse for the men who operate the saloons. The present city administration has been none too friendly to the liquor interests but the loss of over $100,O00 revenue to the city annually, with no substitute may make a difference in policy. If all efforts to gave s. B. 11S declared unconstitutional fail, then efforts will be made to start the petition around before the end of the year, so that it may be passed upon in January.

 Throwing herself in a big easy chair, she sank into a deep reverie and called two men before her minds eye.
 First, there was Craig Bennett, al most old enough to be her father, but man of the world. cultured, well poised, who knew so well how to pay those flattering little attentions so dear to the womanly heart, and whose brilliant conversation made him a welcome dinner guest at the dinner tables of many lands-a man of parts and money And then there was blue eyed Jean Graham. with the good red blood of health and youth staining his Drowned cheeks and brightening his eye, not prone to ready speech, rough in his manner at times, perhaps, judging by the standards of her little world, but honest and true. Only a mechanic. but with a wealth of love and ambition in his heart, a world of romance in his young brain, and ten derness in his toil-hardener hands and yet

 Peg, dear. wake up. We've only time for cup of tea and bite of lunch. Such luck! I've got two tick cts for the matinee to see Peg O My Heart" and vigorous shake brought the dreamer back to earth.
 All the afternoon they laughed and cried at the will of the winsome little star, whose delightful Irish brogue only gave her lines added piquancy. Peggy Bronson seemed to drink in her words, and as the play progressed her eyes grew tender and her face alight with new happiness.

Local Anesthesla.

A discovery in surgical science, claimed to be the greatest since Lis ter founded antiseptic surgery, has been made by Professor Leduc, prominent French scientist, and is now being exhibited in London. The purpose of the discovery Is to render a patient locally insensible to the pain of an operation by applying an elec- tric current to the part of the body to be operated upon. Its action Is said to be such that even when only a small amount of current Is applied needles may be stuck deep into a mans flesh without his feeling any sensation of pain whatever. This To- cal anesthesia consists of series of electrical impulses to the number of 100 to the second, each shock last ing one-thousandth part of second. These brief and rapid galvanic cur rents coming at regular intervals ren- der the particular part to be oper- ated on quite insensible to pain with out producing any i'll effects. The current is applied by two metal pads covered with wash feather and made wet before the operation and pressed against the flesh. The apparatus works on a voltage of 60 and for or dinary operations a strength of cur rent of two milli-amperes Is consider ed sufficient.

 With a roguish glance at the happy girl beside her, Helen Curtis laughed and chanted

 A ray of the setting sun, breaking through the rain-soaked clouds, fell as benediction on Peggy's dark hair as she spied a workman passing by and joyously called, Jean, oh Jean," and as his blue eyes met hers in glad surprise she murmured softly, Jean, I've just awakened to the glory of loves young dream"

MAY ENFORCE TELEGRAPHERS'
 LAW

Commissioner of Labor J. C. Clary has made an investigation of the man. ner in which other states enforce the eight hour law governing the employ ment of telegraphers in charge hand ling trains. and has received informa- tion from the State Bureau of Labor of New York stating that the eight hour law of that state has been up- held by the courts and that all rail road telegraphers are employed but eight hours per day in that state The opinion of the New York courts was also received giving in detail why the law was upheld and Commission CT Clary has placed the matter in the hands of Attorney General Moose for further investigation. He believes It may yet be possible to enforce the provisions of the eight-hour law of Arkansas, which at first was thought to be in conflict with the federal law on this subject.
