which are often necessary to keep at

steam traction engine supplied with
water and fuel.
The court is again considering the
advisability of calling an election for
a special lucent road tax for the coun.
ty. Last year the road tax was 121a
cents, and 10 cents from the public
building tax was utilized on the roads.
The road tax this year is Is cents
The court is considering asking for
an additional Is cents and lowering
the public building fund tax, making
the increase in taxes only 10 cents.
This will provide ample funds to
keep the county roads graded, and in
good shape, and will enable many
stretches Of road to be sand-clayed
where materials do not have to be
hauled such great distances.

ONE PRICE At AIR.
DOME IN FUTURE

The many patrons OF the Airdome
will no doubt welcome the news that
In future no pictures will be shown
that can not be secured at the regular
admission price of 10 cents. During
the past few pictures, such as From
the Manger to the Cross Cleo
Ipatra," ETC., have been shown when
We were forced to charge more, owing
to the fact that the general rule of
State rights pictures is to charge 10
and 20 cents, and these pictures can
only be secured through men holding
the State right; consequently We were
forced to comply with their require
ments in order to secure the pictures.
But after mature reflection, we have
decided that, owing to the fact that
we have established uniform price
/ of 10 cents for admission to the Air
dome, it is unfair to permit patrons to
come expecting to pay the usual price
only to be informed that we have on
special pictures which necessitate a
higher rate for admission; therefore,
In future our uniform price of 10 cents
will stand and any picture which can
not be shown at this price will be
passed up.
The Airdome has been exceedingly
fortunate in securing splendid music,
with Mr.. W. W. Harris Jr as leader;
but now they have made marked
step forward by securing Mr.. Cotter,
an expert trap drummer, to assist Mr..
Harris. Mr. Cotter uses full line OF
traps and effects for the pictures,
which add greatly to the entertain
ment of the audience and the reality
Of the pictures presented. The effects
alone are quite novelty, and his re-
markable skill in adding the right
touch at the opportune moment is well
worth the price OF admission.
The management have secured that
wonderful picture, Satan; or the
Drama of Humanity" to be presented
tomorrow night, which is undoubtedly
the best picture that has ever been
to Bryan. 1t is a five-reel drama, de-
picting the workings of Satan in his
tempting of Adam, illustrating his eff
forts through all the ages for the
downfall of humanity, and dwelling at
length on the tempting of Christ and
his rage and disappointment at his
failure. 1t comes on down to the pres
ent age, showing Satan at work in
his modern ways. and will be a treat
for all who attend the Airdome. Don't
miss this wonderful picture, and re-
member the price is only 10 cents, as
we positively will not show any pic
lures in the future where others die
tate our terms, unless they can be
secured at our regular rate of admis-
sion.

Seal Sale Exceeded $1OO.

While returns are not con1- plete as to the sale of Red Cross Seals this season in this city and immediate section, the total sale will exceed $1O0, which for the first years work, is remark able showing.
 Mrs. w. A. Billingsley had the movement in charge here and gave it an intelligent, enthusias- tic and personal direction that is deserving of highest praise. The Arkansas fund is to be spent in Arkansas in the fight against tuberculosis and when the movement is more generally organized and better supported, the United Charities propose that in each city, the proceeds of the seal sales, shall be spent there for the prevention and elimination of the dread disease. The revenue from the sale of seals nationally is expected to exceed $5OO,O0O and will do a world of good in the campaign to reduce the danger of tubercular infection as we'll as the number
 of it's victims by proper treat ment.

A Law Needed To Expedite Ju-
 diciaI Business.

Would it not be a good idea for the legislature of Arkansas to pass a law as other legiSla- lures have found it wise to do. to prohibit a member of the su- preme court of the state from running for office except to sue ceed himself, unless he shall first resign from the bench?
 In Arkansas there are four teen or fifteen hundred lawyers. Many of them are active in poli- tics. In fact there are few law yers who haven't clear cut pre- ferenceS among candidates and parties. Lawyers have to prac- tice before the supreme court.
 Somehow the conception of a supreme court as a tribunal of highest dignity and immaculate integrity does not harmonize in the mind of a thoughtful man with the welfare of his state at heart, with a picture which pre- sents itself to the imagination; a picture of two partisans of an- tagonistic politics; one of the bench the other of the bar; one sitting in judgment and the oth- CT pleading a clients cause; one a candidate for political prefer ment and the other warhorse of the opposite camp. To change the picture and make the man before the bar a powerful SUD- porter of the man on the bench does not make the picture more beautiful nor less true to life.
 That decisions of the supreme court have been affected hither- to by such a situation, who would affirm? But that decis- ions might be thus affected here after, who would deny?
 Aside from this embarrassing possibility under our present laws is the consideration of eX-

Arkansas Celery.

J. E. Colopy gave us a sample of his homegrown celery one day this week and we found it as fine as any we ever ate. It was very brittle and not stringy like the most of celery we have been used to. He raised 25O hills of this celery in his gar den at the waterworks. This is MT. Colopy's first experience in growing celery, and he is so well pleased with the result that he will try it again next season.
 He says that the plant requires a great deal of water, and when the weather is dry and hot it is good for it to have some shade. He plants the seed in a box first and when the plants come up, transfers them to a bed, and af- ter they grow in the bed awhile transplants them in rows where they are left to grow till maturi- ty.
 This celery is no doubt as good as that shipped here from Michigan, where the vegetable is produced extensively and with considerable profit, and it might be a very profitable crop here, for those who are fixed to irri- gate the ground. Arkansas will produce anything in the way of vegetables. - Gentry Journal Advance.

Furs Plentiful--Prices Low.

Little Rock, Dec. 25.-More than $500,000 worth of furs have been gathered in Arkansas this year, Little Rock dealers es- tlmate, but the prices have fall en almost 50 per cent from last year and there is danger of the market being glutted because the supply far exceeds the de- mand.
 Little Rock fur dealers say that the retention of a large part of last years furs by dealers in the North and that the throwing of this surplus on the market has so weakened the market prices are constantly falling.
 Most of the fur gathered in Arkansas this year was that of the coon. Last year dealers say coon fur sold for $2.5O a hide j; today it brings but $1.25. Mink fur, the most expensive of all, sold for $7.50 last year; it sells for only S4 a hide now, and the price is falling. Other furs the dealers say, have suffered a similar cut in values.
 The mink fur is especially val uable. Coats made from it sell for not less than S1,0O0, if the furs are genuine, and of the highest grade which is known in the trade as No. 1 fur. Some of the mink coats cost even more than this, but dealers say that few furs are being bought this year and they declare that present indications are that there will be a big surplus of furs after the comparatively slim demand for furs has been entirely satisfied.

Gen. Cook Chairman.

Louisville, Ky, Dec. 24.- A movement looking to the erec- tion of monument to the mem- ory of Col. Sumner A. Cunning ham, editor of ''The Confeder- ate Veteran, who died recently in Nashville, Tennessee, was in- augurated here today at a meet ing of Confederate veterans, held in the office of General Bennett H. Young, commander in-chief of the United Confed- crate Veterans.
 It is proposed that the South ern people unite in raising a fund for the purpose, no sub- scription to be more than $5.
 At the meeting today were General w. B. Haldeman, Majors Is. H. Buchanan, John H. Leath- CTS, w. A. Milton, John and B. Pirtle. Gen. V. Y.

Value of Drag Proven.

Clarksville, Dec. 25.-Never in the history of Johnson county have the roads been in as bad condition as at present. The re- cent rains have made the coun- try roads almost impossible. It is noticeable however, that those on which the split log drag has been used are in much better shape than those that did not receive this treatment. With this object lesson before them, it is hoped that the farmers will devote more attention to the use of the split log drag in the future.

Candidate For State Treasurer.
 R. G. McDaniel, who has prov en a very capable, courteous and popular deputy under the pres ent state treasurer is a candidate before the March primary for the important office of State Treasurer, and it is generally conceded by those who know about state politics that he will have no opposition.
 This in itself is high compll- ment to Mir. Mcdaniel, and one thoroughly deserved, for he IS a very strong man in the num- Der of his friends in all sections of the state. His home IS Clark county and the big bond o1 $500, ,OOO required of the State Treasurer, is no way handlcaps MT. McDaniel, for his reputation and character justify the con- fidence of the public.

pediency. There is common place but vital reason for change in the fact that there Is enough and more than enough business to keep all the supreme court justices busy all the time. Not one can be spared from the states important judicial busi- ness to wage extended campaign for political office.
 If one judge can absent him self from the bench and routine of court duty to play politics what rule or law prevents twp from doing it; or three?
 It seems therefore that if would be wise and good state }a manship for the coming legisl2- ture to enact a statute to pro- hibit a member of the supreme court from becoming a candi date for another office without first resigning from the bench. Pine Bluff Graphic.

THREE MEN
 FALL WITH CAR
Into Arkansas River When False Work On Frisco Bridge
 Gives Way.

Van Buren, Dec. 25.-The second serious accident to occur on the draw span of the Frisco bridge since the work of replac- ing it with new and much heav- fer steel began four weeks ago, occurred at 10:30 o'clock this morning. The huge derrick car fell into the Arkansas river from the false work in mid stream, carrying three men im- prisoned in the cab of the engine room.
 James Kelley, the engineer, suffered fractured skull and a badly bruised and lacerated back, and was hurried to a Fort Smith hospital on a trolley car.
 The cab of the derrick car was practically submerged when the heavy piece of machinery fell in- to the river. It quickly filled with water and, by the prompt action of the motorboat patrol that is maintained at the point, the engineer was rescued through a window of the cab. The other two men, Joe Dilby, fireman, and George Turner, der rick foreman, were able to climb out of the cab window upon the drift and from which they were removed by other workmen. Difby received several painful bruises while Turner escaped without scratch. After he had secured dry clothing he returned 1 to work.
 At the time of the accident the derrick car was run out on the false work that is used in placing the floor system of the new bridge between the pivot pier and the connecting one on the north. The false work was seriously threatened when the false work on the south side of 1 the pivot pier was carried out by the drift two weeks ago. It had never been properly aligned and braced and it is thought that the vibrations caused by the derrick lifting a piece of the old steel caused the false work to sudden ly give way.
 An additional derrick is en route to Van Buren from the shops at Springfield, Mo-, to be used in picking up this derrick from the bottom of the river The river is rising slowly at this time and every effort will be made to rescue the car before il fills with sand.
