| newspapers provide much more 5ef- fective means of publicity, and real ly more economical, than pamphlets and secured an adverse report on the bill from the judiciary committee.
 At the afternoon session the bill was called up for final passage. Mr Parker, of Ouachita, himself an edi- tor, offered an amendment providing that the full text of all measures re- ferred to the people shall be printed in at least one newspaper in each county, for four consecutive weeks, instead Of six as at present, and one copy sent to each elector in each county.
 Opposition speedily developed, and the presence of score or more news Iaper men On the floor at the time made the situation tense and excit- ing for few minutes. In the midst of the excitement Davis of Lafay- cite, champion of the bill, secured recognition, to make a speech against the amendment He moved to reject it, which the chair declared out of order, as there was pending a motion to adopt. Then several friends of the newspapers men and opponents, of the bill, by a sudden inspiration, hit upon clever plan to trap the gentleman from Lafayette. Move to tatle it, shouted Sain, Jackson, Patterson and several others, and Mir. Davis made the motion which prevailed by an erwhelming majority.
 Mir. Davis elation, however, was short lived, when MT. Parker called attention to the fact, which was sus- tained l:y the chair, that tabling all amendment carries the bill with it.. The bill was therefore disposed of 50 effectually that it will require tWo- thirds majority to call it back. Ane MT. Davis spent the rest of the after noon explaining how he had inno- gently fallen into the trap.

THINE BLUFF PROGRESS
 ROSPERITY
CUPID HAS HIS INNING.

Cupid bows and cupid darts, loving verses and reddish hearts, kept the poStmen of Pine Bluff busy yesterday and they no doubt wish that no such q saint as Valentine ever lived and that no such practice as birds mating had ever started lovers to sending their fond declarations through the mails.
 Friday was the day when the blush- ing school boy and he of later years, lhogght perhaps he be timid 100, iakes courage from past traditions and sends the missiye to the girls with the eyes so blue and hearts so true. lr sweet rhyme he told his maiden fair the secrets of his innermost heart. Tolls her that she is the light of his i,fc; the object of his existence. Sccreted behind the bulwark of Uncle Sam's official postoffice he will dare plcad his cause, although perhaps, if the test were one of face to face he woald fail.
 For several days and in some in stances for weeks the stores have been visited. The careful critics have selected and picked until one stock after another was gone through. Perhaps the picture of the appearance O. the Valentine failed to suit him. Or .erhaps, the love verses were not as feyerent as he desired it to be-. ,Eerhaps the picture or the appearance while his heart pleaded only love. So after a search he found the one to send to the one girl. It seemed as if il were an exact copy of the heart. The feroc. the love and everything was written on the aper just as it had been engraved on his heart. The throbs seemed to be there. He sent it yesterday. Last night she slept with it under her pillow and the two hearts deamed of the love that per haps is nearing it's climax.

convIcts College Students.

More than so convicts are enrolled
at the State Agricultural college OF
Manhattan, taking the various courses
offered at the college. They are, so
far as is known, the only convict COL
lege students in the United States.
Few, If any, of the convicts have ever
seen the college building, and 1t will
be some time before any Of them can
see it, but nevertheless they are en-
rolled students doing regular work.
All the convict college students are
inmates of the United States peniten-
tiary here. They do their class work
in their cells, and mail their lesson pa
pers to the college for correction.
Some of the convicts are studying ag-
riculture, some civil engineering, 9TH

dairying. Nearly all Of the students
enrolled in the agricultural or dairy
courses are men employed on the

passing the last two weeks at the
ranch of R. E. Scott, secretary of the

a portion of his hair gone.
Mr.. Bloom had been working in the
