New 5-Cent Pieces Ready.

The design of the new nickel. the creation of J. E. Frasher, New York artist. has been accepted by Secretary MacVeagh. The direc- tor of the mint has ordered it's coinage and it will be in circulation early in February.

On the other side appears the figure of a buffalo and the de- nomination of the coin. The de- sign is severely simple and is re- garded by the treasury officials as one of the most artistic pieces ever turned out.

Makes Plea for Tap Line.

w. s. Hobbs of Warren, Ark, general manager of the Warren and Ouachita Valley Railroad Co.,, before leaving for home from Washington recently, urged the Interstate Commerce Commission to revoke it's order holding that his road is not a common carrier.
 Representative Goodwin of Warren is in favor of the modifca- tion of the commission s ruling for the reason that these short lines are doing more for the develop ment of transportation facilities than any other agency.
 Not only in Arkansas, but in the South and Southwest generally the tap lines roads are accomplishing great good" he said. Many roads in Arkansas that are now perma- nent railroad were cnc9 tap lines, and the order of the Interstate Commerce Commission. if perpet- uated, will mean an absorbing of the smaller roads by the larger ones; the elimination of competi- ton, and in a measure, a confisca- ton of property rights without due process of law.

His Confession.

A certain editor kept his politics to himself during the last campaign and caused a great deal of adverse comment on that account A few days ago he received the following letter:
 MT. Editor: You kept so still during the recent campaign that some of us are not sure where you are at. What party do you belong to? Will you please outline your belief for the benefit of your read ers?"
 And the editor. unabashed in his next issue wrote the following "Confession of Faith. 7
 Dear Sir: The party we belong to is a small one with black hair and dark eyes, age 2z and then some. We have belonged to this party for several years and have no idea of changing.
 We are Presbyterian in belief but we do not permit this to inter- fere with our selection of candi- dates. We always intend to vote for the best man, and don't care a rap whether he is an Alleopath, Homeopath or Osteopath.
 We do not think a man is wrong politically just because he don't agree with us. We know he is.

Damage Verdict Reduced.

In the personal damage suit of the St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern Railway Co.,. against J. H. Bird, as next friend of Wharton Bird, the opinion being by Justice Wood, the supreme court on Mon day held that if the appelle will cause a remittur to be entered in Is days for all in excess of Sl5.- 0Oo the judgment will be affirmed and judgment entered in that sum, otherwise the judgment will be re- versed and the cause remanded for a new trial.
 The suit was brought in the Union Circuit Court by J. H. Bird. father of Wharton Bird, seven years old. who was run over and killed at crossing in Fl Dorado by an Iron Mountain train, to recover damages. Judgment was render ed in favor of the plaintiff in the lower court for $l1.0OO. While considering motion for a new trial the court offered to require the appellee to remit the sum of $3.OOO if the appellant would waive errors and accept Judgment in the sum of $8.OOO. This the Iron Mountain Company declined to do, and the motion for a new trial being oVerruled, appeal was taken to the Supreme Court, the Circuit Court reducing the judg- ment from $ll,OOO to $8.OOO.

ufCTURtD ON HEALTH.
Dr.. I. 8. Bradford Tells Number of tiuttq
 Citizens How to Keep We'll.

pr. T. B. Bradford of Cotton Plant. district sanitary director of the State Board of Health, arrived in Huttig last Friday afternoon from Strong and gave a very in- teresting and instructive lecture at the library on that evening to over fifty residents of the town.
 The doctor was introduced by Rev. w. T. King in few well chosen words and CWelt at length on the necessity of sanitary condi- tions about the homes the value of pure air and the drinking of plenty of pure water He said the only way to prevent typhoid fever, ma- laria, meningitis and other diseases of that character was to keep your premises clean of old cans and rub bish of every description, keep the body clean, sleep with a window open in your bedroom, sun your bedding often and drink plenty of pure water, We hope every resi- dent of Huttig will follow this ao- vice which costs nothing but will surely prevent sickness, which in turn means loss of time and money if not death.
 pr. Bradford special work is along the line of the eradication of the hookWorm disease and he will be in Union county for at least a month working along this line. He will return to Huttig in about two weeks to make microscopic exami- nations of all children who appear to have this disease and will treat all found to have 1t free. If your children are sluggish have them examined when the doctor returns and he will cure them and make them healthy children.

Composition on likeness.

The following composition on idleness written by Miss Cora Nash, age Is years. was awarded first place at the Harper Springs school last week:
 T think idleness is the most use less way a person can spend their time.
 A boy or girl who goes to school and idles away their time is not go- ing for the benefit of school but is going to have d good time and when they grow up to be men ard women they have not learned anything about the world and haven't gained any knowledge and they will never be any benefit to their community, but the persons who tries to make their time as useful as they can and goes to school and studies hard and when they are not going to school are working trying to make someting out of themselves are the ones who will be so much benefit to their community.
 The people who idle away their time never realize how valuable their time is to them until 1t is too late.
 Some people who go to church, to school or any where else are not going for the good of it but are just going to pass away the time.
 Life is too short for us to idle away our time any such way.
 We should not lose any time in idleness, for our time is too precious. ;

Senator J. Monroe Smith.

Tall and dignified is Senator J. Monroe Smith of Lawson, Union county. When something doesn't suit him he says so in a remark to nobody in particular, and when he votes he booms it out with a vol ume which leaves no question in the minds of those in and about the Senate chamber as to how he stands on the proposition.
 Senator Smith wipes his brow with a bandana handkerchief, not because he is a Bull Moose, ', he explained, but because the adop- tion of that brand of handkerchiefs by the followers of one Theodore Roosevelt didn't interfere with a lifelong preference.
 Not only is Senator Smith a vet eran lawmaker. but he served throughout the Civil war also. He was sergeant-at-arms in the Twenty-fourth General Assembly. was a member of the house 1895 and 1895 and member of the Senate in 1897. He is the father of pr.

GAVE WATER AWAY.
Law Was Slow and Charles Anthony Could Not Get License to Peddie.

An analysis of the Park Spring wa ter, submitted by Charles Anthony, which has just been received by pr; w. F. $. Heating from the office of the state chemist, may serve to clear up a difficulty of long standing.
 The report says:
 About the middle of September MT. Anthony received a notice of the workings of the, new law and imme- diately sent to the proper parties the necessary fee of $1O for a license. After hearing nothing for several weeks he wrote again, asking if his money had been received, and an af- firmative reply was sent back
 Some few weeks ago a report on a sample of the water, taken when neith- CT MT Anthony or his wife was pres ent was published and declared the water to be unfit for use.
 As Anthony could not peddle with out a license and as his customers desire to get the water, he has been obliged to take it around and charge nothing.
 Now the report saying a second sample has been found to be satis- factory has been received from the state board, and in all probability the license to peddle will be forthcoming.
