 To this letter I made the following reply: "Yes. the new Peruna does contain a laxative element. You should therefore take the old Peruna (Ka- -tar-no) which has no laxative quality. While prescribing the old Peruna found it quite necessary frequently to prescribe the laxative Manalin in connection with 1t. Therefore Manalin was combined with Peruna, in order to meet those cases that require a laxative. But in case no laxative Is required the objection to the new Peruna you speak of arises Many of the people who used to take the old Peruna found difficulty in taking the new Peruna To meet those cases I am having man. ufactured the old Peruna under the name of Katarno. and if you are anxious to get the old Peruna exactly as 1t used to be made you can do so."

BASKETBALL HOOTERS"
 ANNOY RESIDENTS

AS result of petition presented to the city council Tuesday night by residents in the neighborhood of the armory, the Conway basketball bugs" may be forced to abandon the "dribble and shoot" sport, as there is no other place available where the games can be played.
 The petitioners claim that the spec tators make so much noise while "root- ing" for their team that they are un- able to pass the fore part of the night peaceably. However, it is thought an agreement will be made between the basketball managers and the petition CTS whereby the games may be played amid less cheering on the part of tho patrons.

Shibley of Paris, former president of the board of trustees of the State Tuberculosis Sanatarium at Boone vile, and Dr..

GOVERNORS RACE
 MORE S|Mp[|F|ED
R. 1. ROGERS NOT TO RUN
MUCH UNCERTAINTY ABOUT ACTING GOVERNOR CALLING
 SPECIAL ELECTION.

Little Rock, Jan. 31.-The prospec- tive race for gubernatorial honors, when the resignation of Governor Joe T. Robinson takes place, has been a bit simplified by the announcement of Robert L. Rogers, former attorney general and now prosecuting attorney of the Pulaski county district, that he will not be candidate. Former At torney General Norwood stated he was not thinking about the proposi- ton seriously yet, awaiting to learn first if there will be a contest for the office.
 This seems to be the feeling of many who are disposed to run for the office, if there is to be an election. Prominent attorneys state it is possi- ble for the lieutenant governor select ed by the senate at it's close, to hold the office until the end of the term for which Governor Robinson was elected, in defiance of the courts. They argue that the law is on the side of the peo- pie, and a mandamus could be issued against the occupant of the governors office, but it would be impossible to enforce it if the acting governor so willed, he being the head of the state militia, and it is subject to his orders,
 Until this condition is settled, Mir. Norwood states he will continue to practice law in Little Rock.
 Senatr L. c. Going of Poinsett is a candidate for the position of presi- dent pro tenn, which is the same as lieutenant governor Harry Harris

SENATE RESTING
 ON IFS LAURfLS
ADJOURNS UNTIL MONDAY
NO BUSINESS WILL BE DONE BEFORE WEDNESDAY, AC-
 COUNT LACK OF QUORUM.

Little Rock, Jan. 31-The Arkan- sas senate will do little or no business for the next four days, adjourning at noon today until Monday morning, but Monday and Tuesday the upper house will lack quorum, on account of the large number away visiting the state institutions. This will tie all business until Wednesday, but it was thought best that all committees visit at the same time, so that none would be ab- sent when important legislation af fecting their districts was considered. The house members will visit at the same time, and the same rule will probably be in force there, though it is possible a portion of each day will be spent in the reading of local bills and placing them in position for inn mediate passage upon the return of the visiting committees.
 It is the small matters which take up the most of the time in the senate, for the large ones are fought out in the committee rooms and when re- ported on favorably, rapidly pass on to the house. The senate indulged in costly example of this kind Thurs day morning. A motion was made to committee, which is expected to keep the expenditures of the session to the minimum, and make them fit the states receipts, at salary of S5 a day. A substitute motion placed the daily stipend at $4. The chairman of the committee argued a clerk of the kind desired could not be employed at $4 per day, and for an hour the de- bate waged. A roll call was demand ed on the substitute, which lost, and then on the original motion, and on the motion to reconsider and lay on the table, which prevented further ac- tion, and H->ally, upon the motion to immediately transmit to the house. Thus the state lost both ways. The clerk will serve 42 days, the remain der of the 60-day session. It costs the state more than this an hour to operate the senate, so the common wealth would have lost had the clerk been empolyed at $1 less per day.
 The senate is grinding out more business though than any previous session, and 1t is not often these vex- atious questions take up the time of the body.
 The committees are working indus triously. The judiciary committees of both house and senate hold almost daily sessions and they are lengthy ones. The senate was stormed Thurs day afternoon by about 500 free bridge enthusiasts from Pine Bluff, who came to present their protest to the repeal of their free bridge act. They marched into the senate cham Der, headed by band where the ju- dietary committee sat. ..

, l-2 CENT RATE
 MAY BE PASSED
LITIGATION WILL FOLLOW
ATTORNEYS DECLARE RAIL ROADS COULD NOT PAY
 RUNNING EXPENSES.

Little Rock, Feb. 1.-Should the public service committee of the house pass favorably upon the Newton 2 1-2 cent passenger rate bill, and the senate public service corporation committee of the senate reports favor ably upon the Wasson bill of a simi- lar nature, another long drawn out litigation will result. While it was not so stated in plain English by the attorneys of the three leading rail- roads of the state, who appeared be- fore these committees Friday after noon, yet the inference might be drawn from their remarks, as they stated it was impossible for the rail roads to pay dividends of per cent under a Scent rate The attorneys also stated the railroads are now bor- rowing money to make improvements in the state and paying as much as 8 per cent for it, when their earn ings are not over per cent.
 The attorneys requested the com- mitteeS to let the railroads alone for a few years and permit them to i'm prove their lines in peace. They in- formed the legislators the state has been damaged much more than the public has gained, by the legislation in recent years, and by it all railroad building had been practically stopped
 One of the attorneys showed what the legislation had done by one rail road having changed it's line so that it ran along the border, as much out of Arkansas as possible, and this en- tabled a sister state to reap the har- vest of taxation
 It was pointed out to the commit tee that it is impossible to borrow money for railroad building in Ar kansas on account of the many ad- verse laws of the state, and that sev- .eral lines now contemplated are find ing it impossible to make and head way. The attorneys advised lib- ~eral policy by the lawmakers, and stated if the passenger rates were re- duced it would have to be made up by raising the freight rates, which would affect the people more than maintaining the passenger rates at their present figures.
 Senator Wasson appeared before the senate committee and stated the railroads of Arkansas had earned c$9,000,000 during the past year, but was not in possession of figures to show what part of the investment this amounted to. The attorneys for the railroads did not dispute these figures, but stated the railroads, ac- cording to their taxable values, rep resent an investment of $161 ,0OO, 1000 ln Arkansas.
