Chiidren's Home Society.

Mrs. G. T. Brassfeld, ting the Arkansas Children's Home Society, lectured at the Methodist church Sun day night in the interest of that association.
 This institution is different from others of its character in that it pro- vides homes for the homeless children, regardless of whether or not they have parents. Mrs. Brassfeld argues that there are thousands of children who have parents that are really worse off than if they were orphans. It is the province of the organization to find homes for such.
 During the past sixteen months, since the society was organized in Arkansas, 206 children have been given homes and $8000 has been raised and handsome home donated
 While the society purposes to provide home in the institution for all of it's wards, if such is necessary, it's principal mission is to find homes with people who have no children and who are able to provide for them.
 Mrs. Brassfield's home is in Eureka Springs. She will be pleased to com municate with any one who wants to take a child to raise.

ALL THE CONTESTANTS PLEASED
Count of Votes Last Week in Piano
 Race Discouraged Nobody.

The count of the vote in the Grand Piano contest last week has seemingly encouraged each of the several contest ants, who have joined earnestly in the race, each being well pleased with the progress of their campaigns. :"
 While the volume of the vote appears upon casual thought to be something of "whizzer" in size, it does not seem to be anything out of proportion, when you come to consider that it takes thousand votes, you might say, to make point, a hundred thousand to make a score, and million or two to look exec edingly encouraging.
 It is nevertheless a matter of great importance that the small tickets be sought and voted, for it is out of the abundance of small items that the large ones grow.
 The Tribune is practically out of the contest now in the way of giving votes on subscription, for the various con- tastants. are now agents for the paper and are making collections and solicit ing new subscribers in order to get the votes and incidentIy the commissions we offer.
 Merchants who are giving votes out on cash received at their stores, which includes the Green Forest Hardware Co.,, Len Reynolds grocery, Seitz Mercantile Co.,, and Shaffer's Drug Store, state that trade is now coming into their stores from beyond what has ordinarily been considerd Green Forest trade territory, attracted here by the piano votes and the bargains they are offering.
 It looks now that several good things will result from this contest for this elegant prize. The winner will of course, be paid for her trouble many times over, other contestants will be paid for their well directed efforts for working for The Tribune, while people who subscribe for the paper on account of the contest will get heaped-up meas ure in paper value, and everybody who trades with the above mentioned mer- chants will find some of the very best bargains going in the various lines represented. adv.

 Fort Smith-Juries are too lax in the performance Of their duties accord ing to Circuit Judge Daniel Hon, who, in his charge to the Grand Jury, at the opening of the adjourned September term of court, declared that no matter how strong the evidence of the state might be in a homicide case it is hard CT to secure @ conviction than in fheft cases, where the evidence is Fot so convincing. Judge Hon alS3 stated that grand jurors continually violate their paths by refusing td return in dictments in cases where the law has been violated. The cause of such g course of events the judge was unable to explain.
 He stated if juries would take it upon themselves to make an example of some criminal cases by administering severe punishment, the wave of crima would rapidly decrease.
 Judge Hon blamed pistol toting for a great majority of homicide cases, and declared the move to the hip pocket and T thought he had gum defenses are being overworked.

AN 0LD-TIMER IS REMINDED
Talks of the McCormick-Hyde De- bate Mentioned by Us Last Week.

''I read your article An Echo from the Long Ago in last weeks Tribune with much interest,"" said an old citizen to the editor.
 Yes, those were turbulent days, 1 sure enough when the McCromick- Hyde debate was held. 1 shall never forget how the community was wrought up over the incident. Blood run so high that riot was freely talked of, it being boldly stated that certain men, who were attending the debate, were armed for the emergency.
 "As l remember it now, the debate grew out of a conflict in the appoint ments of the champions of Wesley and Campbell and the challenge for discuss ion of the question of infant baptism and other subjects upon which the two denominations so strongly differ.
 ''Rev. Hyde was holding a meeting under the arbor, conducting it after the old shouting fashion and the McCromicll crowd led by their chief gave up their own services, or at least took upon themselves to attend the Hyde meeting, and the McCromickites freely expressed their contempt by both words and actions at such form of worship. I remember one night when Parson Hyde was engaged in one of his loud efforts in prayer, Eld. McCromick yelled out. Hollow louder Bro. Hyde, the Lord is asleep tonight. It was this and similar incidents that brought about tn notorious debate.
 Another little incident I remember that showed the spirit Eld. McCromick exercised for Rev. Hyde. One day while the debate was in progress, Rev. Hyde's mischievous son, about six years old, came up on the platform with the fathers buggy whip in hand The speaker was plainly disturbed by the actions of the boy and occasionally he would say something to the boy, asking him to stop. The lad, however, paid little attention, seeming to realize the advantage the occasion afforded him. Finally the incident grew so ludicrous that the audience became amused at it, whereupon Eld. McCromick admon- ished the people in his gruff expression to pay no attention to the ill-behaved boy, for the chap had no father
 '"This and many similar caustic re- marks were made by Ed. McCromick, when the preachers themselves, as well as their followers, were at daggers points, so to speak.
 After all, I presume as much good came from the McCromick-H Hyde de- bate as ever comes of so-calIed re- ligious debates.
 ''More orless hatred and disturbance grows out of such discussions, while I have never yet known any good to come from one

SHIPPERS ARE ENDOWED
Cannot File Suits to Recover Over
 Charges From Railroads.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Little Rock.-Shippers who have claims against the railroads as a re, suit of the recent decision of the United States Supreme Court sustain ing the Arkansas Railroad Commis- sion's freight tariff, have been re- strained from filing suits against the railroads but must file their claims with the special master appointed by Judge Trieber of the Federal court. The re straining order was granted on the pe- tition of the Iron Mountain railroad.
 The court has extended the time within which these claims may be filed until January 1, 1914. The limit was originally set at November 1 but on the application of the railroad com mission Judge Trieber extended the time, as shippers claimed that they could not get their claims into shape by November l.
 It is estimated that the amount which the railroads will be compelled to refund to shippers and passengers will be between $2,00O,000 and $3,O00,- coo. This amount represents the diff ference between the amount paid by shippers and passengers and the amount that would have been paid if the enforcement of the two-cent rate law and the commissions freight tariff had not been enjoined for period of about four years.

H Daniels of Cedarville, Ark, small village near here, died late yesterday from tetanus, after an illness of several weeks. Young Daniels, while chopping wood about two months ago, accidently cut his right foot with an axe.

The wound grew worse until they finally sent for a doctor, who arrived too late.
