Presented Unusual Problem.

The testimony before Referee Brown
was made necessary because of most
unusual act OF generosity on the part OF
Cora +. Bsrnes in giving away two thirds
Of her Centaur stock. which left "A pug
cling question OF law as to whether she
had not disposed of all her interest in
the Centaur Company to her stepmother
and her half-sister. Mildred. before her
death, as the result of which no part OF
her interest would be taxable as an asset
Of her estate. She made no mention G.
the Centaur stock IN her will. but gave
her entire estate. aside from a few thou
sand dollars TO friends and servants and
$4,000 TO charitable institutions. to her
half-slster and stepmother. The finding
of the referee was that Miss Barnes gave
away her Centaur stock. and SINCE no
part OF It passed under her will II Ia not
taxable.
The report and testimony given before
the referee show that although the Cen
taur Company is capitalized at only s25.
900. the company paid the following divi-
dends between 1850 and 1904:
From 1880 to 1855. s225,53s; 1855 to
1900 s3.7S9,673 from 1900 to 1904, ST.
5l5,765
The usual dividend payments between
1900 and 1904 were 100000 a month.
The testimony showed that the dividends
FOR the last ten years increased greatly
over those in the previous period. and 1t is
estimated that the amount paid since 1904
Is more than 100000. while no testi-
mony WAS offered to show the present
value of the 5000 Of Centaur stock. 1t
Is estimated that each 500 share lie worth
not less than 10000.

BUY COAL EARLY,
 RAILWAY SUGGESTS
FRONTIER SERVICE AND BET TER PRICES MAY BE OBTAIN
 ED IN SUMMER.

c. E. Warner, coal traffic agent of the Missouri Pacific-Iron Mountain, has sent out circular to the agents of the company at all points along the lines notifying them of the import ance of orders for next winters coal being placed by dealers at once. The circular calls attention to the fact that each year people have delayed placing a large percentage of thelr orders until winter, when the mines are so overcrowded with work they cannot promptly supply the fuel. Ere quently, too, the railroads have not the cars to transport the coal when so many of these orders come in at one time. This latter condition IS apt to be particularly true this win ter, the circular states, on account of the number of cars required to trans port the unusual crops which have been raised throughout this section of the country. Although the circular does not mention the fact, another ad- vantage of ordering coal before winter sets in is that the consumer IS able to buy it at a much lower rate.

Argenta, Aug. 6-Luther Cole of Judsonia, who was arrested Tuesday night by Assistant Chief of Police John Bell Duclworth, for trying to pass a raised $10 bill, was given a hearing by Justice w. H. Ramsey yesterday morning and bound over to the grand jury.
 Cole came to the city from his na- tive town Tuesday morning, prepared to give himself the time of his young life. Later in the day he wandered to that part of Argenta, where the lights are brightest. According to his story he met on Ferry street man who seemed to be slightly intoxicated and who wished Luther to change a $10 bill for him. Luther was willing, as he had that amount in silver. The ex- change was made, and the man dis appeared. Later Tuesday night the bill passed from Luther's hand and

Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 Knowing that any news of Conway people travelling is always welcome by our home paper, we are taking this means of telling our friends of the pleasures and advantages of Chautau- qua.
 Those making our party are Mrs. E. A. Bolton, chaperone, who is al ways on the alert to see that her girls get the best of everything, Misses Pauline Newborn, Laura Harton, AL lie Merle Conger, Nannette Akin, Meredith Clark of Conway, and Misses Lily B. Simms, Hattie Carlton, and Aubry McKarver of Lake Village.
 Some of the girls are taking the normal course in music and art and one in expression, while four girls are learning much from the platform, which is an education alone.
 One of our girls is very much pleas ed with her work under Mrs. Bertha Kunz Baker, in expression. Mrs. Baker as woman teacher is consid- cred far superior to any one else in the United States and as good as any one abroad She spends much of her time in Germany. Mrs. Bakers meth ods are identical with those of Miss Eva E. Hamilton, our expression teacher in Central, and of course are the best.
 Mrs. Baker gives a recital every aft ernoon, generally in modern drama, dealing with some economic and social problems of the present day.
 The past week was music week in Chautauqua. In addition to the Chau- tauuua choir of 800, under direction of MT. Hall, one of the greatest choir directors in the world, the regular or chestra, pipe organ and July soloists, we had the pleasure of hearing Victor Herbert's orchestra and the Schubert club of 50 male voices. We have also had a series of lectures by Dr. Will liam F. Colledge, who appeared on our lecture course last winter. He was given quite an ovation in Chautauqua.
 Three of our members left Thurs day, July 30, to visit Toronto, Canada, and will join another division Monday in Niagara. Some of the party have already seen the wonders and beauties of the "Falls" and have taken a short trip into Canada. From Niagara the party will go to New York City and then to Philadelphia, Atlantic City, Baltimore and Washington.
 Chautauqua is an ideal place for rest and study, and we hope to bring more of our friends with us next year.

ARGUMENT ON IN
 BANK LAW FIGHT
PETITIONS ARE ATTACKED
OFFICERS UNABLE TO LOCATE ANY OF 100 SIGNERS TAKEN
 AT RANDOM.

Little Rock, Aug. 8.-Arguments in the fight on the bank guaranty act be- gan un chancery court Friday after noon, W. B. Smith, representing the bankers of the state, making the opening argument.
 The forenoon was taken up with the presentation of evidence by the representatives of the union labor forces, who circulated the petition seeking to submit the bank guaranty question to the people. Experts in writing were intorduced to go over the contested petition, principally those filed by Frank Nash. It was claimed by the bankers that many of these petitions were filled out by one person. The experts of the defense testified they were not, though there was some similarity in some cases. To others than experts, the petitions looked as though the same person. had written four names, and then the next four would be the handwriting of an- other, and so on down the petition.
 After looking over several of the petitions Chancellor Martineau de- cided that the best test of the validity of the signatures, as the petitions un- der fire were supposed to have been circulated in Little Rock, was to un- dertake to locate the signers and have them testify for themselves. The subpoenas were issued and placed in the hands of half-score deputy sher- ifs with instructions to act immedi- ately. The officers were given the names of at least 100 people, and all afternoon they were returning to court to testify that the addresses given were for the most part vacant lots, and where there was house no trace of such persons could be found.
 Attorney Smith, in his argument, went into the qualifications of legal signers, holding that they are the same as for voting. He stated that he had supplied the attorneys for the defense with 5,400 names which were not legally entitled to be upon the pc tition, but waiving this aside he stat ed there were 2,241 fraudulent names on the petition, as we'll as 6S7 where no addresses were given, as required 'ty law. There were 15,500 names on the petition, and if these were de- Gucted it would leave the petition 671 short of the required number to sub- init it to the people.
 The attorneys for the defense are arguing the case this morning.

when the new possessor tried to get it changed it was noticed that some Duckworth was called and Cole was turned over to him.
 In Justice Ramsey's court yesterday morning Cole made a favorable inn pression by the straightforward way he told his story. He described the man who gave him the bill as wearing dirty straw hat, blue shirt and blue trousers.
 The bill was crude piece of work. It had been made over from gen. uine one dollar bill and looked as if a sharp instrument had been used to scratch the figure ten where the figure one had been.

SAYS FAST TRAIN
 WILL BE RESTORED

Trains No. 119 and No. 12O, dis continued Sunday, August 2, will re- sume service about the middle of De- cember, according to the following story published in the Clarksville Democrat Friday:
 Dr. w.. F. Smith of Little Rock, chief surgeon of the Iron Mountain railroad was in Clarksville Wednes- day. Dr. Smith discussed the matter of train service with various citizens at the request of the railroad officials, and stated that the fast train would be put on again the middle of Decem- Der, that this train was not profitable between Fort Smith and Kansas City, although it was between Fort Smith and Little Rock. It was taken off be- cause the road needed to make re- trenchments at this time. He said that if the Russellville "slicker" should be run beyond that point, it would have to go to Spadra, which would be a great additional expense, and in that case the fast train, when 1t is put on again, would probably not stop at Clarksville. Dr. Smith says that all he talked with here favored waiting for the fast train to be put into service again rather than agitate the matter of having the "slicker" come on through here.

DUNN HILL ROAD
 NEAR COMPLETION
From Fridays Daily

County Judge J. w. Holt and Alder man c. c. Denney, who made a trip to the new road being constructed over the Dunn hill, northeast of Con- way, report that the road is nearing completion and one more week, it is believed, will witness the end of the work which has been in progress at intervals for the past year. The new road is something more than mile in length, and while the distance is not apparently increased the grade has been reduced to a maximum of less than five per cent. On the old Dunn hill crossing there are grades run ming as high as 20 per cent. As this has been the hardest pull" on the road between Conway and the entire northeastern section of the county, the new road will permit the hauling of much larger loads from points beyond the hill from Conway.
 A big new grading machine to be used in connection with the oil-pull tractor recently purchased was re- ceived by the county today. The grad er has a blade 10 feet in length and is more than twice as heavy as any machine previously used by the county.

APPRECIATE DAY
 AT FAULKNER FAIR
MORRILTON PAPER SAYS THAT CITY WILL SEND BIG
 DELEGATION.

Secretary J. A. King of the Faulk- ner County Fair Association informs us that their big day of fair week, which will be Thursday, October 8, has been designated as Morrilton Day and Old Soldiers Day, and plans are being made for one big time on that date. This courtesy is indeed kind of the Conway people and we are sure that Morrilton people will appreciate same highly and show their apprecia- tion by big turnout on that day. Conway has always been very fortu- nate with their fair, generally having fair weather and big turnouts, and this city has never failed to send a large crowd to help swell the gate re- ceipts, and the best part is we always have good time and get our full moneys worth.
 The roads between here and Con- way are generally in fine shape for automobiling and it would be fine thing for the auto owners to turn out about 50 or 75 strong with their cars filled with Morrilton folks, and show them we are good neighbors, with a strong bond of sympathy between two good towns. We know Conway folks will appreciate it and return the con- pliment Morrilton Headlight.
 Morrilton day will be the biggest of the fair, according to Secretary J. A. King. Among the speakers will be Chancellor Jordan Sellers, president of the Conway County Fair Associa- ton, and Virgil A. Beeson, editor of the Headlight, representative-elect of Conway county and president of the Arkansas Press Association.
