EXHIBIT SKETCH IF
 CITY S5 YEARS AGO
LITTLE ROCK SHOP WINDOW SHOWING OLD PICTURE AT
 TRACTS MUCH ENTlON.
Had Been in the Family of Mrs. Harry K. Bowers and is Exhibited as Comparison of City's Growth.

Little Rock, June 12.-Perhaps one of the most unique family relics ever exhibited in Little Rock is now being shown in the window of one of the Main street stores.
 The relic. which has been in the family of Mrs. Harry K. Bowers for over 60 years, is an old picture made of Hot Springs iu 1929. The pen sketch of the town of S5 years ago shows but a few little wooden shacks which were used as oathhouses at the Springs, which were even then famous. A narrow path is shown where today the main street of a metropolitan city lies. And where now all known vehicles are contin- ually passing only lone pedestrian found room to travel.
 The few houses which then spotted the mountain sides were far apartex- cept where the small group of board ing houses lined the narrow passage way which long since has been broad ened into a wide tnoroushfare.
 The picture itself is something of which to be proud, b-sy with the frame which is studded with uniformly and naturally nodded crystals set in a plaster the heirloom is one of the most valued of old drawings. In the center of each panel of the frame is set rose bursting into bloom, rose of shells taken from the mountains and streams of Hot Springs many decades ago.
 The Hot Springs of nearly a cen. tury ago as banned by an unknown artist gives one a correct impression of the little settlement in it's infancy

CONFERENCE ON
 BOND AMENDMENT
MAYOR TAYLOR CALLS SESSION FOR LITTLE ROCK TO BE HELD
 ON WEDNESDAY, JUNE 24.
Present Proposed Amendment Is in the Minds of Many Much Better and More Carefully Restricted Than Former One.

Notices for a statewide conference in behalf of the proposed constitu- tional amendment No. ii, or the sc, called bond amendment, to be held at the Little Rock city hall Wednesday mailed from the office of Mayor Charles E. Taylor to the officials of all cities and towns of the state and the various commercial organizations in the several cities and towns.
 Mayor Taylor is one of commit tee of nine mayors appointed by the Arkansas Association of city officials to prepare for the i>-eeting and issue the call. The other mayors on the committee are II. c. Read of Fort Smith, Simon Bloom of Pine Bluff, J. w. McClendon of Hot Springs, J. P. Kline of Texarkana, Hugh Martin of Helena, Thomas 'Burress of Jones' boro, J. P. Faucette of Argenta and H. M. Jackson of Paragould. The call requests from each city and com mercial organization be present at the meeting.
 An amendment similar to the pro posed amendment was submitted to the voters at the 1912 election and carried by a majority of 23,000, but later was declared imperative by the supreme court because of the fact that five amendments had been sub mitted and voted upon at the same time, when the state statutes limit the number to three. Two of the amendments voted upon and carried including the bond amendment were thrown out.
 The present proposed amendment, in the minds of it's friends, is a much stronger and better restricted bill and contains more safeguards for the people. In the election of 1912, 61 of the 75 counties gave maiorities for the amendment, and so far little or no antagonism has been encountered by the constituents of the Amend ment No. H. It's friends are hopeful and believe that the amendment will be carried by large majorities in the election next Septem.er.

HUMPING CASE IS
 BEFORE THE JURY
SPEAR ONLY WITNESS USED FOR THE DEFENSE, AND THEN
 ONLY ON DIRECT SUBJECT.
Arkansas Bank Officials and Elm ployes Used in the Direct Evidence by w. N. Martin Recalled For ss-Examination.

The J. II. Humping suit against Ed Spear and the Arkansas National Bank for the recovery of about $500 in drafts and checks which Humping swore he lost here during the time of the spindle operations, almost came to a close yesterday. There was not the exhaustive research made in the case on this hearing that had been made previously. The plaintiffs case closed at noon yester- day after officials and employees of the Arkansas National Bank had been used on direct examination by the attorney for the plaintiff, and later they were recalled for cross-examina- ton by the defense, but Ed Spear was practically the only witness used in the defense.
 Spear testified, as in the former case, that the drafts came into his hands for collection; that it was his custom to collect paper" for those who had no standing at the bank, and that he had received but 10 per cent of the money involved, that being his collection fee.
 This being the only matter he testi- fled to on direct examination, he was not subject to the cross-examination that w. H. Martin, for the plaintiff, wanted to conduct, so Mr. Martin made Spear his own witness on other matters.
 The question of settling the instruc- tions was one which occupied most of the afternoon, and 1t was not until , o'clock that the arguments were begun.
 The arguments were begun by At torney w. H. Martin, representing the plaintiff. then Richard Ryan for Spear, Colonel Rector and l.. E. Sawyer for the Arkansas bank, Judge Huff for Spear. and w. H. Martin closing for the plaintiff The jury went out and was in session prob ably an hour, after which time they asked to be excused until this morn ing. Among some there is the i'm pression the jury will not agree.

THE SEARCHLlGHT.

The recent passage of the bill au- thorizing the federal government to build maintain and operate railways and telegraph and telephone lines in Alaska has recalled to travellers the unique aerial tramway at Nome, and given rise to speculation as to wheth- CT or not it can be replaced by any thing better.
 Nome looks right into the face If the fierce Boring sea. In the open or storm season. from June to Octo- Der inclusive, the town is frequently swept by northern blizzards, from which life caught out at sea rarely escapes, and before which life ashore crin2es.
 The water transportation problem at such a time is difficult, and it is made more difficult by the fact that Ser ing Sea is so shallow at Nome that the larger ships cannot get nearer than two miles from the beach. Some thing had to be done to get passengers and freight ashore, and the Nome tramway was devised in 1906 to work with the lighter service which receiy- ed ship passengers and freight.
 The tramway has span of 1400 feet The beach tower is 125 feet high and the sea tower is 80 feet. The latter tcwer was lowed ia wiINer across 900 feet of ice. A hole was cut in the ice, concrete caisson cong

 It is true that nature and woman's work has produced the grandest remedy for woman's ills that the world has over known. From the roots and herbs of the field, Lydia r. Pinkham, forty years ago, gave to womankind remedy for their peculiar ills which has proved more eflicae;ous than any other combination of drugs ever com pounded, and today Lydia F. Pinkham' 8 Vegetable Compound is recogniz d from coast to coast as the standard remedy for woman's ills.
 In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn, Mass, are files containing hundreds of thousands of letters from women seek ing health - many of them openly state over their own signatures that they have regained their health by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's s Vegetable Compound; i; and in some cases thatit has saved them from surgical operations.
