YOUTH WHO CONFESSED
 MURDER IS ACQUITTED
JURORS BELIEVE BOY ADMIT TED CRIME BECAUSE HE
 WAS HUNGRY.

Harrison, July 31.-The Boone county grand jury refused to indict Charles Whelpley, aged 19, an orphan of Atchison, Kan, who confessed he killed Clarence Thomasson, a freight brakeman on the Missouri & North Arkansas Railroad, who was killed near Ekerton last March.
 It is said that Whelpley's confession was not credited by the jurors. A murder charge pending against him in trial court was immediately dis missed by the state.
 Whelpley, when arrested in Kansas City 10 days ago, swore in an affi- davit that when he and Thomasson engaged in quarrel on the train be- cause Thomasson tried to eject him, he struck Thomasson in the face with an iron bolt and knocked him beneath the wheels. A corners jury found Thomasson accidentally fell from the train to his death.
 The officials here believe that hun ger prompted Whelpley to make the confession in the hopes of securing food. He says he confessed because his conscience would give him no rest.

LOCAL SOLDIERS MAY
 HAVE TO WORK STREETS
MUST DRILL AT LEAST 24 TIMES A YEAR TO ESCAPE
 STREET DUTY.

Members of the Conway company of the Arkansas National Guard, who have been exempted from street duty will probably have to drill oftener or be subjected to the same tax as other citizens. Merely joining the militia won't cut any figure in the matter of road or street duty, unless the guardsman attends enough drills dur ing the year to render him an "ac- tive militiaman in the full sense of the term, according to an opinion giv- en out by Attorney General Moose, in reply to query from pr. w. J. Brown of Dover.
 pr. Brown stated that number of the boys in his community had joined the state guard and were claiming that they were exempt from 1 road and street duty because they be- longed to the militia He wanted tc know what about it.
 Judge Moose cited certain sections of the state guard act of 1907, show, ing that active members of the guard both officers and enlisted men, were exempt from duty if they had com piled with all requirements of the law. However, one of those require ments was that they should take part in at least "A drills during the calen dar year.
 If they have failed to do this, concluded the attorney general, they are subject to road or street duty ane should be so warned
 It is said that there are many mem bers of the state guard who would not come under the classification a! active under this provision of th' state guard act,

FAST TRAINS AXE
 TAKEN OFF SUNDAY
NEW SCHEDULE EFFECTIVE
MINOR CHANGES MADE IN AR RIVAL OF OTHER PASSEN-
 GER TRAINS.

From Saturdays Daily.
 As was reported in the Log Cabin Democrat early in the week, the fast express trains running between Little Rock and Kansas City will be discon- tinued Sunday, the final runs of the trains being made today. A new schedule which becomes effective Sun- day morning at 12:01 o'clock elimi- mates trains No. 119 and No. 120 and makes some changes in the running time of other passenger trains. Under the new time card trains No. 1O3 and No. 1O4, which now run only from Wagoner, Okla, to Little Rock, are again made through trains and will be provided with better equip ment. Train No. 103 will leave Kan sas City at 9:3O p. m., arriving at Lit tie Rock at 7:45 p. m., and passing through Conway at 6 :26 p. m., instead of 5:35 D. m., as at present. No. l04 will leave Little Rock on the old sched- ule, passing through Conway at 9:22 a. m. and arriving at Kansas City at 7:35 a. m.
 Trains No. 105 and No. 106 will now be routed via the Frisco bridge between Van Buren and Fort Smith, so that there will still be one train each way on which the two-cent rate to Fort Smith will be available.
 No change is made in the running time of the accommodation trains, eX- cept that the north bound train will leave Conway three minutes later and the trains will not be run to Clarks- vile instead of Russellville, as was rumored. No. 132 and No. 1O3 will meet at Menifee instead of at Conway. The only other change is in the time of No. 1O5, which will leave Conway at 5:42 a. m., instead of 5:55 a. m.

BETTER THAN GOLD
BY A. J. Ryan.
Better than grandeur, better than
gold,
Than ranks and titles a thousand
fold,
Is a healthy body and mind at ease,
And simple pleasures that always
please.
A heart that can feel for another's
woe,
With sympathies large enough to en-
fold
All men as brothers, is better than
gold.
Better than gold is the sweet repose
OF the sons of toll when the labors
close;
Better than gold is the poor mans
sleep,
And the balm that drops on his slum-
bers deep
Bring sleeping draughts on the
dOwny bed,
Where luxury pillows its aching head,
Inc COleI SIIlplG OpIdIS uGGulS
A shorter route to the land of dreams.
Better than gold is a peaceful home
Where all the freside characters
come.
The shine of love, the heaven of life,
Hallowed by mother, or sister, or
wife.
However humble the Home may be,
Or tried with sorrow by heavens de-
cree,
The blessings that never were bought
or sold
And center there, are BETTER
THAN GOLD.

WHAT WAR PRICES FOR SUGAR COST
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

The increased cost of sugar due to the Euro
pean war and lack of sound policy will cost the
American people nearly $250,OO0,000, asserted
Senator Smoot, of Utah, inNthe senate the other
day. He sharply criticised the Democratic
policy with respect to sugar tariff
Ten American beet sugar factories have
closed their doors since the law passed, said
Senator Smoot He directed attention to the
enormous burden which has been placed upon
the American people through combination OF
events the outbreak of war in Europe and
our dependence upon foreign countries for a
large part of our sugar supply, which consti-
tutes one-ffth oflthe worlds production.
Pleading for American production of eur
own sugar, Senator Smoot said
aThink, Mr. President of the great financial
burden which the American people are bearing
today because we are not producing at home a
great food necessity, which we easily can pro-
duce
The wholesale price of sugar in the world
has increased at least 3 cents pound since
August l. This means an increased burden
on the American people of $240 100000. Even
should peace be brought about in the next two
months, the present high price of sugar will
continue at least another year. and the senor-
nous sum of $3.50, 000, 600 will be added to the
sugar bill of the American consumer"
He advised the Democrats to encourage the
domestic cane and beet sugar industry.

may pass. These are so great that they are
said to be capable of sheltering all the ships
of the German navy.
English strategists assert that the value of
the canal has been discounted considerably
by the developments of the present war, and
declare that it has, if anything, rendered the
German feet more immobile than it might
otherwise have been.
1t was Lord Beresford s contention that Den
mark would never be safe so long as Germany
held this important waterway across the Dan
ish peninsula, and he hoped to see the day
when it, together with Schleswig- Holstein,
would be restored to Denmark. 49,. r.
Enumerating other obligations which he said
would fall upon the allies if they defeated Ger
many, he said the first duty would be to Bel
gium, which would have to be rewarded for
the wrongs it had suffered. He said he would
then have ''the great Krupps plant destroyed
and all German forts razed.''
