OF DISPUTE
 WAS REACHED YESTERDAY
Louisiana X Northwestern Railroad Unable to Meet Semi Monthly Pay-Roll-Cotton Movement
 Curtailed Reads Receipts.

Little Rock, Nov 12.-S. s. Senne. manager of the Louisiana & North western railroad, of Magnolia, held a conference with State Labor Com missioner J. C. Clary Wednesday, reaching a settlement of the dispute following the inability of the railroad to pay salaries of employees.
 The slow movement of cotton has curtailed the receipts of this railroad, and it did not have funds with which to meet the semi-monthly pay roll. There is heavy penalty for violation of the semi-monthly pay day bill, and Manager Senne informed the repre- sentative of the state that if it was en forced, the men could not get their money. Commissioner Clary took the stand that the State could do without the penalty, and so informed Manager Senne, his aim being to get the money for the employees.
 The Louisiana & Northwestern has had much trouble in meeting pay rolls during the past few months. It has been able to keep up with current pay rolls, but there is an old balance hang ing over it, which comes due every few months, and something must be paid on it, so it again finds itself in hot water.
 As the railroad is in the hands of a receiver appointed by the Federal Court, no penalty could be enforced for violation of state law, but Com missioner Clary did not mention this in making deal to get the employees their money.

STATE INSURANCE COMPANY
 GRANTED LICENSE YESTERDAY

Little Rock, Nov 12.-After almost the entire day spent in conference with State Auditor l.. L. Coffman and Attorney General w. L. Moose, a charter was issued by the state Insur- ance Department Wdenesday after noon to the Citizens Cooperative Cir cle of Rogers. F. F. Freeman is presi- dent of the company, R. B. Whitlow, vice president; Hugh Rice, secretary; and w. T. Quisenberry, treasurer.
 J. w. Nance, an attorney of Rogers accompanied by R. H. Whitlow, pre- sented the application for a charter, explaining their plan was to organize in rural communities cooperative fire insurance circles. They maintained that the circles, being merely for CO., operative protection, and not for per sonal gain, could be chartered by the state and not be subject to the Blue Sky Law. They stated that the plan lis to interest farmers and others in the rural districts, to take insurance in amounts up to 5000, until an aggre gate of $125,000 is reached. Then an assessment of 1 per cent is levied, which gives a fund of $1250 in the treasury. If there is a loss of 5000 another assessment is levied, which leaves a surplus always on hand, The only expense of the circle is for the active head, or clerical force.
 Attorney General Moose sanctioned the issuance of the charter The pro motors of the concern state they eX- pect to form several hundred of the circles within the state.

to disturb their equipoise, they served their ornamental purpose very well, but even strong wind was enough to make them flap over on one side. The "proudest Roman nasal organ might suddenly collapse at the most critical moment. and, greatly to the discom- fiture of it's owner, become what the Germans graphically term a .".potato nose"
 In order to prevent the possibility of such a contretemps, the professor tried various experiments. He first used the cartilage of the lobe of the ear as prop for artificial noses but this did not prove quite satisfactory. Event
 ually he found what he wanted in q thing fra gment of sternum and of two ribs attached to it. With this he formed sort of scaffolding, or framework, on which the flesh of the artificial nose was supported. The breast bone DOT ; ton supplied bridge and the divid- ing wall between the two nostrils, while the wings of the nose were held up by the rib attachments Up to the pres ent this strange rhino- plastic opera tion has been a complete success.

KILLED WOMAN WHOM
 HE FEARED AS VAMPIRE
| Wjdower Then Ends Own Life, Thank. ing God Victim Did not Get
 1! His Money
Special to The Republican,


 JOHANNESBURG. May s.--A ter rible tragedy took place here recently at il hotel. A man stabbed a woman to death and then blew his brains out The police theory is that the man be- came imbued with the idea that the woman was dragging him down.
 The Rand for many years has been remarkable for sad domestic tragedies involving the suncide of two persons or the murder of one and the suicide of the other. The murdered woman is supposed to have been married, with a husband in Johannesburg. The mur- dcrer confessed that he feared her. but thanked God that she could not get his money now. He was q widoWer, with u srown-up daughter in Great Britain.
 Tho first ntimation of events was when the woman was seen running from the mans room in the hotel all most nude. with blood gushing from her hreast. She turned and ran back. The proprietor opened the door and found the murderer, clothed in shirt, recumhent on the floor. with a revolver hv his side. The woman was on the bed. and both were dead. Nine inches of steel were driven into her breast with terrific force. Apparently the man also fired several shots at the body on the bed.

 LONDON. May 9-The $S0000 prize and additional prizes making total of $116.500 offered in France for the best solution of the problem of security in flight have attracted fifty-six entries.
 The competition is to end on June 30, but already it is known that the constitutes security.
 Among the entries are a dozen or so parachute devices. It is surprising that so large a number have been entered, in view of the fact that the parachute can be of no use except in mishaps at a height of 300 feet or more. The great majority of serious accidents have oc- cured quite near the ground. The parachute of course is only in- tended for use in case of fire or the ! breaking of the machine. Both con- tingencies can, however be entirely ! prevented by safeguards and sound l construction. As to collisions in the air, they are not likely to be many. In any case parachutes would be of no use; the shock, and the general disin- tegration of apparatus, would put the parachute out of the question. New ertheless, there are -parachutists on 1 the committee.
 l An even greater number of auto matic stabilizers are in the list The ] objections against all stablizers are that they are a complication; that they are of no value in rough air close to the ground, for they connot always op- crate in time to prevent a bad smash in landing; and that if the mechanism
 gives out the pilot is in q bad way
 because he has not the skill of the pilot
 who flies withous such aids.
 Stabilizers, therefore, are of value only for easing the labor of piloting
 they fail to solve the problem of se- curity.
 l Many naturally stable" machine: are entered These differ from the
 others in that the form and arrange
 ment of the planes keep the machine or i a level keel without the aid of any mechanical operation. They are opeI to the same objections, however, sav' that they are not subject to failur through getting out of gear. So far as authorities are in favor O the stabilized machine, the weight 0 opinion is on the side of natural sta bilitv and against mechanical.
