British Newspapers.

Arctic explorers often report the.
discovery of flowers blooming in ice
bergs. The explanation of this is as
follows: 1t appears that some ami
mails carry on their feet growth of
moss, which is deposited on the ice
while it is attached to the mainland
in polar regions. In time this decays
and forms a shallow soil in which
the seed of buttercups and dande-
lions often find a lodging, borne by
currents of wind that doubtless
caught them up in some southern
cline. These take root and bloom
when the great cleaning iceberg
floats out to sea and is carried south
ward, where the soft winds melt the
surface and give the plants the mois-
ture they need.

by the budget committee, and that
the school is not asking for any
thing disproportionate to it's services
in comparison with the other schools
of the state.
There was lively exchange of
comment among the members over a
resolution by Representative Stat
ford to discharge the clerks of the la
Dor, public service corporations and
agriculture committees. Mr.. Stat
ford said that the work of these
committees is practically ended; that
the committee clerks are each draw
ing "a per day, and that the item is
one of useless expenditure, espe-
cially in view of the needed retrench-
ment in the general expenditures. Mr..
Wilson wanted to table the resolu-
ton, but this was voted down. Mr..
Shoffner suggested that it be amend
ed to include all committee clerks,
and on this it went over as unfinish-
ed business to come up today.
Representative Robertson intro
duced a resolution asking that the
governor be requested to veto the
senate bill for the consolidation of
state and national elections, which
has passed both houses and is now
up to Gov Hays. Mr.. Robertson said
that the bill had passed at a time
when both houses were in the midst
of measures of such great importance
that the election bill was not as
closely considered as it should have
been or as it would otherwise have
been, and that it's passage is extreme
ly inadvisable in the face of the large
voting population of aEti-Caucasian
extract motion was made to table
the resolution, and in order to get it
before the house for consideration
on its merits, Mr.. Robertson himself
moved the indefinite postponement
of the resolution. This threw it open
for general discussion, which follow
ed for nearly an hour, the resolution
finally being voted indefinite post
ponement.

and PRESIDENT KIDNAPPED

missing and closer examination show
ed the safe had been rifled.
A large posse is searching for the
robbers, who are believed to be on
the way to Paris or Subiaco, in the
adjoining county.
DR.. Mitchell stated in his tele-
phone message that the robbers on
leaving the bank building bound him
and told him that at the least cutlery
they would shoot him. They hur-
ried out of town and toward the
mountains. Ten miles from the town
the two men removed their masks
and prepared their supper over a
camp fire. That finished, they told
DR.. Mitchell he was free to return
home.

drawn must be filed with the clerk,
together with the lot and block num-
Der of the building site. The clerk
will turn the plans over to the build
ing committee and if there is moth
ing in the plans that conflicts with
regulations that may hereafter be
adopted by the building committee,
permit will be issued upon the pay
ment of fee of fifty cents to the
city treasurer. The builder or con-
tractor must get receipt from the
treasure and the plans must receive
the approval of at least two mem
bers of the building committee Up
on the presentation of the treasurer's
receipt and the approved plans to the
city clerk, the latter official will is
sue the permit.
Two vital ends are served by this
ouS 10 IL SlNCo IIlc City
a complete record of the Improvement
work going on in the corporate linn
it's. The other is it will enable the
officials to enforce reasonable rules
and regulations in the construction of
buildings. This applies particularly
to the fire hazard in the construc-
ton of flues, fire walls, and in re-
modelling old buildings that may be
unsafe or unSanitary.
The building committee will take
some time in making investigations
of various building codes in force
in other cities and will consult with
local contractors and architects witt
a view to drafting and adopting a
code that will be suitable to local
conditions. This code will be sub
mitted to the council and adopted as
a part of the laws of the city.
The flue ordinance passed last
night is amendatory to an old ordi-
nance passed in 1885. The old ordi-
nance was obsolete and compliance
with it's provisions did not serve to
reduce the fire menace. Under the
new ordinance all flues hereafter con-
structed must be of brick and NOR
tar, plastered on the inside, must ex-
tend to the ridge of the roof, and
be built from the ground up or from
wall brackets.
Both ordinances are published in
full in today's issue of The Press.
Every citizen of Paragould should
read these two ordinances and famil-
iarize himself with their provisions.
Both are designed to protect the
public from fire waste and to en-
courage the construction of safe and
sanitary buildings in the city.

TRY IT.! SUBSTITUTE
FOR NASTY CAL0ME
Starts your liver without making
YOU sick and can not
salivate.

Every druggist in town-your
druggist and everybody's druggist
has noticed a great falling-off in the
sale of calomel. They all give the
same reason. Dodson's Liver Tone
is taking its place.
"Calomel is dangerous and people
know it, while Dodson's Liver Tone
is perfectly safe and gives better re=
suits" said a prominent local drug
gist Dodson's Liver Tone is person
ally guaranteed by every druggist
who sells it. A large bottle costs
so cents, and if it fails to give easy
relief in every case of liver sluggish
ness and constipation, you have only
to ask for your money back.
Dodsons Liver Tone is a pleasant
tasting, purely vegetable remedy
harmless to both children and ad-
ults. Take a spoonful at night and
wake up feeling fine; no biliousness,
sick headache, acid stomach or con-
stipated bowels. 1t doesn't grippe or
cause in convenience all the next day
like violent calomel. Take a dose
of calomel today and tomorrow you
will feel weak, sick and nauseated
Don't lose days work! Take bod
sons Liver Tone instead and feel
fine, full of vigor and ambition.

GIRL FATALLY BURNED
WHILE FRYING SUPPER
(Rector Vitascope).

Gertie Kirkland, IA years old, and
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Dave Kirk
land, residing in Knob township, was
fatally burned at the family home
Friday evening. She was cooking
supper and at the time frying eggs
for the smaller children, when her
dress became ignited from the stove
Gertie ran into the yard, and in
her fright, started for the field
where her parents were at work in
the clearing. The slight breeze only
famed the flames TO a greater enor-
nifty, and just as she appeared in
sight of help, the flames enveloped
her, and she sank to the ground.
She died in the early part of the
night and was buried the following

The first requirement is the filing of

COUNCIL D|SPOSES OF
WATERWORKS PROTESTS
demonstrators Appear to Be Salts
fled and No Further Opposition
Is Anticipated.
(From Tuesdays Daily Press)

(From Tuesdays Daily Press
Unless something develops in the
nature of opposition to the establish
ment of water works improvement
district No. that is not now looked
for, actual work on the construction
of the new system will be started
about April 10. At the meeting of
the city council last night the pro
tests of seven property owners who
thought their assessment of better
ments was too high, were disposed of
and those who had filed complaints
expressed themselves as satisfied
with the action of the council. Slight
reductions were made in several of
the assessments, while others were
permitted to stand.
The estimated cost of the improve
ment, which includes the laying of
the water mains, the installation of
fire plugs and the construction of
modern, sanitary steel standpipe
with a capacity of $4,000, is
$4,000. The interest on the bonds
which will run for 20 years at per
cent will bring the ultimate cost to
approximately $4,000. The total
assessment of betterments levied
against the real estate in the district
is approximately $4,000. The first
levy of assessments is five per cent
of the betterments, but after the first
year this will be reduced. The pre-
liminary expenses which include the
fees of the engineer, attorney, vari-
Gus advertisements, the purchase of
a site for the standpipe and Incl
dentals will have to be paid out of
the revenues collected the first year
The assessments are due and payable
beginning on October 1st of each
year. The usual period of sixty days
is given for the payment of the as
sessments.
1t is believed the bond issue and
interest and all costs incident to the
installation of the system can be
wiped out with sixty-five or seventy
per cent of the total betterments. In
that event the owner of piece of
property with betterments assessed
at 800, will have to pay not more
than $40. This is distributed over a
period of twenty years. 1t can thus
be seen that the annual assessment
will be exceedingly small compared
to the benefits received.
Under the law, those who filed pro-
tests with the city council have thir-
ty days in which to take appeals to
the chancery court. The commission
ers will, of course, have to wait until
the expiration of this period before
they can begin the work, but in the
meantime the bonds will be disposed
of and everything will be placed in
readiness to start the work imme-
diately after the expiration of the
thirty day period, contingent upon
the fact that no suits are instituted.
The supreme court recently held that
where an additional water system is
installed and the commissioners turn
it over to the city council for opera
ton, it is obligatory upon the coun-
ell TO take charge of the plant and
supply the patrons with water, pro-
vided a compensation is offered. 1t
has been tentatively agreed that the
commissioners of district No. ,, will
turn the system over to the council
and that after two years the profits
from the sale of the water will go
into the general water works fund

ed from them that in last years tax

The present legislature must either

GETTrEc AT SOME OF rae BIG rHIscs

Seemingly the legislature has been
proceeding slowly. yet there are out
groupings of evidence that an under
current of accomplishment is the pur-
pose. The joint committee appointed
to investigate departments and state
institutions and report a plan of action
for future economy in government, has
been Industrious n daily and night SEES
sions, and the frat of many matters to
be recommended for retrenchment has
been made public. ~ this it is sought
to combine twenty of the expensive de-
partments or boards and commissions
into four, estimating an annual saving
OF half million of dollars. Just as
fast as the committee can further con-
slider subject other like recommends
tions will follow 1t is out Just to ssy
of the new governor that he has asked
to sit with this committee and has done
so each day. In all Of the matters of
concern before the legislature and de-
partments Governor PhiIipp has taken
members of all factions and brands Of |
politics into bis confidence, inviting
them individually and otherwise. AS
an illustration, Thursday night last, he
invited the entire democratic member
ship of the assembly to his Office, ask
ing and urging their cooperation in
the plan Of economy and betterment of
the public service, assuring them that
ne was animated not as partisan, but
a citizen taxpayer and head of the gov.
eminent. telling them that all were re.
spoDsible with him for the conduct of
things. 1t was proper and gracious
innovation, and one appreciated by the
minority members. 1t is needless to
cay that each and every one of these
men gave the governor assurance that
they would stand by him in every par
ticular where the outlined policies do
not conflict with their conscientious
convictions. These men have been
made to feel that they will be part
of the general plan for economy and
efficiency in state affairs,
