ROAD CASE DECLARED
 FAVOR COMMISSIONERS
District No. Litigation Concluded in Chancery Court Thursday
 Afternoon.

The road cases in which numerous the commissioners of Read District No z were the defendants was decid- ed Thursday afternoon so far as the lower court is concerned by Judge Jas. D. Shaver handing down a decis- ion in favor of the commissioners of the district. The case has been in the chancery court for several months. There was long list of complaints set out, and at previous hearings these until the final hearing this week when virtually only one point was at issue This final hearing was begun Monday and continued until Thursday afternoon Numerous witnesses had to be heard and a mass of data and accounts was gone into. The pro- gress of the case with all it's points have been hard to follow. The main and last point at issue was whether or not lHe ldteIdIS Sd1he "lIh4h 'Ao provisions of the act, or whether or not the commissioners went beyond their legal authority in constructing them. The decision of the court held tfat the commissioners acted within their iogaI authoriiy Notice was given of al, appeal from the decision, and the matter will likely go up to the supreme c1urt for a final hear ing. Tine validity of the act was pass ed upon at a previous hearing by the chancellor. The right of assessing benefits on all the property in the district for the building of laterals is ore of the points which the plaln- tiffs rely upon for reversal, 1t IS understood.

 The governments revocable license transferring about 10000 acres of what formerly was federal military reserve, was received and accepted informally yesterday by Maj. H. F. Fredeman, assistant adjutant general. It is probable that a formal ceremony of acceptance may be staged later, but details yesterday had not been worked out.
 The transfer from the government to the state was inaugurated several weeks ago by Governor McRae, who desired the reservation for the Ar kansas National Guard. Secretary of War Weeks agreed and the transfer includes the entire camp, including the remOunt station and the rifle range, as well as all utilities, such as light and water lines. All railroad trackage owned by the government is transferred to the state.
 While the transfer is revocable. the only grounds upon which revocation which would require the use of the cantcnment again for the housing and training of federal troops.
 Major Fredeman now is in offices at Camp Pike where he is directing the construction of model barracks for the use of the guard during their encampment and summer schools for commissioned and noncommissioned officers.
 John L. Hunter, state secretary of the Y. M. e. A., was in conference yes terday with Maj. Fredeman concern ing the establishment of Y. M. c. A. facilities during the schools and the encampments.

The Turks tell story of venerable TOM
cat which had been official rat catcher for a
caliph for many years. As old age came upon
Tom and he felt his muscles stiffening he de-
termined to make the sacred pilgrimage to
the cat paradise were closed to him. So he
called his only son, handsome young cat, to
him and outlining the duties of the office.
placed him in charge and departed on his pill
grimage to the sacred city. Time passed ,and
the aged cat returned. In the street near his
masters house he was amazed to encounter an
emaciated cat, skin clinging to its ribs fur
gone in spots, and other evidences of extreme
feline poverty, beneath which guise he detected
the lineaments Of his once sleek son. After
embracing the youth, the venerable tomcat
questioned him:
by what favor of Allah have you come to
this misery, my SOM
Il am wholly at loss to account for 1t, IA.
Their" moaned the youth. "As soon as you de-
parted set about the business of DESTROYING
rats in the noble caliphs house and by the end
OF the firseweek there was not rat living. To
my surprise shortly after this the servants
drove me rom the house, calling me a useless
beast, though had ridded the house Of all its
pests. Since then have starved"
The old tomcat shook his head. ALAS. m,
SOD. you have made the error of youth By all
means you should have killed the rats, but moi
| all the rats. There Is such thing in this LII,
as too much service Remember the words o.
the prophet that perfection is for the hereafter
only This ancient legend. SO the story goes
has heen adopted as rule and guide for publ.

Fortune Teller.

The New York stock exchange will soon
bring out stock ticker ranking about fifth
faster than the model that now brings the sad
news to, the gentlemen who spend their days
in chairs before the blackboards in brokerage
Offices and bucket shops. 1t seems that the
sad news doesn't come fast enough. On a busy
day the ticker sometimes runs quarter of
an hour or more behind prices on the floor Of
the stock exchange. Since the market can do
a lot of shifting in Is minutes plungers will
welcome faster geared ticker. 1t brings them
closer to the battlefield where their dollars are
fighting heavy odds.
The stock ticker was invented by preacher,
DR.. Samuel S. Laws, back in Civil war days.
A gold exchange had been established in New
York to adjust the price of gold at regular in
tervals, thus letting bankers and other business
men know what their paper money was worth
on gold basis. A board of trustees met each
morning to adjust the price of gold. AS they
emerged from conference hundreds of messen-
ger boys pounced upon them, eager to rush the
gold prices to bankers, brokers and merchants.
The trustees, by the time the messengers got
through mobbing them, sometimes had to buy
new clothes. So they jumped at the chance
when Preacher Laws showed sketches for the
first electrcaNticker machine Young Thomas
Edison had charge of the telegraphing serv-
| ice.
The first stock tickers, Of course were crude
compared with the machines in glass cages
that spit out quotation ribbons today. Several
! thousand tape tickers are now in use, four.
ffths OF them recording the price waves o.
stocks and bonds. OF all machines invented
by man the stock ticker is easily the most in
teresting. Daily it regulates the emotions O
hundreds of thousands of people. What stor,
it could tell If it could talk. In the main tn,
story would be tragic-blasted hopes, explode,
dreams, thetts, prison terms, lost fortunes an,
suicides. The brighter side. the story o
lucky strikes-is the fame that lures tn
moths.

Bronchial Reaectiens,


Doctors these days are looking
into the bronchial tubes with the
|bronchoscope, and finding odds aud
ends lodged therein. such az but
tons, safety pins, teeth, portions OF
artificial dentures, and successful
ly removing these accidentally in
sufflafed or inhaled foreign bodies
SO that happy recoveries are often
obtained which would have been
out Of the question a generation
ago. The use of the bronchoscope,
however, is a rather serious expe-
dent resorted to in grave or des-
perate cases requiring exceptional
skill on the part Of the doctor. II
We had a bronchoscope asf simple
to use as the stethoscope is, we
should hear much less of "br0n-
chitis" and bronchial trouble" for
with such q diagnostic aid univer-
sally available, 1t would soon be-
come apparent to everyone that all
that produces cough and soreness
or pain in the chest is not bron-
chitis by any means. When the
chest begins to whistle or wheeze
there is some ground for incrimin-
ating the bronchial tubes. Indeed.
the doctor with his naked stetho-
scope or his lightly clothed ear
listens for wee fine whistling or
wheeling and hears such music
before he can positively deter
mile the patient has bronchitis. A
good half. Of all the cases of al
legged bronchitis or bronchial
trouble" have never uttered a sin
gle wheeze and are Incorrectly di-
agnosed, whether by the patient
himself or by a doctor who uses in
tuition or second sight rather than
ask the patient to bare the chest
to the waist for examination.
Acute bronchitis is very grave
illness in the elderly or the very
young, though seldom fatal in VIZ
orous adults. 1t is often the SEQUEL
Of coryza, unfortunately well
known as cold in the head" but
no more attributable to cold or ex-
posure in that sense than diph-
iberia is. Sometimes acute bron.
chitis prevails as an epidemic III
dependent Of influenza or other
specific respiratory infection. Bit
in most cases it is complication
or feature or a sequel of some
specific disease such as measles
whooping cough, typhoid fever. ma.
laFia or tuberculosis. Persons
much exposed to Indictment
weather and to element, are mucf
less subject to bronchitis thar
those who are carefully kept in
doors or who take e-travagant pre-
cautions to protect" themselve:
from the weather. To think o
acute bronchitis as cold settled
on the chest" as our benighted an
cestors did, is childish habi
which folks ought to outgrow, liki
: fearing the dark.
T Children who are kept constant
ly smothered in heavy clothing
particularly extra layers about TIL
neck and chest, are notoriousl,
