Youth Leaps to Death.
Fort Smith, Sept. 17.—David
Mitchell, aged 17, whose pa
rents reside 10 miles south of
Mulberry, was killed while leap
ing on a ferry boat owned by W.
H. Ferrell at Mincher’s Ferry,
three miles southeast of Mul
berry, late yesterday afternoon.
The boat was leaving the land
ing and the youth attempted to
jump from the bank to the boat.
He failed to land on the boat
and his head struck on the
apron of the craft. He fell into
the river and was drowned. The
body was recovered 30 minutes
later, but efforts to revive the
lad were unsuccessful.
To Lower Freight Rates
Fort Smith, Sept. 17—The
Iron Mountain railroad an
nounced today that effective
Friday the demands of loca
shippers and jobbers for a re
duction on east bound freighi
for Arkansas points would be
granted. East bound traffic
leaving Fort Smith assumes ar
interstate rate because the Iror
Mountain line swings into Okla
homa for a few miles. De
mands for a reduction or $
change in the system failed tc
bring a response from the offi
cials and the line was boycotted
by local shippers beginning
Monday. The freight in the fu
ture will be routed by the Fris
co line so as to obtain an intra
state rate. The reduction in the
tariff is 30 per cent.

University Opens Forty-First
Year.
Fayetteville, Sept. 17.—The
University of Arkansas entered
upon the forty-first year of
scholastic work this morning.
The attendance was larger than
at any time since the prepara
tory department was discontin
ued several years ago. Conser
vative estimates are that the en
rollment will be at least one
third greater than last year.
The young women’s dormito
ry is entirely filled and there is
a waiting list of more than 25.
The three dormitories for young
men are nearly filled and every
train is bringing newcomers.
Arriong the counties that show
largely increased representation
are Sebastian, Crawford, How
ard, Pulaski, Phillips and Col
umbia.
The exercises were opened
with a hymn by the choir, fol
lowed by a brief scripture read
ing by the Rev. Mr. Hancock, of
the Christian church and pray
er by the Rev. M. N. Waldrip, a
solo by Mrs. Mary Bateman, af
tor which President J- C. Futrall
delivered an address. His ev
ery word was one of good ad
vice and showed a deep thought
and knowledge of the vital
things upon which depend the
building of strong character
Committees of the faculty and
of the Christian Aid Association
are meeting every train and are
assisting those who cannot get
into the dormitory to find places
in the private homes of the city

Good Reasons For It.

Many readers will profit by the
I following:
Mrs- E. M. Baker, W. Pleasant
St., Searcy, Ark., says: “Kid
ney trouble fastened itself upon
me in a mysterious way and I
[ran down so rapidly that I was
in bad shape before I realized it.
I had backache and dizzy spells.
The kidney secretions were also
[disordered and my joints swell
ed. When I was fortunate to
learn of Doan’s Kidney Pills, I
got a box and used them. They
soon gave me relief. I willingly
confirm my former endorsement
of this remedy.”
