LEGISLATORS PREFER
PER DIEM PAY.
Little Rock, Ark., February 21.—
The house spent considerable time
this afternoon discussing Mr. Staf
ford’s bill placing members of the
senate and house of representatives
on a salary of $360 for the term. It
was the sentiment of a majority of
house that the present per diem sys
tem should not be changed, and the
bill was defeated.
Mr. McGuigan introduced a bill to
change the lines between Garland and
Montgomery counties.
Mr. Eldridge introduced a bill au
thorizing Augusta, in Woodruff coun
ty, to mortgage or sell its property in
order to build a system of water
works.
Bills passed by the house were:
Repealing an act of 1899, allowing
common school directors to draw
warrants on the school fund for maps,
charts, etc.; amending the pension
laws so as to give the pension board
more jusisdiction in getting up evi
dence; amending the pension laws of
the state and defining those who shall
be entitled to pensions so as to in
clude the mothers of soldiers killed
during the civil war; providing for
separate apartments for white and
negro prisonors in the penitentiary
i stockades. camDS and countv iails
throughout the state.
Mr. Chester introduced a bill to
regulate the practice of osteopathy in
the state of Arkansas, and to provide
for a state board of osteopathic exa
miners, and tq? license osteopaths to
practice in this state and punish per
sons violating the provisions of this
act.
WILL VOTE ON AMENDMENT MONDAY.
The senate will make final disposi
tion of the Killough amendment to the
King anti-trust bill Monday. If the
amendment is adopted the bill will go
over for future action, as under the
rules it could not be passed on final
reading the same day. If the amend
ment is rejected the bill will be placed
on third reading and final passage.
The Killough amendment has already
consumed two days of debate and it is
very likely that several other speeches
will be made on the amendment Mon
day. Mr. Killough’s amendment was
adopted by the committee. It strikes
from the measure all reference to fire
insurance companies, which is about
the only objection the business men of
the State have presented against its
passage.
SESSION MAY BE EXTENDED.
The total number of bills introduced
in both branches so far is 548, of which
177 are in the senate and 371 in the
house. This is exclusive of forty joint
and concurrent resolutions. Under
the constitution the general assembly
shall be in session sixty days, but the
session may be extended by a vote of
the majority. Unless action is taken
hpfnrft Marnh 15? t,r> p.vt.pnrl thp nnnainn
the legislature will stand adjourned on
that day. As yet none of the regular
appropriation bills have been reported
and the most important work is yet to
be done. Should the two houses fail
to extend the session and adjourn
March 12 without having passed the
appropriation bills, the governor
would be forced to call an extra ses
sion. There is some talk quietly that
such a program may be followed by
the legislators.
MINERAL RAILROAD PLANNED.
Eureka Springs, Ark., Feb. 22—A
party of four capitalists from Detroit,
Mich., passed through here Saturday
en route to the Rush lead district in
Marion county. Messrs. Q. L. Mor
gan and L. S. Harris will start their
new mill at the Tyson mine, and Au
gust W. Koenig and P. M. Krausmann
will let the contract for a big mill at
the Anglo-American, also on Rush
creek. A syndicate of these and
allied interests will construct a mine
ral railroad, affording an outlet for
production of the entire district. It is
predicted that the coming spring will
. witness the greatest building activity
in its history throughout Arkansas
mineral belt. Extensive plans for
^ mills, reduction plants and general
development are now held in abey
f ance only by the season and the
weather.
T. P. Umsted has a baby boy in his
home, born Saturday, February 21.
WASHINGTON BIRTHDAY PARTY.
The birthday of him, who was “first
in war, first in peace and first in the
hearts of his countrymen” was very
appropriately observed Saturday af
ternoon, in the assembling of quite a
host of colonial dames, in response to
invitation, at the handsomely appoint
ed home of Mrs. J. H. McHugh.
Not alone was it in keeping with
the day memorialized by every detail
of this elaborately conceived and
beautifully oxecuted function, but in
accord with clever and ingenious hos
pitality, that found its reward in the
pleasure of the entertained.
In the softened light of candles,
with background shades of red and
blue and walls artistically arrayed in
flags, with a portrait of George Wash
ington occupying a position of conspi
cuity, a patriot’s blood could not help
but warm nor the onlooker fail to
share in the pleasure of the anniver
sary occasion, while America, Dixie
and other national airs were given
voice. The dames in costume also
found delight in the old Virginia reel.
The hostess was assisted in receiv
ing and entertaining by Mesdames
Wm. Mosby, T. E. Allen and T. E.
lviornson.
A game of questions relative to the
life of Washington was introduced,
the prize, a picture of the immortal
George with scenes of great events in
his life, was won by Mrs. T. D. Kin
man, Jr., while to Mrs. Ike Goldman
was awarded the distinction of telling
the best original, impromtu story of
Washington.
The refreshments followed out the
color scheme of red, white and blue
and consisted of cream and cake in
the prevailing colors, coffee, nuts and
bon bons.
Those in costume present were Mes
dames I. Goldman, R. M. Laird, L. J.
Lucas, L. Hirsch, J. W. Wallace, W.
A. Billingsley, 0. E. Crook, C. Simpson,
Wm. Mosby, T. E. Allen, T. E. Morri
son, J. H. McHugh, Misses Mary Laird
and Lula Empie.
The others present were Mesdames
W. R. Thompson, J. L. Jones, E. D.
Bracy, Clyde Woods, Arthur Fels,
Farley Price, John Blanchard, W. W.
Dutton, Wm. Bailey, B. M. Crow, R.
M. Johnson, W. A. O’Neal, G. A. Hill
house, T. W. Smith, L. E. Willis, T. B.

BALL FROM, PISTOL
GRAZED HIS HEAD.
A. J. Hunter, living 1 1-2 miles
from Remmel on the old Tom Honey
place, was in town Monday, having a
warrant sworn out for the arrest of
Pat McBride, whom he stated to an
Independent reporter, shot at him
Sunday, with intent to kill and ac
cording to Hunters story, it was only
a remarkable chance which saved his
life.
Hunter had warned Pat McBride to
keep off his place, as the latter had
had trouble with the former’s daugh
ter-in-law. Sunday about noon,
when Hunter left the house, McBride
entered and when the latter returned,
McBride assau'ted him with a knife
and pistol. Seeing that McBride was
aiming to fire, Hunter ducked his head
and the ball grazed the left temple,
making a flesh wound. Hunter then
landed on McBride with his left hand,
breaking one finger.
McBride was knocked down and
escaped. He has not been seen since
the assault and papers have been
issued for his arrest.
