j HOUSE ACCEPTS
HOT SPRINGS’ INVITATION.
Long Discussion Over Constitutional
Amendment To Exempt New Fac
tories From Taxation—Keel
Bill Made Special Order
For Thursday.
Little Rock, April 2.—The house
yesterday accepted an invitation to
visit Hot Springs on Saturday, April
11. The invitation was extended by
Representative Gantt on behalf of the
city of Hot Springs.
Mr. Keel asked that house bill No.
472 exempting Newport from the pro
visions of the three-mile local option
law, be made a special order for
Thursday morning.
Mr. Clement objected, owing to the
absence of Chairman Atkins of the
temperance committee and the fact
that those citizens of Newport who
opposed the bill desired further time
in which to have a hearing.
A motion to make the bill a special
order as requested by Mr. Keel pre
vailed.
The house reconsidered and reject
ed an amendment to the lunatic asly
um appropriation bill prohibiting the
board of trustees from employing
relatives. An anti-nepotism amend
ment was also stricken from the Con
federate Home appropxiation bill.
A prolonged discussion occurred in
committee of the whole over a prop
osition to appropriate $400 per annum
for the service of a chaplain at the
home. The amendment was voted
down and the committee voted in fa
vor of continuing the present plan of
the penitentiary chaplain devoting a
portiou of his time to the Confederate
Home.
The house passed a bill by Mr. Fu
trell to regulate primary elections in
the First senatorial district and the
Gantt bill increasing the salary of the
county and probate judge of Garland
county to $2,000 por annum.
The house engaged in an interesting
debate over Representative Gauna
way’s joint resolution proposing an
amendment to the constitution so as
to exempt from taxation for a period
of seven years capital invested with
in the next twenty-five years in cot
ton and woolen mills. The measure
was finally placed back on its second
reading for amendment.
The senate defeated Senator Mc
Ferrin’s bill regulating expenses in
criminal cases.
Senator Adams’ bill requiring sa
loons and gambling houses to close at
7 p. m. was made a'special order for
next Wednesday morning.
Senator Price’s world’s fair appro
priation bill was also made a special
order for next Wednesday morning.
The house passed the Jacobs bill for
the better regulation of practice in

SAFE-BLOWERS STIR
COTTON PLANT PEOPLE.
The little town of Cotton Plant is
quite aroused over several burglaries
committed there Wednesday night,!
which showed bold work upon the j
part of the desperadoes but little sue- j
cess in securing booty.
The store of Dr. R. R. James was
entered and the safe blown open, j
which contained however but six i
dollars. The postoffice was also brok-j
en into as was the Choctaw depot,
where all the express packages were
rifled, but it is not thought that any
thing of much value was found.
The crooks seemed to have accom
plished their work without disturbing
the town and after cutting the tele
graph wires both north and south,
made their escape on a hand car,
going towards Brinkley.
The store of R. R. James was rob
bed just about a year ago, when a safe
was ruined and now the little town
undergoes a second visit from such
criminals.
Messrs. J. W. Grubbs and A. G.
Anderson spent Wednesday night
there, but were allowed to continue
on their way next morning without
being held for examination.

FEMALE COUNTERFEITER
PLACED UNDER ARREST.1
Jonesboro, April 1.—Minnie Kellura, ^
the white woman who was arrested at
Big Bay for raising a one-dollar bill to
represent a ten, having pasted a
cipher cut from a Confederate bill
next to the figure “1” on the dollar
bill and passed it on Merchant Kitter
man at Big Bay. The woman claims
she got the bill from a man and did
not know it was raised. ,
The woman is young and handsome.
She came to Big Bay from Kentucky
about a year ago. The proof of her
guilt seems conclusive.
She was sent today to Helena to be
tried in federal court.
The woman has an unsavory repu
tation.
