Little Rock, Jan. 27-The house yes- £
iterday, by a vote of 93 to 3, passed j
'the Keel anti-trust bill, which is an
[exact copy of the King bill pending in ,
the senate, which received the en- i
dorsement of the last Democratic
[state convention.
! The house adopted a concurrent
i resolution directing a thorough inves

I of the convict farm purchase and of
l|the penitentiary management, and
It empowering the committee to ad
S j minister oaths and to send for per
I sons and papers,
j A number of new bills were pre
sented in both branches.
The senate spent much of the day
in discussing the Pinnix bill creating
the office of county school superin
tendent.
The governor sent a message to tne
senate, vetoing the newspaper and
stamps act, taking the view that it
was unconstitutional, not having re
ceived a two-thirds majority.
The governor, in explaining why he
vetoed the bill, said that it was un
constitutional, and that it tended to
increase the compensation of the
members of the assembly by the mem
mers now in the session; that it was
njkr.ber a necessary nor a contingent

HOW HIS FATHER TRAVELED.
There is a senator in the general as
sembly who always declines to com
pl: in at the irregularities of railroad
schedules, or to sigh for the future day
of trains always on time. That sena
tor is R. J. Wilson, who was president
of the last senate. He has been in the
senate for fourteen years, twelve of
them consecutively. The reason that
Mr. Wilson never complains of late
trains is that his father, Hon. A. M.
Wilson, who is still living, of Wash
ington county, which, as the Fifth
district, Senator Wilson represents,
was a member of the Arkansas senate
before the day of railroads, and his
stories of the hardships of travel in
the olden time have imbued his sou
with the more practical idea that it is
better to have a bad train than no
train at all. Mr. Wilson, Sr., was a
member of the senate from Washing

Arkansas was given statehood. There
were no means of travel then, except
in a few stage lines between principal
points, but horseback. Washington
county is about 200 miles from Little
Rock, lying about midway between
Fort Smith and the Missouri line, and
bordering on the territory. When
Mr. Wilson, the elder, came to Little
Rock to aid in framing some of the
early laws of the state, many of which
are still extant, he rode horseback the
entire distance, the trip requiring six
days of continuous riding. He swam
rivers where there was no ferry, and
often picked his way through almost
impassable mountain ranges. Now,
when the present senator thinks about
saying something unpleasant of the
railroads, he thinks twice—the second
time of his father’s experience in the
l forties.—Gazette.

WALNUT RIDGE
FURNISHES SURPRISE.
Dr. Ed Ponder of Walnut Ridge and !
Miss Nora Duffey of Batesville formed I
the parties to a surprise wedding Sat- J
urday evening in the former city, j
They have long been sweethearts, but j
even intimate friends did not know
that planning had progressed thus far,
when new's of the plighting of their
troth at the Methodist parsonage,
Rev. Mr. Fisackerly officiating, came
suddenly to their ears.
The feeling of surprise was quickly
turned however into one of congratu
lation, as both bride and groom are
very popular and their many friends
were cordial in wishes for their hap
piness and prosperity.
Attorney-General Murphy holds
mt cripples are not exempt from
reet or road duty in cities or towns, ,
i the law makes no exception in its
oquirements on behalf of any male
erson between the ages of 18 and 45.
[e says: “The general road law ex
mpts persons who are physically un
ble to work, but it does not apply to
he working of the streets of cities or
owns, unless it is declared in the or
dnance,” which the cities and towns
,re empowered to pass, providing
hat money may be paid in lieu of the
,erformance of the work. He has
tlso decided that there is no provision
n the law to authorize school direct
ors to expend school funds for the in
surance of school property.
COAL FOUND AT WARSAW.
Warsaw, Jan. 26.—It is reported
the a rich vein of coal has been found
on the farm of James Joiner by Peter
Beal of Little Rock, who is said to be
working for some coal syndicate.
Coal has been known to exist in that
vicinity for some years, but there was
no idea of its extent.
The find was made about sixteen
miles northeast of Little Rock and
only about one mile east of the survey
I of the Arkansas Northern Railroad,
j in the neighborhood of Bethel church,
i on Bayou Meto.
