May Suppress Pool Halls.
Little Rock, July 19.— That
Arkansas cities have the legal
right to suppress billiard and
pool tables if they so desire,
just as cities may suppress ped
dlers, is the opinion of Attorney
General William L. Moose, hand
ed down yesterday for J. C. Pin
nez of Murfreesboro.
The statute authorizes muni
cipal corporations to license, tax
and suppress billiard tables,”
Mr. Moose says in his opinion.
"This seems to me to confer a
bundant authority upon corpora
tions to prohibit the use of such
tables. The supreme court has
held that a tax of $25 a day on
a peddler would be unreasonable
and void as a measure intended
to tax or regulate peddlers, but
the inference is clear that the
corporation might have sup
pressed peddlers. Tf it could
suppress peddlers, it would have
the right under the same stat
ute to suppress billiard tables.”

Is looked on as Incomplete If It dues

Score* of people lose their chancre
of being usppily married through melt
tag na unnecessary- obstacle of mon
ey. The Importance of it la often ex
aggers tad. Many n man hesitates tc
propose to n girl because of his smat
Income. Very often much misery, mis
understanding, and tangled lives resnlt
from the silence More unfortunate
for* affairs are the result or *nm na*
■et bees sal* than of spoken words.
When a man has a small, sure tn
•ome, and a prospect of lacrosse,
there Is no legitimate leason for his
sot speaking of his love: no reason
for that matter, to present marriage
People are so desperately afraid,
though, of beginning married life In s
small way. They fear the sacrifices
vhlch they will be called upon to make
—o* the criticism to which they will
be suDjected. Many years of happt
ness are lost In this way. It is such
i a mistake for young people to want to
j start marriage In the state that their
parents are ending It.
■ To delay marriage until a "cotnfor

Better Keep the Boy.
At nightfall the Junior partner's en
ultatlon of the day changed to ohagrla
and he clamored uo*«ily for the errand
boy's dismissal.
"Better think It over," the senior
partner advised.
"Why waste time la thinking,” the
Junior retoited, "when he s got to go?
Here I am, lyin? awake every night
for a week planning effective win
ilow decoration, which is turned into a
laughing stock the first day by the
stupidity of that boy, who leaves three
yards of bine woolen dust rag draped
ftroum* stiver tankards and trays of
diamonds.”
| "Well," said the elder Jeweler
; ‘people stopped and .ooked, dldn‘
they?”
“Tes, but what of It? That dust
rag?" growled the Junior
“That’s why I advise you to keep
the boy," advised the senior mildly, “if
It hadn't been for him I am afraid tu>

Bigelow .July 17.—While re
i pairing the roadbed of the
i [•''ourche River Valley and Indi
an Territory railroad at Rorie’s
Switch, near here .today, a sec
tion crew found 42 sticks of
dynamite which had been plac
ed beneath one of the ties. At
tached to the dynamite by a
copper wire was dry battery and
pressing against the tie was a
button which Section Foreman
E. E. Ross says the planters evi
dently expected would be press
ed by the wieght of the engine
causing the dynamite to explode.
He says that the battery prob
ably was in some manner short
; circuited, preventing the dyna
| mite from being exploded.
The batteries were wrapped in
a newspaper dated January,
11905, which is about the time
. one of the locomotives of this
: railroad was destroyed by dyna
mite which had been planted be
neath the ties.
This railroad extends from
Bigelow to the lumber camps of
the Fourche River Lumber Com
pany and daily transports hun
dreds of employes to the camps.
There is no clew to the identi
ty of the would-be dynamiters.
