Total, $1,605,216.
The estimated receipts for the
next two years are:
Taxes, 1904, $550,000.
Taxes, 1905, $425,000.
Tax on increased railroad val
uation $65,000.
Liquor license, etc., $400,000.
Balance on hand May 1 $187,009.
Total, $1,627,000.
This will leave an estimated
balance of $22,216 in the state
treasury to the credit of the gen
eral revenue fund at the meet
ing of the next legislature. The
above statement does not include
the appropriation of $40,000 for
mileage and per diem for the
legislature passed last week, all
of which has not been expended.
The balance given does not in
clude the funds to the credit of
the state capitol sinking fund,
school fund, school fund, swamp
land fund, and other funds.
The total amount of money in
the state treasury to the credit
of all funds on May 1, 1905, was
$601,231.04.
The cost of the last legislature
is approximately $110,000. The
legislature of 1903 cost $132,000.
Very few of the appropriations
named have been approved by
the governor, and it is freely
predicted that he will make a big
hole in them. It is thought he
will prune the general and the
deficiency bills, and veto several
other appropriations outright.
MAN AND WOMAN
ARE BOTH HURT.
Wynne, May 7.—M. C. Bevins,
clerk at the freight office in this
city, and Miss Ara Holland,
while returning from an enter
tainment at the home of Mrs.
Bell in West Wynne, were struck
by an engine on the Union street
crossing, and Bevins sustained
serious injuries which may neces
sitate the amputation of his right
leg, which was crushed just
above the ankle. He was sent
to the hospital at St. Louis. Miss
Holland was slightly bruised.

that all
1 to live in that town, but these
1 contributions should be entirely
i voluntary. Paying enforced
! tribute to a little burg that has
' no other source of revenue is
j somewhat galling, and we can
i only hope for the time when all
the lots in that place will have
been s^ld and the bubble per
1 mitted to burst, as it will.
This is not an attack upon Cot
ter, but a plain statement of
J facts. The circulars of the Red
Bud Realty Co., compared with
existing conditions, will confirm
j this. Were the appearances of
; life occasioned by the compul
; sory laying over there missing, !
! a graveyard would be a lively I
| place in comparison. Any fair
1 minded man will admit this.
| But we will put up with the
freight trains until such time as
it will be the policy of the company
to put on passenger service. We
will do this because we can’t;
help ourselves.

JUDGMENT REVERSED.
Little Rock, May 7. —Mr. Jus
tice Wood delivered the opinion
of the court in the case of the
Western Tie and Timber Com
pany et al. against the Newport
Land Company Saturday.
This was a suit by the appel
lees against appellants for an in
junction to restrain appellants
from cutting timber, the appel
lees setting out that they had
title to the lands on which the
alleged trespass occurred by bond j
for title.
The question arose here on the j
sufficiency of the complaint. The
court held that the demurrer
should have been sustained, say
ing that the case was ruled by
Meyer vs. Hawkins in the 67th
Arkansas, 413.
The complaint did not show
that the mischief sought to be
enjoined would be remediless at
law. Insolvency of the defend
ant is not alleged, showing that
there would be continuing tres
passes, or there will be an irrep
arable injury, or that the tres
pass complained of will be an ir
reparable injury to the freehold.
Judgment is reversed, with
directions to sustain the demur
' rer to the complaint for further
: proceedings.

HAVE TOWN COW HABIT.
“Ed Sharpe reports that he
dreamed he was about to be run
over by a towm cow last night.
He “hauled off” to give her “a
swipe” and was awakened to
discover that he had hit the bed
post so hard that all the skin was;
knocked off the back of his j
hand.” ‘'The mounted cow po- j
liceman has been getting busy
in North Jonesboro, where the
vote was 51 to 4 in favor of free
cows, and the industry of the
cow policeman is not a bit popular
with North Jonesboro people.”

Little Rock, May 7.—The Ar
kansaw Travelers’ delegation
from Newport, accompanied by
their wives, left Hot Springs on ;
their special car Casino at 6 p. 1
m. Saturday.
Aboard the car were the secre
tary-elect, Ed McElwee, of
whom the delegation was very
proud and felt honored to get
to “ride in the same coach with
him,” President and Vice Presi
dent George Turner and L. H.
Moore, who accompanied them
as far as Little Rock.
All aboard enjoyed the trip
home, repertoire and witticism;
running high, which was indulg
ed in by Col. Moore, the only “J. |
I.” Sturdivant of Newark, R. S. j
Kirkpatrick and others.
The party reached here and
were given supper at 8 o’clock, i
after which they were compelled i
to part company with the largest I
and jolliest crowd that attended
the association this year, -and
with whom we are expecting to
meet in May, 1906.

This morning about 11:30 Con-1
stable Mark Phillips, armed with ,
a search warrant issued by Jus- j
ticc of the Peace Barnett, seized j
thirty-two cases of beer in the j
express room at the Frisco depot. 1
The cases were consigned to ‘M,’
Jonesboro, the ‘M’ enclosed in a
diamond, being the only marks I
on the cases. This beer was;
Pabst in pint bottles. This is
the size that is sold in the “ti
gers” at 15c, in place of the sa- j
loon glass of beer at 5c. ;;
The beer was hauled to the!
county jail for scorage and placed '
with the five cases seized by Con
stable Phillips recently. If it is
not claimed according to the pro- i
cess of law required it will be
spilled as in former cases.—

WASHOUTS BECOM
ING NUMEROUS.!;
The recent heavy rains have!
played havoc with the operation
of the branch trains on the Iron
Mountain during the past few
days and the branch train did
not reach here until 5 o’clock on |
Sunday morning.
Beyond Batesville the worst of;
the storm was felt. A cloud
burst occurred at Sulphur Rock
and a large trestle located at this
point was put out of business.
While the trestle is not washed
away it is out of line and will re
quire some time to repair. The
trains are considerably delayed,
but without any further inter
ferences will be running regu
larly wiihin a few days. *
