Wilson, assistant general passenger agent of the Missouri Pacific, with headquarters at Memphis, died at 2-15 o'clock Monday afternoon in he" had bcehTor some time undergoing treatment. Mr. Wilson was a native of Alameda. and bad been with the Missouri Pacific Railway for many years. He was at one time stationed in their employ at Fort Worth, Texas.

For the past five or six years he has been district passenger agent of the Missouri Pacific, with headquarters in Chicago, and. was generally as one of the brightest and most valuable' passenger men ia the service of the system. H. D. Wilson and wife of this eity were witfe bint when he1 died, having gone: np from Memphis a few days before upoa information that bis condition was critical.

Pine Bluff, Nov. 15. (Special.) For souio months has been an Increasing shortage, of cars at this place. From time to tiiuo the matter has been taken up with' the officials of the road interested. Fruin time to time relief has been jjroiuiacit- e' fort haB been the operating ollicials to furnish alt ears.

needed. This they havo bean -unable to do. The shippers of this city ami other points on the Valley Bout' are clamoring for moro cars. The sitimtiou here ia out of tho ordinary. There.

is-not sufficient room to "spot" ears for tire shipprs. A new loading platform is being erected and when this ia eomploted tho facilities will have been increased enormously. Whilo this is -being done tho shippers themselves could do a great deal to relieve the local situation. In cc-rtuin caseB shippers' havo ordered cars for loading before-1 lis loading was in their warehouses. asked by a representative of the Democrat why this was done the following statement was made: "Wo know there ie a car shortago if wo don't put orders in ahead of the time they arc to' be used we will not get them in time." Thus it is that a "largo number of cars re tied up Another way in which the shippers could aid is tho unloading of cars as soon as they are placed.

The demurrage is low and in many cases the wholesalers hero hnve insufficient stor-ago room and it i cheapei1 to pay do-murrngo than to dray the merchandise to tho warehouse and then to the cars again. The matter of the qitick movement of freight out of 1'ine Bluff to way stations is receiving the attention of both the operating department and the traf fic department. Many complaints have be made whore it ia claimed shipments have been delaved five and silt days on short hauls. This, it will bo remembered, has been caused principally by tiie qunrantino regulations, which havo been in force throughout the southern part of tho Btato for ftein0 time. Since the raising of the quarantine it has been noccsaary to put- a -now superintendent over the Valley division, Mr.

Moriey, the former superintendent, having left the service of tho system. A new trainmaster has also been employ ed and these officials', "While competent railroad men, are -comparatively now to that section of the ''Country and are just now becoming acquainted with the situation. This trouble is being rectified rapidly at this ti mo arid General J3upernteadent Tyler," who was here Monday night, made tne Statement that freight would bo moved' out of Pine liiuif and to way stations on schedule time.

The entire order of seventy-five coaches ia to be delivered by March 1, 1906. Continuing Mr. Black Bays: "When we get these fine new smoking cars on iur overland trains, our sorvice will be is good as it possibly can bo made. With our new balanced conjpound engines we have enough of them to use on all the through passenger trains on the system west of Albuquerque as well as east of that point, and from the engine to the rear Pullman on all of our through trains the equipment will be such that will have a word of -r.

ANOTHER WONDERFUL CURE BY CUTICURA "I was afflicted with psoriasis for thirty-five years. It was patches all over my body. I used three cakes 01 Doap, six Doxet Cuticura Ointment, and two bottles of Cuticura Resolvent. I bathed with the Soap, applied the Ointment once a day, and took the Resolvent as directed.

In thirty days I was completely cured, and I think permanently, as it was about five years ago. "The psoriasis first made its appearance in red spots, generally forming a circle, leaving in the center aspot about the else of a silver dollar of sound flesh. In a short time the affected circle form a havy dry scale of a whit silvery appearance and would gradually drop off. To remove the entire scales fey bathing or using oil to if ten then the flesh would be perfectly raw, and a light discharge ef bloody substance "would oose out. That scaly crust would form again in twenty-four hours.

It Was worse on my arms and limbs, although it was fn spots all over my body, also on my scalp. If I let the scales remain too Ions- without remove far by bath or otherwise, the akin would crack and bleed.

i DIVISION CHANGE IS NOT CONFIRMED Tho statement concerning the change of division point to Batesville on the White river lino can not bo confirmod. At tho offiee of Superintendent F. W. Greon of the Arkansas division, who also has chargo of the White river line to Cotter, there ia nothing known of it. The statement was mado there today that the management had contemplated having the engine crews lay over at Batesville instead of Cushman, but that nothing definite had resulted.

If the change was made, which would have the effect of having tho local freight run between Newport and Batesville instead of between Newport and Cushman, Batesville would not then bo a freight, division point.

"To live wthin one's income is the only sure road to happiness," began Brother Sage in the hour devoted to discussion in the P. C. Club. "It-is into Micawber'B mouth I believe that Dickens put the words, 'In come nineteen shillings, expenditures eighteen shillings and six penceresult happiness. Income nineteen shillings, expenditures nineteen shillings and six pence result "A powerful argument of the tem perance people is that a moderate drinker may become a drunkard, but a total abstainer cannot possibly.

I am not a temperance reformer, but the same argument applies to making bills. The man who buys on credit may, and indeed too often does, livs beyond his means. The ma who pays cash always lives within his income. "One is -so liable to become involved unwittingly. Yon make bills that 70a know your next month's salary will cover.

But you don't figure that 70a may get sick, or be laid off, or tons of yonr family get sick and doctor's and drug bills accumulate and when you once get behind it is all off with you then and in trying to pull oat you generally get deeper in.
