"A novel defense was made fora

claimed that the indictment against
his chont was detective and that
his client was not really a burglar,
because the latter was not actually
in the house, but merely introduced

window. Tho jury found the Of
fondrng head and arm guilty, and
the judge sentenced them 10 FIVE
years imprisonment, allowing the

Let us Stand up and be Counted,

l take it for granted, that every
true Temperance man in Arkansas
has a desire to stand up and be
counted in the coming Presidential
election. The liquor element OF
these United States intend TO be
counted to ~ man. Temperance
men can do the same, and ought
now to do 1t. But as 1t has not been
deemed expedent in this State to
call n Convention and provide cleo.
tors on the st. John and Daniels
ticket, and, since, for various reas.
ons, that ticket straight could not
now secure the real strength OF our
temperance or prohibition element,
a plan by which every Temperance
voter can, il he chooses, vote with
his old party, and at the Same time
be counted in tho record OF the pop.
ular vote, is very desirable, and for
many and very welghty reasons.
That plan has been found as iol.
lows: Let every voter, of whatev.
er party, who does not now choose
to vote the straight prohibition
ticket, vote for the state electors OF
his party, but put John p. ST. John
aud VIM. Daniels, for President and
Vice President at the head of his
ticket in lieu OF the party eandi.

by striking out, and supplying the
other names instead.
By this method the result will be
all the same SO far as your party is
concerned as though you bad voted
regularly, for your chosen electors
will cast the state vote accordingly,
but, in the record of the popular
vote, for which the law provides
you will be counted for Prohibition
But, ought temperance men now
stand up and be couLted2 By all
means, yes. Yes, If you are true
blue, and not ashamed of your prin.
ciples. Yes II you want the great
political parties we represent to see
what they seem determined not to

to Sit down and let the united LID

shall bind you and your children

The vote of united liquordom

other party or political issues"

Good Advice.

Wake up. Run your town with
vim, or sell out and leave IT, Who
are all the time trying to get out of
the town or out Of the country,
never build up either. But some
60 ahead in business. Run the
town for all there is In 1t. Get up
steam and keep 1t up or quit the
whole thing. Do you want bus
mess men to come to your town,
people who want to make it their
homer Then bury from sight all
local differences, all spite. Work
no more for a few individuals, but
all work for the common prosperi-
ty and for mutual benefit. Wake
up; rub your eyes, roll up your
sleeves and go to work. Don't go
to work with fear and trembling
but take 1t tor granted that work
will tell. Leave results to them
selves and all unite and make the
biggest kind of try.-Ex.

HP A, j. Macdonald. of 5Tesa City,
Killed by a Fall.

The startling information reached
town on Saturday evening that Mr..
A. J Macdonald, of Mesa City, son
of A. j. Macdonald, well known here
as = contractor and builder, having
put up The elegant and extensive
building Owned and occupied by
Messrs. Ellis s. Coz, had fallen duwn
dead that day. MIR. Mcdonald was
young man in the prime of life
and the very picture of health and
strength, AID the announcement of
his death occasioned not little sur
prise.
On inquiry it was asceriained that
-on Thursday last he was thrown
.from the high seat Of wagon at
some one of the river or canal cross
dngs and struck on his head: He
was badly stunned and the driver
had much difficulty in getting INN
iuto the wagon and home. BY Fri
day morning he seemed to have re-
covered, and WAS about during the
day and part of Saturday, though
complaining Of feeling unwcil. On
Saturday he was seen TO suddenly
fail, and he expired almost imme-
diaiely. An Examination of his head
showed a severe confusion and
doubtless the conclusion of the brain
was so severe that paralysis took
place.
Mr.. Macdon Id was highly re-
spected as a man and good neighbor
by his acquaintanees, and leaves
lafge circle Of mourning relatives
and friends and, saddest of ali,
young wife and family thus sudden
~ g5ereft of tender, manly care,
brave, strong protector, and fond
husband ard father, when 10 mortals
it would seem that his love, his
strength, his protection were most
needed.
His funeral took place yesterday
AT his home in Mesa City. and was
attended by the whole Of that COM
