TIE bill to increase the supreme court membership has passed the senate, and if indications be worth anything, it will pass the house; not however, without encountering great CT opposition than in the upper branch. There IS strong opposi- tion among the masses to the propos ed measure on the ground of econ omy. but, if the business of the court is expedited by the increase in mem bership, then the people, whose ser wants the judges are, will be benefit ted in the end.

CONWAY'S CRIME.
The Brutal Assassination of
 John M. clayton.

Last week our report of the assas- sination of John M. Clayton was un avoidably brief. The mere announc. ment that a cruel murder had been committed was all that could be learned until the second day after the cowardly occurrence. The Ga zette of the 3lst had a graphic ac count of the deplorable affair and to satisfy the demands of our readers for the facts in the case we repro duce from that journal the full de- tails, horrible as they are. The re- cital is painful in the extreme,

 THE INQUEST.
 As soon as the people could com pose themselves sufficiently Tuesday night messenger was dispatched for the coroner of Conway county. He lived at Blackvllle, six miles on the other side of Morrilton from PlummerviIle, and the messenger did not reach therein until ? o'clock that night. The coroner, Louis Hug. 8 German, came down and impannel- ed the following jury: c. D. Arm strong, G. F. Christenberg. E. D. Vain, J. H. Overstreet, R. L. Pate, w. F. Hobbs, w. k. Rambo. Riley Parker, J. F. Gals, T. B. Valley, Dan Patterson, G. T. Miller. The jury summoned Drs. Culom and Algood and Messrs. Womack and Allnutt as witnesses.
 Dr. Cullom testified as to his be ing summoned and finding Col. Clay ton dead. He described the wound as follows: The charge entered the head little to the rear and under heath the right ear, part of the occip ital bone was crushed, also the Lp. per vertebre of the neck was badly crushed and perhaps the second. All the large blood vessels leading from the brain to the heart were severed, as was also the larynx and the phar- ynx. They took out seven leaden balls on the left side of the neck, just back of the ear. There was al so an aperture, where they took out the balls, through which two bullets had escaped.
 Dr. $. E. Algood corroborsted all that Dr. Cullom had said.
 The testimony of Messrs. Allnutt and Womack was strictly in accord. ance with the facts given the Gazette epresentatlve.
 The jury having heart the tes timony rendered verdict of death 1 from gunshot wounds inflicted by 8 party or parties to the jury un- | known.

A Successful Physician.

In a large and lucrative practice running through number of years, my husband, by using Swift's Spe- cific, restored health to a great many people in whose cases all other reme- dies had proven useless. To give a list would be to write the history of stubborn maladies and remarkable and wonderful cures. I will mention the case of young man afflicted with blood poison for five years. He was helpless for year-was blind for some days, and hls case seemed incurable-for under the usual treat ment he had grown worse, until his condition was, to say the least, hor. rlble; rheumatism came on to add to his sufferings. Dr. Love prescribed Swift's Specific, and by it's use the poison was gradually forced out of hls system, the slght restored, the rheumatism cured, and to day he is a sound and healthy man. My hus band regarded Swift's Specific as the best known medicine for diseases which it professed to cure.

 No Trace Lett.
 The wife of one of my customers was terribly afflicted with loath- some skin disease, that covered her whole body. She was confined to her bed for several years by this af. tliction, and could not help herself at all. She could not sleep for a vlo lent itching and stinglng of the skin. The disease baffled the skill of the physicians who treated it. Her hus- band began finally giving his wife Swift's Specific, and she commenced to improve almost immediately, and in few weeks sne was apparently we'll. She is now hearty, fl ne look Ing lady. with no trace of the afflic ton left. Yours truly, J. E. SEARS,

Mrs VI. NJ. Hall. OF Clinton, Ia,
who has recently been here visiting
her sister, Mrs. w. Ii. Wilder, met
with remarkable experience at Roch-
ester last week. She was the guest of
a friend, Mrs. Page, Of that city. whose
husband conducts harness business
there. Among other places the ladies'
visited was Powers art gallery and
the tower While at the latter place
Mrs. Halls veil became detached from
her hat aud a slight breeze quickly
waited il over the railing and out OF
reach. Down il went toward the Main
street walk, 100 feet below. The ladies'
stood and watched its slow and waver-
ing descent until il had nearly reached
the pavement Suddenly il struck an
other current OF air and was borne
upward again. The ladies wa its
graceful movements curiously be-
came more and more interested the
airy fabric slowly travelled ba' al
most the same route il had takel its
descent, and their surprise knew no
bounds when the veil actually re-
turned to the tower and settled down
fairly and squarely on the owners
head. Mrs. Hall declares this 10 be
the fact, and those who met the lady
here certainly have no reason 10 doubt
her word.-Caledonia Advertiser.

peared TO be considerably disarranged,

ulvolunteer in the person of his young
daughter, Miss Hattie, who is very
small, but sharp and methodicaL She
was assigned the work of reassorting,
and is doing it well She is rather
annoyed on account of being a girl,
and announces, that, as second assist
