Last Wednesday the citizens of Mem
phis saw an unusual sight. DR.. w. D..
Jones, of Osceola, Arkansas, stopped
oyer in the city on his way to the peni-
Tertiary at Little Rock, to which he had
been sentenced for the term of two
years.
The doctor was not escorted by any
officer, and it was soon learned that the
sheriff at Osceola had allowed him to go
on parole, relying on his word that he
would surrender himself at the peniten-
tiary The prisoner could easily have
escaped, bat would not. He is man
of honor and kept his word.
Dr. Jones is New Yorker who has re-
sided some years in Arkansas. About
two years ago he found an overseer in a
compromising attitude with Mrs. Jones
and killed him on the spot. One grand
Jury returned no Indictment but Sec
ond Jury indicted him for murder. The
case was vigorously prosecuted and re-
suited in verdict of voluntary man
slaughter and two years sentence.
In the meantime he secured a divorce
and married again. lie is very popular

ANOTHER VETO.

Measure.

The Governor Kills president Claws Pet
Measure.
Governor Northen has vetoed the edu-
cational bill, which said, in addition to
studies now taught, hygiene, history
and elementary treatise on the constitu
ton of the State and OF the united
States shall be taught, There is pro-
vision in the bill that no teacher now in
service shall be discharged on account
of inability to teach the new studies.
Governor Northen's veto is on the
ground that if children are entitled to
this instruction they expect to have it,
and should not be debarred on account
of incompetent teachers. This is the
measure President Clay introduced, and
was his pet bill.

KEEP YOUR BLOOD PURE.

One of the most.frequent and insidious
causes of bad health is impure blood.
This disorder of the system does not al
ways manifest itself outwardly by sores,
erupUions, etc, quite often the soreness
is altogether internal. The kidneys feel
sore, the liver feels sore, the lungs feel
sore, and decay sets in that too often
ends fatally. 1t is much more serious
for blood poison to manifest itself inter-
nally than externally. In such cases
neglect means death, fol the vital organs
once contaminated grow worse unless
they grow better, and will never grow
better unless the proper remedy is APP
piled. There is no remedy that equals

MEssBs. WALSH and Howell have not
been very successful as protectionist
leaders in Georgia. their strength and
popularity have never saved them from
defeat in democratic convention, when
they sought to impose protection on the
party. Their defeats have been some
what frequent and we have not seen in
their papers recently indications of dis
satisfaction with the revenue tariff policy
of the democratic party. We supposed
that frequent defeat in Georgia and COM
plete route at Chicago had converted
them, as well as their papers, from FOL
lowing after the protection heresy. But
the dispatches show that when the gen.
tlemen are in New York their personal
political opinions are about the same
that they used to be in the old days
when democrats, under the lead of Mr..
Randall, were preventing reduction of
