HON. L. A. BYRNE.

Our former fellow citizen, Hon. L.
A. Byrne, OF Texarkana, is an appli-
cant for Consul to Nicaragua. Judge
Byrne is a aative of Lafayette county
and lawyer OF ability. Upon the
eve of his professional career, the
town of Texarkana was located. With
a keen business perception, he saw his
opportunity and syailed himself OF
its advantages by hosting his single
in the then embryo city. This talent
ed young man, with energy and close
application to his profession, soon
gained a lucrative practice and came
to the front acknowledged as a lead
ing member of the Texarkana bar.
Being staunch Democrst, his SER
vices have frequently been called into
eminent positions of honor and trust.
We deem him eminently qualified for
the position to which he aspires, and
trust that his claims may be duly
recognized.
Since the above was placed in type
we are pleased to see that Senator
Jas. X. Jones has recommended Judge
Byrne, and that his prospect for APP
pointment is fattering.-Fafaye
Recorder.

Lily johnson Free.

Our readers will readily recall the
incidents of that most startling crime,
in which Freda Ward, of Goldust,
Ark, lost her life on the streets of
the city of Memphis, Tenn, at the
hands of Alice Mitchell. 1t will also
be remembered that Lily johnson,
Alice MitchelPs companion at the time
of the murder, was jointly indicted
with her for the effense. Since the
confinement of the murderess in the
insane asylum, Miss johnson has re-
NAMED under bond until yesterday,
when the charge against her was dis
missed by the order of Judge Scruggs,
who succeeds Judge DuBose, i'm
peached. Judge DuBose had persist
emily refused to dismiss the case. II
was Judge Scruggs first official act.
Lily johnson was with Alice when
the latter drove down to the wharf to
find Freda. She held the horse while
Alice ran--as she then said--to "kiss
Freda goodbye" The kiss was given
and at the same time Alice drew a
razor across Freda's throat, killing
her almost instantly. 1t has never
been shown that Lily knew Alice's in
tention or aided in the murder.
Since the trial Of Alice Mitchell
Lily has been an invalid. The nerv-
GUS strain she was under at the time
completely Frustrated her, and several
times her life has been despaired Of,

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products TO
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup Of Figs
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; eflectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being well Informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.

A Man of Many Melees.

The story that an eminent border
leader and hero, Captain Hatfield, of
the West Virginia line, who escaped all
the bullets of the McCoys during the
Tug Fork tug Of war, which deluged
some of our Kentucky soil with very
bad article of blood several years ago,
had passed in his checks during poker
game in the wilds Of West Virginia is
Indignantly denied by the friends of that
gentleman. They assert that Captain
Hatfield is reformed man and no
longer exposed to the casualties of feuds
and poker games. The Williamson (W.
Va.) New Era, which makes small
circle Of light in the dense darkness of
the Hatfield section, refers to the re-
ported death Of the gallant hero and
says:
We can most emphatically deny the
above, and will state that Captain Hat
field has been an invalid for the past six
months from the effects Of a wound re-
ceived when boy. We understand that
he has professed religion, and that no
poker games have been played in his
house for some time. It is unfair to even
such men as he to circulate reports as
the above without any foundation

the destruction of mills, bridges and

1t is we'll known that Opaque globes
absorb very large amount of the light

directly below the lamp. To avoid these
difficulties a new style of globe has been
brought out in France made of transpar
ent glass with circular depressions, hay
ing such faces as to form lenses similar to
the well known lighthouse lenses, the
curvatures of which are so calculated that
they refract and reflect so as to dlituse
the light. Such globes may be made OF

pensive they diffuse light much more
economically than absorbing opal or

described by medical man who gave
evidence in an English court. Two col

ness went to the doctor 10 minutes after
they were seen by the police. The doc
tor made them walk up and down the
surgery, which they did in a straight
line, and they then stood erect with their

with extended fingers. The witness af-
firmed that the latter was a severe or
deal for persons under the influence of
alcohol, and as the colliers passed
through it without signs of shakiness
