Gov. Fishback Commends the Ladies
In Perpetnating the Memory OF
Arkansas MT the Fair.

aWhat do you think of the Ladies'
Columbian Memorial?" the reporter
asked Governor Flshback.
II think they should be encour-
aged. / congratulate them Oh what
progress they have already made. he
answered ut Is eminently appropri-
ate that the work should have been
done under the auspices of the ladies'.
"Evidences from the recent census
reports are abundant that the South
ern states are forging to the front OF
their Northern sisters at a rapid rate
and in almost every department. of
life and labor, and that Arkansas is
going to take a front rank with her
Southern sisters. Among these evil
dences, not the least, is the active
interest The ladies are taking IN public
affairs. and more especially what may
not inappropriately be termed the
aesthetic portion of public affairs. 1t
was to the heroic and patriotic efforts,
of the ladies of Arkansas that we had
a building at the great Worlds Fair
at all. 1t was by lady of Arkansas
that this beautiful and tasteful build
ing was designed. 1t was to the
ladies Of Arkansas that we are indebt-
ed for the tasteful ornamentation OF
our building, which attracted univer-
sal attention and admiration of the
milliona who visited the great expo
silion, and which opened the eyes of
the world to the fact that Arkansas
was no longer wild Western state
no longer the home of the "Arkansaw
Traveler," but state of culture, OF
refinement, and of taste.
TT is therefore pre- eminently APP
propriate that the ladies of Arkansas
should seek to perpetuate the memory
of .an event of which Arkansas and
Arkansans have so many reasons to
be proud. I hope that all who have
furniture belonging to the Worlds
Fair building will contribute them to
this ladies' organization. Little Rock

Senator Jones Wanted in Indiana.

A gentleman in this city received
a letter Saturday from Thos. Taggart,
Chairman of the Democratic State
Central Committee, of Indiana, asking
where he could reach Senator James
X Jones. He stated that the Demo-
Gratis of Indiana were very desirous
of having the Senator deliver some
speeches in that State before the
election. Senator Jones is recognized
everywhere as an abb and sound
Democrat and if he feels that he can
spare the time from his own State,
he will make some telling blows for
Democracy in the Hoosier State
Little Rock Gazette.
A more effective, convincing cam
paigner, will not be found anywhere
than Senator Jones. He strikes from
the shoulder with telling effect on his
hearers.

An Old Murder Recalled.

The Governor Thursday issued a
proclamation offering a reward of 5000
each for the arrest and delivery to
the Sheriff of Crawford county, of
John Richmond, Jr., Jack Richmond,
Lafayette Shultz and Bud Morris,
who are charged with the murder of
three men in the Northern part of
that county il 1873. Soon after the
commission of the crime similar
reward was offered and the Governor
has been advised that a renewal of
of the offer may facilitate the capture
and conviction of the murderers, even
at this late day.
The murder was one of the most
brutal in criminal annals. The mur-
dered men were horse drovers and
they were killed for the purpose of
robbery. The murderers captured a
number of horses from their victims
and escaped. Five years af erwards
Bud Morris was captured and indicted
for murder in the first degree He
was bailed out in the sum of $50
and becoming gapprehensiv of certain
conviction, fed and his bond was
forfeited. Morris had lived in Tennes-
see and it was there he had been
corralled over five years after the
murder. His capture was effected by
means of letter which his uncle,
Jno. w. Morris, in Tennessee, wrote
to Van Buren,, detailing Bud Norris
comp icity in the crime. After jump
ing his bond, Morris won't TO TenRee-
see and foully murdered his uncle
who had given him away. He was
never arrested for that deed and is
still at large, likewise his three COM
patriots in the crime.-L. n. Gazette.
The cases above referred 10, will be
We'll remembered by many of our citi-
zens. The ease against Norris, the
only one of the parties arrested, was
on trial and gone to the jury without
hardly u doubt of conviction. The
jury had been out sometime and night
came ON and during the night Morris
skipped out and his bond of IS % was
forfeited. The jury returned, finally,
u verdict OF guilty of murdet and
Judge II ,gers ordered the verdict
entered up and it now stands agalnst

to be bitten by rabbid dog:

for all; it is the last service | can
do for mankind:"
"Take warm vinegar and wash
the lacerated part, dry it, then
drop muriatic acid in the wound:
it will destroy the poison and
make it harmless. This is less
painful than burning or cutting a
piece out. Vinegar enough can
be heated in tin cup over lamp

should say that instead of being twenty
per cent. they are at the very least forty.
five Per cent. if not in the actual major
ityr In this immediate district there is
system for collecting bets that beats
creation. A boolSmaker, who, by the
way, is also a license holder, employs
five or six men, who, I suppose, go
under the name of clerks, each of
whom has q round or district, and
every day-that is, every racing day
these men call on their respective
clients-women, of course. whose huS-
bands are at work earning money to be
thrown away. know more than one
case where everything that can be
raked together to pawn for theppur-
pose is done, and the winnings, when
they have one, go to the booilmaker for
q royal booze.
What should Ike to point out Is
the mischief a man who holds a license
and is q booEmaker can do In a neigh
bOrhood. He not only incites to gam
bling, but also to drink. 1 myself have
seen scores of women enter the house
with papers, and, Of course, they must
have drink before they leave. Per
haps the public viii ask how it is done.
The house in question is so surrounded
by touts that on the approach of po-
bcenan the signal is given and the
thing stopped till the coast is clear.
This is no preiudiced view Of the mat
ter, but real fact, which can be veri-
fed daily on walk through this dis
trict by anyone with his eyes open. 1t
is surely time the law stepped in and
said to the publican boobmal1er: You
shall have no license
