Given Five Years.


 The famous murder trial of J. B. Cummings, alias L. k. Morris, came to an end the other night in the Pulaski circuit court. The defendant was found guilty of murder in the second degree, and given five years in the peniten- tiary. On the first three ballots the jury stood 6 to for murder in the first degree, with the death penalty. The prisoner is a one-legged man about 70 years of age.
 THE CRIME.
 Shortly after midnight of February IS last, he fatally stabbed F. M. Potter, in Little Rock. Morris was immedi- ately arrested by the police, and in dicted for murder in the first degree by the grand jury March 13 last. His case was set twice, and as many times postponed.
 The murder of Potter was considerel ] a cold-blooded one, and was associated at the time with the killing of rafts- man, w. Spearman, of Perryville, who was struck by lightning while rafting logs down the Arkansas river. Potter, the murdered man. came to the rescue of the terrified son and crew of the de. ceased Spearman and assisted them in taking the raft and body to Little Rock. Potter registered at Tricks German hotel, at the foot of Rocl street, for the night.
 ABOUT THE WAR.
 He and Morris got into dispute about the war, Potter being an ex-fed eral soldier and Morris espousing the side of the south. According to the story of the barkeeper, Oscar Muller and the porter, Peter Lemmer, the only eye-witnesses, Morris gave Potter the lie, at which the latter pushed him down. Lemmer and Muller came tc the rescue and lifted Morris up, when the men became friends again. Sud denly, at about in the morning, and about twenty minutes after the diff. culty above referred to, while both were standing at the bar, Morris stabbed Potter in the neck with pocket-knife, severing the internal jugular vein, the latter bleeding to death in few min. utes, before medical assistance could arrive,

what Hath God Wrought!

The long life of S. F. B. Morse,
the inventor Of the magnetic tele-
graph, is one Of almost romantic
struggle and interest. Born in 1901,
he was graduated from Yale College
at eighteen, and having strong
artistic tastes, studied painting
under Allston, which he afterwards
followed with success. Returning
in 1882 from Europe, he became
much interested in a discussion on
electricity, and then and there
conceived the basis idea of telegra-
ply, the interval in an interrupted
current being made long or short
at will. But he did not take this
up until he failed to be awarded the
decorating Of the capitol building
at Washington. Abandoning pain
ting, he worked for twelve years in
poverty and amid many discourage
ments, until onFebruarry %, 1914,
congress made an appropriation for
an experimental line between Balti-
more and Washington. May Gath,
the same year, the line was compile
ted and the words that head this
paragraph yer sent by the inventor.
He rendered possible the present
railroad system of our country, for
it could be operated in safety only
by the aid of the telegraph. Tele-
graphic operation and synchronized
time are what make travel so safe
and speedy on the Burlington. For
tickets, rates, or any information
