A DREAMLESS SLEEP.
A Woman Ends Her Own Life and That ol Her Child by the Careiess Use Of
 Chloroform

The careless use of chlorOform has sent two more human beings out of the world
 On East Second avenue there lives the family of Mr. J. T. Brian. With them lived Mrs. C. A Reed and her son, who was about years old Mrs. Reed was daughter of Mr. Ed Simmons, of this place. Her first husband was Henry Brewer. About six months ago she married a man Y the name Of c. A. Reed, who left for parts unknown shortly after his marriage, Since then his wife and her son, little King Brewer, have been living with Mir. and Mrs. Brian.
 Last night Mrs. Reed was quite sick and complained that her head pained her greatly. This morning about o'clock she sent out for a bottle of chlorofOrm and told her sister that she was going to sleepy and asked that she be awakened in half an hour She then laid down upon the bed beside her little son, and when Mrs. Brian agaih entered the room half an hour later, both were dead.
 Mrs Reed had evidently used the drug to ease her pains, became un- conscious and let the bottle of chloro- form, which was uncorked, fall upon the bed, as it had spilled all over the face of the little boy and his mother
 Theirs was a sad, but we presume, painless death.
 From the facts obtained by a GRAPHIC reporter, he believes that both deaths were accidental, and that the mother had 10 idea of talk illg her own life, nor that of her child.

DIED.

l. RUTHERF0RD-ln Pine Bluff, May 15, 1895, at 1.30 D. m., ARTHUR LYLE, son of Mir. and Mrs. ]. r. F.Rutherford, aged about 15 months.
 The above beautiful little boy was taken away after a brief illness, and no words can picture the sorrow of the fond parents or bring consola- ton to their broken hearts, for when our children, which are so dear to us, are taken away we feel that we have lost them forever; but are they taken from memory Are they taken from love? Do we not sometimes dwell with them more intimately than we did while they were on earth? The care of them is no longer ours, that love-burden we bear no longer, since they are with the angels of God, and with God.
 We shed tears over what seems to be our loss, but do they not yet hover near us? God gave and he Has taken back His own. May these thoughts comfort and cheer the be- reayed hearts of the parents of little Arthur Lyle:
 Escaped all it's thorns and harm;
 Tho only path he trod
 Was that which lead from the mothers
 Into the arms of God"

The Ticket,

The Democratic State ticket nomip-
ated at Shreveport last week will be
found at the head of our columns, We
Will OF course support it and urge the
people to do likewise; not because it is
composed OF men of our choice-for it is
nOt-nor because we expect any personal
tavors from its election-for we do not
but because it represents the Demo-
cratic party and the white people of the
State, the party and the people in whose
hands alone the welfare of the country
may be safely entrusted. While we
would have preferred other men for
most OF the places on this ticket, we are
free to say that we believe it's election
will promote the best interests of all the
people OF the commonwealth and ad-
vance the State on the high road to
prosperity and progress, while its defeat
wouid be a calamity whose disastrous
results cannot be overestimated. Hence
we appeal to all to lay aside their per
sonai feelings and grievances in the
matter and to labor for the welfare of
the State, which can be best subserve.a
by the election of the white peoples
ticket, the ticket of the Democratic
party.

THE PROMISED LAND.
Why the Tourist, Traveller and Student
Should Visit Utah.

There are two reasons, either one of which
ought to be conclusive with every American
citizen.
First The trip from Denver to Utah via
Rio Grande Western, "Great Salt Lake Route"
is the grandest to be found anywhere on the
continent No European trip Of equal length
can compare with it in variety and grandeur
of scenery and wealth of novel interest.
Second You should go because, when you
have made this wonderful trip, you will find
Utah at the end of it-Utah, ono of the worlds
iron and coal; of lofty mountains and fertile
valleys; OF vineyards, fruits and flowers.
Salt Lake City, the capital is Of great interest
ciations Here are Hot Thermal Springs,
Warm Springs, Sulphur Springs, sanitarum,
Parks, Drives, Canyons al the most health
full climate on earth. Great Salt Lake with the
new and beautiful Saltar Beach Resort of
Moorish design, has no equal in America.

To Cure Pear Blight.

The Eutaw (Ala.) Mirror says: Mr..
Edwin Wilson told US the other day
that he had doctored fine pear tree,
which the blight had severely attacked
and made success of il. He first cut
away the diseased parts, then bored a
dozen holes or SO with a small bit
through the bark and in the sap wood.
He then put dose of calomel-say to
10 grains, in each hole. Plugged the
holes up with snug fitting cedar peg,
cut it off even with the bark. The tee
soon covered this over by it's natural
process, and the tree is now heavily
loaded with fruit, and is very thrifty
and prosperous looking.

The Platform.

The Democratic platform adopted at
Shreveport is good one, and one upon
which all true Democrats can boldly
stand: We are particularly pleased with
the plank in reference to suffrage re-
form and honest elections; and now
that the party has again spoken, all who
claim to be Dem ocrats should rally to
the support of these essentially Demo-
cratic and thoroughly wholesome meas
nres. We should have moved in this
direction long ago. Let us seize this
golden opportunity, which may never
be offered again, and with firm and
stalwart tread let us march straight to
the goal. There should be no laggar1s
in such a noble cause.
