Child Found in a Lake.

The mystery surrounding the disap-
pearance of Carl Hameister, 4-year-
old boy who strayed from the home of
his parents, four miles east of Van
Buren,, Nov. 4 last, was cleared up the
other day by the finding of his remains
in Frog Bayou, near ALMA. When the
child mas fosr@L was last sec on the
road between his home anu Ainia, and
then came rumors that child dnswer-
ing his description had been seeh at va
rious places, which led the parents
to believe that their child still lived
and had been carried away BIZ some
person. Rewards were offered and
every clue was followed without avail,
until it seemed to be another Charley
Ross case. Recently Mr.. Hameister's
dog has been seen frequently near where
the child was found, which is four OF
five miles from his home, and some
boys watched the dog go to the child.

ARKANSAS STATE NEWS.
st,AMP LANDS BILL.

Inc Arkausss Compromise Favorably Re-
ported By the Public Lands Committee.
The house committee on public lands
has finally agreed to report to the
house the Arkansas compromise bill.
This bill, which passed the senate some
time ago, met with decided opposition
In the house committee, and it was
only by continual effort and by having
Gov. Clarke 60 to Washington to make
concessions, that Representative Nc
Rae, the leading democrat on the COM
mittee, was able to engineer its safe
passage through the committee, and it
is questionable whether the state will
accept the conditions imposed by the
changes made in the bill.
A great manyscntimental attacks are
being made ON the bill by those who
point out that It results in complete
loss to the government Of the munifi-
cent gift of the Englishman, James
Smithson, at whose instance the Smith
sonian Institute was originated, and
whose money was intended to carry it
on. Members from Arkansas, how
ever, will effectually meet all Of this
opposition if the bill is ever given con-
sideration on the floor of the house.
There is some probability, however,
that the opposition to the matter,
which comes from Iowa and from the
Iron Mountain Railway Company, may
be strong enough to prevent any time
being allotted to it during the session.
The lands with which the state had
been credited with 50 per arce were re-
duced to 50. SO per acre.
The area of selected swamp lands due
the state was increased SO that the bal
ance due from the state in money re-
mains as ascertained by the secretary
of the treasury and the secretary of
the interior and the governor of Ark
ansas-- s16O,572.
The committee attached conditions
to the bill, to the effect that the state
must release and quit claim all rights
and interests in and to all lands hereto
lOfc COHuIIucu, CcI blncu Ut pdtcutcu W
the state which have been entered
under the public land laws and quit
claim and relinquish all right, title and
interest under the swamp land grants
to all lands which have been granted,
confirmed, certified or patented by the
United States under any other acts and
the title to the same is expressly con-
firmed to the grantees.
The lands which have been patented
to the state and afterwards disposed of
by the United States are confirmed to
the purchasers and settlers without pay
ment to the state.
The United States relinquish all right
title and interest to the unconfirmed
swamp land, which has been sold by
state, and the title is confirmed to the
grantees of the state without the pay
ment Of any money to the government
The state is given one year in which to
accept and approve the conditions of
of the bill.

Three Men Hung at Fort Smith.

The execution of John and George
Pierce and Weber Isaacs took place at
Ft. Smith recently. Only a few per-
sons were admitted, among the number
being some of the members of State
Medical Society. On the march to the
scaffold, when just outside the Jail a
halt was made. Standing near the door
was Mrs. Ragsdale, sister of the
Pierce brothers, and with her stood the
little 4-year-old son of John. The con-
demned man picked up the little fellow
and kissed him tenderly, the tears
streaming from his eyes. The sight
was affecting in the extreme. On the
sca1fold the men knclt and repeated
after the priest: 'Mcrciful Jesus have
mercy ON me and forgive me my sins. !"

MINNIE ROBINSON WINE

Biz JudBment secured Against the Union
Guaranty and Trust Company.
In the federal court 1T Little Rock
recently Miss Minnie Robinson was
given decree for IS, 9o2. 10 against tho
Union Guaranty and Trust Company.
The plaintiff had been named as the
beneficiary in policy for $1,000 on the
life of DIR. Overton Moore, of Helena.
AS originally made the two children Of
DIR. Moore were named as the benefici-
aries, but it was alleged that DIR. Moore
transferred to Miss Robinson the BEN
Gifts of the policy with the understands
ing that he would marry her after get
ting divorce from his wife. Mean
while DIR. Moore was killed in a per-
sonal difficulty with another Helena
physician.
The policy was in the United States
Mutual Accident Association and Miss
Robinson instituted proceedings to col
lect on it in the Pulaski circuit court.
There non-suit was taken and the
case went to the federal court at St.
Louis Judgment was rendered in
the woman's favor and affirmed later
by the court Of appeals. Then an eff
fort was made to realize on the judg-
ment, but without avail. The Union
Guaranty and Trust Company had gone
on the bond of the United States Mu-
