A Husbands Liability.

An opinion has just been handed
down by the state supreme court which
settles the question of the liability of
the husband for the debts contracted
by his wife previous to marriage. The
court holds that the common law liza
bility of the husband to pay the debts
contracted by his wife still exists in
this state, and has not been changed by
the enactment of the so-called married
woman's acts. The facts in the case at
issue were that one Mrs. Kies kept a
boarding house before marrying Mr..
Kies, and became indebted to f. j.
Young for groceries. After her mar
riage to Kies, Young sued Kies and his
wife and recovered judgment against
them. The circuit court of Pulaski
county held that Kies was properly
Joined as defendant in Youngs action
and that he was responsible for his
wife's ante-nuptial debts. The supreme
court affirmed the Judgment of the
lower court.

A Medium Exposed.

A party giving the name of George D..
Search, and claiming to be a medium.
came to grief recently at Jonesboro.
Prof Search was conducting a series
OF meetings at private residence, and
while some believed he possessed the
power TO induce the spirits of the dead
to converse with those vet of the flesh,
there were others who were unwilling
to accept his woro for it, so the story
runs. Accordingly, two young men
determined to put the Professor" to a
test, and during one of his seances,
when the 'spirits" appeared and COM
menced their usual program of playing
musical instruments, etc, a light was
suddenly turned on, and the professor
stood before the audience, robed in
flowing gown of black and holding in
his hands a guitar, which instrument
had been furnishing the spirit" music
Search was taken before a justice of
the peace, where he plead guilty to be-
ing fake and was fined 81 and costs,
in all about &25, which he paid and
hastily made his departure for other
fields.

A knotty Question.

The Little Rock school board has just
disposed of case that caused the men,
bers thereof no little worry. The ques-
tion presented to them for solution was
whether child whose father is China
man and mother white woman should
be assigned to the white school or the
colored school. The matter was re-
ferred to the state superintendent of
public instruction, who gave it as his
opinion that the child. under the law
governing public schools, should be ad-
mitted to the white school, and that the
board would make an error in assign
ing it to the negro school, laying them
selves liable to suit at law should
they do so.
