Religious Fanatics.

There is much excitement at Kettle ton, in Craighead county, over the strange action of a religious sect styl- ing themselves the "Order of Holiness" Some weeks ago a number of disciples of the order, headed by Revs Galley and Ball, began series of what they called "sanctitied meetings" near that town, at which number of converts were made, among them being a man named Hall. In cases of sickness these peo- pie will not submit to medical treat ment, but perform strange ceremonies at the bedside of the sick, and annoint the patient with a mysterious fluid which they call sacred oil" Two of Halls grandchildren, who had fallen ill, were treated in the manner pre- scribed by the sect, and died. Despite the protests of neighbors, Hall would not allow a physician to attend the chil- dren. Much indignation is felt over the matter, many prominent citizens de- manding judicial inquiry into the sanity of the members of the order.

Deaf-Mute Institute.

The twenty-ninth session of the Ar kansas Deaf-Mute institute will open October 6. The state has made ample provision for the education of its chill dren thus afflicted, board, books, tui- tion and medical attention being free to every deaf-mute child within her borders Clothing and travelling ex- penses are also furnished by the state free to those children whose parents are indigent and unable to provide them, when so certified by the county judge of the county in which they re- side. Prof. Frank B. Yates, superin- tendent of the school, desires that every deaf-mute child in the state take advantage of the opportunity to fit itself for the battle of life, and requests that parents and guardians of such write to him for application blanks, in order that they uay be at once enrolled.

After listing the funds, the same were verified by examining the debits made against the treasurer on the books of the auditor of state. By checking over all debit and credit items and compar- Ing same with the books of the treas urer for the period commencing July 1, lss6, and ending at the close of busi- ness August 31, 1897, it was found the books showed that the treasurer should have on hand on the latter date s1, ,24S,- sS272, being an excess over his liability oi s4S. so, which accumulated on account of the lmpossibility in making the ex- act change in receipts and disburse- ments
 In concluding his report, Mr Whiting says: With the exception of very lew immaterial errors, which do not in any manner affect the liability of the treasurer, the books have been well and neatly kept, and 1 find that the auditor mas allowed the treasurer all credits 10 which he IS entitled under the system ln vogue"

ARKANSAS STATE NEWS.
Harry L. Farrior Dead.

Harry l.. Farrior, after lingering for several weeks in hospital at Fort Smith with a fractured neck, is dead. While bathing in the Arkansas river. Farrior, in diving in shallow water, struck his head against an obstruction, and upon examination it was found that his neck was broken and that he was paralyzed from there down. He was taken to St. Johns hospital, where an X-ray photograph was taken of his neck, with view of locating the frac- ture, and, if possible, render him relief by performing an operation. Accord ing to the exposures made in the X-ray photographs, the fourth cervical yer tebre was indented, or, in other words, the fifth vertebre projected so that the spinous processes of the fourth and fifth vertebre were forced together, showing that the spinal cord was pinched by the fracture and dislocated. Had the phy- sicians been able to sustain healthful condition of the body until nature could have repaired the fracture, Farrior would probably have recovered.

Miller County Cotton erowers.

The cotton growers of Miller county have organized and adopted a nev plan of disposing of their cotton. They have decided to select q responsible cotton classer and have their cotton ready or inspection, two days in each week be- ing set aside as sale days. when foreign buyers will be apprised of the number of bales to be sold and the grades thereof. In selling in lots instead of single bales it is thought foreign mar kets will enter into competition with local buyers, and better prices will be realized

Not So Lad After All.

Torn Tomkins, who had a fragment of a newspaper in his hand, rolled over until he faced Woebegone Williams, nearly set ting the haystack on fire in the operation, and remarked:
 "Sayl"
 "Wot" returned Woebegone Williams.
 "l guess mebbe water aint so bad after all, if feller tackles it right"
 Such as howl" demanded Woebegone, somewhat startled by the suggestion.
 Wy, here a item that says Count Maltke has sailed. for Havre in the saloon of the Bretagne."
 Say! I thought there was somethin' funny in. the way them swell guys keeps erossin' the ocean. Now understand it." And after full and free discussion both decided that they would risk the water themselves under such conditions. Chicago Post
