ARTHUR MITCHELL SUICIDES.


shoote Himself Through tho Left Temple
With = Shot Gun.
LOPEZ, Wash, Jan. 1O.-[Special]-
thur Mitchell, 81 years old, cook by &C.
cupation, and who has a ranch between
Lopez and Port Stanley, where he has
been living for the past seven years, COM
mitted suicide last Saturday morning, be-
tween IL and o'clock, by placing the
muzzle of q double-barreled shot gun to
his left temple and then pulling the trig
ger.
No doubt, those who travelled on the
steamer Lydia Thompson, q year ago,
were acquainted with Mr.. Mitchell, as he
was cook at that time on the above-named
steamer. He was married about eight
years ago, at the home of his wife's par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. Brown, who own q
fine ranch, adjoining the one on which
the tragedy took place.
Mr.. Mitchell had just been home a
week, having been undergoing course
of treatment in one of the Seattle hOspit-
ais. Before going 10 Seattle he told friends
for home for his family: that he had a
position in one of the Skaguay hotels as
cook, and that he intended to leave his
family in Seattle. After remaining in the
city a week, he returned home and was at
once confined to his bed. From the time
he returned until the time he committed
the rash deed he had been complaining of
feeling very badly, and, like true and
loving wife, Mrs. Mitchell sat up nights
attending to his wants. Friday night
seemed a long night to Mrs. Mitchell,
having been in constant attendance until
about midnight; when, as she supposed,
he had fallen asleep, Mrs. Mitchell re-
tired to her bed room, which adjoins the
sitting room, where she slept. She had
been asleep but few moments when she
was awakened by what proved later to be
no particular attention to this until she
leard three heavy and distinct grOans.
Jumping from her bed and rushing out
into the sitting room, where she had but
a few moments previous left her husband
asleep, she was Mortified in finding most
CHASTITY sight. With the barrels of the
shot gun still resting on his left shoulder
and his left hand on the gun, there lay her
husband with the top of his head blown
completely off. The walls and ceiling
were covered with brains and blood,
which presented most horrible sight,
long to- be remembered by those VINO
were first upon the scene.
In Mrs. Mitchells bed room, behind the bed,
was found piece of skull the size of two silver
dollars. From this, together with other frag-
ments found about the room, it is believed the
charge was very heavy or else both barrels were
used to commit the rash deed. The gun, which
was a Io-gague was kept in the kitchen ON a
ell had to pass the whole length OF the sitting
room and across the kitchen. After doing this
he took of his trousers and, rolling them up
placed them on the floor 50 as to hold the StaIk
of the gun In place.
The funeral services were held Sunday. Rev.
Walkinton officiating. The deceased leaves
widow aud five children, the youngest being II
months aud the oldest years old, to mourn his
loss l. x. L.

A CORRECTION.
Chairman Triplett Nails a False hood in Regard to Voting in the
 Primaries.
To the Editor of the GRAPHIC.

To the Editor of the GRAPHIC,
 1 wish to correct an impr sssion which seems to have been created hy pern1eious persons in the minds of many voters in Jefferson county re- garding the casting of ballots at election. 1t has been stated that the ticket printed by the election con- missioners tor, in case of primaries. by the county central committed would have to be voted as printed. This is entirely untrue and so unrea- sonable that it Is almost ridiculous. The commissioners, or the central committee, are governed by section 2625 in Sandell $ Hills Digest of the Statutes of Arkansas. That section authorizes them to print tickets of all the candidates regularly nomi- mated for county offices. In prima- ries, the nomination is regular when the candidate has paid the sum as- sessed against him by the central committee. The names of these can didates are placed on the tickets and under the list of candidates for each office is left blank line, so that the voter can, if desired, mark out each of the names on the ticket and write in the name of the person for whom he wishes to vote. And the vote would be as legal as if the name was printed on the ticket. Where there is more than one to be elected, as in the case of magistrate, the voter can scratch out as many names as he wishes all on the ticket and write in the names of the persons for whom he wishes to vote. The printed tick ct Is used for the benefit of the voter, so that he will not have to write the names of the persons for whom he wishes to vote, and 8 voter may scratch all the names on the ticket and write others.
 The central committee does not wish in any way to interfere with the casting Of ballots at the election and has never taken the position that only votes for candidates on the ticket would be legal.

Of Old Maids Held at the Opera House Last Night-The
 Proceedings.

A large audience was at the opera house last night to witness the Old Maids Convention. which was given by the Young Ladies Guild of Trini- ty church. The performance was under the direction of Miss Marie Rumbough, of Little Rock.
 The performance was very anus Ing. The contrast between young and pretty faces and antiquated cos tunes only made the play more at tractive. The proceedings of the convention were highly entertaining and the audience seemed pleased with the performance. The bach elors present were. persecuted with ''Iocal bits'' but took the fun good naturedly, those on the front row feeling well repaid for their trouble,
 A good sum was realized by the enterprising young ladies.

When wear begins to exceed repair in your body you are going to fall sick. The signs of it are: loss of flesh, paleness, weakness, nervous ness, etc. The repair needed is food.
