It often happens thatour intense feeling agalrst an evh or al abuse leads us to employ remedies tha. are more dangerous and hurtfui than the evil, says tie Arkansas Democrat. "So iu the case of the legislation employed to extirpate trusts n the State. The feeling, and most righteous one 1t $, against trusts in general has led us 10 enact Q law fas more evIl in it's conse- quences, if it shall be Ecarried out, than tue combinations tkat we de. sire to restrain. If the antitrust law is carried out according to tue construction of the attorney-gener- al. it would be impossible for three wash-women to unite and fix the price for laundrying shirts. Every labor organization in the State that fixes the price of wages, every phys iciaus' association that agrees on a scale of fees, the railroaGs doing business in our State but working under agreements made in other States, tie wholesale grocers and the agents of manufacturers these and hundreds of other classes who do business m Arkau- sas, would be compe led to go out of business. Insurance companies, governed by rate agreements made in other States and in strict accord with the laws of these States, would have to break their agreements or bring their agents into contempt for violation of the law. This is but
 the beginning of what will happen
 if this law is carried out. We may
 kill the trusts, but before that hap

THE DREADFUL MALADY CLAIMS THREE VlC-
 TINS SUNDAY.
TWO HOMES DESOLATE.
Little John Scott III Only a Few Days When the Grim Reaper
 Reached Him.

That fearful malady, menengitis, clalmed three victims in this vicini- ty Sunday. Two former happy homes now pr e8ent a sad and desc late appearance. One bright prom isiug youth lies cold in sleep, while his heartbroken parents mourn his departure. Two husbands and families are left to mourn their departed wives and mothers.
 Mrs. Susie Brdsong. age 8 years, died at ner home near Hardings mill few miles south of this city Sunday. She had been ill about ten days with the disease, and while her devoted daughter remained at her bedside, they little thought they would both pass into eternity on the same day. A few hours before Mrs. B5rdsong' s death, her daughter, Ms. Ada Green, age IS years, was taken ill with the disease, and before the day had passed she had followed her mother to meet their Maker.
 Their funerals were conducted from the family residence this morn- ing. To the grief stricken relatives we extend our heartfelt sympathy and condoIence.

Sundays edition of the Daily Graphic was a superb number. With the exception of a few typographi- cal errors, it was almost perfect. 1t contained over 45, 900 ems of home set matter. It had the latest and best news fresh from the press. Its illustrations were attractive and strictly up to date. It reported the proposed new saw mill and railway exclusively. With our shop notes, society column and other local news, the Sunday edition covered it's field completely Charlz Nox's letter was full of valuable suggestions, and there was much other miscellaneous reading matter of most interest," ing character especially to women. On the whole the Sunday Graphic was superior newspaper and alto. gether creditable to this city. If you don't get the Sunday edition of
 the Daily Graphic you don't get the
 best newspaper published in Pine Bluff during the week.

Section 674.

The following is a copy of the drag net; the famous Section under which Fred. Page-Tustin administers justice. Sec. 674:- "If any person shall willfully or wrongfully commit any act which grossly injures the person or property of another, or which grossly disturbs the public peace or health, or which openly outrages the public decency, and is injurious to public morals, such person, if no punishment is expressly prescribed therefor by this code, upon conviction thereof, shall be punished by imprisonment in the county jail not less than one month, nor more than six months, or by fine not less than fifty nor more than two hundred dollars"
 The Court Commissioner has absolut- ely no jurisdiction over the above sec tion, and yet he assumes to have juris- diction; and in trying persons under this Section violates the law in every instance.

At in No Good.

It seems that everything at Atlin is not what it is purported to be, and bus mess is at standstill. The miners are growing dsgusted at the manner in which the Canadian government runs things, and on account of the uncer- tainty of the laws Americans are afraid to put in any money, and there is no telling what will be done. A letter from Mir. Butler this morning says that on the day the letter wat written, May 4th. the thermometer stood at 10 above while along some of the creeks the ground was frozen to depth of feet deep and no work could be done. He says that only one man out of a hum dred will get his money back. The trails are in very bad condition and the mail which came out that day was sup posed to be the last until the steamers run next month. A gentleman coming out resently said that all the way out he saw much sickness. The men are compelled to eat snow to quench their thirst, and this soon leads to cold and pneumonia. The best thing for people to do, it would seem, is to stay away.

Relief for Gold. Seekers.
Government Will ReIeive the FOur.hundred Destitute
 Men on The Trail.

Late arrivals from the upper Stikeen tell of the shortage of food among the miners who wintered at the headwaters of that river. The government has taken action to send a relief party to these unfortunates. A dispatch from Ottawa says: The attention of the De- partment of the Interior has been cal led to the statement made by the Hud- son Bay Company's inspector at Gas siar. British Columbia, and the Pro- vintial governments agent at GlenOra, to the effect that about 400 persons, many of whom are Americans, were in a state of destitution and sickness on the Lizard and Dease rivers and Doa',. lake. caused in a great measure by ex- posture and starvation,A ard in general were suffering greatly. The people were overtaken by the winter in en- deavouring to reach the Yukon, and their supplies became exhausted. It is believed they were beaten by the obstacles to travel in the uninhabited country through which they had to pass, having gone by Edmonton, N. w. T.. and were unable to proceed"
 As the report seemed to be authentic having first promulgated by Premier Semlin, of British Columbia. the De- partmentof the interior has immediate taken steps to make an arrangement with the Hudson Bay Company by which supplies should be sent by steam CT up the Stikeen river to Telegraph creek, and thence by pack train. These supplies are going forward as fast as possible to relieve the distress.

GUILTY OF
 MANSLAuCHTER The Jury in the Case of Harry Kirshbaum on Trial for
 Murder returns
 A Verdict Of Guilty.

The offence for which Harry kirsh- baum has been found guilty of man. slaughter, was the killing of an indian named Frank, from Klawock on the night of December 2lst The fatal af- fray occurred at the Standard saloon in this city, .of which resort kirshbaum was proprietor. From the evidence in- troduced at the trial it appears that during the day proceeding the shoot ing, the indian Frank had obtained whiskey from Kirshbau m. The supply thus obtained giving out, the indian again visited the saloon about mid night of the 2lst., in an intoxicated con- ditiOn and demanded more whiskey which Kirshbaum refused to give him. This angered the indian and he began an assault upon Kirsht aum: After a desperate struggle whth lasted some minutes, Kirshbaum, Tho was armed with revolver, fired two shots. The first entered the abdomen, passing through the body; the second struck the lower jaw, and passed downward into the chest, breaking the collar bone. The following is the Ante-Mor- tenn statement of the indian taken three days prior to his death:
 Wrangel, Dec. 2l, 1898. w. H. Lewis was sworn as interpre- ter, and inquired of Frank whether he thought he would recover. Frank ans wered that during the last half hour he thought he was dying.
 "Ever since he came here, he don't belong here, he belongs to Klawack. Whenever he has any money he goes to this place where he was shot to get his liquor. Even the man would offer him some when he had no money. He gets all he wants from the back door, from the same man. So when he came back from hunting he had few dollars and he bought some liquor from the same man, and got to drinking, and so when ne got drunk the man refused to give him any more. He remembers that at the time he was asking for whiskey. but don't know whether he said anything bad to the man until he was shot. He was drunk and did not know how he was carrying on. T don't know the mans name. That is the man, pointing to Harry Kirshman, that is the man who did the shooting. This took place during the night, last night. Don't know exact time. Think it was after 12 o'clock. Don't know what he did before shooting. The man ordered him out and he would mot go out, so perhaps that is the cause. There was another man standing at the door, may be he saw the shooting too. His name is not known. He lives next door to this house. The shooting was done in Wrangel. This statement was made by me without being influenced, and in fear of death.
 FRANK. X, his mark.
 The prosecution was conducted by Gen. Friedrich, the District Attorney, and the defendent was represented by A. G. Mcbride, of Douglas Island. A motion for :new trial was made and set for hearing on Wednesday the 7th. inst It is the general opinion of the people of Wrangel that the verdict is just one and will be sustained. The penalty for manslaughter, under the Revised strtutes, is not less than one year, nor more than ten years

Conference.
THE HAGUE. May 2S.-The newly
appointed subcommittee OF the third
committee Of the peace conference, the
arbitration committee, will meet to-
morrow. 1t will be known as the draft

the scope OF Its functions.
The delegates have worked unceas-
ingly to-day. although the formal Ia
bors OF the conference were suspended.
An effort is being made. and with q
certain degree OF progress, to combine
the Russian proposals In such way
that the report Of the drafting commit

Staal and Sir Julian Paunccfote, chiefs

long conference to-day with this end in

agreement in principle will be reached.
The hope OF the delegates that a
permanent arbitration board will be es-

difficult points now relate to the COM

The Contcsting Delegations
From Cuyahoga County.

CINCINNATI, o.. May 2s.-Thc un-
usual interest In the Republican state
convention ut Columbus this week Is
due to Its indirect effect on President
Mckinley next year, us well us to Its
direct effects on state factions and con-
tending candidates this year.
In the earlier sklrmishing there was
talk Of the possibility Of state ad-
ministration that would use Its power
to secure an anu-McKlnley delegation
from Ohio to the Republican national
convention next year. Since all but
four OF the eighty-eight counties have
selected delegates 1t Is found that about
the only thing the delegates are unani'
NOUS upon Is the endorsement Of the
national administration. All the can
didates for other places on the state
ticket, as well as those for governor
have had strong resolutions adopted In
their counties for their delegates to
endorse the national administration
Even the Kurtz-Bushnell-McK ell
ement announce that they are no,
against Mckinley, but that they are
against Hanna and any candidate IA
vored by Hanna.
It Is still claimed by some that the
result OF the convention this week may
determine what kind OF q Mckinley del
egntlon will be sent from Ohio to the
Republican national convention next
year It Is conceded that much depend,
upon the committee on credentials mex,
Thursday. 30 far as both this year and
next year are concerned.
Cuyahoga county, the home Of Sena-
tor Hanna has fifty-aght delegates
and leads the list of contests with three
different delegations. Hamilton county
the home OF Senator Foraker. has the
largest delegation. n!nety-six votes. and
It also has d dissenting delegation. It's
well as the one headed by George b.
Cox. While u big mass convention will
be hold here Tomorrow night to protest
delegation was selected, and to select
cighty-siX contestants. yet no members
OF the county committee will partici-
pate In It, and It Is thought that the
Hamilton county contest. as we'll as
soma others, will be disposed OF on
prIma fucle evidence OF regularity.
Such Will not be the case with the
contestants from Adams. Allen. Cuya-
hoga. Highland und Preble counties. In
volving almost one hundred votes out

made startling and successful jump
from the Brooklyn bridge Just before
dusk his evening. and came ont of the
river unlnjureG.
Just before 6 o'clock Kretz boarded n
trolley car bound for Brooklyn. It was
an open one. and offered nll the advan-
tages which he was looking for. When
the trolley reached q point about one
hundred yards from the first arch, near
the highest point Of the span, krctz
leapcd frcm the car. and Ike flash
raul,ed over the high railing. He took
no time to steady himself for a pcrpen-
diculnr drop. and swung some distance
out from the structure before he us
sumed an upright position.
The passengers Jumped from the car
and peered through the railing. while
tried to get glrapse of the flying fig

air like perpendicular streak. He
struck the water feet first, cleavlng 1t
Ike an arrow.He disappeared for some
time and then shot up into View again,
only to disappear for the second time
The water had hardly closed over him
when he reappeared. and Immediately
struck out strongly for the New York
shore.
One OF the deck hands on the freight
steamer Vulcan, which was coming
down the East river at the time. saw
kretz flash through the air and dlsap-
pear in the water. The deck hands
gave the alarm. and the Vulcan was
headed for the young man. who was
by this time swimming. A line was
thrown to him. and he was hauled
aboard the freighter, which Immediate
ly put In for her dock In the East river,
OIL the New York side.
When taken on the Vulcan lrctZ
placed his hands on his abdomen, as
II In pain, but when the boat reached
her dock Nretz sprang from the boat
onto the wharf, where he was at once
taken into custody and hurried to the
Hudson street hospital. Not the slight
est Injury was found on his person, but
he was suffering from shock. He was
detained on the charge of attempting
suicide. ..
Krctz is about five feet eight inches
