RL WARD IS GOOD
Gov. Jones Gives Opinion on Reward
 for Bunn's Arrest.

The secretary of state received a letter thls morning from Thornton & Thornton, Camden attorneys, making inquiries about the reward offered in 1895 for the arrest of the negro Wiley Bum, for the murder of Allen Martin in Calhoun county: says Teusday's Arkansas Democrat.
 The records in the auditors office show that a warrant vas drawn November 22, 1895, for the arrest of Wiley Bum" Tn favor of R. H.. Cone then sheriff of Calhoun county. It will oe remembered that a posse pursued the murderer into the swamps of the Mississippi river bot
 oms, where they killed a negro supposed to be Wiley Bum. and re- ceived the reward therefor. Now comes the surrender of the real Wiley Bum, and claim for the re- ward.
 Gov. Jones declares that he will not be resronsible for the mistake of his predecessor in paying a re- ward upon inadequate proof, and upon the conviction O. Bum and application of she proper person cannot do otherwise than pay 1t again. He feels confident, however, that the state will have recourse on Mr. Cone for the recovery of money paid through mistake.

JAMES VS. JAMES
An Interesting Suit Filed in the
 Ghancery Court Today.


 There was filed in the Clerks offiee thls morning a complaint by Nellie James against Garland D. James to set aside the decree for divorce which it is alleged was rendered in the chancery court some two years ago without her knowledge and con sent. It Appears from the com plaint that no service of summons was ever served upon Nellie James in the divorce proceedings and she ayers that she authorized no one to enter her appearance in the case because she knew nothing of such a suit, and that she kept completely in the dark as to any legal proceed ings and did not know of the decree for many months afterwards.
 The Pine Bluff Compress Co.,, and several well known citizens who have purchased property from th defeudent, since the rendition of the decree for divorce, are made parties defendants, as she did not join in the con yeyances to them.
 The bill is strong one and sworn to by the plaintiff and we predict 1t will be fruitful of interes developments. Young & Whitelaw represent the plaintiff.

CHEAP ELECTRICITY.
City of Chicago Now Thinks of Using Her Drainage CanaI for
 Power Purposes.

Not content with getting rid of her sewage by means of the great drainage canal that Chicago has been construct, ing for several years, the city is now planning to utilize the current for pow CT purposes, and to develop electricity for lighting and other uses, as soon as the canal goes into service a year or sc hence. At the western extremity of the canal where the stream discharges into the Desplaines river, a dam is now being built. At this point head of 16 feet will be secured.
 Two routes have been under consid- eration. One, known as the western, would have involved a cost of $622 ,00o for right of way and construction. The other, called the central route. was shorter, less expensive, and likely to yield more power. This has been adopted, and it is estimated that the enterprise will cost only $265, ,000. It is hoped that about 15,000 or 16 1000 horse power will be realized. with the maxi mum flow, at present, and at some fu ture time as much as 26,000 will be available. Joliet, perhaps, will share with Chicago the use of the current to be developed.

 In the town of MaloIos every mem Der of the town council, all of them natives, were banished at the instiga- tion of the local priest. From the prov inces around Manila hundreds of sus- poets were brought in daily, and prac- ticaIly the only difference between the inquisition of the Philippines in the closing years of the nineteenth century and that which terrorized Europe ceIN turies before was the absence of the dreaded rack, but in it's place was the sword and rifle, used even more freely than the rack had ever been.
 It was during such scenes as these that the rebellion of 1S96-97 broke out in the Philippines, and which were one of the causes of Spain losing her great Pacific possessions.
