 What another year may bring forth DO man knows, but already there are various candi- dates tor political preferment. Some have announced their in- tentions openly and others are watching the field closely Thus farnorthwest Arkansas shows a larger number of prospective candidates than any other sec tion. Incidentally this will re- call to mind the fact that the northwest holds in all twenty nine state and Federal positions, most of them places provided Cor under the laws of the state ln one county last year there were candidates for four state offices. There IS nothing to hin- der every man i'll q county run hing for office if they have the inclination, but sometimes we think 1t is overd one. ."-Arkan- sas Democrat.
 It will be remembered, at least bv few persons, that the editor of the Monticellonian suggest cd, in speech before the State Convention i'll 1898, that the northwest Was getting more than its share of the offices. We are very glad to see such able men as Prof Mitchell, of the Democrat, coming to the rescue of other portions of the great state of Arkansas. The north west Is considerable part of the state, but 1t is not all of 1t, ard we hope the next election will have a slight tendency to demonstrate this fact.

AN AW FUL TRAGEDY.

The wife of sheriff Lindsey, of Ashley county, committed sui eide recently by shooting herself with a pistol. Long and pain ful illness which had partially dethroned her reason was the cause The following account of the terrible tragedy, we take from the Ashley Co. Eagle.
 About 12 o'clock on Satur- day last our community was sadly shocked and grieved to learn that Mrs. Dr. w. H. Lind sey, the good wife of our Sheriff had suddenly ended her life by shooting herself through the
 heart with a 3S calibre pistol.
 The causes leading up to the shocking tragedy find their be- ginning in the mysterious work ings of the human mind. severe ly tortured by long months of bodily suffering, from which she had been compelled to seek re- lief by the use of morphine until life became an unbearable bur den, under which her mind gave
 way and drove her to self-de- struction by forces over which
 we believe she had no control.
 The deceased had been a sufferer
 from the most complicated and
 painful bodily ills for several years, during which time her good husband has done everv-
 thing in his power for her relief.
 He carried her to Magnesia Springs more than q year ago in the hope of finding relief, and
 afterwards took her on a long
 visit to Southern Texas, trust ing that she might be benefited
 by change of water and eli
 mate, but all proved unavailing,
 and she finally despaired of re covery Before firing the fatal shot she wrote a letter to her
 mother and also one to her hus
 band, expressing her gratitude
 for their kindness to her and de ploring the afflietions that made her bnrden to her family and friends. To her mother she wrote that her husband had been kind, attentive and true, that he never had spoken q cross word to her and had done every thing i'll his power to promote her welfare and happiness, and begged her to be kind to him for his taithtuluesS to her through all her sutferings. In the letter to her husband she expressed similar sentiments of gratitude, and begged them to forgive her ifthey could for the bereavement that her act was about to bring upon them. Deceased was one of the most intelligent and esti mable Christian ladies of our community, kind to her loved ones and beloved by her neigh bors. No one believes her re- sponsible for the rash act that ended her life, though she went about it with that strange de liberation that so often char acterlzes an unbalanced mind, wrought to desperation bv un- comfortable emotions beyond 1 the reach of human reasoning to fathom or understand. Her mother and sister. Mrs. Mary L. and Miss Kate Dix, of Oak 1 Ridge La, arrived on Sunday evening train in response to a telegram, and were present at the funeral which took place soon after their arrival. The be reaved husband and family and the grief stricken mother and sis ters have the united sympathy ot our community in the great sorrow that has fallen so sud denly upon them.

 We must rely on the co-opera- ton of our state press with this office to the extent of giving this warning notice due publicity, as the observance of a law before hand is better than prosecutions for it's violations afterwards. "
 CARL \. STARcK,
 Inspector of Wines for the State
 of Arkansas.
 We publish the above to put wine-growers on their guard but we are inclined to the opin. ion that the Inspector is off his base when he construes the late law to prohibit the use oi water in the wine.
 The late legislature being strictly temperate desired the water-drinking habit encourag- ed, and when 1t passed a law permitting the sale of wine 1t nc doubt expected a great deal ot water to be used The fact is too much water is seldom used

 Mir. Bryan has taken much interest in the Kentucky campaign, and his letter indicates that he is familiar with the local features.

 Mir. Bryan requests that a special train be provided and equipped so that he can live on bzoard during his tsay in the state.
 There are over 5000 miles of railroad in the state, and he can reach nearly forty county seats by rail. His com ing to Lexington will be made q great occasion, and 25,ooo persons are ex. pected 10 be present when he open, the battle. Alr. Bryan is q fighter. as all well know. and his trip through the state will be great boom to tn, Goebelites
