instance of this kind is related by a

friars' churchyard at Edinburgh.
The sexton was man of Aber-

showing the visitor the grave of
Duncan Ban Maointyre, Gaelic
poet, and in interpreting the Gaelic
inscription on it, as if it were the
chief glory of his charge. His heart
was in the highlands plainly. The
visitor had been at Greyfriars' be-
fore and said to the sexton, as the
old man pocketed his fee:
Il have seen your highlands since

A conditional pardon has
been granted to Jas. Stubbs,
who was convicted in Hot
Springs county in 1885 Of
murder in the second degree
and sentenced to the penlten-
tiary for twenty-one years.
At the time Stubs was a
boy fifteen years of age he
was charged with completely
in the killing OF Capt. Siddell
in Saline county in 1884.
While he was a convict he
escaped October 3, 1897, and
was recaptured December 81,
1898. By reason of time lost
in that way his term would
not expire until March 6,

CLOUDBURST IN TEXAS.

Austin. June 9.-The
cloudburst yesterday morn
ing, which has swelled the
rivers of this portion Of the
state out of their banks and
caused much loss of property,
is even worse than reported
last night.
Today news came in from
San Saba and Manardville,
ninety miles to the north of
here in the mountains, saying
that both towns had been
swept by the raging floods
and were badly wrecked.
in San Saba there were
eight people drowned and the
entire town is reported under
water this afternoon. The
river at that point is one mile
wide and running like a mill
race. At Manardville thir.
teen houses were swept away
early during last night, and
this morning several more
gave in to the restless torrent
and started on their voyage
down the river. The river
is reported as rising at both
places and grave fears are
entertained that the entire
country in that neighborhood
will be laid waste. San Saba
is located in a valley and for
some ten or fifteen miles be.
low and above it extend ex.
tensive wheat fields, All
these are under water and
will prove total losses. A
great many of the persons
there, according to reports
reaching here today, hat

to have constantly or hand a

Auditor of State Clay
Sloan has just returned from
a visit to the northern part of
the state and he can testify
to the fact that certainly one
corporation he knows of is
strictly law.abiding. 1t is
generally conceded that Mon
day and Tuesday were the
hottest days of the year so
far. Mr.. Sloan found that
North Arkansas was no ex-
ception. T he mercury
ranged up in the nineties
there. He was coming back
to Little Rock and reaching
the station where he was to
take the train, he began to
look around for a cool spot.
He drifted into the depot
waiting room and found the
place about the hottest he had
struck in many days. A
roaring fire was blazing IN
the stove and the temperature
ii the room was about 120
degrees. Mr.. Sloan did not
know but what he had struck
a branch of the state lunatic
asylum.
"What do you meal by
having a fire here a hot lay
like this?" he inquired of the
station agent.
'The law requires us to do
it. Look at the act of the
last legislature" replied the
agent, mopping his perspir.
ing face.
''Oh, you must be joking"
said the auditor.
"Not a bit of it. 1t is the
law and we propose to obey
the law"
M Mr.. Sloan was pretty
thirsty and he reached for
the water cooler. The wa
ter was warm.
"Why don't you keep ice
water here?" he inquired.
Its against the law.
\ Same act applies. 1t says
I'VE must keep nothing but
Wholesome water to drink.
Our company physician ad'
vises us that ice water is not
considered wholesome"
When Mr.. Sloan reached
Little Rock he made his ap.
pearance at the secretary of
states Office forthwith to
ascertain about that law.
He found that it really was in
existence.
The new law will probably
have to be construed by the
supreme court.
