KENTUCKY LEGISLATURE.
Sole business of the Present Called
session the Repeal of the Goe-
bel Election Law.

Frankfort, KY, Aug. 29.--The Ken.
tucky legislature convened in extra
session yesterday afternoon. There
were seven members of the house abb
sent, and two absent senator's. Both
houses adjourned after hearing read
Gov. Beckham's brief message, which
stated that the only purpose for
which the session was called was to
amend the state election law. The
message stated that the law was q
good one, but that party and fac
tional prejudice had been engendered
against IL to such an extent that il
was thought best to make changes
before another election was held. The
message concludes:
Imaginary ills, whether political or
physical, should be treated as well as
real ones. Your task in this matter
is difficult one. You can not satisfy
everybody. l do not desire to sug-
gest in detail any law for your con-
sideration. / have confidence in your
Judgment and wisdom, and l believe
that you will earnestly and patrioti-
caliy set to work to frame q law in
appearance as well as in fact SO fair
and so just to all parties that no hon.
est citizen can find fault with it,"
The republican minority will wait
for the democratic majority to take
the initiative. The democrats held 4
caucus last night to fill vacancies and
consider changes in the election law.
There are scores of election bills for
caucus consideration.
Both sides admit that the vote on
the repeal of the Goebel law will be
close. The democrats say the senate
will be tie--19 to 19--but that in the
house the democrats have a comforta-
BILE majority and can defeat an OUT
right repeal.
The republican leaders say they will
have majority of one in the senate
in favor of the repeal and have .
good chance of carrying the bill
through the house.

Justice Quickly Melted Out

|. 5. Hendrix, who stabbed Lewis
Ingram to death at Piggott, was tried
and convicted the day following the
tragedy. The grand jury was in ses-
sion and at once returned true bill,
and Hendrix pleaded guilty to murder
in the second degree and was sentenced
to ten years in the penitentiary. The
parties were neighbors, living in the
same building, aud the difficulty grew
out of Hendrix throwing some water
on Ingran's little daughter. An alter
cation occurred in the afternoon and
Hendrix" apologized for his act, and
both parties were apparently satisfied.
But later the quarrel was renewed,
With the foregoing result

A MISSOURI HURRICANE.
A severe storm sweeps Across Uettis
County, Mo.-Much Damage
Done mt Sedalia.

Sedalia, Mo-, Aug. 29.--A terrific
storm ragged across Pettis county
from the northwest to the southwest
Monday. In Sedalia part of tho
opera house was blown away. A
building occupied by George Keister
as saloon was unroofed and one
wall blown away. Two brick build-
ings on Main street were partially
blown down, and horse standing
in front of one of them was killed.
A farmer standing in the door Of
Leftwich's blacksmith shop was in
Jured by flying timbers. Two colored
men standing in the door of Estes
grocery store were injured by fall
ing porch.
At the cemetery, the funeral Of
George Bonker was in progress, and
there was almost q panic when the
storm struck and snapped the trees
around the open grave. There were
more than 100 trees blown down in
the cemetery, and the beautiful grove
at Liberty park looks like clearing
after the storm. The ampitheater
was blown 100 yards into the kite
shaped track, and the smaller build
ings were damaged.
At the Missouri, Kansas q Texas
hospital many trees were uprooted,
and broadway and Seventh streets
the parked streets of the city, are lit
tered with the limbs of trees. The
Jaynes home, at Broadway and Ohio,
stands nakedly in the center of
block. its handsome yard void of trees
and shrubs.
In the country, corn was beaten
into the mud, and outhouses by the
dozen were blown away. On the
Smithton road, a mile from Sedalia,
the bed and top of buggy were
found lodged in hedge.
The telegraph wires of the Postal
company, and the wires of the tele-
phone company between this city and
Smithton can not be used. The storm
was the worst in the recollection of
Sedalians. and the damage can not
yet be estimated.

GREATER MADDOX SEMINARY y
building Progressing Rapidly-Many Val.
usbie attendance
Will be Large Next Session

Contractor Collins is pushing the
work on the building of the Greater
Maddox Seminary toward completion
and things are taking on quite differ
ent appearance about the place. The
present buildings are being remodeled
and painted outside and inside from
bottom to top, and the new addition
will be elegant throughout. One
would hardly recognize the old build
ing on the inside. The halls are
painted in delicate colors and the
rooms are tastefully papered. The
dining hall and study hall will not be
surpassed for beauty in the city. The
floors in all the halls are being stained
and new carpets are put in all the
rooms. The residence on the campus
is undergoing the same kind of inn
provements as the main building.
The Peck Hammond Co., of Cincin.
natl, is putting a new heating plant
through the entire buildings. The
buildings will have all the most mod
ern conveniencies and will be elegantly
furnished. Maddox Seminary will be
the best school plant in Arkansas in q
few weeks.
President Maddox seems greatly en-.
couraged and says the outlook is splen.
did for the approaching session. The
new building will add about forty
more rooms, but he thinks every avail.
able room in all his buildings will be
occupied.
Students are enrolling from every
portion of the state and all the adjoin-
ing states will be represented Mr.
Maddox has an expensive and well
chosen faculty of twenty-one teachers
and is making every effort to make
the school first-class in all its depart
ments. Evidently Maddox Seminary
is growing rapidly into favor with the
people of Arkansas and will henceforth
rank among the first colleges of the
country. There is no longer any need
for the people of Arkansas to send
their daughters out of the state in
search of first-class advantages. Mad.
dox Seminary will meet the demand
and our people should investigate it's
merits.

BY PARTIES UNKNOWN.
The Convenient Verdict for Screen.
Ing Popular Murderers.

Ing Popular Murderers.
Gilman, H., Aug. 2s.--At the coron-
er's inquest yesterday in the case Of
John Myers the jury brought in ver-
diet of death by bullet wounds from
parties unknown" In the case of
Michael Ryan the verdict of the jury
was death by leaden bullets fired
from Mrs. Wright's house by parties
unknown"
The inquest over the body of Bessie
Salter was completed last evening.
The jury held Mrs. Wright to the
grand jury without bail. Mrs. Wright
was taken to Watseka yesterday noon,
as measure of safety from possible
mob violence. During the morning
when she seemed in great danger
from the crowd, the mayor ordered
the saloons closed.
The intense excitement that pre-
vailed all day has subsidized, and order
is restored. The removal of Mrs.
Wright to the Watseka Jail seems to
have stopped all mob talk, and the law
will possibly be allowed to take it's
course.
Late news of the condition of
George Willoughby and Peter Hauer.
the two wounded deputies, is very dis
couraging, and the coroner will possi-
bly, have two more inquests to look
after shortly.
1t was reported at first that three
or Mrs. Wright's girl patients" had
perished in the fire, but this is now
thought to be a mistake.

Lightning destroyed the postoffice
and the general store OF Mark Swope
at Beaver, six miles west of Eureka
Springs. The building was also used
as a telephone station, and the electric
oolt passed in over the wires. In ad-

hazard so great that no one would en-

THE LOWER ORDERS OF LIFE.

The whale is big fish in the sea
only on account of his colossal proper
tions. AS a navigator he is not much
of a success. His utmost speed in
swimming is only about ten miles an
hour.
Snakes of all sizes abound in the Su-
matra jungles. Monster lizards are
there, measuring six and seven feet.
The house lizard is about 12 inches
long, and makes a noise like the bark
of toy terrier.
A camel. with an ordinary load Of
400 pounds, can travel IL to IA days
without water, going IA miles a day.
Camels are fit to work at five years
old, but their strength begins to de-
cline at rs, although they live usually
until 40. They are often fattened at
80 for food, the flesh tasting like beef.
