Escaped Convict Surrenders.

A man walked into the office of Sheriff Bickham, at Texarkana, a few days ago and said to the sheriff |: "I am an escaped convict from Ilh- nois and want to give up and go back home." Continuing, he said: My name is Harry Sinker and I was known in the pen as No, 558." Here he told the sheriff that he was sent up for grand larceny, escaped and travelled around with indiffer- ent success until he was tired out.

Col. Fletcher's Estimate,

Col. John G. Fletcher, of Little Rock, sums up the cotton crop of this state as follows:
 "A careful estimate of the condi- tion of the cotton crop in Arkansas is 60 per cent, and some places it is as low as 50 per cent. The best cotton land, it is estimated, sup ports a condition of about 75 per cent, and will probably make 66 2-3 as large a crop as that raised last year. The state, taken as a whole, however, will not exceed 60 per cent. About fve-eights of the crop is raised in the uplands. Last years crop is estimated at 100000 bales, and the shortness of the present crop will therefore be evident. With the most favorable conditions on the up- lands from now on, the crop cannot be more than one-third of last year.

Wreck on the Choctaw,

A freight train on the Choctaw was wrecked near Palestine, in St. Francis county, July 26 and the en- gineer and fireman were instantly killed and a brakeman seriously in- jured. Engineer Shelley's head was torn from his body and Fireman Simmons had both arms cut off and his body was terribly mangled. The wreck was caused by a misplaced switch. It is believed the switch was thrown by party of miscreants, intending to wreck and rob the pas senger train, due there forty minutes later, as the last train passing over the switch before the wreck was go- ing in the same direction as the ill., fated train.

The Arka- delphia case prompted the last legis- lature to pass law providing that rapists be hanged in public Ander- son was 21 years old last April. Never did condemned criminal meet his fate with more stoicism than did Anderson. At no time dur ing the preparations and religious service did he show the least weak ness, and his. last words were, ''I'm not guilty; Pm not lying,'' Ander- son was convicted of criminal as- sault on Mrs. Belle Edwards, white woman, who was cooking for her hus- band and a gang of workmen at tie camp near Marche, Pulaski county. On May 14, 1900, Edwards left his wife at camp alone. Anderson had been working about the camp sev- eral days, and knowing that Edwards was gone sneaked back to the camp and assaulted the defenseless wo- man, and then fled. He went to Newport and worked at mill for about two months, and then returned to Little Rock, where his parents live. A few hours after his return officers located him, and after an exciting chase he was captured. At the trial Mrs. Edwards identified him positively as her assailant. He was indicted, and on October 4, 1900, convicted and sentenced to hang on December ;, the jury having been out only twenty minutes. An appeal was taken to the supreme court, which on June s, 1901, affirmed the decision of the lower court, and on July 3 Acting Governor M. P. Hud- dleston fixed the date of execution. On July l4 he professed religion and was baptized into the Baptist church.

House Struck by Lightning.

Lightning struck the residence of J. s. Smith at Mena, tearing out the end of the building and striking senseless Mrs. Smith and her sister and burning them badly. The house caught on fire in two or three places and had it not been for the thought full action of the children, who were not so badly injured, in putting out the fire, the house would have been destroyed.

The chancellor held that the Parks law is a police regulation of the state over a subject which the state has the power to regulate and control; that it Is not in conflict with any provision of the state or federal constitution; that by the acts of 1991 and 1899 the general assem- ply empowered the police in towns to punish by their ordinances any act which is made a misdemeanor by the state statutes and to infict the same penalty as is inflicted by the state law for the same offense, at the same time making such convic- tlon by the city or town tribunal bar to prosecution by the state.

 Robert s. Fosburgh was acquitted at Pittsfeld, Mass, of the charge of. killing his sister by shooting her in the middle of the night. Much in- terest was taken in the trial by people all over the country on ac- count of the mysterious manner in which the young lady was killed and the prominence of the Fosburgh family. The defense claimed that the girl was shot by burglars.
 American missionaries are appeal ing to the state department to exact special conditions from China for the protection of themselves and their converts in the interior of the Celestial empire. From present indications these appeals will not meet with responses. The administration believes the mis- sionarics are well safeguarded by treaty. The treaty specifically de- clares that ''any person, whether citizen of the United States or Chinese convert who, according to these tenets, peaceably teach and practice the principles of Chris tianity, shall in no case be inter- ferred with or molested." Under that stipulation the United States has the right to interfere in behalf of native proselytes. This govern ment has been disinclined to enforce it, believing it unwise to intervene in Chinese affairs. If American mis- sionaries are molested in future, the usual representations, which were SC successful prior to the Boxer out break, will be made in their behalf.

 The state department has been no- tifed by Mr. Rockhill, special com- missioner in the Chinese affair, that a plan for the payment of the indem- nifty to the powers by the Chine government has finally been adopted. The authorization of the bonds to be issued will begin in 1902, and the plan contemplates the entire liquida tion of both principal and interest by 1940 It is said that China will raise 23,000,000 taels annually. This sum is to be used to pay the interest on he bonds and to create a sinking fund for the ultimate i- quidation of the principal.
 The annual report of the Missis- sippi river commission has been re- ceived by the chief of engineers. This commission has charge of the work of the improvement from Cairo to the passes. The sundry civil act of 1900 appropriates $2,25o,00o for the work which, with the exception of $25, ,0OC, has been allotted for the levees, dredging, repairs, surveys and materials, all of these included in the plan of improvement. The re- port says that the failure of the last congress to pass the river and harbor bill makes 1t incumbent to repeat the recommendation of the last re- port for continuing appropriations. It also states that having no appro- priation for the coming year neces- sitated a recast and careful hus- bandry of the balances from the several allotments and their applica- tion to objects which might suffer if neglected. The commission recom- mended that an appropriation of $3,000,000 be made annually for six years and that $695,00O be appro- priated for special work at different points. The report contains the fol- lowing recommendations for appro- priations in excess of $25, ,OOO for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1908: First and Second Districts-Ca- ruthersville, Mo-, $50,000; Plum Point Reach, $1O0,o0O; preservation of works at Hopefeld Bend, $30,0OO; Helena, Ark, $3o,000; upper St. Francis levee district. $50.O0O: lower

 An interesting report on slave conditions in certain parts of the Philippines, made by Major J. N. Morrison; of the judge advocate gen erals department, has just become public. Major Morrison says: "The slavery here has all of the essentials of the negro slavery formerly exist ing in the United States. For in- stance, person-man, woman or child-will be captured in war or kidnapped (privately and secretly or otherwise) in time of absolute peace, or one person will owe another debt that he fails to pay and the creditor will thereupon take the debtors child-son or daughter-or his sis ter or brother as a slave. These are the usual methods of converting free people into slaves, but not the only ones"

EMBALMING THE DEAD.
A New Process for Mummifying HUI.
man Bodies.

A New Process for Mummifying HUI
man Bodies.
From the London Express.
An interesting demonstration is now be-
ing given at the examination hall Of the
Royal College Of Surgeons Of a wonderful
machine invented by a Belgian doctor for
preserving the dead against the natural
law Of decay. His apparatus effects SUBJ
tie chemical change in the tissues of the
dead body, which make 1t impervious to
decomposition. What this change is even
scientists cannot exactly say. They know
enough. however, to assert that It delays
almost indefinitely the dissolution into dust
and ashes. This is the latest as it will be
the most useful, development In the ancient
art Of embalming.
Its method Is more wonderful than any
yet discovered. because no impious hand
need touch the dead. In the more material
sense, nothing is done to the body by handi-
work; 1t is simply subjected to air heavily
as formaline. This air penetrates the whole
body, and, in the course Of time, makes the
tissues insoluble and the stomach and other
organs sterile. Thus decay is arrested with
out visceration. In word, the dead are
given a new life.
Proof Of 1t can be seen today in Brussels
There, in the public mortuary, are cof-
fined dead bodies changed by formaline
into something that resists natural decay
Constant exposure to the air, which but
for experimental purposes could have been
avoided has had but one result It has
changed the skin from the pallor Of death
into a slightly brown color through desic-
cation. One of these machines Is now in
London for demonstration before the Royal
College Of Surgeons. All the leading path
ologists in London have investigated the
new system, and it Is understood that they
are satisfied that the great problem Of pre-
serving the dead has been entirely over
