As a result Of witnessing the execu-
ton at Little Rock Of Anderson, the
negro convicted of assault, Lemoyne
James, aged IA years, had narrow
escape from death. The boy was show
ing some playmates how the hanging
was done. He tied rope to a clothes
line and placing the other end around
his neck, swung of the banisters OF
porch, evidently thinking the rope was
long enough to allow him to reach
the ground. His calculation was
wrong and he hung suspended
for several minutes. until neigh
Dor who had been attracted by the
screams of other children went to
his rescue. When cut down the boy
was unconscious. Several physicians
were called, and as a last resort Sc
vered an artery in the neck to allow
the clotted blood to escape, which was
the only thing that saved his life. AS
it is his neck was badly wrenched
and had the drop not been SO short
his neck would have been broken.

The commission, in its report, COM
plains of the inadequacy OF appropria-
tons for accomplishing useful results
on the Missouri river or for making
progress toward an ultimate improve
ment. The fact that there Is niue
commerce on the river the commas
sion attributes entirely to the condi-
ton of the river, which is such that IL
is hazardous to run boats and impos-
sible to obtain insurance at reasoha-
BILE rates. Nc commerce OF conse-

river is put in nav,gaple condition ana
opened to the mouth.
The completion of the work from
the mouth of the river to Jefferson
City, the report says, would demand
that commerce would spring up, and
in addition millions would be added to
the valley by preventing destruction
caused by the river. The commission
estimates that this result could be
completed for $j.oCO,0Oo to $3'5oo'ooo

Col. John G. Fletcher, Of Little Rock,
sums up the cotton crop of this state
as follows:
"A careful estimate Of the condition
Of the cotton crop in Arkansas is 60
per cent, and some places it is as low
as so per cent. The best cotton land,
1t is estimated, supports condition
of about rs per cent, and will probably
make &C 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 five-eighths 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 uplands
from now on, the crop cannot be more
than one.third Of last year"

Wreck On tho Wabash East

Peru, Ind, July 3i.-One of the mar
rowest escapes from disastrous
wrecks il the history of the Wabash
Railway Co. occupied about seven
miles east Of this place last night.
Train No. 5, the fast limited mail, due
here at seven o'clock, was delayed by
a partially burned-out bridge, and re-
ceiyed orders at Keller's station to
come to Peru.
About the sane time special
bridge train was sent out of here, and
after it lett came news of the de-
parture of the passenger. With no
telegraph station between the points
the officers realized that nothing
short of miracle could save the
trains, and a wrecking train was
called out. Surgeons were summoned
and preparations made for the worst
At the point where the two trains
met was long and rounding curve,
and the headlights of both engines
were observable. Even with this in
their favor the full force of the emer-
gency brakes applied, the engines
came together with sufficient force to
break pilots, headlights and other
parts of the front Of engines.
Both trains were given a terrific
shaking up, and two men were severe
ly, but not dangerously injured. The
enginemen and all of the men on the
bridge train jumped, but none was in
