A HORRIBLE CRIME

A Huntsville dispatch says (:
News has just reached here from
Clifty, a small town fifteen miles
north of Huntsville, that young
man named John Pemberton, had
murdered his mother. For some
time Pemberton has had frequent
attacks of violent insanity, and it
was in one of these fits that he
committed the horrible deed.
The particulars Of the tragedy,
so far as were learned, are that
Pemberton made an attempt TO
shoot his brother. His mother
prevented him from doing this,
and he became enragad at her
and struck her several times on
the head with his gun, crushing
ner skull, She died almost in
SANITY His lunacy is attributed
to his miserly desire to obtain
money

SHCRTER SESSIONS,

Former State Senator j. A. G.
Blackburn, Of Rogers, in letter
to the Arkansas Democrat makes
the following timely suggestion:
"Now is the time for each coun-
ty to begin to look out for mem
bers to the next general assembly,
and make this suggestion that
each county in this state demand
each and every candidate that
comes out for. either state senator
or representative that he will
pledge himself to vote and work
to get all the appropriation bills
through both houses not later
than the fifth week of the session,
then let them pledge themselves
to adjourn at the end of sixty
days; that is plenty long for busi-
ness men to make and amend our
laws. Then if any of those SO
pledging themselves should fail
to perform their duty then lei
them be forever retired to private
| life,

brated speech, delivered re.
Gently at Fort Smith, says:

Company at this time is not

a trust, but in the end it will

reminds us of the the story
of the devoted mother who
suddenly came upon her
daughter who was weeping
bitter tears, and asking the
cause received this answer:
II was just thinking that
just suppose John and |

good Lord should bless our
union with a precious little
babe, and just as the little
thing began to walk, it
should fall in the river and
drown, O, it would break

STRANGE OCCURRENCE

At Eureka Springs Part of a
needle was taken out of Mrs. T.
W. Bishops foot last Friday by
DR.. Bolton, which had been in
her flesh for twenty-five years:
She was living at Bonne Terre,
Mo-, when she accidentally stuck
a darning needle in her left limb,
above the knee, when she was
mounting horse for a five-m
ride. She said nothing about it
when it was done and when she
reached her destination the nee
die had disappeared. AS it causs-
ed no pain or inconvenience she
allowed it to remain in her flesh,
and she had long ago forgotten
the occurrence. Aboutten days
ago she felt something. in the bot
tom of her foot, ichshe thought
was splinter which had in some
unaccountable way gotten there,
or that it was a tack from her
shoe. Investigation proved that it
was a needle, and Dr.. Bolton ex-
tracted it last Friday. 1t came
to the surface point first, but
broke into small pieces as it was
being taken out,

London. October 2.--Most elaborate plans have been made for the reception of the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and York at Portsmeuth und London. It is not generally felt that ths tour of the Duke and Duchess has been success. as on the whole comparatively little in terest has been taken in ir, the war and other clements having completely over shadowed the royal journey. The officials, however, are determined that 1t shall all end in blaze of glory. At Ports mouth an effective naval display has been arranged. Fifteen batsleships and cruisers will sail tomorrow to meet the royal yacht Ophir and escort her to Portsmouth. The royal party will take train Saturday and reach I.ondor at o'clock in the afternoon. Here 10000 troops will keep the streets clear for the process sion from Victoria station to Marlbor- ough House.

Miners Celebrate Anniversary of Big
 Coal Strike Victory.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, October 29.-Mitchell Day was observed here today by the United Mine Workers by a parade in which 15,000 miners marched and which was headed by John Mitchell, the presi- dent of the union. After the parade was over a mass meeting was held at which MT. Mitchell was the principal speaker. He said he was opposed to compulsory arbitration but was in favor of volun- tary arbitration in the settlement of dis putes between employer and employe. He urged the miners to petition Congress to re-enact the Chinese exclusion act, other wise the whole country would be overrun with Mongolians, and many of them will find their way to the mines, there to compete with white labor.
 MT. Mitchell said he was hopeful that the coal operators of the anthracite re- zion would consent to a joint conference with the miners before the first of April next.

 ''No anomalies found. The brain in gen eral is well developed, sufficiently marked with Assures and the lobes are in normal proportions

 Shortly afterward it was taken to, the prison cemetery and extraordinary pre- caution taken to completely destroy it. A few days ago, under the wardens or der, an experiment was made to deter mine the power of quick lime in the de- struction of flesh and bone, which was not satisfactory. Warden Meade con ferred with some of the physicians pres ent and determined that, as the purpose of the law was the destruction of the body. 1t was not necessary to use quick lime for that purpose.
 Accordingly a oarboy of acid was ob- tained and poured upon the body in the coffin after 1t had been lowered into the grave. Straw was used in the four cor ners of the grave as the earth was put in to give vent to such gases as might form.
 It is the belief of the physicians that the body will be entirely disintegrated within twelve hours. During that time and as long as deemed necessary a guard will be kept over the unmarked grave.
