NEWS OF ARKANSAS.
The rhree-Mils Law.

An important ruling was made in supreme court on the three mile law. The opinion was delivered by Justice Riddick.
 s. J. Morton and others filed a petition with the county court of Cleburne county asking that the sale of liquor be prohibitd within three miles of the Heber High school. The county judge made this endorsement on the petition, viz: 'Tgnore en- tirely." On appeal to the circuit court the petition was granted and the sale of liquors within that dis trict was prohibited. The circuit court refused to make the county a party to the proceedings on petition of the county judge, to which refusal the county excepted and appealed to the supreme court.
 In his opinion MT. Justice Riddick said: "rhe county judge had the right to appeal, as by section 127O of the digest it is provided that the county judge shall defend appeals from that court to the circuit court This includes the right of appeal Nor was it necessary that either the county or the county judge should be made a party to the proceedings in the circuit court in order to exer- else that right. It is contended that the circuit court had no juris- diction of the case because the county court did not make an order in the case that could be appealed from and because the record does not show any affidavit for an appeal.
 "As to the affidavit the county judge could defend the appeal in the circuit court without being formally made party. so it was not neces- sary. As they failed to move the circuit court to dismiss the appeal for want of an affidavit, it is too late to make the objection here.
 "It eems doubtful if the county judge made a final order in the case but we hold that in endorsing the pc tition ignored entirely he refused the prayer of and rejected the peti- ton. But it is said that if he did reject the petition the order of re- lection was never made matter ol record, and hence the appeal to the circuit court was premature; but oul statute provides that appeals shall be granted to the circuit court from all final orders and judgments of the county court, at any time within si, months after rendition of the same A distinction is made between the rendition of the judgment and its entry, and it is not absolutely es- sential under this statute that tho
 judgment should be entered of record 9efore an appeal is taken. The or
 Ter of the county court should have been placed on record, but no objec- ton havng been made on this grounc in the circuit court it IS too late tc make it here"

Every time Grover Cleveland

Every time Grover Cleveland makes a public utterance ot any kind it seems to be signal for large number of Democratic news papers to begin to abuse him. We are not self-constituted apologists fer MT. Cleveland, for we cannot endorse his policy of refusing to obey the will of the majority of his party, but it is we'll to remember a few things that he has done. He was the first and only Democrat since the war who has brought enough strength to the party to carry the national election. He had the courage to place Southern Democrats in his Cabinet and keep them there, despite the protest of carping northern critics. He had the backbone to compel Great Bri- tian to cease her aggression on Venezuela, and by his Secretary of State, promulgated a new Mon roe Doctrine" which was designed to ever hold the aegis of our pro- lection over the weaker republics of this continent. Compare this great victory for Americanism with the weak kneed policy of McKin- ley with regard to Great Britain's seizure of our territory in Alaska and Cleveland towers above the man from Ohio like giant above a pigmy. And whatever bad qualities he possessed Mir. Cleve- land certainly had the courage of his own convictions. Very few men could have stood the storm of abuse which, he drew down on himself without weakening.

The Helena World is waging

 war against newspapers that use wooden" editorials, stolen, ill most instances, from other papers. This is a righteous cause and we hope he'll have all such editors feeling so mean that they will quit tIeir evil ways. A paper filled with stolen editorials is always con temptible and sometimes amusing, especially when a country editor "swipes" funny editorial, the point of which is only appreciated by city people, and runs it in his own 2x4 weekly. These journal istic misfts deserve all the abuse and disgrace that can be heaped upon them.

opiaion by Attorney General.

Tn response to an inquiry, Atfor- nev-General Davis gives the follow ing construction of the new road law: sIt can easily be understood why there are so many requests fer construction of this act, as 1t seems the legislature has-complieated it as much as possible. Under section 2 of the act of 1899 it is left dscrc- tionary with the county court and magistrates as to how they shall di- vide the county as regards the road districts. and as neither this act nor theNact of 1897 exempts incorpor- ated towns from their provisions if would be in the discretion of the court to put an incorpated town either in district by itself or in a district with contiguous territory. If put in district by itself, it would be the recipient of the 3-mill levy, and also the citizens within the in- corporated limits would be restricted in their labor to the roads and streets within the limits, but should it be put into district with contiguous territory, then the district would reap the benefits of the levy, and he Boundary lines of the corporate

Prodigal Father Returns.

A story of the return of tho prod father, after an absence of thirty years. during which time none of his relatives knew of his wherea- bouts. comes from Altheimer, lief ferson county. Over quarter of a century ago John Saulspaugh, a prominent citizen, left his home in Pine Bluff, not even telling his wife and children where he was going. The disappearance created quite a sensation at the time, and after years of searching the man was given up as dead. Mrs. Saulspaugh. despairing of ever seeing her hus- band again, secured a divorce and was married to the late Judge John A. Williams, who at the time of his death was judge of the federal court for the eastern district of Arkansas. Just a week before Christmas the elder Saulspaugh appeared at the home of his son at Altheimer. To reporter he refused to tell why he disappeared.
 While Marvin Wilson, young white man, was en route to his home from Pine Bluff Christmas eve, he was held up and robbed by two ne- gro men and negro woman.
