4 CLOSE FINISH. Bell Defeats White for Mayor by Narrow Margin of
 30 Votes. JUDGE BROWN WINS EASILY FOR REELECTION TO OFFICE OF
 POLICE JUDGE. Westbrook Comes Under the String for City Treasurer, Distancng
 His Competitor.
RETURNS IN FULL BY WARDS

The municipal election is over. It was one of the closet and most ex- citing contests that ever occurred in Pine Bluff, and interest was at fever heat from the time the polls opened Tuesday morning to the announce ment of the result at a late hour Tuesday night The interest center ed mainly in the mayoralty contest, especially after it was seen that Judge T. lite Brown had carried the city by flattering and safe majority for reelection in the police judge contest.
 The battle between Hon. D. C. Bell and Gen. H. King White for mayor was well fought, and judging from the returns it may be stated that their friends were about eqauIly divid- ed
 Several hundred people gathered at the court house Tuesday night to receive the returns from the four wards. The Fourth was the first to report. That ward boiled the heaviest vote in it's history--3S7. Mr. Bell figured on carrying it by from fifty to one hundred votes. His majority in that ward was only eleven votes. This caused his friends TO little un- eaSineSS. It was conceded that Gen White would carry the first ward lv good majority, and 1t was realized that Mir. Bell would have to carry the Second and Third wards by good majorities to overcome Gen. Whites gain in the first. The judges from the Third ward reported that MT. Bel! had carried that ward by fCrty-five votes. This was somewhat encourag- ing to the Bell supporters and when the bell in the court house tower be- gan to strike the hour of nine there was a great demonstration, the Bell crowd yelling and shouting at the top of their votes
 Many bets were wagered by the friends of the opposing candidates as the supporters figured that Gen. Whites majority in the first ward would elect him. The Bell men, on the other hand, figured that Bells majority from the Second ward would give him a lead that White could not overcome. Much to the dis appointment of Bells friends. the

HENDRIX VICTORIOUS.
CARRIES OFF THE HoNoRs IN
 THE DEBATING CONTEST.
Steel and O'DanieI, of Hendrix, De- feat VermiIion and Coudray, of
 Ouachta.

Conway, Ark, April 3.-The an nual debate between Ouachita and Hendrix colleges, which had been looked forward to all over the state, was won by Hendrix representatives. Messrs. Will Steele and C. l.. O'Dan- iel. The large auditorium of Ouachi- ta college was crowded with students, town people and visitors. The dis cussion was we'll conducted on both sides and showed much research and logic Messrs Vermillon and Cou- dray were the representatives from Ouachita. To the large audience the result of the argument was apparent and the auditors were prepared for the decision of the judges as render ed by Col Mitchell, when he said. "Hendrix is victorious
 The effect of the announcement upon the audience was magical The Hendrix delegation of about twenty five went wild and the old cry of "HendriX, Rah, rang out in triumph, while an enthusiastic crowd packed the stage trying to offer congratula- tions to the victors.
 But when the grades were made known the sweeping character of Hendrix's conquest was seen. For the Hendrix representatives led those of Ouaehita by g points on delivery and 15 on argument While both of the averages of Messrs Steele and O'Daniel were by wide margin higher than that of Ouachita's s best man. The decisive nature of the vic. tory of Hendrix can be readily seen when the fact that the general aver age of Hendrix was 7-20 points higher than that of Ouachita, is known. Hendrix may well congrat- ulate herself
 Both colleges owe debt of grati- tnde to Messfs. Gee B Rose and James Mitchell, who served as judges for the occasion. and the students of Hendrix are indebted to the students and faculty of Ouachita. also the citizens cf Philadelphia for the royal manner in which they were received and entertained during their stay
 On the return of the victorious de- baters a iHbilant welcome awaited them and triumphant march escort ed them to the college The jubilee meeting was whirlwind of college patriotism and enthusiasm as the student body offered praises to it's successful representatives Steele and O'Daniel A movement has been set on foot by the joint session of the literary societies of Hendrix to pre- sent each of the debaters q gold headed cane.

Second ward gave hlm only four ma jority.
 Three wards had reported-Second, Third and Fourth. Bell carried them all having a majority of sixty votes. The First was yet to report. Some of Bells supporters threw up the sponge, believing that Whites majority in that ward would be sufficient to over- much speculation as to the way the First ward went. The White men were confident that they were win ners and some of the Bell men were equally confident that their man would have safe majority after the First reported. The judges of that ward did not go to the court house to count the vote, but remained at West. brooks commission house to do the counting. After all the wards had re- ported, with the exception of the First, a large number of the crowd around the court house went to West brooks and there awaited the result When it was announced, mass of human beings ran wildly up Main street to the court house, yelling, Bell! Bell, Bell..." The crowd that remained at the court house knew that it was all over They took up the word and there was an enthu- siastic demonstration. The First ward gave Gen. White a majority of only thirty votes, and the total show ed Mr. Bell to be a winner by thirty votes. Thus ended one of the most exciting political contests that was ever held in this city.
 Bells friends hugged him and forced him to make a speech from the court house steps. He was intro duced by Richard Pritehard, local negro politician, who worked admir- ably for Bell i'll the Second ward Tuesday. MT Bell made a brief talk. ln which he thanked his friends for the honor again bestowed upon him. and assured them that they would not regret it. He was frequently in terrupted by applause.
 Judge T. Hite Brown in the race for police judge, carried every ward in the city. Judge J. w. Owen was second with a good number of votes.
 In the city treasurer's race Hugh Westbrook won by an overwhelming majority, carrying every ward in the city
 The candidates for aldermen were all elected without opposition. They are: First ward, J. E. Boyce. re-elect ed; Second ward, Gabe Never. re- elected; Third ward, M. NJ. Bruce; Fourth ward, Theo. Wollerman. re- elected. Mr. Bruce will be the only new councilman in the city council. The present incumbent from that ward, Mir R. C. Wilkins. was not a candidate for reelection.
 in all there were very few disturb. ances. Tuesday afternoon several ne groes, Bell supporters, Jumped on T White negro in the First ward and for time it looked as if a small riot would result. Others interferred. however, and the trouble was stopped by the White negro being carried away.
 In the Fourth ward white man struck negro and the negro struck the ground. No other damage was done in that instance.
 Tuesday night several fights occur red between both blacks and whites, but each time the participants were arrested and quiet restored

MRS. BONNIE ACQUITTED.
The Washington Jury Declared Her Not
Guilty of the Murder of James
Seymour Ayres, Jr.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE jury in
the case of Mrs. Lola Ida Henry Bo-
nine, charged with the murder of
James Seymour Ayres, Jr., in the
Kenmore hotel, in this city, ON the
night of May 10, last evening returned
verdict of Not guilty" and the
defendant was set at liberty. Such
a conclusion of the trial was general
ly expected, the popular impression
here being that, from the evidence
submitted, the prosecution had'failed
to prove its case against Mrs. Bonine.
The jury was out less than five hours,
retiring a few minutes after four
o'clock in the afternoon, and report
ed their verdict shortly before nine
o'clock last evening
The attendance in the court room
when the jury returned was limited
to the members of the bar, represen-
tatives cf the press and the employees
of the court.
There was some little attempt at
a demonstration Of approval, but this
was quickly suppressed BY Judge
Anderson, who had previously warned
the spectators against manifestations
of any character. Mrs. Bonine was
in court at the time. and with her
were her husband and her two boys
and several of her relatives, all of
whom have shown their sympathy for
her by their constant attendance dur
ing the long trial.
The jury was discharged and Mrs.
Bonine and her friends left the court
house by back door.
The trial of Mrs. BGnine had been
in progress for almost four weeks,
and attracted more attention than
any trial before the local courts in
years.

Williamsport, Pa, Dee. ia
freight train on the Philadelphia ami
Erie division of the Pennsylvania
railroad went through the bridg,
spanning Lycoming creek between
tlis city and Newberry Ot six o'clock
this morning. Three lives were lost.
The train was known as Fast
Freight No. SO, and was running three
hours late, owing to the disarrange-
ment of schedule in consequence OF
the storm. The bridge spanning the
creek was a two-span iron structure,
the first span of which gave way be-
meath the train. The engine and nine
cars were engulfed in the icy waters.
The creek was greatly swollen as a
result of the heavy rains, and it is
presumed the middle pier had been
weakened. No efforts could be made
to reach the bodies on account of the
height of the waters.
All the streams in this section were
greatly swollen, the Susquehanna riv-
er here reaching height of 81 feet,
which did no damage in the city be-
yond flooding few cellars on the
lowlands.
During the "a hours ending at mid
night last night the rainfall was three
inches.

HALF OUR ILLS
ARE CATARRHAL
IN NATURE.
Catarrhal Diseases are Most
Prevalent in Winter.
IS THERE NO WAY OF
ESCAPE FROM THEM?
Pe-ru-na Never Fails to Cure
Catarrh Wherever
Located.

There are some things which are az
sure as fate, and can be relied on to occur
to at least one-half of the human family
unless means are taken to prevent.
First, the climate of winter is sure to
bring colds.
Second, colds not promptly cured are
sure to cause catarrh.
Third, catarrh improperly treated is
sure to make life short and miserable.
Catarrh spares no organ or function of
the body. 1t is capable Of destroying
sight, taste, Smell, hearing, digestion,
secretion, assimilation and excretion.
1t pervades every part of the human
body, head, throat, stomach, bowels,
bronchial tubes, lungs, liver, kidneys,
bladder and other pelvic organs.
That Peruna cures catarrh wherever
located is attested by the following tes-
dmonials sent entirely unsolicited to
DR.. Hartman by grateful men and wo-
men who have been cured by Peruna:
Catarrh of The Head.
Mr.. D. r. Ramsey writes in recent
letter from Pine Bluff, Ark, the fol-
"My con, Leon Ramsey, four years of
cCc, suffered with catarrh of the head
fo- eighteen or twenty months. He took
one bottle OF your Peruna and could
hear as good as ever."-D. r. RAMSEY.
Catarrh of The Nose.
Mr.. Herman Ehlke, 952 Orchard street,
Milwaukee, Wis, writes:
