Five Conyicts Escape.

Five negro convicts escaped from the state camp at England. It seems that the five negroes were at work blowing in a field several miles from the stockade, each one hand ling the lines over one of the states mules. One of the negroes stopped blowing to bring the lone guard in charge of the squad drink of water. and the others so managed 1t that they reached the place where the guard was about the same time. As the guard raised the dipped to his mouth the negro who was carrying the water bucket suddenly seized him around the waist and pinioned his arms to his side. The other negroes came quickly to the assist ance of their fellow-convict, and it was the work of but a few seconds to take the guards revolver and Winchester. One of the negroes kept the guard covered while the others unhitched the five mules from the blows and mounted them. Then the convict who was guarding the guard mounted his mule and quickly joined the others. The names of the escapes and their terms are as follows: Will Dillehay, sent up March 16, 1897, from Lee coun- ty for twenty-one years for murder; he escaped shortly after his incarce- ration and was onl y recaptured last February, in Mississippi, and re- turned to the penitentiary walls; he has stiff arm. Adam Greer, sent up from Crittenden county Decem- Der 10, 1899, for eight years; he escaped last year at West Memphis, but was recaptured shortly after ward.

Settled With the State.

The city treasurer of Fayette vile recently paid into the state treasury the sum of $10,131.32, and delivered twenty-five new bonds to meet the indebtedness of the city entered into in 1872, to secure the location of the state university in that city. Washington county gave $100,O00 as a bonus, and recently paid the full amount on the ma- turity of the bonds. The city's bonds recently matured, the bonus having been $2o,ooO in .thirty-year bonds.

The new bonds are for twenty years at 5 per cent, the old bonds having been for thirty years at s per cent.

State Offers Reward.

The state offers a reward of $25O for the arrest and conviction of J. Forshe, or Fourshay, who, on July 4, at De Queen, Sevier county, shot and killed A. P. Taylor, a well- known resident of that place. Tay- Tor and his son were walking down the street and the sidewalk being narrow, brushed against Forshe in passing. In few minutes they re- turned, words were passed, and, it is said, Forshe whipped out re- volver and fired on the elder man, who was killed almost instantly The son knocked Forshe down with a chair after his father had fallen, but Forshe made good his escape.

The Cow Came Back.

Pending the indictment by the grand jury of Gus Wells and Sal Patillo, of Pulaski county, held on a charge of COW stealing, the animal they were supposed to have stolen returned to the home of her owner. At their preliminary trial the evi- dence in the case was purely circum- stantial, but it seemed conclusive. A boy testified that he had seen the men take the COW, and the hide, which it was claimed had been sold, was introduced in court and posi- lively identified as that of the miss ing animal.

NEWS OF ARKANSAS.
Col. Murphy Gives an Opinion.


 Attorney General Murphy has given the following construction of the county uniformity textbook act: Professor J. J. Doyne, Superinten-
 dent of Public Instruction, Little
 Rock, Ark:
 Dear Sir have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your communication asking my opinion as to whether section 3 of the act of the general assembly of this state entitled 'An act to provide for county uniformity in Textbooks" approved March 31, 1899, is in operation in counties wherein there was no vote on the subject of coun- ty uniformity at the various annual district school meetings, to the ex- tent of preventing, for one year thereafter in such districts, any change of the school books in use therein. Section 1 of the act en- larges the old law by empowering the electors, assembled in annual school meeting to the number of not less than five, to vote, in addition to other matters determinable by them in that way, on the question of county uniformity in textbooks; and while 1t is true that section ? says that the ballot of the electors shall. in addition to the name of the person to be voted for as directors and the words 'for tax and "against tax,'' have printed on it ''for county uniformity or ''against county uniformity" this does not mean that the electors shall vote upon the question of county uni formity, If they obliterate or erase from the ballot neither the words "for uniformity nor "against uni formity," it is manifestly that there is no vote upon the question. The same is true if the words ''for uni formity" and "against uniformity" are left off the ballots. Hence 1t seems to be within the option of the elector to vote or not to vote upon this question, to exercise or not eX- ercise the power conferred by the Uniformity act; but, even if this is not within their option, how can it appear, or who has the power to declare, that the vote in a given county was against uniformity when there was no vote at all on the sub iect? It is manifest that no one has such power.
 I am therefore of the opinion that the 'uniformity'' act has no operative force in counties where there was no vote at the last annual school election on the subject of "county uniformity" and that in such counties the provisions of the old law govern.

 Attorney General.
