The Can and Hat Riots.

Those civil disturbances-the cap
and hat riots-w9re in Sweden from
1873 to 1771. The caps were the
Russians and their sympathizers
the hats were the French. For q
time the kingdom was reduced al
most to a state Of anarchy by the
two contending factions, but order
was restored by Gustavus III. in
1771, who, DESTROYS of excluding all
foreign Intervention in the affairs
of Sweden, forbade the use of the
names and sternly repressed all dis
orders growing out of the political
discussion between the factions.

DAVIS HARD HIT.

Washington, D. O., April 25.-Gov. Jeff Davis, of Arkansas, called on President to urge the pardon of man named Jacobson, who is serving a term in Federal penitentiary for violat- ing the national banking laws.
 The president listened to Governor Davis' appeal, but declined to grant the request. Before he left the White House the governor remarked: "Mr President, I am afraid you have not a soft heart.'
 "Perhaps not" replied the presi- dent, "but sometimes a soft heart in a public official is a sign of soft head"

LITTLE ROCK, April "A, 1902.

LITTLE ROCK, April 24, 1902. Gov. Davis was heard from today for the first time since the charges were preferred against him by the discipline committee of the Second Baptist church of this city. It came in the shape of the following telegram from Washington city, where the governor has been sojourning since Monday:
 'John T. Ginocchio, Little Rock Who preferred charges? Whoever said I was drunk or gambled is falsi- fer. Publish this in your paper. Am ready for trial at any and all times to defy them to do their worst. Will admit nothing that is not true; will surrender my seat as governor first. When trial occurs I want time to get witnesses and counsel. I will then prefer in writing specific charges against some of the members ostensi- bly, in the highest standing in the church. I defy them and demand a trial as soon as I return home. I don't deem the matter of enough impor- tance to abandon my trip, even for a day. My only offense is that I lent my humble assistance in defeating their idol, James K. Jones, who is now a political corpse, and the official decapitation of my distinguished friend, Gov. Eagle. They may turn me out of this church, but the Lord will take care of his own, and my friends have borne me kindly and gently above this slander and perse- cution. Please publish this in full.
 "(Signed)
 "JEFF DAVIS, Governor"

DR. JOHN HUNTINGTON.

Dr. John Dunnington, until recent ly resident of Oil Trough Bottom, died at 5 a. m., Friday April 25, 1902 at his new home on Hazel Street in this city.
 Death was caused by nephitis, but not until short time before his death, was his condition realized to be so critical. He had not enjoyed good health since receiving injuries in an accident during the winter.
 The remains were taken to Bates vile for interment, the burial to take place Saturday. The family have a large vault in the Batesville cemetery, constructed at the request of the de- ceased's father, who died last year.
 Dr. Dunnington was born and raised in Independence county, and being man of considerable means, devoted most of his time to his property interests and paid little at- tention to the practice of medicine. The only immediate relatives left by the deceased were his mother and sister, Mrs. J. 0. Yancey, of Bates vile.
 Doctor DunningtOn was man of strong will power and determination, careful in coming to a decision, but persistent in the defense of one when reached. Honorable in busi- ness dealings and faithf Il in his friend ships, he was respet ted and honored by those among whom he lived. Such is the testimony of those who knew him, who extend sympathy to his relatives.

PROTRACTED MEETING OPENS.

The protracted services at the Christian church, to be conducted by Rev. c. 0. Cline of Nashville, Tenn, were opened Sunday morning, that minister using for his text "Bear ye one another's burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ"
 In the evening he gave "Nature's Answer" to the question "Is there a God?" Perhaps no higher compli- ment could be paid the eloquent pull pit orator, than to call attention to the fact that nearly every member of his morning congregation returned for the evening sermon, and in most cases with several friends.
 The Rev MT. Cline is very earnest and impressive speaker, who drives home to every heart the great gospel truths, He makes his audience think because he opens up a line of thought that interests and attracts.

CLERKS ORGANIZE.

At meeting of the clerks of this city at the store of the Wolff Goldman Mercantile Company Monday evening, which was attended by between 30 and 40 of their number, an organiza- tion was perfected in the election of George Sink, chairman and Arthur Bailey, secretary.
 While the organization will probably be made permanent, the especial pur- pose at this time, for which the em- ployes of the retail houses have banded together, is to secure an early closing hour.
 The merchants of the city, with one exception, MT. A. Heiliger, have agreed to close their doors at seven o'clock on all evenings except Satur- day and pay days for the Iron Noun tain and Choctaw, provided that all merchants except druggists and res taurants enter into this compact.
 The assembled clerks repaired to MT. Heiliger's in a body and made known their desires. He agreed to close provided a penalty should be put up to be forfeited upon the failure of anyone to observe the agreement This idea however was not deemed practicable and MT. Heiliger took the matter under advisement, promising to make known his determination the next day.

SHOT IN SELF DEFENSE.
Wyatt Beede Shot and Killed Clee Bennett at Formers Home South of Eight Mile
 Sunday.

Wyatt Beede, a prominent young farmer living about five miles south of Eight Mile on Sunday shot and killed Clee Bennett, an employe of the Western Tie and Timber Company, and from the narrative of the tragedy, as told by visitors from Eight Mile, it would appear that Beede's act was in self defense.
 Clee Bennett had been paying at tentions to the daughter of an old man named Pearson, so the story goes, and as the father refused to let him come upon his place, the two young people met each other at the home of Wyatt Beede. But when the last named learned that the parent of the young lady objected to her seeing Bennett, he told Bennett that he could no longer meet the girl at his home, for he was a friend and neighbor of the father and family.
 This seems to have infuriated Ben nett, who upon Sunday after imbibing quite freely, went to the home of Beede, seeking revenge with a win chester. When he opened fire upon the latter, Beede also produced gun and defended himself, shooting and killing Bennett in the battle that en- sued.
 Beede made no attempt to get away and on Tuesday was arrested and taken before Esquire Burton of Cache township for preliminary hearing, having sent for Judge M. M. Stuckey to defend him. Wyatt Beede is a brother of tulane Beede formerly sur veyor of this county and has always borne good reputation.

CRITICISM
 OF SENATOR WOOD.

The returning veterans are rather indignant over the manner in which Senator J. E. Wood of Marianna, has criticized Dallas and her efforts to take care of the crowds which thronged that city during the reunion.
 Col. Minor, Capt Joyce, MT. Cald- we'll and MT, Ward speak in the high est terms of praise of the Texas city's careful preparation for the event and say that the accommodations were not only adequate but superabundant
 Then again, the hospitality of Dallas was too generous to question for a moment. Prices they say were mod crate and considering the crowds, few were taken advantage of and heeced, as is often the case at such events. Dallas did her part by the "vets" well and nobly and the visitors who partook of her good treatment re- sent keenlysuch aspersions as Senator Wood has cast. Dallas, they say, sur passed even Memphis in handling the big reunion of those who wore the gray.

AN ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.

Carrie Bryant, colored, young woman who came to this city from Poplar Bluff, Mo. last January and has been living on lower Front Street, took plunge into White river Mon day afternoon with suicidal intent, but was rescued by men nearby, be- fore her purpose had been accom- plished.
 About one o'clock she was seen standing on the elevator, but her in tention was forestalled and she was taken back towards home, promising not to return. About half hour later she was seen upon shell barge just below the elevator. She quietly took her hat off and jumped into the river but was rescued by John Woods, ne- gro, as she rose to the surface after sinking once. Marshal Stevens took her in charge upon being notified, and had her removed to her home. There is doubt as to whether she se- riously attempted suicide or only sought to create sensation.

CLOSE COUNTIES
 ON BOTH SIDES.

The Helena World very correctly says: "The Batesville Guard having called attention to the fact that a change of 125 votes would have taken five counties from Clarke and given them to Jones, we beg to say that is a game at which two can play. For in- stance, change of 101 votes would have taken Chicot, Franklin, Hot Springs, Marion and Newton counties from Jones and given them to Clarke. It will thus be seen that there is neither comfort nor profit in these vain comparisons. The Guard should take it's medicine"

The rights and privileges of the Morning Star Railway Company for right of way of it's tracks on Remmel Avenue and Martin and West Second Streets were by unanimous vote of the council at the regular meeting Mon- day night, transferred in full to the Newport Bridge, Belt and Terminal Railway Company.
 Arguments in it's favor were made by J. M. Stayton, one of the incorp- orators of the new company and by B. D. Chadick of the Morning Star.
 MT. Stayton assured the council that the new company was controlled by the same capital which is behind the Morning Star, the transfer being necessary for the reasons advanced to the members privately and which cannot at this date be given publicity, for fear of injuring the Morning Star Railroad and thus the interests of our own city There could be no scheme in this move to secure for another road, right of way over the streets named, as the bridge over White river costing $25O,OOO and other ter minal expenses are necessary to se- cure for the new company these de- sired privileges, and no company could undertake such expenses sim ply to hold the rights conveyed. The proviso of the council was perfectly agreeable to the desires of the pro- moters and capitalists behind the new road.
 The report of the board of health was read and upon motion of Bailey, seconded by Wilmans, the communi- cation of Mrs. Anna Bell was referred back for the board to make a report on. The communication from the board of health gave notice of that body's organization, by the election of Dr. o. E. Jones, president and Ed Phillips, secretary. The board also returned communication of Mrs. Anna Bell without recommendation and ordered the printing of sanitary notice, which is to be served on every resident of the city.
 The minutes of preceding meeting were read and approved, also usual bill allowed. Upon conclusion of business mentioned above, council adjourned
