After a New Road.

The St. Louis, Memphis & South eastern Railroad, which now has 265 miles in operation, has made a proposition to extend to Little Rock, provided a bonus of $100,000 is raised. The nucleus of the line was the old Houck road, known as the St. Louis, Cape Girardeau & Fort Smith, which was purchased at fore closure sale by MT. Erb three years ago. This road was ninety-two miles in length, running from Hun ter to Cape Girardeau, Mo. During the past year the Hoxie line, which was also purchased, was connected with this line by an extension from Mingo, Mo-, south of Hunter, giv- ing a through line from Cape Girardeau, 129 miles in length. Now it is proposed to build from Augusta to Camden.

Malone May Not Hang.

The supreme court will be called upon to decide the question whether man can be hanged on a plea of guilty of criminal assault. The case Is that of Walter Malone, under sentence to hang at Van Buren Mo- vember 7. Malone would have been mobbed but for the promise of off, cials that he would be given a speedy trial. The governor con- tends capital punishment cannot be assessed on plea of guilty, and says he will submit the question to the supreme court and will not in- terfere with the sentence unless that body refuses to act. MT. Rogers says Malone will be mobbed if he is not legally hanged. The opinion of Attorney General Murphy is direct ly contrary to that of the governor. Col. Murphy says that the statutes provide that in case of a confession to murder in the first degree the accused shall be tried by jury be- fore sentence of death can be passed upon him. In case of rape, how ever, there is but one degree, and its punishment is death, without any qualification as to the manner in which he shall be tried or the ef- feet a confession shall have upon the pronouncement of sentence. Ma lone is now confined in the peniten- tiary at Little Rock.

Sons Suspected.

A floating body was found in White river, one mile above Angus ta, and upon examination was found to be that of A. J. Lane, who, with his two sons, Ira and Lonnie, had been engaged in the shell and pearl industry on White river. A gunshot wound in the head had produced death and the body had been weigh ted with ploughshares and other old iron castings. The verdict of the coroner's jury was that Lane came to his death by means of a gunshot wound inflicted by Ira and Lonnie Lane. The murder is supposed to have been committed for the pur- pose of robbery. The body was bad ly decomposed and the two sons were last heard from going down the river.

Million and a Half in Pensions.

Arkansas is second on the list of Southern states in the matter of federal pensions. There are more than 11,000 in the state, Tennessee being the highest, with over 1S, 900. Arkansas gets nearly mil lion and a half of federal pension money every year, and Tennessee gets almost a million more. Other Southern states range from one or two thousand to six thousand. The large number of federal pensioners in the state is credited to the num- Der of troops which joined the fed eral forces from the northern counties, where most of the pen sions are now paid

Plant to Be Enlarged.

The Texarkana water plant was sold recently at auction by order of Judge Rogers, of the federal court. A controversy arose between citizens and the water works people about year ago, it being alleged that the company failed to furnish a suffi- cient quantity of water to supply public demands. A receiver was ap- pointed, and at the sale the property was bought by the stockholders, who propose to enlarge the plant to the requirements of the city.

Ed Shut Sentenced to Death.

J. B. Shut, who on May 1 last shot and killed Jim Whitener in a saloon at Texarkana, was last week convicted of murder in the first degree and sentenced to be hanged. The killing created a tre- mendous sensation, owing to the prominence of Whitener, who had been leading business man for more than twenty years. Shut was also an old citizen, and at one time was associated with Whitener in business. He set up as his sole de- fense the allegation that Whitener had traduced the character of Mrs. Shut, but this claim was demolish- ed by the prosecution.

A neglected cold is frequently the cause of death.
 ltis more often, however, the cause of some chronic disease.
 There is not an organ in the body but what IS liable to become seriously de- ranged by a neglected cold. Diseases of the kidneys, bladder and digestive organs are all frequently the result of neglected cold.
 Hundreds of dollars are spent on doe tors and medicines trying to cure these diseases, butuntil the true cause of them IS discovered, there will be no use in using medicine.
 Dyspepsia medicine, diarrhna medi- cine and constipation medicine is of no good whatever when catarrh is the cause. The catarrh must be treated The cause being removed, the dcrange- ments will disappear.
 Peruna cures catarrh of the digestive organs, the urinary organsor any of the internal organs.
 If you do not derive prompt and satis- factory results from the use of Peruna write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving full statement of your case, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable ad- vice gratis.

NEWS OF ARKANSAS.
Bloody Battle at Fl Dorado.

at Fl Dorado on the evening of the 9th, in which H. L. Dearing, con- stable, Tom and Walter Parnell, farmers, and Guy B. Tucker, city marshal, were killed. Dr. Hilton and Jim Parnell were slightly wounded. The bloody affair was the outcome of the killing September IS of Robert Mullens by Dearing. On September IF a MT. Puckett ar- rived at El Dorado to wed young lady employed in Mullens' studio. When Puckett called to see the young lady Mullens attacked him and forced him to flee for his life. Later Puckett met the young lady and they were married under the protection of officers and took train for Texarkana. Hearing that Mullens intended to intercept them at small station, Puckett request ed Marshal Tucker and Constable Dearlng to accompany them. When the station was reached Mullens was on the platform, and when he start ed to board the train was arrested and taken back to Fl Dorado. Af- ter furnishing bond he was released, and, meeting Dearing on the street, attacked him. In the scuff1e Dear ing shot Mullens with a pistol and the latter died the following morn ing. The Parnell boys were friends of Mullens and Thos. Newton, one of the duellsts, was a friend of Dearing. Some time ago, it is al- legged, Newton accused the Parnell boys of setting fire to his house, and a few days afterward Newton was stabbed in the back, but by whom was not determined. Both factions went heavily armed. The shooting took place on the principal street of the town, and the men were only a few feet apart. Dearing, Tucker and Newton were passing up the street and met the three Parnel brothers. Jim Parnell is said to have fired at Newton, and in an in- stant tb2 fusillade began. About seyenty-fve shots were fired, and 1t sounded like a regular battle. The men were so close together that their aim was deadly. It developed into a man-to-man affair, Dearing and Tom Parnell emptying their several pistols at each other at a distance so close that when they fell, unable to shoot any more, their bodies formed a cross. The others were firing promiscuously, and it is supposed that shot from Marshal Fuckers pistol killed Walter Par nell Tucker was shot six times. Dr. Hilton tried to separate the men. Upon request of local officers Gov. Davis at once ordered out the resident company of state guard to prevent further bloodshed.
