The Green Forest tribune., 1902-03-08

He cited that under almost ex- actly the same law the attorney general of Missouri recovered from the trusts the sum of $93,- 900 in fines.
 Col. Rector asserted that as at torney general MT. Davis used the contingent fund for that office for his personal benefit, employing a stenographer and paying for an electric fan, combs and brushes and telephone messages. In support of his charge that the governor had brought odium and disrepute upon the name of the state, Col. Rector said MT. Davis had horribly abused the pardon ing power and that he had grossly misrepresented conditions of af- fairs of the state penitentiary by publishing a ghastly picture in the Memphis Commercial Appeal and the St. Louis Post Dispatch, representing it to be a convict who was whipped to death in the pen itentiary, when, as matter of fact, the sores shown upon the body of the dead negro were bed sores, he having died from 8 lingering disease.
 Col. Rector accused Gov. Davis with either incompetency pr in- sincerity in signing the lease con- tract of the state convicts to the Arkansas Brick Manufacturing Co.,, a deal which he asserted would cost the state a million and a half dollars, and he (the gov ernor) is now adding disrepute to disgrace by saying he will pardon every d-d convict in the pen- itentiary if the supreme court does not uphold the decision an nulling the contract. He char acterized such an action as an- archistic and declared the state to be in dangerous plight, Col. Rector also said that the public and private utterances of Gov. Davis relative to the abuse of penitentiary convicts has caused them to become unruly and even desperate in some instances, and that the guards were in imminent danger of being murdered by them; in fact. he said death had already resulted in one or two instances. Col. Rector declared that under Gov. Davis the con- victs are the best fed set of men in the state and went on to quote a bill of fare that would be worthy of a S3 day hotel. Col. Rector declared this state of affairs to be wholly unjust to the taxpayers of the state, whose families in many instances are in needy circum- stances.
 Col. Rector capped the climax of his scathing arraignment of Gov. Davis by saying the gov ernor was answering him by substitute for the reason he him. self could no longer stand up and defend himself against the ac- cusations that had been brought to bear upon his official conduct.
 It is rather hard to tell the eff feet of the speaking upon the people here. Sentiment was al- ready divided and the feelings somewhat bitter in some instan- ces. Judge Bourland was vo- ciferously applauded both at the opening and closing of his ad- dress. The same might be said of Col. Rector. The applause was especially pronounced at the close of Col. Rector's talk.

houses men were accustomed TO resort
in hunting kit for the purpose Of being
splashed with mud.

Finally the torpor becomes complete.
He cannot be reused even TO take food,
and dies of starvation.

more curious, although fortunately not
nearly so deadly, ana is known TO spe-

There are so many different styles Of
skirts this season that it is possible to
have quite a variety in ones costumes.
Last year the skirts were so much alike
that there was a disagreeable same
ness to a large wardrobe, but now the
flcunced, plain, flaring and close fit
ting, lavishly trimmed and very little
ulimmed are alike said to be correct
style, and one has only to chooAe the
most becoming.
The so-called shirt waist dress has
had a very good effect upon fashions
from an economical point Of view, as
well as from the general appearance
Of simplicity, and the style of these
gowns enables one of them to be made
in either elaborate or simple materials.
The style is the same in them ali, the
skirt with sufficient fullness to have a
becoming flare. but not exaggerated
and the waist with enough blouse to
make it becoming to a slender or stout
figure.
Trimming the waist and skirt with
lines to correspond is a feature Of the
new shirt waist gowns as well as other
styles. A charming gown has three
lines Of braid starting from the shoul-
der, extending to the bust and then
down the front on the waist. and the
same lines are repeated on the skirt
the lines ON the waist and those en- the
skirt meeting at the belt
A plain piece Of lace Is often used IN
these gowns to trim waist and skirt
Heavy lace should be used for this time
of the year, or heavy brd.ding Both

starts fro mthe shoulder, goes diagonal
ly across the bust and then down On
to the skirt in a straight lice from the
bust to the hem of the gown. 1t is ex-
traordinary how this trimming will
make the very simplest and rather IN
effective gown look smart and becom-
ing, and the same idea can be carried
out equally well in a stitched band. u
will give the long line that is required,
without in any way interfering with the
style of the gown.
Flounced skirts are difficult to make
that is unless great care is taken that
the fiounces are not too wide and have
not too much fullness in them.They are
best when the fOunces are quite scant
three flOunces around the foot, with
the fiounces much narrower in front
than at the back, and put on to give a
pointed effect in front, are far more be-
coming than when the same hounces
are put around the skirt plain. A long
Jacket ought not to be worth With these
founced skirts, and yet some Of the
newest costumes show this same style
Of three flounces on the foot of the
skirt and q jacket extending well be-
low the hips, and finished around the
shoulders with triple cape. AS may
be imagined, only a very tall woman
| has any right to wear such a gown.
The fiounced skirt is modified to suit
different figures. in some instances by
having three flounces around the back
and sides and none in front, just a
plain breadth, or one deep fiounce az
the back anda plain front breadth, thus
giving the long lines in front and the
/ lhare at the back and sides.

HELD NO INQUEST
IN PARKER CASE
No Marks of Violence on
Body Although Boy Was
Beaten by Gang

Dover, Oct 27.-There was no coro--
ners investigation over the body Of un-
fortunate little Alexander Parker,
whose death from acute meningitis on
Friday night was alleged by his neigh
bors to have been from beating adj
ministered by some schoolnates. The
little fellow was buried at Lakeside
Cemetery yesterday afternoon. and tho
secret Of his taking on, If there
were amy, went down TO the grave with
him.
The statements Of DR.. w l.. Davis.
the attending physician, that no marks
of violence could be noticed upon Par
ker's body and OF his step-father that
the boy complained of no injury and
gave evidence OF none, together with
tn fact that the witness who had vol
unteered the information Of the beat
ing could not be found and had not left
his name, caused the abandonment Of
any investigation.
There is no doubt that the boy had
been picked on and had been thrashed
several times Within the past fortnight
because he Wasa Newcomer and had no
resentment for his tormentorB. Michael
Riley, his ndighboring storelIeeper,
who employed him to deliver goods be-
tween school hours, has had TO rum into
the street several times to pull gangs
OF bully schoolboys away from the UNI
fortunate Parker. DR.. Davis states that
while meningitis such as caused his
ueath might havoresulted from injuries
received I'M a rough fight OF this charac-
ter, yet Il would have been almost inn
possible TO tell when and where, or in
what sorimmage the boy reoeived the
injuries which ultimately oaused his
death.
