Dairy cows :. 312,577 330,165 Mules ..... 177,480 126,496 Sheep ...... 168,161 243,999 Swine ......1,713,307 1,505,214
 A comparison between the num- bers of domestic animals reported in 1890 and 1900 indicates an i'm portant change in the character of the livestock industry. There has been a small decrease in the num- bers of other neat cattle and of sheep. Horses and mules, on the other hand, show great increases, and swine have increased to some extent
 The decrease of 5.3 per cent in the number of dairy cows since 1890. is believed to be more appar- ent than real, as the production of milk more than doubled in the same period. It is probable that many of the 19,557 "cows and hejfers not kept for milk were in reality milch COWS, dry at the time of enumera- ton.
 The decrease in the number of "other neat cattle" is probably even greater than indicated by the table The number of "other neat cattle' given for 1900 includes 25l.4T3 calves, and 1t is uncertain whether any calves were reported in 1890 un- der this designation. If not, there has been a decrease, for the decade, of 50.G per cent in the number of ''other neat cattle' over one year of age. The conclusion might be drawn that, owing to the rapid set clement of the state, the steadily enhancing value of farm lands, and the increasing acreage devoted to crops, the Arkansas farmer has partially abandoned stock raising as a source of revenue It must be borne in mind, however, that the comparatively high market prices of beef and mutton which prevailed for number of months prior to the date of enumeration, naturally led many farmers to reduce their herds and focks to an unusual extent.
 The rapid development of agricul- ture since the close of the civil war is nowhere more clearly reflected than in the steady increase in the number of houses and mules. Near ly three times as many horses and approximately five times as many mules, were reported in 1900 as in 1870. In the last decade the num- Der of horses increased 35.1 per cent and the number of mules, 4O.3 per cent.
 The sheep-raising industry has been on the decline since 1880, the decrease in the last ten years amounting to 308 per cent. Swine have fuctuated in number from decade to decade, the change since 1890 being an increase of 13.S per cent.
 The total value of all live stock on farms, June 1, 1900, was $37,- 4S3,771 Of this amount 27.1 per cent represents the value of horses; 27.2 per cent that of mules and bur ros: l6.9 per cent that of dairy COWS; 14.0 per cent that of other neat cattle; 8 per cent that of swine; 4.1 per cent that of poultry, and 1.9 per cent that of all other live stock.
 No reports were secured of the value of live stock not on farms, but it is probable that such animals have higher average values than those on farms. Allowing the same averages, the total value of the do- mestlc animals not on farms is $2,- 28O,l7o. Exclusive of the poultry and bees not on farms, the total value of live stock in the state is approximately $39,763,941.

Some interruptions person made an attempt to blow up the home of Jack Williams, an engineer, in North Little Rock. Two sticks of dynamite were placed underneath the house with regular dynamite cap attached to a fuse. The fuse burned up to the cap, but fortunate ly there was a defect in the cap. Had an explosion taken place MT. Williams, who was the only occu- pant of the building, would have been instantly killed.

DOUBLY BEREAvRD.
A second Addiction BefaIIs Mrs. Ralph
Speer.

Marshslltown, June 25 During
the funeral services of the late Ralph
Speer, the O., NJ. & st. P. brakeman
who was killed at Ferguson Saturday
morning, telegram received from
Hampton announced the death of
Mrs. Speer's father, j. E. CLARK, a
well known resident of Franklin
county, and for many years lead
ing furniture dealer of Hampton.
Mrs. Speer, who had scarcely been
away from the body of her young
husband since arriving in the city,
was in no state to receive the news
of her fathers death, and was not in
formed until after she reached
Hampton Monday night. Mr.. Clark's
death was not unexpected, however,
as he had been in a critical condition
for days, and i'll for the past few
years, suffering with cancer.
The funeral party to Hampton with
the Speer remains was composed of
twenty-five relatives and friends of
the family. A special car, attached
to the evening train north on the
Central, was furnished by the rail-
road company in respect to the de-
ceased's father, Engineer John M.
Speer.

London, June 25 The 8 p. m. bull
letin said the King had been in

d ,tion and is prepared for the worst.

in the churches, chapels and syna-
gogues to-day. His Majesty main
tains his courage, though largely un-

London, June 25. The Official
O'Clock Bulletin says: His M ajesty

general strength is well maint aimed
and there are no symptoms causing
special anxiety"
Condition Is Critical
London, June 25,-On high author
ity it is learned that the Kings ply
sicians are unable to offer any en-
couragement. His life hangs by a
thread. The tubes described in the

to live long with tubes so placed and
the only hope is to remove the tuoes

them up. Chances for such an oper-
alton being successful are 80 slight

The royal family have been informed
of the real state of the case, that the
possibility of the Kings recovery is
