KITCHENER
CABLES PEACE

LONDON, June IAN official cable
gram from Lord Kitchener, dated Pre-
tOria, Saturday, May 81, HIS p. M,
says
"A document containing terms of
surrender was signed here this even
ing at 1920 o'clock by all the Boer
representatives, as well as Lord Mil
ner (the British High Commissioner
in South Africa and myself"
The Cabinet will meet in the morn
ing and will probably discuss the
wording of the statement to be made
by Mr.. Balfour the Government lead
err in the House of Commons. This
statement is eagerly awaited, as it is
understood Mr.. BalfOur will enlighten
his hearers as to the conditions upon
which the Beers surrendered. On this
important point no further infOrma-
ton has been forthcoming than the in
teligent anticipatiOns with which the
papers have been filled for the past
week.
Cabling from Pretoria, the Daily
Mail correspondent after announcing
the signing of terms of surrender, says
the British authorities absolutely re-
iected the suggestions of the Boer del
egates that the terms of surrender
should be ratified by Mr.. Kreuger and
declared that the Beers in Europe had
no hand in the settlement. The terms
will show" continues the correspon-
dent, that the British Government
carried it's contentious on every vital
point, while the minor concessions,
particularly those in regard to the
generous financial treatment, will
greatly appeal to the Beers in general.
The value of Lord Kitchener's person.
ality as a factor in the conclusion of
peace can never be OVerestimated.
There is no doubt that peace will be
popular among the Beers"

Sad Death of a Child.

Mildred, the little daughter of MT. and Mrs. Chas, Sturgeon, of Little Rock, was fatally burned while playing alone in the yard. It is supposed the child was striking matches when her dress became ig- nited. The little one rushed into the room where her mother lay ill in bed, enveloped in flames. Mrs. Sturgeon leaped from the bed and succeeded in smothering the flames, then fell to the floor in faint, When neighbors arrived the moth CT and child were laying side by side unconscious. The little one died af- ter lingering in great misery for several hours, and it is feared the terrible shock will prove fatal to the mother.

Some Census Statistics.

The United States census for Ar kansas says:
 The value of animal products in 1899 was $20,377,278, or 30.8 per cent of the gross farm income. Of the above amount, 42.6 per cent represents the value of animals sold and animals slaughtered on farms; 33.9 per cent, that of dairy produce; 22.1 per cent, that of poultry and eggs, and IA per cent, that of wool, mohair, honey and wax.
 The production of milk in 1899 was 55,535,7 ,720 gallons greater than in 1889, an increase of over one hum dred per cent. The quantity of but ter made on farms, however, in- creased but 37.3 per cent, and that of cheese decreased 13.8 per cent, in dicating that the making of butter and cheese is being gradually trans ferred from the farm to the cream cry and cheese factory.
 Of the $6,912,459 given as the value of all dairy products in 1899, $5,886,128, or 84.9 per cent, repre- sents the value of such products con- sumed on farms, and $1, ,046,331, or 15.1 per cent, the amount realized from sales. Of the latter sum, $596,185 was derived from the sale of 3,797,6 ,646 pounds of butter; $443,- 156, from 1, 4,239,852 gallons of milk ; $4,941, from COOS gallons of cream, and $S49, from 8,032 pounds of cheese.
 The total value of the poultry products of 1899 was $4,508, l43, of which SLY per cent represents the value of eggs and 48.3 per cent that of poultry raised Of the farmers of the state 156,922, or SIS per cent, reported poultry in 1900. The average return per farm was $14.84 for eggs and $13.89 for poultry. The number of eggs produced has practically doubled during each de cade since 1879. In that year the production was 6,610,05O dozens in 1889, 13,371,9 ,909, and in 1899 25, ,694, ,860.
 Although sos per cent fewer sheep were reported in 1900 than in 1890, an increase of 24,2 per cent is shown in the quantity of wool produced. This is the result of a marked improvement in the grade o1 sheep kept, and consequent in crease in the average weight oi feeces. In 1880 the average weight was 2.3 pounds; in 1890, 2.4 pounds. and in 1900, 3.3 pounds.

Life Prisoner Pardoned.

Byrd Walker, serving life term for murder, was last week pardoned by Gov. Davis. Walker was con- victed of killing Andrew Burns in Logan county in 1899, the trial talk ing place in Franklin county on change of venue. He was sentenced to be hanged. An appeal was talk en to the supreme court, and the verdict of the trial court affirmed. An appeal was then made to Gov. Jones, who commuted his sentence to life imprisonment There were no eye-witnesses to the killing, but the dead man was unarmed and the circumstances were sufficient to convince the jury that it was a case demanding the extreme penalty. Walker and his friends always con- tended that Burns had threatened his life, and that he was of opinion when he killed him that his own life was in danger.

NEWS OF ARKANSAS.
His Only Chance a Pardon.

The supreme court recently passed upon very interesting and peculiar case. One Brady was convicted on twenty indictments for illegal sales of liquor at Jonesboro, and fined in various amounts, making total for fines and costs of about $500. Pc
 ing unable to pay these fines, Brady was sent to the county farm to work them out at 75 cents per day. At this rate his term of imprisonment for twenty days of illegal liquor sell ing amounts to something over twelve years. The law governing H. legal sales of liquor makes each day separate offense, and the twenty Indictments were merely for twenty .days' sales. A writ of habeas cor pus was sought from the Craighead circuit court. Various grounds Ewere alleged by counsel, but the pc titiop was denied and the case came to the supreme court on certiorari. The main contention relied upon in the supreme court was that the judgments assessing the fines and providing for imprisonment unless paid, since it was not specified in any of them when the imprison- ment hereunder should begin, took effect concurrently, and that when the longest of them was served out, the prisoner was entitled to his re- lease. The supreme court, however, took the view that the imprisonment
 in such case was not d part of the punishment, but a mere means ot
 collecting the fine, therefore, unless
 Brady is granted pardon he will
 have to serve about twelve years.

We'll Planned Escape.

Chas. Etu, white, sent up from Garland county for twenty-one years, escaped from the penitentiary brick yard at Little Rock through a cum ningly devised scheme. Etu, with some others, was loading a car of lumber. The lumber was in three lengths, twelve, fourteen and six teen feet. Etu managed to have this car loaded so that the twelve foot lengths were on the bottom and the fourteen-foot and sixteen-foot lengths on top. This left consid- erable space between the floor of the car and the roof. It Is supposed that Etu, when the car was about half full, crawled down into the nest he had prepared. The car when loaded was switched off on siding, where he changed his suit of stripes for that of citizens clothes and walked off unmolested. Etu, with J, A. James, was convicted of robblng a visitor at Hot Springs, then tying his hands and feet and attempting to throw his body under moving train.

History of Hot Springs.

An elaborate history of the Ar kansas Hot Springs is now in pro- cess of being printed, and will soon be issued as an official document. The book will contain about 300 pages, and will be profusely illus trated. It will contain the geolog- ical history, with the origin and source of the waters, their medicinal efficiency and the results of analyses recently made by the bureau of chemistry of the department of ag- riculture. The report was recently sent out that the analyses made by the department of agriculture failed to disclose any medicinal properties in the waters of the springs. This report is unfounded. The forth coming volume will be illustrated with photographs of the springs, taken at different periods in the last fifty years.

issues of 1902 sent free from the time of
subscription to every new subscriber
who at once sends $1.75 for The Com

THE Presidency was written no one
could have forseen or dreamed even that
its author would so soon be called upon
to take up the duties CT the great office.
For this reason alone what MIR. Roose-

interest, and will be eagerly awaited by
persons of all shades of political opinion.
