But the officers are not of the opinionthat McMahel is so green as his confession would imply He acknowledges to writing for the bogus ''coin," enclosing $1o of Uncle Sam's redeemable therefor, but says he was only anxious to get in with the crooks in order to expose them, and thereby secure an appointment in the secret service.

It is declared, however, that in stim- ulating this fad Emperor William was innocent of reconciliation only so far as he was concerned about his astigmatic eye.

Aged Farmer Assassinated.

Swan Anderson, an aged and highly respected citizen of Hemp stead county, residing few miles from Hope, was recently called to his door by some unknown party. and foully murdered. The assassin was so close to his victim that his face was badly powder burned. The weapon used was revolver, and but one bullet took effect, entering the forehead. Mir. Anderson lived alone, and as he had no enemies, the mo- tive for his murder was undoubted- ly robbery. Harry Bradley, colored tenant on his place, was taken into custody, suspected of the crime.

Hall Malone Hanged.

Hall Malone, the negro who pleaded guilty to assault, was hang ed at Van Buren on the Eth inst. Malone committed an assault on Mrs. Rebecca Mcleod at her home six miles from Van Buren on Sep tember last. The execution was public, in conformity to an act of the last general assembly. Malone showed a stolid and ignorant indif- ference to the last, expressing no regret or remorse. The crime for which he forfeited his life under the law was heinous, one that only such a character could commit, and it is doubtful if he realized the pen alty exacted. Shortly after the crime was committed, the guilty man was apprehended and made a full confession. At first it seemed that lynching could not be avert ed, but the officers pledged the peo- pie that speedy trlal should be had. Malone was arraigned in a few days and entered a plea of guilty, when the death penalty was assessed by the trial judge. The question then arose over the legal ity of the sentence being carried out, Gov. Davis taking the view that defendant, upon a plea of guilty before the court sitting as a jury, could not be given the death penalty. The governor stated, how ever, he would not interfere with the execution of the law, but sug- gested that the supreme court be allowed to pass upon the case, and ordered the condemned man placed in the state penitentiary, where he remained until a few days before his execution.

Murderer Still at Large.

The fiend who murdered Miss Florence Shillcut near Little Rock, has not been captured. Several ne gro suspects taken into custody shortly after the awful crime was committed have been released, there being no evidence of their guilt. Some adhere to the theory that a white man committed the crime, from the fact that no assault was committed and other peculiar cir cumstances surrounding the murder The many wounds found on the body of the girl were apparently inflicted with a penknife, there be-
 ing no less than a half dozen stabs over the heart, none of them, how ever, deep enough to prove fatal. The wounds that proved fatal, though, were inflicted with the same weapon, but were on either side of the throat, one stab penetrating in- to the jugular vein. The murder is one of the most mysterious that ever occurred in the state. Miss Shillcutt, who was but 19 years of age, was reared only short dis tance from the spot where she was killed, and was a most highly respected young lady. The murder CT could have had but one object that of criminal assault, and the fend in the guise of human being, baffled by the heroic resistance oi the girl, may have committed the awful murder with the object o1 shielding himself from identity.

Col. Hills Recommendation.

In his annual report to the gov ernor Hon. Frank Hill, who has just retired from office, makes the following recommendations for the management of the worlds fair ex- hibit: '1 recommend that appro- priation be made for suitable ex- hibit of the state products at the centennial exposition at St. Louis in 1904, commemorating the pur- chase of the Louisiana territory. This will be, in my opinion, the most effective advertising medium that has ever been offered to place the state in its true position before the world. A liberal appropriation for this purpose would, in my judg- ment, be one of the most profitable investments the state could make at this time In my judgment, the disbursement of such appropriation should be placed in the hands of the agricultural bureau, and the entire management of the exhibits should be placed in the hands of the com missioner of mines, manufactures and agriculture, who, under our statutes, is already paid for such service without encroaching on the appropriation"

among the vast bituminous coal re-
gions of West Virginia, southwestern
Virginia, southeastern Kentucky. and
eastern Tennessee, have revealed
deposits of high grade cooking coal that
would seem to be ample to supply the
blast furnaces of the world for centu-
ries to come. II is only a question of
building railroads, opening mines, and
constructing coke ovens.
Not all good bituminous coal will
make coke. Indeed. in all the great
fields of Ohio Indiana, Illinois, Mis-
souri,, and important coal sections of
Tennessee and Kentucky, there has not
been found an acre of colSin5 coal.
Draw a circle around the Connellsville
section in Pennsylvania including the
so-called Mountain" operations adj
jacent on the east: another around the
section where Virginia, West Virginia.
kentucky and Tennessee meet; another
around the Warrior coal field in Ala
bama, and q fourth around newly de-
veloped district in Colorado and Utah,
and you have all the known sources of
fuel supply for iron and steel making
in the United States. 1t Is true that
anthracite coal is still used in connec-
ton with coke, in the blast furnaces of
eastern Pennsylvania, but it is small
and diminishing factor. The circles
above indicated, however, embrace de-
posts so reliable and so extensive that
a. rate of consumption many times
greater than the present could go on
for generations without raising the first
question of exhaustion.
