NOWIN TADES DIVORCEC COURT
A WOMAN ASKS FOR INCREASE OF
ALIMONY ON ACCOUNT OF
COAL PRICE.

Having stopped laundries. closed public baths
and threatened to throw out thousands Of garment
workers. the coal famine took ON new activity on
the East side yesterday and invaded the divorce
court. An applicant for legal assistance at the
Legal Aid Society appealed for help in obtaining
Il larger almony. Prior 10 the coal famine she had
been able to get along with the allowance OF the
court. hut even a comparatively generous aHmohy
proved insufficient when coal mounted in price.
Consequently the woman desired proportional In
crease 10 provide coal and gas for her apartment
The Legal Aid Society has not yet taken any ac-
tion in this case the general belief that the
price OF coal has got to drop and the mildness Of
weather at present combine 10 make further pro-
caedings unwise. But there is a general feeling
IN the Broadway office where difficulties in affairs
pertaining to alimony are common enough in the
cases handled there, that only the close of the
strike prevented the necessity OF getting some new
statute regulating the relation of aimony and the
price OF coal.
After some apprehension the University Settle
ment succeeded yesterday in getting hold OF a ton
OF coal for its baths. and thus insuring the
continuance of these. When the coat was brought

Killing ill Searcy County.

The following report of 9 mur- der on the railroad extension work is given by the Marshall Wave:
 The first fatal affray on the new railroad since work began on the grading in Searcy county, oc- cured Thursday evening on the 22nd inst, near camp 4, about three miles above St. Joe, Vance Harrington being the victim and Fonso Cash, of St. Joe, the one who did the shooting.
 Bad feeling had existed be- tween the two men for some time which cuIminated in the tragedy. According to eye-Witnesses, Harrington was resting on pile of cross-t ties, having just eaten his supper, when Cash came along and called Harrington out into the road. A few words were spoken when Cash pulled his gun and commenced shooting at Har- rington. He fired three times, two of the shots taking effect, one in the abdomen and one in the thigh, breaking the thigh bone.
 It is stated that Harrington was unarmed at the time of the shooting.
 The wounded man fingered between life and death until half past twelve o'clock Saturday, when he died in great agony.
 After the shooting Cash re- mained around St. Joe, awaiting the result of Harringt0n's injur- ies, and when Sheriff Watts went oyer Saturday (the day the writ was sworn out) to place him un- der arrest he had disappeared. and up to this time his where ab0uts are unknown.
 The dead man leaves a wife parents and several brothers tC mourn his untimely end. Botf men come from well known anC respected families of Searcy county.

 Soft is the best that the boy and the fruit tree are both leaned the right way at the start, "Tsain up'' a boy or fruit tree the way it ought to grow, ''and when it is old it will not depart therefrom.." And unless an ap- pie tree is leaned to the south west, so as to protect tbs trees from the hot afternoon6 un boers, it never will live to be old enough to bear much fruit.
 Young apple trees should be whitewashed with pure lime be- fore the middle of May to keep beers and insect pests out, Make the wash of pure lime and water, and thin enough to work freely; put on with small brush, by hand.
 Bearing trees should now be sprayed with thin lime water, with a small quantity of Vitriol solution to kill insect pests and keep worms out of fruit.

The Orchard Once More.

Pm asked by a good many, why should apple trees be leaned to the southwest when planted?
 So as to protect the trunk of the tree from the hot afternoon sun.
 Go into any old orchard and you will find the trees dead and decaying on the southwest side. You will also notice that these trees with dead streaks on the southwest sides generally lean toward the northeast. or they've been permitted to form tops to- ward the northeast, leaving the southwest side of the tree expos ed to the hot rays of the after noon sun.
 In pruning, see that the limbs on the northeast are kept cut back and encourage the top on the southwest side of the tree.
 The prevailing winds in the summer, when the tree is grown and forming it's top, are from the southwest. These winds drive the trees and incline the tops to- ward the northeast. So we mus certainly guard against this ten

They believed his case hopeless till he used Electric Bit ters and applied Bucklin 5 Arnica Salve, which treatment entirely cured him. When Electric Bit ters are used to expel bilious, kid- ney and microbe poisons at the same time this salve exerts it's matchless healing power, blood diseases, skin eruptions, ulsers and sores vanish.

 Fas t Fading Away.
 The sun has rarely ever shown upon happier people than now comprise the population of that section of the country so sorely stricken by the drought of last year.
 The season is now far enough advanced so as to dispel all fears of a repetition of the crop failure of last season, and not only that, indications are good enough for one of the most abundant har- vests in many respects that our country has eyer enjoyed.
 The people are duly apprecia- tive the suspicious out look now before them, and consequently much genuine happiness is felt i cFcl y WH01c'
 It takes a crop failure occasion ally to tell the people of this country where they are "at. , The lesson learned by our people on account of the experience of the past year will be highly profitable for many years to come, and the country will be more prosperous in five years from to- day on account of the knowledge gained.
 Although the yield may be abundant, we do not look for a re- establishment of the prices common years gone by. Farm CTS are not going to rush out upon the market with all their surplus products the day of the harvest, but will hold for better prices, ol better still, many will feed their surplus stock and produce some thing that will bring some money into the country.
 The fruit crop, apples especial ly, will not be so large as usual but the quality bids fair to be better, and the increased demand will doubtless more than make uE for the decrease in quantity.
 It is perhaps a good thing tC live in a country where droughts come just often enough to keeE the people mindful of the possi' bilities of their own surroundings It is a desirable experience afte it is over and it's unpleasant eff fleets are forgotten.

 1t is now in order for everybod, to begin to push things along il order to make up for the valuabl time that has been lost during tn , past year.
