Horrible Suicide.

Mrs Ella Webb, living at Barton, about twelve miles from Helena, re- sorted to a horrible mode of suicide in the presence of 13-year-old daughter and 2weeksold baby. She threw herself face downward on a large blazing fire, which she delib- erately prepared in an open fire place. Before assistance could come to the 13-year-old daughter, who endeavored to pull her mother from the fire, the flames had burned out the eyes of the desperate woman and had extended into her lungs. She died before medical aid could reach her. Dependency over her impov- erished condition evidently drove the woman to self-destruction.

Five Convicts Escape.

Five negro convicts escaped from the state camp at England. It seems that the five negroes were at work blowing in a field several miles from the stockade, each one hand ling the lines over one of the states mules One of the negroes stopped blowing to bring the lone guard in charge of the squad drink of water, and the others so managed 1t that they reached the place where the guard was about the same time. As the guard raised the dipped to his mouth the negro who was carrying the water bucket suddenly seized him around the waist and pinioned his arms to his side. The other negroes came quickly to the assist ance of their fellow-convict, and 1t was the work of but few seconds to take the guards revolver and Winchester. One of the negroes kept the guard covered while the others unhitched the five mules from the blows and mounted them. Then the convict who was guarding the guard mounted his mule and quickly joined the others. The names of the escapes and their terms are as follows: Will Dillehay, sent up March Is, 1897, from Lee coun- ty for twenty-one years for murder he escaped shortly after his incarce- ration and was only recaptured last February, in Mississippi, and re- turned to the penitentiary walls; he has a stiff arm, Adam Greer, sent up from Crittenden county Decem- Der 10, 1899, for eight years; he escaped last year at West Memphis, but was recaptured shortly after ward.

Taylor, we'll known resident of that place.

The Cow Came Back.

Pending the indictment by the grand jury of Gus Wells and Sal Patillo, of Pulaski county, held on charge of COW stealing, the animal they were supposed to have stolen returned to the home of her owner. At their preliminary trial the evil dence in the case was purely circum- stantial, but it seemed conclusive. A boy testified that he had seen the men take the COW, and the hide, which it was claimed had been sold, was introduced in court and posi- lively identified as that of the miss ing animal.

Col. Murphy Gives an Opinion

Attorney General Murphy has given the following construction of the county uniformity textbook act:
 Professor J. J. Doyne, Superinten-
 dent of Public Instruction, Little
 Rock, Ark:
 Dear Sir-I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your communication asking my opinion as to whether section ? of the act of the general assembly of this state entitled "An act to provide for county uniformity ill Textbooks" approved March 31, 1899, is in operation in counties wherein there was no vote on the subject of coun- ty uniformity at the various annual district school meetings, to the ex tent of preventing, for one year thereafter in such districts, any change of the school books in use therein. Section 1 of the act en- larges the old law by empowering the electors, assembled in annual school meeting to the number of not less than five, to vote, in addition to other matters determinable by them in that way, on the question of county uniformity ill textbooks; ; and while 1t is true that section 3 says that the ballot of the electors shall, in addition to the name of the person to be voted for as directors and the words 'for tax" and against tax" have printed on it "for county uniformity" or against county uniformity" this does not mean that the electors shall vote upon the question of county uni formity. If they obliterate or erase from the ballot neither the words ''for uniformity" nor against uni formity," it is manifestly that there is no vote upon the question. The same is true if the words ''for uni formity' and against uniformity" are left off the ballots. Hence 1t seems to be within the option of the elector to vote or not to vote upon this question, to exercise or not ex- ercise the power conferred by the "uniformity" act; but, even if this is not within their option, how can it appear, or who has the power to declare, that the vote in given county was against uniformity when there was no vote at all on the sub feet? It is manifest that no one has such power.
 I am therefore of the opinion that the "uniformity" act has no operative force in counties where there was no vote at the last annual school election on the subject of county uniformity and that in such counties the provisions of the old law govern.
 Geo. W. Murphy,
 Attorney General.

NEWS OF ARKANSAS.
Dr. Hooper's Last Report.

Dr. P. o. Hooper, upon his retire ment from the superintendency of the Arkansas State Lunatic Asylum, submitted the following report to July 1, the date his resignation be- came effective:
 To the Honorable Board of Trus-
 tees, State Charitable Institu-
 tions:
 Gentlemen, I respectfully sub nit herewith report of the Arkansas State Lunatic Asylum from Decem- Der 1, 1900, to July 1, 1902, the date of my resignation, including table of movement of population, which will enable my successor to more easily complete the report for the end of the fiscal year, December 1, 1902.
 The following table will show what has been done in the last nine teen months. The number of recov- cries is quite creditable, considering the large number of old, harmless, incurable, helpless people that have been admitted, who should have been cared for at home by relatives or friends, or by the counties if friends were unable to do so Many of these poor people were represent ed as violent and dangerous to the community in which they lived, when at the very time they were so physically feeble that they could not hurt a fly.
 The asylum is always full and the demand for admission is most press ing, and applications for admissions are coming in daily, begging and pleading to take just one more; and no relief can be granted for want ot room.
 It is unfortunate that the pur- poses of hospitals of this kind arc so improperly understood by large proportion of intelligent people. It is too commonly looked upon as a huge poor or aims house or place ol detention for those who are ill theil dotage and sometimes troublesome rather than a place of cure and al deviation of one of the greatest oi misfortunes that can atflict man. kind.
