Attempted Assassination.

A cowardly attempt was made by some unknown party to assassinate r rusecrtng g-s -Astr'toTnry fl R. |. Rogers as he was driving from Van Buren to his home in the suburbs. The would-be murderer fired several shots at Mr. Rogers at close range. The horse he was driving broke into a run at the first shot and soon car ried MT. Rogers out of range. The news of the attempt to take Mr. Rogers life caused much indigna- tlon among citizens of Van Buren. Recently MT. Rogers has been mak- ing a vigorous fight on a gang of worthless negroes and has succeeded in sending a number of them to the farm, and it is thought the party who attempted to take his life is a friend of the convicted negroes.

Bills IA

The vetoing by
 the eleventh hour of
 passed by the general asss
 calling forth more discussion
 any act ever performed by a O. executive of this state. In a proc lamation Gov. Davis gives as his reason for vetoing these bills that they were not presented to him in proper shape within twenty days following adjournment of the legis- lature. Among the bills presented to the governor, however, was three, which he approved, as follows: The St. Francis levee bond bill, the deaf-mute and Pine Bluff Normal appropriation bills. Some of the best lawyers in the state differ with the governor in his contention that the time limit had expired. These attorneys hold that the twenty-days allowed for enrolling bills, after the legislature adjourns does not in clude Sundays. If this view is cor rect, all the bills were delivered within the required time. Among the list of bills vetoed are many of the most important general acts passed. Another interesting ques- tion involved is the governors right to approve the three bills which he signed if the twenty day limit had really expired. There is no doubt but that the courts will be called upon to decide the matter. This action of the governor, if it stands, will annul large part of the work of the legislature.

Arkansas StN
Teachers, Institutes.

State Superintendent of Public Instruction Hinemon is sending out the following letter of instruc- tions to county examiners and teachers interested regarding the holding of teachers institutes this summer Teachers institutes of ten days duration will be held at Jonesboro, Philadelphia, Morrilton, Monticello and Mena, beginning at 9 o'clock a. m. Wednesday, June 3. The institute will hold sessions each week day. As the time is short, all who expect to attend are requested to come prepared to do full days work on the opening day.
 Immediately after the close of the institutes examinations will be held for state and professional li- censes. These institutes will be paid for out of funds allowed by the Peabody board for this work. The bill appropriating small sup plementary fund, which passed both houses by almost unanimous vote, was destroyed by the governors veto, along with the other eighty two bills, and hence other institutes which had been planned must be abandoned. Professional licenses are good in all parts of the state for a period of six years. Candi- dates for this license are examined in the studies required for a first grade certificate, and also in alge- bra, plane geometry, rhetoric and general history. An institute for colored teachers will be held at Pine Bluff at the same time as the others. William Townsend of the salRRine Bluff colored schools will have chh9ge of arrangements for thls institute.
 There will also be an institute for white teachers at Fayetteville beginning Monday morning June 22, and continuing ten days. This will also be followed by examina- tions for professional and state li- censes. The institute will be con- ducted by Profs. Kuykendall and Reynolds of the State University.
