SENATOR BERRY
 SPENDS NIGHT HERE.

United States Senator James H. Berry of Bentonville, and one of the grandest old men in that highest leg islative branch of our government, came up from Little Rock Monday night, leaving next morning on the White River branch passenger for Melbourne, where he is to deliver an address to the ex-Confederates in re- union there assembled. Senator Berry had twelve mile drive before him over the hills and rocks of Izard county, but as his campaigns date back to those years when this was about the only method of travel, no thought of this long jolt was apparent upon his good natured and even tempered countenance.
 The Senator wanted to know more about crops than the campaign in this section and expressed himself as highly gratifed that conditions and prospects for large yield of cotton and corn were so greatly improved. When told that the candidates for governor were to speak here Thurs day night, he only smiled. State Treasurer H. 0. Tipton accompanied him upon this trip.

JOHNSON PARDON
 FIGURES IN CAMPAIGN.
Vandeventer Arraigning Davis for His Connection With Eureka Springs Attorneys Hold-Up of Their
 Client.

Little Rock, Aug. 3.-The manner in which Dr. Lee Johnson of Sebastian county was given his liberty after serving two years of a sentence of seven years in the penitentiary, has become an issue in the gubernatorial campaign. It has already been told in the public prints that the pardon was granted by the governor and the document forwarded by him to Dr. Johnson's attorneys, James and Fuller, at Eureka Springs. The pardon was not turned over to the beneficiary uf1- til Dr. Johnson deeded to the Eureka Springs law firm property said to be worth $400 in compliance with the demands of the firm.
 Hon. A. F. Vandeventer, one of the candidates for governor, is making use of the incident in his speeches.
 Yesterday it was ascertained that Governor Davis will produce in his speech at Cotton Plant today an affi- davit sworn to by Representative O.. A. Fuller of the law firm of James x Fuller. MT. Fuller ayers that Dr. Johnson importuned him to apply for pardon, and that the governor promised to exercise clemency in the case if he were furnished with cerA tificate from the penitentiary phy- sician, Dr. c. E. Witt, showing that Johnson's health was failing and he could not live out his sentence, and that pardon was necessary in order l to save his life. MT. Fuller alleges in the affidavit that Dr. Witt refused to issue the certificate because he (Ful- ler) twas voting against the peniten- tiary interests." Mir. Fuller says, further, that he never disclosed to the governor that he was getting any fee for the pardon.
 The Johnson pardon promises to become an important question in the campaign, and it is likely that the Fuller affidavit will be followed by other statements bearing upon the subject.
 Dr. c. E. Witt, penitentiary phy- sician, when asked for a statement in regard to the Fuller affidavit, declared that he refused to give a certificate showing that Dr. Johnson was in poor health solely on the ground that John- sons health was not bad. Dr. Witt further declares positively that he did not refuse to grant the certificate be- cause he (Fuller) twas voting against the penitentiary interests"

PANTHER ON TRAIL
 OF TWO YOUNG GIRLS.

Maudie Hancock, an 11year- old daughter of J. w. Hancock, who lives five miles west of the city near Big Creek, and Ethel Logan, a girl of about the same age, had very mar row escape from a panther last week. They left MT. Hancock's home and went down to the creek, about half a mile, and after wading in the water awhile, started on their return home. They hadn't gone far till they saw something which they thought was a large yellow dog with it's head down, about 100 yards away, trailing along the path which they had taken on their way to the creek. Thinking it was dog, they called to it, when, raising it's head, it ran towards them, but on coming to log in the path di- rectly in front of them, stopped and reared back on it's hind feet and stood in that position, looking at them. They were too frightened to run or move, but stood and looked at the panther a moment when it screamed and turned around and ran off in the woods. .-Jonesboro Times.

ATTEMPT TO LOOT
 COUNTY REPOSITORIES.

Helena, Aug. 3.-A damaging effort was made Saturday night by burglars to enter and burglarize two vaults and one safe at the county court house in this city. The fact that none of the county offices were opened yesterday delayed the discovery of the attempt ed robbery until this morning. In all three attempts the efforts of the bur glars were unsuccessful, as they only damaged the safe door and broke off the combination knob. They also damaged the vaults considerably. Had their effort been successful, they would not have been paid fer their trouble, as the officials do not keep any money in these offices on account of the secluded location of the court house. No clue to the identity of the would-be burglars is obtainable, but it is evident that they were amateurs in the business.
