MRS. EMILY.RUSSELL.

At the hour Of 1:3O "Wednesday morning, when the family were gath. cred about the bedside, sympathizine With the mother and wife in pain fearful in the realization that the end was near at hand yet hopeful unto the last, the spirit of Mrs. Emily Jane Russell took it's flight.
 Though for the past year, the de- ceased had been an invalid, confined to her bed a larger portion of the time, through the pail of death which seemed to hover over, was the star of hope. But in this parting of those we love, there is never complete resigna- ton With those left in grief and to them in this sad hour is extended sympathy most sincere. The hus- band and two children, Mrs. J. O.. Heron and Otto Russell live to feel the vacancy that has been created in their home.
 The deceased's maiden name was Emily Jane Phillips, her birth place Louisville Kentucky, September 9, 1852, making her age at death 50 years, months and 16 days.
 She was married at an early age. in Indianapolis, to Zane Quincy Russell. and with him came to Arkansas in 1886, first locating at Malvern and only eight years ago becoming resi- dents of Newport.
 The funeral services were held at the home at three o'clock Wednesday afternoon, conducted by Rev. G. B. Norton, the burial following at Wal nut Grove Cemetery.
 At tender age the deceased had become a member of the Presbyterian church and her life reflected with credit the faith she had professed.
 Many are the tributes that are paid to her sweet character by those who knew her unselfishness, who remem- Der the pleasure that was hers through acts of kindness, the zeal and earnest ness with which she fulfilled her duty In the relations of mother and wife. Heaven is richer in the souls of such

HOUSE CONCURS IN
 SENATE AMENDMENTS.

Little Rock, Feb. 17.-House bill
 No. 96 (Myers), for the protection of
 mussels during the spawning season,
 was taken up for action on senate | amendments.
 MT. Matheny moved that the house do not concur in the amendment. MT. Myers opposed the motion. He said there was nothing unfair ln the bill. He said protection to the mus sells was necessary and unless given the button factories would have to close. The Business Mems League of Newport has spoken for the bill. The poor man could use tongs and forks for getting out the mussels. Dr. Myers strongly opposed the use of the instrument called the ''crowfoot." :"
 Mr. Bell supported MT. Matheny's motion and declared the bill would prohibit the poor man from engaging in the shell business. Responsibility for draining the rivers of shells lies with the wealthy parties using dredges. He argued that it would be ruinous to the poor people of his sec- tion to pass the bill. In his town. Bradford, the shell business amounted to 1000 in a year. This bill, he said, would destroy the industry.
 MT. Keel, who said he lived in the heart of the pearling region, hoped the house would concur in the senate amendments. He argued in favor of the measure and said it would protect the mussels against exhaustion at the hands of Northern button factories.
 Mir. Matheny in speaking,for his mo- tion and against the bill and amend ments, said the class of people who engage in pearl hunting in Arkansas were those individuals whose whole kit of tools, individually, did not cost over SIP. He would never agree to prohibiting the use of those common utensils employed by the poor people generally in pearling. They were not able to buy costly instruments for pearling.
 On a viva voce vote the senate were concurred in.
 At 4:10 p. m. the house adjourned to 9 a. m. Wednesday.
