Someone has suggested ex Sen. ator James K. Jones as a suita- ble candidate for Governor ot Arkansas. It is extremely doubt ful about Senator Jones allow ing himself used for such pur- pose. He has had higher honors
 than the Governorship; and the salary of the office would be no inducement. whatever. for him.

THE GOVERNORS VETO.

That Governor Davis has no faith in his own contentious that the left over bills died Wednes- day, May 20, IS proven by the fact that he approved three of the same bills Saturday, three days after the time he claims they had expired by limita ton, and that he vetoed the remain der.
 Now, 1.-the bills he vetoed were really dead, as he claims, at noon of the 20th of May, his veto was useless, and if dead howeould his signature bring to l life the bill for the support of the Deaf Mute Institute, the bill for the support of the Pine Bluff Normal and the bill authorizing the issue of bonds by the St. Francis levee board, which had also expired May 20 but which he approved three days later?
 The Governor contends that the bills were never presented to him, as the constitution pro- vides they shall be presented, but this is untrue. The clerk of the house holds the receipt of the Cows private See'v. for every bill in his possession on the II of May. The bills were sent to the Governor at his own request and he kept them as long as he de sired, retaining. when he return them few that he approved.
 He can not complain that the bills were not officially presented to him.
 The Governors acts are not consistent with his words. In one breath he condemns the pills as dead, then with one stroke of his pen he resurrectS and kills them again, ar he imagines, or pretends to imagine.
 The underlying motive of the Governor in this matter is to discredit the legislature and in- suit the enrolling committee and clerks and the presiding officers of both houses. The veto inti- mates in the broadest language that 1t was the intention of these persons to needlesslv remain at Little Rock sixty days longer for the purpose of increasing their emoluments. This is an uncall- ed for islander upon President Short, Speaker Moore and the gentlemen and ladies who com pose the committees. There IS no ground whatever for such an insult.
 The longer the people of the state study the reasons given by the Governor for the wholesale 1 veto, the stranger will his real motives appear-Ft. Smith Ele- vator

OF SUPPOSED CRIMINALS ARRESTED

PERRY. Ia, Jan. I1-(special Telegram.)
Harry Pattee. teller OF the First National
bank. on returning from the calico ball, a
big social function, at 2 o'clock this morn
ing. was shot in the right breast just be-
low the nipple by two men who we're steal
ing meat which hung on the back porch OF
his fathers house. He had undTessed and
was ready for bed when he heard a noise
and on going to the back door saw the men
and grappled with one OF them. who shot
him and ran away. He got back into the
house and called for help. His father and
two sisters were aroused and called Drs.
Trout and Ross. The wound bled freely, but
they could not locate the ball. Harry rested
easily during the day. but tonight is worse
and IL is feared will not rally again. To-
morrow, II we'll enough, X rays are to be
used to locate the bullet.
Marshal Riser telephoned to Knoxville
for bloodhounds. which arrived at 9:15 over
the Rock Island and we're Immediately put
on the trail. They followed II to the old
pesthouse, now occupied by Steve Crandall,
a fellcw-about-town, who is on parole from
Jail for stealing a hog some time ago. He
had gone down Town and given himself up
to be taken to Abel to JAIN to serve out his
sentence. He was locked Up and the hounds
put on the trail for the other man. They
tracked him through a barn and there lost
the trail. He is supposed to have taken a
horse and left town.
Talk Of lynching has been rife all day
and the officers decided to take Crandall to
Abel to Jail at I this evening. A mob Of
several hundred got together and tried to
get the prisoner way from the officers.
Clubs and fists we're freely used, a rope
was passed through the crowd and was put
over C%randalrs head. but the officers got ii
off again. Someone hit him In the face with a
club and broke his nose. After drawing
revoIvers and threatening the crowd the
officers managed to get Crandall on the
o'clock train for Abel. The disgrace Of a
lynching was narrowly averted. The other
man Is still at large, but 1t is expected he
will be arrested in a day or so.
DES MONIES, Ia. Jan. 17.-(Special Tele-
Rram.)-Governor Cummins was this even
ing notified by the captain of the militia
company at Perry that he had already
called out his company to patrol the city

last night of Harry Pattee. The governor
had not been asked to call out the mil.
tia and the action Of the Perry captain
was unauthorized, but the governor said he
would make no objection to the militia

At $3.50 o'clock yesterday evening Arch
Harvey, excited and short OF breath, ap-
peared in the police station and after hold
ing onto a door casing until ne caught up
with his breath, said:
"Deys a man been cuttin' a gall up jes
now. Over at 'Leventh street. He's cut
tin her now!"
The six or seven officers in the rooms
rushed for overcoats and clubs and started
on a run with Arch, who was so excited
that he could not say where the murder
was being done.
Up some dark stairs, over the hand laun-
dry of H.. Slaughter at POS North Eleventh
street, they found the girl who had been
carved, a broken tumbler and some colored
folks. The girl had an inch and a half long
cut on her shoulder. The man had escaped.
The woman was Hattie Walker; the man,
Burrell Handy, with whom she had been
living since she came to Omaha. She had
been to the police station early in the even
ing to protest against Burrell, who had
been beating her for weeks. Hattie has
been working for Mrs. Slaughter, who feeds
boarders. Handy eats these meals. He Is
employed by the Swift packing house in
South Omaha and is a handy mar in the
sheep killing department.
II seems that yesterday evening he
started for the Slaughter house, that is
the land laundry. with the idea Of eating
another meal and doing for Hattie. Treat.
ing her professionally as a sheep. he started
in handily with a good sized knife, but was
bothered by Arch and others. About hall
an hour after the first alarm, Handy re-
turned TO finish the work. saying: II SURF
will kill that wench tonight" The police
were again called.

the release Of the 2s5 Oklahoma eonyicts
whc are confined under contract in the
Kansas state penitentiary at Lansing, Kan.
AS a first step in carrying out his contract
he appeared in she state supreme court
here today 10 argue for ths issue OF a writ
Of habess corpus for /. N. T%errill, one OF
the Oklahoma prisoners. Terrill is in
prison for murder. He is seeking release
on the ground that the Oklahoma contract
for the care OF cOnvicts at Lansing is in
valid. He Is a lawyer himself and insisted
on arguing his own case, but Ashby ap-
peared also, as a friend OF the court" The
court took the matter under Amusement.

granted, which will open the way for Ashby
TO secure the release OF every one OF the
Oklahoma convicts. Oklahoma is expecting
such a decision and is planning to rush all
It's c~onvicts back 10 Oklahoma by special
train as soon as IL Is found necessary.
Ashby notified Governor Bailey Of this In,

steps TO prevent so summary a proceeding,
which would shut Ashby out. The gov,
ernor promised 10 investigate the matter.
