ROPE TREATMENT
 FOR RAPE HABIT.
Elisha Davis Hanged at Pine Bluff Saturday in Presence of Five Thousand Gu
 rious Spectators.

Pine Bluff, June 26. Elisha Davis, the negro who was con- victed of criminal assault upon little Katie Ross near Kearney on May 9, paid the extreme pen- atty for his crime by forfeiting his life on the gallows at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon.
 Sheriff James Gould sprang the trap at exactly 2 o'clock and the attending physicians pronounced the negro dead at 2:1O. The ne- gro met death with the same stoicism that has characterized his actions since he was appre- hended and placed in jail. He walked up the steps of the gal lows with a firm step and even went so far as to assist the offi- cers in adjusting the straps.
 Although he was given an op- portunity to say 8 few words be- fore he was hung, he refused and never uttered 8 sound on the galloWs.
 The execution took place ill the poor house yard about three miles from the city, and was witnessed by about 5000 people, most of whom were white.

MAY COME TO ARKANSAS

Missouri farmers are being worked by one of the meanest tricks now on the pike. As this shrewd plan is likely to work its way over into Arkansas the aw- full details are worth printing.
 In the first act of the tragedy a stranger appears on the road near the farm house, diligently searching for a lost diamond ring. As he does not find it, he offers $1OO for it's recovery. He goes away without finding the ring and shortly after tramp picks up a ring. The farmer, who is to be the victim, offers the tramp 1925 for the ring, ex- pecting to get $100 reward. The tramp hesitates, but finally ac- cepts 1t and leaves. When the f. f. mer cannot find the stranger he grows suspicious and has a jeweler examine the ring, and as may be guessed it is not a dia- mond at all, but a cheap article worth about 15 cents.

LITTLE SAMUEL PHILLIPS.

Word was received here Sun- day evening, announcing the death of little Samuel Robinson Phillips, at 6:30 that evening, aged IT months and three days, at the home of his grandfather, Col. Robert Neill, in Batesville, swhither his parents had taken him about a month ago.
 The little fellow had been sick for eleven weeks and his life had been despaired of several times. ! The remains will be brought to Newport tonight and funeral services will be held at the resi- dence at 9:30 o'clock tomorrow morning, conducted by Rev. c. Pope. Burial at Walnut Grove cemetery.
 Taken in his childish innocence and purity, if there be degrees in heaven, surely to him will come place preferred.

VISIT TO AN OLD
 SOUTHERN HOME Recalls to Memory Many Pleas ant Recollections of the Good Old Sunny Southland of
 the Long Ago.

My visit last week to an old Southern home at Auvergne will ever be one of the greenest spots in my memory. 1 say old South ern home because in this day and time they have become sadly fewer, and what pity.
 1 would that our land were dotted over with just such re- minders of paradise. There the mother was not only queen, but the almost spoiled and petted child of the house and of loving daughters. Her advice and coun- sel stood for something in that happy home, and the old vet eran's God bless him) command was law. There were no smart alecs" in this home to look wise and question his judgment or doubt his ability of ruling, for they we'll knew and appreciated this man of worth, whose every action was worthy of imitation.
 The noblest work of God is man. Iaccept that, but will in- sist that the nearest assimilation to an angel is loving daughter, of which this dear old veteran, Dr. Clements, has three, or did have until, as in the garden of Eden, three lonely Adams under the names of Conner, Hare and Bleakley roamed in discontent and uneasiness all around until the oldest, beautiful Lois, yielded and confessed to the father that she was "cornered." The next, the pet and pride of the home, came in thoughtful anxiety, say ing, dear father, my life is hanging on a Hare." What could the father do or say? The next and last was Annie, the stay of. the home, the prop of all, the last hope, became sick of home cares, saying, father l do not want my part of the estate; keep and use your honest made money for mothers enjoyment and benefit. 1 am going to re- tire, and Indian girl like, sit in contentment and listen to the sweet music and murmurings of my own Forrest.
 My visit to this home has awakened love for it's inmates that has existed for years, and those dear young ladies l met, l will always love and cherish their names and memory.

MENA AROUSED
 BY PROHIBITIONIsTs.
Prosecution of Blind Tigers Brings on Bitter Feeling in Arkansas Town and End
 is Not in Sight.

Mena, June 26. There have been disturbances, fist fights, ex- cited talk and police and justice court trials here all the last week over the attempt of James Eari, backed by the prohibitionists of .the city, to break up the alleged blind tigers by detective work. Earl is a brother-in-law of Rev. H. S. Lumley of his city and came here a few days ago. He is a carpenter and has been working at his trade here. The prohibitionists have been active since the meeting held some weeks ago by a temperance agl- tator, J. G. Adams.
 Earl, acting for the temperance people, is alleged to have under taken to get evidence against the tigers by buying whisky from them and then informing the officers and having the offenders arrested. Then 1t is claimed he would testify against them.
 The first, defendant, Joe Low, was found guilty and fined $1CO; the next, Joe Camden, was &C., quilted, as the prosecuting Wit ness failed to identify him.
 Before the third case could come up the tiger people went after Earl hot-footed. Earl went home, secured a revolver and sallied forth. He was then ar rested for carrying deadly weap- ons.
 Several of the tiger people were arraigned before Justice Smith and peace bond required. Two or three fist fights occurred at this trial. Another trial was held yesterday and the cases all postponed to Monday.
 The county voted dry at the last election and there is strong feeling on both sides. It is al- legged that there are fourteen places selling intoxicants here under government license.
 Most of the preachers and half of the church people of the city are on the temperance battle line. The large majority of the business men are not taking either side. The police force is taking every precaution to avert the threatened clash of the fac tiOrS.

RADIUM WAS DISCOVERED
Progress Made in the Naviga-

at the request of the New York World

physicist and his wife the world is in
debted for the most important scientific
achievement of the year-the determine

be the scientific sensation of our time.
