FATHER AND SON
 DROWNED TOGETHER.
E. w. and John Clark Drowned While Fording a Swollen Stream Above Jack

E. w. and John Clark, two well-to-do raftsmen, who have been engaged in getting out logs above the Black River bridge, were drowned Sunday noon while returning home from Newport, where they had spent Saturday buying provisions.
 In returning they took a differ ent road from that by which they came, going by way of what is known as the Stafford farm. When crossing a swollen creek, the bed of the wagon was foated away, but the three inmates of the wagon managed to hold on for a while. John Clark, one of the sons, was first swept away and drowned and then the father lost his hold. The remaining son managed to reach the bank by clinging to the wagon and inn mediately set about to rescue his kinsman.
 The elder Clark was still alive when recovered an hour later, but only survived about thirty minutes, and the son was found dead. The recovered bodies were buried Monday.

KIRKLAND LIQUORS
 TO BE DESTROYED.
Prohibited Articles May Be Seiz- ed and Burned Under Order Of Court Without
 Jury Trial.

Little Rock, Ark, Jan. 31. The supreme court yesterday de- cided an interesting point in the liquor laws of the state in the case of Kirkland versus state, from Jackson county. Certain liquors and fixtures belonging to Kirkland & Co. were seized in a store in Newport. Newport is what was technically termed a dry town" and the seizure of the liquors, etc., was made by the sheriff under a warrant charging that the liquors were kept for sale in a prohibited dis trict contrary to law.
 The circuit court, on the hear 1 ing of the matter, ordered the sheriff to publicly destroy the articles seized, and the owners appealed to the supreme court. They contend that, under a clause of the statute under which the warrant was issued, providing that the person claiming such liquors, etc, so seized should have a day in court before their destruction should be ordered, they were entitled not only to a hearing upon the question of their intent in keeping the liquor and other questions of fact aris- ing in the case, but to a jury trial thereon.
 The court drew a very clear distinction between the meaning of the clause giving the parties a day in court and the constitu- tional guaranty of trial by jury, holding that in the abatement of public nuisances the legislature may dispense with the trial by jury and still not be denying the parties 'the due process of law" guaranteed by the consti- tuition.
 Another interesting question raised by counsel for the appli- cants was that the proceeding, being criminal in it's nature, the evidence of the unlawful intent must be such as to convince be- yond all reasonable doubt. The court held, however, that the proceeding was one in rem, not involving the possibility of fine or Imprisonment to the violators of the law, and hence not crimi- nal.

CIRCUIT COURT CONFINES.
February Term of Jackson Coun- ty Circuit Court Opened Monday Grand Jury is Charged List of
 Jurors.


 The February term of the Jackson circuit court opened Monday morning with a large attendance of farmers from over the county. All the court off, cers, Judge F. D. Fulkerson, Prosecuting Attorney w. A. Old field and Stenographer J. F. Mar tin of Batesville were present.
 Judge Fulkerson's charge to the grand jury was a forcible deliverance of the courts views upon the demagogic attempts that are often made by un- scrupulous politicians to reflect upon the integrity of courts and was listened to with marked att tention by the members of that body.
 A rather remarkable occurrence is to be noted in the making up of the grand jury from the origi- nal venire selected by the com missioners. This term of court promises to be a short one.
 GRAND AND PETIT JURORS.
 The grand jury is composed of Alcorn Ferguson, foreman; R. M. Johnson, clerk; George Dam- eron, I. D. Price, G. A. Pilquist, Joe Davis, J. F. Rorex, J. F. Bengel, w. N. Nance, Jno. Smith, w. H.

Port Arthur is valuable strategic
point to hold, but most army officers here
do not believe the japanese can obtain
a permanent foothold near the Russian
base. They say it is hardly possible that
the Russians will be caught unprepared
for the most obvious plan of the invaders
"a plan SO obvious, indeed, that there
has been some doubt that the Japanese
would carry out the scheme. Most of
the officers look for the unexpected in the

LEARN SWIMMING ON LAND.
A German School idea Which HIS
Keen Adopted Both in France
and in England.
London (Ens.) Special.


Some ten years ago a well-known
German doctor named Roth startled
the educational authorities in Berlin by
asserting that the proper way to teach
swimming to children was to instruct
them in certain movements and exer-
cises in the Fairgrounds. DR.. Roth's
theory was at first laughed at. The doc
tor, however, stuck to his guns, and to-
day he has the satisfaction of knowing
that the state schools Of France and Ger
many have adopted his system. In Lon
don the school board regards 1t with
great favor, and several schools have in
cluded it, with certain notifications, in
their curriculum.
The London schools which have
adopted DIR. Roth's system have added
an improvement which consists of a
curiously constructed desk on which ad-
vanced pupils are placed. and are able
