 in Southeast Arkansas

Pine Bluff, Ark, Oct. News reached this city early this morn ing to the effect that Sheriff 5. A. Meroney committed suicide at his home, in Star City, last night about 7:3O o'clock. While 1t IS said every indication points to the conclusion that Sheriff Meroney took his own life, he has many friends who discredit the account as given out.
 Sheriff Meroney had finished his day work and had gone home early in the evening. About : O. clock, he sat in the room with his wife, he suddenly got up and went into the kitchen. Mrs. Meroney next heard a pistol shot and, rush ing into the room, found her hus- band weltering in pool of blood. No one saw him commit the act, but pistol laying near pointed to suicide. He was shot through the heart.
 B. A. Meroney was one of the most popular men in southeast Arkansas. He had been sheriff of Lincoln county for eight years and was very popular in the coun- ty. He was recently elected cir cult and county clerk of Lincoln county and was to take that office October 31.

 JUST PLAIN DAVE KING. :"
 Hon. James MacMullan of Min neappolis, Minn., who was super intendent of exhibits at the Pan American Exposition at Buffalo, N. 4., in 1901, a member of the international jury of awards, re- ports one of the pleasant incidents in connection with the jury work at the fair, which took place in the closing days of their work. Sen ator David l.. King of Arkansas. who is chairman of section A n department jury, presented the entire jury, when in committee of the whole, with basket of Arkan- sas apples, and in presenting the apples Senator King spoke to the department in felicitous words laudatory of Arkansas. After a round of applause, on motion, the department jury conferred an hon. orary degree upon Senator King with the title of The Prince of Good Fellows.
 Senator King was unanimously chosen as the speaker to give the parting address to the department jury as they met for the last time around the festive board at ban quet given to them by the exhibi tors in the jury room on October first. His apt ways and dry hum or brought out so many thoughts of kindness and good will that his address was greeted with long app plause. At it's conclusion all rose and drank to the health of just plain Dave King of Arkansas"

fevers of the tropics tempt, and the
emotions of the lion tanner allure. In
fact, there are endless possibilities OF
ones making a fool of himself at no
risk whatever but his own life. The
love of adventure which leads directly
to the purse of the passer-by really Is
something else. In actual life the
Jekyll and Hyde business brings the
worthy Jekyll to the Hyde level, and
there he must abide.
However. the Chicago eccentric
need not be without comfort. The
penitentiary affords wide scope to the
adventurous spirit. There is the op-
portunity Of digging, with a broom

ing a saw from a tin cup. Let him
think of the pleasing sensation of
scaling some height while in the rear
a guard pumps bullets at him. That
is adventure. all right.

The Master Builder.

Few signs of the times are as
bright as the genuine reform in prog
ress in the building and furnishing of
our American homes. That Outra-
geous hodgepodge of turret. lightning
rod, stucco ornament, and yellow
paint which has long disfgured our
suburbs is giving way 10 an architee-
ture distinctively American and full
OF artistic promise. Glued carvings,
piano finish" tapestry cheniIllo, and
bric-a-brae are making way for simple
furniture, well and substantially
made, and-we may add without SUI
pererogation-well charged for.
In one Of its aspects, though. this
reform is beyond the focus of the
average eye. The new house is vastly
better built than its predecessor.
Every man who reads The Times
lives in a house Of some sort. Most
Of them can feel the chill blasts of
stern winter every time they pass a
WlHdOW. A Few VIII try 10 stop up
the chinks, but the greater number
will bless the builder and be content
with shoyeling more coal in the fur
mace.
With the new builder all this is to
be changed. Having nothing about a
house which is not all it seems to be
means not only no veneer or applied
carvings, but no riprap windows.
warped doors, or gaping elapboards.
And his tenant shall rise TO call
him blessed and his workmen rejoice
IN his work. For in these days he
that buildeth strong and tightly. the
same is greater than he that stitch
on the throne OF the mine owner.

Cadets From Alaska
May Go to Academies
Senator Perkins introduces Bill Extending
Privilege TO Northern Territory--lnterest
of Women in the Smoot Case.

Cadets from Alaska TO the West Point
and Annapolis Academies are the new
est thiEgs in army and navy circles, in
consequence OF q bill introduced IN the
Senate by Mr. Perkins OF California. He
Is one OF the Senators who believe in
helping the people OF the northernmost
Territory Of this Government in every
possible way. to put them on an equal
footing with the people OF the States.
The only requirement attached is two
years bona fide residence there ''imme-
diately prior to appointment.
An interesting fact In connection with
the bin Is the fact that under its
phraseology it Is not distinctly stated
that the cadets shall be American born.
There Is TO be a new West Pointer
merely "in addition 10 the corps OF
cadets now authorized by law" The
thought that an Eskimo or fuil-blooded
Indian might get the appointment is not
feared. however. for the selection OF the
fortunate youth Is vested in the Presi-
dent of the United States.

There is snow on the ground-as

very near al hand. Yet the citizens
OF the Northeast must not think win

this remonstrance fully ripe The
District Commissioners have agreed
10 the present delay Of the work and
approved the present guards" against

east are not on the sharp lookout they
will be liable for modified Iese majes-

but they must not begin too soon.
Every day work is continued on
any building in Washington, work
men should be employed on the al
teration of H Street until it is in
thorough order. This is so manifest
that many citizens regard the COM

with the railroad constructing COM
panies as a grievous mistake.
That may very well be. But
whether it is or not, it is undoubted
that 2 grieyous and costly mistake

companies were allowed to fall so far
behind that their work in H Street
was not finished before winter set in.
This was the real error. AMI if the
