One of the remarkable blind women
| Of Washington is Miss Laura Wilson,
! formerly teacher in the public
| schools, who lost her sight several
! years ago. A year before her sight
4 vanished her physicians told Miss WI
son that 1t was inevitable. and she then
determined to employ her remaining
months of enjoyment OF the sense to
the best possible advantage, and to lay
UP q store of treasures for the blind
ness that would be her portion during
che remainder OF her life.
So she did. Play after play of the
great dramatists of all times she com
mitted TO memory, poem after poem
story upon story. She let the fading
| light of her eyes rest upon the MASTER
! pieces of art in painting and sculpture
of every age and cline. She delvec
into the mysteries of science anC
philosophy a retentive mind held al
she cleaned.
Now Miss Wilson is a frequent
speaker at the daily entertainments FOL
the blind. She is a source Of constant
inspiration and encouragement anC
she opens her storehoUse of literary
treasures for the free inspection Of hel
friends. She has solved the secret OF
content and shares IL generously.

DIFFERENT PHASE
 TO THE STORY.
Now Thought Woman Burned at Poplar Bluff Was Foully Dealt With Was Arkan-
 sas Girl.

Nancy Simpson, the woman who was burned in Chicken" Jefferson's resort Tuesday night is dead and Jefferson's wife is locked up in the county jail, ac- cused of her murder, says the Poplar Bluff Citizen-Democrat.
 The Simpson woman died last night. It was known that her recovery was impossible and that her death was only question of time. Her entire body had been singed, and her last hours were filled with untold agony.
 Since the first report of her burning there has been ugly sus- picion afoat as to her taking off, some limiting that there was foul play at the bottom of the catas- trophe.
 The Simpson woman had not been here a great while. Six months ago she was brought here from Jonesboro, Ark, by Jeff Ross, whose girl" she was. She and Ross soon tired of each oth- CTS company and agreed to disa- gree, she taking up with other rivals. She was prominently iden- tifed with the Whitesides shoot ing scrape here some weeks ago.

He went out over one of the routes yesterday morning, and while here made a general inspection of the rural free delivery service operating out from Texarkana. He left over the Iron Mountain for Washington at 4 o'clock this afternoon.

BAD MAN KILLED.

Natchez, Miss, May 26. R. w. Johnson, a section foreman on the Yazoo & Mississippi Valley railroad, was shot and killed at Harriston, twenty five miles northeast of this place, today at 5 o'clock by J. Shively, proprietor of a lunch counter at that place. The men had some words over a trivial matter when Johnson drew a revolver. His weapon failed to work, when Shively opened fire, firing three shots. Two took effect and Johnson fell to the floor dead.
 Johnson is reported as having killed man near Memphis about three years ago and one in Ar kansas ten days ago.

ARK KANSAS MILITIA
 IN BAD CONDITION.
So Says the War Department at Washington = To Modify Regulations for Their
 Benefit.

Washington, May 26. The con- dition of the militia in Arkansas and in Alabama is giving the of- fcials of the war department no small amount of uneasiness. Re- ports from these states indicate that the militia is in anything but a fit condition to go into camp, and that the rules and reg ulations which recently went into effect in connection with the militia in the various states will have to be either temporarily suspended or modified in order to harmonize with the condition in both of these states. In the matter of clothing and equip ments it is said that the militia of the states mentioned is far behind those of other southern and northern states.
 A reporter of the war depart ment is now in Arkansas investi- gating conditions there among the various militia regiments.
 The officials of the war depart ment are unwilling to discuss the matter, but they do not hesitate to state that certain of the new regulations will have to be either modified or dispensed with this year in order to enable the militia of both states to take the field at coming maneuvers.

England, May 26. Yesterday a new barn on the plantation of Joe Coleman, about one mile west of Keo, was destroyed by fire. A great deal of grain, which was stored in the barn, was destroyed, and seven mules were burned to death. The entire loss amounts to nearly S2,000.
