O'NEAL CLEARED
 AT WALNUT RIDGE.
Acquittal of Slayer of William Orr of Alicia at Hands of Jury-Newport Attorneys
 Counsel for Defendant.

Walnut Ridge, March 12.- Great interest has been mani fested here in the circuit court, which is in session. Edgar O'Neal, charged with the killing of William Orr at Alicia March 19, and indicted for murder in the second degree, has been on trial for three days.
 Friday night both sides rested and Saturday the eloquent attor- neys pleaded the case to packed court room. s. D. Campbell and Judge M. M. Stuckey were counsel for the defendant. The families of Orr, the dead man, and of O'Neal, the man on trial, were present and sympathy for both sides was very apparent.
 At 8 o'clock in the afternoon the case went to the jury, but it was not until that night an agreement was reached acquit- ting the defendant.

 FREED BY JURY.

Wagoner, I. T., March 1.-The case against Dr. B. E. Black for the murder of Wm. Greer at Mus kogee Jan. l, 1904, went to trial Wednesday morning with about fifty witnesses. There was a rigid prosecution, the case com ing here on a change of venue, for it had been alleged that the defendant could not get justice in his home city. Several able lawyers represented the defense. The case went to the jury this evening. After forty-five min utes a verdict of not guilty was given. Black left with his broth

LETTER TO MIR. I. STEPHENS,
 NEWPORT, ARK.

Dear Sir: A gallon saved is $4 or $5 earned. Devoe saves 2 or 3 gallons in 10. How much is it worth a gallon?
 A gallon saved saves the paint ing, too; and both together cost $4 or $5-$4 where labor is cheap; $5 where labor is dear.
 Our agents in Bridgeport, Conn.,, Hubbell 6 Wade Co.,, tell us: "There are great many workingmen's houses here. They used to paint lead-and-oil and take ten gallons. We have been selling them ten gallons Devoe lead-and-zinc, and have had, in every instance, two gallons re- turned" The proportion is often higher than that; we have known it five in ten; but that is excep- tional.
 This is the explanation: De- voc is ground by machinery, and is ground fine; lead-and-oil is mixed by hand, and isn't ground at all.
 Yours truly,
 F. w. DEVOE 6 Co.,,
 New York and Chicago.

X The Black brothers are all den- lists, and the defendant in this case practiced in Newport for a number1o of years. His acquittal was doubtless due to the remark able confession of his wife, who took upon herself the blame, to save her husbands life.

Strange to relate, Governor Davis has approved the enact ment to prohibit the killing of squirrels for purposes of sale or barter. The heads of the little animal have been used by "Jeffie old boy," to designate the size of the average editors cranium, and with iittfh his known antipathy to the pencil-pushers, it is passing strange that he should seek to protect even dumb animals, he would odiously compare to his critics and detractors.

The en- actment goes to the governor now and there is no doubt but that the bill will meet his approv- al.

Light on Female Diseases.

What used to be called female diseases
by the medical profession is now called
pelvic catarrh. 1t has been found by
experience that catarrhal diseases of the
pelvic organs are the cause of most
cases of female diseases.
DIR. Hartman was among the first Of
Americas greatest physicians to make
this discovery. For forty years he has
been treating diseases peculiar to women
and long ago he reached the conclusion
that a woman entirely free from ca
tarrhal affection of these organs would
not be subject to female diseases. He,
therefore, began using Peruna for these
cases and found it so admirably adapted
to their permanent cure that Peruna has
now become the most famous remedy
for female diseases ever known. Every
where the women are using t and prais-
ing it. Peruna is not a palliative SIM
ply; it cures by removing the cause of
female diseases.
Peruna builds up the nerves and re-
stores the appetite and digestion.
DR.. Hartman has probably cured more
women of female ailments than any
other living physician. He makes these
cures simply by using and recommend
ing PeTuna.

UNIVERSITY ENDOWED
Arizona Gets $500 OF the PhilO S. Ben
nett Estate.

It will be of interest to know that the
University of Arizona has received an
endowment from the famous Milo :.
Bennett estate, even though the
amount is not large, only $500. This
is the estate of which William j.
Bryan was named as executor in the
will and a portion of which was left by
Mr. Bennett for educational purposes,
to be used as Mr.. Bryan should direct.
1t will be remembered that there was
another document left by Mr.. Bennett
in which a s-m was named as a be-
quest to Mr.. Bryan personally and con-
corning which there has yet been no
final decision of the contest instituted
by tie widow.
But of the sum Mr.. Bryan was to
devote to educational purposes $500
was allotted to Arizona and sometime
ago President Babcock of the univer-
sity received a draft for the amount
from Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan, with the eX-
PLANTATION that it was TO be invested OF
held in trust by the university, and the
interest was to be used in the main
flamenco of a scholarship for deserving
girls.
President BabcOck. though having no
fears about the money being tainted,
was not certain that ne had any legal
right to accept the gift and laid the
matter before the attorney general
who has now decided that he may Ie-
gally retain it.

Whisky and Justice.

The counsel for Senator EmmOns, Of
the California legislature, convicted
last week of receiving a bride. moved
for a new trial on the ground that the
Jury could not have been in a DELHI
crative frame of mind at the time of
the finding of the verdict. Counsel had
ascertained that after the vacation of
the jury room by the jury there were
found in it twenty-sevcn bottles which
had evidently contained whisky 1t is
stated, on the other hand that only
two empty bottles were found, and
two physicians were brought forward
to affirm that they had prescribed
whisky for two members of the jury
who were i'll.
But whether two bottles or twenty
seven were consumed by the EmmOns
jury. to those who have followed the
case since charges of bribery in the
California Legislature were made and
since the expulsion of four senators.
it will not appear that the ends of
justice in this case have suffered by
reason of the overinGulgence of the
Jul IllGil III SALOilS uAillF- 1lltGCur tic
distiIlers may claim for their prod
ucts credit for the acumen displayed
by the twelve good men and true.
All will remember the story o.
complaint carried to President Lincoln
in which it was charged that distin-
guished general was consuming i'm
moderate quantities of liquor. Mr..
Lincoln's face lighted with interest in
the disclosures concerning this bibu-
lous general, and he asked if the COM
planning committee was in possession
of the name of the generals favorite
brand, adding that he would like to
forward a barrel of it to the rest of
the Union generals.
The result of the Emmons trial, and
the coupling with it the finding of
those twenty-seven empty bottles
leads to the inevitable conclusion that
there must lately have been drunk a
large quantity of whisky by the jurors
who have been engaged in the Oregon
land fraud cases. Is it not possible
that the failure to enforce laws and to
punish fragrant crime may be traced
to too great abstemiousness on the
part of jurors?

The Plaintiff, China.

The Chinese government, so it is re-
ported from Washington, now hopes to
hale the United States before the
peace tribunal at The Hague upon a
charge of damages. The Chinese be-
neve that they have a precedent for
their plan.
As outlined in the New York Trib-
une," the precedent is this: In 1898
Great Britain filed claims against this
country for losses incurred through
our seizure in Behring sea of certain
Canadian vessels engaged in catching
seals there The ground of these
claims was that we had made the sell
cures under authority of an act of
congress, and that the authority of
acts of congress do not run to Behring
sea. Under judgment of an interna-
tional commission we had to pay s47S,-
Isl in damages.
The case said to be under prepara-
ton at the Chinese legation in Wash
ington is more complicated, but the
reasoning is about the same. In 1868
this country made a treaty with China
treaty. The Burlingame treaty placed
no restrictions upon Chinese emigra-
ton to this country The treaty of
1880 with China placed restrictions
upon the immigration of Chinese la
borers, but did not exclude them alto
gether, and it also guaranteed to Chi
nese laborers in this country all the
most-f favored nation rights and privi-
Ieges. In 1883, however, and under this
treaty, our congress passed a law for
bidding all Chinese Iaborers who had
left this country from returning to it..
China protested against this law at
the time, and on this account it is said
that the Chinese hold this law to be
"a domestic law and not an internal
tional contract" They hold, further, 50
it is reported, that the congressional
act of 1883 made void the treaty of
1880, presumably because the act was
in disregard of the terms of the treaty.
In 1894 a new treaty between this
country and China recognized the
right of both countries to exclude cit
liens or subjects of the other, but this
treaty of 1894 lapsed a year ago, and
all efforts to negotiate a new treaty to
take its place has thus far failed. The
argument ascribed to China upon this
basis is that the treaty of 1850 was
vacated by our disregard of it, and
that the treaty of 1894 has lapsed, and
that therefore the Burlingame treaty

Although the trip to Arizona was

One reason why Peruna has found

it contains no narcotics of any kind.
! Peruna is perfectly harmless. 1t can be
used any length of time without acquir-

duce temporary results. It is perma-
nent in its effect.
/ AS a tonic and nerve invigorator
/ Peruna has no equal.
1t has no bad effect upon the system,
and gradually eliminates catarrh by re-
moving the cause of catarrh. There
are multitude of homes where Peruna
has been used off and on for twenty
years. Such a thing could not be posi-
