We had seemed wandering out

people to obtain statehood. They

merciful will be the operation. So

through another travail. The selfish

largely escape consequences, for they

DR.. j. T. MILLER DEAD
Passed Away at His Home in This
City at Six O'clock Tuesday
Evening from Congestion.

DIR. J. T. Miller died at his
home in this city Tuesday after
noon at six o'clock, after an illness
of several days from congestion of
the stomach.
While his death was not entire
ly unexpected, it was nevertheless
a great shock to his many friends,
and expressions of sorrow were
heard on every hand, for there
was not a man in the entire COM
munity who was more universally
liked and respected than was Doc
tor Miller. He stood well, not
only as a physician, but as a man
and citizen, and every man who
knew him was his friend. He
moved to this place about two
years ago from Cord, and had not
only built up large professional
practice, but had won the friend
ship of all with whom he came in
contact.
DIR. Miller was born at Walnut
Grove in 1853 He studied medi-
cine and graduated from the med
ical department of the University
of Arkansas at Little Rock in
1889. He was married June L,
1898, to Miss Lee Wilson of Heb
er, and four children were born
unto them
Deceased is survived by a heart
broken wife, four children and one
brother; the latter being now in
very bad health in California
where he has been for some time
for the benefit of his health, and
was unable to be present.
The funeral took place Wednes-
day afternoon at four O'Clock at
the Blue Springs cemetery. A
large concourse of sorrowing
friends followed the remains to
their last earthly resting place,
where the members of the Odd
Fellows and Woodmen lodges, of
which he was an honored member,
performed the last sad rites.

A NEW 1AGAZINE.

Frank p Holland has made a
signal success of Farm and Ranch
and we note with pleasure that on
August l he will begin the publ
cation of a new monthly periodi-
cal, Hollands Magazine. This
publication is to be home maya
zine of high literary character de-
signed for a general circulation
throughout the South and South
west. At present no such a maya
zine exists. The Southern and
southwestern states should readily
support tirst-class magazine of
the right quality and if the meth
DDS pursued by Col. Holland in
making Farm and Ranch are indi-
catlve of those to be pursued in
the new magazine it certainly
ought to be winner. His policy
of making good rather than max
ing promises is fully exemplifed

CONVICTION mot GUILTY"
President of State Senate Acquit-
ted of Doodle Charge--Jury
Was Out 90 Hours.

III viz 1eloC VI k)Cl1 ttbOi IL " Wv
ington, charged with bribery, re-
turned a verdict of not guilty at
six o o'clock this evening. The case
was given to the jury at midnight
Saturday, and the first ballot
stood S to for acQuittal. After
that ballot and until the final bal
lot this evening they stood 3 for
conviction and for acquittal.
They were hung exactly 66 hours.
The three that held out until
this evening were !, J. McGrath,
Al Smith and |. j. Mention.
A peculiar feature of the trial is
the fact that the four jurors who
voted for conviction were sum
moned by Sheriff G. c. Kava-
naugh, the other eight being ac-
-cepted frem the regular panel.
When the verdict of not guilty
was returned, the State entered a
mol. prose. in the case charging
Senator Coyington with bribery
In connection with the Felsenthal
District Court bill. This disposes
of all the indictments against SEN
sator Covington.
Senator Covington's trial was
the first Of the Doodle cases inves
tigated by the Pulaski county
grand jury. He was indicted on
the charge of receiving a bride
of So, 900 to vote for and push :
the bill appropriating $500, 600 for
the completion of the new state
! capitol T. l.. Cox testified that
hegave NJ. ID. l.. Cook 81, 800 to
hand GoTiAgton to use his influence
in securing r. favorable report
from Architect Frank Z. Day of
Philadelphia, who was employed
to inspect the work already done
on the state capitol building The
appropriation bill was then pend
ing in the senate. Cook CORRIDOR
ated Cox and testified that he gave
Covington the 81, 800 in his rooms
at the Merchants Hotel in Little
Rock. George Caldwell, one of
the contractors of the capitol
building, testified that he gave Cox
and Cook at different times ST.
500 to look after the firm interest
in the legislature. Senator Cow
ington took the stand and denied
having received one cent from
Cox or Cook.
The court instructed the jury
that in order to convict the defend
ant the state must show by cor
roborating testimony that Senator
.Covington received the money to
influence his vote on the state
capitol bill and not to influence
Architect Days report. The
jury was also told that the testi-
mony of the three accomplices
alone was not sufficient to convict.
Representative George +. Chap
line of Clarendon will be the next
legislator to be placed on trial.
His case is set for July II before
Judge Winfield. He is charged
with bribery in connection with
the St. Francis levee bill and con
spiracy in connection with the
Cache River levee bill.
The grand jury will meet again
on July II to resume the investi-
cation.
