Negro Badly Carved.

Sam Hawthorne, a negro living on the old Sink farm near Diaz, was badly cut while at work in the field Thursday afternoon about 2::3O o'clock by another negro whose name could not be learned, nor has he yet been captured by the officers, who are seeking his arrest.
 Dr. L. E. Willis was summoned and found the negro to have re- ceived bad stab just below the heart and slash on the left side, which severed the intest- ines, but these injuries were fixed up and the negro may re- cover.

It has been imbedded in the ground and was plowed up while breaking. When MT. Driver bought the place several years ago and be- gan clearing it up there were very few trees that had not had the top shot away by the heavy cannon used in this battle and many large balls have been plowed up on the farm.'

Post Office Safe Blown.

Conway, March 8. News has just been received here that the postoffice, at Bristol, was entered by safe-blowers, who wrecked the safe, took $100, and then set the building on fire to hide all traces of their crime.
 The Bristol postoffice is in the storehouse of M. Strickland & Son. The building is a frame affair and is not occupied at night. There was no one to hinder the cracksmen when they effected an entrance to the place, and the first intimation of the crime that was received was when the building was seen to be afre.

PRESCOTT MERCHANT DROWNED.
Attempted to Ford TreaCher0us River, Team Baked, Buggy Overturned and
 lie Was Carried Down.

Prescott, March 8.-J. T. Brooks, a merchant and we'll known citizen of Prescott, was dsowned in Little Missouri river 10 miles north of here this morn ing, and his body has not yet been recovered.
 MT. Brooks was on his way to Okolona overland. His buggy was pulled by team of horses and he was accompanied by a negro driver. The Little Mis- souri, long known as an uncer- tain, if not treacherous, stream, was running high when MT. Brooks reached the ford near Elkins' ferry, yet he did not think the water high enough to make the crossing dangerous. As the horses were driven into the cold water, however, they became chilled and had not pro- ceeded far before they came to standstill.
 It seems that MT. Brooks started to get out of the buggy, evidently fearing that the balky team could be made to go no further. As he got out the vehi- cle overturned and MT. Brooks, caught in the current, was taken off his feet and carried rapidly down. The two horses were also swept away in the running water and drowned. The negro driver caught hold of some drift wood and saved himself. MT. Brooks last words were, f'I can't swim; guess I'll have to drown. ; He made an effort as if to grasp something that would enable him to hold his head above water, but he was rapidly carried down.
 As soon as the news of his fate became known searching party of some 50 persons went to the river to look for the body, but at last accounts their efforts had been fruitless.

Contract for SprinkIing.

The sprinkling of the streets of this city has never been done upon any systematic basis. One man probably paid for privil- ege that his equally able neigh Dor also enjoyed, and to put all on the same footing, the water company this year propose to make contracts for the season from April 16 to November l and to sprinkle only those blocks where the property owners or renters are willing to subscribe for the service for that time. And as stated, unless the people are willing to get together, there may be no street sprinkling, whereas if all pay a proportion ate rate to the frontage of their property and guarantee it for the season by subscribing to such contract, general service may be secured without the cost falling heavily upon any indi- yidual.

New Engines Promised.

Superintendent Hugh Wilson of the White River road is au- thority for the statement that new or rebuilt engines are to be placed on that line at once, says the Arkansas Democrat. The opening of the White River line has caused the diverting of much traffic, which has heretofore gone through St. Louis from Kansas City, and for the reason heavier and more equipment is required. Reports from stations along this road tell of a rapidly increasing business, and ere long through passenger trains will be in operation. It is the intention of the company to put a through sleeper on this road from Memphis to Kansas City at the very earliest pos sible moment.

NARROW ESCAPE FROM EXPLOSION.
Boiler in Hot Springs Opera House
 Near Bursting During Bern- r hardt Performance

Hot Springs, Ark, March S. That boiler explosion in the auditorium building last Monday, when Bernhardt played to a crowded house, was narrowly averted, which fact has been closely guarded from the news papers, has just leaked out.
 Through the prompt action of City Electrician B. F. Curry, the action which might have cost many lives was averted.
 In absence of the regular jani- tor, a negro prisoner was dele gated from the city jail, which is located in the auditorium build- ing, to attend the heating plant. The negro it appears manipu- lated the valves incorrectly and a few moments later when Curry, who noticed something wrong with the heating system, entered the boiler room he found a fierce fire under the boiler while the guage showed that all of the water was out. The steam guage showed an enormous pres sure, the pipes were hissing and popping, while the frightened ne- gro was on the verge of admit ting cold water to the boiler. The fires were drawn and the Bernhardt performance enacted uneventfully.

Discharged from Service.

Little Rock, March 8-G. R. Michael has resigned as electri- clan of the State penitentiary, effective at once, and it was ac- cepted by Superintendent Pit cock, who will announce his suc- cessor soon.
 The resignation was due to the fact that several weeks ago a school boy, Willie Crowder, was killed on Pulaski Heights by coming in contact with a live wire of the State plant, for which the coroner's jury found Michael responsible, as he hac neglected to raise the wire. Nc prosecution has followed anC possible will not. Superintend' tent Pitcock said:
 'I do not think there should be any prosecution, as Michae could not have neglected sucl duty intentionally. Again, i. the wire had been down fol thirty days, the people of thu community were negligent II not having brought it to my at tentiOn sooner"

Oiell Begins War on ROOse-
 Yplt Faction

Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan,l
 Albany, Jan, That former Gov, OdelI means to continue the war that has beg1n in republican politics of New York state was made evident yesterday when Senator Edgar T. Bracket, re- publican, of Saratoga Springs, iutro- duced a resolution demanding the reSig- nation of Senator ChauCcey NJ. Depew on account of the revelations of the in- surauce investigation. A heated de- bate followed, which gave a foretaste of more stormy times to follow. The resolution was finally withdrawn for the time being, but notice was given that it will come up again. Odell says there will be DO surrender on his part and he is not considering compromise.
 The vote permitting the withdrawal of the Bracket resolution was 27 to l9. It does not signify anything for the req son that many who are opposed to Depew voted to withdraw the resolu- tion for the reason that they thought the first day of the session was not the right time to press it.
 James w. Wadsworth, jr., was elect ed speaker of the house of representa- tives yesterday afternoon, receiving practically all of the republican votes.

 In 1s43 she married Isaac Pinkham builder and real estate operator, and their early married life was marked bv prosperity and happiness. They had four children, three sons and a daughter.
 In those good old fashioned days it was common for mothers to make their own home medicines from roots and herbs, natures own remedies calling in physician only in specially urgent cases. By tradition and ex- perience many of them gained won- derful knowledge of the curative prop erIies of the various roots and herbs.
 Mrs. Pinkham took a great interest in the study of roots and herbs, their characteristics and power over disease. She maintained that just as nature so beautifully provides in the harvest fields and orchards vegetable foods of all kinds; so, if we but take the pains to ind them, in the roots and herbs of the field there are remedies eX- pressly designed to cure the various ills and weaknesses of the body, and it was her pleasure to search these out. and prepare simple and effective medi- clnes for her own family and friends.
 Chief of these was a rare combina- tion of the choicest medicinal roots and herbs found best adapted for the cure of the ills and weaknesses pecu- liar to the female sex, and Lydia F Pink hams friends and neighbors learned that her compound relieved and cured and it became quite popular among them.
 All this so far was done freely, with ont money and without price, as a labor of love.
 But in 1873 the financial crisis struck Lynn Its length and severity were too much for the large real estateinterests ot the Pinkham family, as this class Of business suffered most from fearful depression, so when the Centen. nial year dawned it found their prop erty swept away. Some other source of income had to be found.
 At this point Lydia F. Pinxham's Vegetable Compound was made known to the world.
