A YOUTHFUL MURDERER.
Ten-Year-Old Fulton County Lad Shoots
and Kills his Four-Year-0ld Brother.
Hardy Herald.)

Hardy Herald.)
A most horrible decd was COM
mitted by the 10-year-old son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. J. G. Stroud of near
Fred, on Friday, January II, 1905.
Mrs. Stroud had gone to one Of
the neighbors' to see sick folks
and Mr.. Stroud was at the lot
some distance from the house,
feeding stock, when he heard
the report of a gun, but paid no
attention to it, and went on with
his work. When he returned to
the house he found his 4-year.old
son had been shot in the head,
and was lying in the floor dead.
On questioning the children at
the house, a 10-year- old boy and
a girl younger, the father was
told that a man riding a bay
horse rode by the house and shot
the child. Search was made in
the direction the children said
the man had gone and nothing
could be heard, seen or found of
any such man. The suspicion
was aroused that the boy did the
shooting, and investigation found
the 10 gauge shotgun of the
father, which he had cleaned,
not long previous, and set away
had been discharged by someone,
but counted his shells and found
that all of them were there
thinking over it he remembered
Of putting one SHE'LL, which he
had snapped several times and
had failed to get to fire, in another
place and this. shell could not be
found. The father then looked
in the stove and found the brass
cap off of No. 10 shell in the
ashes.
Mr.. Alvin Griffith, uncle of the
came to the scene and
took the girl off and talked to her
and she finally acknowledged that
her brother shot the little boy

CARGILL DISAPPEARS.
Sentenced To Term In The Penitentiary
And Has Evidently Skipped The
Country.
(Batesville News.)


Will Cargill, who was convicted
in the independence circuit court
OF the charge of larceny and
sentenced to one year in the
penitentiary, has evidently dis
appeared. After Cargill's con-
viction the case was appealed to
the supreme court, Cargill max
ing a bond for 81, 800, and few
weeks ago the supreme court af-
filmed the case. Soon after
wards petition was presented
by Hon. |. j. Matheny to the
governor asking for Cargill's
pardon, Cargill accompanying
Mr.. Matheny to Little Rock. On
his return, while in this city,
Cargill informed Sheriff Kaneast-
or that if he did not receive a
pardon in short time he would
return and surrender to the
sheriff to be turned over to the
penitentiary authorities. The
following week Cargill wrote
Sheriff lancaster that he was
winding up his business prepara-
toy to going to Little Rock if be
did not receive pardon.
Knowing that a petition had
been presented to the governor
asking Cargill's pardon and the
additional fact that Cargill's bond
for $1,000 was still in force,
Sheriff Kaneaster's suspicious
were not aroused until last week,
when he began an investigation
which developed the fact that
Cargill had left home about two
weeks ago, Mrs. Cargill saying
he had gone to Little Rock to
begin his sentence. Inquiry over
the telephone to Little Rock,
Ilfwever, showed this to be un-
true, and there is little doubt
that Cargill has disappeared.
Sheriff lancaster says he will
yet turn Cargill over to the peni-
tentiary authorities.

No More Passed Out.
(Exchangc.)

A clergyman once preached q
long sermon from the text:
"Thou art weighed in the balance
and found wanting" After the
congregation had listened about
an hour, some began to get
weary and went out. Others
soon followed, greatly to the an
noyance of the minister. An
other person started, whereupon
the parson stopped his sermon
and said: "That is right, gen.
tlemen; as ia st as you are,
weighed, pass out" He con-
tinued his sermon at some length
after that, but no more disturbed
him by leaving.

SOMETHING NEW MAY DEVELOP.
The Gazette Claims That The Pulaski
County Grand Jury May Uncover
Some More Legislative
BOOdlerS.
ARKANSAS Gazette.)

Although little attention has
been drawn to the deliberations
of the present grand jury, on ac-
count of the quiet manner in
which it's Investigations have
been conducted, the develop
ments of the past few days make
it practically certain that within
the next fifteen days there will be
developments in the famous
Doodle inquiry which will be of a
more sensational character than
any that have gone before. The
indications are that before the
present grand jury concludes its
work it will return a large num-
Der of indictments, which will in
clude some against persons who
have not yet appeared in a stel-
lar role in any of the bribery
cases up to the present time.
1t is understood, also, that
many additional suits are to be
instituted against the railroads
for furnishing members of the
general assembly with free trans
portation. 1t is said that evil
dence has been discovered which
shows practically every member
of the legislature to whom a pass
was issued during the last ses-
sion, and that this evidence will
be used as the basis for suits
which are to be brought against
The railroads. 1t is probable also
hat proceedings may be institu-
led against the members who ac-
'epted the passes.

1t is almost certain that a big
fight will occur in the next
general assembly over the repeal
of that part of the anti trust law
referring to fire insurance COM
panies. Since the old-line com.
panies have retired from the state,
the rate of insurance has not
cheapened any, and in many in
stances is higher, besides the
companies now doing business
in the state are not able to care
for all the business, and are,
therefore, not as thoroughly
reliable as the prohibited COM
panies.

Flies Play nm Important Part Car
riers of Disease.


R. G. Eccles declares, in Medical
Record, that there is no reasona bic
room to doubt that the development of
typhoid fever is connected with the
use of infected water; but that typhoid
fever results from the drinking of in
fected water is quite a different propo-
sition
He then emphasizes the important
part which flies play in carrying dis
ease germs to food. These insects go
through human excreta, garbage,
Stops, sputa and decomposing matter
in one minute and then wade over our
food at the next 1t is easy to see how
food may multiply disease germs to
the danger point. but it is not evident
how any person could take the disease
from water that thousands are drink
ing without the slightest injury.
Typhoid germs injure by their toxin.
When these germs get into food there
they are able to produce if the condi-
tons are favorable. The writer then
goes into various phases of this ques
ton. He considers water. dust and
fomites as mere seed sewers. Food is
the disease breeder. In the late war
the Japanese lost only one-sixth as
many from typhoid fever and dysen-
terry as did the Russians. The writer
ascribes this fact to the differences in
the character and the method of car
ing for the food OF the two nations.

Saturday, 5000 hogs, 200 cattle and
80 sheep, against 4,547 hogs. $50
cattle and II sheep week ago.
There was fair average Saturday
run of hogs, and with continued
good demand both from local and
outside sources the market opened at
a general advance of sc in prices. A
few loads arrived late and with the
demand well supplied buyers were
not inclined to take more at steady
prices.
Receipts of hogs last week were
the smallest since about the middle
of August. With more change IN
light hogs than heavy last week, the
spread in prices was narrower. 1t is
coming the time of year when it is
expected that medium to heavy
grades will have the preference.
Too Many Common Cattle.
There was an unusually snail run
of cattle. There was a limited out
let and the market was quiet and
steady.
There was considerable complaint
in the cattle market last week on ac-
count of the excessive supplies of
common to medium stock and the
continued scarcity of good to choice
cattle.

New York, Sept 23.-The stock
market continues under influence OF
the monetary situation. The most
significant feature at the moment IS
the world wide firmness in money
rates, and the advance in time money
at this center to cigar per cent. Up
to date, we have imported or engag-
ed about 10000. 900 of gold. Since
large portion of this was made i'm
mediately available by Treasury ad-
vances. corresponding amount or
current imports will have to be re-
turned to the Treasury upon arrival
The result is that over $4,000. 600
more money remains locked up in the
Treasury than year ago; nothing
but temporary relief from outside
sources having been afforded by thu
Treasury through advances on i'm
ports. Secretary Shaw has not yet
increased his deposits with the
banks; means of relief to which
the Government will apparently soon
be imperatively driven. Meanwhile
the facilities for gold imports are di
minishing. London. Paris and Ber-
lin all show an increasing indisposi-
ton to permit gold to come this way.
The bulk of our imports, -about S16,
900 000,-have thus far come from
London. 1t was estimated that Lon
don could spare s20,000,000 but that
amount will not be taken except at
a high price.
