TOM TAYLOR
 IS PARDONED
The Taylor Boys Are Now Free--vas.
 sar Still h Prison.

Little Rock, May 11.--Acting Governor John P. Lee today granted pardons to three men, whose applications had been denied, it is stated, by Governor Davis. The men released are:
 Thomas c. Taylor, convicted in Sevier county in 1904, on the charge of murder in the second degree. and sentenced to seven years in the peniten,iary. John Blair, convicted in Boone county in 1901 on the charge of murder in the second degree and sentenced to thirteen years in the penitentiary.
 Ed Hillby, convicted in Lee county, on the charge of grand larceny in the fall of 1905 and sentenced to one year in the peni- tentiary. All the pardous were granted at the solicitation of the best people of the several districts. In the case of Tom G. Taylor, petition sent to the governors office asking for the mans free dom were signed by ninety-fve per cent of the citizens of Scvier county, including the trial judge, Judge Steel, and other county officers, the foreman and jury which convicted him and many others. 1t was stated by friend of Taylor's at the state house this morning that it was the intention of his friends in Sevier county to run Taylor Tor clerk of his county and that he was one of the most popular men ia thatcounty. The crime for which he was con vicied was the shooting and killing of Dave Forshee at Lockesbnrg in 1904. The parties were there att tending court, Dave Forshee be- ing under indictment for killing Taylor's father. The three Tay- Tor boys and cousin named Vas sar came upon Dave Forshee and his brother, John, and shot and killed both the Forshees.
 It is said that the serious con- dition of health of the mother of the Taylor boys, doubtless due to the past troubles, has played a strong part in securing Tom Taylor's pardon as It did in the dismissal of the case against Frank Taylor which was pend- ing in this court on a change of venue and the Will Taylor case which was pending in Howard county.
 Vasssr, the Taylor boys cousin who was implicated in the kill ing, IS now serving a five-year sentence and case is still pend- ing against him for the murder of the other Forshee in this term of court.

TExARKANA STIRRED.
Pastor of Episcopal Church Preached
 Strong Sermon on Spiritualism.

 The following is a portion of the report in Mondays Texar- kanian of sermon delivered by Rev. Henry Knott in that city last Sunday:
 "The services at Saint James Episcopal church yesterday drew crowd that was limited only by the capacity of the building. The rector, Rev. Henry Knott, had previously announced that he would preach on the subject of 'Spiritualism.'
 "Ouite a number of men l thinkers-who are not church. goeis were present, drawn thither doubtless to hear pulpit deliv- erance that bad never had paral- Tel iu the religious history of the city. Nobody was disappointed but all were immensely pleased. The preacher has marvellous command of words-his diction is perfect-and the subject up for discnssion was one to conjure with, as there is known to be in every intelligent human heart a hungering desire to penetrate the veil which we are told divides that heavenly land from ours.
 '.I'he speaker deprecated many phases Of modern spiritualism, it's charlatanism of deceit, but testified to a bond of union be- tween this world and the world beyond the grave existing and gave remarkable testimony of his own experiences. lie quoted parts of messages he had received from out the mystery of the un- seen world. He spoke of Christs wonderful power as medium and assigned all doubters as foes of truth and religious progress. He spoke also of the instruction he had received from the world of spirits upsetting many pre-con- ceived notions he once held. All so of their power of ninistering to the spiritual need of men in the flesh. He described the pro- cess called death and spoke of the many mansions in the Fathers House. He warned impressively men against the seduction of the world, the flesh and the powers of evil, and vividly portrayed the fate of those who never developed the divine attributes ot the soul.
 "IIe spoke of his questions after truth being answered by the spirits in sublime language.
 "He spoke also of thought as a living reality capable of being seen, clothedin its own particular effectiveness. Thus the secret sin, the ulterior evil motive, the hypocrisy were all seen by hundred eyes-watchers of that other world.
 "He interpreted the philosophy of prayer the kiss of the spirit with spirit. The telepathic pro- jection of thought clothed before the presence of God.
 "He spoke also of the quality of mind and gave wonderful exposition of the powers of the subliminal mind, limen-censcious- ness. He taught the beauty of prayers for the dead rather as prayers for the living, thier mutual hslpfulness.
 ''He spoke of the activities ot that other world-the glorious winning of every lofty ideal and holy aspiration, and closed by quoting a message he had re- ceived from the spirit land urging him to preach the Gospel of Christ's salvation and the dread full folly of sin.
 "Altogether it was perhaps the most impressive and remarkable
