Prosecuting Attorney Herrn
secured a conviction in the Bax
ter circuit court at Mountain
Home last week of murder in the
first degree. Jim Russell was
the party convicted, and Circuit
Judge Meeks has sentenced him
to hang on December 7. Russell
murdered his wife last October.
The couple had been divorced,
and the Chancery Court decreed
that the woman should have the
custody of their only child, an
infant. When she went to Rus
SELLS home to secure the child,
Russell shot her with a Winchest-
er rifle, killing her. He then
turned the gun upon himself and
sent a bullet through his own
breast, but his life was saved for
the gallows. At his trial, Rus
sells lawyers plead insanity, but
that plea seems to have availed
nothing in his favor.

he says:
The famine situation in northern ia

at first supposed, and thousands of per-
sons are on the verge of starvation. II Is
calamity such as may occasionally be-
fall any nation. Nations, like men,
should stand ever ready to a!d each

WHY Not Remedy Evil.

In sermon on fake clubs Sunday night
Rev. George II. spooner. pastor of Broad
Street Methodist Church. the preacher
delivered himself of scathing attack
on the abuses and evasion of the law of
which the fake clubs are accused. He
said that what the Legislature had been

unreasonable or fanatical-siinpiy to force
the clubs to take out n license and to
put them under restrictions like the bar
rooms. He said that he had no desire
to accuse the members OF the Legislature
of neglect of duty. but he asked why It
is that they spend so much time over
petty Investigations and in parceling out
the "plums'' and dividing the '"loaves
and fishes" and have no time to devote
to great moral issue or no determine
ton to right stupendous wrong and
protect the State where her laws are be-
