TRAGEDY CAUSES INSANITY
Breeding Over Death of Son-in-Law, J. M.
 McPherson Loses His Mind.

J. M. McPherson, living about five miles north of Conway, was adjudged insane after an examina- tion before Judge J. A. Lea last Thursday, and committed to the state hospital for nervous diseases, to which place he was taken Sun day night, accompanied by Deputy Sheriff Cal Stewart and A. M. Ledbetter.
 MT. McPherson' unfortunate condition is, it is said, direct re- suit of the tragedy in which his son-in-law, John Earnhart, lost his life at the hands of John and Till man Dempsey at Greenbrier about a year ago. He continually brood ed over Earnhart's death, and the recent trial of the Dempseys is thought to have brought the mat ter before him again so strongly that 1t caused collapse of his mea- tai powers. He became more and more violent until it was necessary to restrain him.
 It was a peculiar coincidence that during the time MT. McPher- son was kept ii jail here awaiting commitment to the state hospital, the only other prisoners were the two Dempseys, who are held pend ing the furnishing of their bond on their appeal to the supreme court.

Circuit Court Adjourns Earlier

After Eleven Days of Hard Work, During Which Much Work Was Accomplish

ed, SeSSl0Q was AuJOuIueu.
 The Faulkner county circuit court, after eleven days of hard work, both day and night, during which a heavy docket was almost completely cleared, was adjourned Friday afternoon of last week.
 The most important case dispos- ed of since our report last week was that of Mrs. Harriet A. Gualtney against the St. l.. l. M. & $. Ky. Go. for personal damages. Mrs. Gualtney in company with her three children, was passenger on the train from Conway to Palarm one day last August. When the train reached Palarm and she at tempted to alight, the train sud denly started and she was thrown, 1t was alleged, from the top step of the platform to the ground, her children being carried on to Little Rock. She was in delicate con- dition at the time, and claimed that the fall and resultant shock was a severe injury to her health. Suit for S1o, ,ooo was brought against the railroad, and, after trial which occupied nearly all day Thursday, the jury returned a verdict for S25oo.
 During the session of the court six damage suits against the rail way company were called, and of these four resulted in judgments for the plaintiffs, one for the defend ant and one was continued. The four judgments against the com pany amount to total of exactly S5ooo, as follows: Mrs. Harriet A. Gualtney, S25oo; Wm. Day, SI5oo; Marie Fuller, S75o; E. O.. Puckett, S25o.

DAVIS NAMED FOR SENATOR
Final Result Declared in Joint
 Session Yesterday.
Davis Received IIs Votes in Both Houses; Two Other Senators Received
 Scattering Votes.

Both houses of the Arkansas legislature balloted Tuesday for United States senator for the term beginning March 4 next, and yes terday the two bodies met in joint session and declared the result. Tn the senate Jeff Davis received 20 votes and in the house S8 votes. Clifton R. Breckinridge received one vote, that of MT. Balch of Pu- 1aski. John I. Warrington, for whom the Republican members de- cided to cast their complimentary votes, received one vote in the sen ate and four votes in the house.
 In the senate, Senator Milan presented the name of Jefferson Davis to the senate as candidate for the United States Senate. He made but few remarks, saying he supposed. there was neither reason nor desire on the part of any of the senators to vote for other than this man.
 On the roll call each senator re- sponded with the name of Davis until Senator Browning's name was reached. He simply answered present. Senator Carlock explained his vote by saying that like Sam uel of old, I will have to hearken to the voice of my people and vote against my wishes, though 1 risk hail and thunderstorm to follow. , Senator Moore answered the roll call so quietly that a second call of his name was necessary, when he answered "Davis"
 When the name of Senator Leg ate, the only Republican member of the body, was called, he said: "Gentlemen, the Republican forces of this body have just held eau GUS, in which I participated, and it is the unanimous verdict of that

realize his hearts longing. The end
came after intense physical suffering,
but the smile upon his face as he lies
quiet in death, speaks to us in unmis-
taxable language of the glorious
vision that dawned upon him even
before his spirit left the body. Our
brother sleeps, but we would not have
you ignorant, brethren, concerning
them that fall asleep, that ye sorrow
not, even as the rest that have no
hope. For If we believe that Jesus
died and rose again, even so them
also that are fallen asleep In Jusus
will God bring with him, for this we
say unto you by the word of the Lord,
that we that are alive, that are left
unto the coming of the Lord, shall in
no1wise precede them who are fallen
asleep, for the Lord himself shall
descend from Heaven with a shout
with the voice of the archangel, and
with the trumpet of God. and the
dead in Christ shall arise first; then
we that are alive, shall together with
them be caught up in the clouds to
meet the Lord in the air, and so shall
we ever be with the Lord. Therefore
comfort one another with these words.

Oysters and MacaPoni.

If you have never served oysters
and macaroni, do try this recipe just
as an opportunity affords Itself. 1t is
such a tempting hot dish to serve
with cold sliced meat, or 1t may be
well intr duced into any simple HON e
luncheon or supper. 1t is an excel
lent way to make use of a pint of
oysters If one has not larger supply
on hand. If people we're more care
full In cleaning oysters there would be
less discomfort in eating dishes made
from them. Put oysters In a strainer
placed over bowl. Pour cold water
over oysters, allowing one half cupful
to each quart of oysters. Carefully
pick over oysters, taking each one
separately In the fingers, to remov e
any particles of the shell which ad-
hereto the tough muscle. Cook three
fourths of cupful of macaroni,
broken In one-inch pieces, in salted
boiling water until soft; drain, and
rinse with cold water. Put a layer
in the bottom of a buttered baking
dish, cover with oysters, sprinkle with
salt and pepper, dredge with flour and
dot over with two and one halh table.
spoonfuls of butter repeat, and cover
with one half cupful of buttered
cracker crumbs. Bake twenty min :
utes in a hot oven.-Woman's Home
