Joseph Hunters Residence Struck by
Lightning.

On Wednesday night the residence of Joseph
Hunter, near this city, was struck by lightning,
doing considerable damage to the interior of
the diningroom. The bolt is supposed !. to
have entered the house by the telephone wire,
which is in this room, as there were no other
marks on the house to cause suspicion. Where
the bolt entered it knocked shutteroff and des
troyed the telephone. With the room it played
havoc, knocking all of the pictures from the
wall and breaking them, broke clock up, tore
the window blinds into shreds and broke all
of the chinaware on buffet, but not injuring
the buffet. Right where the telephone hung
stood a very handsome china closet. filled with
costly chinaware. which did not receive a
scratch. Everything else in room excepting
the buffet and chinacloset was damaged.
None of the occupants of the house was
stunned.

Royal FowIer's Case Argued.

Supreme Court at Columbus on his motion
for leave to file petition in error in that
court in the case of Royal Fowler, the convicted
murderer formerly of this city. His main
argument was based on the fact that the
court had permitted evidence to go to the
Jury relative to a great many arrests of
Fowler. covering three years prior to the
murder, the offenses not being similar to the
one charge in the indictment. Chief Justice
Schauck brought out the fact that all but one
of the arrests were for attacks made upon the
woman whom he finally killed.

LIBEL ON ANIMAL RACE
Little Girls Answer Was Decidedly Reflection on the Class of
 Rumnates.

John Lover, the animal expert and nature writer of the Philadel- phia Zoo, was talking the other day about a wolf.
 "Yes," said MT. Lover, "she ate her last litter of cubs. She has eat en, in fact, her last six filters. Yet she is a gentle and affectionate wolf. Strange that she should be so un- motherly."
 He paused and smiled. "She reminds me of remark 1 overheard the other day." the famous keeper resumed. "A school teacher came here with a class of little girls, and every now and then he would stop and fire off at the youngsters a few questions-nature questions, you know.
 'In the lion house he said
 "Who can tell me what a ru- minating animal is?
 "1 know, sir said little girl. She is one that chews her cubs. ""

ENGLISH CATHEDRAlS.

The gift of f20,0O0 by lady, Mrs Hawkins, for the completion of the western towers of Truro cathe- dral is a reminder that this is the only established church cathedral of any importance which has been built since St. Paul's was completed by Sir Christopher Wren. All the great cathedrals and ahbeys in England were erected by Catholics and were handed over by act of parliament in the reign of Henry VIII. to the protestants when the Catholic church was disestablished and the Protestant religion created by law It does not say much for the fer vency of the Protestant religion that although the population of England and Wales, since the time of Henry VIII. has sprung up from about 100000 to 36,000,000 the Prot estant church has been unable to add any notable ministers to equal those built by the Catholics.-Reynold's Newspaper.

BABY NEEDS LETTING ALoNE.~

Most of the earlier months of an infants life should be spent in sleep, and for the first six months of its life it should be kept very quiet.
 Too much talking to and fussing tiny infant IS very bad, and though a child of a year or so old that has been made much of may appear unusually bright and intelli- gent, it is not good for the little brain to be over-excited and develop ed, and reaction may come sooner or later, and the brilliant baby turn out the dunce of the class.
 Many great men were to all ap- pearances stupid" children, their brains developing more slowly and maturing at a later date than those of their more averagely endowed brothers and Chicago Jour nal.

WOMAN AND HER WATCH.

Watchmakers say it's amazing women have timepieces that go at all, in view of the fact that about five women in a hundred wind their watches at the proper time. The average woman looks on the windinr of watch either as a ceremony to be performed only on gala days or as a pastime that will do well enough |. stop-gap for idle mo- ments, but must not be permitted to interfere with the serious thins. of life. The explanation probably is that she doesn't wear it every day. A man looks on his watch as a con- stant companion, and if he is for tunate enough to posses . good one. also as a faithful servant.

state government ought to be conducted in this way. The language of the con- stitution, as found in Article ", is as follows:
 Section I. The powers of the gov ernment of the state of Arkansas shall be divided into three distinct depart ments, each of them to be confided to the separate body of magistracy, to-wit: Those which are legislative to one those which are legislative to another, and those which are judicial to another. "Sec. ?. No person or collection of persons beirg of one of these depart ments shall exercise any power belong ing to either of the others, except the instances hereinafter expressly directed or permitted.
 In defining the duties of governor, article 6, section s, of the constitution, | says:
 "He shall give to the general assem- | ply from time to time, and at the close of his official term to the next general assembly, information by message con- cerning the condition and government of the state, and recommend for their consideration such measures as he may deem expedient"
 The constitution further provides that
 
 does not meet his approval. If I am elected governor, l shall make such rec concentrations to the general assembly as believe best for the state, and with in the limitations of the constitution I will do all that 1 can to secure their en- actmeht.
 Whether we are to have good or bad legislation is bound to depend in great measure upon the kind of men that make up the general assembly. And in this matter, fellow citizens of Arkansas, the responsibility is yours. If you want the state to be blessed with wise laws, you must look to the character of the men you send to the senate and house of representatives. In every county in Arkansas there are many men qualified to make honorable and faithful senators and representatives Let us hope for new and better era in legislation, so that we may, if possible, forget the disgrace and infamy that have too often hereto fore characterized the acts of our legis- lators.
 So far as the management of the state charitable institutions Is concerned, If elected governor, I shall appoint the very best men in the state l can get to serve on the board, and hold the boaad to strict accountability for faithful and wise administr aton of these affairs.
 Any governor that has the proper re- gard for his oath of office, is bound to exercise the pardoning power with great caution, for the constitution says that "he shall see that the laws are faithfully executed" The governor takes a sol emn oath to support the constitution. How can he support the constitution that requires him to see that the laws are faithfully executed, unless he is care ful in exercising the pardoning power3 The pardoning power should be exer- cised with due regard to the laws en- forcement only in those cases where it is called for by principles of humanity and justice.
 In conclusion, can only repeat how thank ful I am for your support and en- couragement and promise you faithful discharge of the duties of office if l am elected your governor.
