ITO TEST THE STOCK LAW
Farmer Denies City's Right to Shut His Cow Wher She Comes to
 Town--Change of Venue Taken

An interesting case is now in court to test a point in the city stock law. The marshal took up a COW inside the stock limits some two weeks ago and kept her two days before finding an owner and then J. K. Grant came and claimed the COW, but would not pay the fees, claiming because he lived outside the limits that his COW could not lawfully be i'm pounded for running at large in the town. He brought replevin before Squire s. H. Smith and gave bond for the COW, which was turned over to him.
 Tuesday was return day and on that day he appeared before Squire Sam H. Smith and filed an affidavit That he could not get justice in this township, so the case was transferred to Squire |. N. Lane of Potter township, where he will be tired tomorrow.
 J. l. Alley represented the city and at the time of taking the change of venue Mir. Grant was representing himself.

Trulock was instantly killed, another white man died four hours later, his brother was also fatally hurt and two negres were injured, one probably fatal ly.
 It was stated that the boiler had beeu out of commission for several days, and that MT. Tru- lock, the owner of the Trulock plantation, and his assistants were at work on 1t, trying to remedy the trouble, when the boiler exploded. MT. Trulock was struck in the head by piece of the piston rod and buried be meath lot of falling brick and debris. He was killed instantly, his brains being dashed out. Oscar Robinson, the engineer, and his brother, both of whom are white men, were blown through a brick wall and were found UNCONSCIOUS in the cotton field 40 feet away.
 Will Robinson, a machinist, was badly battered and the physi- clans say.he cannot recover. He was broug ht to this city. and is in the hospital with the likelihood that he will not survive the night.

GREAT BUSINESS
 ACTIVITY AHEAD
Prominent Chicago Man Believes Springtime Will Bring Greater Era of Progress and Prosper
 ity Over Country.

 Mir. Huey receives a dally tele- gram while away from Chicago, advising him of the condition, and he is therefore we'll qualified to make prediction with more than fair prospect of its being fulfilled.
 "Money will be very easy in New York before spring." MT. Huey said to a News Record re- porter just before leaving for his home in Chicago, last night. "There has been a temporary upsetting of confidence there, but the reaction has already set in. There will be all kinds of money seeking investment there at low interest, and it will be an easy matter to float bonds.

PLOT AGAINST
 WOMAN'S LIFE
Had Been Forewarned and When As saulted Sent Her Assailant Away Probably Wounded by Shot
 From Her Revolver.

Paragould, Nov. 14.-The first of this week Oscar Camp, one of. Psragould's most prominent busi- ness men, received letter warn- ing him to guard his wife closely and not 10 leave her side, as three or four plots had been made against her life. The letter was mailed in the city and signed, "A Friend"
 Mr. Camp, of course, told his wife of the warning letter and she has since been on her guard, and 1t is we'll that she was pre- pared, for an unsuccessful at tempt to take her life was made at the family home on the East Side last night. The time was just after dark, about 6:30, and Mrs. Camp was at home alone, busy with her household duties. In preparing to go to the lot at the rear of the house, she put on a craveuette, aAd mbering the warning letter, slipped a re- volver in the side of her coat.
 The back porch of the house is built close to the lot fence, and as Mrs. Camp stepped from the porch a man sprung from behind a watering trough just inside the lot fence and seized her roughly by the left arm. A scuffle eusued and she finally liberated herself, and drawing the revolver, fired at her would be assassin at very close range. She is confident that the first bullet struck him, as he reeled slightly when he turned and ran. She fired the second time at him as he fled through the lot, but this shot went wide.
 MT. Camp was busy at his meat market up town, but hurried home, and his wife de- scribed the man to him as being about six feet tall, wearing a black box coat and a slouch hat pulled down over his face. With this description MT. Camp headed searching party and they had gone only short distance when a man answering to the descrip tion as given by Mrs. Camp. sprapg from behind mortar box and threw club at Oss Geter, one of the searching party. Ge- ter was armed with a revolver and fired three shots at the des- perado, who fled rapidly through the darkness.
 The affair is surrounded by a great mystery, as Mrs. Camp knows of no sworn enemy in the town, and especially one who would attempt to take her life. Her left arm was badly bruised by the clutch of the ruffau, and her shoulder was slightly wrenched, but she has entirely recovered from the nervous fright the attack gave her.

street preacher. working WITH me num-
blest workers in the slums? There can
be but one answer. There is but one
self evident reply.
The Professors Reply.
Thus I have tried TO show you that
You have only one spiritual duty in
life. You are here and now to grasp
the great doctrine Of Jesus love-
Cease from sectarian differences, stop
frittering away your time and go to
work in his dear name. We can all be
one in unity for the cross. | remember
! many years ago when in our Summary
we We're discussing the sacraments, 1
said to our professor: Doctor. you say
that we must use wine and bread at
the Lords supper. Suppose | were on /
an arctic expedition. Surprising we (
were caught amid the icebergs and in /
all probability were about to die; sup /
posing | wanted to have the COM
muniOn of the Lords supper with the
men of the ship, and suppOsing the
only food we had left was some hard
tack and some soup, could I use the
soup for the wine and the hard tack
for the bread?" The professor looked
at me moment in surprise Then he
said: "Under such a condition the soup
would be as acceptable to God as the
wine and the hard tack as the bread.
1t is not the wine and the bread that
we lift to the lips which make us con-
secrated to the Saviour, but the spirit
of the yielding of our own hearts to his
divine will"
The old professor was right 1t Is
not by ecclesiastical formulas that you
and l are going to come to the cross,
but only by consecrating our lives to
Christ's will. Friends, you may have
been qubbling in the past. You may
have been switching yourself off from
the main spiritual issue. Do you be-
ieve that Jesus is divine? Do you be-
ieve that he died to save you? Win :
rou accept his offer of salvation? VIII +
-ou here and now consecrate your life \
o save men and women by Christs
blood from sin and death and hell?
Yea. yea" you answer. Then pledge
ourselves to him. Having given your
elves to him and his cause. join with
rrethren Of any name in work for him
nd, following the apostles advice,
reach Christ crucifed and avoid fool
