Triple Murder
CORONER BELIEVES sALLiANr
DID NOT ORIGINALLY INTEND
TO KILL DAUGHTER.

WHEELING. Jan. Coroner A.
w. Owen has been studying the triple
Tragedy 1t Barton Thursday and he
has reached the conclusion that Alex
Balliant did not intend TO XIII Pearl.
the sixteen year old stepdaughter, nor
did he expect to commit suicide. The
coroner believes that he intended to
murder his wife and escape but the
daughter fnterfered and fought so vi
ciousiy that he was compelled to at.
tack her and after injuriug her serf-
ously he must have thought 1t best
to complete the job BY \ killing the
girl.
After the first onslaught the girl
tried to reach the bolt lock on the
front door and 1t must have been
while she was working at this that
galltaat inflicted the fatal stab
wound In the back which penetrated
the. heart. While she was dragging
her body across the floor as shown
by the bloody hand prints Balliant
must have followed slashlng her
across the legs and ankles as she
went. 1t is shown that he had not
intended to shoot himself by the fact
that the shell which he fred into his
own breast was covered with blood,
He must have decided that the double
murder was too serious a crime the
murder was too serious crime for
him to escape and after killing the
two women loaded the gun. There
is blood all over the shell that was
exploded.

ator Gross will be called on next Tuesday, but tha: at that tine u ( case will be set for a day lals: in the term, which he said probably would be the second Wednesday,.
 Senator Gross is charged with bribery and also with perjury. He is alleged to have accepted bribe in connection with the pure food bill, which was introduced in the legislature two years ago. It is probable the bribery case will l,e tried first.
 The state, Prosecuting Attorney Rhoton stated, is ready to go to the trial of the case.
 The usual procedure in the Perry circuit court is to dispose of tl.e Perry county cases during the first week of the term. Although d month is allotted for the Februa y term of the court, it rarely ever hap pens that the term lasts more than two or three weeks.
 The case of the state against Will Gay, the negro charged with the murder of Charlotte Leetham, was set for February in the Perry cir cult court, but the order trans ferring it on change of venue was set aside yesterday by Judge Lea.

Cotter X Co.'S. Daily Cotton Letter.

New Orleans, La, Feb. Al though inactive, the market held it's own. As far as speculation is con- cerned, there is one feature particu- larly prominent at present and that is the general lack of confidence in spot developments. It is not only here that people look for decline in spot demand, but this belief is al- so expressed in correspondence from the interior. Whether such antici- patton is correct remains to be seen but as long as speculation is impress ed this way, the market for the next two or three weeks. when new crop news could come to it's assist ance, might be wanting in specula- tive favor and support.
 The into-sight figures for the week are somewhat smaller than calcu- lated owing to greater loss of stock at interior points. Receipts for the week at interior towns are consid- erably lighter than in past weeks and comparisons with other years are more favorable. This renewed hope for a drop in the movement next week and checked selling The spot market is quiet and steady, some demand but not pushing. Spot people are partly waitinig for the de- 1 o'clock. Visible supply figures this evening are not expected partic- ularly favorable. We compare with

 If you want to know how an aged, feeble, discouraged man or woman may be made active, cheerful and vigorous. read this letter:
 Mrs. Catherine Therer, of Albany, N. Y, writes: Six months ago l felt that was broken down by . age, and I was doomed to the weak |sand feeble condition of old people.

 Vinol is not stimulant which re- acts on the system, but it is a gen uine cod liver and iron tonic which in a natural manner makes rich red blood and replaces weakness with strength We wish every old person in Pine Bluff would try Vinol on our offer to return money if it fails, A. G. Bedel., Druggist.
 Note-While we are sole agents for Vinol in Pine Bluff, it is now for sale at the leading drug store in nearly every town and city in the country. Look for the Vinol agency in your town.
