ate counsel for the defense i'm tho
| Haywood trial, spent all of Wednes-
day in exhortins the jury TO pay not
attention to the evidence given by the
states witness. Darrow asserted
that Orchards religion is bogus and
marked the last step in his depravity.
Passing finally from his TRADE ups
on Orchard and Mcfarland, Mr..
Darrow began to discuss some OF the
evidence in the case, taking up the
troubles in the Occur d'Alene district
of Idaho in 1899.
He declared Steunenberg sowed the
seeds of more strife and struggle than
was ever sown by the governor of any
state down to the present time.
Law Of Might Rules.
There was no justification OF IT,
exclaimed the attorney. when such
course is taken by chief executive
of state it In high time that all gov
ernment should be submerged and the
only law be the law of might. There
is not a man living who can defend IL.
Doubtless Governor Steuncnberg felt
that what he did was the only thing
he could do. | am not here to discuss
him or his motives, but ] know that

With flaming words the attorney
pictured to the jury the differences
between the owners OF the mines and
smelters who rolled up their wealth,
and bought their way into the United
States senate In the blood of the men
who worked for them and the min
ers and smelter men, who. when
their days of usefulness, through age,
injury, or disability, were oyer, were
thrown out i'm the scrap heap to per-
ish and die.

Structures Now Being Erect
ed Not Enough to Meet
The Demand.
MUCH WILL BE INVESTED.
LARGE STORAGE AND ASSEM-
BLY, ROOM, 200 BY SO FEET, AND
A DIPPING BUILDING ARE IN
CLUDED.

Although the Hoosiar branch OF the
American Seeding Machine company
has already expended thousands of
dollars for new buildings in this city,
just as soon as the buildings now un-
der the course Of construction are
completed, three more new structures
will be started which will entail an
expenditure of several thousand dol
lars in addition to that already spent.
Among these buildings will be a
large storage and assembling room
which will be two hundred feet long,
fifty feet wide and three stories in
height. This building will be con-
structed on the same substantial lines
as have been all the other new build
ings at the plant In addition to the
storage and assembling room, a dip
ping building and an extra storage
building will be erected. These
buildings are still being planned and
therefore the officials of the company
have not as yet positively decided on
the size. However, they will be put
up along lines corresponding to others
at the plant.
BY December First.
The Hoosier officers expected to
have all the buildings now under
course of construction, done by Sep
tember /, but it is hardly probable
that the contractor on the job will be
able to do this The officers of the
company do not expect all to be in
readiness for occupancy until Decem-
ber /.
The huge tank at the factory, which
supplies the water for the automatic
apparatus, and which is
used in case of fire, is now being torn
away and new tank will be erected.
The old tank was struck by lightning
recently and it is largely for this reas-
on that the new one will be placed so
soon. The old reservoir held 10000
gallons of water but the new one will
have a capacity of $4,000 gallons.
This tank will be the largest in the
city and most substantial as 1t will be
entirely of steel. This
will give the large plant excellent fire
protection in addition to the city
water mains.

4 GOOD SHOWING.

At the regular meeting of the city
council Monday night City Clerk Lee
submitted report showing the total
outstanding Indebtedness OF the city
at this time o be only $94,739.S3.
This the Graphic regards as a SPLEEN
did financial showing, especially n
view of the great number OF I'M
proyements of the last few years, in
Guiding the storm sewers and the
paved streets. While we have not
the statistics before us, nevertheless
the Graphic believes that an investi-
CATION would reveal that the municl-
pal Indebtedness of Pine Bluff IN
proportion to population is much less
than in cities of similar class
throughout the country. At all events,
the fiscal statement shows that Pine
Bluff is in healthy financial condi-
ton, and in excellent shape to take
on the construction, operation and
ownership of a municipal light and
water plant.

COURT SAFE BLOWN;
RECORDS DESTROYED
Miscreants Enter County Offices mt
Harrison and Make Away With
Indictments Reported by
the Last Grand Jury.

Harrison, May 1.-THE office OF
the circuit clerk was burglarized
at this place last night and the vault
door blown off and all the indict-
ments and other papers in criminal
cases were destroyed. There was Il
piece of fuse found in the office.
The burglars entered the office
by breaking a window and reaching
in and pulling a bolt from above
the sash.
They tore the leaves from the
record of indictments and destroyed
the jury lists for the next term OF
the court. There were no very serr-
Gus indictments found at the last
term of the court and people are at
a loss to locate the guilty party No
other records were molested. Judge
Hudgins probably will call q special
term of the court and have the jury
commissioners to select a jury for
the regular term.
This is the thi.d time this offense
has been committed in this county,
within the last few years and people
are solicitous that the guilty party
be Appreciated and brought to
justice.

A WORM IN
MULE'E EYE

A freak OF nature in the form of
a worm in a mules eye was exhib-
tied on the Pine Bluff streets today.
The mule is owned by Alex Ander-
son, a negro who is employed on
one of Charles Wells places south
of the city. The worm was first
noticed in the mules eye about
week ago. 1t is plainly visible and
can be seen squirming around in
the eye ball. The mule has been
made totally blind in the eye in
which the worm seems to enjoy life.

TESTS OF SUBMARINES.

Incident to the great naval
demonstrations at the jamestown
exposition, but of vast Importance
in the eyes of the military authori-
ties of the world, are the trials OF
the famous submarine boats, Lake
and Octopus. Within the period of
a few years the submarine has es-
tablished itself as an essential fac
tor in naval warfare and today the
nations of the earth are wing with
cath other to produce the most
practical vessel Of the submergible
type. The tests which are to be
made at jamestown will determine
the type that is to be adopted by
the United States government, and
as so much depends on the issue
the makers of the two competing
craft are in desperate earnest.
When we consider to what per-
lection the modern sea-fighting ma
chine has been developed, says an
exchange, it is scarcely conceivable
that only 100 years have elapsed
since Robert Fulton applied steam
to boat propulsion, and it is OF
more significance in the present
consideration to remember that
Fulton invented a submarine boat
before he built his first steamboat.
But, while many experiments in
building and navigating submarines
were made during the early years
Of the age Of steam, it was not
until 1895 that the American naval
department turned to this type OF
vessel with serious intent to develop
it to a point of ultimate utility. I'm
der Whitney's administration as
secretary of the navy the Plunger
was contracted for, and it was in
this famous boat that President
Roosevelt made his descent into the
sea last summer. But the Plunger
was superseded by the giant De-
topus, which is now considered the
most complete submarine in eX-
istence. Although the Lake was
built by rival concern and is
to give the Octopus sharp con-
test for supremacy it is believed
by the naval authorities that the
latter vessel viii! prove of greater
utility in the coming tests
Among the amazing feats claimed
by the builders of the Octopus are
these: She can travel /, 900 miles
above and below water to meet any
enemy, rising and diving EN- route
like a fish. When submerged her
officers may see what is going on
above and around them. She can
discharge a torpedo which no bat
tleship could withstand, once every
three minutes, G,.g

STEAMER BROWN
MAKES FAST TIME

The Steamer S. S. Brown, which
left this city Monday afternoon with
several thousand bales Of cotton,
reached Memphis late last night, max
ing a record breaking trip to the Ten
nessee metropolis. The steamer will
probaly lay up few days for repairs,
it being necessary to take her in to re-
pair the damage done to the boat SUR
day night when she was blown againsk
a pier of the railroad bridge at LittlV
Rock.

4 DASTARDLY DEED.

One of the most dastardly deeds
ever committed in the criminal an
nails of Arkansas took place at Nc
Gehee last Monday morning at 3
O'Clock when Sam Fleming was taken
from a calaboose and lynched. The
negro had committed no crime de-
serving such penalty. On Sunday
afternoon, it is related, Fleming and
a white saloon keeper named Vaughn
became involved in difficulty in
which the white man was worsted.
Fleming was arrested on the charge
of disturbing the peace and placed
in the calaboose. Monday morning
when the officers went for Fleming
they found the door Of the calaboose
had been removed and the prisoner
was gone. A search revealed the fact
that Fleming's body was dangling
from the limb of a tree. So quietly
was it done, says the report that not
even the girl in the telephone office
Just across the street from where
the negro was "lynched" knew of the
incident -
From the foregoing it will be seen
that Fleming was guilty of no great
er offense than a breach OF the peace
therefore, even if guilty, he could only
be fined under the law He had COM
mitted no felony; he had not COM
mitted the unspeakable crime for
which the punishment in the South IS
death He had only disturbed the
peace and Ahipped a white man, APP
parently no better than himself, and
for this he was "lynched.'
The affair does not partake OF the
dignity of "lynchins." In the opin-
ion OF the Graphic lynch-law is
sometimes Unsuitable. Hut this was
murder-cold blooded, unprovokad
and premeditatea murder-and the
parties guilty of it are murderers.
From the evidence at hand the deed
was the work of few men, actuated
purely by motives OF revenge and

that reflects upon the Cultivation OF
our State. 1t is such things as this
that bring the South into disrepute,
and causes our civilization and laws
oftentimes to become a by-word and
a reproach. AS the Graphic has
previously remarked, lynchng IS
sometimes justifiable, but murder
never. The officers of Desha county
should therefore be up and doing, and
endeavor to ferret out these Grim
inals. They doubtless would not be
very difficult to discover Such a
serious and unprovoked outrage upon
the laws of Arkansas should not be
permitted to go unpublished. Let the
prosecuting attorney and the sheriff
of Desha county do their duty and
show to the world that the people OF
Arkansas are law abiding and God
fearing people, and stand ready at

Divining Rod.

d. w. S. New York City,: Kindly
give me some information about the
witch hazel divining rod for locating
water; how it is made, used, etc.
AS usually employed, this device
consists of forked twig, held in
horizontal position in front of the
operator He grasps one ipsbf the Y
with each hand, and the main stem
projects before him. He walks to
and fro in search of hidden vein of
water, and 1t is said that when he is
over one the stem will bend down
ward. Though hazel was onse con-
sidered essential, some operators re-
port equally satisfactory results with
other wood, and even with wire. The
device does not work in everybody's
hands, and we do not wish to be un-
derstood as guaranteeing that it will
succeed in any ones. Nevertheless, a
few of the cases in which the divining
rod seemed to reveal water are now
fairly well attested. New York Tri-
