when the store was not open, and the books always kept up to date, the transcript of an appeal of the Home Fire Insurance Co. from a decision of the Madison Circuit Court, was filed ill the Supreme court yesterday af- ternoon. I. D. Driver, a merchant of Witter, Ark, secured a S1,000 fire and lightning policy from the defendant company, so the allegation of the con- plaint states, by the payment of $35, which was good for one year. During that year his store was burned and the stock totally destroyed He de- manded payment and it was refused on the ground that he had not kept an inventory, nor sales and cash book up to date. Driver brought suit in the Madison Circuit Court and was given verdict for $500, with interest from September 1, 1906. The store was burned in July.
 Friends of both Jesse c. Hart, re- gently appointed an associate justice of the Supreme Court to fill the va cancy caused by the death of Justice J. F. Riddick, and F. D. Fulkerson of Batesyille, judge of the Third judicial circuit. are laboring with Judge Fulk- erson to keep him from announcing for the office of associate justice, thus leaving the field open for Justice Hart.

What politician. Of this section look upon as significant move to- ward the rebuilding of the Clarke fences, has just been completed. Some days ago Charles Jacobson, private secretary to Jeff Davis from the time he entered the office of Attorney Gen. eral of Arkansas, dissolved his part nership with Senator Davis. He has moved across Louisiana from the Reigler building, where he had offices with Senator Davis, to the Relder building, where he has opened an of- flee in the compartments occupied by Senator Clarke. Jacobson was the right hand man of Jeff Davis in all Of his campaigns, and Davis now being safely ensconced in the United States Senate, and Senator Clarke having campaign coming on for re-election' 1t appears, as though Jacobson has been turned over to Clarke to act for hlm during the campaign.

altogether satisfactory for a role of
this nature. Elizabeth Hunt as the
virago wife of the inventor, was cast
badly, and did little to commend her.
Frank Edwards as William Nicholl,
with a role affording considerable OPP
Hportunity, found little in 1t. His read

Fay Lofty, the emissary of the textile
house, was attractive IN appearance.
and satisfying in her playing, which
was almost colorless.
The performance was thoroughly en-
joyed by two audiences, one at matinee
and one at evening. Ripple after rip
pie of laughter, and murmurs of deeper
appreciation were heard over the house.
