DISCIPLINE " REFORMATORLES.

The revelations which have been made con

reforms in that institution. for which there is
obvious need. They viii proha bly, also give rise
10 a large amount of more OF less hysterical

In the whole complicated mechanism Of human
government there is no more difficult problem

Plantation for Rent

We desire to make five year con- tract on a place as desirable from every standpoint as <he best farm in the Little Rock district cotton lands.
 There are 1500 acres in the tract, 900 of which are in high state of cultivation. The place is thoroughly ditched and is clean all over. It is above the highest overflow, without levee. Soil is mostly rich, sandy loam varied occasionally by a mix ture of sandy and stiff soil.
 Gin, press and engine comparative ly new. There is an attractive cot tage for lessee. The tenants houses are probably the best in the district.
 There is railroad station on the place, and it is also reached by about 10 miles of pike out of Little Rock.
 The place is we'll stocked with live stock and implements, which must be purchased by the lessee. Likewise the lease must be made by a financial |ly responsible person, or must carry strong endorsement.
 Any one with money. who does not own his own place, will, we believe, find this great opportunity.

WINS ON sPL1CED. WOODEN LEG.
Farmer Catches Four Despite Break
 of His Timber Support.

Greenwich, Aug 5.-Nathan Sel- lick, a farmer of Banksville,, turned over to the police Monday four boys who, he says, raided his early apple orchard.
 The four hoys, Charles Johnson. 12; Luke Smith, 12; Arthur Forbush, 13, and Samuel Wells, IA, Sellick says, were in one of his trees Monday morning when he saw them.
 Mir Sellick has only one leg, having lost. one in the battle of Antietam, but he makes pretty good speed on an oak leg. Sellick was almost up to the trees when the boys slid to the ground and fled. Sellick went after them at surprising speed, but just as he was about to reach for the near est his wooden leg went into hole and snapped of. Selick went to the | ground and rolled in an agony oi rage and chagrin while the boys halt ed to jeer him.
 The old man was fuming with an ger, when an inspiration struck him Pulling heavy piece of twine from his pocket he started to splice the wooden leg and before the boys knew what he was doing he was uI again and had captured Wells, wht
 was the leader. The others, seeing Wells's plight, surrendered.

BRAIN SPACE EMPTY.
Infant Cried and Took Nourishment Case Believed to Be Unique.

New York, Aug 5.-As a refuta- ton of the axiom that no human being can live without brain the physicians of Bellevue hospital are citing the case of Marie Giacomo. who died at the institution last night at the age of forty hours. An au- topsy revealed the fact that she had come into the world practically brain- less.
 The child when seven hours old was taken to the hospital by her father, Leonardo GiacOmo, strap ping Sicilian, 32 years old, who lives at No 210S Second avenue. He ex- plained that he would have taken the infant to the hospital sooner but that its mother had refused him per- mission.
 He said further that he had brought the child for treatment be- cause there was something wrong with its head and he wanted the doctors to remedy the defect.
 When the child was unwrapped from voluminous cloths 1t was a most startling sight. Its head and face resembled nothing so much as frog. it's head was almost flat on top and its eyes stood out from their sockets.
 It was, however. breathing normal ly and cried as an ordinary infant does. Unlike most infants less than a day old. 1t took nourishment greed fly.
 It was thought at the hospital that the shape of the child's head was a malformation, and that possibly the soft bones of the skull would respond to a slow moulding process that i would restore the head to normal l shape. It was not dreamed that the infant was wholly without brain | matter.
 Dr Tweedell. who is a British army surgeon has tended hundreds of ab- normal children among the natives of India. was put in charge of the case. As the child was SO healthy in other respects he had every hope of success.
 Monday night. however. the child died while it was being fed. There was nothing to indicate approaching death, and no struggle Simply the infant ceased 10 breathe. An autopsy revealed that beyond a rudimentaFy ceTebrum. that wal | scarcely more than an indication. the infant had absolutely no brain. The doctors declare that there s not an other case of a human being living 1 without a brain known 10 science.
