DISEASE HAS FREAKS
(Kansas City Journal.)


No medical man needs to be told
that even disease has it's freaks, and
that recovery has occasionally been
brought about by means inexplicably
trivial. One Of the most remarkable
Of these unaccOuntable eccentricities
Of disease took place at Halver, in
Westphalia. The case was that of a
boy who. as the result of q very heavy
fall backward on his head while skat-
ing, had for year and a half been
deaf and dumb. One morning his
brother went to awake him, and find
ing him sleeping heavily tapped him
lightly on the forehead. TO his amaze
ment the deaf and dumb boy awoke
with a loud cry. Both speech and
hearing had been restored.

Flynn, one of best known physicians in the city, stated today that there are not less than 2,000 cases of grip in bed in Little Rock at this time.

The idea that grip is contagious is now appar- ently generally accepted, and those affected are being isolated, so far as is possible.

COLD FLOODED MURDER
Cily Marshal Hamilton of Hope Shot
 Lasi Night by Negro.

our little city was thrown into quite lot of excitement by a telephone message from Hope that Marshal Hamilton had been shota few minutes before by the negro porter at the postffice, and that the murderer had escaped, coming in the direction of Prescott.
 Marshal Marsh at once placed a posse of extra policemen at the Southern end of the railroad yards, for the purpose of search ing all North bound trains, and every precaution was taken here to capture the murderer should he attempt to pass through or enter Prescott.
 The details of the murder are as follows:
 Will Green, the negro in ques- tion, and another negro, had a personal difficulty, and the latter had a warrant sworn out for Green, and placed in Marshal Hamilton's hands to serve. MT. Hamilton proceeded to the de- pot to arrest Green. When with. in few feet of the baggage room door, Green who was standing in the door stepped inside, and as the marshal entered, shot him through the left breast with 45 pistol. Two more shots were fir. ed, one entering Mr. Hamilton s leg, and the other one missed.
 Green then ran north, and was chased about two miles, when he entered a thicket close to the railroad track, and has since not been seen.
 Posses were immediately form. ed to go in every direction, blood hounds were secured, and every possible effort was put forth to capture the criminal. Green is a low, heavily built negro, black, small pox marked, with gold tooth in front with sleepy eyes, and is about 5 feet 6 in. ches high.
 We understand that the citizen shipof Hope is aroused to a frenz. ed pitch over the affair, and swift justice will be given Green should he be captured.
 MT. Hamilton, the murdered marshal was serving his second term at Hope, and was a popular official, fearless in this discharge of his duty, and courteous in his manner toward everybody.
 At 9:30 today the negro had not been caught. Dogs were put on the trail at 12 o'clock last night, but the chase was aban- doned this morning, without re- suits.
 A message was received at Hope at 10 o'clock this morning from Gurdon that the negro had been shot in the leg near Bierne by posse on north bound through freight, as it passed swiftly by him, as he stood near the right of way. He was instant y recognized, and when fired on the shots.
 A posse, headed by Joe Wood son and Jim Hicks, passed here on a special out of Hope at noon headed for the vi- cinity where the negro was shot, md hopes are now entertained that he will be captured before night
 The special, which was pulled

TO IGNORE DECISION
ARKANSAS RAILROAD COMMISSION
 IN CONFLICT WITH COURTS.
Declares That No Attention Will Be Paid To Opinion Of Federal Judge In The Rate
 Cases.

Little Rock. Ark, Sept 21.-The Arkansas Railroad Commission, 1t is announced, will ignore the recent de- cision of the Federal court at St. Paul Minn.. granting a temporary injunction against the commission putting into ef- feet certain passenger and freight rates in connection with the lines which are owned and operated by the trunk lines but operated under separ- ate and distinct management.
 The commission will assume that the various railroad companies allied to the trunk lines are in no wise affected by the decision of the St. Paul judge and the later decision by Judge Jacob Trieber at St. Louis.
 The commission contends that h has right to maintain regulation over the controlled roads in regard to rates until a separate injunction has been granted to each.
 The judicial decision, the commission appears to insist, does not cover these roads and inasmuch as the organiza- under sufficiently distinct management, the attitude taken by the regulative body is believed to be warranted.
 The roads upon which the unexpected stand has been taken are the Arkan- sas and Louisiana Railroad, the Arkan- sas Central Railroad. the Arkansas Southwestern, the Arkansas Midland, the Flo Dorado and Bastrop, the Cur don and Fort Smith. the Little Rock, Monroe, Mississippi. Hamburg and Western, the Pine Bluff and Western. the Brinkley, Helena and Indian Bay.

 Today's discussion was along the lines of securing better methods. Mir. Murray in his speech said. that some of their reports to him indicated that few examiners do not realize the obligations of the office and indicated hurried work. said examiners should call on a committee of two or three members from the board of directors to go over the entire discounts of the bank with the examiners, that the examiners must be ready to accept as- signments anywhere in the United States. and that If you are unable to discover the true condition of a bank do not send excuses, simply send in your resignation and your commission for cancellation"

SECRETS LAID BARE
NIGHT RIDER CONSPIRACY UN.
 FOLDED IN COURT,
Thrilling Testimony About . Proposed Raid On the City of CIarks- ville Is Brought
 Out.

Clarksville. Tenn, Sept 21--An ai- legged night riders conspiracy with all It's secret signs, signals, pass words. etc. was laid bare today for the first time to a Tennessee court when four confessed night riders from Marshall, Caldwell and Galloway Counties. Ken lucky. were put on the stand by the defense in the Gardner-Hunt trial
 The jury was not allowed to hear the testimony and the defense only in troduced 1t in order to complete the record.
 The connection with the case was made when several of the night riders said that General Amos. the head Of the night rider elan, now said to bc in hiding, had received information of the killing the afternoon after it occurred and that he communicated to several lodges the fact that one of the broth CTS had been killed. several wounded aud two horses killed.
 It was also stated that it had been planned to raid clarksville and one of the witnesses testified that he had been twice solicited by the captain of his lodge to join in a raid on this place. 1t being planned to bring a thousand men from this section to do the work.
 The proposed raid fell through, ac- cording to the testimony, on account of the fact that surrounding rivers and close guard on the few accessible roads made it almoss impossible to get in when strong effort was made to prevent 1t.
 The testimony introduced along this line was by far the most thrilling and sensational yet brought out in the trial.

Nominee Makes Plain Talk To Bushes.
 Men.

Men.
 Elkton. Md. Sept. 21--"Men engaged in law violation are today seeking to draw to them the square dealing country and to hold those interests up between themselves and the wrath of the people"
 John w. Kern. the Democratic vice presidential candidate thus described the business situation as he declared exists under republican rule in a speech In Mechanics Hall. here tonight
 Governor Brothers was he host of Mir Kern and preceded him with q brief introductory address.
 Mir. Kern said one of his missions on this speaking tour was to have a plain talk with business men of Maryland; i; that he desired particularly to talk to those business men who were engaged in legitimate business. relying upon their own exertions and capacity and not looking to the government for special favors.
 All such men, he declared. were in- terested in the success of the Demo- cratic party ticket this fall for the reason that the Democratic party stands for correct business methods and is pledged to no measure that would be inimical to the business interests of the country. All such men. he said, ought to be interested in purging the business world from illegimate busi- ness ventures.
 , So-called business men he said, en- gagged in business fin violation of the law, whether under the guise of trusts or combinations. and most of them who are the beneficiaries of special privi- leges are to be found on the other side.
 The Democratic party calls upon all men engaged in lawful business to separate themselves from those en- gagged in business in violation of law

PITTSBURG MENACED
 BY CONTINUED DROUGHT

Pittsburg, Pa, Sept. 21.-The drought which has brought hardships to all sections of Western Pennsylvania dur Ing the past few weeks is now menac- ing Pittsburg in a serious form.
 The city is in no danger of an actual famine of water, for the complete dry ing up of the rivers which feed the city's reservoirs is not within the realm of probability. There Is, however, im- minent danger of epidemics of typhoid fever and other deadly scourges, d. rectly due to the low stages of the rivers and the concentration of germs and other poisonous substances in the small volume of water now flowing through the river beds.
 The new filtration plant greatly minimizes the danger but the situa- tion is still 80 grave that both munich pal and Federal authorities have is- sued warnings against the use of water for domestic purposes, as it flows through the pipes and urging the boiling of every bit used and the storing of 1t in sterilized vessels.
