DISMISSED,
 REARRES1ED
On a Charge of Assanlt With Intent to Kill A.
 H. Joyner.

Little Rock, Ark, Aug. 52. - At the request of Prosecuting Attorney Roy Campbell yester- day, the charge of assault with intent to kill, in the court of Jus tice Rankin against C. A. McMi- chael, was dismissed. McMich- ael was almost immediately re- arrested on a similar charge by Deputy Runrels, and will be given a hearing before Justice D. Meisner. The reason for the transfer was given by prescott ing attorney, MT. Campbell. that he could not get trial before Justice Rankin that would be fair to the state. When McMi- chael was arraigned before Jus tice Meisner, he waived examin- ation to the grand jury. It is al- legged by the officers the attorney for McMichael ran A. B. Joyner. the prosecuting witness, out of the city last night, and an ac- quittal was to be. rendered by Justice Rankin, and the move of the prosecuting attorney for stalled such a movement. Joy. ner and McMichael had a fight behind a saloon recently, and when Joyner attacked him with a stick, he was met with a se- were slash across the throat, which came near ending his life. The officers are now trying to locate Joyner to bring him back to testify in the higher court.

ALEXANDRA
 BANS SHEATH
Smart Society Women of England Will Not Therefore Wear tic ImmOdest
 DirectOire or Sheath Gown, Since
 the Queen DenOunceS Them.

London, July 17.-What is known as the directoire or sheath gown will be confined in England to actresses and women of the flower classes. No woman in London society will dare wear the clinging clothes which have created such sensation on the contl- nent. When the directoire mode first made it's appearance, several English society leaders received it kindly and for a time the sheath gown was in high favor. Now it is back to the moth balls or the second hand clothes men for these daring gowns. For Queen Alexandra has spoken, and what she said in regard to the direc- toire mode was, in American slang, a plenty.
 Her Majesty has caused it to be known that any woman wearing a pronounced directoire will not be re- ceived at court functions. The queen told her ladies in waiting that the new gowns are immodest and caused a caustic warning to be conveyed to a certain titled lady distinguished for lher beautiful figure who displayed it lat Ascot in directoire sheath. The ladies in waiting have been also com- manded to notify other titled women of her majesty,s displeasure with the revealing directore costumes.
 At a big ball three ladies wearing these emphatic gowns could scarcely make their courtesies to the queen, and at supper they found much diff culty in sitting down. So displeased was the queen at this unpleasant eX- hibition that she expressed her inds- nation openly and left the ball before supper was ended.
 As a result of her majesty's decls- ion. many smart society women with good figures are nursing secret rage The fat women and the scrawny ones. are eXultant. and declare that the queen did well to put the ban of her displeasure upon such "imModest and vulgar displays of the figure as afforded by the sheath gown.

Plantation for Rent

We desire to- make five year con- tract on place as desirable from every standpoint as the 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 foam 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 a 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 a strong endorsement.
 Any one with money, who does not own his own place, will, we believe, find this great opportunity.

eczema of a very bad form. He treated
her, but the disease spread to her back,
and then the whole of her head was
affected, and all her hair had to be cut
off. The pain she suffered was excru-
ciating, and with that and the heat
and tingling her life was almost un.
bearable. Occasionally she was deliri-

little relief as the first. Then / pur-

the disease was gone. 1t really seemed

Minot, N. D., Oct. ia fire con-
sumed Edward Ives house, two miles
from Balfour, at l p. m. Saturday and

A passing farmer saw the blaze and
pulled the elder child out of the win
dow, but not until its clothing was
nearly burned off.
It's condition was such that the
youngest babe was lot thought of.
The wind was blowing a gale. A Rus
sian laborer was watering stock at
the barn near the house and did not
see the fire until the house was en-
veloped in flames. He then ran about
crying over the loss of a shotgun
which was in the building.
Mr.. Ives was formerly foreman of
one of the big valley farms near Far
go. His family consisted of his wife
and five children, three of whom were
at school at the time Of the fire.

MOTHER sHERRARD's MEMORIAL.
Historical Society Urges the Placing

New State Capitol.

Historical Society Urges the Placing
of a Life Size Bronze Tablet in the
New State Capitol.
historical society, is urging the plac-
ing of a memorial in the new state
capitol to the late Elizabeth Sherrard.
Mr.. Robinson says:
"One morning a friend found Mrs.
Sherrard at her lCgular morning du-
ties. An infant lying upon her lap
was receiving it's morning bath, an
other lay upon a pillow at her feet
awaiting its turn and a blind baby
was clinging to her skirts. A snap
shot of the scene was secured, and a
more effective subject for a piece of
enduring statuary could not be con-
ceived.
1T is proposed to have a life sized
bronze tablet made by dorado Taft,
The well known sculptor, of this scene
in has relief. The expense of the
work will not be beyond the ready
contributions of the thousands of
friends of Mother Sherrard in South
Dakota, and it is desired that every
one who desires may have a part in
this memorial. Perhaps fifteen hun
bred or two thousand dollars will be
required. Col. E. P. Farr, cashier of
the National Bank of Commerce,
Pierre, has consented to act as treas
urer of such a fund, and to him all
subscriptions may be sent. l trust
there is some on in every community
in South Dakota who will take up this
matter and collect the willing gifts
of the people who will be only too
happy to contribute"
