Arkan- sas, attended the public schools during his boyhood, and after wards attended Hendrix Col lege, the Arkansas University, and the law department of Washington and Lee University of Virginia. Since returning from the law school, Mir. Nor wood has continuously engaged in the practice of his profession, and is known, throughout the state, as one of the brightest and ablest of lawyers. He has, also. been closely identified with the political interests of the state since his early manhood. He is now 36 years old, and was elected Representative from his home county when he was 21 years old, was a Worlds Fair Director in 1893, and in the year of 1894 was elected Pros ecuting Attorney of his District; to which office he was reelected in 1896.

Senator Davis has made ap-
 pointments for 57 speeches, to
 be made in Arkansas, in the in
 terest of W. F. Kirby for Gov ernor. While Senator Davis in-
 termeddling in State affairs is
 vigorously censured by many.
 there is not the least doubt in
 our mind but that his speech
 making tour will strengthen Kirby and add greatly to his chances of success. Senator Da- wis is a strong man with the masses, and it is foolishness to underate his power. Some peo- pie claim that he has lost his hold upon the people, but this is a delusion. He is the same Jeff. Davis today that he was two years ago. and when he goes be fore the people, on the stump
 they will flock out to hear him
 as they will no other man, and most of his old admirers vii again become enthused, ant vote just exactly as Davis asks them to vote.
 If Davis hadi~ stayed ava, from Arkansas the gubernation al race would have been betweer Hinemon and Donaghey. bui his coming into the field. in tn, interest of Kirby. will chang the situation, materially, an. the fight will be between Hine mon and Kirby. from now on Doneghey's main following ha been among the Davis people and just as sure as night follow. day a majority of these will change to the Kirby forces Donaghey. who has hitherto been up at about the top, vii rapidly go to the foot of the class. and Kirby will take his place in the list. The anti-Davis vote will, principally, be for Hinemon, with the remaining portion oft for McFarlane.

SEARS VERDICT SET ASIDE
Judge Thonas overruIes DouEIaa
County Court.

CENTRAL CITY. Neb. Aug. I5-A judg-
ment obtained before Judge Sears Of the
Douglas county district court was set
aside when Judge Thomas this week
handed down bis decision finding for the
plaintiff in the case OF Fred c. Ratcliff
against George Moore. Grace L. Moore and
Thomas H. Matters.
The case originally grew out Of a real
estate deal in which George W Moore
traded a drug stock in York county for
some land in Howard county. After the
deal was compfeted. Moore claimed the
land was not as represented. and brought
suit in the district court OF Douglas county
against Joseph A. HAYS. Fred C. Ratcliff
and W. c. Kerr. who had been involved
in the deal. The case was tried before
Judge Sears In Omaha in the spring Of
1907. and an instructed verdict given against
Mr.. Ratcliff alone for the sum Of $500.
Mr.. Ratcliff at once commenced suit to
have this claim set aside and his petition
set up some Interesting allegations.
He claimed that before the suit came on
for hearing in Omaha he had met George
W. Moore and his attorney. Thomas H.
Matters OF the firm Of Green. Breckinridge
q Matters Of Omaha, and settled any judg-
ment that might be obtained against him
" n u AADOTe a Nt IN SpTlDE
Valley precinct in Douglas county. H
claimed that he supposed that an agree
ment which both he and Moore had signed
was 10 this effect. and that confident that
he had settled all his liability in the case.
upon the assurance Of Matters who was
attorney for Moore. he had made no APP
p%earsnce when the case came on for hear
ing in Omaha However. he claims that he
was deceived by Matters representations
and that when the case was tried judgment
was entered against him by default because
he made no appearance or defense.
The case was tried before Judge Thomas
some time ago. but he did not hand down
a decision until he came up from Columbus
this week to hold a brief equity session
Of the court. In his decision the court held
that the contract signed by Ratchff and
Moore was not the true contract, and that
the true contract was that Ratcliff be re-
leased Of all liability for any Judgment
that might be obtained against him. and tbs
court therefore ruled that the contract
should be reformed as the plaintiff asked
and also ruled that the judgment against
the plaintiff should be satisfied and the
cloud upon HIS property removed.
