 George Layne of Argenta was Sat urday afternoon cleared of charges in connection with the death of Alex. Snyder, who died at Lonoke Friday night as the result of knife wounds inflicted by Layne Sunday, Nov. 1.
 We the jury find the deceased came to his death as the result Of wounds inflicted by a knife in the hands of George Layne and that the killing was justifiaEle," was the yer dict of the coroners jury after an in quest had been held by Coroner F. A. Corn. Immediately after the inquest a preliminary examination was held before Magistrate w E. Dempsey, at Lonoke, and Layne was formally freed of the charges.
 Layne's eXoneration was due chief ly to the testimony of Joe White, who accompanied Snyder and Layne on the hunting expedition from Argenta to Lonoke, and to the testimony of Layne himself.
 The testimony of 10th was that Shy der was the aggressor and that Layne would have been seriously injured or killed if he had not defended himself.
 Snydew, they said, who had been drinking, said he could "cut the - heart out of Layne' because the lat ter, he said, had gotten him to go on the trip under false pretense. Sny- der then rushed toward Layne, who ran around a wagon several times and then took refuge behind a tree There he was attacked by Snyder, whom he stabbed, inficting two wounds with his knife.

An Heroic Life.

The death of Edward Wetheril' ot Philadelphia recalls incidents of an sx' citing period of the nations history. MT. Wetherill, who was of the reli- gious persuasion known as Friends. or Quakers, was among the most promi- nent of the aboltionists who, years ago, worked to overthrow the "pecu- liar institution" of slavery. That he did much in aid of fugitives from slavery Is certain, says the Troy tN. V Times. He was born in Chalkley Hall. which Whittier immortalized in poems dealing with the occurrences of those days, and which was one of the stations on the famous under ground railway the secret route along which runaway slaves were helped to make good their escape from bondage. At these stations negroes were concealed from the own CTS and the authorities who sought them under the license given by the fugitive slave law The runaways were kept until the way seemed open to refugees farther north, the line extending even to Canada, where the negroes were beyond United States jurisdiction. In many cases. where it was considered safe to do so, the fugi- tives were furnished with employment in the neighborhood of the stations. It is stated that MT. Wetherill figured extensively in these proceedings for the relief of escaping slaves. Another interesting fact is that MT Wetherill was a grandson of Samuel Wetherill, who figures as the hero in the story of Hugh Wynne Free Quaker, per taininG to revolutionary times. The venerable MT. Wetherill though Quaker, seems to have received his militant spirit through inheritance from his ancestor.

ASKS KAISER ID RESIGN
EDITOR HARDEN MAKES A BOLD MOVE AND CREATES A SEN
 SATION.
Is THE GENERAL SENTIMENT
London Papers Article Followed by Won Buelow's Resignation.- Round Table" Man
 Again.

Berlin. Nov. 7.-The elimination of a week of protest against the errors of Emperor William came Friday in dar ing declaration by MaXimilian Harden, editor of Die Zukunft that the Kaiser either curb his tendency to engage in controversial politics or abdicate the German throne.
 The utterance is considered the bold est that eyer appeared in a German newspaper and produced tremend- ous sensation.
 It was Harden who. through articles published in his paper. exposed the ia nous Round Table" scandals, causing the dismissal of several of the favor ties of the Kaiser's court, including Count Cuno von Moltke and the Prince Du Eilenberg. Von Moltke's suit for libel followed this expose.
 soldest Ever Made.
 Hardens sensational attack on the Kaiser is the climax to the agitation that is sweeping the whole nation against the absolutism of the emperor. No criticism ever made against Ger man ruler approaches it in boldness.
 As proof that Harden only reflects the general sentiment, his attack is being widely quoted by papers over the empire. course that would not have been dared were the people not wholly in sympathy with the strictures made against the emperor. In part Harden says:
 Does the emperor desire to re- nounce the throne? His grandfather contemplated abdication in less seri ous crisis, and one that was not brought about by his own faults.
 The emperor must not be blind to are now against both him and his chancellor. Neither Chancellor von Buelow nor his successor can here after rest in office without a pledge from the emperor that he will limit his share in the government
 Future Germany must demand this. The House of Hohenzollern must de- mand it, too, in this cruelty grave hour. Otherwise it will be too late.
 \ month ago such a declaration in newspaper would have meant the severest punishment oI the editor, but it is considered improbable that the Kaiser will dare to move against Harden.
 Within the last week there have been 5000 articles in German news i papers protesting against the absolut- l ism of the emperor. He has been o"enly accused of being the whole nation, of overriding the other branch O. government and of being more autocratic than any cZar of Russia | ever dared to be.
 | The people are insisting that in the 1 future the emperor inspect the va rious provinces of his government and | Ceose meddling in everything that suits his whimsical nature. The situa | tion is absolutely unique in Germanys l history, and gives rise to possibilities 1 that the public month ago would not have dared to discuss.
