Will Appeal to Highest Court.
Special to the News.

Special to the News.
 Little Rock, June S-The Rock Island Railroad company has given notice that it will appeal the now celebrated Three Brakeman Law" to the United States Supreme Court, and Dep, uty Clark Harry Campbell is now preparing the transcript in the case, for transmission to Washington City. The case was decided in the Supreme Court a week ago, adversely to the Rock Island. The company was prose- cuted in the circuit court of Sa- line county, and there convicted of failure to maintain three brakeman on freight trains com posed of as many as p cars. The law was passed by the last legis- lature, and was known as the Goodwin Bill. It was introduced by State Senator William $. Goodwin, of Warren, and was championed in the Senate by him. In the house it met consi- derable opposition, but was pass ed. The Rock Island appealed the case to the Supreme Court, and its general attorneys, Buz- bee & Hicks, argued the case be- fore that tribunal, while Prose cutting Attorney Lewis Rho- ton represented the States interests. In the Supreme Court of the United States Mir. Rhoton will also represent the state.
 General Superintendent M. W. Whittenton, of the Rock Island, with headquarters in this city, has announced that pending the decision of the Federal Supreme Court, he has issned instr uc. tion to all concerned, to operate the three brakeman as provided by.the state law. The Iron Noun tain, through it's general super intendent, ". J. Mckee of this city, has also announced that his line will obey the law until tested in the highest court. The Cotton Belt also agreed before the Rock Island case was heard, to abide by the decisions of the Arkansas Supreme Court, and therefore all trains operated in Arkansas on the Cotton Belt will carry three brakemen, until the case has been heard by the Federal justi- ceS.
 This ruling means that more than lUO men Will be felnStated in the service of the three rail roads, in Little Rock, alone, while Memphis, Van Buren, Hoxie, Pine Bluff and other cities, will be benefited also. The brotherhood of Railroad Train men are delighted with the de- cision of the management of the systems in this regard, and de- clare that they are perfectly sat fled that the United States Su- preme court will sustain the de- cision of the Arkansas tribunal.

From That State.
FAIL TO MAKE IMPRESSION
Johnson Boomers vainty Endeavor to
Obtain Endorsement of the
Minnesota Candidate.

Springfield, ILL.,, April 24.-The Il1i-
nois Democracy adopted the unit rule
and instructed its delegates to the
national convention at Denver to vote
for William j. Bryan and to use all
honorable means to secure his nomi-
nation
After hot fight in the resolutions
committee, which was carried into the
convention, the party adopted plat
form plank declaring in favor of the
greatest possible personal liberty" to
individuals, provided such liberty did
not infrange upon the rights of other
people.
Instead of naming the usual four
delegates and alternates at large to
the national convention, it was decid-
ed to send eight, allowing each man
one-half vote Two presidential
electors at large were also chosen.
The resolution endorsing Mr.. Bryan
was adopted with enthusiasm and a
fattering demonstration followed the
action. When his name was men
toned there was invariably great APP
plause, and the reading of the resolu-
ton in his favor was greeted with
cheers.
Ten men from Chicago, headed by
Maxwell Edgar of that city, brought
the boom for Governor Johnson of
Minnesota to the Democratic state
convention. They at once opened
their campaign and conducted it in
refined, considerate sort of way No
headquarters were opened, but the
ten men distributed vast amount of
Johnson literature and set forth the
merits of their candidate with all the
ability at their command.
They made no impression, however,
on the mass of delegates, and the con
yention organized with the delegates
enthusiastic for Bryan.

New Orleans, April 25.-The dead
1000; these are the grim facts which
came to light when a little of the
wreckage OF the tornado In Louisiana,
Mississippi and Alabama had been
cleared away. The tornadoes lasted
altogether about twelve hours, strik-
ing promiscuously one town after the
other. Many hours after they struck
trains bearing nearly 200 injured came
crawling cautiously out OF the tor
nado districts, leaving behind them
one town, Purvis, Miss, utterly de-
molished, five others practically blown
away and fifteen little villages in
more or less acute stages of ruin.
With these wounded came the details
OF one OF the worst wind disasters in
the history of the Gulf states.
First OF all it became known that
negroes comprised most of the dead,
that the picturesque darby cabins,
noted for their fiimsy, happy go lucky
construction, had been converted by
the wind into wholesale death traps.
1t was in the fall of these cabins,
which went down almost without
warning, that most of the negro deaths
occurred. These always overcrowded
cabins also furnished most OF the
badly wounded

house, the only other building in town
