pretty little boy two and half years of age.
 Humes behavior was so peculiar that the police thought it advisable to arrest him and he was eventually taken to an insane asylum. In that institution he is still detained and has become so violent that he has had to be placed in a padded cell Soon after Hume's detention the po- lice were notorfied that his wife a young woman of twenty seven had not been seen since Sunday last and when the shop was searched she was found dead under the floor, fully dressed in street costume with a rope tied around her neck The police surgeon declares that there is a reason to believe that though she was probably unconscious when thrust into the pit her insane husband had dug, she may have recovered consciousness and have realized her terrible posi- tion before she expired.

WOODWARD WILL SUE
 CITY OF PINE BLUFF
Man to Whom City Council Refuses to Remit Fine Declares That He Will Fight Case in the Circuit Court,

W. w. Woodland. through his at todney, $ J. Hunt, will file suit Mon day against the City of Pine Bluff to recover $25 fine assessed against him in the city police court in July, 1907, and which the city council de clines to return to him. At the last mee ting of the city's legislative body the police committee recommended that the money be not refunded.
 Woodland was arrested on a charge of breaking the Sabbath, 1t being al- legged that he kept his grocery and meat market open on Sunday. He went into police court and entered plea of guilty and paid the s25 fine. Later he appealed the case to the circuit court and Judge Grace ruled that there was not sufficient evidence to convict He threw the case out of court Woodland then demanded his money returned, but the council re- fused to issue orders directing that it be remitted He will now sue to re- cover it.

Ministers of England
 Have Healing Powers

London, Dec. l2.--Not to be sur passed by Christian scientist and to show that the minister of the church of England possess the same healing powers as the followers fo Mrs. Eddy, the Bishop of London has decided to appoint a Central Church Council" in London for the consideration of questions connected with the healing by spiritual means. The idea is to appoint a council which will have influence not only with believers but with men of science as we'll. The council will strictly investigate cases of faith healing and report on them for the benefit of others. One of Lon don's best known female physicians, Miss E. M Reed, M. D., who is now specializing in mental and spiritual healing and who is collaborating with eminent medical authorities, is on the point of opening house for spirit ual healing which will at the same time be in harmony with the teaching of the Church of England and will have several leading physicians as constituents Speaking of Mrs. Eddy and her followers, Dr. Reed said :: Christian Science absolutely fails to recognize physical laws. It is based on the knowledge, that mental states control to large extent physical con- ditions. That is true, but 1t is not the whole truth. You cannot cure by suggestion alone, neither can you cure without it. The principle of the new movement is same combination of the powers of faith and exact medical knowledge applied to the problems of healing"

MOS POWERFUL
 GUNS IN THE WORLD

London. Dec. 12.-The most power ful gun ill the world, capable of send ing to the bottom of the sea, any battleship in existence with a single shot has been constructed for the British Admiralty by Vickers, Sons and Maxim and is to be mounted on the recently launched battleship Col lingwood and her sister ships, St. Vim cent and Vanguard. The gun which is 51 1-2 feet long and weighs mount ed nearly 66 tons. The projectile of $50 lbs will have muzzle velocity of 301O foot seconds and q muZzle energy of 534000 foot tons, which means that at distance of 5000 yards it will penetrate P inches of wrought iron, while the most power full gun possessed by any other navy will at the same distance be able to go through only 16 inches of iron. The fire delivery possibilities of the new guns are extraordinary. During the proving tests two guns mounted, in one turrent got off eight rounds in two minutes and four guns mount ed ill two turrents got off sixteen rounds in two minutes, forty-tive se- conds with full service charges.

Three Young White Men Charged With the Commission of OutragcS Against the Family of a Poor Man Residing Year Cartcr>,iilc.

Thumasvillc, Ga, Dec. ll.-That q band of drunken ruffians entered the home of !. A. Gibson, three miles from Cartersvili, Saturday night, and per petrated a series of dastardly out ragcs upon the members of that fam fly, including the shooting of Mrs Gibson and criminal assault upon Liz zie Hardy a 16-year-old girl who lived with the Gibson family, is the substance of charges contained In warrants issued for teh arrest of Bud Lanham, Steve Heath and Tom Col Tier, three well known young white men of this county Lanham and Col Her have been placed in jail and eff forts are being made to capture Heath
 It is charged that the three men went to the Gibson home Saturday night, and after being refused admit tance, one of them emptied the con tents of a revolver into the house, ono of the balls entering Mrs. Gib- soin's back and dangerously wounding her. The husband ran out to sum anon officers and the three men, it is said, entered the house. with drawn revolvers, threatened the lives of Mrs. Gibson and her children and then two of the men dragged Miss Hardy out of the house and 1t is alleged, assaulted her.
 Following threats received by the Gibson family, who are in extremely poor financial circumstances, Judge Fite today took steps to protect them. Indignation Is high against the allcg cd perpetrators of these outrages.

GOVERNMENT WORK
 WILL BEGIN MONDAY
First Work Along the River Front Will be Done at the Mouth oi Hard ins's Drain-Sand Bar Formin. Back of Court House.

Government crews. sent here tO rt- dykes along the river front will be- gin work Monday at the mouth of Hardng's drain. between Louisiana and Virginia streets. Immediate work there is said to be more neces" sary than at any other point along the river. in view of the fact that the current of the river is striking the south bank at that point New revetments will be placed there and dykes constructed to defect the cur rent Another rise might come down the Arkansas at any time and the government work will be pushed.
 X fine sandbar, that will be helpful to the bank there. is forming in the river in the rear of the Jefferson county court house. Hotel Jefferson and at the side of Berlin Brothers property. The river continues to fall rapidly and no caying resulted yes terday.
 At the expense of the county and for tth protection of the court house annex, which was left standing on the edge of the river bank, revtt ments are already being placed di .rectly behind the court house Large mattresses, heavily laden with rock. are being sunk at that point. This work is Icing done to guard against any further trouble in the event an other rise comes unexpectedly. Pil $ vii lbe driven there as soon as the revetments are installed

London, Dec. 12.-A most gruesome discovery was made in a suburb of London the other day when the body of a woman buried head downward
 was found under the floor of a tail- or's shop The body was recognized as that of Mrs, Hume, wife of the owner of the shop, and the coroner's physician stated that the unfortunate woman had been strangled and that she was evidently not dead when fore ed into her grave. A pathetic chain of incidents led to the terrible dis covery. On Monday the occupant of the shop, George Hume. a man of forty seven was found wandering about the streets with his son, a

 ing.
 The recent complete destruction of the local wharf and boat landing on East Barraque street. makes it neees- sary that the city provide another boat landing somewhere along the river front and the matter is now be- ing discussed. The steamers Mary Lu- cas- and A. D. Allen recently arrived with shipments of seed and other freight from the State Farm at Cum mins and considerably trouble was experienced in unloading their car goes. It is stated that unless the city furnishes landing that seed, cotton and other shipments from the lower landings will be shipped to other points.
 Mayor Toney said yesterday that in view of the fact that the Arkansas River Packet Company still has some land left at tre foot of Tennes- see street, that in all probability an- other landing would be established there. Shippers, however, favor changing the landing to another point near the business section. The com mon at West Pullen and Walnut streets would make an ideal landing for steamboats and would be conver- tent to both cotton scales and paved downtown streets. This property, it is said, can be purchased at reason able price and the landing may be moved there. A large warehouse could easily be erected on nearby lots and the location would be an ad' mirable one for the new wharf

VOTING MUNICIPAL EXPENDITURES.

The Michigan constitutional conven-
ton which has about concluded Its
labors, has been in the main very
conservative body, perhaps too con-
sentative to suit those who believe that
present day statesmen, in the light of
experience and progress, should be able
to contribute some new and better
ideas of government. One provision,
however, if not modified, will strike
most people as neither wise nor con-
sentative and certainly not progress
sive. 1t refers to municipal ownership
of public utilities and expenditure for
municipal improvements. 1t says:
Nor shall any city or village ac-
quire any public utility, grant any pub
lie utility franchise, borrow any mon
ey or contract any debts beyond ! per
cent of the assessed valuation of amy
such city or village, unless such prop
osition shall have first received the
affirmative vote of a majority of the
electors who have property assessed
for city or village taxes voting thereon
at regular municipal election"
Under the provision the expenditure
of any sum over l per cent of the as
sessed valuation is left in the hands OF
the property owner, the non property
owner having no voice in the matter
The intention is undoubtedly to check
municipal extravaganza, but it is man
ifestly unfair to deny the right of the
indirect tax payer to voice in the de-
cision OF questions affecting his well
fare.
The fact that citizen does not own
property does not imply that he does
not contribute in some measure to the
support of government Every citizen
is indirectly tax payer. The prop
erty owner is visibly affected to
larger extent, and for this reason is
apt to oppose public improvements.
To place the restrictions proposed IN
Michigan upon municipal expenditures
would mean to retard the progress of
known fact that the property owners
most visibly affected thereby are the
ones most apt to defeat them. On the
other hand, the indirect tax payer, be-
ing less visibly affected, takes
calmer and more unprecedented view Of
the situation. 1t would seem that
Whether majority vote or two-thir
vote is required for such expenditures.
that all the Qualified voters should be
allowed to express their sentiment at
the polls.
