 Term.

Mammoth Spring, Aug. 12.- In the presence of more than 5000 people at the Blue and Gray Reunion here this after noon Governor Donaghey an nounced for the first time that he would stand for reelection and threw down the gountlet to prospective opponents.

An Early Morning Blaze.

This morning about 3 o'clock fire destroyed the residence of c. B. Moon, together with the contents.
 The origin of the fire is un- known, but it is supposed to have been set on fire, as Mr. Moon was in Hot Springs and had been for ten days, and Mrs. Moon was visiting in Philadelphia.
 When discovered, the building was too far gone to save anything and all efforts were put forth to save the house of Will Steel ad. joining. This latter building was saved, but all the furniture was removed. so certain did it's destruction seem. Mr. Steele and his family were also away from home at the time.
 It is not known whether there was any insurance on the de- stroyed property or not.

THAW'S FIGHT FOR
 FREEDOM IS VAIN
Justice Mills Declares lis Release Would Be Dangerous to the Public
 Peace and Safety

White Plains, N. Y., Aug. 12.- Harry K. Thaw's latest attempt to gain his liberty met with com plete defeat today when Supreme Court Justice Isaac N. Mills dis missed the writ of habeas corpus and declared that "the release of the petitioner would be danger ous to the public peace and safe ty."
 The signing of an order send ing Thaw back to Matteawan, a formality which is scheduled to take place tomorrow morning in Justice Mills chambers at Mount Vernon, is all that remains to complete the failure of this last appeal to the courts.
 There is no crumb of comfort for Thaw in the 1000 word opin- ion handed down by Justice Mills today. All the contentious of his other adversary, District Attor- ney Jerome, are supported, and it is declared that Thaw is still insane, still suffering from per sistent delusions, and still as much a paranoiac as on the day he shot Stanford White. The or der for Thaw's recommitment will be presented to Justice Mills tomorrow morning by Deputy Ezra P. Prentice and Attorney MOrschauser will then have a chance to oppose it or strive for a modification.
 Thaw, waiting in the White Plains jail at the rear of the court house where the decision was filed, received the news with an outward calmness which appear ed, however, to be more forced than real. The members of his family and his attorney seemed stunned by the thoroughness of their defeat. Thaw declined to give out any extended statement, contenting himself with the as sertion that he was not disheart- ened and would at once continue his fight for liberty.
 My next effort" he said, will be centered upon the Court of Appeals, through which I expect to secure a hearing before jury in my effort to have my commit ment to Matt eawan set aside. y

Mrs Maud Hamilton Christopher

The Ladies' Aid Society of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church of Prescott suffered an irreparable loss in the passing away of Mrs. Maud Hamilton Christopher who died June 18th, 1909, leaving a husband, father and son with numberless friends to mourn her loss.
 To know Mrs. Christopher best was to love her most to have come within the zone of her personal influence in the church, the society or in her family circle, was perhaps to realize but dimly what her death means to the loved oneswhom her life bound together and to her self. Gracious, womanly, gentle, charitable to a fault,a friend loy al and true as steel, she has left her family desolate and uncom- forted save by the DivineComfor- ter who abides closest of all to the suffering and the broken hearted, while every friend who owned a share in her thoughts and her affections although the richer by her having lived is the poorer by her death.
 Death? Nay, after all there is no Death that can touch in the deep est, most precious sense na ture like her own. Every kindly word that she ever spoke every smile that she gave so prodigally- every gentle, tender, impulsive thought for others that she felt, will live again in the lives of those who knew her and are the better for the know ing.
 Young, so sorely needed, SC richly lowered with the woman ly qualities that means so much in the world and to the world, it is very hard to say while feeling the force of the blow dealt by an All-Wise Providence-"Thy Will be Done" And only God can helr us to say it. That He may draw very near to the bereaved hus band, the father and the dear lit tie child that she left behind her is the earnest prayer of the friends for whom we have beer delegated to speak.

CLEAN UP!

This is the time when extra care should be given to sanitary matters. The season of malaria swamp fever, etc. is approach ing and everyone should begin a crusade against weeks, filth, stagnant waters, etc. While the town is in no bad condition, it could be made considerable bet ter, and the fact that so far this year there has been no scare from malignant diseases, has caused a spirit of lethargy in these matters to prevail that is calculated to cause much sick ness.

pool he was placed in positions of the
highest honor and trust. He is a man
of the highest intellectual attachments
and for many years has been spending
his time on his farm near Marshall

nection

intendent of the cattle department at
the Iowa state fair. He has a wide
acquaintance among cattle men and
is himself breeder of Shorthorn cat,

to gigantic proportions, and for many
years has held the record of having
on exhibit more breeding cattle of
pure bred stock than any other fair
in the country.
He interested himself in other agri-
cultural matters as well and 1t is due
to his efforts that the pure stock food
law and the weed laws of the state
are on the statute books.
Mr.. Packard will locate some place
on the Puget Sound and is leaving
Iowa for that locality because of the
milder climate there. He expects to
sell his fine stock farm near Marshall
town. His family is In Seattle now.

Well Known Citizen of Wright Sue
cumbs to Heart Trouble.

W. H. Harrison, a well known and
prominent man of Wright, dropped

son was alone on the first floor of the
house. Webb Votaw was at work on
the second floor and was startled by
hearing something heavy fall with a
dull thud-like sound. He called to
Harrison to know what was the trou-
BILE. He called several times and re-
ceiving no answer thought something
had happened and went below to in
vestigate. He found harrison lying
on the floor near the place where he
had been working. The man was quite
dead. A physician was hurriediy
called, but to no purpose. Life had
probably left the body on the instant.

spirits and in his usual excellent
health, He has had previous trouble
and had been informed by phycicians
who had diagnosed his trouble that
he had weak heart that was liable
to cause trouble at any time. The
direct cause of the untimely ending
was due to a brain hemorrhage.
The time of the funeral has not
been determined, pending advice fro2
distant relatives. Announcement Will
be made later. Interment will be made

HAS A BOTANICAL NOVELTY

Five beans that once grew on the
shores of far-off Africa when slave
ships were plying between the west
coast and America nearly a century
ago, are sprouting into healthy plants
in room on the top floor of the state
historical building In Des Moines.
The beans fell the other day from
the inside Of a primitive African must.
cal instrument which was brought to
this country by the ancestor of a
southern slave and eventually found
its way into the state historical muse.
UNI. 1t was fashioned like a banjo
with the heavy skin of some animal
stretched taut for the top and bottom.
Between were the beans, which rat.
tied against the skin and produced
weird music.
In moving the relics several days
ago the skin became loose and five
black beans about the size of navy
beans tumbled onto the floor. They
were picked up by J. III. Kelley, head
of the archives department. and plant.
ed in individual flower pots.
Each pot shows a healthy green
plant eight inches high, with two
small leaves growing out opposite
each other at regular intervals from
the stem. Mr.. Kelley will ask a botan.
ist 70 examine the plants.
