WHEATLEY GIVEN
 2-YEAR SENTENCE
After DeIiberating 20 Hours. Jury Reaches Compromise Verdict, Reducing the Charge to
 Manslaughter.

Hot Springs, Oct. l7.-A com promise verdict was reached to- night in the case of Rufus Wheat ley, charged with first degree murder for the killing of Bud" Robbins here last January, when the jury, after being out 20 hours, returned a verdict of guilty after reducing the charge to man. slaughter and fixed Whea,ley's punishment at two years in the penitentiary.
 The case was one of the most bitterly contested here for years and IS the first trial for a double homicide committed in a billiard and pool parlor when Murt Way casey and Julius (Bud) Robbins, pfoprietors of the place, were killed by Rufus and Nick Wheat ley. following a quarrel preclpi- tated by Rufus Wheatley's son having been ejected from the place.
 Both Wheatleys were indicted in two counts each for first de- gree murder and the case in which the verdict was returned was the first tried. Rufus Wheatley will be tried again at this term of court for the killing of Murt Waycasey, the other man slain the night of the tragedy. The testimony in this first trial estab lished that Nick Wheailey, the other brother, was not armed the night of the double tragedy and the cases against him will not be tried.
 All parties were from promi- nent Garland county families and much interest attended the trial, the courtroom being crowded throug bout all of the hearings. Judge Thurston Farmer, coun- sel for the defense, said tonight:
 s'We established a perfect case and will tile a motion for new trial. In the event that 1t IS de- uied we will appeal to the Su- preme Court on the ground that improper instructions were per mitied to go the jury.

NEW WELL SHOWS
 GOOD STRONG FLOW
Two Inch Jet Pulled all Day and a Night With 20 Effect on Water To Put in Casing
 This Week,

While the drill was not at work Sunday Com missioner Thomp- son, compauied by several city officials and other citizens, had a two.inch ste-m jst put in the well and started hrowIrg water out of tue well at a rate of about 35, 1000 gallons a day. In the course of about 30 minutes the Jet lowered the wst in the well from about two feet of the sur face of the ground 10 depth of P feet. At that point the water made a stand and with % pounds of steam pressure or the i.t the water stayed at the z2-fcot level all day and all night until Mon. day morning, when the steam was cut off and the pump stopped.
 All those present while the test was being made were greatly pleased at the strong fl,w Of water.
 Alter the water cleared fairly well 1t was turned into the SUD- ply pipe and about 25, 5,00O gallons ot water was put iuto the stand pipe from the well. Of these who have interested themselves iu the showing made by the well the feeling is unanimous that 1t is useless 10 ofaii any deeper. Driler R,!stin is o( the same opinion.
 IL will take a larger pump to test the capacity of this well and when that is done, if 1t is found 1t will not give sufficient water to supply the c!ty, 1t is certain that one or two more wells sunk 10 the depth of 125 feet, where this strong flow of, water was struck, would give all the city could use ID the dryest season.
 This week it is expected the casing will be put in the we'll t, cut the water off from escaping through the loose boulder forma- tion near the top of the ground and when this is done it is certain the well will flow out the top of the hole.
 Mena's prospects for splendid water supply are certainly good.

ROUNDING UP THE POINTS
Railroad Committee Sending a Delega lion to Get Things Together Ask
 for Funds.

The Railroad Improvement com mittee held it's first meeting Monday morning and organized by electing John Thompson, chairman, Thomas A. Berkebile, secretery, and Joseph Robert, treasurer.
 The next step was the selection of subcommittee to ascertain what McAlester and other points are do- ing to cooperate with Mena in in- ducing the M., K. x T. or other lines to connect with Mena and points East.
 Pursuant to the expressed wish of the citizens of Mena, and in conse- quence of present necessity, the General Railroad Committee recom- mends that the owners of real estate pay ten per cent assessment on the assessed valuation of their respec- tive properties; and in order to pro- vide for the immediate preliminary work and expenses the committee calls for one-ffth of this assessment and requests that the respective owners of property deposit this at once in any of the three banks to the credit of Joseph Robert, treas urer.

SURVIVES AWFUL FALL
After Losing Portion of Brain Through Hole in Skull Boy Still Lives
 Little Hope of Recovery.

Dr. J. R. Davis was called to Rich Mountain Saturday night to attend the nine-year- old son of Dave Sexton. who was probably fatally injured by fall from a tree while out gather ing nuts Saturday evening. The boy fell from near the top of very tall hickory tree onto some rocks. The sharp corner of stone pune tured hole as large as a quarter in his forehead over the left eye. his left thigh was broken in two places. About d teaspoon full of brain mat ter flowed with the blood from the wound in the head. In spite of this the boy is still alive, conscious and resting fairly well, but the doctors give little hope for his recovery.

pAIRYMAIp EDUCATED.

The dear little dairymaid of fact
and fiction is to be educated? That s
proposal before the Legislature,
and the State is asked to appropriate
$4,000 to teach her how to milk the
COW and make butter, with view to
greater profits. According to the
ideas of Representative E. E. Jones,
of Susquehanna, the State would pro-
vide travelling dairy instructors to
visit the farm, whereth rosy-cheeked
dairymaid is at home, and to visit
creameries and cheese factories.
Their duties include "giving such
assistance as is possible in improving
the quality of dairy products and the
methods of work" Further, the
measure vaguely refers to "informa-
tion as to improved and economical
methods of advancing and promoting
the dairy interests of the State"
Aside from its relation to the dairy
maid, the bill is regarded as good
measure for advancing the States
dairy interests, second only to those
of New York. = Philadelphia North

Just as he entered the green cur
tains were drawn aside and the pro-
cession began to file out of the hippo
drome track. In the van was a huge
band chariot resplendent In vermil-
lion and gilt, with bits of looking
glass and polished brass to one side
to permit the musicians to scramble
out and hurry toward the band stand
and then, as 1t numbered on, Trennant
jumped on to the running board, fol-
lowed by Traxon.
Once they had cleared the tent
Trennant explained to the driver
what was wanted, and with a final
handshake he dropped lightly to the
ground while the chariot sped toward
the street.
Once on the country roads, with a
village boy for pilot, the huge ma
chine made splendid time, and in less
than an hour the tiny cluster of
houses that constituted Midvale came
into sight.
The boy pilot located the place
where Mrs. Blaine lived. With fine
flourish the chariot sped up the drive
and came to stop before the broad
piazza, on which girl and boy were
playing.
Traxon swung himself down, after
slipping gratuity to the driver, and
approached the awestruck children.
Mamma at home, little MANI" he
asked the boy. For moment the
child stared, then he toddled into the
broad hall.
Mamma" he called, in his shrlll,
childish treble. "Tum down, kwick.
l dess Dod's tum."
Traxon sprang forward to greet
the woman who descended the stairs
and he read his answer in the happy
light of her eyes.
Everything depends upon first i'm
pressions," said Anne laughingly, as
she placed her cool, firm hands in his
own. II think your first impression

BOILING EGGS BY MELODY.

Aunt Peggy was something over
fifty-five. Her skin was like ebony,
shining with pristine purity, and her
lips were large and full. Her eyes
were frank and intelligent, and had
then such a motherly look and so re-
spectful, and her courtesy would
have done credit to duchess. Her
neat cotton dress and turban, her
kerchief, and her large, friendly look
ing apron, were suggestive of scrupu-
lous neatness. 1 soon learned that
Aunt Peggy was an autocrat in her
way, a perfect queen of the kitchen.
She would allow no disorder around
her, no loud talking and certainly no
interference.
She had her own way of reckoning
time, too, for l found soon after she
came that she was unable to read the
time on the clocks. She devised a
system of notches on the window sill
which was as accurate as any time
piece in the house, and moreover,
they never ran down. / gave her a
sand glass to tell how long an egg
should boil for those who liked them
soft, and she was to reverse the glass
when the eggs were to be boiled lit
tie harder. She thanked me for the
contrivance, but I found later that
she never used it. She had her own
ingenious method. To get the time
for a soft boiled egg she would sing
several verses of an old negro mel
ody, and twice as many for an egg to
be boiled about three minutes. She
could keep a perfect reckoning OF
the number of lines she would sing,
and seldom remember an egg that
was either over or under done when
boiled to this time.-From Aunt
Peggy" by Pamila Robertson Butt,
in Uncle Remus's, The Home Maga-
zine.
