'Unwritten Law" Case Up Next Week.

Clarksville, Dec. 3.-There is great public interest in the ap. preaching session of Circ i t Court which convenes here next Monday, the chief case to be tried being that of Orville Dan- iels, a prominent merchant, for killing his former business part ner, Dr. J. w. Mitchell, an equal ly prominent physician.
 The doctor was killed in Dan iels home, wherein he had been a roomer for long time. At the coroner's inquest testimony was adjuced that the room of Mitch ell had been a meeting place for the doctor and Daniels wife, dur ing the husbands absence. It is believed that letters falling into Daniels hand, written by his wife, to the doctor, referring to their meetings in the latter's S room, and advising him to leave the residence and take up his abode in hotel, were the inn mediate caus e of the killing.
 Mrs. Daniels is in another state, she having left home osten- sibly to visit relatives, before the tragedy.

Boys Should Become Weed Merchants.

We are actually importing to this country for medicinal pur- poses plants that are growing wild all around us, but which no one seems to think worth while to gather. This fact is pointed out by the Department of Agri- culture in a bulletin that is called Weeds Used as Medicine" that would be worth while for boy to write for, if be wants to make money out of the vacant ground all around him. The bulletin will explain how to prepare the weeds for the market and will give some idea of the price the industrious boy can expect to obtain for the weeds that are marketable.
 For instance, Belgium and other European countries ship to this part of the world, every year, about 50,000 pounds of Bur dock root. The root sells for from 3 to s cents pound, and the seeds from , to 10 cents. This will probably be news to most of those diligent workers who have been weedirfg out the bur1ock from the thousands of farms and carefully consigning it to the flames, while the more thrifty Europeans have been sell. ing it to us in coneignments that come over three thousands miles to a country that abounds in it.
 Then t h ere are dandelions worth from f to 6 cents a pound, and dock root that sells at from

A Testimonial.
MR. JNO. J. DEERING.

MIR. JNO. J. DEERING.
 Dear Sir:-It affords me much pleasure to bear testimony to the very high character of the work you do in demonstrating your science of hypnotism. The exhibi- tions given by you in our city on the evenings of the 11th, 18th and 18th of this month, all of which I had the pleasure of attending, were high class indeed and were enjoyed by immense audiences, representing the very best ele- ment in our town. Your audi ences were swept from one burst of laughter into another, and of ten deeply impressed by the strange and wierd scenes pro- duced by the hypnotic influence.
 Should you ever come this way again you will find hearty well come in our midst.
 With all best wishes for your success and happiness, I am,
 Yours faithfully

Three to Hang this Month.

There will be three hangingS in Arkansas before Christmas firesides are decorated with hol- ly and mistletoe. Not that Christ mas cheer has anything to do with legal executions but three unfortunate wretches, unle S something unforeseen arises. will be hanged just about the time that Christmas shopping is at it's height.
 The execution day of all three is set for December 17th. The victims are Will Crosby, Butler Ferguson and c. M. Miller, the latter, a white man.
 Crosby is charged with mur dering James Howard and his son near Sologhachia, in the vi- cinity Of MOrr lltOn, where the execution will take place. Fer gurson is to be hanged for slay- ing Pet Henderson, young white man, at Nashville. Ark. c. H. Miller, white, murdered an old fisherman named Flood, and after wards burned his body in a stove. All the bones were not burned up. This lead to the dis. covery of the crime. Miller, in iail, assaulted the judge who sen fenced him with the thigh bone of his victim, which he had stolen from the evidence exhibits.

Quietly Working on Interurban Project.

Hot Springs, Dec. B. Within the past few weeks reports coming from Little Rock have indicated that there will yet be something doing on the Interurbrn line pro- ject before long. Reports are that activity is being shown in the general offices of the Little Rock and Hot Springs Interur- ban Railway Company, indica- tive of another campaign to arouse public interest to the ex- tent necessary to secure the line.
 l.. Garret, general manager, is still active and optimistic as ever. He has put in nearly five years on the project, which represents thousands of dollars in salary and was assigned high position in the traffic department of a steam railroad to build the Little Rock and Hot Springs Interurban. He and his associates have also spent the thousand of dollars incident to making all preliminary esti- mates, surveys, travelling about the country interesting capital in New York, St. Paul and other cities.
 The project was just about cul- minated when the panic struck the country, knocking all the nearly perfected arrangements into a cooked hat, so to speak Now the financial end of it is be- ing worked up by painful pro- cesses from the bottom, with the incubus of one failure dragging back upon the proposition.
 Mr. Garret with patience and grit is staying with the propOsi- tion, because, he says,it is bound to win in the end. He bases his faith upon carefully and elabor- ately prepared possible traffic es- inmates, the prodigious amount of expert work that has already been placed into the project which figures as an asset, and upon the judgment of the finan- ciers who had arranged to back the project up to the time of the panic, as well as upon the iudg- ment of himself and his asso- ciates.
