P, (, NICHOLS
 IS HANGED

Little Rock, Feb. 9.-Special.- P. G. Nichols, convicted of mur- der in the first degree, was hanged at Marion this morning. Nichols went to the gallows singing and prayed for his enemies. Governor Donaghey today received several messages asking for Commuta- ton of the sentence, but declined to interfere.
 Murdering Edward Smith, a youth fifteen years old, in a boat on the Mississippi river is the crime for which Nichols was sentenced to die. The killing occurred within the jurisdiction of Crittenden coun- ty September I, 1908. The Smith boy and his father, $. l.. Smith, were in one boat and Nichols was in a gasoline launch. They quar- reled and engaged in battle on the river. In addition to killing the boy Nichols seriously wounded the father, but the latter lived 70 give damaging evidence against his son s slayer at the trial. Nichols gave up to officers in Memphis immediately after the killing and returned to Arkansas without re- quisition papers.

A recent graduate of the Harvard Law school returned to his home in Alabama and there hung out his shingle. It is said that since his re- turn the young lawyer has complete ly mystified his former friends and neighbors with the use of big words. His flow of speech, with its weighty words, has caused no little comment, and the man is now tolerated with a smile.
 At the hotel for breakfast one morning this bright young lawyer told the waiter to bring him some eggs, rolls and coffee. The waiter started for the kitchen.
 "Oh, waiter" called the young lawyer, "just eliminate those eggs and bring me some-

DENIZENS OF THE DEEP SEA
Nature Has Provided Them with Or. sans We:l Adapted to Their
 Environment.

Fish that inhabit the depths of the sea beyond the penetration of day light depend largely in their search for prey on the senses of hearing and smell. One would think they would have no use for eyes at all; but na- ture has provided some of them with organs for the emission of phos- phorescent light, and in some cases the eye itself performs the double service of illumination and vision. There is thus a feeble light in those gloomy depths. An examination of the brains of some of these creatures made recently in Germany by Dr, Trojan shows that the conformation of this organ, as well as the distribu- ton of nerves, favors the senses of smell and hearing. The feeble devel- opment of the optic lobes and nerves indicates that vision is imperfect, while the powerful olfactory and auditory nerves, the huge Gear stones" and the size of the corre- spending brain centers show what preponderous part is played by sounds and smells in the mental life, if such it can be called, of dwellers in the marine abysses.

Would Keep "Booze" From Boys.

Danville, Feb 9 So extensive has become the practice among young men and youths of Yell county of patronizing mail order booze" houses that parents, preachers and public officials are thoroughly aroused and are seek ing to bring about reforms. It is probable that all appeal will be made to the legislature for law to prohibit minors from receiving whiskey from express companies. Even cider has come under the ban and m merchants in all parts of the county have been appealed to by the grand jury to refrain from handling it.

GOVERNOR WOULD VETO ACT
Expresses Disfavor of Bill to
 Continue Caldwell & Drake
In Construction of State Capitol House, However, Believed to Oppose
 Measure.

Little Rock, Feb. 9 Special eff the senate or house pass the bills introduced this afternoon to allow Caldwell & Drake to contin- ue with the construction of the new state capitol, said Governor Donaghey yesterday afternoon, they will be going directly against the will of the people and against the platform of the Democratic convention. Everyone voting for me in the primaries knew he was voting against Caldwell & Drake and their continuing the construc- ton of the state capitol. There is a plank ill the platform prepared by the recent convention, calling for the discharge of Caldwell & Drake. I do not think the gener al assembly will go directly against the wishes of the people. '
 Senator De RoSSltt yesterday at ternoon introduced a bill in the senate for the appropriation of S35O, ,OOO for the continuance of the work on the capitol building, with Caldwell and Drake as the contract ors and George B. Rose, promi nent Little Rock lawyer, as the commissioner in place of w. B. Alexander. An effort was made to put it on second reading, but this failed, and it was made special order of business for Thursday morning. Senator Pindall stren- uously opposed the measure. A similar bill was introduced in the House by Hamilton of Polk, but it met with no enthusiasm, as in the senate, and went on the oalen- dar. The senate, it is said by those who are in daily touch with the body, will pass the bill with a large majority, but 1t is expected to die in the house. Should the bill pass 1t would be vetoed by Governor Donaghey and it would be impossible to get the two thirds majority to pass It.

Eureka Springs, Feb. o.-Al- though word has been received here to prepare him welcome, it isn't probable that the wives of Herbert R.

He was given a three years sentence, but by good behavior in the pen he has cut it down so that he gains his freedom today instead of next August, according to his original sentence.

TWO-MINUTE TITLE TALKS
XIX. About Being Sure.

ol Once a book agent enter ed front gate and was met by a vicious dog. He hesitated.
 Presently the woman said, "Come right in. I don't think the dog will bite."
 Did these words re- assure the man? Think was hardly strong enough This was a time when he wanted to know.
 So it will be when you go to sell your land. Unless you can use a stronger word than the word "think" your assur- ance will be weak indeed. You must be able to say "I know the title is good, and here is the ab- stract that you may know 1t too.'
