yesterday in asking few questions of few witnesses. Considerable expert testimony was introduced and though 1t was of a nature such as should be heard behind closed doors, the usual large number of women were present, number of them girls who were accompanied by their mothers, sat about the court room and hung upon every word of the witnesses. Some of the women bore infants in their arms. The state put on Dr. liar vey, a druggist of Seventh and Victory, and he made good wit ness for the defense. Dr. Harvey had stated before the grand jury the boy had been in his office on the day of the assault and made no effort to place the hour, but yester- day he stated Dill was in the store about II:3o, the time claimed by Dill, stating facts which made 1t clear to his mind.
 Three doctors testified that 1t was impossible to tell if an assault had been committed a week after wards, and also that many author ities spoke of its being impossible in some cases to tell even directly after. Deputy Sheriff Reichardt was recalled, as was Sheriff Rob- erts, both to testify as to the de- scription Miss Burkhalter gave of her assailant.

Two of the men named on the board for this county, Messrs. At keison and Sowell, ar, farmers, and MT. Robinson is a merchant. MT. Atkeison was informed of his appointment by The Log Cabin Democrat this afternoon. He said he had no knowledge that he was to be appointed and preferred not to be quoted as to what policy he would favor as a member of the board, although he was inclined to think that no radical changes in the assessment of this county are probable.

ernor was acting within his rights at the capitol, as the constitution says he may i'll governmental duties, and acting as chairman of the commission was governmental as the legislature has made that one of his duties. Judge Harrod insisted that the law was plain, as shown by Arkansas supreme court decisions, that the governor could not be directed by any court.
 Chancellor Maltineau stated be- fore court adjourned that he want ed to hear from the superintend- ents at the building to see why they should not be punished. He says he was going Ito have his orders obeyed if it took a writ of assist anCe.

TRAIN STRIKES
 NECRO'S WAGON

What might have been serious accident was narrowly averted this morning when northbound passen- ger train No Io4, coming into the station at high speed, struck at the Catholic church crossing a wagon on which Austin High, a I4-year-lld negro boy, was riding. Both the negro and his team es- capped injury however, but the wag- on, which was loaded with wood |, was demolished. A freight train standing on the siding prevented the boy from seeing the the ap- preaching passenger train until too late but he managed to get his wagon far enough across so that only the rear end was struck by the engine. High was but little disconcerted by his experience. Hit des knocked de wagon out fum under me and let me drap down." he said. A large crowd standing on the depot platform saw the wagon hurled off the track and went down to pick up the re- mains of the driver, but he had gone off to capture his mules. The boy is a son of Bose High and lives four miles west of Con- way.

D0NACHEY HAS
 COURT GUESSING

Little Rock, July 3G.-For sev- eral days at any rate, the work on the state capitol building will pro- ceed uninterrupted, as Chancellor Martineau yesterday afternoon took under advisement that portion of the argument presented by attor- neys for the commission which claimed the governor to be i'm mune. The commissioners have all placed the responsibility upon Governor Donaghey for the work going on at the buildidg in viola tion of the injunction issued by Chancellor Martineau.
 George B. Rose, who has been added to the attorneys for the state, contended yesterday after noon that the governor was i'm mune from the process ot any court so long as he was acting in tbe interest of the state or as an official of the state, or was carry ing out legislative0 enactment, whether or not the enactment was constitutional. Chancellor Marli- neau took issue with him here, saying if the act was unconstitu- tional the governor could not le- gally act under 1t without becom- ing amenable to the law.
 John w. Blackwood for Cald- we'll & Drake insisted the govern CT became trespasser the same as private individual when he entered upon the rights of another. James H. Harrod stated the gov

Little Rock, Ark, July 3I.- No longer will be watched with anxious eye the Beebe company banging away al targets at Fort Logan H.

The most skeptical was convinced the soldiers were not to be used on the capitol building today, when the

ton, and the result of the most peasinglv
rhythmic and tuneful things in the English language
whatever may be thought of its deeper significance
The purely fortuitous occurrence OF suggestive
word or line has always exerted strong influence on
our poets. There is the of Tennysons Charge
of the Light Brigade" than which poem is more
widely known. 1t developed, if we may believe
the late poet laureate, from seeing in The London
Times" despatch describing the battle the line,
Some one had Numbered" These four words
through Tennvsons head all day after reading them
at the breakfast table and by nightfal he had the
poem well under way-"half league under
way, SO to speak.
Running neck and neck in popularity with this
process is the other of evolving poem from some
simple happening that has touched the sympathies.
In this manner did Robert Burns lines To Field
Mouse have their birth the Scottish cotter having
plowed up field mouses nest while at his daily work.
Thomas Hardy's brain followed closely the rules
of involuntary inspiration when he created Tess of
the d Urbervilles" Walking along lane In West
Dorset day he caught sight of girl face which.
in way nobody explain, started the fountain
of creation. He never the girl again: but from
that the shuttles of his mind began to
the wool of his greatest novel.
George E1iot's Adam Bede" was, the other
hand conscious creation; but started from rather
simple incident that did not fall under her per-
sonal observation Her aunt told her of visit she
had paid to woman condemned to death. The aunt
