LAWYERS FIGHT
 IN COURT ROOM

Clarksyile, De- 23.-The case of the state against 0. R. Daniel, which has been on trial all week, came to a highly sensational finish yesterday. The state had abount concluded it's ev- idcnce when court came in session after the noon recess. The attorneys for the defense introduced proof of the disqualification of one of the jury men, and evidence was taken by the court upon a motion by the defense to take the ease from the jury and declare a mistrial.
 During the arguments Attorney A. r. Covington, for the state, made the statement that the iuryman was as honest as any attorney in the case. Hon. 0. l.. Miles, in an intensely heat ed tone, said; "He may he as honest as you are but by G., he is not as honest as I am. The two men lunged at each other, and for a few minutes they struggled in the hold of dozen men, while the densely packed court room surged with excitement They were finally quieted down and the hearing proceeded.
 It was disclosed that the juryman in question had had conversation with Senator Jeff Davis, of the prosecution, last Monday, and had told parties some of the evidence brought out by the state, saying that Mr. Davis had told him, and that it was true and they would hang Daniel
 The court took the ease from the jury and declared it a mistriaI and set the case for the May court A great crowd gathered n the court room throughout the trial, and the evidence, as far as produced, Is intensely sen sational.

CHRISTMAS CHEER
 FOR STATES CHARGES

Little Rock, Dec 23.-Christma will not pass without cheer in any of the state institutions. There will be plen- ty fruit, cakes, candies and presents for each of the states wards, and there will be big turkey dinner ev- erywhere but at the penitentary, where the convicts will feast on fresh pork, which is almost as great deli cacy as turkey. Through the efforts of Attorney General Hal L. Norwood, who says the way to reform q boy is to show him the state takes an interest in him, the inmates of the reform school will receive presents, and the state will foot the bill. The state board of charities has purchased sev- eral thousand pounds of turkey for the Arkansas school for the blind, Ar kansas deaf mute institute and the state hospital for the treatment of nervous diseases. The candy bill will also be large, but there has never been year when the inmates of these institutions went without their holiday cheer The pupils of the two state schools who can afford it, will he per mtted to spend the holidays at their homes.

MONTHLY SCHOOL REPORT
SUPT. WATERS URGES GREATER INTEREST UPON PART
 OF PARENTS.

As we look over the three months now closing, there are many things for which we are truly thankful. No fatal sickness, no disease to check the progress of the school, no serious hind rances of any kind; but we had hoped for some things which we have been unable to secure.
 l had so much desired that no trouble should come up among the boys on the ground this year, and, while the fights have been few, and these could hardly be called fights, still, am not able to say, as l should like so much to say, that the conduct on the ground has been ideal. Moth CTS and fathers, see that your son or daughter has the right conception of his or her relations to the school, and help us to bring about a state of things here on the ground, create a sentiment that will aid your child in bringing into use the better and nobler impulses of his life.
 If you know of anything which should Le changed, come to me and talk the matter over with me. l shall be glad to have you visit us and see what your child is doing Many have been to see us this year, but we shall be more than glad to have these return hi, at on,Nn11c ,,pya to you than the eternal interest of your child? Fathers, would you re main away from your farm for three or eight months during the most i'm portant season of the year? Is it not more important to visit your school and thus inspire not only your child but your neighbours child to greater diligence? Try it some and see if you don't think that it pays.
 We had hoped to eliminate all tar diness before this, but in this we have been disappointed We have had but few this year. One year ago in Octo- Der, we had 26, in November 26, in December 11-in all 63. This year in October, IA; November, }; in Decem- Der, 7-in all, 26. Many of these were made by new pupils. See that your child starts in time, but not too soon The bell rings promptly at 8;30 in the morning, and you can be governed somewhat by that.
 These children, as a whole, are doing good work, full of school spirit, obed tent and good. We, your teachers, love them and are planning greater things for them in the new year, and Ly your help our fondest hopes will be realized.
 School will open again January 3, 1910. Let every pupil be present, de- termined to do the best years work of his life. Let this be your motto; 'fll do my best"
 Now, to all, Happy Christmas and prosperous New Year.

demise of the great leader would de-
