train who had put on her gloves. She
then tried to button her right hand

She took it Off and buttoned the right
hand glove. Then she saw that In or
der to button her left hand glove she
must take of her right hand glove,
which she did. Then she put on her
left hand glove, buttoned 1t and put
on the right hand one again. But she
couldn't button her right hand glove
with her left hand glove on, so she
took Off That. Jimmy" he said after

LOOK FOR NO CHANCE
 IN HENDRIX PRESIDENCY

Although nothing official has been given out it is the current gossip on Hendrix college campus that pr. 0. E. Goddard's decision not to accept the presidency of the institution is final, and several of the students have expressed the belief that President Stonewall Anderson will be prevailed upon to reconsider his resignation and remain at the head of the college.
 President Anderson rendered his resignation to the board of trustees several months ago, at which time he stated that his decision was irrevoca- ble, and he has never intimated that he has changed his mind in the least. The board elected Dr. 0. k. Goddard of Muskogee, Okla, to the presidency and had his acceptance of the posi- tion, but Dr. Goddard was seized shortly afterwards with an illness which has forced him to retire from all active work for the present, and he withdrew his acceptance on this account, requesting the board to elect some one else to the position.

Six years ago he wa charged with carrying a pistol, but evaded a warrant for his arrest by skipping the country. After six years he deemed it safe to return to his old haunts, but he had no sooner land ed at the scene of his former misdo ines than he was arrested on that same warrant issued for him half . dozen years ago. He is now under bond to await the action of the cir cult court.

ADKINS BAPTIZED
 BY CONWAY PRIEST
PROTESTS HIS INNOCENCE
MAN HANGED FOR MURDER AT PERRYVILLE COLLAPSES
 ON SCAFFOLD.

Rev. Father Peter Zell, pastor of the Catholic church in this city, re- turned last night from Perryville, where he baptized and administered the last rites of his church to John Adkins, who was hanged yesterday afternoon for the murder of his brother-in-law, William Jones.
 The execution was witnessed by hundreds of people from housetops and trees, although only the legal number of witnesses was permitted within the jail yard.
 Adkins neck was broken by the fall and 16 minutes later he was pronounc- ed dead by Dr. NJ. E. Howard and Dr. J. A. Matthews of Perryvile. The body was cut down and buried in the afternoon in the PerryVille cemetery after it had been viewed by the crowo of fully 2,000 people, gathered iron all parts of Perry county.
 For almost l5 minutes Adkins talk ed to the witnesses from the galloWs. lie denied that he did the actual kill ing for which he was about to be hanged and declared that the fatal shot was fired by William Jones, Jr., son of the murdered man. Until he finished his talk Adkins appeared self possessed and unaffected, but a few seconds later when Sheriff Oliver ap- preached with black cap to be placed over his face, the condemned man col lapsed
 "Oh, God, please save mel he cried Save me, 0, Lord, save me-"
 The sheriff lifted the prostrate man to his feet and fastened the black cap over his face. Still Adkins continued to vail his prayer. When the moose was placed around his neck and his knees were seen to stitfen suddenly and then almost give way. At the sound of the drop his wailine prayer was still on his lips.
 It was 12:45 o'clock when the live body shot downward from the seaf- fold. At 1:0l o'clock physicians pres cnt declared life was quite extinct and the body was cut down.
 Adkins slept soundly Thursday night and in the morning ate a hearty breakfast. He spent an hour writing letter to his father, who lives at Belle. Mo-, and shortly before 1G o'clock, when Father Zell of Conway i ana dtHeI OlllllllcI ol l'iNiG NdliCu dl the jail Adkins asked Sheriff Oliver to see that the letters were sent to the proper address.
 Since his confinement in the coun- ty jail Adkins had professed the Cath olic faith and he made final confes- sion to the priests before being taken ! from his cell.
