 Governor Donaghey has reached the comic post and congratulation stage and the numerous cards he has re- ceived express the way he distanced the opposition in a very humorous manner. The governor Is now the proud possessor of Waterbury watch which was presented to him by s. Cohen, the superintendent of cooks at the penitentiaIy. Cohen is a great adnirer of Governor Donaghey and one day heard a supporter of Kava- naugh talking of how much the gov ernor was going to be defeated. Co., hen immediately offered to wager any thing from his job to his reputation on this proposition, and finding all the talker had was Waterbury watch, he put up $1.25 against this and yesterday the watch was turned over to him. He immediately present ed the timepiece to Governor Dona- ghey with all the pomp and splendor he could command

WOULD ENFORCE
 UNIFORM PRIMARY COMMITTEE WILL ACT
TO ASK CONVENTION TO RE CURE COUNTY AND STATE
 PRIMARY ON SAME DAY.

Little Rock, April 2.-The meeting of the Democratic state central com mittee in June promises to be rather strenuous affair and some of the conn ties which have been holding their primaries ahead of the state prlmar- ies, thus decreasing the size of the vote in the state show, will be spanked so thoroughly that there will be no repetitio nof the otfense. Committee men yesterday stated they would take up before the next convention the proposition of holding county primar- ies earlier than those of the state and not only make it imperative that the county and state hold primaries at the same time, but refuse to recognize the candidates nominated by an early phi mary by declaring it irregular and or dering new primary election.
 Another thing which will be dealt with by the convention is the spring election date An effort will be made to have the primary election held in July, when the farmers will have their crops laid by and can turn out. The candidates complain that the weather and rush of crop-making is agalnSt them m the spring, Wnlch keeps down the crowds to the speak ings. This change will probably be made, as for several weeks many of the delegates have been expressing themselves in it's favor.
 The next legislature will also be rendered a constitutional amendment making the terms of state offices four years, and when this is passed the Democratic state committee is expect ed to pass a strong resolution allow ing the candidates but one termm of office.

names of the persons involved in the transaction, but as the box of candy was sent through the mails, postal au- thorities will probably make an in vestigation, for the matter will have to be reported to them or the phy sicians will be liable to prosecution for concealing a crime from the gov ernment, which will make them access sories after the fact. Both women in the case are said to be married, and the one who received the candy is the wife of Little Rock merchant of some prominence. The other woman became jealous of her, having taken a fancy to her husband, and it is be- lieved this prompted her to send the poisoned candy.
 There were about a dozen pieces of cream chocolates in the box and had they been mailed nan ordinary can dy box, not only the woman for whom they been mailed nan ordinary can as well, might have partaken of them and a fatality would certainly have occurred.
