ESCAPED CONNECTS
 STILL AT LARGE

Little Rock, August 11.-No trace has been found of the three negroes who escaped from the Bigelow con vict camp Tuesday night, though ofii- cers all over the state are watching for them in order to get a portion of the large reward offered by the state. G II. Lennox, the guard who had his jaw broken by the explosion of dyna- mite which blew the hole in the car and permitted the negroes to escape, was brought to Little Rock Wednes- day afternoon and placed in the peni- tcntiary hospital. His face is hor- ribly disfgured. The guard who ac compan'ed him states that the hole blown in the end of the car was so small only the three small prisoners could get tn ough, which accounts for more not escaping. Henry Frank, the five-year negro, is an old convict and served term in Missouri before be- ing sent up from Jefferson county. He has four sears on his face which were made by knife cuts. Fleming, the leader of the gang, has cut scar on hls forehead

10 DISTRIBUTE
 SHIREY'S MONEY

Beebe, August 11.-While one branch of the judicial authority of this county is seeking to fix responsi- bility for the assassination of the late A. w. Shirey of Minturn and has the alleged former lover of the widow, Mrs. Faire Belle Shirey, in the toiis and her brother under indictment, an- other deperament of the courts is de- voting it's attention to dividing the estate. Three appraisers, Clay Sloan, ]. R. Mason and Will Nicks, are en- gagged in setting value on property left by Shirey. It was decided by the benefciaries to break the will, which left the widow one cent, and the remainder of the fortune to the Odd Fellows lodge, so that the widow and the lodge would each receive 40 per cent and the other heirs 20 per cent. But the death of Shirey's broth CT a few days ago at New Lewis vile may again change the complex ion of things At any rate, it is thought that an ill-omened wealth of the dead man may be distributed soon.

 COST OF THE KINGS FUNERAL

The returned S202, 300 as the cost of the late kings funeral shows an in- crease of $25,000 over that of Queen Victoria, the expense of which was $197 800. But the fitting up of West minister Hall for the lying-in-state of Edward VII cost $10,000, and the eX- penditure includes also an admiralty charge of $19,000 for the travelling and subsistence of naval officers and men. Neither of these items were in cured at the funeral of Queen Vic toria, when also the sundry expenses amounted to only $2,500, as against SIP, 300 last May.
 In other departments the era of economy inaugurated by King Ed ward shows itself in the reduction of $15,0 in the lord stewards account for the entertainment of royal and foreign guests.
 Compared with other great state obsequies those of the late king cost not a fifth of Emperor Williams in 1888, the expense of which was $43O,- 900 to the city of Berlin alone and S55O ,000 to the imperial treasury. The great duke of Wellington's funeral cost $500, ,000; that of Nelson $250,- 900, William IV's, $S0,000, and the prince consort's only $30,0o0-Ex.

GOVERNOR SAVES
 LIFE OF PULLfM
CONTINUATION GRANTED
SLAYER OF w. l.. DELONEY MUST NOW SERVE LIFE
 SENTENCE.

Little Rock, August 11.-Yielding to, the weight of petitions filed from Little River county Governor Dona- ghey late Wednesday afternoon issued a proclamation committing the death sentence of Oscar Pullen to life i'm prisonment. Pullen was convicted on his own testimony of the assassination of L. W. Deloney, a prominent plan ter of Little River county. He stat ed his conscience would no longer per init his silence, and when he confess ed he implicated Mrs. Deloney, the cers he was infatuated with her and had killed Deloney at her suggestion, in order that they might live together. He claimed Mrs. Deloney placed box beneath the window for him to stand upon, raised the window and held the candle for him to shoot Deloney as he lay asleep in his bed. Mrs. Deloney was arrested and tried, but acquitted. Then the petitions for the commu- tation of Pullen's sentence began to pour in on Governor Donaghey. He gives as his reason for the commuta- ton as follows:
 "This is a case in which the life of the defendant is at stake. It has been, however, an exceedingly hard matter for me to decide whether or not l should interfere with the verdict of the jury. According to that verdict the penalty is death. The crime for which Pullen was convicted was a most dastardly one, and there are but few factors in the whole mystery of it that entities him to any considera- tion at the hands of the chief eXecu- tive He is boy, scarcely "A years of age.
 According to his statement, which I believe is generally accepted as sub stantially true, he fell into the hands of woman whose influence over him was absolute. He had no experience with the ways of the world. This woman planned and dictated every move that he made up to the murder of her husband Then the spell which ne had been working under was re- moved and in moments time he real ized the enormity of his deed. Later, when innocent parties were about to be arrested for the commission of the crime, he, realizing how unjust 1t would be to convict others for a crime he had committed, at once surrender ed himself to the sheriff and acknowl- edged he was guilty of all that had been done He did not even employ a lawyer for his defense, but ac- knowledged to all the details connect ed with the case. The court had to appoint a lawyer to defend him Tn order that his conviction might be le- gal.
 "All those connected with the trial, the attorney general, and all others acquainted with the facts, agree that Pullen could not have been convicted at all if he had not acknowledged committing the murder. He asks for no leniency except that his life be spared and that he be given lifetime imprisonment in the penitentiary. The trial judge asks that this be done. The prosecuting attorney asks it. A

Stuffed dates, figs and prunes are

there are endless varieties of small

indigestion in the rising generation.
Mothers, when children are cross,
don't always think it is because they

because the little digestive apparatus
cannot assimilate what you have pre-
pared for it. And older people have
not, unfortunately. learned that
habits of eating are responsible for
much of the display of temper.

School Lunches.

The ringing of the school bell brings
to mind days of the happy past when
we used to come and go at the tap of
the bell; when we used to stand be-
fore half a hundred mischevious
youngsters-the future hope of our
land. In the little faces many things
could be read as easily as from the
pages of an open book. There could
be read the same old story of un
happiness, sorrow, poverty and
neglect, as we'll as brighter things.
Perhaps the dinner pail has caused the
patient teacher more anxiety than
many other things, for anyone who has
served in the profession knows that
children from the homes OF poverty
are not the only ones who suffer from
poorly cooked, unappetizing food. We
have seen we'll dressed children take
from a dirty looking basket, thick
slices of bread with hard crusts and
almost any cleft over" put between.
Sometimes most of the lunch consist
ed of sweet things. We have seen
children look positively sick when the
basket was opened, and all sorts OF
pent up odors came forth. If any one
is entitled to wholesome, attractive
food, it is the growing child, for
upon the perfect physical depends
the highest mental development.
The lunch pail, basket or box,
should be thoroughly aired every
night, and not left with the remains
of the lunch in it, until morning.
On Saturdays it should have special
attention; have a thorough cleansing
inside and out and left in the open
air that it may be clean, sweet and
without odor. In putting up the
lunch, wrap the fruit separately that
it may not spoil the flavor OF other
things. Put salads, beans, buildings
and sauces into marmalade Jars with
screw top. Cut off the hard part OF
the bread (they can eat crusts at
home) and make sandwiches into
triangles, rounds or any nice shape.

Hints for Home Dressmakers.

To make pleated frills for black
tatfeta waist, cut the silk into
straight, even strips of the desired
width for the ruffie; finish the outer
edge with a narrow handstitched
hem. Basic in the pleats making
them any width you like, and press
with a warm iron.
In sewing in the sleeves of a coat,
sew hem to the material of the coat
and to the canvas, but not to the
wadding or interlining. Turn the
sleeve seam toward the neck of the
coat and press it, then fell the sleeve
lining over the coat lining.
In making a princess dress, make
the outside separate from the lining.
Cut the lining according to the dress
pattern (unless lining pattern is
given). II the dress material is
transparent, the lining should run
to the bottom of the dress; it it is not
transparent, the lining should eEd
about nine inches below the waist
line. Bone the lining, letting the
bones extend five inches above the
waist line and one inch below it.
When the outside and lining are
finished. slip the dress over the
lining and tack the corresponding
seams together.
If you have black wool dress,
trim it with black soutache braid and
jet buttons. Black crepe de chine is
a little more popular this season for
waists than satin, although that
material may be used if you prefer it.
Some times one has trouble in
making coats fit above the bust to the
shoulder. This is because one is
shorter than the average figure. The
garment should be taken up at the
shoulder seams or little tuck laid
in the pattern half way between the
lower and upper seam of the arm s
eye and tie shoulder seam.

Because its president, Chief of Police

brother, officer Frank Martin, were at
the Rumos-Consuldi wrestling match at
the time when the Gary Gun club
should have been holding it's delibera-
lions. there was no session of the or
ganization last night.
Much was the wrathiness of the
Tolleston sharpshooters who came over
to the chiefs Office, headed by Bill
Kunert, the star target hitter of the
section.
Il don't know what the chief means"
declared Mr.. Kunert, as he examined
the pages of the American Sportsman?
Il cannot conceive of how a man could
want to go near a wrestling match
when there is a gun club session on
hand. wrestling is not in it with hit
ting the targets, and 1 and the boys
would have gone to church tonight had
we known that the meeting was to be
