 IN CLEVELAND George Brown, Prohibition Candidate for Representa- tive, Given 200 Majority
THE OTHER CONTESTS
Ire Undecided-LOOkS Like Robinson for Sheriif and McMurtrey
 For Clerk.

Rison, Ark, Jan. 26.-(SpeciaD- The county primary election passed off very quietly in this county today, but up to midnight tonight the result Of only one race, that for Representa- tive, was definitely known. George Brown, the Prohibition candidate, it : feated J. H. Hunter, being re-nomi- mated for the lower house. His maj ority, it is expected, willf reach 200. The vote of only four of the fifteen townships, including Rison box, haN e been rece eived here. The Kingsland vote, which is the largest in the county, has not been received at this place. owing to-the wires being down and the same wire trouble is reporte l from other precincts throughout the county.
 J. VI. McMurtrey is leading in the race for county and probate clerl: The other candidates for that office are John Haskins, Delley Taylor an,l Lee Hamilton. For sheriff, H. N Robinson is leading over Rufe Smith M. Pool and J. T. Renfrow. Gray Holmes is running ahead of his op- ponents, Clyde Boyd, Arthur Ste wart and a MT. Galloway, in the Assessors contest. Nathan Smith, for county treasurer, and E. A. McMurtrey, fol county and probate judge, have beer renominated without opposition.
 It is impossible tonight to ever predict the results of the contests ir doubt, owing to the incomplete re- turns at hand. It is generally be lieved, however, that H. N. Robnsoc has been nominated for Sheriff by { good majority ana that J. M. McMur trey will be the nominee for county clerk. Gray Holmes appears to be z winner in the assessors race

SITUATION SERIOUS
 IN PARIS, FRANCE
Municipal Council Trying to Care For the Homeless S-FIOodS Have Sub
 merged the Vegetable Gardens

Paris, Jan. 26.-M. Evain, of the municipal council, today declared that unless the floods go down by tomor- row Paris will be in the same condi- tion as during a siege. Vegetable gardens around Paris are under wat CT and no food is coming in to feed the enormous population. At meet ing on the municipal council today it was suggested, if necessary the gov ernment should take charge of the food supplies to prevent prices on ne cessaries being raised, The rush of thousands from the flooded districts adds seriousness to the problem of securing food. The municipal author ities are giving a dollar a day to the homeless but this is not sufficient

SAD DEATH IN
 COUNTY JAIL Gene Smith Graham Dies While His Brother, a Prisoner, Looks On
RAN AWAY FROM HOME
Grandfather in Whitehall, Illinois, Said to Be Wealthy-Charged
 With Grand Larceny.

In strange city, with no friends and but one relative to comfort or care for him in his last hours, and while his younger brother, Claud Gra- ham, 19 years old, stood by pria. oner in an adjoining cell, Gene Smith Graham, 21 years old, passed away yesterday at noon in the Jefferson county jail. The young man was i'll four weeks, but his death was most unexpected. He had been attended by Dr. A. B. Loving, county physi- elan, and Dr. H. E. Williams. His death is said to have resulted from heart disease. The body was taken to the undertaking parlors of thc H. I. Holderness Company and relatives in Whitehall, H., and Winona, Mo-. have been notified. Up to late last night no instructions had been re- ceived from them as to what disposi- tion to make of the unfortunate young mans body.
 The death of Young Graham was most pathetic He and his brother were arrested in this city December 2S on a grand larceny charge It is claimed that they entered and rob- bed some box cars of the Cotton Belt road at this place. They were ar raigned before magistrate and waived examination, being bound ov- CT to await the action of the Jeffer- son county grand jury. It was while confined in the county jail to await disposition of their cases that Young Graham was taken ill. He was given every attention by Mrs Holland, wife of Jailer Jack Holland, and physi- clans attended him regularly. He was not thought to be in a serious condi- tion.
 The deceased and the grief strick- en brother who is still held in the county jail have every appearance of refinement. They were not thought to be hardened criminals by Jailer Holland of the arresting officers. On the other hand the present charge is said to be their first offense C1aud Graham says he and his brother left their home at Whitehall, Ill.,, several woells ago to find work. Their grand father, Captain T. X. Smith, who lives at Whitehall is said to be wealthy An uncle, c. F. Graham, lives at Winona, Mo.

MILFORD HERO.
Gets Carnegie Medal-Oscar Thom as
 Rescued Boy from Drowning

The information that Occar Thomas had been recognized as a Carnegie hero enthused Milford citizens and brought to mind one of the most dar- ing and heroic rescues ever performed within the precincts of the town.
 MT. Thomas, employed by George Clark, was in his carriage repository and repair shop on the banks of the Housatonic river, one day early in the winter and some boys were on the ice when Alfred H. Smith, 10, plunged through into the icy waters. MT. Thomas saw the accident, and running to the river plunged in and after a hard struggle brought the boy to land. He then directed his own rescue to the treacherous ice, making the reScuers stand far back and throw him a rope.
 Thomas was exhausted by his eff forts, although he was a particularly strong man, and for months after suf- fered from disease and rheumatism as a result of his experience; indeed, he has not fully recovered yet. although he has resumed employment.
 Milford citizens became interested and Almon Clark sent a statement of facts to the Carnegie Hero commis- sion in the hope that Thomas brave deed should not go unrewarded.
 Thomas is about 36, married and has one child.

ohserxinn Sunday.

A great many good people, just as good, perhaps, as those who nave m augurated the disturbance, regret tnal the Sunday observance sensauon mas been sprung on this community. The moving picture shows, if they are ht for weekday evenings, are not gong large population that attend shows Hartford is described as one of the best show towns in New England So long as multitudeS are going to be away from home. it is better for them to have respectable entertainment un- der a roof than to be roaming the streets. Closing the picture shows threw many out of doors and brought the law into new dlsrespect througn the announced purpose of arreSt1ng the ticket sellers and so on and nor arresting the audience, each member of which would be equally guilty be- fore the majesty of the law The ef- feet of the movement has been to make a very considerable number of people feel that the church as such IS down them and bound they shall not have enjoyment on Sundays
 However fine the purpose of the demonstration, it's result has been to embitter many and please few. Neither Sunday nor law is q bit more respected today than before this raid was under taken. Coming to the sale of liquor on Sundays, a different proposition pre- sents itself. The ideal community would have no alcohol in it, but this is not an ideal world. You cannot stamp out the drink evil. The best we can do in this wicked world is to con- trol it, and to be as fair as possible in exercising that control. If the poor man is denied his clubs and his sa- looms and the rich man is allowed his clubs and hotels there is a natural complaint of injustice. It does not satisfy the grumbler to tell him the poor man is all the better, especially on holidays, for having the supply shut off It is like permitting golf and forbidding baseball. - Hartford Cou- rant
