SUFFOCATED IN THE BED
TRAVELLING MAN MEETS PECU- LIAR DEATH AT WAL
 NUT RIDGE.

Walnut Ridge. March 12.-Joseph J. Justine, 40 years of age, travelling salesman employed by a St. Louis firm, met death in peculiar manner at the Rhea hotel here last night, when a folding bed in which he was sleeping folded up on him. He was suffocated and the body was not discovered until this morning, when q chambermaid en- tered the room.
 Justine and another man entered the hotel about midnight and asked for a room. There was only one vacant room in the house, Clerk Barrah told them, and the men agreed to take that. The room had a connecting alcove, which was made private by the use of a hanging curtain in double door.
 Just,pe weighed 260 pounds, he told the clerk while Barrah was leading the way to the room. The folding bed, a heavy structure that has been in use at the hotel for many years, was as signed to Justine, and he retired inn mediately. The other man, sleeping in the adjoining room, did not know of the accident until after the body was discovered this morning.
 Justine evidently made desperate struggle for his life. The bed cloth ing was disarranged, as if the suffo- eating man had exerted all his strength in an effort to escape. The body was cold when discovered, and it is believed the man had been dead sev- eral hours.
 Letters found in the dead mans clothing indicated that he had lived at 2717 Dixon street, St. Louis, and that he represented the Cleveland Faucet Company of that city. The body was sent to St. Louis today.

CANDIDATES FOR
 CONGRESS HERE
SPEAK TO LARGE CROWD AT COURTHOUSE FRIDAY.
 NIGHT.

Ben l.. Griffin of Conway and II. NJ. Jacoway of Dardanelle, candidates for congress from the Fifth district, spoke to a large audience of voters at the courthouse in this city last night. Township Committeeman George Shaw presided over the meeting and introduced the speakers.
 Mr. Griffin spoke first and outlined the platform upon which he is making the race for congress. He said that the south needs fewer lawyers and politicians and more farmers and business men in congress, and that he if he is elected he proposes to devote his entire time to an earnest effort to promote legislation for the betterment of his constituency.
 Mr. Griffin favors the improvement of inland waterways, support of agrl- cultural colleges and other movements looking to the advancement of the peo- pie, by federal aid He would pay for these improvements, he stated, by the issuance of treasury notes, without in creasing the bonded indebtedness of the United States. He said that the tariff had gradually increased from 10 per cent ad valorem when the first tariff law was enacted, to 56 per cent ad valorem when the Aldrich-Payne bill was passed, and he favored a radical reduction through a tariff commission to be appointed by the governors of each state. Railroads, he said, should be controlled by in- creasing the powers of the interstate commerce commi ssion, and If in the last analysis it was found that they could not be controlled he favored government ownership. He said this was the platform of William J. Bryan and it was the one upon which he stood. He denied that he favored the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of Is to 1, and charged that his opponent did not know the difference between this proposition and the free coinage of gold and silver at the present ratio. Mir, Griffin made strong appeal to the people of his home town and county for their support and said that he was confi- dent of victory.
 Mr. Jacoway devoted most of his time to criticism of his opponent $ platform, laying especial stress on the government ownership proposition He said that he had no elaborate plat form of his own, but stood on the Democratic platform and advocated the things for which the Democratic party had been working.
 Both the addresses were well re- ceived by the crowd and each speaker was given a respectful and attentive hearing.

(STAFF CORRESPONDENT

Little Rock, March 12.-The Pulas- Xxi grand jury adjourned yesterday af- ternoon until April II, when it will resume the grind. Politics is too warm for grand jury work at the present time, so is was decided to adjourn un- til the primaries are over and the air has cooled off again. The grand jury returned eleven indictments yester- day, all against persons in jail. Among those indicted were Shaw and Morris, who are charged with murder ing Seibert, the Morrilton snowman, in cell of the Argenta city jail sev- eral months ago Shaw is one-legged man, and it is alleged that he jumped upon Seibert, who was intoxicated on the floor and crushed his skull with the end of his peg leg.

Trustees of the college for this pur- pose. The committee met in Little Rock yesterday by agreement and Rev. Goddard, returning from the conven- tion of the religious colleges recently held at Nashville, met with it. Rev. Stonewall Anderson, who also attend ed that meeting, was present at the meeting. When the tender was made to Rev. Goddard, he accepted it and announced he would resign his church in Muskogee in time to move back to Arkansas and take charge of Hendrix college by the time the resignation of President Anderson went into eff feet.
 The news of pr. Goddard's election, which was received here late yester day afternoon, was received with much qualification by the students and friends of the college. A large number of the students assembled at the depot last night to meet the pres ident- elect and members of the board and they were given a series of vo- ciferous college yells on their arrival.
 Dr. Goddard made a short address at the college chapel exercises this morning, urging greater loyalty and devotion to their work upon the part of the students. He will leave Mon day for Muskogee and begin at once to make his preparations for his re- turn to Conway.

DONACHEY GETS CROWDS
GOVERNORS TRIP LAST WEEK SAID TO HAVE WON SEVER
 AL COUNTIES FOR HIM.
(STAFF CORRESPONDENT

Little Rock, March Ex-Governor Donaghey did not return to Little Rock today to spend Saturday in his office, as has been his custom in the few weeks he has been speaking over the state, because he addressed a crowd at Melbourne this afternoon and could not get to the railroad be- fore night Reports from the places where Governor Donaghey has been speaking are so flattering that his friends are predicting he will be over whelmingly renominated. His recent trip into north Arkansas is said to have placed several counties into his column which have always been re- garded as anti-Donaghey counties. Every report says Governor Dona- ghey addressed a crowd which packed the building in which the speaking took place, and that many were turn ed away because they could not get in the room. The crowds have been enthusiastic, too, being readily con vinced through the earnest argument of the governor.
 Governor Donaghey will reach Lit tie Rock tomorrow morning, spend the night at home and Monday starts on tour which takes him jumping about the central portion of the state. He speaks Monday at Benton and Nal vern, Tuesday at Prescott, Wednes- day at Pine Bluff, Thursday at Star City and Friday at Jonesboro, with Lake City on Saturday. The Dona- ghey strength is increasing in leaps and bounds through the crowding in of the band-wagoners. This has talk en away the most of the apparent strength of the opposition.
