DONAdHEY DENIES PETITIONS

Governor DOnaghey denied sev- eral petitions, which came up be fore him, on Saturday, in behalf of murderers, who are now scry- ing sentences in theArhansas Pen itentiary. According tostatements by the governor, to the attorneys on the hearing of these petitions, he evidently believes that capital punishment IS the most satsfaet- ory method of dealing with cold blooded murderers. He not only denied all petitions, but gave in the presence of the attorneys, some sharp and pointed talk on the in- crease of crime in Arkansas, due on the most part, to their shreWd- ness in defeating the interests and purposes of the law. He cited cases where crimes have been commit ted after the criminals had care fully gone over the records of the county 10 seeif previous murders had gone unpunished, and when it was dicoyefcd that the counties had no hangings, the murder took place.
 He also spoke about the Iax en- foreement of the laws being re- sponsible for, even boys committing murder, and his determination to do every thing in his power to prevent them.

TICK PREDICTION

Editor Journal.-We learn there IS quite deal of discontent among the people about the tick law which recently went into effect.
 The writer of this article wishes to say that the people are not suf- hclently acquainted yet with the benefits of this law to really know just how they feel about 1t. Nat uraIIy they are inclined to oppose any new proposition, as has been fully demonstrated in the past, but we feel confident that after 1t is in force long enough to show it's good results, you will hear every body praising 1t. Such has been the case in other states.
 If you will talk with the intelli- gent farmer and stockmen in oth- CT Tick and Fever Eradiction Dis stricts where the law has been in operation long enough to show its merits, you will find a larger per cent of them highly pleased. It is simply a campaign of education on this subject and the more you learn about it, the better you will be pleased.
 So, Mr. Voter, don't try to un- ject this into politics. You may be working against your own inter- est. Give 1t trial and then pass judgement, as we'll as those who voted for it. CITIZEN.
