Some items of general interest
gathered from our exchanges.
Governor Donaghey Friday ad-
dressed a letter to Israel l.. White
of Newark, N. j., in reply to let
ter received from him asking for an
expression as to the attitude of the
people of Arkansas toward the pay
ment of the bonds of the state
which were repudiated by the Fish
back amendment to the constitution.
The governor in his letter gives a
history of the bonds referred to,
stating that an investigation bad
shown that the state received prac-
tically no benefit from their sale.
He stated that decision of the
Arkansas Supreme Courb holding
that the action of the legislature in
pledging the credit of the state in
support of these bonds wys negatory,
because it was never ratified by the
people, had settled the question as
TO the validity of the bnds.
"The reflection of pblic opinion
concerning all these bonds" says
Governor Donaghy, 'was shown by
the vote on the ameIdment to the
constitution ratified 1t the election
of 1884. A move q this time for
the payment of thi alleged claim
would scarcely receive a favorable
vote of l per cen of the voting
population of the tate."

ing little alter sundown and en-
ticed HIM away. Shortly after this
shots were heard, and several of the

work, as five shots had taken effect,
all fired at close range, and several
shots had gone wild as was shown
by the trees in the vicinity.
As some of the witnesses were
not at hand the conclusion of the
inquest was put off until Saturday.
