Loses Fortune and Wife

Sherwood brought action for divorce, but when Mrs. Sherwood asked for change of venue he asked that the suit be dismissed, for he had not the means to contest the application. Then Mrs. Sherwood filed an action for maintenance in Fl Dorado county.
 The former associates of Sherwood say he was known as a man of the Highest business integrity. who dis charged every just and some unjust obligations. He is obviously a man of the finest sensibilities, and his unwil. ling discussion of his misfortunes was as sad a recital as human misery could give rise to IL was the story of proud man brought almost to despera- ton It was the story Of man proud Of his reputation for business integ- rity reduced nearly to penury It was the story of man proud of having contributed to 35 years of welded hap piness. during which seven children were reared and married, dragged into the humiliatlng limelight of the divorce courts.

ARKANSAS EQUAL TO ANY
visitor to Capitol Says Building Is
 Surpassed By None.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Carl Schader of Los Angeles, who visited his brother in this city, wis ited the state captol, and while cal ing upon Governor Donaghey declared t seemed to him that the new capitol is admirably situated to be made the nucleus of a civic center, in which al the public buildings of the city will be grouped.
 T do not think l ever saw $ loca ton that would lend itself more read fly to the development of a civic cen ter. such as many of the most enter prising cities of the countries are now trying to develop" said Mir. Schader 1t seems to me that the state should condemn the blocks of ground imme diately in front Of the capitol. Then a courthouse could be built on one side Of the capitol and city hall or some other public building on the other There would be ample room fer library and any other building that should be erected later.
 The whole group could be arrang- cd on plan that would give Little Rock one of the most beautiful civic eenters in the country. . .th these buildings standing on the hill sur rounding the capitol. the view down Capitol avenue from Main street would be magnificent"
 Governor Donaghey expressed him self as being in hearty accord with Mr Schader's idea and said he would do anything in his power if it were possible to bring such a condition about.
 Nf. Schader was enthusiastic in his praise of the new capitol.
 T have visited most of the state capitols in the West and Central West, as well as many of the public buildings of Canada" he said. but have not seen any that surpasses the Arkansas capitol The location is ad mirable and full advantage of 1t has been taken in the erection of the building. IL is a structure of whiea the state should be proud

 There has been considerable vneasi. ness in Amity about fire, which led to the stringent measures adopted by the city council. Explosives have been handled promiscuously. The business section of town is construct. ed in the form of q hollow square with the exception of two business structures, and all the buildings are Of frame construction. It is feared that if fire should break out in any of these buildings. it would be al- most impossible to save the town from entire destruction.
