Operator Hurt.
fl over from las, week.

Left over from last week.
 Miss Jessie Rose. chief operator fer the :. w. T. X T. Co, in this city was the victim of very severe acci- dent on Tuesday afternoon. It was rumored on the streets that the young lady. who was engaged in her duties at the long distance board. thoughtlessly placed a connecting plug in her mouth, then by some un- lucky chance she either touched or placed her elbow on the push button that releases about 2l0 volts of elec- tricity and produces the ring. Inthis instance, however, there was no ring produced, but Miss Rose received the powerful juice directly into her mouth and the proximity of the charge to the spinal cord and the base of the brain gave the young lady such a severe shock that she was rendered unconscious for perhaps more than two hours. Two physicians were summoned and after working with the unfortunate girl more than an hour, pronounced her not seriously hurt, and expressed the belief that she was more victim of fright and shattered nerves than of real injury. At the time this tragic circumstance occurred excitement ran high at the exchange. It was said that when Miss Rose received the shock, she threw up her hands and exclaimed: Mrs. Prude, that has killed me- and fell over lifeless upon the floor. A cot was produced iD a jiffy and while the doctors were being hurried Y summoned the girl was tenderly placed upon il, where she remained throughout the greater part of the afternoon, being removed shortly be- fore o'clock to the residence of Mr and Mrs. Albert Gr0bmyer, where she boards. A Times man visited the exchange, and looked at Miss Rose, who had the appearance of one sleeping quietly. The employees of the exchange would give us no infor- nation whatever with reference to the accident and what of the details we learned were picked up on the street. Be it said to the credit of the Southwestern, however, that everything that kindness and skill can suggest is being done for the re- lief and comfort of Miss Rose, de spite the fact that her distress and undoing resulted from her own care lessness and thoughtlessness.

Avoid Sedatiye Cough Medicines.

If you want to contribute directly to the occurrence of capillary bron- chltls and pneumonia use cough medi- clnes that contain codine, morphine, heroin and other sedatives when you have cough or cold. An expecto- rant like Chamberlain's Cough Reme- dy is what is needed That cleans out the culture beds or breeding places for the germs of pneumonia and other germ diseases. That is why pneu- monia never results from cold whe Cham berlain's Cough Remedy is used. It has world wide reputation for its cures. It contains no nor. phine or other sedatives.

Grand Jury Report.

 ton, presiding at the September term of the circuit court of St. Francis county, Arkansas, September 2G. 1912:
 We beg to submit herewith report Of the proceedings that have come be- fore us at this term of court.
 We have examined lls witnesses. and have returned 8 true-bills, 26 for felonies and for misdemeanors A committee of three was appoint. ed by the foreman to visit the poor house and examine into it's condition. and it's report is herewith attached and made part Of these returns. We visited the County Jail in a body on the 25th day of September, 1912 and examined the condition of the same carefully and found it well Kept, clean, and in sanitary con dition in as much as conditions and circumstances would allow.
 We found in the Jail IS prisoners 9 that had been tried and convicted and that had not had their trials. The prisoners. with the exception of few. expressed themselves as well pleased with the food and attention given them, and their physical ap- pearance justified this statement. We found from reports of the county Commissioners that the books and accounts of the County are correctly kept.
 All magistrates and road overseers have made their reports according to law.
 We also beg to call your Honors attention 10 the congested condition of the Jail and feel that the cell room is inadequate for as much con- fort of the prisoners as should be accorded them, and suggest. that more cell room be added.
 We also wish 10 call the Courts at tentiOn 10 the fact that there is no toilet in the corridor of the Jail. which We think is very necessary, as at times there are more prisoners in Jail than the cells will accommodate and they have to be taken care of in the corridor.
 We think that the congested con- dition of the Jail as it now stands is d menace to the health of the iailor and his family, also the prisoners, in case some courageous disease should break out, we therefore recommend it be remedied
