BANKING LAWS AND BLUE SKY
Arkansas Officials to Visit Several
 States to Study Them.

Little Rock, Oct. 2 (SpeciaD - Bank Commissioner John NJ. Davis and his deputy, J. D. Covey, left Little Rock Sunday night for a ten days trip to Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma, where they will study the banking laws and departments of those states.
 The Missouri banking law 'fs somewhat similar to that of Arkan- sas, and the officials of the new state department will spend most of the time in Jefferson City. They will also devote a portion of the time in Topeka for a study of the Blue Sky department, for the Ar kansas bank examiner has charge of this department in this state. Fl
 Commissioner Davis will devote most of his time in Oklahoma tC investigation into the handling ot the guaranty feature of the state banking law. As the labor interest: are to initiate bank guaranty act Commissioner Davis feels that ht might as well look into the matter now and not have to make a triI later. Should the project be de- feated, there will be nothing lost for the officials go to Oklahoma Git. anyway to look into the manner il which the state banking departmen is handled.

JURY COMMISSIONERS HAVE BEEN APPOINTED
Judge Bowling Spent Over an Hour Instructing Them-TO Have
 More Jurors.

Circuit Judge Bowling Tuesday morning appointed the jury com missioners for the coming year, They are H. S. Arnold of Hatfield, w. D. Durham of Mena and c. |. Lofts of Egger. After their ap- pointment the judge spent some time over an hour charging them. He spent considerable time desc"ib- ing the kind of men they should se- feet, telling them to get men of good habits, character, integrity and temperate habits.
 Besides the selection of the reg ular grand and petit jurymen and their alternates, Judge Bowling gave the commissioners instructions to make an additional list of fifty men who could be called on in an emergency. This action was caused by the difficulty of getting enough men outsof the regular lists to make up the juries.

"DUCK" PATTERSON
 IS IN PEN AT LAST
Johnson County Farmer, After a Weeks Futile Effort, Admitted to PPiSOn-CaSe Without
 a Parallel.

Little Rock, Oct. 26.-"Buckn Pat terson Saturday succeeded in enter ing the Arkansas penitentiary aft CT a weeks fruitless effort. The Johnson county farmer was admit ted to the penitentiary shortly after 5 o'clock, after he had returned from Russellville, where he had gone to procure his commitment papers. Upon arriving there, how ever, he learned the document had been forwarded to the penitentiary authorities, and immediately set about upon his return.
 With PatterSon's return there closes an incident virtually unpar- alelled in the criminal history of Arkansas, and surpassed in but few others. Sentenced to the peniten- tiary in Russellville, Pope county, for a murder near Clarksville, ln Johnson county, Patterson left Clarksville, his home, for the penl- tentiary here. He intended to ob- tain his commitment papers as he came through Russellville Monday morning, but the clerks of the court there had neglected to prepare the instrument. Patterson came to Lit tie Rock without his papers. He was unable to enter the prison without them and went to the Glea- son hotel. Early Tuesday morning he aroused the attention of em- ployes of the hotel by declaring he had been poisoned. He was later removed to the hospital in the peni- tentiary and remained there until Thursday afternoon.
 Thursday afternoon he came to the city, and Thursday night disap- peared. No clue was left as to his whereabouts, and it was not until he calmly walked into the prison last night and announced, I'm here," that any knowledge of him was held by the prison authorities Patterson said he had walked part of the way to Russellville and rid den the remainder.

LIGHTNING BOLTS
 SHOCK SEVERAL
C. B. Lyons, Mrs. P. M. White and Baby, Lee Alexander and Others Had Narrow Escapes-Tele-
 phones Out of Commission.

c. B. Lyons, county cotton weigh CT, was knocked down and severely shocked Wednesday afternoon by the heavy bolt of lightning which killed Kasselbrook, the fine horse belonging to A. c. Bratcher.
 MT. Lyons was standing in the rear door of Pettys store when the crash came. The bolt completely paralyzed his right side for a time, and as yet Mr. Lyons plainly feels the effect of the shock. This is the second time he has been shocked by lightning within the past two months, and his friends now suggest that he have a lightning rod attached to his hat and reach ing to the ground.
 The same bolt severely shocked Mrs. p. M. White and her 4-months- old baby.
 A bolt of lightning struck the flag pole on the building occupied by Alexander Brothers grocery store, and after knocking the plaster from the ceiling of the second floor, went out at a window, breaking the glass and temporarily stunned Lee Alexander and others who were in the store.
 At s. M Cunningham's blacksmith shop John Lilies was welding some points on a buggy axle when a bolt struck his work, with the result to him of a painfully injured back.
 Phillip Vanbibber was coming into town when lightning struck a tele- phone pole near him, knocking down one of his mules and giving Mr. Vanbibber quite a shock. Mr. and Mrs. John Elrod were sitting in their home when bolt of lightning, striking near the house entered the room over the telephone wire and exploded with loud noise but fortunately did not injure them
 About fifty telephones were put out of commission as the result ot the storm, and the light fuses at the Lyric theater and the Commercial hotel were blown out.

A Curious Irea.

In the village of Clynnog, Wales, there is an old cottage, formerly d country tavern, upon the roof of which there is full grown syca- more tree. About fifty years ago a seeding from neighboring church. yard. where other sycamores are growing, found resting place in the corner of the wall above d slab of stone over the entrance to the building. The young tree thrived for time on the small quantity of soil collected in the corner of the walls and finally forced its roots downward through the walls into the earth below. From the outside no trace of the roots can be seen.

Matter of Fact.

A visitor from London found in cafe at Rotterdam a Dutchman who had been about a bit and who spoke English perfectly well.
 This Dutchman was smoking a china pipe of remarkable size and beauty, and the Londoner, an ad- mirer and collector of such bric-a- brac, took the liberty to comment upon it.
 "You could not stumble upon d pipe like that every day." said the Englishman.
 The Dutchman took three or four whiffs at the pipe and then slowly removed it from his mouth.
 "Certainly not without breaking it, he said gravely. - London Chronicle.
