Little Rock, Jan. There will be
more politicians in Little Rock next

the recognized head of Democratic pa
tronage. The former campaign man.
ager of President elect Woodrow Will
son will arrive in Little Rock Friday

BENTON HAS TEN
CASES OF SMALLPOX

The little city of Benton, in Saline
county, is wrestling with a smallpox
scare. There are 10 families afflicted
with the disease, and although it is in
light form, rigid quarantine of the
affected homes is being enforced and
every precaution is being taken by the
board of health, ably assisted by the
mayor, to prevent the spreading of
the disease. Vaccination has been or
dered, and it is expected that the dis
ease win soon be stamped out.

signal HONOR FOR
ARKANSAS PRESS
EDITOR GOES TO SENATE
GOV. DONAGHEY APPOINTS J.
N. HEISKELL TO SUCCEED
DECEASED SENATOR.

Governor Geo. w. Donaghey has
conferred signal honor upon the
press of the state, in his appointment
of Editor J. N. Heiskell of the Ga
zette, to fill the unexpired term of
Senator jeff Davis. Mr.. Heiskell is a
brilliant and brainy man who will
worthily represent Arkansas at the
nations capital He leaves Little
Rock today for Washington. Cover
nor Donaghey said the appointment
was absolutely non-political
"Mr. Heiskell has never been in
politics." added the governor, land
never will be, as he has stated to me
on more than one occasion that his
conception of the duty of an editor is
such as to preclude political affilia-
tons and obligations, and in appoint
ing him, | am not attempting, nor do
expect, to create such obligation
During my term of office as governor
have been treated fairly by the Ga
zette, but no more. l expected no
more, and shall expect no more in the
| future.
81 was struck with the success of
the appointment of Senator Gordon
of Mississippi, which was non-po-
litical, and this in large measure in
fluenced me in making this appoint
ment.
"Mr Heskell is at the head of one
of the greatest factors for good in
Arkansas, and | am sure the people
will agree with me that he has used
this power and all his talents for the
development of Arkansas and for the
general good. He is one of the states
| representative men and will reflect
honor on the state in the United
States senate.
81 want his appointment to be tax
en- as recognition Of the press of the
entire state-that power which has
been the most potent factor in the de-
velopment of Arkansas and the en-
|lightenment of the public"
John Netherland Heiskell was born
at Rogersville, Tenn, November 2,
1872, the son of Carrick White Heis-
kell and Eliza Netherland Heiskell.
His grandfather on his mothers side
was John Netherland, who was the
Wing candidate for governor of Ten
nessee against Isham G. Harris. On
his fathers side his grandfather was
Frederick S. Heiskell, who establish
ed the Knoxville Register, the second
paper published in Tennessee Mr.
Heiskell attended public and private
school in Memphis, and graduated
from the University of Tennessee
He was engaged in newspaper work
in Knoxville and Memphis, and was
in the service of the Associated Press
at Chicago and Louisville, before
coming to Arkansas as editor of the
Arkansas Gazette, in the ownership
of which his brother, Fred Heiskell,
and Fred W. Allsopp, are associated
with him.
Mr.. Heiskell has never held a po-
litical office, and said yesterday that
with the election of a United States
senator by the coming session of the
Arkansas legislature, he will return
at once to Little Rock and resume his
editorial work.
Mr.. Heiskell married Miss Wilhel-
nina Mann, daughter of George r.
Mann, the architect.

Death Of Mrs. Perry.

Mrs. Laura Perry died at Ave
O'Clock on Wednesday morning al
the home of her daughter and son
Miss Lula and John Perry, in Wash
ington, D. c., aged "A years. She
had been in declining health for
several years and her death was not
unex pected.
Mrs. Perry was the daughter of the
late David Mckay and was native
of Page, having spent almost the
whole of her life in this county. She
went to Washington about seven
years ago and has lived there since.
She was greatly esteemed wherever
she was we'll known, on account OF
her amiable disposition and lovely
and submissive Christina character.
I; Her husband Pierce Perry, so we'll
known in Luray died twelve or fifteen
years ago. She left seven children,
as follows: Hugh, a contractor OF
Tennessee; Mrs. Fred Allnut, of
Seneca, Md, Mrs. H. L.. Bushong OF
Woodstock, Va, Mrs. Bessie Allnut

The Water Condition

The water in the reservoir continues
very low. and the greatest economy
in the use OF water should govern
our citizens. BY reference to the
proceedings of the council, it will be
seen that the purchase OF lthe slate
rock spring has been completed. This
will increase the amount OF mater per
day by II, 900 gallons. At other times
the flow from this spring will prob
ably increase.
1t is of great Importance to the
town that the amount of water in the
reservoirs should be greatly increas-
ed.
Ir the winter of 1885, all the
wells in the town failed, except the
one on Water street near French's
mill. That we'll supplied the town.
The failure OF water this winter would
prove more serious than at that time.
Even if some of the wells should
have water, it would be very danger
Gus to use it. The quantity in the
reservoirs should be SO increased as
to give sufficient protection in case
of fire, and to guard against dimin-
ntion on account of the. failure OF any
of the springs.
