Found Danger Signal.

Fort Smith, Jan. 3l.-At the same point where an attempt was made on Thursday night to wreck the Kansas City-Hot Springs Special of the Missouri Pacifc-Iron Mountain system near Mickey, Oklahoma, by placing a large pile of obstruc- tions on the tracks a red lan- tern was found between the rails by the crew of a freight train last night. What connection the lantern had with the at tempt to wreck the special near the same point last November, the officials of the road are unable to explain.
 Railway detectives investigat- ing the matter said today they believe boys are responsible.

Caught By Ex-Comrade.

Little Rock, Jan. 31.-Recog- nizing Joe Tillman a negro, as a fugitive from the county farm, when he saw him at a ne- gro restaurant at West Capitol avenue and Spring street, yes terday afternoon, Will Williams, also a negro, and an ex-convict, captured Tillman and turned him over to the officers at the penitentiary, thereby securing the $25 reward which the state offers for the arrest and return of all escaped eonvicts. Will Hams is said to formerly have worked with Tillman on the county farm.
 Williams is said to have known of the presence of Tillman in the city for some time, but did not mention the fact to the au- thorities until yesterday, when he is said to have gotten out of funds.
 Knowing where Tillman got his meals, he called Luther Cas- ting, an electrician at the pen itentiary, and asked him to come to the restaurant. When Cast ling arrived, Williams, who had borrowed a revolver, entered the restaurant and effected the other convict's capture, and |turned him over to Castling.
 Tillman was given a sentence of six months in the penitentiary in 1908 on a charge of invol- untary manslaughter. He es- caped January 4, 1909.

Negro Strangled to Death.

Ben Golden, a negro about 30 years of age with a penitentiary record, who was subject to epi- leptic fits was found dead at the corner of Fifth and Walnut streets early Monday morning by passers-by, and a large crowd was soon gathered at the scene.
 Golden is said to have suffered a fit Sunday morning at the home of his sister 404 Bridge Avenue and that night started to his home in the lower end of town. When he was. overcome by an- other attack, he doubtless fell into the curb-ditch and there strangled and drowned in 2 or 3 inches of water.
 His body showed that he had been dead for several hours and there were no marks of violence to warrant an inquest. He leaves a wife and one child. The re- mains were taken to Drum monds undertaking rooms and arrangements made for his bur- ial Tuesday.

"Brer" Groundhog didn't hardly get a Hook in" on Mon- day, February 2, if there's any, thing scarry about that shadow of "his'n,," because Old Sol was out early with all his beams, casting shadows to the fore and aft of him. These folks who want an early

Senator Clarke is man so far above the ordinary in oratory, as we'll as in ability, that one would expect to see an audience in awe of him, but not so at Mor- rilton. Those farmers appreclat- ed his fairness, and seemed to appreciate the frankness of a man who would come before them and declare they were not Common peepul," as is the stock in trade of the political blgot. Senator Clarke did not refer to them as the honest yoemanry of the soil" and that too they appreciated. His very bearing convinced the farmers that ne IS their friend, and would be whe- ther he received their votes or not, and thereby the voters so attached themselves to Jas. r. Clarke that all the political thun- der of his opponent will be una ble to jar them loose.
 Delivering such a speech as Senator Clarke did Saturday and is continuing to do this week, is a physical exertion ana a mental strain. Senator Clarke works with his audience, and the more it is pleased, the greater IS his effort. Such exertion must tell upon a candidate, but to thls strain, Senator Clarke has an

 Little Rock, Feb. 2.-The su- preme court today reversed and dismissed the appeal of the Rock Island ailroad Company versus Felix Brown from the Jackson circuit court, where appellee se- cured judgment for $1,000 dam ages against the railroad by reason of injuries sustained when appellee was pushed off the rear end of the Rock Island train near Cotton Plant at the time of the Lynch-Kennedy duel. Manning and Emerson of Clar- endon and Stuckey and Stuckey of Newport were counsel for ap- police in the trial of the suit.

California Politics.

California has distinct va liety of politics. A most origin al state in many ways, Califor mia never does anything in d half-hearted way. The native sons are quick to quarrel and quick to act. Since the days of "49" the state has been source of much trouble to the national administration.
 President Mckinley had his troubles with California, so did President Roosevelt, President Taft found the state a continu- ous source of worry, and now President Wilson and Secretary Bryan have their hands full in trying to prevent an open rup- ture with Japan because of the drastic alien land law recently enacted.-Memphis Commercial Appeal.

Lon Mercing Shoots Self.

Beebe, Feb. 1.-Lon Mercing, 22 years old, shot himself to- night at the home of his step mother, inficting a flesh wound. The bullet entered the abdomen and passed out his left side. He is said to have been Respondent at times since the death of his father, Marshal A. V. Mercing, who was killed about two and a half years ago. Tom Choate, charged with the killing, was sentenced to 15 years in the pen itentiary by a jury at Searcy Friday.

 was even started, and convincine grunts from grizzly headed sons of toll told time after time when the thrusts went home.
 l There was lacking that bois- terous shouting, tossing of hats and stamping of feet. The audi ence was not packed" and it showed as such from the start. Packed" audiences are easily distinguished, for in them there are a few leaders who start all applause, and who lead in the yelling. The audience was too interested to make any great demonstration, for to do so would mean the loss of some pointed truth being uttered by the speaker.
 To an experienced campaigner, and one who has attended hun- dreds of political speakings in different parts of the state, it would appear as though Senator Clarke left with every man who heard him a Clarke voter. The handshaking and words of com pliment at his close would cer- tainly indicate such.
 Another point, which clearly indicates the changing charac- teristic of the Arkansas political audience, was in the nature of the applause. Senator Clarke was most literally applauded when he spoke of the accom- plishments of the Democratic party under the leadership of President Woodrow Wilson, and particularly when he told of the part he had taken in it. He was applauded when he turned the cast upon him by his opponent, into accomplishments of which a statesman would be proud, and of which his consti- tuents were even more so. At all times the applause was sponta- neous, evidently coming from all parts of the house at the same time. There were no leaders none are required when the en- thusiasm of the audience is gen. uine. When Senator Clarke be- gan to bear down on his oppon- ent the applause was more in the form of mods of approval-the crowd evidently having the feel ing that Senator Clarke was burying a political adversary, and they had no desire to inter rupt the job being done thor oughly or deep.

CIRCUIT COURT
 UNDER HEADWAY
Both Grand and Petit Juries Made Up And Charged the
 First Morning of Court.

The February term of the Jackson circuit court opened Monday morning, with Judge R E. Jeffery presiding, Prosecuting Attorney C. M. Erwin, Sheriff McCuistion and Circuit Clerk C. E. Smith all present to discharge their court duties.
 Judge Jeffery had both iur- ies completed and ready for bus mess before the noon recess. He has the reputation of expediting court business and the start upon this term was made in even less time than usual, which makes the opening suspicious for dis posing of a large part of the heavy docket.
 His charge to the grand jury was brief and decisive and was listened to attentively by not ,cnly it's members, but many spec tators and the local bar. J. M. Gibson of Grubbs was named as foreman by the court, and c. E.. Penix of Tuckerman was chos- en clerk by the members of the jury at it's first session.
 Two full panels of the petit jury were made up after which the law docket was called in which to enter motions and file papers.
 Only one member of the petit jury was excused, Major Moore, but from the petit venire the fol- lowing were excused: Garland Hurt, Ferdinand Tonney, J. w. Nicholson, z. T. Calhoun, Jr., j.. T. Malone and c. s. Oliver.
 In the cause of J. T. Craft versus the Iron Mountain, plain tiff suing as administrator of the estate of Tom Craft, non- suit was taken.
 In the Overcup Slough Ditch ing district, an order was grant ed for the levying of taxes. J. H. Murphy filed a report as justice of the peace in Breckin- ridge township, explaining that his report for the last term had been filed with the county clerk through mistake.
 The grand jury as made up, consists of:
 J. M. Gibson, foreman; c. E. Penix, clerk; R. H. Hunter, G. A. Pilquist, Andrew Johnston, R. D. Dennis, w. F. Smith, D. l.. Shoffner, Elmer Hodges, J. M. Jackson, R. H. Mcdonald, w. R. Harvey, Jr., A. R. James, E. D. Gardner, J. D. Carvell, John s. Pennington.
 The petit jury consists of two full panels as follows: J. M. Witt, Walter Heard, J. M. Sel- lars, Frank Cathey, Charles s. Smith, w. F.. Hunter, N. w. Ben- gel, o. O. Hammond, J. M. Coe, R. c.
