Despite a driving rain pr. c. H nominee, was given rousing recep tion on his homecoming from Little Rock, where he remained until nomi nation was assured.
 Fully 1000 citizens met pr. and Mrs. Brough at the Frisco station and formed a parade, which proceeded 10 the courthouse, where Dr. Brough delivered a speech. At least 800 more people joined the crowd at the court house, swelling the total number present at the speaking to 1,5O0, with all available space taken.
 Senator B. H. Greenhouse, who had just been nominated for second term in the Senate and who put most of the little time he was on the stump in advocating Brough's candidacy. made a short but eloquent address of welcome. Senator Greenhouse was frequently applauded throughout his address.
 Among other things he pointed out
 
 Washington county to be governor since the election of Archibald Yell in 1S40. He held up Gov. Yell as a model for a man in that high office.
 John D. Arbuckle of Fort Smith made a large gain in his lead over Lewis Rhoton of Little Rock in the race for the Democratic nomination for attorney general. Incomplete re turns received from "A of the 75 coun ties gave Arbuckle 49,162, and Rho ton 47,2S6. Among the counties which sent in complete or practically com plete returns were Lawrence, Grant Carroll and Drew. Additional returns were received from many other coun ties. Both candidates claim the nomi nation.

 Oldfield Still Leads.
 In the Second congressional district Congressman w. A. Oldfield was still ahead of T. w. Campbell, his nearest opponent for renomination, and A. G. Gray was third. The vote stood: Old field, 11,142; Campbell, 10,464; Gray, 4,156. The returns on this race in- cluded partial returns from all 12 counties in the district. The results in other races, all of which are ap- parently decided, remained unchanged.
 Returns on delegates at large to the Democratic National Convention are very incomplete, but those at hand indicate the election of Hutton, Powell, Duty and South. Hutton has a good lead in this race. Attorney General Wallace Davis has been elected mem
  mittee, defeating Vincent Miles, pres ent committeeman.
 Few SoIons Will Return.
 While returns from many county races are still unavailable, those re- ceived indicate that only compara- lively few members of the last House of Representatives will be returned Several members of the last house have been elected to the Senate, and one senator, B. H. Greenhouse of Fay etteville, representing the Fifth dis trict. will be returned. In many of the districts senators are elected al tentatively from counties in the dis, trict, and for this reason only a few seek renomination Senator T. c. White of Pine Bluff was defeated for

HE GRADUATED FROM
 YALE AT AGE OF f4

Cheshire, June 15-In the south east part of Cheshire and nearly op- posite the present residence of War rem Andrews Elnathan Beach was an early settler. He built first-class house for those times of the lean-to design. He married Abigail Ufford of Stratford and must have made his home here about the year 1720- His first wife died in 1738- For his second wife he married Hannah. a. daughter Of Samuel Cook.
 EinaHhan Beach was considered a man of great wealth for those days and was of high standing in the par ish of New Cheshire MT. Beach died in the year 1742, aged 45 years, He left by will to the parish a bell for their new meeting house and it is evident that in accordance with this will bell was procured and placed in position in the turret of this church soon after MT. Reach's death. This was the first bell to call worship CTS to this sanctuary. On monu- mental tablet in the town cemetery may be seen the following inscription to his memory:

 In a portion of his residence or in an adjoining building in company with Samuel Cook he was engaged in the mercantile and shipping bus mess and other enterprises. Samuel Beach who lived and died in the cen ter. and his son, Burrage Beach, a noted lawyer of those times, were df- rect descendants, the former son and the latter grandson. John Beach, another son of Elnathan, also resided in this locality during his en- tire life. He was a prominent citizen O. the town.

WOMEN OF SWITZERLAND EXCEL IN CHARITABLE WORK DURING WAR

Sorrow and suffering bring out the noble qualities of mankind and when historians begin to record the events of the present stupendous conflict in Europe, they will not only laud the hero-soIdiers and sailors, but also the vast armies of valiant women who have, since the very outbreak of the war, been active as nurses and or ganizers of many wonderful undertak- ings on behalf of the men at the front.
 Immediately after the Swiss mobil- ization was completed, beginning of August. 1914, the women of Switz- erland started mobflizing, too. They debated how. the 'Stay-at-Hon1es'' could be of service to their country and their thoughts involuntari1y turn ed to the faithful watchers at the front, many of whom are not forum ate enough to have folks at home to attend to their wash and other per sonal wants. A cordial invitation was therefore sent out to all these soldiers to forward their laundry reg ularIy to g. given address where it would be attended to and mended free of charge. Worn-out garments are also replaced by new ones as funds permit. NThese so-caIled war laun- dries are a great help to the men on duty ands contribute to a considerable extent to their general well being.
 A little later on, when the Swiss army had to face the hardships of the first War-Winter, 1914-1915, and when tn eSwiss Y. M. c. A. was working hard to find quarters which could be used as reading and sitting rooms for the soldiers assigned to lonely districts where accomm odation was scarce, deputies of the Swiss Women's FSeder- ation set out to all those regions and thanks to their energetic efforts sta- bfes, barns and other forlorn haunts were quicklN transformed into pleas ant sitting rooms where women are also taking care of a modest non-aI- cOholic restaurant service.
 Generous help has also from the beginning of the war been given by the omen to all the foreign sufferers of the war and tn e historic record of in stitutions like the Agency of the Pris- oners of War at Geneva, the Siss Reliefg Bureau for the Prisoners of War at Berne, the Bernese Relief Committee for the Prisoners of War and all the charitable work done on behalf of those vast Armtes of Eva cues'' and s+Grands Blesses''-the homeless Belgians and French civil fans and the French and German se- vereIy wounded4will forever be tri- bute to the braye and kind-hearted- women of Switzerland.N
