OIOCESAN COUNCIL OF ARKANSAS
Autonomous Church For Afro-Ameri

Brown.
The session of the annual council

ted a report of his work the past
year and made a strong plea for a bish
op of his own race and jurisdiction.
The issue wras discussed by nearly
all the clergy and lay delegates for
three hours during the afternoon ses
sions today, and the council by a vote
of 45 to 3 ’opted a resolution offered
by Hon.. -stave Jones of Newport,
and seconded by Hon. John T. Hicks,
declaring the council to be in accord
with the bishop's recommendation
that the Afro-Americans be granted
an autonomous church. The diocese
of Arkansas is thus the first of any of
the states to place itself upon the re
cord in this regard.

and Ladies of Honor adjourned its
biennnial session Wednesday after
noon after one of the most enjoyable

bers than ever before, about 200 being

and better service than negro laborers.
Rev. J. B. Andrews of Siloam
Springs is conducting a series of
meetings at the Methodist church in
Fordyce.
Hot Time at Harrison.
The town of Harrison suffered from
an epidemic of fires Friday last, when
a fire originating in a blacksmith
shop spread to an adjoining store
and a livery stable, which were total
ly destroyed, nothing being saved on
account of the rapid headway of the
flames. Later in the day three large
barns and the carriage house of the
Connerly Hotel were discovered on
fiire and were utterly destroyed.
There was little, if any, insurance on
any of the property. Loss estimated
at ?3,000 to $4,000.
Sawed Through His Skull.
William Kelly, a young man em
ployed at the Davies saw mill a few
miles southwest of here, was thrown
under a saw, which sawed clear
through the back part of his skull,
causing a part of his brain to ooze out.
The boy is still alive, but no hopes
are entertained for his recovery. The
accident occurred while he was run
ning the edger. In some manner his
sleeve was caught by a spike in a
wheel, which was in motion, and which
hurled him against a saw a few feet
away.
Ten Cents Involved.
The transcript in the case of J. A.
Benner against the Jonesboro, Lake
City and Eastern Railroad Company
was filed in the Supreme Court at Lit
tle Rock recently, on appeal from the
Craighead County Chancery Court.
The suit really involves 10 cents. In
the lower court Benner was given
judgment against the railroad com
pany for $25, but he seeks to recover
$2,500 and has appealed. He’was a
passenger on one of tne trains of the
company from Jonesboro to Manila,
and having no ticket, tendered the con
ductor 25 cents as payment for his
fare. The conductor demanded 35
cents, claiming the ten-cent penalty
should be attached inasmuch as Ben
ner had no ticket. Benner refused to
pay and was put off the train.
Verdict Affirmed.
The Supreme Court has affirmed the
verdict of the Nevada County Circuit
Court in the case against Squire Smith,
a negro, charged with the murder
of John and Count Claighorn, both
white. The double murder was com
mitted in an open field on the Claig
horn place, March 8, 1905. Smith was
first sentenced to death by the Nevada
County Circuit Court, but he appealed
and tine date for his execution was
nullified by this appeal. As soon as
the mandate has been certified to the
governor a date for th% legal execu
tion will be fixed.
Fatal Shooting Affray.
J. A. Weaver is being tried at Poca
hontas, on a charge of killing Riley
Campbell in Union township, Ran
dolph county. It seems that Weaver
and Campbell were working in the
same field, and a dispute arose over
a plow, which resulted in Campbell
sending his two boys, age 8 'and 12
years, to the house after his gun, and
Weaver went for his Winchester and
used it with fatal effect, firing three
shots, two taking effect, one in the
side and the other# in the neck, just
below the ear. Campbell died on the
spot.
Visitor Was Touched.
Tom Collums, a resident of Quitman,
while visiting Little Rock recently,
■was robbed of about $40 and a pocket
book. A slit about six inches long in
one of his trouser pockets showed
how the theft had been committed.
Collum could not tell when the pock
et book had been stolen.
Another Liquor Victim.
Ed Vick of Pope county was ar
raigned before United States Com
missioner Allen at Litle Rock recent
ly on a charge of selling liquor with
out paying the government tax. He
was bound over to the Federal Grand
Jury under $250 bond and in default
of bail was con*mitted’ to jail.
Reward Offered.
Acting Governor Lee has issued a pro
clamation offering a reward of $100
for the arrest and conviction of George
Hill, who is wanted in Clark county
on a charge of murdering his wife
recently, by shooting her with a shot
gun.
Texarkana Has a Fire.
The grain and elevator establish
ment of Rosbrook & Josey, at Texar
kana was destroyed by fire recently,

meal, hay, etc., is estimated at $12,000;
insured for $5,000. The building and
fixtures were owned by Mrs. H. M.
Frank of Jefferson, Tex. Two Kansas
City Southern boxcars, loaded with
corn, standing in front of the building,
were also completely destroyed. It is
not known how the fire originated.
Apple Crop Destroyed.
The caterpillars are totally destroy
ing the apple crop in the vicinity of
Vanndale. In one orchard out from
that town they have already complete
ly stripped 500 or more trees. The
trees are almost as bare as they were
during the winter <months. Other
fruits are not being damaged to such
an extent as the apples have been.
Fifty Miles in Operation.
Fifty miles of the Rock Island Rail
road from Little Rock to El Dorado is
now in operation. The portion of
track which is being used is between
Little Rock and Fordyce.
A Close Call.
Columbus Rowton of Black Springs
had a narrow escape from death dur
ing an electrical storm lately. He
was near a clothes line when it was
struck by lightning. The flash knocked
him down and he remained unconsci
ous for some time.

Though the peach trees of Lawrence
county are said to be well fruited, it
is reliably reported that there is little
hope of many good peaches being
gathered this season. Some kind of
a fly, they say, has stung almost
every little peach and planted in it
the germ of a worm that will develop
in time and ruin the fruit. Mr. Peace,
manager of the McNair peach orchard,
which consists of 40,000 trees and is
located one mile west of Black Rock,
reports that he has made a careful
examination of the fruit on these trees
and thinks that there is no reason to
expect any perfect peaches. Last
year, one half was found at ripening
time to be wormy, and this year Mr.
Peace thinks that more than half
the crop will be faulty .Other peach
tree men report the same conditions
exicting in their orchards.

GIVE BABY WATER ENOUGH
tf Abundance of Water Is Neglected
There Is Sure to Follow
Troubles.
You ask a young mother what and
how she feeds her baby, perhaps a
year old. and quite likely she will
say: “Eight ounces of milk diluted
with two of water ” Her utensils are
kept with the most scrupulous care,
the child fed with strict regularity,
and still he is continually troubled
with constipation, and while not ex
actly ill, he is far from well. Why
does he not thrive better?
No, he is not over fed. He is un
der watered. The milk should be di
luted fully one-half. The load must
have an adequate vehicle. My baby,
now 16 months old, takes nearly one
teacup cf milk to a teed, but it is di
luted with water to make nearly a
pint, fed, of course, blood warm; it
is not sate to give cold food except
in the smallest quantities under two
years. Besides he drinks one-fourth
to one-third cup of cold water several
times during the day. He has soma
plain, solid food with his meals two
or three times a day, bread, crackers,
johnny cake,or some plain cereal with
out hulls. He has no oatmeal, no veg
etables, no sweets, but the moment
the abundance of water is neglected
there is trouble.
It is not the fats but the solids
which clog the digestion. In all foods
irritation must be avoided. But first,
last and always quantities of water
must be given to insure health. It
has been said that a baby suffers for
a “barrel” of water before it is old
enough to ask for it. Of course, it
makes more trouble and many more
napkins to wash, but it makes rosy
cheeks and abounding vitality. This
is my experience with four unusually
fat, rosy children.
If the baby is taken ill, don't neglect
the water; it is all the more necessary
then. In colds, during the feverish
period, give cold water and after that
| passes, if the child relishes it, hot
water. In measles and all dangerous
j fevers, give the water cold, but feed
it wuth a teaspoon A dozen spoonfuls
i every 15 or 20 minutes w'ill often keep
a fever below the danger point. In
any acute stomach trouble caused by
indiscretion in diet or hot weather,
give half an hour or so after vomit
ing a cup of some cereal substituta
for coffee, hot, without milk or sugar.
Water is what is needed, but plain
hot water is sometimes nauseating,
while the slight bitterness of the coffee
substitute is most acceptable and be»
sides, it has a small food value. Then
give nothing until the usual time be
tween meals has elapsed, when giva
the same drink again. By time for
the next meal after that the stomach
will be rested and the same drink
with miik and a vtry little sugar will
be all-sufficient. If possible, give no
solid food until the following day.
If this treatment is applied promptly
the bowels being moved if there is
the slightest need, the first vomiting
spell will probably be the last. When
teething, feed cold water with a spoon,
You will be surprised to see how eag
erly the baby wi’l take it, and how
much he will want It cools the guma
and fed in this wav no quantity will
do harm. The only harm water can
do is to chill the stomach, which it
will not do unless taken quickly in
I quantities.—Orange Judd Farmer.
Peanut Candy.
Two cups of New Orleans molasses.
Two cups of soft A sugar.
One cup of butter.
One saltspoon of salt.
One teaspoon of vanilla.
Six quarts of peanuts.
Put tbe butter, sugar and molasses
; on together, adding the salt after it
comes to a boil. Boil until it forms a
soft ball in cold water, then take
from the stove and beat vigorously
! ten minutes. Return to the stove and
boil until a spoon drawn through it
makes a slight path. Add the vanilla
! and heat again. When beginning to
grow cold, stir in the peanuts and
pour into buttered pans. .
Something New.
Customer (after ten minutes chewing
in vain)—Waiter, what’s this?
Waiter—Beef, sir.
Customer—Well, I’m blowed! I’va
heard of the iron horse and the brazen
calf, but I never came across the india
rubber cow before.—Tit-Bits.
The Millionaire’s Privilege.
“Papa, won’t you buy me a cute lit
tle puppy?” -
"Wait till you’re a few years older,
daughter, and I’ll buy you one with a
title.”—Cleveland Leader.
East Wind on Easter.
If the wind is in the east on Eas
ter, it is regarded in some places as
a wise plan to draw water and to
wash in it, as by this means one will
avoid the various ills from the east
wind throughout the year.
Beer Cures Cancer.
Dr. Doyen, the eminent French
scientist, in the course of a paper read
before the medical congress at Lisbon,
announced the discovery of the fact that
inoculation with the yeast bacillus at
beer, cures cases of cancer.
