.•pan Remmel Confident.
Washington, Jan. 28. —Chair
man Remmel of the Arkansas
Republican state central commit
tee left Washington yesterday
afternoon on his way to Little
Rock. He left the city making
sweeping claims, among them
/(< that he would succeed Col. Fow
- ler as United States marshal of |
the Eastern district of Arkansas.
The fact leaked out today that
Col. Fowler has the indorsement j
of every member of congress
from Arkansas, and in addition
has the support of Gov. Davis.
The latter, it was thought at one j
time, would come out in favor of
Remmel, owing to a reported

COVINGTON AGAIN ARRESTED.
Presidenl of Arkansas Senate Arrested
On Three Indictments for Bribery
And Conspiracy.
Little Rock, Jan. 28.—Senator
Alonzo W. Covington of Clarks
ville, president of the senate at
the last session of the general
assembly, was arrested yester
day on a charge of bribery for
the second time since the grand
jury began its investigation of
boodling charges about nine
months ago.
Senator Covington was taken
into custody on three bench war
rants, two of which charge him
with bribery and the other with
conspiracy. The warrants were
issued on indictments which were
returned by the grand jury upon
its adjournment Friday. All
three of the indictments are
based upon the alleged proceed
ings connected with the two bills
introduced in the last legislature
providing for the reannexation
of Argenta to the city of Little
Rock.
One of the indictments charges
Senator Covington with accept
ing a bribe of $1,300 from some
person unknown to the grand
jurors to influence his vote on
the annexation bills. The other
bribery indictment charges him
rri\7inrr Qfnr TT' H Rnlf
of Carroll county a bribe of $250
to influence the latter’s vote on
the same bills. The third indict
ment charges Senator Covington
with conspiring vvLh another
member of the senate to vote and
use their influence against any
bills that might be introduced for
the annexation of Argenta to
Little Rock.
Sensation in me IraylorXase.
Searcy, Jan. 28—The case of
State vs. James Traylor, charged
with the murder of Sutton
Thompson, consumed the day in
circuit court. The evidence on
the part of the state tended to
show that James Traylor had
gotten into a difficulty with
Thompson apparently for the
purpose of killing him, but the
prosecution failed to show any
motive for the killing. The de
fense has made out a strong case
of self-defense.
The sensation of the day was
when William Booth, who is also
indicted for the same crime, tes
tified that a certain person had
made a proposition to him to
turn state’s evidence and incrim
inate the others, no matter how
guilty he was, and he would see
that he was turned loose.
The case will go to the jury
Monday.
Hubbard Takes Twenty-one Years.
Ed Hubbard, who was convict
ed in Randolph circuit court last
year on the charge of murder in
the first degree in the drowning
of Pleas Burns, and sentenced to
hang, and whose case was last
week reversed and remanded for
a new trial by the Arkansas su
preme court, which tribunal was
apr ^aled to, last Wednesday en
tered a plea of guilty in the sec
ond degree, in the Randolph cir
cuit court, and was sentenced to
21 years in the penitentiary by
Judge Meeks of Pocahontas.
Hubbard, on good behavior,
stands a chance of oeing released
in 13 years.

ARKANSAS COMPANY BROKt.
Security fire Insurance Company of
Little Rock Passes Into Hands
of a Receiver.
_
Little Rock, Jan. 28—The Se
curity Fire Insurance Company
of Little Rock, the largest and
oldest of the state tire insurance
companies, was placed in the
hands of a receiver at 8 o’clock
last night by Chancellor Hart,
Charles McKee being appointed
receiver and placed under $30,000
bond. The liabilities of the
company are placed at $123,000
and the assets are $39,000. It is
alleged that the indebtedness
will wipe out the capital stock of
$50,000 and require $34,000 in
addition to liquidate its liabilities.
The cause of the trouble is attri
buted to the taking over of the
assets and liabilities of the old
Security Mutual, which was ab
sorbed by the Security Fire In
surance Company one year ago.
The company has in force
about $4,000,000 insurance, and
received in premiums during
1905 over $70,000. The Federal
Surety Company of Indianapolis
is on the bond of the defunct
company to the amount of 20,000.
This bond is required by the state.

Carthage Offers Protest.
The action of the Missouri
Pacific system in starting White
River trains from Joplin instead
of Carthage has aroused the ire
of Carthage business men. It is
claimed that when Carthage
raised the money for building the
new road into that city a con
tract was signed by Ru-sell
Harding, then general manager
of the Missouri-Pacific, guaran
teeing that Carthage would be
the terminus of White River
trains. The action of C. H.
Kohrer, district agent of the
road, a resident of Joplin, and
who has financial interests in
that city, in securing the first
passenger train service with ter
minus at Joplin is considered a
violation of the contract signed
by Mr. Harding. — Yellville Echo.

Months tn Chicago.
Chicago, Jan. 28.—William A.
Garland, son of former United
States Attorney General A. H.
Garland of Arkansas, thanked
Justice Caverly yesterday after
the magistrate had sentenced
him to the Bridewell.
“I shall send you out therefor
six months,” said the justice,
“but if we find that you have
been able to give up the drug
before that time I will see that
you are released. Then we will
do our best to find work for you.7 7
Garland was arrested Thurs
day night with a package con
taining a brick under his arm,
which, he admitted, he intended
to throw through a window for
the purpose of robbery.
“Morphine is to blame,” de-|
dared Garland, “and I am glad

A Woman’s
Gratitude
’“For more than a year I
had been a sufferer, completely
broken down. 1 had not slept
but two or three hours any
night for weeks. I had such
awful misery in my head, and
oh, J was so irritable. 1 could
not depend upon my judge
ment, and my memory was
failing. 1 realized that I was
losing my mind, and I thought
the grave, or worse, the asy
lum, would be my doom. My
doctor said my case was be
yond the reach of medicine. I
went to a druggist and told
him my condition. He recom
mended Dr. Miles’ Nervine;
he was pretty sure it would
help me, so I bought a bottle.
That night I took a table
spoonful, and fell asleep in a
few minutes, the first rest I
had in weeks, and oh, I will
liV v v J I.VI i Li it v v. l- vv
while I live. I have continued
taking it, and sleep like a baby,
and gain rapidly.”
MRS. VIOLA BARKER,
Orange, Texas.
Dr. Miles’ Nervine is sold by your
druggist, who will guarantee that the
first bottle will benefit. If it fails, he
will refund your money.
