BOTH HOUSES BUSY.
Little Rock, March 12.- Two inci
dents out of the ordinary transpired
in legislative circles yesterday. One
was the reading of a letter in the sen
ate from Harry M. Ramey of Little
Rock, making sensational charges
against ex-Senator J. F. McNemer in
connection with an insurance bill.
Mr. McNemer was out of the city yes
terday, and his side of the matter
could not be obtained.
In the house, in the discussion of
the Whitthorne bill to re-enact the
old gambling laws, Mr. McGuigan said
that he had heard that two years ago
gamblers in Hot Springs raised #17,
000 for the purpose of attempting to
defeat the Wilson bill. A storm of in
dignation arose in the house, and it
was not subdued until Mr. McGuigan
disclaimed any intention of reflecting
upon the house. Mr. Whitthorne ap
pealed to the house to vindicate him
by passing his bill, and thus saying
whether his course in the past was
worthy of the oonfldence of the gen
eral assembly, both now and in the
past. Numbers of the representatives
went to Mr. Whitthorne and assured
him they had misunderstood the pro
visions of his bill at first and gladly
voted for it after understanding the
matter. The house passed the meas
ure by an almost unanimous vote.
The house formally approved ar
ticles of impeachment against Chan
cellor Leatherman and presented the
same to the senate. President Short
appointed Senators Wilson, Hardy
and Simpson a committee to arrange
the preliminaries for the trial of the
accused.
The house reconsidered the vote by
which it passed the Briant bill, sepa
rating school taxes paid by whites and
i negroes and making negro free schools
dependent upon taxes paid by negroes.
! The house passed the Cate bill, mak
ing it unlawful for common carriers to
accept for shipment outside the state
any fish, except buffalo and catfish.
The house reconsidered the vote by
which Senator Price’s world’s fair bill
failed to pass, and the measure will
come up again.

MINISTER DEFENDS
SUNDAY BALL.
Rev. Hugh Spencer Williams, the
foremost Cumberland Presbyterian
divine of Memphis, who is leading a
movement to close saloons on Sunday
in that city, has come out flat-footedly
in favor of Sunday baseball. He
says:
“In a manner it allows the people to
worship God in a rational way by en
joying themselves by taking advant
age of those outdoor attractions which
a bounteous Creator would never have
provided if he had not intended that
they should be enjoyed.”

NECROLOGICAL.
THOMAS Q. KIMBERLIN.
Thomas G. Kimberlin, living east of
Newport, aged about 58 years, died at
his home Thursday morning about
three o’clock after a week’s sickness
from Bright’s disease complicated with
pneumonia.
The funeral services will be held at
the home Friday afternoon at three
o’clock, conducted by Rev. J. W.
Smith. Burial at Walnut Grove cem
etery.
The deceased was a native of Indi
ana, having been born in Indianapolis,
where he was reared and lived until
coming to Arkansas about twelve
years ago. He was married to Miss
Flora Calvin in 1895, who survives
him together with two little daugh
ters Irene and Jessie.
He was a consistent member of the
Methodist denomination and a very
highly thoi^ght-of citizen. His integ
rity and kind disposition challenged
the admiration of all who knew him
and the sympathy of many friends is
extended the bereaved in their sor
row.
MRS. HANNAH ELIZABETH TURNER.
Mrs. Hannah Elizabeth Turner, the
wife of our fellow townsman, J. O.
Turner, died Wednesday afternoon at
two o’clock at her home on Laurel
Street.
The funeral services were held at
the residence Thursday afternoon at
two o’clock, conducted by Rev.
J. W. Smith and the remains laid
to rest in Walnut Grove cemetery.
Mrs. Turner was born January 30,
1853 in Brunswick, Missouri. She be
came a resident of Mississippi and
later of Arkansas, where in 1881 she
was married to Mr. Turner.
The deceased was a member of the
Christian church and a very lovely
character, whose many virtues won
her not only friends but an ardent
love from her helpmeet, whose life is
now barren of the sweet companion
ship of one he loved. The sympathy
of our community is his in the hour of
grief.
THE OLD MAN KNEW.
A boy out ran his allowance and
other resources so much that he was
in imminent need of aid. So he sat
down and wrote to his father thus:
“Dear Pa.- I bad the misfortune to be
upset in a boat while out on the river
and lost the beautiful watch you gave
me. 1 would like some money to em -
ploy a diver to recover it.—Your af
fectionate son, Thomas.” The old
gentleman was no fool. He replied:
“It is not worth while diving for it.
It might as well be in soak in one
place as in another.”—Ex.
