If hews accounts of the hanging are true, it is fortunate that courthouse hangings are soon to be abolished. Listen to this news story: "The death march from the courthouse, where Davidson had been closely guarded since his arrival here Saturday, to the scaffold, some 300 yards, through the principal streets of the city, commenced at 10:45, and was a sight never to be forgotten. A vast crowd, numbering hundreds of men' and women, had stood for hours around the courthouse square, waiting for the sheriff and his deputies to emerge from the building with their prisoner.

As soon as the doors were thrown open and the start to the scaffold was made, the officers and the prisoner. a place for everything and if everything were not kept in its place it would npj take many, hours for the entire business to become chaotic Every transaction of every office of the municipal government finally finds its way to Mr. Oliver's office, where i is at once taken care of.

They closed in on the high board fence surrounding the scaffold until it seemed it would be wrecked.

Deputy sheriffs found it necessary to draw their revolvers to force the people back. After the crowds were beaten back by the officers the execution proceeded without mishap, Davidson apparently dying instantly. "After the body was cut down and placed in the coffin, many viewed the body, which was claimed by relatives and will be. buried at Davidson's old home near Zinz, where the crime was committed.

BABY HEALTH CONTEST.

The announcement that a baby health test is to be held at the State Fair this fall completes the circle started when the first baby health contest ever held in the State of Arkansas was conducted in this city last May under the auspices of the baby clinic committee of this city. At this first contest few knew what was to be expected, but when the work was understood it met with instantaneous approval and aroused the greatest interest. The awards for the first contest were necessarily based upon the physical condition of A GOOD MOVE BY COUNCIL.

Dr. Dabney entered practice in Marietta about fifteen years ago. He made a specialty of eye, ear and throat operations.

It was death on the operating tabid of an aged and wealthy farmer, Jacob Schaad, that brought Dr. Dabney's career to a climax. Schaad had a tumorous growth on his upper jaw.

Mayor Taylor deserves credit for giving the city this handsome building. It presents a beautiful exterior and the apparatus housed in the station is thoroughly modern.

People of every city take pride in their fire department, and Little Rock has every good reason for being justly proud of the fire fighting apparatus exhibited on the streets last Thursday.

'Don't replied a secretary. The horrified nurse ran from the examination in the baby clinic. The committee also opened correspondence with the authorities of the State Fair and induced them to take advantage of the offer of a prominent woman's paper whereby a first prize of $200 and medals for the contestants were donated by that paper to a contest to be held for the babies entire State.

He was president of the American Bar Association in 1891-92 and 1901-02. When President Roosevelt sought representative men to reflect the dignity of the United States at the Peace Conference at The Hague in 1906, he selected Joseph Choate, the great New York jurist, and JudgeUriah M. Rose of Little Rock. At a banquet which President Roosevelt attended in Little Rock he was so greatly pleased with the scholarly bearing and true Southern chivalry of Judge Rose that he ever afterwards esteemed him as a warm personal friend, and Arkansas' greatest citizen. Hence the president's recognition of Judge Rose's ability when seeking a suitable man to fill this ambassadorial post.

He attended the conference at The Hague, arid there, associated with the greatest legal minds of the world's powers, proved himself the peer of any in the consideration of weighty international problems. Judge Rose was approachable, affable, and kind; he was not brusque or repellant, and the humblest was treated as kindly as the highest. fiom Marshall, picked up an unknown other can fill. Such as he must Holland have had in mind when he prayed the prayer that resounds through the ages as a rebuke to the time-server and the charlatan, "God give us men." For fifty-three years he had been a towering figure in the intellectual, the legal and the on-Btructive life of Little Rock, one in whom truly was no guile, rising, "sun-crowned" above the sordid and the small. Judge Rose was not an ambitious man as the politician and sordid statesmen appraise am yet he was not a pedant.

He was probably more thoroughly versed in the general tenets and principles of legal lore than any of his confreres, and yet he did not shout aloud his learning from the house-tops, nor vaunt himself above his fellows. The very fact that he did know prevented his becoming a pedantic, vain-glorious seeker after the bauble fame, which came without his seeking. For more than half a century he had served his people well, yet he never held nor sought an elective -office, and had served but one term on the bench by appointment, although his services were frequently sought by other jurists.
