NEGRO SHOT TO DEATH.
Jim Young, Fleeing From Angry Mob,
Shot to Death and Thus Es
capes Worse Fate.
Monticello, Sept. 24.-Four
miles from Wilmar at 8 o’clock
last night Jim Young, a negro
Seeing from the wrath of an in
dignant community was overta
ken by a fate which saved him
perhaps a worse one. He was
shot to death by a posse because
he resisted arrest for a heinous
crime.
Young brutally assaulted Mrs.
Alex Hammel at Wilmar yester
day. He fled and all day there
was a vigorous search for him.
It was not until 8 o’clock last
night that he was discovered in
hiding near Wilmar. It was evi
dent that Young did not propose
' to be taken alive. He at once
opened fire on his pursuers, but
the latter were too quick for him
and the negro was silenced be
fore his shots could do any dam
age.

Negro Named for Marshal.
Pine Bluff, Sept. 24.-The Re
publican central committee o:
Jefferson county met here yester
noon and recommended Dr. R
C. Thompson as a candidate fo:
postmaster to succeed the pres
ent incumbent, Fred C. Furth
The committee also nominatec
Ferd Havis, a negro, to succee<
A. S. Fowler as United State;
marshal for the eastern distric
of Arkansas.
Havis was appointed by Presi
dent McKinley as postmaste
here eight years ago, but the sen
('ate refused to confirm the ap
nointment and Louis Altheime
was appointed and confirmed
Four years later Havis was agaii
\ recommended, but Furth receiv
ed the appointment over the Re
publican committee’s recommen
dation. He will endeavor to se
sure his reappointment in th
same manner.
Training for Success.
Training counts more for sue
ces today than ever before ii
world’s history. To succeed to
day you must be trained; th
professional world legally de
mands it, the business worl
does not demand it legally, bu
from a higher law—the law o
necessity.
Young men and women wh
were earning from $15 to $30 pe
month secured upon graduatio
positions paying from $40 to $8
per month. By this you see tha
in from three to five month
time their earning capacity wa
almost thribbled. Give this
careful thought from a financial
standpoint, and you will see the
great advantage in attending a
first class business college, and
completing, in a thorough man
ner, a course of bookkeeping and
business training, shorthand and
typewriting or telegraphy.
The school that is today enroll
ing more students and placing
more graduates in positions than
any other school in this part of
the country is the Memphis Com
mercial College. If you would
like to see a copy of their large
free illustrated catalogue. Ad

FURTHER BOODLE CASES.
Pulaski Grand Jury Reconvenes and
Promises Further Boodle
Revelations.
Little Rock, Sept. 23.—The Pu
laski county grand jury will re
convene Monday after a recess
of two months, and it is confi
i dently expected that there will
be warmer times before it is
finally adjourned than occurred
during the last session, when the
state was aroused from a lethar
gy of years by the sensational
revelations brought about by
Prosecuting Attorney Rhoton in
his investigations of legislative
corruption.
More Graft Charges.
Under the Jeff Davis military
quarantine system the boys of
the state guard are required to
leave their homes and do service
| day and night at 45 cents a day,
j while his notary publics walk
! through the trains swearing pas
sengers at * 50 cents a swear,
grafting as high as $150 a day.
I What do you think of that?—Hot
1 Springs News.
It was “heralded far and wide”
when Gov. Davifc got his new
board of health going that the
graft business ceased, that health
certificates with notary public’s
seal and signature were free.
Many of Jeff’s “speilers” be
gan to howl about what Jeff had
. done—had put an end to graft.
• I If the News is correct as to the
. i charges it makes, the graft busi
ness is still going at a lively
.! pace, and if notary publics are
. j holding up passengers at 50 cents
| each, then a few notaries ought
[ i to be kicked off the trains. Per
l i haps that would put an end tc
5 it.—Pine Bluff Graffic.
t Bidding for Business.
We notice that the big mail or
' der houses of Chicago and St.
r Louis are flooding the country
‘! with advertising matter, and are
seemingly making a greater ef

' j considerable amount of business
' | from this part of the country,

The above will also apply tc
this part of the country. It’suj

DOUBLE TRACKING MOUNTAIN.
Contract Let for Double Lines at Little
Rock and Texarkans.
A contract for double tracking
the main line of the Iron Moun
tain at Little Rock and Texar
kana has been let to C. F. Smith
& Co. of Memphis and Scott &
Sons of St. Louis. The contract
calls for a total of 25 miles of
double track. The main line will
be doubled seven miles north and
eight miles south of Little Rock
and ten miles north of Texar
kana.
When this work is completed
between Paragould and Helena
it will open up a through line
from St. Louis to New Orleans,
connecting at Alexandria with
the Texas Pacific. It is expect
ed the work will be completed
about the first of next year.
Wilson Gets It All.
The entire White River line is
to be put under the direction of
Superinteddent Wilson instead
of that portion from Cotter to
T^brora, as hereafter. This will
give Mr. Wilson an additional
135 miles of track to look after
from Cotter to Newport. Train
master Duley will also come in
'for double mileage. This will
necessitate the removal of the
superintendent to Cotter, which
move will likely be made as soon
as through traffic is established
or shortly thereafter.—Cotter
Courier.
Man Killed at Hoxie.
Hoxie, Sept. 23.—An unkoown
white man was killed by Iron
Mountain passenger train No. 1
here about 9 o’cock Thursday
night. The man was lying
across the track at the north end
of the switch yards, and the
engineer did not have time to
I stop his engine before the body
was struck. The body was lit
erally ground to pieces.
The coroner’s jury was unable
to find how the man came to be
| on the track.
Catarrh Cannot Be Cured
with LOCAL APPLICATIONS,
as they cannot reach the seat of
| the disease. Gatarrh is a blood
or constitutional disease, and in
order to cure it you must take
internal remedies. Hall’s Ca
tarrh Cure is taken internally,
and acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces. Hall’s
Catarrh Cure is not a quack
medicine. It was prescribed by
j one of the best physicians in
; this country for years, and is a
regular prescription. It is com
posed of the best tonics known,
combined with the Dest blood
purifiers, acting directly on the
mucous surfaces. The perfect
| combination of the two ingre
dients is what produces such
! wonderful results in curing Ca
tarrh. Send for testimonials

YOUR EYES ARE YOUR ERIENDS
If you’ll give ’em half a chance.
Yet how do you treat them,
what do you demand of them?
Give them a rest once in a while
and note the difference. What
ever your eye deficiency, see us
about it. The “seeing” is free,
and perhaps we’ll help you to
see better with little expendi
ture. Worth looking into, isn’t
it?
