ENDS HER LIFE
» IN WATERY GRAVE.
Fourteen Year Old Idella Johnson
Commits Suicide Monday Night
By Jumping From Bridge Into
Lake—B o d y Recovered
Early Tuesday
Morning.
Idella Johnson, a girl of but four
teen years of age, the ,daughter of a
well-known family, who came here
from Woodruff county a few years
ago, ended her young life Monday
evening, shortly after eight o’clock,
by throwing herself over the railing
of tlie bridge connecting East New
port with the city proper and com
mitting her body to the placid waters
of the lake.
The shadows of night were gather
ing, when the peculiar actions of the
girl attracted the attention and prof
fers of friendly assistance and advice
from passers-by,who chanced to meet
her upon the suicidal mission which
probably then ruled her mind.
Robt. Wallace and J. S. Hill return
ing to the city met the young girl near
iuu auvi ui ^/uooujg uvi)
noted that instead of crossing the
bridge, she turned aside and passed
under the approach upon the west
side of the lake. Fearing that some
thing must be wrong by the strange
actions of the maiden and feeling a
friendly interest in her welfare, as the
family had been neighbors in East
Newport, the two men returned to
the bridge and Mr. Wallace went be
neath the approach. There, bowed
in sorrow, her face covered by a
handkerchief wet in tears, and crying
bitterly, sat the young girl. Mr. Wal
lace attempted to comfort her in the
grief that seemed to have completely
overcome her, advising her to return
home, for she said she had run off.
This she refused to do, but consented
to go to the home of relatives named
McNeese in East Newport.
The father, Mr. R. L. Johnson, had
passed by in the meantimo, looking
for his daughter as the family at home
were much worried over her disap
pearance, though it seems that some
time ago she ran away and spent sev
eral days at the home of Gub Beard, i
relative living near the fair grounds

started oh'iter way, he walked on to
ward the but Jher shop, but Hill still
felt anxious if the girl’s intentions
and thought toS if teb her by follow
ing in tne rear. ' v\en Miss Johnson
had a little more than reached the
center of the bridge and Mf. Hill was
on. the western approach, she sudden
ly quickened her pace, and throwing
oue limb over the railing cast her
body forward into space, where fif
teen feet below lay the still shimmer
ing waters of the lake.
The act had been too quickly ac
complished to give time for interven
tion and when Mr. Hill saw the fatal
plunge, he ran back toward the bank,
calling Mr. Wallace. Both heard the
splash of the water as it received its
victim, but no boat could be secured
n time to rescue the girl.
Until two next morning, the work
)f dredging the lake was kept up by
mtiring friends, when it was tempo
arily abandoned. At six thirty next
norning, the form of the drowned
iould be seen entangled in some brush
mmediately under the bridge, and
he remains were forthwith removed
o the undertaking rooms of R. F.
Irummond. The work of embalming
>roved very difficult, but the natural
olor was finally restored.

tealed to her as a relief from trouble.
An inquest was to have been held
'uesday afternoon, but Coroner Har
ison had not reached here at press

The remains will be taken to Me- I
'r°ry Wednesday, the former home
f the family. A mother, father and
hree brothers, Robert, John and Jud

PROCEEDINGS OF COUNCIL.
At a meeting of the members of the
ity council Mondas’ evening very
ttle business was accomplished other
mn of a routine character. The
asignation of W. R. Thompson was
aceived as a member of the board of
ealth and C. E. Crook appointed by
ie mayor to fill the vacancy.
The oids for the city printing were
pened and read, the city recorder
eing instructed to notify E. C. Water
lan that he must file a more com- ,
lete bid. It
A kick registered in regard to de
setive sidewalks was referred to the
reet and alley committee.
A resolution offered by W. R.
hompson was carried, instructing
/
the city treasurer to make request of
Auditor Monroe for S3.00 due the city.
The report of the auditing com
i mittee was received and those of }
mayor, marshal and recorder were
referred to that committee.
The report of the board of health
was received and ordered filed,relative
to the recent outbreak of smallpox.
The communication states that Jim
Rivers, a negro, living on Elm street,
between First and Second streets, suf
fering from smallpox, was quaran
tined on May 7th. On the same date.
Mack Roberson, a negro, living at 136
Harland Row was also found to have
smallpox, but the quarantine declared
has been raised, all danger being past.
Both of the above cases were found
by the board to have been contracted
in Jonesboro. The board futher ex
pressed confidence that the outbreak
of this disease has been completely i
suppressed, as the period of contagion
in the two cases is safely passed.
The council adjourned to meet at
four o’clock Tuesday afternoon, when
some further steps will be considered
toward the paving of Front street.
LIFE’S PATHWAY.
Our surest prospect in life is death.
Man’s riches are to be estimated rath
er by the fewness of his wants, than
. the greatness of his possessions.
When you fret and fume at the petty
ills of life remember that the wheels
which go round without creaking last
the longest.
KViortrlahir* hnnrnvoa hflnninnNB nnrl
abates misery, by the doubling of our
joy and the dividing of our gi’ief. No
great characters are formed in this
world without suffering and self-de
nial. We atti’act hearts by the quan
tities we display; we retain them by
the qualities we possess. Kind words
are the brightest flowers of earth’s
existence; they make a very paradise
of the humblest home that the world
can show. He that cannot forgive
others breaks the bridge over which
ue must pass himself; for every man
has need to be forgiven. The thought
of a nelplees old age gives all of us
moments of anxiety. The world’s
marching orders are: “On to the
grave,” but watch your track and
dodge the stumps. The last day lies
hid; therefore watch every day.—
| j Marshall (Mo.) Citizen.

TRUST*LIKENED TO RIVER.
The Western Editor makes the fol
lowing answers why a trust is like a
river: §§§■
It looks on the level, but it isn’t.
It is always next to the banks.
There are sometimes a great many
bluffs along the way.
Some are a “dam site” worse than
others.
There is a lot of water in some of
them.
Its course is strewn with wrecks.
It flows through many communities
of interest. 1 y 2
It is usually rather crooked.
It floats baubles nicely.
The big fish in it gobble up the small
frv.
Jt runs smoothest where the waters
are deepest.
It abounds with “rocks.”
Suckers are numerous.
It takes an awful frost to stop it.
Beware of running the rapids.
Trusts are like rivers.
Dam the trusts.
Licenses for the year were granted
the saloons of Newport by the county
court and city council, but the latter
body made their fee payable quarter- „
ly, which would make July lirpt the
date of a third payment and the state
license also falls due upon that
