MILLIONAIRE IN OVERALLS.
CORNELIUS VANDERBILT AS HE
WORKS IN HIS MACHINE SIIOI*.
Few wage earners work any harder
than does young millionaire Cornelius
Vanderbilt, Jr. Unlike some other
young men who have come into the
inheritance of vast wealth. Cornelius
Vanderbilt. Jr., is a man of strong
principles and a firm believer in the
nobility of labor.
After his graduation from Yale uni
versity the young man decided to
equip himself with a thorough practi
cal knowledge of every branch of rail
road work. Donning a pair of overalls
and jumper, he worked side by side
with ordinary mechanics,spending two
years’ time in the motive power and
civil engineering department of the
New York Central Railway.
He is an expert mechanic, and has
already perfected several inventions
which have come into use as improve
ments in railway equlppage. One of
these inventions is a device for use on
locomotives which has the effect of
facilitating the removal of the fire hox
from an engine, thus expediting the
work of cleaning the fire box.
Tn this picture Mr. Vanderbilt has on
one of Fincks “Detroit-Special” No.
755 Coats and Finck’s “Detroit-Special”
No. 15 Reversible Overall. All other
"wage earners” are now asking for
Finck’s “Detroit-Special” Reversible

Little Rock, Ark., March 29.—The

of impeachment to try Chancellor Le
land Leatherman of Hot Springs.

Savings Bank case and of that amount
he loaned Judge Leatherman $150.
taking his personal note for the same,
When the $400 note fell due witness
paid it $250 in cash, with interest, and
the Leatherman note.
Ed Parham, deputy circuit clerk and
chancery clerk at Hot Springs, said
that he had served by appointment ol
Chancellor Leatherman, master and
commissioner in chancery, fifteen oi
| twenty different times. He had
loaned respondent money in the
neighborhood of $100, but that it was
always done with the understanding
that the money was to be paid back.
The first loan he ever made was $5.
He made complaint about that and
gut eieuneu uij ms account witu ms
employer. The next loans were
made after he was appointed master
in chancery. A particular instance
witness remembered having received
a fee of $20 in a certain case. When
the bill was paid, the party paying

present. When the money was paid,
all parties being present, he shoved
Judge Leatherman $10 and kept $1C

Judge Leatherman about the loans,
or, in other words, there was no
agreement that he was to divide the
fees received as master in chancery
with Judge Leatherman.

total length of the bridge proper will
be 2,750 feet, but including the mason
ry approaches and the earthwork will
be 3,907 feet. It will be a double

SAFE-BLOWERS MAKE
VERY LIGHT HAUL
Walnut Ridge, March 28.—Safe
blowers got in their work in Walnu
Ridge last night. They entered thi
store of J. B. Kerchival through a rea
window and by the use of dynamiti
blew the door off its hinges. Thi
safe, which was a small one, contain
ed only books.
All the thieves got for their pain
was twenty cents out of the casl
drawer.
No one was aroused by the explos
ion, hence there is no clue.
TWO CANDIDATES FOR MAYOR
Walnut Ridge, March 23.—City pol
itics has reached a white heat, tw<
strong tickets being in the field, oni
headed for mayor by the Hon. H. L
Ponder and the other by one of thi

greater Walnut Ridge.

ATTRIBUTES OF AN ARKANSAN.
Hon. Jerre South, the Democratic
. medicine man of Baxter county, was
in Little Rock recently, and while en
gaged in a conversation with an East
ern man who had only about a vreek’s
acquaintance with the ways and man
ners, the customs of Arkansans, was
asked what were the attributes of a
true Arkansan.
“Well, stranger, I’ll tell you,” re
sponded South, leaning back in his
chair, hoisting both feet to the sum
mit of a sample trunk and patriotical
ly warming up to his theme. “The
Arkansas citizen has all the sobriety
of Kansas, the fearlessness of Texas,
the sturdiness of Iowa, the frankness
of Tennessee, the endurance of Min
nesota, the thrift of Nebraska, the
industry of Ohio, the conservative-!
ness of Indiana, the energy of Illi- j
nois, the incredulity of Missouri, the I
sauvity of Mississippi, the versatility
of Georgia, the chivalry of Kentucky
and if these attributes don’t entitle
the Arkansas citizen to all the cour
tesies in the calendar of social ameni- !
ties, then in the language of Tom;
Watson, I would like to know where
am I at.”
MANAGER UNDER ARREST.
—
The Duncan-Clarke minstrel com
pany are temporarily stranded in
Newport, owing to trouble with their
manager, Kidd Berry, whom it seems |
took at least one too many at Bates- !
ville Sunday and failed to reach here 1
with the other members of the com
pany and also delayed the shipment
of scenery and baggage.
A warrant was sworn out for his ar
rest here Sunday night on the charge J
of embezzlement. He was taken in
hand by Batesville officers and R. M.;
Laird left on the local Monday to
bring him in on the evening passen
ger. It is thought probable that the
case will be dismissed as soon as the
manager is brought here and has
time to sober up. The enagement at
Morrilton has been cancelled.
LOCAL ECHOES OF FIGHT.
The Keel bill now before the legis
lature for the elimination of Newport
from the provisions of the three-mile
district local option law, has revived
argument for and against prohibition
_ _ ___ ' <
here. A petition is being circulated
by R. T. Simmons, urging the passage
of the bill and is Baid to already con
tain the names of a large number of
signers.
■ Rev. J. W. Smith informs the In
dependent that at Sunday evening’s
service, he took a rising vote on those
opposed to the passage of the Keel
bill and only fifteen remained seated*
Capt. J. E. Wilraans, speaking as
an individual and not representing
the prohibitionists, said, that he would
be willing to have the three-mile law
so amended as to exclude Jacksonport
from having a voice in the question as . ■ -
to whethe- or not Newport^slioqld
have licensed saloons. Other p-M&i
tionists expressed themselves as of
this opinion, but oppose strenuously
the present Keel bill.
CROWLEY’S RIDGE COAL FIND.
Forrest City, Ark., March 29.—Mr.
Montgomery, a very responsible and
well-posted man, reports having lo
cated a coal mine of a good quality of
Arkansas coal eight miles east of here
at the base of Crowley’s ridge, in the
Ferguson neighborhood. He recently
purchased the land from Squire N. B.
Nelson, 160 acres at a nominal sum,
after having held an option on it for
some time, and had an expert to visit
and inspect and they pronounce it
good Arkansas coal. They have gone
eight or ten feet and taken out a few
tons and it proves fine. The people
are growing deeply interested in the
new discovery. * .
