SUSPECTS PROVE
BEEBE BURGLARS.
Johnson and Lowe, Who Spent a
Week in Newport and Were
Later Arrested in St.
Louis Robbed Beebe
Postoffice.
Beebe March 12.—By the ar
i est in St. Louis of two men giv
ing their names as Johnson and
Lowe, the mystery of the post
office burglary at this place on
the night of February 28 seems
to be cleared up.
In a valise found in the room
occupied by the suspects in St.
Louis was found $565.95 worth'
of postage stamps, a watch, re
volver and a letter addressed to
the postmaster at this place.
Miss Mary Cole, postmistress
at Beebe, is in receipt of photo
graphs and descriptions of the
parties and they have been iden
tified as parties who were here
on the day before the robbery.
As to Lowe the identification is
complete, while it is scarcely less
so as to Johnson.
| THE LEGISLATURE, t
Strange to relate, Governor
Davis has approved the enact
ment to prohibit the killing of
squirrels for purposes of sale or
barter. The heads of the little
^ animal have been used by “Jeffie
old boy,” to designate the size
of the average editor’s cranium, j
^*and~vrith-l\is known antipathy to'
the pencil-pushers, it is passing,
strange that he should seek to
protect even dumb animals, he I
'would odiously compare to his;

Moore is being deluged with ques

justers will be permitted to enter
the state and adjust losses on in-1

anti-trust law going into effect. ;

a violation of the Logan act.

Some of the friends of Repre

passage of the salary bill by the
senate, raising the pay of the
sheriff from $2,500 to $3,800,that
of the county judge from $900 to j
$1,000 and placing the treasurer J
on the fee plan again. The en- j
actment goes to the governor
now and there is no doubt but;
that the bill will meet his approv

DOCTOR BLACK
FREED BY JURY.
Wagoner, I. T., March 11—The1
case against Dr. B. E. Black for
the murder of Wm. Greer at Mus-;
kogee Jan. 1, 1904, went to trial
Wednesday morning with about i
fifty wil nesses. There was a
rigid prosecution, the case com
ing here on a change of venue,
for it had been alleged that the
defendant could not get justice
in his home city. Several able
lawyers represented the defense.
The case went to the jury this,
evening. After forty^five min
utes a verdict of not guilty was
given. Black left with his broth
ers, Dr. R. M. Black of Pine
k
Bluff, W. B. Black and Marcus
Black of Fort Smith, on the train
for Pine Bluff.
I
, The Black brothers are all den
tists, and the defendant in this
case practiced in Newport for a
number Of years. His acquittal
was doubtless due to the remark
able confession of his wife, who
took upon herself the blame, to
save her husband’s life.

.Mr. W. A. Billingsley proved
himself a gifted toastmaster in
his introductions of the responses
and the evening was richly en
joyed by the assembly of Hoo
Hoo and invited guests. Mr. J.

LETTER TO MR. I. STEPHENS,
NEWPORT, ARK.
... . —,—
Dear Sir: A gallon saved is;
$4 or $5 earned. Devoe saves 2 i
or 3 gallons in 10. How much is,
it worth a gallon?
A gallon saved saves the paint- -
ing, too; and both together cost s
$4 or $5—$4 where labor is cheap; |
$5 where labor is dear.
Our agents in Bridgeport,
Conn., Hubbell & Wade Co.,
tell us: ‘ ‘There are a great many
workingmen’s houses here. They
used to paint lead-and-oil and
take ten gallons. We have been
selling them ten gallons Devoe
lead-and-zinc, and have had, in
every instance, two gallons re
turned.” The proportion is often
higher than that; we have known
it five in ten; but that is excep
tional.
This is the explanation: De
voe is ground by machinery,
and is ground fine; lead-and-oil
is mixed by hand, and isn’t
ground at all.
Yours truly,
F. W. Devoe & Co.,
New York and Chicago.
