! DEFAULTER HOZiER RETURNS.
,
George II. Hozier, former chief
deputy United States marshal, re
turned to Little Rock Monday, and
immediately upon his arrival gave up
to the United States authorities, to
answer to an indictment charging him
with misappropriation of United States
funds. He returned on his own ac
cord.
Hozier left that city suddenly on
the afternoon of October 23, and was
suspended the following day by United
States Marshal A. S. Fowler. Colonel
Fowler and the others interested were
in waiting for him, and the business
in baud was transacted speedily.
There was an indictment against Ho
zier, and he stated that he desired to
surrender. He immediately made a
bond of §3,000 and hurried to his home,
at 1222 Cumberland str et, to rejoin
his wife and children.
A telegram was received Monday
from Colonel Cooper at Chicago, stat
ing that he had mailed a check for the
amount of the shortage, which will be
paid over to the representative of tbe
government by Hon. Morris M. Cohn,
who is attorney for Colonel Cooper.
All will then be over except tbe
criminal charge against Hozier. What
.will be done with that no one can
tell.
CRUSHED BENEATH CARS.
Brinkley, Nov. 24.—A young man,
Will Ward, who lives near Hunter,
Ark., came to Brinkley with a party
of friends to spend the day. The
Onttnn Kelt train nn whinh thnv worn
to return to Hunter >vas several hours
late. They attended a play at the
opera house, and at its conclusion all
the crowd took the train for Hunter
except Ward, who was left. He stat
ed at the hotel that a friend awaited
him outside and they were going
south on the railroad to catch a
freight. About 1 o’clock at night a
negro came upon his mangled body.
He had been cut to pieces, frond his
chest to his feet. A pu©*e was found
in his sock containing $2.50. He was
known to have about $15. There is
speculation as to what led him half a
mile away from town in an opposite
direction from his home, and to catch
a train which did not stop at his home.
His remains were taken in charge by
the Knights and Ladies of Honor, to
which he belonged, and in which he
had held a policy five mouths for
$1,000, in favor of his mother. His
mangled corpse was shipped to his
family, who are prosperous planters
near Hunter.
GRIEVANCES OF YE PRINTER.
A very common variety of absent
mindedness is that which afflict some
persons who occasionally require the
services of the job printer. They for
get to settle their little bills. A coun
ti’y paper which has evidently been
the victim of its fair share of this soi.
of absent-mindedness breaks into
verse on the subject and asks its read
ers:
Breathes there the man with soul so
dead,
Who never to himsplf hath said:
“i’ll pay before 1 go to bed
The debt I owe the printer.”
Now' my own experience is that that
sort of man does breath a lot. In
deed one might reply:
Yes, there are some I know full well,
Who never such a tale could tell;
But they I fear will go to well!
The place where there’s no winter.

“ARE UNIONS A CURSE?”
Dr. Albert Banks of New York Vig
orously Asserts Right of Labor
to Organize as Well as
Capital.
“Have Labor Unions Been a Curse
or a Blessing to Mankind?” was the
i topic chosen by the Rev. Dr. Louis
i Albert Banks, at Grace Methodist
; Episcopal Church in New York Sun
; day night. Dr. Banks ^scored corpo
j rations rather sharply, but heartily
indorsed the principles of trades
unionism.
“If employers were not organized
into great corporations and trusts,”
i said Dr. Banks, “it might be possible
i for workingmen to have a chance for
; just treatment without labor unions,
but the giant combinations which
! control the great factories and furn
j aces and mines and transportation
i companies of today, the mass of
i laboring men would be forced into
absolute serfdom inside of ten years,
if labor were not organized.
“The labor unions were absolutely
logical in their demands for the rec
ognitioii of the union, and they sell
their labor when they desire to do so
through the officers of the union. The
employers unite in trusts and appoint
one or more men to represent them,
I and to say that laboring me22 shall not
1 have the same privileges is an intol
erable assumption of superiority on
the part of employers over their em
ployes. There is nothing in the world
that would allay the suspicion and un
sool n n rl ucmulti iranncu ! n ♦ Ln in/lilO
trial world as for employers every
where to frankly recognize the labor
unions. In so doing they recognize
the equality of the men who work for
them with themselves and you can
never have perfect peace without
that.
“I do not for a moment defend a
great deal that the labor unions have
done, and I imagine no one would
like to defend a great deal that em
ployers have been guilty of. What
I do say is, they are only men, on
either side, and I should be willing to
match the ethics of the union against
the ethics of the trusts. Justice, fair
treatment, free and full recognition of
the rights of the laboring men to
speak through representatives in the
same way that the employers speak,
would be a tremendous step toward
peace.”
EXPLOSION OF GAS.
The fire alarm was turned in Mon
day night shortly after eight o’clock
from the Newport opera house, where
the Chicago Tramp company was to
fill an engagement that evening.
The lights were poor owing to water
in the gas pipes and Culver Knoles
! had gone beneath the stage to let the
| water out of the pipes. The had
thus become charged with ga when
I ‘‘Shorty” Sheiss, stage manager, en
j tered with a lighted candle, lm
i mediately the whole interior flashed
! up and Knoles was singed about the
| face and his coat burned. He quickly
1 made his egress and by shutting the
i door, the fire was smothered out.
A few bricks were torn out on the
Second street side and the hose used
to put out some smoldering flames.
Had the fire ever reached the stage,
no effort could have saved the house.
No panic resulted from the alarm and
! very few in the audience knew at the
time just where the fire was.
WORD CONTEST INSTITUTED.
j The neat and complete baby range,
which has been on display in the
window of the Newport Builders
Supply & Hardware Company, will be
given away by that firm on Christmas
j day-to the girl under fifteen years of
age, who furnishes the longest list of
words given by Webster’s dictionary
from the letters to be found in the
words “Quick Meal Range.”
The range will cook, bake and roast
and is perfect in all its arrangements
! and well worth an effort upon the
j part of the girls under the prescribed
I age. Contest closes Dec. 24. 185 b7t
