ROBERT COOK.
While it was generally known
that Robert Cook was danger
ously ill, the news of his death
Monday afternoon was a severe
bbw to the many friends of the
i family. He had been confined
! to his room for some time with
| that dread disease, consumption,
but was not thought dangerous
ly ill until a few days ago. He
was the youngest son of John M.'
Cook, and a splendid young man
18 years old, who had a bright
future before him. A father
and two sisters, beside a number
of relatives survive him.

age 55, height 5 feet, 8 inches,

Lawrence Circuit Court.
Walnut Ridge, March 19—The
.March term of the circuit court
| has adjourned until June 26.
Quite a number of cases had to
go over because some of the
members of the bar were absent
in the interest of political mat
ters. Judge F. D. Fulkerson
was taken sick yesterday and
left for his home at Batesville
last night, and H. L. Ponder
was elected special judge to
hear the remaining cases on the
I docket.
As Newport grows into a city,
'better walks and streets tell the
:
story of he r progress. Soon the
' fences will go down, once the
town cow has been relegated,
and the work of improving and
further beautifying the city will
receive substantial impetus.
A business administration
1 could not be belter begun than
in knocking out the town cow.
TO STAND TRIAL TOR LIBEL.

Argenta News Editor Appears to Answer
Criminal Libel Charges-Case Set
Lor April 14th.
I
; Henry J. Miller, editor of the
Argenta News, a daily paper
I published in Argenta, was ar

The indictment is as follows:
“The grand Jury of Pulaski

authority of the state of Arkan
sas, accuses Henry J. Miller of
the crime of libel, committed as
follows, to-wit: .In said county

newspaper article containg false,
malicious and defamatory matter
and things of and concerning one :
Robert L. Rogers, according to
the tenor and effect following, j
that is to say, ‘Bob Rogers offers
bribes and then commits forge
ry, ’ thereby meaning by ‘Bob i

Rogers, and thereby meaning by j
the said words falsely and know-;
ingly to charge that the said
Robert L. Rogers had committed
the crimes of forgery and bribe-j
ry; he, the said Henry J. Miller, |
then and there well knowing the
said malicious and defamatory |
libel to be false. ” j
A Trip to Egypt.
On Friday, March 23 there
will be presented at the Newport
Opera House the latest and most
popular musical comedy success,
‘‘A Trip to Egypt” from the pen j
of the well known author and
composer, C. Herbert Kerr. This |
piece is one of the most elabor-:
ately mounted and equipped that j
will be seen in our city this year, j
the production being carried by j
the company.
The company comedians, sing
ers and dancers includes a fa
mous coterie of well known com
edians. '
The elecrical efforts are new
and of a spectacular nature and
the costuming is the most elab
orate that has ever been seenj
with any attraction in our city.
Notwithstanding the fact that
the show in its entirety is really j
a $1.50 production, the manage-;
ment has by a special effort made
arrangements for regular prices |
to prevail.
‘‘A Trip to Egypt’, is a refined j
musical comedy.
Services at Christian Church.
Monday night’s service* at the j
Christian church were much en- j
joyed. The attendance was
good and is increasing at each
meeting.
The subject, '‘God’s Picture
! Gallery” was a very interesting;
one and ably delivered by the
Rev. R. 0. Rogers.
Subject tonight: ‘‘The Great
est Thing in the World Today.”
All are co: dially invited to at
tend these services. Hours, 3
p. m. and 7:30 p. m.
The council has made a good
move in prohibiting the town
cow the privilege of our streets,
walks and yards and we believe
the vast majority of our people
are in favor of the rigid enforce
ment of the ordinance. Uphold [

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way
to cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deaf
ness is caused by an inflamed
condition of the mucous lining of
the Eastacian Tube. When this
tube is inflamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, and un
less the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an
inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred
Dollars for any case of Deafness
(caused by catarrh) that cannot.
be cored by Hall’s Catarrh Cure.
