MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE.
Frank Stolliker, a young man, for
merly of Detroit, Michigan, but for
the past five months in the employ of
C. J. Saenger, mysteriously dis
appeared Friday night and his where
abouts are yet unknown. He left
behind a letter to his friend David
Hare, bequeathing him his earthly
possessions, consisting of clothes and a
policy for $1,000 in the New York
Life Insurance Company.
In this communication, the de
parted man said that he was tired of
life and trying to do right, intimating
that he had decided to take his own
life. He did not commit himself in
this letter however to suicide and the
general opinion of those who knewT
him is that he has betaken himself to
parts unknown. His liabilities are
in the neighborhood of $80,his creditors
numerous, w’hile his clothes and other
assets will not cover the indebtedness.
Mr. Saenger has his insurance policy
for $1,000 however, but without fur
ther proof that Stolliker has com
mitted suicide or by other means lost
& x his life, the company would undoubt
edly refuse payment.
Stolliker was about 24 years of age,
crippled and compelled to us^ a cane.
In stature, he measured 5 feet 2 inches,
of med urn build with regular features,
blue eyes and dark hair. He came to
Newport on the 20th of last April and
the last seen of him was when he left
the tailor shop about 8 o’clock Friday
night.
'ASLEEP ON THE TRACK.
J. J. Kamer, a Missouri division
brakeman, was run over and instantly
killed by switch engine No. 340, be
tween 12:15 and 12:30 o’clock Monday
night in the Iron Mountain yards
while sitting on the main line track.
From information gathered it appears
that Kamer, had only a few min
utes before been called from his sleep
to go out on his run north, and it is
supposed that while in semi-awake
condition he sat down on the rail to
rest while awaiting his train and in
this condition fell asleep, when the
switch engine backed down and in
stantly crushed the life out of him.
Mr. Kamer was known as a reliable
employe and much liked among his
associates and was a member of the,
| Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen
lodge No. 205, De Soto.
The remains of the unfortunate man
were shipped to his former home in
De Soto at 4 o’clock this afternoon.—
Poplar Bluff Citizen.

MISTAKE MADE IN RETURNS.
Amendment No. 7 was not defeated.
This important discovery was made
today by Deputy Secretary of State
O. C. Ludwid and John R. Jobe, state
printing clerk, who with other mem
bers of the auditor’s and secretary of
state’s clerical forces, have been can
vassing the returns of the election of
September 1.
It has been believed that the amend
ment was defeated.
The vote was as follows:
For amendment 45,598.
Against amendment 43,982.
Majority for. 1,616.
It is not necessary that the amend
ment should receive a two-thirds ma
jority. It was decided by the speak
er of the house of representatives
several years ago, when the question
arose on another amendment, that a
majority of those voting on the sub
! ject was sufficient to adopt, and that
| rule has since prevailed.
! This will authorize the legislature
to place their members upon a salary
instead of per diem.
GENTRY SHOWS IN TOWN.
Gentry Bros. United Dog and Pony
Shows arrived early Wednesday
morning on a special train of eight
cars from Batesville and by the time
the town was fairly astir, were break
fasting beneath their tents in Chas
tain’s Addition. Prior to this season,
Gentry Bros, shows have been travel
I ing as distinct exhibitions, but two of
the same are united in the show that
I today visits Newport. These two
united aggregations have been making
the towns and cities of the East and
represent the best specimens of
trained animals owned by the now
world famous Gentry Brothers.
The parade pleased those who saw
it, though the size of the crowd upon
the streets from the country, must be
discouraging to the showmen. The
show has evidently been truthfully
advertised and the statement that 200
performing horses, ponies and dogs,
50 monkey comedians, 2 herds of ele
phant actors, a congress of juvenile
Mexican Rough Riders, the Yamada
family of Japanese, all contribute to
this wonderful show, is no exagger
ation.
NOT KELLY THE BOODLER.
Is Chas. F. Kelly, wanted in St.
Louis, alleged to be the distributor of
the 847,500 bribe for the passage of
the city lighting bill, and for whom
there is a reward of 8700 offered in
Little Rock?
Nobe Connelly, who was a candi
date for the Arkansas legislature at
the last primary, said that Kelly was
in Little Rock Tuesday, but he be
lieves that Kelly has received a tip
and left the city. The result of Con
nelly’s statement was that both he
and a young man named Parker, were
detainecffey the Little Rock police for
an hour Tuesday until the young
man was identified.—Little Rock Ga

WOLVES RAVAGE CLAY COUNTY.
Piggott, Ark., Sept. 16.—Arrange
ments have been made for a big wolf
drive next Monday in which all the
people will participate. The animals
have exterminated all the hogs in the
surrounding country, have decim
ated poultry and have even invaded
the suburbs of town.

STORY OF ROAD’S SALE.
■|
•
An official confirmation has been
received of the transfer of the Searcy
& Des Arc railroad to the Rock Is
land. The actual sale was made at
the time the Choctaw passed into the
hands of the Rock Island. The day
before the sale of the Choctaw that
road had purchased the Searcy &
Des Arc, and consequently the Rock
Island bought a line of railway which
had not entered into the negotiations.
A circular has been issued naming J.
F. Holden as traffic manager and W.
W. Wentz, Jr., general manager,
both being the local Rock Island of
ficials in charge of the Choctaw lines.
The road runs from Searcy to Des
Arc, a distance of twenty-eight miles.
DECLARED LEGALLY DEAD.
Little Rock, Ark. 16.—County Clerk
Robt. G. Pilloey is paying claims
against the estate of Geo. M. Street,
who disappeared August 8, 1900, from
the Southern Hotel in St. Louis. He
is said to have been seen since in
San Francisco, but has been declared
legally dead here. The fund on hand
amounts to $2,600, and creditors will
receive 21 per cent of their claims.
i “To know man, one must be a man.
Dear friends, this is why, as a nation,
as a patriotic, sympathetic and grate
ful people, we hold in loving remem
brance the transcendent qualities that
made William McKinley a man es
teemed great in the judgment of his
fellow-men. Whatever reputation he
established as a statesman, and that
was great, whatever he was as a
politician, what made him a man, was
that, he had a heart set on fire with a
sincere love for his fellow-man. Un
der the extreme pressure of excite
ment when Mr. McKinley became the
victim of an assassin’s bullet, his
praises were sung, tuned to a high
key, from one end of the world to the
other. That was one year ago.”—Ex
tract from memorial sermon by Rev.
Percy J. Robottom, Dean of Trinity
Cathedral Little Rock.

SLOT MACHINES ENJOINED.
Hot Springs, Sept 16.—A temporary
injunction was granted this morning
by Chancellor Leatherman against
the operation of slot machines in this
city. The injunction was granted up
on applications filed by W. A. Wood
cock and J. W. McDonald, business
men. Some fine questions of law are
involved in this proceeding,
as to the jurisdiction of the chancery
court in a matter of this kind and as
to whether the proper remedy is
by injunction.
The slot machine agitdtion is liable
to cause a general fight on gambling
in this city.
Speaking of Mr. R. A. Coffman, the
Republican nominee tor congress in
this district, Captain F. W. Tucker
said to a reporter for the Little Rock
Gazette: “He is one of the most
prominent citizens of his section.
His home is in Russell, where he has
a large mercantile business. He was
the postmaster at Russell under Pres
ident Harrison, and might have had
the office again under McKinley, but
he believes in rotation of office and
would not advance his claims. It is
probable that arrangements will be
made by the Republican committee of
the district to have him make a can
vass. It is not probable that it will
be a joint one with Mr. Brundidge.”
