^BAPTISTS INDIGNANT.
Repudiate by Resolution Report Thai
Governor Davis Was to Ad
dress Association.
Hot Springs, Ark., Nov. 4.‘—
A. hornet’s nest has been stirred
up in the convention of the Gen
Ieral Association of Baptist
churches of Arkansas, now in ses
moif here, by a published an
nouncement that Gov. Davis was
to address the meeting Sunday.
. The announcement, it appears,
^ was unauthorized by the associa
i tion, but was made to the press
by John L. Smith, chairman of
the Garland county Democratic
committee. When the announce
. ment was read from a newspaper
by one of the delegates in the
convention, great indignation be
came manifest at what was con
sidered an attempt to make a re
ligious meeting subserve political
ends, and Davis’ presumption in
intention, as announced by Mr.
'Smith, of addressing the Baptists
without an invitation.
Moderator W. T. Box said: “If
Gov. Davis is going to address
this body he will do so without an
invitation from us. We not only
did not ask him. but we do not
want him.”
Gov. Davis was three years
ago elected vice-president of the
Baptist state organization.
The assembly adopted con
demning resolutions, character
izing the announcement, which,
it said, might be construed as a
-sidetracking of religion in favor
of politics, as an insult.
River Work Accepted, r
Capt. T. B. Stallings left for
*his home at Newport Friday
evening, says the Batesville
Guard, after going over the work
he has done in clearing the chan
nel of White river for naviga
tion, in company with Capt. C.
C. Ingles, of the government
service, who was detailed to in
spect the work. The work done
by Capt. Stallings was approved
by Capt. Ingles and the stream
was declared to be in first-class
condition for navigation.
This work on the upper White
river was made necessary by the
building of the White River rail
way, which was constructed
along the river bank all the way,
the right of way being blasted
from the river bluffs in many
places: This threw large boul
ders into the stream in many
places, blocking the channel of
the river. The railroad compa
ny was required by the govern
ment to clear the channel, and
Capt. Stallings was employed by
the railroad to do the work. He
removed all the stones that
could be handled with a steam
er, and tjie remainder were dy
namited, the work requiring
^about three months.
* Widow Gels Judgment.
* In the Independence circuit
court, says the Batesville Guard,
a verdict was rendered Friday
afternoon by the jury in the case
of4’Susan A. Standifer against
the Iron Mountain Railway Com
pany for damages in the sum of
$2,600. The suit was for $15,000
for the killing of the husband of
the plaintiff in a collision while
he was in the employ of the com
pany. Notice of appeal has
been given by Horton & South,
attorneys for the road.
Mason and Mason.
Mason and Mason, who are
starring in the big musical com
edy “Fritz and Snitz,” and are
supported by a company of sixty
people, will be seen at the Opera
House on Tuesday, Nov. 7. The
big organization is said to con
sist of a cast of exceptiona
merit, including clever farceurs
and beautiful show girls, whc
all are said to contribute earn
estly their share to a whirlwind
of fun. It is said to be distinct
ly one of the big leading musical
productions of the season, and
; juuging by advance reports this
| company has been playing tc
crowded and enthusiastic houses
in the various cities where they
hava been appearing. The large
chorus is spoken of as consisting
of very beautiful girls, who do
some exceedingly clever musical
numbers, which receive many
' encores at every performance.

Girl Kills Buck.
A .Jackson county girl, only 16
years of age, Emma Scantlin by
name, of Barren township, has
distinguished herself as a crack
marksman, as well as a woman
of steady nerve.
On Friday, October 28, while
hunting parties were out on a
| deer drive a large buck was
■jumped and was being hotly
pursued by the hounds, when
the deer crossed an open place
near the home of R. P. Scantlin.
The eldest daughter of Mrs.
Scantlin heard the dogs coming
and stationed herself with a gun.
With deliberate aim she brought
the leaping buck to the ground,
and soon after received the con
gratulations of the hunting party
upon her marksmanship and
sameness.
I Safe Blowers Busy,
j The safe blower seems to be
! carrying on a thoroughly planned
| campaign, says the Yellville
! Echo. On Monday night of last
' week the safe in the drug store
of Drs. Henley & Rogers at St.
Joe was blown open and $80
taken. Last Saturday night the
! safe in the postoffice was treated
1 the same way and about $200
I secured, and last Tuesday night
! John Keener’s store at Keener,
Boone county, was entered, the
safe blown open and $600 se
cured. Where will they light
next?
Boy Slayet Released.

over the heart while they were
out celebrating Hallowe’en Tues
day night, had an examining
trial before Justice of the Peace
Vinson yesterday afternoon.
After all the testimony had been
submitted the state’s attorney
moved that the charge be dis
! missed, and this was accordingly
| done, there being nothing to
i show any criminal intent on the
: part of the defendant.

Up on Righi-of-Way.
The Southeastern railroad com
pany, which was chartered here
in July to bubo a road from Les
lie, the southern terminus of the
I St. Louis and North Arkansas
! railroad, in a southeasterly direc
tion to the Mississippi river,with
a branch extending to Little
Rock, is having trouble in secur
ing right of-way in the northern
part of the state, with the result
that work in that direction has
been suspended, and the building
of the line as outlined in the char
ter is problematical,
j In the event the original pro
ject is abandoned, it is probable
that the company will endeavor
to build a line almost direct from
Leslie to Little Rock.-Searcy

be pleased to learn that there is
at least one dreaded disease that
science has been able to cure in
all its stages, and that is Catarrh.
Hall’s Catarrh Cure is the only
positive remedy now known to
the med-ical fraternity. Catarrh
being a constitutional disease,re
i quires a constitutional treatment.
| Hall’s Catarrh Cure is taken
I internally, acting directly upon
the blood and mucous surface of
i the system, thereby destroying
the foundation of the disease,and
giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and
assisting nature in doing its
work. The proprietors have so
much faith in its curative pow

“Fritz and Snitz” is the name
of the musical comedy in which
the eminent stars Mason and
Mason will entertain at the
i Opera House Tuesday night, No
| vember 7. The play, which is
; in its second season, is under the
| management of Messrs. Broad
hurst & Currie, has been re
| written up to date and contains
many catchy melodies, and is
i most expensively mounted with
entirely new scenery and bright
ened by the exquisite gowns of
i the ladies of the company. Ma
son and Mason are-supported by
sixty people in this production,
and if advance reports may be
taken as a criterion then it is
one of the best musical comedies
organized in New York this sea
son. The chorus is said to be
exceptionally attractive with
I beautiful girls, who it is said re
ceive many encores for their
clever work. Besides Mason and
Mason there are many other
favorites in the large cast.
Charles Brown, an inmate of
the Odd Fellows’ Home in this
city, fell from the stair railing
I some distance to the floor Thurs
day and was severely shaken up.
