THE accompanying picture was
taken from life and is a true
representation of our exclusively
fashioned Two and Three Button
Double Breasted Sack. This garment
has that extremely custom tailored
air. Only the purchaser can know
that this could possioly be a ready
made suit. The shoulders are broad
and jauntily shaped, full roll lapel has
liberal button space giving an appear
ance of wide expanse to the chest.
Either the Two or Three Button Style
is proper.

SUSTAINS JUDGE FULKERSON.
Supreme Court Renders Decision in
Johnson Case, Refusing Defendant
Bail.
An interesting matter was decided
by Mr. Justice Riddick in the supreme
court Saturday. One Rufus Johnson
was indicted by the Jackson county
grand jury for murder in the second
degree. Before trial in the circuit
court the circuit judge, upon ex parte
testimony, it is said, concluded that
the grand jury had not done its duty
and that an indictment for murder in
the first degree should have been re
turned. He, therefore, referred the
matter to the next grand jury, thus, in
effect, setting aside the indictment of
the first grand jury. In the mean
time he committed Johnson to jail,
and Johnson made application for
bail, which was refused. In this way
the matter was taken to the supreme
court, on Johnson’s application for
bail.
Justice Riddick upheld the decision
of the lower court, and refused bail,
holding that while the circuit judge
had express authority, after trial had
commenced, to stop the trial and re
mand the matter for the investigation
to another grand jury, when, in his
opinion, the indictment should have
been for a greater offense, it was also
obviaus that the legislature intended
him to have the same power before
trial.
LUMBER PLANT BURNED.
Jonesboro, Nov. 9.—At an early
hpur Saturday morning the large box
factory belonging to the Chapman -
Dewey Lumber Company at this place
was destroyed by fire.. The prompt
ness of the fire department in arriving
upon the scene and the heroic work
done by the boys stopped the flames
from spreading beyond the large mill
in wbich the fire originated. The big
heading factory of H. Alfrey, the
tannery of Dixon & Broadway and
the hickory mill of B. G. Lynch &
Co., all located in close proximity to
the fire, were in imminent danger of
destruction, but by hard work they
were saved. The estimated loss to
the Chapman-Dewey Co., is $150,000,
partially insured. Tne origin of the
fire is unknown. It will be remem
bered that this is the factory where
the employes struck the first of last
week. Yet, happily, the strike had
been amicably settled Friday
afternoon, and the employes were to
return to work Monday next. There
is considerable speculation among our
citizens as to whether this factory will
be rebuilt here or moved to Spring
field, Mo., or Deckerville and consoli
dated with the Pond-Becker Lumber
Co. Its removal from here would re
sult disastrously to our city, as their
payroll amounts to about $10,000 per
month.

NEW REVENUE MEASURE.
Little Rock, Nov. 9.—Representative
Q. F. Cbapline of Monroe county has
prepared and will introduce at the
coming general assembly one of the
most far-reaching revenue bills that
has ever been offered to the law
makers of the state. Hit) bill calls for
a privilege tax on all corporations,
and, where warranted by the consti
tution, a privilege tax for both state
and county on many occupations that
doubtless should be taxed in this
manner. On the professions and
occupations generally his bill calls for
a county privilege tax, there being a
constitutional inhibition against the
taxing of occupations for state pur
. poses. The bill iB entirely too volu
• minous for publication of the full
• text. It is a revenue-raiser, and will
doubtless prove a very popular
measure. t
