TO COMPILE DIRECTORY.
Introduction to Psfblic of Major D. B.
Casteel Who Will Have Charge
id the City Directory to
Be Issued by the
y Independent.
following closely upon the
publication of our special Maga
zine edition, The Independent
has taken up another large work
- the publication of a city direc
tory, a yvork that we feel sure
will excel anything in the line of
a directory ever heretofore pub
lished in the state.
Major D. B. Casteel will have
charge of the work. He comes
to us with the best possible
recommendations and personal
letters from the most reputable:
private citizens of the middle
west. They insure us of his pri- i
vate character and personal at-1
titude. Above all, specimens of,
hiswork, for instance the Candi
dates edition just issued by this
paper, denotes his ability.
Major Casteel has issued di
rectories in a great many impor
tant cities in this section of the
country. He asserts that a
splendid directory can be issued
in Newport. The city council
has promised to render such as
sistance as in their power to
make it a success. Support has l
also been proffered by some of j
our best citizens. The need of
a city directory has been keenly
felt. The growth of the city has i
demanded that a perfect repre
sentation in the form of a direc
tory be made.
Major Casteel begins at once
a thorough canvass of the busi-;
ness interests of the city.
Boys Broke Jail.
Texarkana, March 23—Two
white boys, charged with burgla
k ry, were tried in the district
'court, and discharged as not
guilty. They returned to the j
city last night from New Boston,
where the trial was held, and
immediately went to the scene
of their old charge and raised all
sorts of disturbances, for which
they were promptly landed in
jail.
During the night they made
their escape by sawing through
the bars with saws which, ac
cording to a prisoner in an ad- j
joining cell, they carried con-j
- cealed under the sweat bands of |
their hats.

Negro’s Head Flattened Bullet.
A negro who was shot in the
head in Helena Monday night is
walking about as if nothing had
happened. He was made a tar
get of by Andrew Dunham, an
other negro. The negro who
was shot had just arrived in town :
from one of the levee camps be
low Helena, and in some way;
became involved in a quarrel!
, with the negro Dunham. When
\ the negro was shot he staggered
' as if he had received a mortal
wound. When he was examined;
it was found that the bullet had ;
only plowed its way beneath the |
skin and flattened out against!
his head.

Reporter.
Deafness Cannot Be Cufed
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 j
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 cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure.

‘‘A Royal Slave,” which is a
future booking at the opera
house Friday, March 30, is to be
one of the most important events
of the theatrical season in this
city. The play which deals with
life in Mexico about the time of
the downfall of Maximillian, is
said to be remarkably interest
ing and has proven one of the
greatest successes that the
stage has known in many years.
Complete special scenery is car
ried for the entire play and has
been painted from photographs
taken in Mexico, especially for
this production. Managers Vin
ing and Parish are very fortun
ate in securing an attraction of
this class, and it is to be hoped
that our theatre-goers will show
their appreciation of their efforts
to provide them with the better
class of amusements.
J. R. Mayhan is having his
restaurant enlarged to handle a
growing business. When com
pleted he will have a first-class
short order eating house of large
capacity and neat appearance.
The room is being repapered and
painted and screens will be
added as soon as the other work
is completed.
