Falls Dead in Newport
Postoffice.
Campbell Robinson, probably
not far from 70 years of age, a
white haired mail carrier on the
, V Newport-R e m m e 1-Pennington
Hale-Grubbs route, dropped dead
about 1 o’clock Friday, while ty
ing a parcel of mail in the New
port postodice.
He was standing to the rear of
the tables, when he suddenly fell.
Dr. Jones happened to be in the
office at the time and hurried to
him. The heart beat a few more
strokes and life ceased. Death
was attributed to heart failure.
Coroner Harrison was here,
but an inquest was not deemed
necessary. The deceased
had given no indication
that he was feeling badly prior
to his fall.
He leaves a wife and three
children, Arthur, Herbert and
Gertrude, whose home is at
Grubbs, where the remains will
be taken for burial.
He had been a faithful ana

Louis Grocer Co. ’s wholesale bus
iness at Hoxie. The company

an excellent trade. The new
owners will increa e the stock
and make a bid for a larger bus
iness, extending their operations
over a larger territory. Mr. T.

“THE MERCHANT OF
VENICE” COMING.
Shouldering gracefully the
mantle of “Shylock,” Mr. Jos
eph De Grasse will be seen at the
opera house in this city next
Wednesday, Jan. 25th, in “The
Merchant of Venice,” under the
direction of Mr. Fred A. Hay
ward. The production is a mas
sive one in every respect and the
artistic triumphs scored else
where by this clever and inter
esting star may be duplicated
here without fear of disapproba
tion. The production is one of
the most complete ever sent on
tour and it should be the most
noteworthy event in the local
theatical season.
A TRIO OF
BOLD BURGLARIES.
Two Saloons and Wallace’s Jew
elry Store Broken Into By
Unknown Burglars Thurs
day Night.
Three burglaries in one night
is the latest record in local crimi
nal annals, the saloons of W. R.
O’Neal and J. E. Doherty & Com
pany and the jewelry store of R.
C. Wallace having been bur
glarized early Friday morning,
between midnight and 4 o’clock.
Entrance was effected at each
place by breaking in at the rear
and there are no clues by which
the crooks can be run down un
less later through the disposal of
the stolen goods.
Wallace is the heaviest loser,
about $35 worth of small jewelry
being taken, though Bevens’
stock was not touched.
At Doherty’s a pistol and a
few bottles of whisky were taken
and a handsome cash register al
most ruined, for it had been left
locked, though containing no
cash.
W. R. O’Neal lost about $6.50
in cash, a Colt’s revolver and
two quarts of whisky.
J IN SOCIETY. 5
MILITARY EUCHRE PARTY.
The fascinations of military
euchre were thoroughly enjoyed
Thursday afternoon by a long
list of the matron and young lady
friends of Mesdames W. W. Dut
ton and Gus Graham at the home
1 of the former.
The delights of the game were
enhanced by the efforts of the
! receivers, whose gracious hospi
tality made each guest feel per
! fectly at home and free to enjoy
whole-hearted the pleasures of
the afternoon.
Military euchre is conceded by
i all to have its charms and arouse
enthusiasm where interest in
other games might lag, and the
playing upon this afternoon was
spirited throughout. As remem
brances of its pleasures the hold
ers of one fort carried away
handsome trophies of conquest,
Mrs. T. E. Morrison being
awarded a china cup and saucer;
Mrs. W. A. O’Neal, china plate;
Mrs. J. H. McHugh, silver pickle j
fork; Mrs. H. 0. Walker, bon
bon spoon.
This is one of those homes
i where the guests anticipate j
dainty refreshments, by reason
I of an enviable reputation, and
they could not have been a whit
| disappointed in the elegant lunch
eon of turkey, hot rolls, oysters,
| coffee and frozen cranberry
punch.
The hostesses were assisted in
keeping account of the progress
of the game by Misses Franchelle
and Elise Hooker.

FORGERS WORKING
IN ARKANSAS.
Raising Money Orders for Small
Amounts to Considerable
Figures—Department is
Investigating.
The postoffice department is
engaged at present in trying to
secure the arrest of two men
whose work has been reported
from various sections f the coun
try, but whose latest field of
operations is Arkansas. They
are engaged in raising postal
money orders from small sums to
considerable figures and then
passing them upon merchants
and hotel keepers.
On January 4, 1905, two orders
were purchased for 50 cents each
at Little Rock, drawn on Benton,
Ark., by J. G. Jackson payable
to Greg W. Jackson. A few
days later one of thes^e orders,
changed to $26.90, the erasure
having been made by acid, was
cashed by W. A. Thompson, a
hotel man at Benton.
' The best description of the
forger is that he was 5 feet 10
inches tall, weighing about 160
pounds and apparently 25 years
of age. His face was rather
dish-shaped, but full and smooth
shaven and he wore a dark coat
and vest, lignt trousers witn
black felt hat of broad brim. He
is thought to have a light- com
plected accomplice of about the
same age and build and both are
fairly well dressed and pass for
brakemen.

HE DID NOT EXPECT
/
y Such a Pleasant Surprise
*
Mr. A. S. Eaton of Hillsboro, O.,
Bays: “I have used Paraeamph for
Rheumatism in the joints of my bands
with good results—getting more relief
than from any other remedy. My
case is of many years standing and I
was not expecting a cure from one
bottle hut it has done more for me
than anything I have ever used.”
i Paraeamph is a combination of cam
phor and cooling, soothing, healing
| oils. When applied, it opens the pores,
removes the congestion and draws out
all soreness, fever and inflammation.
I Try it for Neuralgia, Rheumatic
: Swellings, Sore Feet, Colds in the
Head, Catarrh, Sore Throat or Chest.
; If It fails to give satisfaction your
| money will be refunded. Paraeamph
! is clean, safe and sure. Every bottle
Bauranteed. Trial size 25c.; family
'• sizes 60c and $1.00. If you have never
1 tried Paraeamph we will send you a trial
; size free. - Write to-day. The Paraeamph
Co., Louisville, Ky.y
city, were indicted on the charge
of killing and robbing a Greek
railroad laborer east of the city
| last summer. The evidence
against them was almost wholly
circumstantial. Judge B. B.
j Hudgins, chairman of the Ar
| kansas railroad commission, was
| of counsel for the defense.
