Murder Suspects Captured.
Benton, Feb. 5.—The myste
rious youth known as “Shorty,”
wanted in connection with the
murder of L. H. Thompson, a
merchant of Benton Saturday
: night, November 22, has been
captured by officers at Jones
boro, La. The capture was made
yesterday. Marshal E. L. E. Mc
Millan left yesterday for Jones
boro and will return with the
prisoner tomorrow. The reward
of $250 which was offered for
his capture will be paid to the
Jonesboro officers.
Themurderers of Thompson ob
tained only $7.50, but seemed to
have planned the affair as delib
erately as if it were for a large
fortune. C. D. Dewein, a youth
of about 20, is in jail here and
will appear before the grand
jury March 2 to face a charge of
murdering the aged merchant.
It is said that he and the
youth known as “Shorty” or
“Joe” had seen Mr- Thompson
counting his money and planned
to rob him. They went to his
store one night to make a small
purchase. In an alleged confes
sion, Dewein is alleged to have
said that “Joe” struck Thomp
son with a coupling pin and that
when the merchant ran behind
the counter to get his revolver,
‘Joe” dropped the iron and De
wein then struck Thompson
again, killing him. Dewein,
however, denied striking the
merchant and said that Joe was
the one who killed him.
Must Have 1912 Poll Tax.
Only those who paid their poll
tax during the tax-paying time
for 1912 will be allowed to vote
in the State primary March 25,
according to Attorney General
T MnnoA in on nnininn
T l until i < v - - t
handed down to Judge J. B
Thompson of Marion, Ark., to-1
day. This means that a poll tax
paid after January 1 of this year
for 1913 does not entitle the
holder to vote at the primary in ;
March. 1
The attorney general said the
supreme court ruled that the vot
er must have paid his poll tax i
during the tax-paying time that j
had expired next before the
time of the election. The tax
paying time for 1913 does not
expire until April 10, and conse
quently the tax-paying time is
|not over until after the election,
i March 25.

The Winter Fly.
We commend to the readers of
the Gazette Garrett P. Serviss’
article on the winter fly, which
is to be found on the editorial
page of yesterday’s issue. Mr.
Serviss says one fly killed in win
ter is worth, for the common de
fense of humanity against dis
ease, a thousand killed in sum
mer. The one winter fly killed
will mean about a million less
next fall.
So much has been written about
the danger of the fly and so
many people have become accus
tomed to the waning that its
force is lost, but it is a fact, as
Mr. Serviss puts it, that it is im
possible to blacken the reputa
tion of the fly to a greater de
gree than the truth will warrant.
Dr- Beresoff has announced
the result of investigations re
cently made by him in Franre.
Repeated experiments showed
that the deadly microbes con
tained in the digestive tubes of
flies remain alive and preserve
all their evil power during the
winter sleep of the flies. Dr.
Beresoff examined 115 Hies cap
tured in houses where they were
sleeping during the winter
months and found in each of the
insects deadly microbes that
were alive and active and ready
to begin the work of slaying hu
man beings when the warm wea
ther transformed the fly from a
sleeper to a very active agency
of destruction.
The warning of Mr. Serviss is
of especial importance in Little
Rock and in Arkansas, where we
have had a very mild winter and
where many flies will be carried
over to next summer. House
holders should clean their pre
mises now and rid them of flies.

TAFT’S RECIPE
FOR FAT MEN
Tells Little Rock Citizens How
to Get Rid of Surplus
Flesh.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Feb. 6.—A Little
Rock citizen who has an abun
dance of adipose tissue has just
received from former President
Wm. II Taft, at New Haven,
Conn., that distinguished fat
man’s recipe for reduction.
In a reply to a letter seeking
information upon the question,
Wellington Stevenson, of 500
East Sixth Street, this city, lias
just received the following in
teresting letter from .Mi'. Taft:
“I have lost GO pounds since
the 4th of March. My diet has
not been severe. I have not
drank a great deal of water, not
more than a glass or two at my
meals; I have given up bread
and toast and all farinacious
food, all butter and fat, confined
my meat to beef and mutton and
fowl, and eschewed pork and
veal, have omitted fat fish, like
salmon, and have taken no
sweets of any kind. You can eat
all vegetables but potatoes, and
fruit that has not much sugar.
“You ought to take moderate
exercise every day. I have tried
to play a game of golf or walk
four or five miles each day. You
ought not to lose too rapidly, be
cause it is likely to injure the
muscles of your heart if you do;
and above all, you ought to be
examined by the best physician
you can get. Don’t get a quack.
Have your physician examine
you; then have him recommend
a diet which will he like the one
I suggest, 1 fancy, if your const
jtution will stand it. You may
'have some organic trouble that
I would make it unwise to attempt
such a diet- Don’t, do anything
except under the observance of
la physician, consulting him ev
jery ten days or two weeks. If
, he will allow you to pursue this
diet, and you stick to it, I think
jyou will reduce your flesh.”
Then Mr. Taft adds by way of
postscript, "I don’t smoke or
drink intoxicating liquors.”
