DREW A FULL HOUSE.
“Railroad Jack” drew a good house,
yes a better one than it deserved. The
1 sardine packers might have taken a
few lessons from the way the “peanut
heaven” was stacked and jammed,
about 400 tickets having been sold for
that portion of the house and the
lower floor would run the number!
present close to 800.
You may talk about the fondness of
a' countryman for a menagerie, but
this don’t compare with what the
roaring lion did to Newport. The old
monster was a rough and ferocious
old beast but we don’t believe even he
would have been so uncouth as to
rely on a barrel to hide his naked
ness.
L'ght comedy is wholesome and
nothing does one much more good
than a hearty laugh for we are all
more or less inclined to be dyspeptic
at times and the wit or humor which
will drive away melancholia and yet
has no degrading effects is a pleasure
not to be shunned.
But vulgarity can never aspire to be
either wit or humor and the frown of
public sentiment should be against
vulgar references in decent play
houses. Some of the clownish man
euvers and jesting were silly and
idiotic while others were boldly in
decent.
Railroad Jack and the circus man
ger Romeo Walker were all right and
the plot is filled with thrilling scenes,
narrow escapes and dramatic cli
maxes. It could have been worse,
but it would have been much better
with the smut rubbed off.

PROHIS PETITION COUNCIL
For Enforcement Of Law Against
Blind Tigers—Guilty Parties Will Be
Brought To Justice Upon Informa
tion Filed By Individuals—Hess
Appointed To Watson Vacancy As
Sewer District Commissioner.
—
Though the opponents of licensed
saloons have given no indications of
making a fight against a return to the
license system, they propose to make
it warm for the blind tigers the re
mainder of the present year. A pe
tition nas been circulated by Dr. A. J.
Brewer and was presented to the
council, signed by 54 citizens, praying
the mayor, marshal and council to
“enforce the laws against the blind
tigers in our city, as is done in other
parts of the state.” The petition
further says “In doing so you will
vindicate the' law and honor your
selves. In making this request, we
do so with no ill will or malice toward
any one, but we do believe that we
have a right to expect the legal, if
not the moral support of the entire
city council.”
Upon motion of Wishon, seconded
by Bailey, the communication or J. W.
Smith and others was ordered received
and filed and the petitioners advised
that upon filing information on oath,
charging any person with the offense
of illegally selling liquor in the city of
Newport, the Mayor will issue his
warrant for the guilty parties and
bring them to justice.
The city recorder gave notice to the
council of the refusal of T. J. Watson
to accept appointment as one of the
sewerage commissioners and by vote
of the council, the declination of Mr.
Watson was accepted.
Upon motion of Walker, seconded
by Wilmans, F. S. Hess was elected to
this vacancy on the sewerage board
of commissioners, all members voting
yes with the exception of Wishon.
The appointment is considered a good
one and it can be positively stated
that Mr. Hess will accept this position
of trust.
The acceptance of Goldman &
Henry, together with oath as members
of board, was received and referred
to auditing committee. A communi
cation was filed showing the ratifica
tion of the McDonald heirs to signing
of the improvement district petition.
Alderman Wishon made a final ef
fort to reconsider this question by
moving to amend the minutes of Sep
tember 15th, heretofore approved, in
a manner that would have shown no
action had been taken toward the
organization of an improvement dis
trict for sewerage purposes, but the
amendment was lost through failure
to receive a second.
The request for the opening of an
alley in block 3, Goldman’s Addition,
was referred to the city attorney.
The reports of the mayor, marshal
and recorder were received and re
ferred to the auditing committee. The
minutes of the preceeding meeting
were approved and the usual bills al
iowea.
ACCORD ONE FARE RATES.
Mrs. C. H. Wilmans, chairman of
the committee on transportation, has
received notice from the Iron Moun
tain passenger department, stating
that a rate of one fare would be ac
corded delegates and visitors to New
port from all points in the state, on
account of the U. D. C. convention to
be held here Oct. 22 to 24, inclusive.
The other roads have promised to
do as well as the Iron Mountain and
though they have not been heard from
definitely, it is not expected that any
trouble will be met in securing the
same favorable consideration.
From fifty to seventy-five delegates
and visitors are expected at this state
gathering, which opens here a week
from Wednesday.
The office, lobby and dining room
of the Baltimore Hotel are being
greatly improved, the walls having
Deen boarded up and new wall paper
hung.
Miss Bessie Vann of Vandale, Ar
kansas arrived Sunday on a visit to
Mrs. Fannie Robinson. She is quite
popular in Newport and her friends
propose to make her visit a pleasant
one.
PINE BLUFF SCANDAL.
Robert Lee Files Suit For Intimidation
And Beating To Which lie Was
Subjected By Prominent j
Society Men.
Pine Bluff, Ark., Oct. 13.—Robert
Lee, a well known young man of Pine
Bluff, has applied for warrants for the
arrest of R. L. Tully and A. J. Murray,
charging intimidation.
Murray is a prominent lumberman
and Tully is his most intimate friend.
Tully, it is claimed by Lee, resented
his attentions to Mrs. Tully, and, on
one occasion, Tully and Murray en
ticed him to the suburbs of the city
and beat him.
Soon afterward, Lee says, he left
Pine Bluff to reside in Little Rock, but
there, he claims, he was followed by
the jealous Tully and again persecuted.
Tully and two friends, Lee declares,
forced him to pawn his diamonds and
buy a ticket to St. Louis. They saw
him board the train and told him that
if he left the train before it arrived at
St. Louis or if he ever returned to the
State of Arkansas he would be killed.
Deeply resenting the treatment he
had received and determined to have
iron cm a if ho htirl fo riolr hia lifA fnr
it, Lee says he got off the train at
Piedmont, Mo., and returned home,
immediately applying for warrants
against Tully and Murray.
The case is set for trial Wednesday.
Both Tully and Murray are under
bonds for their appearance then and
Tully is under a peace bond in ad
dition.
The scandal has created much talk
here where all concerned are well
known and have moved in the best
society.
