The Reason Why.

The tonic effect of Kidney Wort is pro
 duced by it's cleansing and purifying action on the blood. Where there is gravelly de- posit in the urine, or milky, ropy urine from disordered kidneys, it cures without fail. Constipation and piles readily yield to it's cathartic and healing power. au11 3teod 1tw

AMlsSNG DRUMMER.
A Marriage Postponed and Sew.
craI Hearts that Ache.

The Little Rock Democrat Of yes
terday contains the following, which
is the first public news of tho disap-
pearance of the genial Bob Cochran:
r.. s. Cochran is the name Of a ZEN
tleman who appeared in Little Rock q
year or two since, in the role ola com
mercial drummer. From tho date of
his first visit he began making friends.
Unlike many of the boys Of the road,
he was not fresh" Neither did he
swing a heavy watch-guard and sport
a loud" suit Of clothes and a big seal
ring. He was business" all the time,
and was we'll liked by those who
had commercial transactions with
him.
During the past winterhe succeeded
in getting into fashionable society,
and the boys called him Bob" He
dressed we'll, and when he talked his
conversation was interesting. He was,
to tell the whole truth, quite popular
with the ladies. He paid particu-
lar attention to one we'll known
and estimable young lady, and in
due course of time asked for her hand.
al
She consented, and arrangements
were made for the wedding. Then all
went we'll until about a week ago.
when he departed for Memphis, as he
said, to make arrangements with the
house and tx things generally for the
event. Since the day of his depart
ure not one word has been heard from
him. telegram to the house he repre-.
sented brought an answer that he was
no longer connected Herewith. and
had severed his connection without
notice,
Now, the question presents itself {:
What has become of Cochran ? Who
can answer? This is the day set for
the wedding. He is a victim Of foul
play, or else one Of the vilest scOun-
drels that ever deceived an innocent
girl. We trust in the former. Better
dead than the sooundrel.
Cochran is about the average size,
sandy moustache, curly hair, blue eyes
and plausible manners.

otherwise, have defaulted for at least

heard from him, however, for the pS,t
ten days, and the indications are That
he has treated his fanoee in u rather

GOOD MOVE.
Sensible and Practical Sugges.
tons from the Attorney
General.

EDITOR LEDaER-A number of
gentlemen, good and worthy citizens,
have signed a "call" fora public meet
ing at Segler's grocery, in the neigh
borhood Of provinces switch and
Walker avenue, the object Of said
meeting being, as announced, to con
slider and prepare to act upon the best
means of putting an end to the depre-
dations of thieves and burglars who
have for several weeks robbed and
plundered in that locality almost
nightly"
This is a good move in the right
direction, and should be encouraged
by every law and order.loving
member Of society. The most expe-
ditious and available means Of put
ting an end to the depredations Of
thieves and burglars" is for the citi-
zens to vigorously cooperate with the
othcers of the criminal court in pros
ecuting the villains. Let no press of
private business deter good men from
coming forward as witnesses. Let
there be an end to the policy that has to
an alarming extent too long prevailed,
OF persons who are deprecated upon
compromising with the depre-
dators, by agreeing not to APP
pear before the grand Jury
to prosecute, provided the property
stolen is returned or paid for. There
can be no legitimate compromise with
thieves-of whatever condition or
position in society of whatever ma.
t~ionality, race or creed-they should.
one and all, be made TO understand
that the law will be rigidly enforced
against them. Let the meeting at
Segler's grocery tonight resolve, and
then theoretically carry out the
resolution, that there shall be
no "let up" in tho effort to ar.
rest thieves, and no swerving ON
the part of citizen when called
upon to appear before the criminal
court as prosecuting witnesses. Hew
to this line-march to this idea-and
it may be safely promised that crimi-
nails will become less bold, ifnot less
numerous, in this community. Let
US hope that tho meeting above re-
ferred to will take a proper view of
the subject, and inaugurate a move
ment for the suppression of crime that
will be effective and expeditions. The
officers Of the criminal court will
heartily cooperate in the movement.
and do all that by law they can or
may do to make the movement a sue
cess. ] am very truly,

HANGMAH's DAY.
Two Men Suffer at Marion, Ark.
The Murder of Old John Broadway
Avenged on the Gallowa
The Governor OF Arkansas Re-
fused to Interfere.

A young man named L. L. Ford,
and another named John Potter,
were to be hung at Marion, Critten-
den county, Ark, about noon to-day,
their crime being the murder of John
Broadway, a planter neal Bradley's
Landing, Ark, some fifteen miles
above here, in October last. Potter
has a wife and daughter, but Ford is
without a family. The murder was
committed for the purpose of getting
money, it being known to the crimi-
mails that Broadway had been to the
city, and received some $500 or more
for cotton. The murderers in con-
junction with others, lived
on a fatboat moored near
Bradley's and they conspired to
kill, rob the homeless, and defense
less old man, but they failed to secure
more than $3.50 by their crime. A
young sol of Broadway was carried
off and tied to a tree, while the muir
der was committed, and then leftin that
position all night. The two men we're
convicted after a trial in the circuit
court of Crittenden county on the 10Th
Of December last. They are an un-
lettered, ignorant couple. After kill
ing their victim they fed to this side
of the river, but were pursued and
captured by a posse from Crittenden.
Two others were implicated in the
murder, one named Hiram Jefreys,
an educated east ~Tennesseean, and an
ignorant person named Cal Hughey,
both men Of family. The two
last have never been captur-
ed it is said. The partners
in guilt were all a rowing lot of labo-
rers and neither resided in Crittenden
county. Old man Broadway was a
quiet, Industrious, and very popular
citizen, and his taking off created great
excitement just at the time of the
tragedy. The evidence at the trial of
the murderers is said to have been
conclusive and their fate is believed
by all familiar with the circumstances
to have been just.
Since the foregoing was put in print
it has been ascertained that Potter
escapes hanging by having turned
evidence some time ago, and
he is now at large. Ford was to have
been hung to-day, but the sheriff was
in doubt upon the subject, as advices
were expected from the supreme
court, to which his case has been ap-
pealed, and the chances are that his
hanging has been postponed. The
other two men are under arrest, but a
change Of venue was secured to Mis-
sissippi county. A negro, name un-
known, was certainly to be hung to-
day, his crime being the murder of
another darky neal Cat island, below
here.
