MARRIED OR NOT MARRIED

The News Of this morning says
"A decision was rendered by Judge
Sheppard at Boston on Saturday last
that will prove not only of great in
terest to the public in general, but il
sustained by the court of appeals, will
be of very serious personal concern to
a great many married people in Bowie
county. 1t was, for period af about
ten years, custom Of the county
clerk at the county seat, Tor the con
yenience of people matrimonially in
clined, to send out marringe licenses,
signed in blank to number ofpoints
in the county, to the justices Of the
peace who practically acted as depu-
ties of the clerk in the matter, and
filled out and supplied these licenses,
with whatever names were desired, to
parties applying for same, In this
manner perhaps one half or more of
the marriages that have taken place in
the past decade were solemnized.
About six months ago, however, a Sc
rious question of the legality of such
proceeding was raised and the prac-
tice was in consequence discontinued.
We are authorized that more than
1000 couples were united by authori-
ty of such license"
1t is hardly probable that this de-
cislon will be sustained in the higher
courts, since the large number of peo-
pie affected thereby are in no wise at
fault, and such decision if sustained,
will cause endless litigation and
trouble, involving as it does the legit-
imacy of all children born under such
marriages, rights to property, etc.
Reason and common sense is strongly
at variance with this strange decision
of Judge Sheppard. Until the matter
is finally settled in the higher courts
many will suffer mental torture.

THE CORRECT VIEW.
How Clever Writer Sums Up the
Pollard-Breckinridge Affair.

The cleverest if not at the same
time the least decorous, among the
female contributors to the American
newspaper of today, is the woman
who writes for number of leading
dailies from New York under the
non de plume of TBab" This writer
seems to have made a study of the
seamy side Of woman's life and has
manifested seemingly genuine inter-
est IN the reclamation and elevation
from her fallen state Of @what she so
aptly terms "the other woman" In
recent article on this subject she incl
dentally or otherwise uses the case,
which is now a "cause celebres in
deed, of Madeline V. Pollard VS.. Con.
gresham w. G. p. Breckenridge as an
illustration Of many more equally un-
fortunate incidents of similar kind,
and in her article arraigns the alleged
betrayer of Miss Pollard at the bar of
public opinion in the following scath-
ing terms:
"For weeks past the newspapers
have been full of the story of a young
woman who says she was for nine
long years absolutely faithful to
man who betrayed her when she was
II years old, by whom she bore two
living children, and for whom she
lied, even to her mother. Now he
has married somebody else. | know
nothing of the truth of her story; |
only say that if it is true, then | hope
every man in Kentucky will help to
lynch him. | am not given, as a gem
eral thing, to sickly sentimentality,
but the betrayal of girl of II by
man of AZ, a brilliant man, man
whom she had always respected and
honored because of his position in her
state, seems to be something very
dreadful And the giving Of nine
years of the best part of her life
to him should at least have had its
reward by her bearing his name and
by the recognition Of their children.
Remember, do not think this would
have wiped away the sin; both would
have suffered for that egen in this
world; but cannot understand how a
man can so utterly disregard the
rights of his children, and so willfully
force this girl into acknowledging that
she was the other woman Again |
say, don't know that the story is true,
bnt do say If it is this man ought to
be made to suffer here, as he certainly
will hereafter"

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
atiye; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being well informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.

WHAT TExARKANA NEEDS.

More churches, more schools, more
factories, more railroads, more live, in
dustrious, pushing and progressive
business men, more neryy and daring
spectators, more liberal and broader
guage financiers, aboveall and beyond
all, more enterprise energy and pub
lie spirited generosity among those
who are already here. Indeed, what
TexMkana needs is identiCally the
same as that which is needed by every
struggling young city at the critical
period of its existence to transform it
into a commercial and industrial
metropolis. What it does not need is
any addition to number of its ancient
order of indestructible fossils, whose
eternal pessimism alone is sufficient to
chill the marrow in the bones of pro-
gress and check the healthful flow of
blood TO the the heart of prosperity.
These men, whose every breath is a
sigh of despair and whose every ut
terance is prophecy of impending
evil. Such men are to a struggling
community what the parasite is to the
body upon which it feeds, slow, but
certain, destruction. Let us shake off
the barnacles and cut loose the tenta-
cles of this "devils fish" of soth and
dependency which seeks to fasten its
countless arms about the ship Of pro-
gress and destroy the vessel when al
most in sight of the long looked for
harbor Of success. Let every man
who has his own interest and the
good OF his city at heart rise to the
occasion and meet the necessity for
prompt and intelligent action with
brave heart and willing hands. Let
there be unity of purpose and concert
of action. Cease boarding money for
fear of q crisis, which may never come,
and, by investing his dollars in legiti-
mate enterprise, aid in averting a cal
amity, which is only made possible by
his faint-hearted weakness and pita-
BILE surrender, upon demand Of an en-
emy, whose guns are not yet in sight.
Let.us try the other plan, it can be no
worse, march boldly to meet the foe
on his own field and, by striking the
first blow, gain half the battle at the
start. This done and victory is sure
ly won.

DESPERATE CRIMINALS.
Federal Prisoners at Fort Smith, At
tempt to Break jail.

News has just reached here of a
desperate attempt on the part of the
United States prisoners at Fort Smith,
Ark, to break Jail at that place and
The story of their desperate and dar-
ing attempt is fully told in the follow
ing special dispatch sent out from
Fort Smith yesterday:
A mutiny of large proportions oc-
Cured at the federal Jail today which
resulted in one man being dangerous
ly If not fatally wounded, Henry
Starr, Kid Wilson and John Poynter,
the latter under sentence of death,
were the ringleaders in the affair.
The cells are arranged in three tiers,
one above the other. In the lower
tier the murderers are confined, in the
second the men charged with larceny
and assault, and in the third and top
tier the whiskey peddlers have their
abode. This morning the men con-
fined in the upper tier succeeded i'll
breaking a hole in the IRON floor of
the corridor, and some of them de-
cended to the second tier. This en-
couraged the criminals in this tier to
make a like effort, and an opening
was soon forced in the floor and an
opening was made large enough to al
low the men to decend to the first
floor, or "murderers row." as it is call
ed. On this floor are confined Henry
Starr aud John Poynter, both desper-
ate men. Marshal Crump was notif-
ed about II o'clock of what was going
on and he went at once to the Jail to
direct operations.
He at first tried to persuade the
men to go back to their respective
cells, but they refused to do so. They
offered to compromise, saying they
would go back if the marshal would
promise not to punish them. This
the marshal refused to do. Guards
were stationed on the outside near
the openings made by the men aud in
structed to shoot any of the inmates
of the upper tiers who should attempt
to decend to the lower floor.
Two of the guards opened the door
leading into the lower corridor with
instructions to put the men back into
the cells. Young Baxter, son of
Jailer Baxter, stepped in and as he
did so Charley Jones, convicted of
larceny, made at him with an iron
spittoon, which he had picked up from
the floor. Baxter called on him to
halt, but Jones continued to advance.
Baxter took deliberate aim from his
revolver and sent bullet square into
the face of Jones, the bullet striking
him under the eye, inflicting a prob
ably fatal wound.
By this time every desperate in the
corridor had armed himself with an
iron spittoon or water jug and things
looked desperate. The door was clos
ed and patience having ceased to be a
virtue, Marshal Crump took out his
watch and told the prisoners that he
would give them exactly five minutes
to got back into their cells, at the
same time instructing his guards to
commencing firing at the expiration
of that time. This had the desired eff
feet, and before the time was up every
man was in his cell. Had the slight
est opportunity offered. there is no
doubt that desperate attempt to es-
cape would have been made, as The
leaders, Starr, Wilson and Poynter,
are the most desperate men confined
in the Jail.
