PENSION DECISION.

Assistant Attorney Hale has rem
dered decision in one Of the pension
claim suits, pending at Washington,
D. c., holding that after a pension
conferred by Congress on persons
who have application for a pension,
every such person shall be considered
as having a money claim against the
government.
This decision was rendered in a
case referred from the commissioner
of pensions to the assistant secretary
OF the interior, and from him to the
assistant attorney general. 1t was
based on the inquiry of ex-Deputy
Commissioner OF Pensions Lincoln,
whether he can, as an ex-employe, be
recognized as an attorney in claims
which where pending during his in-
cumbency in Office in view of section
1870 revised statutes, prohibiting ex-
employees from prosecuting any claim
against the United States, pending
while they were in Office, for a period
oftwo years after leaving Office. Com
missioner Lochren held that the sec
ton applied to Mr.. Lincoln's case, and
with this the assistant attorney gener-

DAsTARDLY MURDER.
Desperate Bandits Rob q Train and
Murder the Express Messenger.

Shortly after midnight, on Tuesday
morning, bold gang Of desperate
robbers boarded the east bound train,
on the Southern Pacific railway, bound
from Houston, Tex, to New Orleanes,
La. The bandits made their way in
to the Express Car, where they rined
the route agents safe of all yaluables,
They then turned their attention to
the through safe, which is generally
made the depository Of large money
packages, and here Il was, as it is
thought, that the faithful messenger
lost his lite, the supposition being
that the messenger, j. G. Richardson,
was ordered to open the other safe
and, either from fidelity to the COM
pany or inability to comply, refused
losing ms life In consequence.
The bandits then managed to es-
cape, with their spoils, unobserved
from the car, getting off with several
valuable money packages, though SO
far it ia not knwon how much was
taken. The robbery occurred some
where between Houston and Dayton,
Tex, but the actual point whore the
horrible outrage was committed cam
not be stated. Messenger Richardson
was undoubtedly shot from behind
while at his desk, for there was
large bullet hole in the rear Of his
skull when the body was found, and
the form was lying on the floor of the
car at the side of the chair which he
always occupied. 1t is presumed af-
ter the first shot was fired into the
head of the messenger, he fell to the
floor and the robbers thereupon turn
ed on the body and fired four more
shots into his inanimate form to make
sure of their fendish work.
The messenger, Mr.. John O. Rich
ardson, who lost his life in the faith
full discharge Of his duty, trying to
protect the property Of his company,
was 35 years old, married and resided
with his family in New Orleans. From
what little can be learned it is appar-
ent the train porter on going into tho
car found Richardson dead.
The theory that he was killed by
the robbers for refusing to open the
large safe Is generally accepted as cor
rect. AS yet no clue has been obtain
ed as to the identity Of his slayers.
Every effort is being made to ferret
out the perpetrators Of the dastardly
deed.

PROFITABLE INDUSTRY.
Statistics That Will Prove Of Great
Interest to our Farmers.

As an evidence of the profit to be
made out of hogs and the number of
those useful animals that might be
raised ON what goes to feed the num-
bers of worthless ours, with which
every community is afflicted, we re-
produce the following test, which was
made by Mr.. j. |. Ross, of Conway
Arks. His test was made with pair
of typical "razor Backs" buying them
as pigs year ago at fifty cents apiece
and selling them on foot few days
ago at $29.50. They have not eaten
a grain of corn, being fed entirely on
scraps and swill that otherwise would
have been thrown away or given to
some stray dogs. From actual test
your correspondent finds that a single
dog will eat as mush as big hog, and
older inhabitants inform me that
when the dog law was in vogue in
Arkansas the tax books shows that
there was more dogs paid for than
legal voters in the state, to say moth
ing of the dead beats and ones that
were killed to avoid tax. 1t is also
an actual fact that the majority of
these worthless ours are owned by the
poorer class of white people and me-
groes, who can i'll afford to feed them.
Many of them are not satisfied with
one dog, but must have half dozen.
not being able to half feed this flock
they must necessarily feast on his
neighbours sheep. Kindly permit me
to make you few conservative facts
and figures. Taking Faulkner as a
criterion for the rest of the state.
This county has upwards of $500 vot-
ers, and, according to former statistics
over $500 dogs that cost annually $40
each to feed, or, in other words, if the
same amount was fed to hogs the ou4
come would be more than $40 each.
Concluding then that doing away
with dogs of Faulkner and apply the
same to attention Of hogs it would
transfer $4,000 worth of dog meat in
to nice pork, and multiplying this by
seventy five, the number of couuties
in the State it would be net saving
of $2,625,0OO unless the dogs are eaten.
Let the next legislature pass a dog law
and protect the honest industry Of
sheep raising This is an industry
that no person with means cares to
engage in because there is no protec-
ton. Give us hogs and sheep and
there will be less complaint of hard
times.

The Most Gorgeous Treasures Of

glowing descriptions of the secret

That was when you were o boy.
Today, possibly, you are unable to do
it. Shall we tell you the reason why?
Most probably because your liver is
sluggish, and as consequence you
suffer from sick headache, dizziness,
and constipation. Do you want to
cure all these troubles permanently,
make your liver active, your imagina-
ton lively, and in general enjoy things
as you did when boy? All you

PROMPT PUNISHMENT.

An example of prompt and effective
administration of justice, by the courts,
was set in the Miller circuit court,yes-
terday which is without an equal in
the legal history of this county. The
case in question was that of State of
Arkansas vs.. Tony Herr, Jack Down
ing and Alf johnson, all colored.
The defendents broke into the gro
Gerry store of Helms & Hobgood on
Saturday night and jailed by Marshal
Crenshaw on the following day as
noted in Mondays DEMOCRAT.
They were taken before justice Ed
wards for preliminary examination
and by him bound over to the grand
jury. The matter was brought to
Judge Hesrn's notice, Tuesday and on
Wednesday, the last day of court, the
Judge ordered special grand jury
empaneled, to investigate this partic-
ular case. The jury was promptly
summoned and sworn, the case inveS-
tigated and at noon, yesterday, bills of
indictment were returned. The de-
PENDANTS were then arraigned for trial.
Two of the number promptly entered
a plea of guilty and were sentenced as
follows:
Jack Downing, one year in state
penitentiary.
Tony Herr two years in penitentia-
ry.
Alf johnson, the third and young
est of the trio, was recommitted to
Jail as Judge Hearn was in doubt,
from the evidence adduced, as 10
whether or not he was of sufficient
age to be held legally accountable.
Hence his case goes over to next term
for further investigation. The two
negroes sentenced will be conveyed to
the penitentiary during the present
week and, when there, will have the
doubtful consolation of knowing that
they reached that very undesirable
abode by the shortest legal route yet
discovered. There yet remains at
large, one of the culprits, whose guilt
was developed by the examination in
court. He together with the one now
in jail will probably be brought to
face accusing justice at the next term
of the circuit court In the meantime
the county is saved considerable ex-
pense by the prompt action of Judge
Hearn and Prosecuting Attorney Car
ter III disposing of the matter as we
have recounted

One Great Long Laugh.

Saturday, Dec, 23 VIII be laughing
day at Ghio's opera house. On this
date that clever comedy organization
which presented the uproariously fun
ny play, "Dr. Bill" here last year, will
be seen here again, appearing in the
same merry comedy.
For pure solid fun, sweet selections
of song, dainty bits of dance and le-
gitimate comedy, "Dr. Bill" is an ideal
farclal concert. 1t is too good and too
comical a play to be dIssected in these
columns for the benefit of those who
neglected to see it last season, while
for those who did, such an analysis
would be utterly superiluous. The
point now is that it presents q clean,
bright polished two-and-a-half hours
invitation to genuine forgetfulness of
care and makes everyone who sees it
lose sight of the fact that they ever
had the blues. "Dr. Bill" is one great
long laugh. 1t is modern comedy
of errors and appeals especially to Ia
dies and married folks. 1t also con-
taius a good moral and a wholesome
lesson for those who are contemplat-
ing marriage. While funny as funny
can be, the comedy, "Dr, Bill" is at all
times Legitimate and refined. No horse
play methods are introduced for the
purpose of raising a laugh, nor is there
anything therein that is coarse or sug-
gestive. No better bill could have
been zelected for a holiday attraction.
