PETITION NO. ?. STATE ARKANSAS, ST. FRANCIS COUNTY. ]
 nptohor 18th 1904 \


 To Hts Honor, The Hon. Grant Green. Judge of the lst. Judicial District of ArEQnSds:-
 HONORABLE SRA petition is being circulated in this county, asking your Honor to admit plea of misdemeanor in ar suit pending for arson and known ss the white cap" cases, to save fur ther trouble and expense.
 We. the undersigned citizens, think a molle prose Qui would meet the case much better, inasmuch as the pr0secu- tor himself admits some of the parties are innocent. And all were indicted on the evidence of disreputable negroes and detectives. one Of which is now confined in x felOn s cell, awaiting trial for his life, another is dead whom his neighbors say, they could not believe on his oath.
 The prisoners were taken from tall and intimidation was used to extOrt from them confessions Fraternal ties have been impaired |, christian communion severed, time and crops lost. And we think it would be repugnant to true manhood for in- nocent men to plead guilty to crime they have never committed, besides beiDg an injustice to their families.

Information from Helena is some what menger, but the dispatches of Wednesday stated that jury was ob- tained in the whitecap cases and the trial proceeded, with the examination of three witnesses for the prosecution. Two of these were white men and one negro. The two white men testified to the location of the houses with the burning of which the prisoners are charged.
 The negro, Alex Alexander, a tenant of one Ed Bryant, white man, testi. fled to having his suspicious aroused by the actions of his landlord, of his being joined at dusk by two of the men on trial, and of having watched them while they burned two cabins, one of which was the property of Henry Banks of Memphis and the other belonging to MT. Martin of Palestine. He recog- nized the men by the light of the flames
 The defense will endeavor to show that the negro perjured himself Tn giv. inc this testimony, that he is unworthy of belief, that he is cruel man, and that on one occasion he tortured one of his own children to death.
 Yesterdays dispatches say that an extra session will be held tonight. A dozen witnesses for the State have been examined. the most damaging testimO- ny being that of three negroes, who claim to have been eye. witnesses to the burning uf at least two houses.
 The sensation of the day WAS the tes- timony of one Gus Bryant, a long haired. fierce -muStAched white man, who is the boss of elan known as Gideon's Band. When the defendants were indicted in St. Francis County he testified that thoy were all members of Gideon's Band. a clique Of men bound by bloody oaths to run tue negroes out of the county. To-day he testified t0 d different set of facts altogether. He is charged by the prosecution. who intro duced him. as the possessor of very convenient memory, and they propose to impeach his testimony on the paths of some of the best citizens of St. Fran CHS County.

The disaster to the Kearsarge, and the
claim OF the navigating officer Of the
ill-fated vessel that Roncador reef Is
not correctly laid down on the chart,
throws doubt on the position of other
points In the Caribbean Sea, and the
result may be good II fresh surveys are
ordered, A few miles of error in any
location should not be tolerated in these
days when accuracy almost absolute is
possible The survey was taken so long
ago that there may well be some error
in the longitude II not in the latitude,
as the means OF taking close observa-
tions were not then nearly as good as
now.

spend part of an hour in earnest prayer
for this town.
2. Relief Work-Part Of an afternoon
every two weeks we spend in sewing
clothes for the poor, mendlng and mal-
ing over clothes to be given to the
needy.
Ten needy families reported to us
have been personally visited by some
Of our committee, and relief given them,
One poor, sick woman was taken care
of for four days in this city. then pro-
vlded with necessary clothing and her
way paid to Portland, where she wished
to go.
Lately, at nearly every one of our
weekly meetings. some poor woman
comes to get clothes for her needy fam
lily.
Literature-Our superintendent Of for
eign literature reports that In the past
few months she has distributed 1000
pages of Swedish, Danish, and Finnish
temperance literature. which was eager
ly read by those nationalitles. We are
sending to Norway for some Norwegian
temperance literature, consisting of
hooks tracts, leaflets, etc, as no suit
able temperance literature in that Ian
guage Is published in this country. We
also subscribe and pay for temper
ance paper in that language for Fisher
mems Reading Room
American literature-Of Temperance
literature we have distributed many
thousand pages.
Social Purity-Since last May the su-
perintendent of social purity has dis
tributed 1850 pages on social purity.
She has also visited women In the
slums, city and county prisons, and
tried by prayer and conversation to
lead them to a better life. offering, in
the name Of the Union. hlep to those
who wished to leave their bad life and
would accept our help. One woman ac-
Ncepted the offer was sent to our w. C.

now earning an honest living. Several
letters have been sent to the friends Of
other girls. that their families might
rescue them.
AS a union we contribute SO year to
our state Rescue Home, so that we may
send Astoria's erring ones to Its care.
Cigarettes--Our superintendent has
distributed so copies OF our late law
where It would do the most good. Also,
we have circulated petition on the
subject. These are only few hasty
points gathered OF our work in the last
few months, but the multitude of good
efforts put forth and good done can
never be told.
The Union kindly begs those who
have cast-off clothing to bring them to
Rescue hall. or IA Main street. or send
notice to some of our members. We are
out OF material. and the cases
OF needy ones increase daily.

The South Bend journal does not con-
slider Astoria's railroad prospects very
bright. and asserts with degree Of
confidence that is amusing that sew
eral important deaths must first occur
here before our hopes are realized.
Sometime" says the Journal, Astoria
win be, perhaps one Of the important
ports OF the coast. but not until many
changes have taken place In her
moneyed populace. 1t would not hurt
the Journal to inform itself on the sub
ject before displaying such conglom-
crate mass OF mlsinformation. In the
first place there are no moss-backs in
this city. and secondly the contract for
the construction Of the road win be
signed at an early day and the work
finished before November next 50
that the sometime" mentioned BY the
Journal, is not so distant after all.
