principal Odd Fellows lodges of the city.
About six months ago, Deputy Grand
Master ]. H. Gingery offered pair of
silver mounted gavels as a prize for the
lodge that should do the best work in ex-
duplication of the degrees of the order.
A finely bound volume on Odd Fellowship
was offered as second prize. AS conse-
quence, the four largest lodges of the city
have been training for the last six months
in the hope of winning the first prize.
semi-Tropic Lodge No. 3s1 was to con

Lodge No. 100, second degr e; Good Will
Lodge No. 323, third degret.
On Tuesday night six or seven hundred
Odd Fellows were in attendance, and the
work of comforting the degrees lasted till
A clock Wednesday morning.
A fine lunch was provided, by the ladies
of Columbia Rebekah Lodge. and the
hall rang with merriment, all night long.

Semi-Tropic. the winning lodge, is tho
youngest lodge in the city, is but three
years of age, and is the second in the
city in membership.
The remarkable prosperity of the Odd
Fellows lodges even in these times of
great business depression is the best evil
dence of the greatness of the order and
the soundness of its principles.
The new l. o. o. F. hall cost SAG, 900; a
new lodge is now being organized, and
many members are added to the old
lodges every week.
There are now over 800, 900 Odd Fellows

tendance Tuesday and TUESDAY, mi ght, and

ESTABLISHING AN ALIBI
Mrs. Platt's Whereabouts on the Night the
House Burned Down

House Burned Down
The examination of the witnesses for
the defense in the case of Mrs. Platt,
charged with arson, took up all day yes
terday and was not concluded at the time
Justice Young adjourned court until Mon
day morning. The examination is neces-
sarily Slow owing to the searching ex-
animation to which the Assistant District
Attorney submits the witnesses.
o. G. Knox, husband of the lady who
was exonerated on Friday afternoon,
testified that Mrs. Platt was at his home
with Mrs. Knox and Mrs. Killroy on
August "a, 1894, the night of the fire.
Between 8 and 8 o'clock Mrs. Platt went
over 20 her house to get some
medicine. The fire was not discovered
till midnight. She was getting ready to
60 home for the night when the alarm
was given. Witness little girl went with
Mrs. Platt and was at the fire. When
Mr.. Knox came came back from it he
found Mrs. Platt lying in the bed at his
house. 1t was his impression that he
had wondered how it happened, and that
Mrs. Platt answered that she did not
know.
Mrs. Killroy corroborated the preceding
witness. She said that Mrs. Plat had
been gone but short time while away
for the medicine for Mrs. Knox. MIS-.
Josie McGinn's testimony went to indi-
cate that all the parties concerned in the
case are Spiritualists.
After some character witnesses had tes-
titled, the case went over until tomorrow
morning, when Mrs. Platt will take the
stand. The defense has proven SO far an
alibi worthy OF some consideration.

A FEW FA6TS!

We wish to state few facts, for the con-
sideration Of the general public, and ask care
full perusal and consideration Of the same. We
believe the people want to sustain and keep up
good newspaper in Texarkana.
Now for the facts as to the "Texarkanian:"
It has by far the most complete printing
outfit the city ever had-inVeStment is more
than double that Of any other plant in the city.
With bran new body type, and latest styles OF
new job and advertising display type, best
presses run by a little gem Of gas engine, no
city Of TeXarkanas size in the South can show
better equipped office, nor turn out neater pa
per- or more stylish job work. at lowest prices.
1t employs, and pays cash, for more labor
than any other office In the city. Five or six
families derive a support or revenue from its
income. Its monthly expense account most OF
which stays in Texarkana] foots up from $500
to $3.50 per month. 1t is live, progressive
newspaper, outspoken for right Democratic
to the core, reserves the privilege Of censur-
ing wrong inits own party as well as out OF IT.
1t gives daily nearly double as much inter-
esting reading matter as any other paper in the
city, and is by far the neatest paper ever gotten
out here---so dozens OF citizens have told u.s.
Its lob department is the best equipped in
Southwest Arkansas or Northeast Texas. Any
and all classes Of job printing done to order,
equal to st. Louis, and prices In competition
with the world. Satisfaction guaranteed in ev-
cry instance. Bring us your job work.
CONCLUSIONS.
Now for conclusions: Having invested our
money and given our entire time to the upbuild-
ing Of such paper, and constantly laboring for
the best interests Of TeXarkana, can we not rea-
sonaby ask for an increased public patronage?
That many who should do so, do not advertise
advertise nor give us their job work is a painful
fact Now, try us and see If you wont get "Val-
ue received" in every instance.

A FINANCIAL WAR,

This country is in great trouble
over its finances a regular iinan-
cial war, brought on by the gold.
bugs of Wall street, Twice has the
treasury been squeezed out of gold
by them, necessitating two bond
issues. In Consequence of this
greatly troubled financial condition
the masses are suffering almost as
much distress, entailing want and
misery, as from a war with some
great nation, Depreciation Of values
In property and products of the soil
has brought penury and want to
hundreds of thousands of worthy
homes, yet Democratic Congress
lies still and lets this condition be
continued, AS well let foreign foe
invade our land, aud rob and burn
along its path. Nobody can deny
that this financial war is now on,
and has been for sometime past.
1t is a condition, not a theory that
today confronts us,
A Democratic Congress can not
afford to let a coming Republican
Congress doctor our finances We
