stated that he would rather go To

A MAN ARRESTED AT Ell
DORADO SAYS HAD AN AR
RANGEMENT WITH THE
SHERIFF. OF CLRVE-
LAND COUNTY
To Dismiss Certain Indictments for
Selling Liquor Without
License-Plotted to
Burn theCourt
House at
Rison.

Ell DORADO, Ark, Sept. special
to the Arkansas Demoerat1-Our
sheriff has man in his custody by
name oil j. G. Stafford, whom he ar
rested on telegram from Rison,
where he is wanted for selling whisky
In dry" county. Stafford informs
our sheriff freely that he has been
selling whisky in that county (Cieve-
land) for the past two years, and
that he proposes to sell in junction
City in this county as soon as he can
pay his fine ana get back; that he
expected to go back and pay his fine,
as he considers it cheaper than
county license. He has United
States license. He boasts OF there
being three bills against him at
Rison, but that he already has an
agreement with the sheriff that he
would get the prosecuting attorney
to mol pros one and continue one,
and let him plead guilty to one.
Now, we do not say that such
state of affairs exists in any county,
nor that we altogether believe the
story of this confessed outlaw, but
will say that if they are true, for the
good OF our country, the courts ana
officers had better "call halt, and
if there is no foundation for such,
how is it that yiolators OF this law
get such an impression, and even act
on 1t as a fact? Surely the precedent
has been set some time in the past.
Also what right has sheriff or
prosecuting attorney to make an
arrangement with law-breaker
like the one this man relates and let
them go free by paying n small line!
If sit is the severity and certainty oil
a penalty that deter men from the
commission OF crime" is not such a
course an inceGt tive to crime ana Vio-
lation of a law that is already
broken too much, and in almost
every dry" county in the State, 10
the sale OF "Pe-ru-na, "Sherbet,
..Rice Extract" and numerous other
subterfuges for straight whisky?
This man also informs the sheriff
that he With several Others entered
into conspiracy to burn the court
house OF Cleveland county in order
to get rid OF the Indictments against
them

ELwooD, Ind, Sept. Negroes
residing in Elwood have been
warned to leave, and serious trouble
is threatened if they are not gone
by the middle of this week. On
numerous occasions during the past
twelve years colored people have
made efforts to establish a perman-

driven away. Two months ago a
colony of fifty negroes came here
and expressed a determination to
brave all dangers and make EIwood

ployment, and then warning began
to be served on them. A few of
them departed but others remained.

4 THING OF MEMORY
70 PINE BLUFFS BIG TRADES
PARADE AND IT'S PLEAS
UREs.
The Now Looked-for Event is La.
Dor Day and It's Grand Cele.
bration.

TIE Trades Parade, and pleasures
incident thereto, is now thing OF
memory. The parade, from point
ii excellence surprised nearly all OF
our people, and it pleased our guests
and visitors. The closing festivities
took place at Jones Park in the
afternoon and at the opera house at
night.
At the park there was a ball game
between the Cotton Belt and Stutt-
cart teams, a horse race with two
local thoroughbreds as contestants,
and one OF the most successful bal
leen aeeensions that ever occurred .
Several thousand people were at
the park to enjoy these events, and
this they did to their hearts con-
tent.
At the opera house last night
there was a performance, on the
minstrel order, given by local tai
ent, and, as a whole, the perform
ance was eredltable and satisfied, SO
far as we can learn, those who at
tended. The house was fairly well
filled. The instigators of the Trades
Parade movement have every req
son to feel satisfied with their work
and the results therefrom, and had
1t not been from the TACT that Labor
Day celebration is so close at hand
the number OF visitors to the city
would have been much larger, but
these visitors could not come twice
to our city in such Il short space OF
time, so they reserved themselves for
Labor Day, which is a National hol-
iday and which will be celebrated in
all parts of the Union. but with es-
peclal magnifcenee in Pine Bluff.
Our business men. to aid the La
Dor organizations, have raised a
large fund which is to be expended
in entertaining our guests on Sep
TENDER 6.
Magnificent bands have been Sc
cured. A grand bah will be given at
the park that night In the after
noon there will be exciting games
and prominent men will be here to
make speeches to the people.
Everything will be free. No
charges will be made to participate
in or enjoy any OF the amusemeats.
AZ the park the best OF order will
be maintained and ladies and chill
dren can go there with perfect pro-
priety and security. No intoxicat-
Ing liquors will be allowed on the
grounds, and everything will be con
Quoted in a happy, yet decorous
manner.
The line OF march OF the grand
parade will be published later, and
and the marshals will see that the
advertised line is followed by the
procession, so that none win be dis
appointed ia seeing the parade, as
was the case yesterday.

THE CELEBRATION WILL
ECLIPSE ANYTHING
EVER ATTEMPTED
IN THIS CITY.
The Parade Will be Simply Grand.
Rivalry Between Our Merchants
as to Who Will Have the
Handsomest Float.

Labor Day celebration in Pine
Bluff will eclipse anything of the
kind eyer before attempted in the
State, and the day in our city will
be one of pleasure and excitement
from early morn until late at night.
TIE various committees in charge
Of the arrangements, etc. have
about completed their labors, aud
everything is in readiness for the
day. Two magnificent brass bands
from Memphis will be here.
The committee which went to
Little Rock to secure four cannons
and State flags from the Governor
have returned and state that they
were successful in their mission,
and the booming of The big guns
viii rouse the country for miles
around, and remind aold-timers of
the battle of Pine Bluff. Governor
Jones has been invited TO be with us
on that day, and the probabilities
are that he will accept the invita-
ton. Other State officials will be
here also.
Mr.. Fred u. Jones, Division
Passenger Agent of the st. Louis
Southwestern was in the city today,
and he announces that the Cotton
Belt will run a special train from
Little Rock to Pine Bluff on Labor
ray, September 6. This train will
leave Little Rock at 745 a. m. and
will leaye Pine Bluff on return triF
at midnight This will give
visitors an opportunity to remain in
Pine Bluff to attend the grand bal
and witness the festivities at night
Our merchants are now greatly
enthused about floats for the pa
rade, and great rivalry as to which
firm will have the handsomest float
has been engendered. The floats to
follow the procession OF civic bodies,
secret orders and labor unions, will
be grand These floats are now be-
ing constructed, and every firm of
any prominence in the city will have
one or more in line. The Cotton
Belt shops will have several noats
which will create wonder in the
minds of all beholders.
The grand pavilion at Jones'
Park, at which will take place the
ball during the night, is now being
constructed.
Visitors to Pine Bluff on Labor
Day will be made to feel that they
are our guests, No charges will be
made to any of the amusements or
festivities. They-one and all-will
be extended the "glad-hand, so
that they will be SO well pleased
with their visit that they will come
again.
The number of visitors promises
to be very large, yet no one will be
overlooked or sighted.
