Several days after that date letters were re. ceived postmarked at Rotan about the middle of March, and covered all over with 'missent. stamps to make it appear that the goesses had been sent in time, out had been de layed by the mails. There were three guesses for the postmaster and two members of his family, all three were identical aud exactly correct according to the figures pub lished by the paper This was a pc. culiar condition of things which aroused suspicion, and the case was placed in the hands of the postal department, with the result noted. It IS claimed that the postmaster waited until after April 1, secured She figures from the published list and 'doctored the letters accord lngly.

IN POLICE CIRCLES.
Only Three Csses Up This Morning
 All Postponed

Policeman Culpepper arrested One-Arm Bob Robinson, the dray- man, Wednesday afternoon for SO. liciting baggage on the Iron Noun tain depot platform. The draymen who lag around depots in this city at train time are getting to be a nuisance and the police should make them get at @ greater distance than they are now compelled to stand. Their loud conversations are another nuisance that should be abated.
 MT. Henry Monk of this city was arrested Wednesday for riding 8 bi- cycle on the sidewalks.
 Sam Moore, negro, was arrested Wednesday afternoon for disturbing the peace.
 All of the above cases were con- tinued until this afternoon.

WAS PROSECUTING ATTOR- NEY JO JOHNSON AT
 FORT SMITH.
SEVERELY CRITICIZED.
Was Recently Indicted For Failure to Prosecute 2
 Whisky Case.

FORT SMITH, Aug 30.-Jo John san, prosecuting attorney of this district, was hanged in ethgy here last night on the Merchants bank corner, on Garrison avenue. The dummy was viewed until after g o'clock, when it was cut down.
 Johnson has been the subject of a great deal of criticism recently on account of his participation h the trayesty by which a jury of lewd women was permitted to try a case.
 The only plausible explanation of fered is that made by Johnson him. self. He had had many eases and much testimony in Justice Bakers court, but DO convictions, which he attributed to the unreasonable ac- tion of the court. He says that when the defendants attorney sug- gested a jury of the character nam ed he thought t well to let the pub. lie see just what kind of a court 1t was he had to contend with and therefore consen ted.
 Johnson has since been indicted by a grand jnry in Scott county for failure to prosecute a certain whisky case, but it appears that he was ab. sent attending his fathers deathbed at the time and the dismissal was made by his deputy on his own mo. tion and without authority from Johnson.

ARKANSAS LEADS OTHER STATES IN RAILROAD
 CONSTRUCTION.
THE MACKAY AIR LINE.
"The Best Investment for Capi, fal,' Says a Journal-The M.
 R. H. & W's Business.

The present Indications are that the great State of Arkansas will lead the States of the Union in new railroad construction, and even in miles she falls little behind some of her sisters it is certain that she will fall behind none of them ID the number of branches, short lines and the like, says the Memphis Scimitar:
 The Mackay Air line road, from St. Louis to Fort Smith, is still a very likely probability. It is pro jected from Pomona through Harri- son and will cut the mineral belt in two. The Manufacturers Record says it is the best pportunity for capital presente in the whole coun- try at this time. A very careful preliminary survey was recently completed, ana now the locating corps are well on the way from Po- mona. This is the enterprise which ex.Governor Fisnback is personally interested, and he has been assured that London bankers will advance all capital necessary to finance the scheme.
 Work will begin on the Northwest Arkansas x Tallequah railroad, from Fayetteville, Ark, to Still well I. T., about September 10.
 The Arkansas Central has stopped work at Paris, and it Is believed the Iron Mountain is figuring on some sort Of combination to- scoop it's control. This company has survey ed line from Bald Knob west, but nothing has come of it yet.
 The Des Arc < Higginson road is to be extended to DeVall's Bluff at once.
 A short line is under construction from Pine Blnff to Sheridan, dis tance of thirty miles, and 256 State convlcts are being employed upon it.
 It is understood that work on the extension of the Eureka Springs road, from Eureka Springs to Har- rison, distance of thirty miles, and 256 State convicts are belnq employed upon it.
 It is understood that work on the extension of the Eureka Springs road, from Eureka Springs to Har- rison, distance of fifty miles, vii begin in sixty days. This is a Fris. co project.
 The Iron Noun tain has expended hundreds of thousands of dollars ir lowering their grade between Little Rock and Alexander, station six teen miles south. At one polnt crews have been at work since June 1898, aud have lowered the track twelve feet at some points.
 The Mississippi River, Hamburg X Western, completed recently, is now dolng a good business, ,oand vii soon be extended west from Ham burg A regular office has beer opened at Greenyllle, Miss, anC transfers to the terminus at Lunas Landing are ma de on all business secured for the line.
