A BAPTIST PREACBER
Among the Prisoners in the County Jail Just Now-A Wife Beater.

Rev. Jim Elsey, a negro who en- joys the distinction of being Bap- tist preacher, is now an inmate of the Jefferson county jail. He was placed therein this morning by Con- stable Stewart, who arrested him at his divorced wife's home about two miles south of this city this morn ing upon charge of wife beating.
 Key. Elsey lives few miles above Little Rock and for some reason his wife left him few months ago and came to Pine Bluff, where she rent ed plantation aud began farming. She was meeting with success and had no troubles of importance up to Wednesday afternoon, when her ex- husband came down from Little Rock aud hunted for his progress sive ex-spouse. His hunt proved suc- cessful. He begged her to occom- pany him back home and promised faithfully to be true to his honey love. She told him to take his clothes and go, that she didn't want to live with him any more. He be. came enraged and beat her unmer- citully with an iron poker. Constable Stewart heard of the affair and the above, as men toned, was the result.
 Pine Bluff authorities have no sympathy whatever for wlfe-beaters and in all probability "de Reverend Elsey' will serve several months upon Jefferson county farm.
 Late this afternoon Elsey was fined $50 and costs, the whole amount of which is SIS, by Justice Vance tor his cruelty. A months Imprisonment was also added to the punishment.

VISITED THE PLANT.
Mr. Louis Altheimer Tells of Lamb
 6 Company Plant

MT. Louis Altheimer returned : Wednesday afternoon from Free port, H., where he went at his own expense to view Lamb & Company's manufacturing plant. Lamb < Co make a speciality of manufacturing wind mills and farming implements. They are very anxious to move their interests to Pine Bluff owing to the excellent timber lands in which we are situated.
 A Graphic reporter met Nr. Alt heimer this morning and upon being asked about the big plant, be said;
 'tYes, I saw the plant, and l am of the opinion that Pine Bluff IS missing an excellent opportunity. Mir. Lamb is most excellent gen. tleman and seems very anxious to locate iu Pine Bluff. His plant is one of the largest manufactories in Freeport, and there are several of them. Each department is manag- ed by skilled workmen of many years experience, and the orders they receive daily from European cities is simply wonderful.
 1T inquired of several of the bank CTS there as to the financial stand ing of MT. Lamb and x.tbe company in general. Each reply l received was more than satisfactory.
 MT. Altheimer was appointed by Judge Jones as one of the commit tee to solicit subscriptions. He certainly deserves much praise for the interest he has taken in the matter and the commendable inter- est he2is always taking in Pine Bluffs welfare.
 Lamb & Company do not ask for 3 bonus, but ask that the citizens subscribe for $20, 900 of the stock.
 As MT. Atheimer says, Pine Bluff should not miss such great oppor- tunity as now presents itself.

MONEY SLOT MACHINES
Will Not Be Allowed in Jefferson
 County Says Mr. sorrells.

In the last issue of the Press Eagle appeared.a statement that it had been reliably informed that Prosecuting Attorney ". B. Sor- rells was perfecting arrangements with the saloon men whereby the money slot machines will be per mitted to run in this city upon the payment of fines.
 Mir. Sorrels returned Wednesday from weeks vacation and Graph ic reporter, in order to learn if the Press-Eagle's statements were true, inquired of him if such arrange ments were being perfec ted. Ee said no such arrangements were in progress no" would there be. "The Press-Eagle also said there were sey eral saloons doing business with out license in Jefferson county, ]" said MT. Sorrells, "but a special grand jury said its charges were false"
 He concluded by saying that if time proves this money-slot machine charge untrue, it will also prove how unreliable is MT. Murray's in. formation. That was all Mr. Sor- rells would say about the matter.

throughout this section, up to with in the past few days which have been warm and dry.
 Although many places are badly in the grass and suffering for want of labor some progress has been made, and another week or two of favorable weather will enable some farmers to catch up with their field work.
 The fact remains, however, that the the crop is very spotted and a good strnd is the exception instead of the rule; this complaint general and seems to be the result chiefly of planting faulty seed helped along by excessive rams and grass. Even in the hill country where a rain is always in order. the same complaint of poor stands is heard, and our latest advice from both bill aud river country is to the effect that a kind of grass worm is destroying whole fields of corn and other green things; they have not yet attacted cotton, but number of our large planters say they are forerunners of the caterpillar There is great deal of uneasiness manifested among farmers generally on this subject, and unless the weather remains dry and warm for sometime to come the consequences are apt to be serious, cotton is, of course, hot weather plant and a spell of such weather will at once help the plant and de- stroy it's enemies.
 The crop is one month and 15 per cent. short of last year; this time last year it was full of blooms and squares and healthy well-grown weed. whereas it is now small and poorly cultivated with large per- centage of it not yet brought to a stand.
 Very truly yours,

THE OLD WAY
Of Treating Dyspepsia and Indigestion by Dieting Dangerous and
 Useless One.

We say the old way; but really it is a very common one at the present time and many dyspeptics and phy- slclans as well consider the first step to take ln attempting to cure indiges- ton IS to diet, either by selecting cer- tain foods and rejecting others or to greatly diminish the quantity usually taken, Tn other words the starvation plan IS supposed by many to be the first essen tial.
 The almost certain failure of the starvation cure has been proven time and again, but still the moment dys- pepsia makes it's appearance a course ot dieting IS at once advised.
 All this is radically wrong, 1t is foolish and unscientitic to recommend dieting to man suffering from dys. pepsla, because indigestion itself staIVes every organ, every nerve, and every fibre in the body.
 What the dyspeptic wants is abund- ant nutrition, which means plenty of good, wholesome well cooked food. and something to assist the weak stom ach 10 digest 1t. This is exactly the pur- pose for which Stuart's Dyspepsia q Tablets are adapted and this is the method by which they cure the worst cases of dyspepsia, in other words the patlent eats plenty of wholesome food ana etuarts Dyspepsia Tablets digests IL for him, In this way the system IS nourlshed and the overworked stom. ach rested, because the tablets will digest the food whether the stomach works or not. One of these tablets Will digest 5000 grains of meat or eggs

NEAR THORNTON TIE JIM JACKSON AND BILL JENK
 lNS TO A TREE AND
SHAMEFULLY WHIP THEM.
The Cause of the Affair is Not Known White People Much Enraged
 at Their Actions.

Whitecappers have turned out in full force in the vicinity of Thorn. ton, n,ICalnoun county, judging from the outrageous reports which reach ed this city last night.
 A recent visitor to that place brought the news to Pine Bluff and he IS in every way reliable and has an excellent past record as being such. He tells of the affair as follows:
 A masked body of twenty five negroes went to the home of Bill Jenkins and Jim Jackson, who re- sided upon the plan tation of Capt. Stroud, one of the oldest and most highly respected planters of that section, and demanded entrance. Naturally they were refused and the party forced their way in the cabin by bursting in the door.
 After short consultation, Jenkins and Jackson were taken into the woods. tied to trees and unmercifully and shamefuly whipped. The cries of the victims awoKe Capt. Stroud, who went to the scene but the men were "on to- his coming and fled in all directions.
 The cause of the affair is not known, but nevertheless the white people are much enraged about it, as Jenkins and Jackson are two of the most peaceable and law-abiding citizens of that neighborhood.

SMALLPOX IN HAVANA
To Be Guarded Against by General
 Vaccination.

Havana, June 21.-Maior General Ludlow has issued an order direct ing a general re-vaccination in Havana. It is the result of few sporadic cases of smallpox. He de- sires to main tain the present ex. ceptional health conditions and rec ord. No attempt will be made to secure lymph from the United States, and the supply of thousand points now on hand is for the most part ineffective.
 The authorities, however, have a lot of fine calves that are we'll cared for on the city farm, and these will serve the purpose.
 It is estimated that within thirty days 175, 900 people will be vaccinat- ed. Those who wish to evade the rule must show that they have been recently Yaccinated this year. Gen. Ludlow believes that the course be proposes will effectually prevent any possible spread of smallpox,

And a man shall be as a hiding
place from the wind, and covert
from the tempest; as rivers of
waters in dry place, as the sha-
dow of great rock in weary
land-Isaiah xxi, ii.
Last Sabbath our Chaplain, Rev.
s. j. Kennedy, drew his thoughts
from the above text; and as he
warmed to the subject and the
strong voice rose and filled the
space with it's resonant harmony
every face became wrapt with at
tention; and those who, perhaps,
had been impelled thither wholly
by desire to hear the prison choir
sing, we're wooed away from world
ly cares, and for the time at least
gave their thoughts to Christ and
holy things. The selections by the
choir were beautiful, and we'll
rendered, and we are certain they
have much cause to expect help
and encouragement.

In it's undue precipitation and
canine contortions there certainly
was something suggestive of rab-
bies. Hastily grabbing a table
spread, one of the boys prepared
to make Funston play. So, while
the pastry cook got into the flour
bin, and the chef behind the
range, and his second into the
oven, and the Oriental purveyor of
hash and stews climbed water
pipe, this brave youth prepared to
save them all. Deity he threw
the cloth over the little beast and
valiantly he struggled with it until
it was subdued; then it was dis
covered that Trix was not mad at
all, only sorry-sorry that he had
played SO carelessly with a certain
small puss and she had set a claw
deep in tender part. Facetious
ones were inclined to hint at certain
more potent agencies that are some
times employed to accelerate the
movement of dogs. But we reject
this idea as to heinous for con-
temptation.

WESTERN LEAGUE,


The first session of the police
court, presided over by Judge
Earnhart, was attended with very
unusual circumstances. Tie po-
lice officers were, no doubt, very
much surprised when the new
Judge made an address in which he
outlined the future policy of the
court. Among other things this
just Judge said: "Nor do I desire
to be informed of case outside of
the trial. All that is said must be
said in the presence of the defend
ant and his attorneys. Officers
might aid in information, but the
practice is bad, and as I am ap-
pointed judge, I will assume the
responsibility Of the conclusion
The above statement shows con-
clusively that Mr.. Earnhart is a
fair, just judge, who will not allow
himself to be unduly influenced by
any undetermined "knocking.' In
finishing his manly address, Judge
Earnhart said: IF an officer can
not, by his training and skill, dis
cover guilt, let it go. The man
who resorts to tricks to obtain q
conviction will find the prisoner
discharged. Nor shall I look upon
the number Of arrests as mark of
efficiency. The poorest officer
often makes the most arrests" All
persons who are acquainted with
the manner in which many of our
police courts are conducted will
fully agree with Judge Earnhart
in all that he has said on this
subject.
AS rule, those who appear be-
fore the police court belong to that
class who have neither friends nor
money, and it too often happens
that they receive a very poor
sample of justice. A prominent
attorney, in a city not far from
Columbus, some time ago gave it
as his opinion that about one-half
of the inmates Of the city's work
house we're illegally confined.
Rushed into court without having
had an opportunity to make him
self presentable, and being firmly
convinced that the arresting officer
has had little talk with the Judge
before court opened, it is hardly
to be wondered at if the prisoner
is given six months on general
principles" It is high time that
