No Escape for Joint Keepers.

In the future jointkeepers will find
It of no avail to flee from the state
to escape punishment. They will be
brought back for trial providing the
governors of other states will honor
the acquisitions issued by Gov. Stan
ley. 1t has been the custom of Kan
sas governors not to issue requisi-
tions in misdemeanor cases unless
they were of an aggravated character,
but Gov. Stanley has decided to break
the precedent so far as it relates to
whisky cases.

At An ENORMOUS COST.
Bubonic Epidemic at Honolulu Prac.
tically Wiped Out, But Expenses
Will Reach ST., 900, 900.
EIGHT THOUSAND RENDERED HOMELESS
For Nearly Month the Government sup
piled Rations to About 1000 Persons
Ten Thousand Kept In Isolated Bar
racks-Capt. Kneedler, En- Route Home,
Speaks a Good Word for Southern Luzon

Honolulu, Feb. 11.-Now that the
plague is practically stamped out, no
deaths having occurred for eight days,
the question of what the quarantine
and inspection have cost is coming
to the front, to say nothing of the loss
through interruption of business. The
expenses the plague have entailed
have been enormous. The military
establishment alone costs about ST.
300 day. For nearly month the
government supplied rations to about
1000 persons in the quarantine dis
trict. The 10000 people who have
been or are in isolated barracks are
provided for at government expense
Upward of 5000 people have been rem
dered homeless by the burning of
buildings. Many lost their all, and
will for some time continue to be a
charge upon the government. No one
has as yet dared to make an exact
estimate of what the plague will cost
the public treasury, but it can not be
far under ST 900, 900.
Says War No Longer Exists.
Honolulu, Feb. 11.-Capt. w. L..
Kneedler, of the United States hos
pital ship Missouri, en- route to San
Francisco from Manila with sick sol
diers, says that he made tour of
southern Luzon in company with Gen.
Young just before leaving Manila, and
that the conditions there show a COM
plete cessation of war.
II found the people perfectly con-
tented and engaged in their agricul-
tural pursuits" said the captain, 'and
they are very prosperous. Splendid
crops are being raised and also many
cattle, and there were no signs that
the Filipinos were not satisfied with
the new order of things. AS far as
this whole district is concerned, the
trouble seems to be at an end. Ma
Mia itself is quiet and prosperous
There is absolutely no sign of disturb
ance there. I was amazed at the
amount of work that has been done
toward making the place sanitary
The town is in remarkably clean
condition"

IN THE EDUCATIONAL ARENA.

The teachers of the colored public
schools of Jacksonville, Fla, have set
magnificent example, and proven
themselves worthy of tae support and
commendation of all the people. Though
the Board of Public Instruction closed
up the schools more than two weeks
ago, and cut off the compensation,
they have gone right on with the
schools as though the authorities had
not given them orders TO "elose up"
These teachers are continuing the
schools in order that the children may
be prepared foz the next year, and in
order that the pupils may not forget
what they have already learned during
this term OF school. The work Of these
teachers is worth many thousands Of
dollars to jacksonville, and the patrons.
Citizens generally are making q siren
ious effort TO raise enough money during
this month to compensate them for at
least one months service.

W. M. WILLIS FOUND DEAD.
1t is Thought He Was Murdered For
Money.

The wires brought the news to
the family of W. NJ. Willis, at this
place on Friday, that his body had
been found in the woods some four
or five miles from Mena. 1t is
learned that Mr.. Willis was inspect
ing ties for the Hammond Signer
Tie Company, and it was while on
one of these trips that he was shot
by some one not known yet, or is
the motive surmised unless it was
for the purpose of robbing the body.
He leaves a wife and two sons, the
eldest boy being at work in the rail
road yards here.
Mr.. Willis was a brother-in-law
of W. A. Williams, who was the
former General Manager of the
Texarkana & Northern railroad and
also the X. G. 2. & G. road, and
Willis was Claim Agent under him,
When the road changed manage
ment Mr.. Willis resigned and went
with the company he was with when
he met his death.
Mr.. Willis was well thought of by
all and his death will not only be a
sad blow to his family but will be
regretted by all.
His son left on Friday to attend
to shipping the remains here tor
burial, and arrived here yesterday
evening at 3 o'clock with the same.
Mr.. ]. A. Jackson, deputy con-
stable, went up to accompany the
remains to the city. He tells us
that the body was not robbed as
the pockets contained $40 and a
gold watch. He said 20 or 80 men
we're out looking for the man whom
suspicion pointed QUIT as doing the
shooting.
The Messrs. Williams, one :frOm
Big Sandy and the other from Paris
brother-in.laws of deceased, came
in yesterday and were at the funeral,
OMr. Charlie Reeves was placed in
charge of the remains and the fun
eral. The remains were carried to
the family residence and from there
to Rose Hill Cemetery.
The entire community sympathize
with the family and relatives.
