TERMINATED HIS PAROLE.

Today Judge Fort made an order terminating the parole of Charles Nelson, who, at a prior term of the court, had been convicted and sen- fenced to the penitentiary for grand larceny. Under the parole law, de- fendant, convicted of certain crimes, if he is under the age of thirty years, may be released under bond to ap- pear at each term of the court and prove by responsible parties that he has conducted himself as a peaceful, law abiding citizen. After the time mentioned in the parole, if the de- fendant has proven good conduct, he is discharged.
 Nelson failed to appear at this term, and the court ordered the parole ter minated and the clerk was ordered to issue a warrant for his arrest, and the court ordered that when he is appre- hended the sheriff convey him to the penitentiary according to the judg- ment heretofore rendered in the case.
 This is the first order ever made in this county terminating parole.- Poplar Bluff Sentinel.

DR. WILSON'S LECTURE.

Dr. Wilson's lecture last night at the opera house on "America's Un- crowned Queen" was a marvel of beauty and power. Those that heard him were delighted; those that did not hear him missed rare treat. The people of Newport are beginning to see that the course offered is of the highest excellence; and it is hoped that the remaining entertainment will be more highly appreciated and bet ter attended. The Dixie Bells Con- cert Company will be the next at traction, and it should be patronized by hundreds of the music loving peo- pie of Newport.

PROFESSOR SKAGGS STUCK.
Verdict of Guilt Announced by Mayor
 L. c. Thompson.
Paragould SoliphOne.

Paragould Soliphone.
 Prof. w. L. Skaggs, city school su- perintendent, who was arraigned be- fore Mayor Thompson on the charge of assault and battery in warrant sworn out by Lennie Stamps, has been fined $500 and the costs.
 In discussing the matter, the mayor said that taking the affair as a whole he finds from the law that the whip ping administered to young Stamps by Professor Skaggs was excessive. Decisions from the supreme court hold that the physical condition and past department of a student must be taken into consideration; and, while the instructor, in administering pun- ishment by the use of the rod, may feel entirely sincere, cool and delib- crate, he may be subject to a fine by the court in a case where marks or bruises on the person of the pupil indicate excessive punishment, in the minds of reasonable men.

1t is d Limited Library of
 the Best People.

All the best people are desired as members-none other will be admitted. Also. 1t will not be able for us to offer membership in families in which there is consumption, etc, which might make It unsafe for other members. An un- prejudiced committee of your own peo- pie considers every application and reports, then an invitation is extended, the S2.0 paid and ticket issued.
 This is really an Arkansas library; better than present book clubs and associations for larger towns and offers at no greater expense the same kind of service to even the small villages. It will be offered you. Remember, "wait for us." This is our request--won't you grant 1t!

The employees of the Morning Stal Railroad on Tuesday afternoon took formal action in the way of legal steps toward compelling the road to pay their salaries now due for the past three months. Through Morris M Cohn of Little Rock and Yancev Reeder and Casey of Batesville, theil attorneys, laborer's lien was filed ir the chancery court of this county covering the mules, wagons and other personal property of the road togeth- CT with franchises and all right of ways thus far secured.
 The plaintiffs named in the petition are D. B. Scott ct al, who ask that a receiver be appointed to take charge of the property of the road, that this indebtedness may be liquidated.
 The papers to the suit were taken to Batesville Wednesday morning by MT. Cohn, one of the plaintiffs attor- neys. The case will be called up to- day, but no action will probably be taken until next week f4s J. M. Stay ton, attorney for the Morning Star is at present in Little Rock. The ease must finally be tried in the chancery court of this county, probably at the January term.
 Morris Cohn, in conversation with citizens here, averred here that this step would force the Morning Star to show its hand or throw up the sponge. If any trunk line is behind the new road, developments are expected to make known it's identity.
 On the other hand, many think there is Ia nigger in the bush" (to use an old expression) as regards this ac tion of the employees. It is a we'll known fact that in the commence ment of all roads little money is ad- vanced until final arrangements are completed and there is nothing strange that such should have been the case in this instance.
 For this reason and the additional one that the plaintiffs have chosen a very prominent Little Rock attorney to represent them, the opinion is given weight that some other road is behind the attachment proceedings The object is probably to discourage the Morning Star or else to bring about chance to purchase the 99 year franchise held by that road upon Remmel Avenue.

CONSCIENCE WON CONFESSION
Albert H. Rowe Stole Money From His Companion and Escaped But Remorse Made Him Surren-
 der, Confess His Guilt and
 Attempt Preparation.

Albert H. Rowe may thank. con science, nurtured in the right, that he is not confirmed criminal, but vio- lator of the moral and civil law. who has confessed his guilt and hopes to strengthen his character upon this downfall before temptation. The story Of his wrong doing and consequent penltence under the protests of a vigorous conscience, was told the re- porter for the INDEPENDENT by gen tleman of this city, whose name is by request withheld, yet the accuracy of whose statement the paper is willing to vouch for.
 During the past summer when pearl hunting was profitable business with many men upon the White and Black rivers, Albert H. Rowe and Zack w. Phillips formed a partnership in ply ing their industry, at which they were only moderately successful. They lived in a house boat and their rela- tions were mutually pleasant. As their acquaintance ripened, a feeling of trust and security in each other made them very cordial companions.
 Recently, while working on the bar near Minors farm, Phillips left the boat for a short trip and upon his re- turn found that he had been robbed by his companion of $227 in cash, who had betaken himself meanwhile to parts unknown. He was traced to this city, but no clue could be found of the direction taken from here. Phillips gave up the hunt and returned to his occupation, feeling that he had been the victim of mis- placed confidence.
 Rowe had experienced no trouble in making good his escape, but the conscience, which he had not consid- cred in stopping to the crime, refused to be quiet. For three days he wan dered aimlessly about, not being able to sleep, until his mind was almost distracted. On the evening of the seventh, his peculiar ac- tions and haunted appearance at tra cted the notice of Jonesboro at torney, whose curiosity was aroused. No sooner had he addressed the man. than the fellow unbosomed himself, cOnfessing his theft and asking that he, the lawyer, act as an agent in re- storing to Phillips what he still re- tained of the stolen money, S211.
 To this the Jonesboro man agreed, and on Tuesday came to this city and drove out to the point on the river where Phillips was pearling, where a settlement was made, which the latter declared to be perfectly satisfactory in the return of $15O with the promise that no prosecution of his defauIting partner would be made.
 Phillips broke down completely. when the money was returned and in tears begged the Jonesboro lawyer that he tell Rowe to come back and he would forgive him all and accept him again as partner in the business.
