DIRECTORATE ELECTED.

At the meeting Wednesday of the stockholders of the Morning Star Rail- way Company, at their general offices in this city, called for the purpose of electing seven directors, the following were chosen: c. H. Jackson, c. S. Jackson, Samuel Russell, New York :; V. Y. Cook, Elmo; L. Minor, Joseph M. Stayton and John w. Stayton.
 Little other business was transacted and nothing further that could be given out. The directors elected will meet Friday at the company's offices in this city.
 MT. E. D. Chadick, the chief pro- moter of the road is expected here some time this week and active work is expected to commence not later than August first. T. D. Kinman Jr. who has charge of the general offices here has been kept busy the past week, se- curing options on the land, which will be needed for right way and ter minal facilities here i'll Newport, but has about completed this line of work.
 Prospects are apparently very fa- vorable for the construction of the Morning Star and the confidence of the local men who are in a position to know most about the finances behind the enterprise remain as positive as ever that the future will vindicate and fulfill their predictions and promises.

court, which gives Ritter term in the pen, was by the higher court af- firmed, and so MT. Ritter goes to the pen. His attorney says that it is likely that a motion for new hearing will be made, and if made will no doubt be granted.
 "But it is not likely that this will do any good except to keep Ritter out of the pen during the hot months. He has contested every inch of ground in his favor and has been represented by the very ablest counsel, and at every trial the preponderence of the evidence has been against him. He has fought long losing game, as all men must eventually do who do not handle with care the money of other people"

CONVENTION IN TURMOIL.

Wynne, June 18.-Pandemonium reigned supreme in the congressional convention for one hour this afternoon and it looked for time as if serious trouble would occur among the dele gates from Mississippi county, with Jno. B. and w. J. Driver and w. B. Calhoun on one side and J. w. Rhodes, John Lowell, nominee for sheriff of that county, and J. L. Cas- ton on the other.
 Mississippi has cast its vote solidly for Macon since the first ballot, but it was generally known that the Drivers and Calhoun were personally for Tay- Tor, and it has been whispered that they would break away from Macon in due time and cast three of Missis- sippi's six votes for Taylor. The break came this afternoon on the 569th ballot. On the previous thirty or forty ballots Macon was within one vote of the nomination and the Ma con forces were delirious with joy at having the plum so nearly within their grasp and were momentarily expect ing the one vote lacking. When the vote on the 569th ballet was called and Mississippi county was reached John B. Driver addressed the chair and cast three votes for Judge Taylor. This precipitated storm that lasted for one hour.

ERE AFTER SOUTHERN OUTLET.

Newman Erb, president of the St. Louis, Memphis & Southeastern rail- road, according to the Commercial Appeal, is negotiating for the pur- chase of the Memphis, Arkansas & Texas Railroad Company's right of way and all it's appurtenances from Memphis to Shreveport, La, dis tance of over 300 miles.
 MT. Erb's attorney and representa- tive in Memphis recently received telegraph instructions from him to confer with the Memphis, Arkansas X Texas stockholders and advise him the lowest price at which the property could be acquired. His attorney has had various conferences with the stockholders of the Memphis, Arkan- sas & Texas, who meet in West Mem phis next Saturday afternoon. No in dividual stockholder could give definite option, but several of the stockholders are assisting in engi- neering the deal.

Roger A. Suit, formerly of Little Rock, but for the six months prior to May 20, a resident of Newport, has been arrested at Memphis charged with forgery and attempting to pass forged paper. The officers caught him with bogus check in his possess ion and in offering explanations he made number of inconsistent and contradictory statements.
 The arrested man is an abstractor of ability and experience, having been in the employ of c. R. Hite dur ing the winter months and later worked for Stuckey & Stuckey in the same capacity. On May 24, he went to Swifton for the purpose of attend ing to some collections for this paper together with other business and was never heard from again. He is known to have taken the train north and was registered few days later at the Commercial hotel in Paragould. While in Swifton he secured $5 from R. P. Sharp upon his own check on the Bank of Newport, which proved to be worthless.
 The Memphis Commercial Appeal tells the following story of his capture in that city upon Tuesday:
 "On June 10, Suit came to Mem phis and registered at Braun's hotel, at the corner of Washington and Main streets. He. has been stopping there off and on ever since. Tuesday morning he walked into the office of the hotel, which is also the barroom, and tried to get check for $10 cashed. It was made payable to R. A. Suit and signed M. Gavin & Co.,, with the en- dorsement of the payee on the back. The handwriting varied as between the endorsement and the face of the check. Braun notified the officers and Sergeants Cole and Saint inn mediately placed Suit under arrest.
 "On his person lot of papers were found, including several blank checks of the First National Bank. The bo- gus check, which was found in his possession was drawn on this bank. He also had letters from the Bloeser Distilling Go. of St. Louis, indicating that he had been travelling for that concern.
 "Suit says that he has been drink ing hard and offers no other excuse for trying to have the worthless check cashed. He represented him. self to MT. Braun as having large busi- ness dealings with M. Gavin & Co.,, but he is not known by that firm.
 Suit is about 45 years old, low of stature and has short gray hair. His eyes are gray and restless, and one is slightly squinted."
 Suit is an ex- convict who was sen- fenced to the penitentiary for two years from Jefferson county, having been convicted in September 1899, but was pardoned by Governor Davis on April 13, 1901.

FRIGHTENED BY A MOB.

A posse of men, whose names are not known, went to Jailor Thomas Tuesday night, and by force took his keys, unlocked the jail doors, liberat- ed John Pettey, colored, took him north of town and horse whipped him, put a rope about his neck, shot pistols over his head and otherwise terror ized him. After having thus punished him he was turned loose and warned to shake the dust of Searcy from his feet and never come back again. Pettey has been a bad negro in a small way, for long time, but it is presumed the proceedings Tuesday night were due to his conduct in re- sist ! an officer that day.-Searcy Citizen.

SKULL BONE REMOVED.

The white man, who was found Tuesday morning near the Choctaw depot with badly fractured skull, has been identified as Robert High, who worked for Joe Runyan upon the Minor farm. His condition is regard ed as very serious, with chances about even for life and death. He was re- moved to the jail where he now rests upon cot, as comfortable as circum- stances will permit. On Wednesday afternoon he underwent an operation. portions of his skull bone being re- moved.
 The patient still refuses to talk, though he is conscious and apparently in his right mind. It is thought that he must have been slugged across the head to have produced such injuries.
