DESIRE CHANGE
 IN TRAIN SCHEDULE.

John w. Wallace is interesting him self ill behalf of the mercantile inter- ests of Newport in securing the sig natures of the business men to a pe- tition to the Choctaw officials, asking ing a change of time in the arrival and departure of the branch passen- ger train, that will not prove inimical to our trade interests. AS the train now runs, the farmers of the Au- vergne, Weldon, Tupelo country can not come to this market by rail with out spending the night.
 It is desired that the passenger shall run out of Brinkley each morn ing to Newport, returning in the afternoon. While this would compel Conductor Gus Martin and family to make their home at Brinkley and thus lose us popular and valued citizen and estimable family, the merchants feel that the way the train is at pres ent run, loses us much trade.
 The petitioners promise in the event the change is made they will give one half of their freight business to the Choctaw Railroad. Judge J. w. Phillips will probably be selected to carry the matter before the road officials.

WRECK ON CHOCTAW.

Monday morning about o'clock the engine of Choctaw freight train No. 88, while near Round Pond, elev- en miles east of Forrest City, struck COW and was derailed, causing the instant death of the fireman, Charles GilliIand, who was crushed into a shapeless mass under the wreckage. The body was not found for several hours. Gilliland was a young man who bore a splendid reputation. He made his home in North Little Rock, and it is understood he was soon to have been married to popular young lady. His remains will be inferred at Wynne today. A committee of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Bremen left last evening to attend the flu neral.
 Engineer Sid Moore was badly scalded, but will recover.
 The accident caused a delay in traffic on the Choctaw east of this city, the fast mail and passenger train due here from Memphis at p. m. not arriving until 2:15. It ran out of Memphis on the Iron Mountain tracks to Fair Oaks, thence south on the Cotton Belt to Brinkley, where it took the ChOctaW track west.

CHRYSTAL WEDDING
ANNOUNCED.

Invitations are out to the chrystal wedding of MT. and Mrs. Lancelot Minor at the residence No. 923 Third Street. Mr. and Mrs. Minor were married on the sixth of July 1887 and the invitations would commemorate the event upon this day, which hap pens this year to fall upon Sunday. And as such an anniversary affair could not be solemnized in strict keeping of the Sabbath, the date has been changed to the evening of Sat urday, July 5, from to II p. m.
 The INDEPENDENT congratulates the bride and groom of almost fifteen years upon their retention of youth fulness in both appearance and spirit for "woman is neither older than she looks nor man older than he seems.'' We hope and feel confident in the prediction that the hale and gallant colonel and his excellent wife may live to invite their friends to further anniversaries of their wedding.

Among the Presbyterian ministers who were presented to President Roosevelt when he was in New York recently was one who bears the bur den of an overweening sense of duty, and is won't to 'srebuke in season and out of season"- mostly out of season. "I regret" said the preacher, "to see that the administration countenanced the use of liquor in the governors palace at Havana" "But I am glad to see," said the President deftly changing the subject, "that the gen. eral assembly is discountenancing the use of birthstone. ."-K.

LOST BOY LOCATED.

w. M. Gregg on Friday received a communication from J. w. Spencer of Pensacola, Florida, thanking him for his kindness in the search for his son, and stating that the lost young man had been found in St. Louis, sick and unable to write home.
 He was supposed to have come here from Hoxie on his way to Batesville. but since he was found in St. Louis, it is probable that he never saw New port.

A veritable gale was blowing Sat urday afternoon from the southwest which swayed the court house tower far from it's bearings. But after each gust, the old tower, which is made ot woodwork resumed it's position.
 Large crowds gathered nearby thinking the tower would tumble nearly levery minute. The offices were vacated as was also the res idence of Ed Phillips across the street.

WILLIAM l.. MCDONALD.

On the early morning of his forty fourth birthday, Friday, June 27, 1902, William L. Mcdonald died at his home on the corner of Hazel and Fifth Streets from an attack of apoplexy. His death was sudden, as he had ap- parently been enjoying good health and has prostrated his family with al most unbearable grief.
 Thursday noon the deceased com plained of not feeling very well, but with several other families continued to make preparations for spending the morrow pearling down on the river. That afternoon, which was a very warm one, the government ther- mometer registering 98 degrees, MT. Mcdonald cut the grass in the yard with lawn mower, and it was prob ably this violent exercise which brought on the stroke of apoplexy.
 That night, he retired about 9:30 o'clock, making him pallet in the dining room. Shortly after midnight his wife was awakened by his heavy breathing and upon going to him, found his body limp. Others were awakened, the doctor sent for and every possible effort made to revive him, but to no avail. The attending physician thinks that he probably ex- pired immediately after the heavy breathing, as apoplexy cuts the thread of life in one fell blow.
 The deceased was the son of the late Lavator B. and Mrs. A. H Mc- donald, and was born near Weldon June 27, 1858, where most of his life was spent until about seventeen years ago when he moved to Newport.
 He had the benefit of a splendid education received at Emery Henry college, Virginia and was married in 1886 to Miss Cora Conner, at that time living near Augusta. His wife and one child survive him, to whom in the depth of this grief, the sympathy of a host of friends is extended as an Of fering of their love to help bear the burden of their sorrow.
 The deceased was member of the local chapter of Odd Fellows and his genial temperament made him com panionable and attentive in his cour- tesies and kindnesses to others. No husband and father ever won truer devotion from wife and son, who have lost in his demise much of the sun light of their lives
 The funeral services were held at the residence at five o'clock this Fri day, conducted by Rev. J. w. Smith.
 The pallbearers at the funeral of the late w. L. Mcdonald were broth CT Odd Fellows: Gustave Jones, M. M Stuckey, Park Deaderick, o. w. Scarborough, J. M. Hobgood and J. G Walker. A large number of the friends of the deceased and family accompanied the remains to Weldon where they were laid to rest in the Mcdonald graveyard.

We had occasion a few days ago to refer to the ignorant nneddling of a
 few obscure territor- THE ial papers in the af- WHOLESOME fairs of Maricopa MAXWELL. county, in the matter
 of the pending bill to enable the county to determine by vote of it's taxpayers whether or not the county's bonds shall be issued for the construction of a reservoir, and it was pointed out that entirely aside from the question Of the bills merits, it is a subject which concerns nobody but the people of Maricopa county. The citi zens here are fully competent to decide for themselves whether it is to their interest to incur the proposed indebted ness, and non-residents are in no sense concerned. It cannot possibly be any of their business. We are therefore surprised to find the Los Angeles Times giving it's editorial space to oficious meddling in this purely local matter. Under the caption of Water Grabbers
 
 i've attack on the proposition, and incl dentally exposes it's ignorance of the situation.
 We take it that the Times article was written by the pestiferous George Maxwell, as that individual appears to have access to the columns of our Los Angeles contemporary whenever he chooses to exploit some feature of his national irrigation" graft. It will be remembered that some time ago we warned the people of the Salt River valley that they must expect the oppo sition of Maxwell and his dupes against any efforts to obtain a reservoir for this valley, except upon the visionary and impractical lines of 9 national ap- propriation-a contingency so absurd and out of the question as not to be worth consideration. The more or less open opposition Of the Maxwell crowd at Washington was to be expected, but it is somewhat strange that the Times should consider it part of it's business to interfere in the affairs of this com munity. The Times article is vicious ly misleading. The alleged water grabbers are the people Of Maricopa county. Throughout the article bears the earmarks of the sophistry and dis honesty which characterize MaXwell's arguments. Says the Times:
 The man who controls the water might as well, to all intents and pur- poses, own the land also. Recognizing this fact, many grasping and greedy individuals have been quietly working for some time past, in various sections of the arid country, to obtain control Of valuable water supplies which would give them command of the situation and place them in a position to charge the owners of thirsty land all the traffic will bear.'
 One of the most daring and apparent ly indefensible projects of this kind has come to the front in the shape of an act recently introduced in congress, en- titled "A Bill Authorizing the County of Maricopa, Territory of Arizona, to Issue Bonds for the Construction of Reservoirs and Dams for Water Stor-
