NEWARK NEWS.
Culled From the Columns of
 The Journal.

Will MendenhaIl came up from Newport Monday to spend few days with home folks.
 Who would have thought it? Our town of nearly one thousand inhabit- ants has no Joneses, Smiths or Browns and only one foreigner. Beat this for an all round home town if you can. The contract for rebuilding the business houses recently destroyed by fire has been let to D. L. Hopkins, of Judsonia, and the work of tearing down the old walls was commenced Tuesday. The work of rebuilding will be pushed as rapidly as possible and the buildings will probably be ready for occupancy some time in August or by the first, of September at the latest.
 With six business houses, two story hotel and bank building under course of construction and all being built of brick, it can't be said that business is dull in Newark. In fact, good, substantial business houses are fast taking the place of the former wooden structures in the business part of town, which is the very best of evidence that Newark is a safe place to invest money. Tn our opin- ion there is not better town in
 North Arkansas, nor a town in the
 whole state that has brighter future than Newark.

SUSPECTS DISCHARGED.
Greenstreet and Teis Prove Them selves Innocent of Purloining
 Pearls From Black Rock Express Office.

Tom c. Greenstreet, the well-known colored train porter, who has been running between Springfield and Memphis for thirteen years, and Hen- ry Teis, a white man, resident of Black Rock, Ark, were arrested here yesterday morning by officers Scott, Mckee and Wright, on the charge of stealing pearls from the Southern Ex- press office at Black Rock, says the | Springfield Leader-Democrat. The 1 information an which the arrests were made was sent to Marshal Gideon by the Black Rock office. The colored l porter had been seen with a box of pearls and Teis, the white man, was with Greenstreet.
 Yesterday Capt. c. w. Agee, the Southern Express man who took an active part in the prosecution of Jack Kennedy and his band of Malcomb train robbers, and w. M. Corley, the owner of the lost pearls came to the city to look into the case against the prisoners.
 This morning Greenstreet and Teis were brought into police court and Marshal Gideon showed Corley the box of pearls They were white globes about the size of buckshot nestled in pill box filled with cotton. The poor man shook his head as soon as he opened the box and said: "These are not mine, I can't claim one of them" That settled the question of the innocence of the prisoners so far as Judge Burks had jurisdiction in the case, and Greenstreet and Teis were discharged.
 1 The train porter had said all the time that he got his pearls from w c. Cookse :, of Hardy, Ark, and that he would have no tronble in proving himself innocent of the charge.
 w. M. Corley. the Black, Rock deal CT, lost his box of gems week ago last Saturday right. They were stolen from the express office at Black Rock. The pearls had been shipped to Charles A. Webber of New York for examination and returned to the owner because the price was not satis. factory. The pearls were worth $450 or about $44 apiece.
 The Black River pearls range ir value from 1Oc apiece up to $4,000
 Not every mussel fished out of the river has a pearl in it, of course, ol everybody would get rich. Mir. Cor ley says that about one shell in 2 thousand on an average. contains s pearl. Pearl fishing on Black river began about five years ago, and many persons have made fortunes in the business.
 The empty shells are worth $1O g ton at the button factory in Black Rock.

s SAME MESSAGE SERVED.
Telegram Once Received By Greaves Is Repeated To Remmel Under
 Similar Circumstances.

An interesting political story has just leaked out that is particularly ap- ,propriate at this time. When the contest was on some time ago for the appointment of district judge for the eastern district of Arkansas, made va cant by the elevation of Jacob Trieber to the bench, Col. w. G. Whipple of Little Rock and c. D. Greaves of Hot Springs, were the leading applicants for the place. Hon. H. L. Remmel, as chairman of the state central com mittee, went to Canton, O., to pre- sent direct to the president the ap- plication and endorsements of Col. Whipple for the place. Mir. Greaves had intended to go at the same time and present his endorsements to the now martyred Mckinley, but sudden illness in his family prevented his go- ing. Knowing that MT. Remmel was there and might steal march on him he wired to MT. Remmel requesting him to hold up, a few days on the pT6SlQGuJ. AS tnO 5UOAJ S1Oo A'AA- Remmel put the telegram in his pocket and forgot it until he had the appointment ot Col. Whipple safely made. Then he wired to MT. Greaves:
 'sRegret that there are not enough offices to go around"
 MT. Greaves loyaIly swallowed his disappointment, but he retained the telegram and the memory of the cir cumstances under which it was re- ceived.
 And he bided his time.
 Finally, after long and bitter con- test conducted by the insurgent lead- CTS, one of whom was MT. Greaves, MT. Remmel resigned from the office of internal revenue collector, and Captain F. w. Tucker had been con firmed, Mr. Greaves resurrected something from the dusty pigeon holes of his desk, wrote a letter to MT. Remmel, and when that gentle man opened the missive he. found n it only 8 yellow telegraph blank on which were the words:
 "Regret that there are not enough offices to go around"

organization of company to drag the Ouachita river for mussels. The first process will be to search them for pearls. These valuable jewels are found quite frequently in the mussels from mountain streams. Then the shells will be brought to the city, run through crushers, and sold for paving purposes. This latter industry would pay the expenses of getting the shells, while any pearls that might be found would make handsome profit. Be- sides it is fact that the finest butt tons are made from these shells, and factories would likely buy the output in whole from the pearl hunters"

A UNIQUE SENTENCE.

In sentencing a prisoner in the po- lice court at Fort Smith, Judge Freer said: "I know you Brady. I want you all to come to Fort Smith and have a good time. We want you to spend your money. Money is the root of all evil, but if you are always good you will be awfully lonesome, as my talented friend, Mark Twain, has had occasion to remark. While I extend to you an invitation to join us in any decent degree of happiness, you must not have any disorderly side dishes. The invitation does not give you the right to ride roughshod over anybody. I know you by repu- tation, and your reputation is not a recommendation worthy of note, by any means. am going to jolt you to the extent of thirty days. You will probably have to cough real hard to bring up the amount needed. You will find the jail colony not so very select, but if you act properly you can become very popular therein and pass the time without winding up with hand decorated eye or stiffened joints."

EXPANSION OF INDUSTRY .l

A Hot Springs writer says that, ''the fact that mussel shells are so valuable in making streets, and the additional fact that often in mussels are found very valuable pearls, and the fact that in the Ouachita river these shells can be gathered by the wagon load, is likely to be the cause of new industries to spring up here.

HELD UP AND ROBBED.
A Temple Newspaper Man Re
leived of $50 and Several
Drafts.

Arthur L. Walker, mayor Of
Temple, o. t.. and editor of the

footpads and relieved of $50 in

hour last night.
Mr.. Walker was on his way to
Waco, Texas, to visit friends, and
had just arrived IN the city on

strolling about the streets he met
an acquaintance, aud to pass the
time they decided to take a walk
over the city until train time. II
was while they we're taking in the
town that they were suddenly con-
fronted by two men, who pointed
revolvers at their heads and re-
quested them to dIsgorge. This
they proceeded to do, being assisted
in the operation by the robbers,
who searched three times before
discovering Walke,'s e "roll." The
latter's companion also lost some
small change, but no great amount.
Walker asked the footpads to
return the drafts, but they kept
them for the time being, throwing
them away when they ascertained
they could net realize on them
Walker sfterward went back to
the spot with an officer and recov-
cred them after a short search.
Walker reported the matter TO
the police, who are searchiOg for
the footpads.
