SHARP COUNTY
 WANTS ROCK ISLAND.

l Judge John B. McCaleb of Evening
 Shade, Sharp county, was in Little
 Rock Wednesday says the Gazette.
 He is attending the grand lodge.
 Judge McCaleb is one of the most ex-
 perienced judges in the state. He has just retired from the bench of the
 Sixteenth judicial. circuit, after hold ing the position for ten or eleven consecutive years. He was persist emily urged to run in the last election, but declined q believe some young CT man ought to be given a chance, 7 said Judge McCaleb. Rotation in office should be observed. have been considering the advisability of retiring for several years. do not intend to retire from public life en- tirely, though am not at present a candidate for any position.u
 Judge McCaleb says that the people of Sharp county are eagerly waiting for developments in the proposed Rock Island Railroad from Jackson port, near Newport. This will give them connection, by running north west through Arkansas beyond West Plains, Mo, to the Kansas City, Fort Scott and Memphis. with the Missouri branches of the system. They will then be able to make a direct run through Arkansas to the south. The ultimate construction of the road is deemed a certainty. The surveying parties came directly through Evening Shade. There were two of these. One started from up in Missouri and the other from Jacksonport. They met just this side of the Missouri line. It means great development for our section when the railroad is built, and naturally the farmers, merchants, business men-in fact, everybody
 are anxiously awaiting any develop ments that may come.n

A SURPRISE WEDDING

In the year that is almost ended, there have been so many elaborate church weddings to occupy the atten tion and conversation of Newport society that a bit of variety and q break in the sameness must surely be welcomed in the news of surprise wedding, which took place Wednes- day evening.
 The parties to the affair were Mir Anthony T. Hubby and Miss Johnnie Lindley of this city, who stole march on all but few of their friends and at 8:30 o'clock that evening repaired to the home of Mir. and Mrs Wm. Bailey, where they were quietly married in the presence of a few friends and the family, by Rev L. H. Richardson, who said very sweet and impressive service.
 The newly wed went that evening to the home of MT and Mrs. E. D. Bracy, where they have begun house keeping. The g9oom came here two years ago from his home in Chats worth, Illinois, first as stenographer at the Pond & Decker Lumber Com- pany and later assumed the manage ment of the laundry for Mir. Decker. Just recently, he purchased half interest in the establishment of E. D. Bracy. He has proven himself an energetic and responsible young busi ness man of ability and has made many friends during his short stay here, who will join with the INDE- PENDENT in congratulating him upon having won so lovable and sweet dis positioned young lady for his help meet in life. We hope that life's choicest blessings may be showered richly upon their welded life.

SELLING HIS STOCK.

By reference to another column, it will be noted that MT. John O. Hayes is closing out his stock of goods in- tending to retire from business here. Whether he will continue to make Newport his home has not yet been decided, though he expects to leave.
 He is wide awake and progressive merchant, whose trade and friends will be sorry to learn this news. He has been an appreciated friend of this paper and we hope that success may attend him wherever he goes.

THE PRESIDENTS BEAR HUNT

Ft. Smith Times:
 The difference between American and European ideas of sportsman ship has been strikingly illustrated the past week. In France the king of Portugal and in England the Emperor of Germany has been the central figure of hunt. In both instances the
 'game" was half tanned pheasants artificially reared and preserved in parks. The attendants rig themselves out in masquerade costumes of velvet and lace and ostrich plumes and the sportsmen stand in the open while the game is flushed by the hundreds by the keepers. Thus the emperor slaughtered hundreds of birds while three men were kept busy loading his several guns, and similar scenes were enacted for the benefit of the Portu- guese king.
 Compare this enervated form of sssporto with the bear hunt of Presi- dent Roosevelt. He goes into the Mississippi swamps where the cane is so thick and tangled that no one can penetrate it except on horseback and then, as an experienced hunter des- cribes it, one is lucky if his clothes hold together when he comes out of it. Compare also the nature of the game, half tanned pheasant in beautifully kept park and black bear that will fight man or dog when brought to bay, and that quick eye, a steady hand, courage and self pos session are required, not only to bag the game but to avoid personal in jury.
 ] And yet European trade centers wonder why America is forging to the front and European diplomatic cen ters vainly protest against the increase of American influence in world affairs. The sports of people indicate their national characteristics.

GREATER THAN GREAT.
The Coming Allentown Eair to Be
Held September % to 26.

The great Allentown fair will be held
for four days, from September 90 to 90,
and from present indications will be
one of the greatest exhibitions in the
history of the society. 1t Is, without
question. in the front rank of the best
and largest agricultural and industrial
exhibitions in the country. 1t is an
nually visited by thousands of people
who repeat their visits regularly, and
there is no county, state, Pan-Ameri-
can or Worlds exhibition held any
where that can boast of such large
crowds as are seen yearly at the great
Allentown fair" It's popularity is world
wide, not only as an exhibition for the
farmer and mechanic, the merchant
and housekeeper, but also for the horse
man and all lovers of sport.
The races this year will number fif-
teen for the week and will be most ex-
citing and hotly contested as there will
be more than $4,000 paid for speed
alone, besides large amount for premi-
ums and exhibits.
All the railroads will run excursions
and sell excursion tickets at greatly re-
duced prices good for the whole week,
and daily special excursions will be run
from all points. 1t certainly will be the
place to go for all those who want to
see the greatest fair in the country.

AN UNHAPPY COUPLE,
One Sought Recreant Husband and
the Other a Wife Who
Was Ditto.

The well-dressed man and woman
who came into the Office of Superin-
tendent of Police Day yesterday after
noon, seemed to be very much embar-
rassed about something. They said
they wanted the superintendent as
sistance in a little matter but each
seemed to want the other to begin the
story.
You see," said the man, I'm looking
for my wife. No, this lady isn't my
wife. shes-well. you see, she's in the
same fix I'm in. She's looking for her
husband. The two Of them ran off to-
gether last Tuesday, and we can't find
they've gone, and thought you might
children to look after and she's got
some, too, only she's worse off, because
there's no one to support hers"
The superintendent became interested
at once, and learned that the mans
name was Norman Z. Anderson, of 621
Deity avenue, and that the woman
with him was Mrs. Harry Smith. of 627
Deity avenue, near neighbor. Ander-
son said that up till Tuesday he knew
nothing of Smiths fondness for his
noticed for some time that her hus-
bands affections were not centered on
herself alone.
The pair left their respective homes
on Tuesday. Smith, who is miner,
left home presumably to go to the GEN.
trail city, while Mrs. Anderson folded
her tent and silently slipped away while
her husband, who is a teamster, was at
work.
Mrs. Anderson is a musician of some
little skill and has composed num-
ber of selections which have had quite
a sale. Her husband says that he thinks
she took about 5000 of her own money
with her. AS far as is known, Smith
had very little ready cash. The latter
leaves seven young children behind
him. Both are 3S years old.
Superintendent Day heard the stories
Of the deserted husband and wife, and
promised to do all in his power to as
sist them. They left the building to-
gether, finding some degree of satisfac-
ton in each others misfortune, as do
all companions in misery.

the strike is and for sonic time is likely
to be Of paramount interest in these
parts, 1t was judged best to defer the
coming of the Pattison party until the
latest possible time. No definite date
was set. but 1t was agreed that the

THE FIGHTS DISCUSSED.
The senatorial and legislative fights
were discussed with particular atten-
tion bestowed upon the Democratic
muddle in the Fourth legislative dis
trict.
Chairman Greasy had no prediction
fireworks to set off He evaded the sub
ject of strike as "a delicate question,
at this time" and on the general situ-
alton would only say that the outlook
was most favorable.
Mr.. Greasy and Colonel Sweeney leave
for Harrisburg this morning.
Attorney George Howell, who is
spoken of as a possible candidate for
congress, had a private interview of
some length with Chairman Greasy be-
fore the general conference began.
What was discussed at the conference,
of course, is only conjectural, but one
of the Democratic leaders stated after
the conference, last night, that Mr..
Howell was now disposed to favorably
consider an invitation to run. Mr..
Howell, himself, was non-committal.
Richard j. Bourke and John B. Jor-
dan, the Republican candidates for the
senatorial nomination, are to meet this
morning with District Chairman E. P.
Kingsbury to arrange for holding the
primaries and convention. The meet
ing is to take place at o'clock this
morning. Hon. John Z. Barrett has
been spoken of as a possible candidate
for the senatorial nomination, but up
to date has made no announcement Of
his candidacy.
S. B. Price is once more discussed as
a Democratic candidate for congress.
Mr.. Price has repeatedly declined to
allow his name to be used in this con-
nection, and now, more than ever will
in all probability persist in this decli-
nation.
