No Shackles for Cunning.

The National Grocer company has been organized with a capitali- zation of $5, ,0O0, 900. The pur- pose of the concern is to gain con trol of the wholesale grocery hous- es in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Mis- souri, and Michigan. The new trust will begin operations Aug ust 1. Another indication that it may be necessary in the near fu- ture to shackle cunning as in the past we have shackled force. " And another demonstration, if 1t is really the shackler of cunning, is not working much at its trade these days Commoner.

HON. F. M. MARTIN
Makes a Statement in Regard to Certain Charges Against
 Big Bottom.
To the Editor of The Journal.

To the Editor of The Journal.
 I see in the Batesville Bee of the 23rd, an article headed, Reply to Martin" " in which stated that 1 was one of the judges in 1898. I still say that I was. He refers to the records for proof of his as- sertion, but l will say if the rec ords are as he says they are, they are absolutely wrong. The writer drifts from his first assertion when he said that the ballots of that election were not delivered. That is like the balance of his assertions; they are all without foundation. But there is great deal of preju- dice behind the whole matter.
 Now, the gentleman that an- swered my former letter said, af- ter he had give vent to his spleen, that we ought not to go so far back, we ought to prove some- thing about the last primary cleo tion. We are willing for the evi dence to be brought out and have asked for that. But when Mir. W s" OK was gored then 1t was,
 Hold on boys, we must stop, for I'll swear, it's all alike; we can't bring out the facts in regard to the primary, for it's all alike. and it won't do; we must saddle it of on Big Bottom and Uuion.'
 Please tell me why it is that be- cause our town is growing and township increasing in population, that it creates so much prejudice against us in the minds of & few men, and especially men who will write and are ashamed to sign their name to what they write.
 But you can find lots of men who are ready to kick only when their OK is gored, like Mir. "W,o or the writer of the article in the Bee.
 We are ready for MT. w" to get the facts and let the people know them just as they are. Come on wv" give them all to us from alpha to omega.
 Yours for fair play and honesty,

Would Act as Proxy.

According 10 newspaper report an old lady down in Cincinnati, Ohio, not particularly robust, was visited by a girl relative of eighteen, who, Tn a moment of exultant affection, grabbed the old lady in her arms and hugged her so bard that the old lady fell to the floor unconscious. Upon examination 1t was discovered that several of the old lady's ribs were broken, and she died soon afterwal ds.
 There's something extremely sad about this incident, and we don't know when we've read any thing that so filled us with regret regret that we weren't there. We could have taken the old lady's place and saved her life just as well as not. If this item should meet the eye of an old lady who is feareul of being gripped by some sweet l8-year-old grip pess and having her ribs caved in, like the one above, why just remember our address, please. We'll drop our work any time and come on and act as proxy. Distance won't cut any figure with us so long as the dear little assas- sln IS good looking and lively, anywhere between Portland aad San Francisco.

trial in Justice w. T. Martin s court today while Bob Sales was
 being tried for an assault on J. E.
 Cheny and a number of people
 were in the court room, four shots were heard at the front of the court house. When the court spectators rushed out they saw Joe Kidd, 6 big, burly negro, ly- ing on the ground, writhing in death. He was shot on the land ing of the high steps and fell to the ground. The pistol was fired by Frank A. Brewer, a law stud ent in the office of Smead & Pow ell. Mrs. Brewer has small store and the negao, Kidd, made an account and failed to pay. Brewer went to collect when the negro had the money. He refus- ed to pay and became abusive. Brewer went away. Kidd made threats. At the trial today the negro was the prosecuting wit ness. He was standing at the west door, talking when Brewer came to the door and something was said about the debt. The negro said he would not pay it, and, with an oath, showed his hand in his hip pocket. Brewer told him three times to take 1t out. He refused and Brewer fired four balls into him. The negro was a tough character, having intimidat- ed several white men, threatening to smash their heads and carve them up. The sheriff took a big, ugly knife, we'll ground, from the pocket in which Kidd had put his hand.

THE CLAYTON GANG
A Few Pertinent Facts in Regard to the Gang That Harry
 Myers Represents.

Inc OIaLe hepuDllcanS IS WOr- rying over what it takes to constl- tute Democrat, and says is don't know whether to jump on the Bryan kind or the Cleveland fol- lowers. We suggest that it spend the next few months in finding out what it takes to constitute an Arkansas republican and whether the Democrats here should fight the Meyers branch or the Greayes tribe. It is a matter or more local interest.
 The above item appeared in the late issue tf the Mammoth Spring Monitor, credited to the Rogers Democrat. We produce i: mere F that we might more intelligent ly answer. Right now it makes no difference to republicans what 1t takes to constitute a democrat, but if the State Republican hopes tn gain anything in this state for Powell Clayton's candidate for Governor, H H. Meyers, whom 1t endorses it would be wise to di- rect it's fight against Jefferson Jackson Bryan democrats as it is tfis ..kind" that has been Tn pow CT in this state since 1874 and 1t Is the same "kind" that stands ready to compare records with the Clay ton gang. A comparison of these records will certainly prove to any man and convince any man that more than all else 1t "takes" principle to constitute democrat aud this same comparison soon to be made by Jeff Davis will surely convince the editor of the State Republican that It took men with hell in them as large as our Mann moth Springs to make tue record which h story now gives to the credit of Clayton and the cut- throat gang that did his bidding from 1868 to 1874 It isa mys- tery to Us that any democrat should express doubt as to which factios of the republican party he should fight. Greaves and his followers have shown and proven by their acton in stepping out and away from Clayton and his kind that they deserve at least the kind respect of all right thinking men be they democrats or what not.

6 MURDERERS HANGED
Four Negroes and Two White Men Pay Death Penalty
 on the Gallows.

Last friday was hangman's day in Arkansas and six murderers paid the death penalty on the gal lows. Each hsnging was private. Four were negroes and two were white men.
 Dave McWhorter, who on Npy- ember 15, 1901, shot and kiEed his wife because she had left him aId would not consent to go back and live with him, paid the pena- lity with his life at Van Buren. McWhorter stated on the gallows that he was confident of his souls salvation and advised his hearers to profit by his misfortune. The trap was spring at 1919, he drop ped six and one-h half feet and was pronounced dead Tn IA minutes.
 Jim Kits, negro, was hanged at Arkansas City, at 1.45 p. m. Kits admitted his guilt on the scaffold, said he was prepared to die but was not sorry for his crime. A song was started and during the progress of the song Sheriff Preston sprang the trap. Kitts assasinated another negro i'll the latter's crap dive in Arkan- sas City November 13 last,
 Cy Tanner, colored, was hanged at Forrest City at 10.45 for the deliberate murder of Robert Black, also colored, over a debt of 9 cents claimed to have been due Tanner from Black. He walked to the scaffold as erect as a man going to the dinning table, made short talk, sang song then bid good bye to all and volun- tarily took his position upon tn e trap. This is the first legal exe- cution Tn Forrest City since 1879.
 At Washington, Dee Noland and Tom Simms, both colored, paid the death penalty for atro- cious crimes. Simms shot and killed Nancy and Tobitha Setton, both colored, in November 1901. Dee Noland killed his wife by choking her to death. The evil dence against him was circum- statidl, but he finally confessed his guilt. Both ate d hearty breakfast at 4 and at 6.16 the sheriff sprane the trigger that sent them into eternity.
 Lathe Hambre was executed at Center Point at 10 o'clock for the murder of w. NJ. Willis. Willis was a tie inspector and the mur- der was committed March ?, 1900, for the purpose of robbery.

LIFE ON A BATTLESHIP
It is Not a Picnic by any Means and Has Few Allurments
 For Average Man.

Life on battleship is no holi- day excursion" said an old mari ner who knows a thing or two about guns and things of that sort, to the New Orleans Times Demo crat, "and the young man who would pick out his knid of a life with the idea that it would be one grand, sweet round of pleasure would miss the mark.
 No doubt there are many young men who are extremely anxious to be aboard one of these big battle ships when the guns unlimber, but l am inclined to think that just one experience would be enough for the average young man. Now, 1 do not belong to this branch of Uncle Sam's fighting force, but my experience has taught me many things while at sea, and 1 know something about these big guns. Take these 13- inch guns now in use on the big battleships. When these guns are fired there is something going on. 1t is awful. No man can stand to be near them without an appeal to protection of some sort. In the first place, the men are forced to fit their ears with cotton. One young gentleman from Annapolis failed to do this on one occasion, and he has not been able to hear anything since. The mere fact that the gun decks are bolted down ought to give some idea of the amount of force involved in the discharge of one of these guns. The stuffing of the ears with cot ton Is absolutely necessary. The discharge of a 13-inch gun creates a tremendous vacuum. It literally pulls all the air out of the ears of men who are close to the gun.  Here is where the danger come in. The reactionary force Is something terrific, and unless the ear is pro- tected by the use of cotton the air would rush back into the ear with such force that the drum would be in danger of serious and perman- ent injury. The drum of the ear could not stand the quick but viol- ent return of the air. Hence the use of cotton has been resorted to while firing these big guns. There IS an instance on record where the rushing of the air into the vacuum casued by the discharge of one of these guns was so forceful that it broke the lock of 6 door near by, which had been carelessly left closed-for the men usually take the precaution to open the doors on occasion of this kind. Stand ing near a 13-inch gun when in operation would cure the naval ambition of many young men, l am sure, and it would probably convince men who are much older in the ways of the world that the men who represent the sea-fght- ing force of the United States gov ernment have no easy time. ]"

Yet It Is Not a Trust.
