JUMPED THROUGH FLAMES.
Cotton Plant Merchant Narrowly Es- capes From His Burning Store At
 Becton.

Cotton Plant, Ark, April 6.-News over the long distance phone reached here from Becton that R. D. Bowen, a prominent Cotton Plant merchant, lost bis store and everything in it by fire Saturday night about 1 o'clock, The loss was $2,O00, with no insur- ance. This is the second timo this year that MT. Bowen was burned out. Last September he lost his store at Cotton Plant and then he bought a frame house at Becton and went into the grocery and dry goods business again. MT. Bowen roomed over his store and when he discovered the fire it was in the room. He at once ran to his room door to escape and und it to be fastened from the outside. He was forced to jump through the frame of window in his night clothing. After he jumped he found himself with sprained knee, but managed to get around to the front door, and there he saw his front door open. It is thought the sto9e was robbed and then set on fire.

CONSOLIDATED WHOLE
 SALE COMPANY
Newport Grocer Company Succeeds Anderson Grocer Com pany Through Agreement Reached Monday By Stockholders
 of Concern.

The wholesale grocery house, in- corporated the first of the year as the Anderson Grocer Company is to be succeeded in the near future by the Newport Grocer Company. Such an agreement was entered into by the stockholders of the new corporation at meeting held in this city Monday afternoon.
 For some time, it has been known that the organization and establish nent of third wholesale house for Newport was underway, but the in- tentions of the promoters of this en- terprise were turned aside from their original course and the res lit is con- s9lidation of the interests of the pro- posed company with those of one of the old companies, the Anderson Grocer Company.
 The purchase price of the stock and business of the latter firm has been agreed upon. The transfer will be made to the Newport Grocer Company as soon as sincorporated, probably about the fifteenth of this month.
 The consolidated company will have a capital stock of $1O0,O00, 80 per cent of which is to be paid up. The stock holders about fifty in number, whose names are not yet to be given publici- ty, embrace large number of retail merchants within what may be termed Newport's distributing territory.
 The officers elected are: A. G. An derson, president; B. B. Bond, vice. presidents; o. s. Lawrence, secretary 1; Jas. W. Grubbs, treasurer, all of whom are members of the directorate, to- gether with Nathan Graham of Tuck erman; J. F. Gardner of Snapp; R. R. James of Cotton Plant; R. K. Fitzhugh of Fitzhugh; M. D. Campbell of Tupe- To; (. M. Edwards of Newark and J. w. Lindley of Tuckerman.
 A second meeting of the directors will be held next Wednesday, at which time definite plans will be outlined for the management of the company. Several additional men will probably be placed upon the road and Messrs. 4. G. Anderson and O. S. Lawrence will have charge of the office and business here.
 The names of the gentlemen inter- ested in and managing the new cor poration are sufficient guarantee Of a bright and successful future.

ing your wonderful Swamp Root l began
to feel better.
I was out of health and run down gen
orally; had no appetite, was dizzy and
suffered with headache most of the time.
I did not know that my kidneys were the
cause of my trouble, but somehow felt
they might be, and began taking Swamp
Root, as above stated. There is such a
pleasant taste to Swamp Root, and it
goes right to the spot and drives disease
out of the system. 1t has cured me, and
l cheerfully recommend it to all sufferers.
Gratefully yours,
MRS. A L. WALKER,
46 West Linden ST., Atlanta, Ga.
Are you as well, strong and vigorous
as you used to be? Are you sometimes
discouraged, and think you'll never be
any better?
Can you tell the cause of your trou-
BILE, or what makes you sick?
Do you know that about ninetenths
of all sickness is caused by kidney
trouble? z
Have you ever stopped to think that
your kidneys may be the cause Of your
poor health?
Most people do not realize how
much work the kidneys are required to
do every day.
Every drop of blood in the body
must pass through and be filtered by
the kidneys thousands of times every
day.

FEED HER RIGHT.

The Sure Way to Rear Healthy Girl.
The relation of food to comfort and
health impressed an Iowa teacher, who
says:
years I became victim of insomnia
and night after night it was or
o'clock in the morning before I would
fall asleep, completely worn out. OF
course lost strength and brain power
and became terribly nervous until I
was on the verge of nervous prostra-
ton.
about that time I read an article
about Grape-Nuts that convinced me
that my trouble was due to Indigestion,
something / had never thought Of be-
fore. 1 got two boxes of Grape-Nuts
and began to use them for breakfast
and supper, with good rich cream.
Well, the change was something Won
derful. and my health came back in
bounds.
"Grape-Nuts took the place of nom
nourishing food, and L am now better
In health, brain power and spirits;
sleep well and work longer and harder
and never feel nervous or worried.
When I have finished my school ses-
sion still feel I have lots of reserve
force and energy left, and when l go
to bed at night I get sound and re-
freShlng steep ana get up carly, AdpPy
as lark.

try the food and I must tell you about
one case. She was puny, nervous
little girl, and her mother told me she
did not eat enough to keep bird alive.
| All she wanted was candy and other
trash. When I told her mother about
Grape-Nuts food she followed my adj

which Battalia was killed was yester
day identified as being sold to man
who answers to Calderones description
at the Palace Pawn shop on Washing
ton avenue south, conducted by Max
Schumacher and Fred Zimmerman. 1t
was sold to him Nov. -. They identi-
fled Calderone yesterday al the county
Jail.
When they entered the cell Calderone
became somewhat agitated, but quickly
saved himself by announcing that he
knew the men. He declared that they
worked in pawn shop on Washington
avenue south, and that he had bought
an overcoat there some time pre-
viously.
When confronted by the statement
that he had purchased the knife, he
positively denied 1t.
Calderone weakened considerably
yesterday and unaided by the presence
of his attorney finally broke his 81
lence. To several newspaper men dur
ing the morning he talked gruffiy, tell.
ing of his movements until he reached
the bridge.
Later, one of the deputy sheriffs re-
marked that Battalia's funeral had
been held and that his troubles were
over. The tears started to Calderone's
eyes and he cried, "Wisha my troubles
were over. They Just Degln.
And again he asked anXiously
whether or not he was going to die.
"wisha could see madre before, If
die he declared in a broken voice.
When Calderone had been identified
as the purchaser of the knife, Tony
Candioto, the shoemaker remained
with him in his cell for twenty min
utes, at the expiration of which time
he asked for Chief Conroy and Deputy
Sheriff Jones.
He was moved into the insane ward,
and at o'clock yesterday afternoon
the authorities, with stenographer,
entered the ward. There they were
closeted until 1920 o'clock last night,
while Sheriff Dreger and number of
| newspaper men sat in the jail office
| and waited.
In speaking of the matter Chief Con-
roy said that it was necessary to prod
Calderone along the entire time, al
though he seemed willing enough to
make the statement. He was put
! through a vigorous cross examination.
which, it is said. failed to shake his
! story.

CASPER ERNST
PLEADS NOT GUILTY
Continued From First Page.

Unable to furnish bail, the financier,
whose alleged appropriation of funds
belonging to his clients, it is said, will
exceed $250,000, was returned to his
cell at the county jail, where he has
been since he was first surrendered by
his original bondsmen, nearly month
ago.
Court Room Is Crowded.
The fact that Ernst would be ar
raigned yesterday was generally
known, and the criminal court room
was filled long before the prisoner was
brought over from the county Jail.
Late corners who failed to secure seats
filled the aisles and crowded up close
to the clerks desk, until 1t was with
considerable difficulty that the prisoner
was ushered through the crowd.
Attired in a stylishly cut suit of dark
cloth, Clearly shaver and with his hair
neatly cropped. Mr.. Ernst looked more
the part of a prosperous capitalist than
that of prisoner from the county Jail.
The banker was escorted from the
Jail to the court house and back by
Deputy Sheriff Reichow.
The two walked the distance Of the
block. chatting, the banker apparently
utterly oblivious Of the curious glances
cast at him by people whom they
passed. He appeared to not notice any
thing until the court mouse was reach
ed.
Seeks to Avoid the Crowd.
Here a crowd had congregated at
the Wabasha street entrance, expect
ing to get a glimpse at Ernst. The
banker noticed the crowd, and for a
second he hesitated.
LET us go in by the side basement
entrance" he suggested to Deputy
Reichow,
The request was granted. and the
two entered the elevator in the base
ment and were carried to the top floor,
where hundreds were already waiting.
Once in the court room, Ernst con-
versed for moment in a low tone with
his attorney, and the two walked up
to- the clerks desk, where the indict-
ments were read.
Judge Orr was anxious that some
date be arranged for the beginning Of
the trial, but Attorney Donnelly was
not ready to name a date, and County
Attorney Kane wanted more time, in
timating that the grand jury was not
yet through with the Ernst case.
The matter will come up again Dec.
8, at which time the attorneys Will
agree upon a date for the trial. 1t is
expected, however, that the trial will
be commenced some time early in De-
cember.

COURT IS RIGOROUS
Holds Tenantfor Plaster Danced
Off by Guests.

Louis SoduStrom, who lives at SIT
Wellss> is no longer in favor of sur
prise parties, since one held at his
house the latter part of October cost
him something more than 1888.
Sodustrom lives In house which is
owned by Carl I. Johnson, and while
spending quiet evening at his home
on the night of Oct. %, he was sur
prised by the sudden arrival of fifteen
couples of young people. who had
planned surprise party for him.
Sodustrom had no intention of being
classed, as 'piker'' when it came to
entertaining, so he made his unlimited
guests feel at home and it is said to
have been almost daylight when the
merrymakers took their departure.
The up stairs of the Sodustrom
home was converted into a dance hall,
and the visitors are charged with hav-
ing made the night one long to be re-
membefed by the more peaceable
neighbors.
1t is asserted that the dancers did
not trip the light fantastic toe, but
yards of plastering were Jared loose
from the ceiling below, and the house
was sadly in need of repairs when an
inspection of the ruins was made the
following day.
When Mr.. Johnson, the owner Of the
house, was appraised of what had hap
pened, he demanded settlement, but
his tenant was not inclined to settle,
and suit was brought in the court pre-
sided over by Justice of the Peace
Hoff.
Yesterday Justice Hoff decided the
case, allowing Johnson damages in the
sum Of So, which, with the costs taxed,
made a total of $15,9S, which Sodus-
from will have to pay for the damage
caused by his guests
