CONFESSES IMMORTALITY.

We call special attention to the im- plication that Gov. Davis threw out against all male members of the churches and all married men. He said: II am not fit to belong to the church. There is not married man true to his wife; 1 am not and no other man is; all our wives could get di- vorces on that ground" Just think of such an utterance from the gov ernor of state. How could even Davis hurl such monstrous faIsehoods at the Christian men of the state? Thus he charges them with infidelity to their wives and their church pro- fessions. There may be some such men, but these wholesale charges are as false as false can be. The Cover nor says he is guilty; we suppose he knows, and we suppose he judges all other men by himself, which is unjust judgmeLt.-Ozark Democrat.
 The Ozark Democrat, the newspa per from which the above statement is taken, is edited by one of the most reliable gentlemen in the state, and the above extract can be taken at it's face value. Think of it, men of Ar kansas, your Governor, who has been proven liar and corruptionist, at tacks the character of every single husband in Arkansas! He confesses his own infdelity, and says all men are like him, brutes and lecherous scoundrels! And this is the man who wants to reform the state; who would drive out trusts; who would purify politics; who would serve ten years in the penitentiary order to clean out the statehouse gang! How do you like the picture set before you by Jeff Davis himself, farmers of Phillipps county? He is morally corrupt, and says so, and says you are in the same boat, and upon that ground asks your support. What will you do about it when voting time comes?-Helena World.

GRAND JURY INSTRUCTED
 TO INVESTIGATE.

Helena, Oct. 6.-United States dis trict court for the eastern division of the eastern district of Arkansas con- vened here today, with Judge Jacob Trieber of Little Rock presiding. The session promises to be busy one and will probably extend through this week and the week following. The grand jury, which was empaneled and sworn in this morning, was charged by Judge Trieber especially on the subject of intimidation of negro citi- zens. His remarks in that connection are of interest, in view of the fact that number of arrests have been made in Poinsett county on charges of conspiracy and threatening and in- timidating negroes. These cases will be investigated by the grand jury.

Several bids have already been re- ceived by Secretary A. D. Bailey of the Front Street Improvement Dis trict for the vitrifed brick paving of that thoroughfare. Contractors from many Northern cities have asked for specifications for the work, with a view to offering bids.
 About month ago notice was published that contract would be let to build bridge over Cache river. When the bids were received the low est bid was $1, 500 and Judge Rains eontended that $l ,600 was too much and the contract was not let Judge Rains informs us that Jackson county contractor will build the bridge for $1,100. Bids will be re- ceived again soop.-Jonesboro Times.
 One of Newport's young doctors had very thrilling experience re- gently on professional visit which called him into a rough and sparsely
 
 miles below here in the White River bottoms. While Uraversing alone on horseback this wild and woody section where the canebreaks rise upon either side in such luxuriant growth as to make the traveller feel his helpless ness in such wilderness, this young medic was suddenly called from reveries of city practice where such pilgrimages as the present were un- heard of, by the sight of a wild animal across the rugged roadway. The operating table has no horrors for the Me D., but partners certainly have and the young physician lost no time upon his return trip homeward bound. The story of panther was not swal- lowed by his friends at home and they are offering dollars to doughnuts with. no takers that the animal seen was a harmless old Arkansas swamp rabbit

DEATH OF POISON.
Wounded Actor Expires at the Hos pital-Dr. Parchman Again Ar
 rested at Van Buren.

Van Buren, Oct. 6.-At 7:30 yester day morning Dr. w. L. Parchman, one of the most prominent physicians, shot Charles Tolson, manager of the Tolson Stock Company, at the Frisco depot in this city. From the effects of the wound Tolson died at the Belle Point hospital in Fort Smith at 2:30 this morning.
 The theatrical company of which Tolson was manager had finished a weeks engagement in this city and had gone to the depot to leave for Mena. MT. Tolson was leaning in the window purchasing tickets when he was approached from behind by Dr. Parchman, who called him by name. Tolson turned when Parchman fired, the first shot going wild. Tolson started to run when a second shot struck him in the back, passing through the body. As ho was falling third shot struck his watch, which deflected the course of the bullet. Tolson was placed on a train and taken to Fort Smith and placed in a hospital, where he died.
 The cause of the killing was that Parchman's daughter had become in fatuated with the stage.- Parchman surrendered to the sheriff and was placed under bond on charge of as- sault with intent to kill.
 This morning he was again arrested and has since been under guard. His case will be heard by County Judge Gross tonight, who will pass on the question of bond.
 Tolson will be buried in Fort Smith tomorrow under the auspices of the Elks and Masons, of which orders he was member.

TWO-THIRDs CROP PREDICTED

Following is the weather bureaus report on Arkansas crops for the week ending October 5:
 The temperature was above sea- sonal, with local showers over most of the state the fore part of the week and general rains the latter part. Got ton made slight improvement and the indications are that the yield will be about two thirds of an average crop; it is opening slowly in many sections; picking, however, is quite general and where not retarded by frequent rains considerable progress has been made, but only small percentage of the crop has been gathered; there is very little top crop, and in some sec tions the bottom crop is not opening properly.
 Corn is being gathered and good yields secured. Late potatoes and turnips are doing fairly well, but both of these crops will be benefited by rain. The ground is in good condi- tion for fall blowing and much of this work has been done. Very little wheat and oats have been sown. Late apples are better than the early crop, but the yield will be short and the quality inferior.

IN HONOR OF PRESIDENT.

The first meeting since the summer vacation of the Newport Relief So- ciety was held Tuesday afternoon with Mrs. 0. E. Crook and after the business routine had been performed the affair was converted into a very pleasant social occasion in honor of the society's president, Mrs. Ike Goldman, who has recently returned from trip abroad.
 Mrs. Crooks cozy home was tastily decorated in potted plants and cut flowers. and everything contributed to the pleasure of the affair, Mrs. Goldman making very interesting talk upon the scenes of her travels.
 The hostess was assisted in enter taining by Mesdames W. A. Billings ley and Chamblin Simpson, and a dainty luncheon, consisting of sand wiches, chicken salad, pickles, cheese and coffee, was served.

NONE WORSE BUT MOSES.

The question has been frequently asked "why has the Beacon always opposed Jeff Davis so bitterly in his race for governor?" Our answer is that the Beacon opposes Jeff Davis now and has always opposed him be- cause we honestly believe him to be the most infamous demagogue and prevaricator that ever disgraced the chief executives office of any state. There is but one man who ever occu- pied a governors chair for whom we have greater contempt than we Lave for Jeff Davis, and that man is old ex-Gov. Moses of South Caro- lima, who aided in plundering the peo- pie Of the Palmetto state during the dark reconstruction period, but who is now wandering vagabond upon the face of the earth, about half the time in Northern prisons for petty thefts. And mark the prediction that when Davis political star sinks-it is already on the wane-and his alleged friends of today turn their back upon him there will be none left so low as to do him homage, so deep will be his depreciation. Truth crushed to earth is bound to rise again and when it does, in Jeff Davis' case, woe be unto him. We hope this explanation of our reason tor opposing MT. Davis is sufficiently plain.-Camden Beacon.

ASSAULTED POLICE JUDGE.

Eureka Springs, Oct. 6.-Chief of Police w. R. Hudgins was fined $2O for contempt by Police Judge Wade James today. The first ten came when the chief told the court that he was running the police department. Capt. Hudgens told the judge he would pay the fine and settle with him personally after court, where upon the judge added the second.
 The chief, being informed that court was adjourned, attacked the judge, but was pulled off by other officers.
