More About the Jefferson.

THE TRIBUNE for a year past has been sounding a note of warning to the people against certain state fire insurance com panies and the Jefferson Mutual in particular. From our eXperi- ence and observation of the fire insurance business we knew that it was only a question of a short time when the policy holders in all the state mutual companies that send out irresponsible agents would find that they had been robbed.
 We reproduce the following from the Arkansas Democrat relative to the affairs of the Jef- ferson Mutual which has policy holders all over this part of the state:
 'sThe affairs of the Jefferson Mutual Fire Insurance Company of Pine Bluff are still in the hands of Felix M. Rosenberg who is receiver. w. T. Wool dridge of Pine Bluff, is repre- senting the Dean Hardware Com pany of Portland, which made application for the receiver on account of an unsettled claim for fire damage under one of the Jefferson's policies. At the time of failure, about July 27, there were in the neighborhood of D. 900 policies in force, represent ing policy holders in the ap- proximate number of 1000.
 Under bylaw IT of the com pany which is made part of the policy contract, it is expected that these policy holders will be asked to contribute an assess ment of about 3 per cent on the face of their policies. It is pro- posed also that the business, which consists of the list Of sufferers, be sold to some one who might be interested in selling the erstwhile patrons of the Jefferson more insurance. The proceeds of the sale and assessment snd the

BOUGHT OUT WASH BENTON
Eureka Springs Lumber Go. to
 Keep a Yard in Green Forest.

R. s. Granger, secretary of the Eureka Springs Lumber Co.,, was here Wednesday and closed a deal with Wash Benton by which this company becomes the owner of Mr. Benton's lumber yard here.
 The Eureka Springs Lumber Go. is one of the strongest and and best equipped firms engaged in the lumber business in this part of the state and the fact that it is to operate yard in Green Forest is cause for con- graduation upon the part of our citizens, who have experienced the great disadvantages of having no enterprise of the kind in the town a great deal of the time during the past two years.
 The company now owns sever- al saw and blaming mills in the vicinity of Eureka Springs, hav- ing, purchased the extensive lumber interests of Mrs. Mass man. The company is financial ly strong, and Mir. Granger tells us that it is the purpose of the company to put in 9 complete stock of lumber and all other ma- terial commonly found in a first class lumber yard and at prices that will meet any competition. The business here will be con- ducted by Mr. Benton who as- sumes the position as an employ of the company. MT. Benton was making an effort to supply the demand for lumber here and his yard was lots of help, but the operation of such business as will meet the demands requires more capital than he could com : mand.
 The Eureka Springs Lumber Co. will not have variety of everything needed but will be able to put in car load should it be desired on a couple of days notice.

support, then it was that he re- solved to stand by the primary count and not only vote the democratic ticket from bottom to top but also to advise his friends to support Mr. Fancher, declaring that if they were his friends they would vote for MT. Fancher. He didn't want any republican sup port in "his'n".
 The speaking closed with Mr. k. B. Wall of Fayetteville. Mr. Walls peculiar wit is we'll known. Among other things he said that that if hes had been making the ticket neither Parker nor Davis would have been nominated, that Parker says that the gold stand- ard has been irrevocably fixed and that Davis was 8 'rumbunk~ uous" Palmer and Buckner man in 1896, that he did not like Gov ernor Davis, but that it was the duty of every honest democrat to support the nominees.
 At the close of the meeting a Parker and Davis club was or ganised with s. s. Cunningham as president and Henry l.. Bunc h as secretary.

Case of Dr. Lig1i tie.

On the morning of May B last, the barn of Dr. R. G. Lightle of Searcy was burned and as the people then thought Dr. Lightle perished in the fam es himself, a charred body being found in the debris that answered the de- scription almost as fully as such an Identification could possibly reach. One doctor recognized a scar on the collar bone which he set, dentist identified work done on the teeth, and the watch tallied exactly for that of pr. Lightle and as.the doctor disappeared just at that time, it was readily accepted by the corners jury and every body else seemingly that the re- mains could be none other than that of pr. Lightle.
 In accordance with this proof S21 GOO insurance on the life of Dr. Lightle was paid to his widow, he having held policies in the New York for S11, ,OOO Fidelity Mutual 5000, Mutual Life 5000, Metropolitan Life S2- 900, A. o. U. w. S20OO.
 On last Friday a suit was filed in the Pulaski circuit court against the widow of pr. Lightle by the Metropolitan and Fidelity Mutual companies, seeking to recover the insurance these com panies had paid, alledging that pr. Lightle is not dead, that the charred remains found were that of Ed. Pitts, a man who died a short time previous to the burn ing of the Lightle barn.
 Later developments also show that Ed. Pitts grave was empty when examined, the body having been removed and the co1fln carefully placed back in position.
 It would seem that the 1n- surance companies have good ground for thinking they have been defrauded.

amount raised on the G20,CC0 bond filed with the auditor, will be employed to liqaidate the loss- es, which amount to about S21- GOO.
 Section IT of the bylaws, to which reference is made above, reads as follows: "The ret profits of the company, which shall consist of all premiums and interest received, after deductiilg cancellations, amounts paid for losses, expense Of management, amount set aside as a reserve or surplus fund, taxes and other claims growing out of the busi~ ness. shall be distributed as dividends pro rata on all policies remaining in force, for the period for which they were written, and which are in force at the time of said distribution" The Hqui- dation..of this company's affairs is observed with more than passing interest by fire insurance repre- sentatives throughout tie state.
 It has been stated that casual examination of some other mutuals in the state would indi- cate an impairment in them, and the mutual fire insurance interests in Arkansas were quite eager to keep the Jefferson on it's feet. The failure of the Jefferson, which wrote business throughout the state and advertised widely, may be the inception of general re- tirement of companies of this character, and the consequences may have 8 tendency to modify the views and opinions now ap- parently held by the personnel of Arkansas next general as- sembly.'

Attorney-General G. W. Mur-

Attorney-General G. W. Mur- phy ,Who is. soiurning in Canada for a few weeks, has written let ter anouncing his purpose to vote for Hon. Harry Myres for gover- nor as against Governor Davis for a third term. The letter was evidently intended for publi- cation, and as usual Colonel Murphey uses very plain and forcible English in expressing himself. This communication will occasion q uite a furry in po- litical circles and will elicit no small amount of criticism some of which will necessarily be un- pleasant to the writer, if he should take the pains to follow it up. We must consider in this connection that General Murphy has some peculiar characteristics. lie never has cared much for office, and but for the impor- tunities of his friends he would have retired from public life at the end of his first term. He never intended to ask for any other office, and would doubtless refuse if he were pressed by the strongest powers in the state to enter another contest. There- fore it will make no difference with him how many partisans attempt to read him out of the party. No man can accuse him of 8 failure to speak his mind, and he values that privilege very highly. We imagine that no in- dividual will care to take up the gauntlet he has thrown down for any taker, and with the knowl- edge that he has no ulterior pur- pose to serve and that the least said in that connection is easiest mended, We may let the incident pass.-Little Rock Democrat.

Trains into Melville.

North Melville celebrated the completion of the White River road to that place in a fittin s manner. An excursion train was run from Cotter and an immense number of people took part in the exercises. A monster pinic and barbecue was the principal fea- lures of the day and itl said that it was the most enjoyable occa" sion the country has ever wit messed. North Melville is one mile north of Melville, and a nla- cadamized pike is being con- structed between the two places, which will soon be completed.
 Rapid progress is being made on the construction of the road and that the work will be com pleted before the first of the year is a foregone conclusion.

o11YTHREE DAYS OF COURT

ONLY TE K l. E DA So oH NJ o Some Democratic Speeches at the Court House Monday Night. Perhaps the shortest term of |circuit court in the history of this Bounty was pulled off at Berry lille first of the week. Tine Rocket was cleared by 9 o'clock Tuesday morning and both pam bels of the petit jury were dis kharged without being sworn to try single ease.
 Pleas of guilty and nolle pros- ,ouis came thick and fast and he lawyers began leaving on the rst train,
 the important eases isposed of was the indictment y the grand jury of James Camp ell on the charge of horse steal- bg. He plead guilty and was entenced to one year at hard lA'1pr in the penitentiary.
 The dispatch of business thus wing enormous expen SC to the eople IS largely due to our
 lendid circuit judge, J. N.

 On Monday night the court

 nocracy would take courage
 make greater efforts to carry November election for Parker Davis.
 Wythe Walker was then oduced as the Little Giant n Washington county" a lr. Walkers pleasing manner m ddress at once charmed his |oeratie hearers. He said a the democratic nominee for a Ildent and yicepresident, and s Ss governor were far from \ ls factory to him, that he ha d .sn er see William Jennings 2 Pn president of the United :. les than any other man in the cdi d; that there were many .,.

 G. White then made a short 'Il( Sad he was not an alar- " put in his humble opinion Ly lever in tue history of this
