Warning to the PuDlic.

 The Advertiser has been requested by Dodd. Mead and Company. New York publishers to print the following as q warning to the public:
 We have just received letters from four different persons stating that within a few weeks past each of them has given orders and paid sums of money to agents purporting to represent George N. Matti- son, Manager of the Advertising Depart ment, Dodd, Mead and. Company, New York and Chicago for two sets of books entitled Nations of the World in 90 vo.. umes and Six Thousand Years of His tory in 10 volumes. The names of the agents purporting to represent Mattison are given as Calvin. Norton, Crawford and Leyton.
 Neither Mattison nor any other persons of the above names are in our employ ment nor in any way connected with us. and the above books are not and never have been published by us. The use of our name is fraudulent and the transac- ton in each case is obviously swindling one. We take this opportunity of warming the public.''
 Madison and Crawford have been in Montgomery and are quite well known here,

wAsHNaroN's BIRTHDAY.
For the First Time Liverpool Cotton
 Market Closes.

New Orleans, Feb. 1S.-A special to The Timcs-Democrat from New York says:
 Cotton traders received a decided sur prise today in the form of cable dls- patch from the Liverpool Cotton Associ- ation announcing that the Liverpool Ex- change will close its door on Washing tons birthday.
 The news, when read on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange by Will liam V. King. the Superintendent, wes greeted with applause and much favor able comment, as the Liverpool exchange has never before honored the memory of the first President of the United States by suspending business on the anniver- sary of his birth.
 The prospective action is taken by cot- ton brokers to mean a recognition of the importance of New York and New Or leans exchanges, which are closed on Washington's birthday as cotton ceuters.
 At any rate the news brought. out the expression of a decidedly cordial feeling for England in general and the Liverpool cotton operators in particular

 Washington. Feb. 1S.-As the result of the territorial hearings for Statehood. the prediction is made from reliable sources that bill will be reported in the near future from the House Commit tee on Territories joining Oklahoma and Indian Territory into single State under the name of Oklahoma.

 Later a bill will be reported admitting Arizona and New Mexico as a single State. but this latter proposition will not be pressed for some time

EDITOR BAUGH
 STRIKES JONES.
Fight at Judsonia Between Wit ness and Attorney in Rob-
 erts Case.

Judsonia, Sept. 27. J. J. Baugh, editor of the White County Citi- zen, assaulted Gustave Jones, one of the attorneys for the de- fense in the Roberts trial, by striking him on the head with his fist, near the Park gallery, !, Just after court had adjourned for the day.
 Bystanders jerked Baugh to one side and Jones walked on as coolly as if nothing had occurred, remarking to his friends that he hardly felt the blows. The diff culty grew out of a colloquy be- tween Baugh and Jones while the latter was addressing the ju- ny, just before the adjournment of court, during which Baugh said to Jones, "You were trying to put lies in the mouths of wit nesses in the Lightle trial, ;" to which remark Jones replied, "You are a liar.

take the doctors statement to be true. It is strange that the doctor wanted to brighten up on anatomy at this time and get a body to dissect with a dim light in dark loft, looking for the minute tissues in a dead mans body" The speaker was quite eloquent, and covered every inch of the ground. He said it is an evident fact that Lightle aimed to swindle the insurance people, and he can show the jury by his own statement that it is true.
 When Mrs. Lightle wrote the doctor in Clayton, Ga., that the insurance companies were paying up his policies the doctor says himself that he offered a fellow by the name of Cleveland $2OO to

HELLO BILL
 PLEASED HOUSE.

Hello Bill," which was one of the best attractions seen at the opera house last season, was re- peAted in this city Tuesday even- ing by the same company and with the same success as be fore. In fact, it's so good that another rendition of this excellent comedy will be given again tonight.
 One noteworthy change is that Of Arthur L. Coglister, who after several years as the real General William Fuller, has fallen from grace and become only a bunko general and instead of honorable service in Cuba as a soldier of Uncle Sam he has been hiding out in the woods of New Jersey to fool an unsuspecting and newly-wedded wife. He out shines in this new cast his tal- ented interpretation of the real general and makes a strong Hello Bill. :"
 A clever company supports the presentation of this laughable drama and even those who knew what was coming in this bundle of ridiculous complications laugh ed heartily over the absurdities so we'll portrayed.
 There is nothing heavy about the play, but the cleverness with which it's ridiculous plot is made to appear all very natural and the outcome of circumstances that might possibly arise has twice made a hit in Newport and we hope Bill" and his cast may be able to hang out an IS. R. O." sign tonight. They deserve it.

 CHARACTER WITNESSES TESTIFY.
 G. M. Walters was recalled and Judge Stuckey asked witness if he had taken much interest in the prosecution and witness said mo more than any other good citizen has, Witness said he did say he wanted to see the de- fendant convicted, owing to the tactics to which they had re- sorted.
 J. J. Baugh, editor of the Searcy Daily Citizen, had lived in Searcy since 1899. He knew Dr. Faust and swore he would not believe him on oath.
 J. c. Harder, the next witness, swore he had seen Dr. Faust drunk. Dr. Faust is from Searcy and is one of the defendant s alibi witnesses.
 J. w. Blevins had lived in Searcy fourteen years and was in the livery business. He testi- fled that he knew Dr. Faust's reputation for truth. He said it was bad.
 MT. Brundidge-Mr. Blevins, did Dr. Faust give your son a certificate that he had malarial fever in order to keep him from circuit court when he was well?
 MT. Stuckey-We object, your honor; witness is an impeaching witness himself and will show you the law.
 MT. Brundidge said he wanted to show Dr. Faust's character by showing how he gave a patient a certificate as being sick when he knew he was certifying to some thing that was false.
 MT. Stuckey turned to the law and the court sustained his ob- jection.
 MIR. PACE KNEW THE WITNESS.
 MT. Pace-Mr. Blevins, are you the same man 1 met in Har- rison year ago?
 "Yes, guess so. Twas in Har- rison and think I remember sec ing you."
 Witness could not remember any names of those who had dis cussed Dr. Faust's character pri- or to the trial.
 It was a general rumOr," said witness, "about the doctor hav- ing bad character"
 MT. Pace-Mr. Blevins, was it you or your brother who ran a blind tiger in Heber at the time I was prosecuting attorney?
 MT. Blevins-It was not me.
 H. J. L. Figg, a drug clerk in Searcy, said Dr. Faust bought morphine, opiates, etc., from him and acknowledged they were for his own use.
 Edward Goad told the jury how he dressed the body of Ed
