CONVICT DROWNED.

Pine Bluff, June 21. Thornton Hale of the Holderness Senyard Company has returned from Fair, where he went to identify the foater which was found at that place Saturday. He says the body was that of a convict and not that of Harry Duck of Little Rock, as was at first supposed. The convict's name could not be learned, but it is understood that he jumped off the Rob Roy bridge one day last week and was drowned. The body was dressed in the prison garb of a convict and could not have been that of MT. Buck, who was partly un- dressed at the tine he was drowned.

 Later when Skipworth attempt ed to arrest them negro named John Homer interfered and in the trouble which ensued he shot four times at the deputy, though none of the shots took effect.
 Skipworth fired ten shots at the negro, but owing to the dark ness only one shot to effect, as stated. Homer is not fatally hurt, unless complications set in, and is in a cell in jail.

BENEFIT RECITAL A
 COMPLETE SUCCESS

The benefit recital given under the auspices of the Ladies' Aid society of the Methodist church in the parlors of the Hazel hotel Tuesday evening was delightful affair socially and financially. The program as rendered rep resented some of the best mu- sicaI talent of the city and the vigorous applause received at the hands of the appreciative audience proved that each num- Der was well rendered.
 The piano solos by Misses Mae Whitaker and Mary Bailey, who a 9 considered two of Newport's S most talented pianists, were ex- ceDtionaIly well rendered upon 5hls occasion and were Ebera-ly applauded. After rendering their selections Miss Della Bernstein, in her clear, full soprano, sang "Carmena," which was loudly applauded.
 Miss Imogene Randy, who has long been a favorite in musical circles of the city, contributed two numbers, which were among the best on the program, violin and contralto solo.
 Mrs. G. A. Hillhouse, who is known over the state as possess ing a voice of unusual sweetness, sang in her clear, musical so- prano La Fioraja," which was much enjoyed by the entire audience.
 The solo, Spring Time," by Miss Hester Phillips, who has one of the sweetest and most highly cultivated voices in New port, received a most deserving encore.
 This was the first of series of entertainments to be given by the Ladies' Aid society of the Methodist church during the summer and fall. Much of the success of this entertainment is due to the efforts of Mesdames R. w. Randy and c. E. Crook, who are among the most untiring workers of the church.

FOR PROTECTION
 TO RICH LANDS
Leeves Will Be Built in Jefferson County-Plans Are Already Being Made for This
 Needed Work.

Pine Bluff, June 21. Sheriff James Gould and other planters in Jefferson county who own much land in the southern DOT tion of the county which was overf1owed by the breaking of the Frenchtown levee during the recent high water have already begun plans on a much larger and better scale.
 The levee will be rebuilt this summer and those in charge of the work propose to build the new levee in such way that the surrounding country will not again be overfowed, no matter how high the water may reach at future stages. The Cotto Belt road has made certain prop ositions by which it agrees to pay a part of the cost.
 This levee is by far the most important in the county, for it is situated on a bend in the river, and guards thousands of acres of rich bottom land and adjoining plantations. It was the break ing of this levee that caused most of the damage in the lower sec tion of the county and overfowed the tracks of the Cotton Belt road. The sentiment prevails all over the county where the planters have suffered gravely from the flood, that the levees must be made stronger and higher, and hundreds of dollars will be spent in the county this summer on this work.

VOLUME W.
SENATOR BERRY
 DENIES REPORT.
There Was No Compromise Be- tween Davis and Himself Says Governor Worked
 Against Him.

The Fort Smith Times prints the following from Senator Berry, under recent date:
 There was no compromise, agreement or understanding be- tween Gov. Davis or his friends and myself or my friends con- corning the delegation to St. Louis or anywhere else. When I reached Hot Springs on Mon- day 1 was informed that Gov. Davis had announced that he was going to beat me for national delegate and that MT. Smead was the candidate to be put for ward for the purpose of encom- passing my defeat Gov. Davis sent me word that he intended to defeat me.
 "On Wednesday it became evi- d ent to everybody that 1 would be selected as one of the big four, and then 1 was approached by friend of Gov. Davis, who told me that the governor said that if Benton county, when called, would vote for him for delegate he would ask his friends to vote for me. l replied that Mr. FIinemon, the supa,intend- ent of public schools, was a can- didate for delegate also, that he was 8 friend of mine and that Benton county would vote for Mr. Hinemon, Senator Clarke, John w. Crockett and myself, and would not vote for Governor Davis, and that l would rather be beaten a hundred times than enter into any agreement with him under the conditions of which MT. Hinemon or any other friend of mine would be sacri- feed. l therefore refused to enter into any agreement with him with reference to the matter.
 Sometime after that MT. Smeed, who was put forth as a candidate against me, informed me that he was going to with draw; that when he became candidate he did not know that he was being put forward for the purpose of beating me, and that he thought 1 was entitled to an election. He said that he didn't want to beat me if he could. 1 told him that I did not ask him to withdraw, and to use his own judgment in the matter. MT. Hinemon withdrew and then Gov. Davis, Senator Clarke, Jno. w. Crockett and myself were elected by exclamation.
 ''I was also approached by friend of Gov. Davis with refer ence to the fight on for chairman and secretary of the state cen- tral committee. The proposition made me this time was, that if Benton county would vote against Carroll Armstrong and Gray Car roll for chairman and secretary, respectively, the Davis faction would vote for me for delegate. I told them that l would much rather be beaten, and that Ben ton county would vote for Car roll Armstrong and Gray Carroll that I had never yet made an agreement with mortal man to vote for him or his friends, and that I never would. There is no truth whatevor in the statement that I owe my election as a dele gate to any compromise or agree ment with Gov. Davis or any of his friends.

HOSIERY MILLS FOR
 POPLAR BLUFF.
Proposition Submitted to Busi ness Men of That City Mon day Night By Premier
 Hosiery Company.

The beginning of what may prove to be a large and valuable industry to Poplar Bluff was made in the Quinn hotel parlors Monday evening, says the Citi- zen-Democrat of that city, when Paul E. Vogel met with a num- Der of the business men of the city for the purpose of talking over the proposition of removing the Premier hosiery mills of &c., dalia, Mo-, to this city.
 MT. Vogel is the principal owner and the president of this mill, having associated with him F. Fletcher as vice president and J. w. Kennedy as secretary and treasurer.
 At the present time the com pany is capitalized at $15,O0O, but if the necessary arrange ments can be made to remove to this city the capitalization will probably be increased to $50,O00, with something like $20,000 to S25, 900 paid in. With such a capitalization about 100 people could be employed and the out put would reach over 200 dozen per day.
 MT. Vogel offers a most prac- tical plan, simply the sale of the necessary stock, and ask no be- nus of any kind. This places the proposition in the light of hard headed business proposition, and there seems every indication that the plan will be successful and that the factory will be brought to our city. The attendance Monday night was somewhat small on account of numerous other meetings about town, con- sequently another meeting was arranged for at the Elks' club rooms, when the matter will be taken up in greater detail by the business men of the city.
