DOCTOR MAGNESS
 SHOT AT MENA
Ex-Newark Citizen Shot to Death by Harry Daniels, a Rail-
 road Man.

Mena, Aug. 19. Harry Dan- iels, freight engineer on the Kan sas City Southern Railway, shot and instantly killed Dr. w. L. Magness, leading physician and citizen of this place, at 9 o'clock this morning. The affair took place in the store room of the Davis Drug Company. Fol lowing is a statement of the shooting from an eyewitness: Dr. Magness was on the outside of the counter, leaning over 1t in the act of tying up a parcel. Daniels entered the store at the front door and walked back to- ward his victim, who did not look around. Without a word of warning, Daniels drew his revol- yer, a 38-calibre automatic weap- on, and fired from a distance of six feet. The bullet struck Dr. Magness in the small of the back.
 He reeled and turned partly around. Daniels fired again, the second shot taking effect just below the right eye. His victim fell to the floor and Daniels rap idly fired three more shots into his body as he lay dead.
 Two bullets took effect in the stomach and one in the lungs. Any of the five shots would have been fatal.
 Daniels immediately gave him. self up to the sheriff and to show how cool he was asked that he might go by home and get his pipe before going to jail. He is being held for murder in the first degree.
 The trouble is said to have been jealousy over his wife. Dr. Magness was a cousin of Tom Magness and was formerly a citizen of Newark. He was very highly esteemed in Mena and many of his friends are reported to have wept on the street when they heard of his death.

CONNECTS DIET.

The convicts employed in the railroad work on the White River extension are not treated so badly after all, in the opinion of the Yellville Echo, which gives their bill of fare as follows: For breakfast biscuit, fried meat, dried fruit, molasses, coffee and sugar. For dinner corn bread, boiled meat, vegetables and water. For supper biscuit, fried meat, dried fruit, molasses, rice, coffee and sugar, and all they want every time.
 The editor remembers a visit made several years ago to the penitentiary of Missouri, when by request of the warden the party remained to witness the men in stripes enjoy the supper meal.
 Their enjoyment of the scant repast can hardly be vouched for as the menu consisted of one bun apiece, sorghum and a tin cup of coffee. They were required to march into the dining hall like soldiers, take their places at the table at the first tap of the gong, sit down the second and "set to- this elaborate fare at the third tap. They were hardly allowed ten minutes at the table and all had to rise and leave upon signals just as they had entered. The convicts of Arkansas, even though let out to private contrac. tors, which is a barbarious prac- tice, and which it is not our pur- pose to defend, are not so badly treated after all, when compared with those of other states.

WAR EAGLE
 OFFICE ROBBED.

Rogers, Ark, August 19. The postofice at War Eagle, fifteen miles southeast of this place, was broken into and robbed of $40 in money and about $40 in stamps. Jsrry Howell, the postmaster, being somewhat of a detective, yesterday morning tracked Dolf and Frank Rizely from the home of Dolph, about two miles west of the postoffice, to the scene of the robbery and back home, where he arrested them. Oneof them confessed to the crime and both were brought to Rodgers this morning en route to Fayette- vile, where they will be tried be- fore the commissioner and bound over to the federal court at Fort Smith.

BACK IN THE HARNESS.

The Poplar Bluff Citizen-Demo- crat, s. Howard Leech's news paper idea of a hyphenated name and double-column editorials, is a thing of the past and the sheet is now the property of George c. Orchard, while Joe c. Berner and Capt. H. c. Mckinney are back in the harness as business manager and editor respectively.
 The faded-out, split-in-the- middle name has been dropped and the old name, Citizen, again appears on the paper, and the familiar ear-marks of Mckinney are to be discerned in every line of the newsy paper.
 Here's hoping.
