N. Y. CENTRAL
VICTIM OF
SWINDLERS

New York. Aug. 1o.--The passenger de-
partment of the New York Central ana
Hudson River railroad has discovered a
very comprehensive scheme for forging
and altering tickets issued by the road
on account of advertising.
The tickets were about an inoh and
half wide and four or five inches long
They were made out in the name Of the
person 10 whom they were issued and
the points between which the tickets
were good were either written or stamped
on the face OF the ticket. On the margin
were the months OF the year and the days
OF tho week. one of each sbeing punched
to indicate the length of time for which
the ticket was good.
Several weeks ago a ticket came back
to the office OF General Passenger Agent
Daniels, which purported TO have been
issued to Mr.. and Mrs. James Blank and
two daughters.
Investigation showed that the ticket
had been issued To one man for trip
from Now York to Buffalo and good for
a certain number Of days In the month
of October.

had been punched.
The work Of filing had been done by a
person evidently skilled in that work. The
name Of tho person TO whom the ticket
was issued had been taken out with acid

substituted by bogus stamp.
Besides this, the company stamp had
been forged 10 imprint on the ticket

acid used had changed the color of the
ticket from a blush gray TO gray

LETTER TO T. $. STEPHENS,
 NEWPORT, ARK.

Dear Sir: The Trustees of the Fair Ground, Cobleskiil, N. Y., were glad to pay 15 cents a gal lon more for Devoe; and no won- der. Two other paint agents said it would take 150 gallons of their paint to cover the buildings.
 Our agent put 1t at 125 or less. It took 115.
 We saved them 35- gallons of paint and painting (worth S4 to S5 a gallon, as the painting costs two or three times as much as the paint less 15 cents a gallon on 115 gallons. Say $40.
 That's how to count the cost of paint. The cost of putting it on is S3 or S4 a gallon. You see what that means. Go buy Devoe..
 Yours truly,

ARBOR DAY CELEBRATION.
Exercises at School in First Cele- bration of Above Day At
 tract Quite a Crowd.

The citizens of Newport, for the first time, celebrated Arbor Day Friday afternoon, ,rby trying in a large measure to beauti- fly the public school grounds. Promptly at 3 o'clock the entire school was marched into the chapel and\ with / about seventy five of our people sang, with all the enthusiasn of true Ameri- cans, My EountrE, 'Tis of Thee, 1" Prof. George Hopkins, Mrs. R. ". Randy and Miss Hal Phillips having the music in charge.
 Prof. Hopkins read the 1st Psalm, followed with prayer. The ladies of the w. c. T. U.s who had the celebration in charge, each repeated some pass age bearing upon planting and growth, all of which was very appropriate for the occasion.
 The board of aldermen were the guests of the occasion.
 ". R. Thompson, when called upon for an address, proved fo be the orator of the day and won the applanse of the ladies, when he said he did not believe all the work of civic improvement should be put on fine women of the town.
 Mrs. M. A. Dorsey made 3 beautiful talk to the school chil- dren, and had them so enthused by the time she was through, they were ready for the work of setting out the large number of flowers, trees and shrubbery that had been given them. Mrs. Dorsey suggested that a special bed of roses be made as q memo rial to the late Mrs. Lottie Rob- ertson, who had taught many of the men and women of our town, and jt was unanimously approved.
 We hope these Arbor Day eele- brationg will become an annual affair, and that the civic irn- provement begun on the school grounds will spread over the en- tire town, and finally reach our city cemetery, where it is so badly needed.

 The company is still in need of several recruits, and for the in- ducements offered to young men there should be more interest shown in the local organization, not only by the young men of the city, but by the citizens in general.
 It is the intention of the officers and men to make the Newport one of the best in the state, and this can be easily ac- complished if the proper interest is taken onlthe part of the young men and a little encouragement given by the people,
