FOLK ASSISTANT
 DID THE WORK

Little Rock, May 22.-It de- velops that the detective work which was done during the re- cent session of the legislature, in connection with the uncovering of alleged boodling operations, was conducted under the direc- tion of w. w. Kay of St. Louis, who was interested in the inves- tigations conducted by former District Attorney Joseph w. Folk in St. Louis.
 He was recommended by prom inent citizens of St. Louis, who valued his worth as demon strated in running to earth the St. Louis gang of corruptionists.
 He visited Little Rock two or three times incognito during the session, and directed the work of two operatives, one of whom is c. A. Truett, who secured the testimony upon which the indict- ments against Senator Gross are based. These men are not Pink erton detectives, as supposed.

TROUBLES ON INCREASE.

In referring to the refusal of the management of the Mari anna opera house to allow John V. Roberts to lecture there the Courier of that city says:
 "To realize the estimation in which John V. Roberts of Searcy, accused of body snatching, is held in places where he is well known, his admirers here and elsewhere should note his re- ception at Perryville, where he proposed to lecture last week. A mass meeting of the citizens was held and he was told in no uncertain terms to move on.
 ''It will be noted that Perry vile is the home of the father ot Mrs. Lightle and the place of burial of Dr. Lightle, whose death had been questioned in some quarters and whose body has recently been disinterred tc prove the falsity of the charge,
 "A proposition from MT. Rob erts for the use of the Marianne opera house for the purpose o1 delivering a lecture here, we art glad to note, was refused by thu board of directors at a called meeting Thursday"

SHOOTING SCRAPE IN
 HOXIE ROUNDHOUSE
Billy Matthews Takes a Shot at John Morgan on Account of
 a Board Bill.

Hoxie, May 22. Friday after noon in the office of Foreman Heidelberg of the Iron Mountain roundhouse Billy Matthews, an old Iron Mountain engineer now keeping a boarding house near the roundhouse, shot with a shotgun and seriously wounded John Morgan, a south end engi- neer, in the back, filling him full of shot from his head to his feet.
 The trouble grew out of a board bill Morgan had long owed Matthews and which he had promised to pay payday" fo1 several days past.
 Matthews surrendered to Dep uty Sheriff Lou Graf and will . have an examination as soon as Morgan can be present. In the trouble it seems Matthews also 1 threatened to shoot Foreman Heidelberg, but was persuaded out of it. The case looks bad for Matthews at this time.

WILL BE HARD
 ON CONDUCTORS.

Here is the way Billy Barnes, editor of the Sikeston Democrat, tells of the auditors recently placed on the Iron Mountain passenger trains:
 "The Irish Mountain system has put.collectors on their trains. This reminds us of an old story. A scraggily old maid died and her relatives buried her and put on her tomb the following epitaph:
 Here lies the body of Sarah Ann, She's gone to the bosom of Abraham A boy came along who knew Sarah Ann's vituperous tongue and wrote just under it.: That's all right for Sarah Ann. Isf But it is certainly hell for Abraham i This collector business may be all right for the company, but it is certainly hell on the con- ductors.

SCANDAL DEVELOPED
 AT SOLDIERS HOME.
Grave Charges Brought Against Superintendent by Wives of
 Old Veterans.

Little Rock, May 22.-A scan- dal has developed at the Confed- crate home at Sweet Home, southwest of Little Rock. Affi- davits were made by three wom- en against Samuel Hartwick, su- perintendent, charging him with assault and battery.
 When Charles F. Martin, a member of the board of trustees of the home. was questioned about the charges, he said: T believe the whole thing is a scan- dal and a scandal from first to last, manufactured for the sole purpose of causing the removal of Samuel Hartwick as superin- tendent of the home. He is 68 years old, has an excellent army record and l do not believe he is guilty of all these charges.
 This is my honest opinion about the whole thing that l do not believe there is any truth in it"
 The afidavits of the women are given in great detail and are of a character that makes them unprintable.

1t is said when Hobson called for

cry soldier stepped forth with anxious
heart to share the honor with his
leader, and after the few had been
chosen the others retired with disap-
pointment and chagrin that they were

OF our salvation is calling for volun-
tesrs to dangerous, difficult places, to
the sinking of the strongholds of sin,
but how few comparatively are re-

One minister to every $50 souls in
Christendom, one Christian to every

ENDURING AS GOOD SOLDIERS.

Thou therefore endure hardness as
a good soldier OF Jesus Christ - e.
Tim. 2:3.
The above exhortation seems in
opportune in this age, when people
everywhere are seeking comfort and
ease. This is busy, restless world
and the surging masses of humanity
are seeking something to satisfy tho
longing of their hearts, forgetting
that the source Of all true happiness
is IN Him who has put this yearning
within, which can only be satiated at
the fountain Of living waters.
Nothing earthly meets our longing,
Nothing here can satisfy,
But the love and grace of Jesus,
Meet and still each longing cry. -
The great founder of Methodism
said he was conte1t with whatever
entertainments he met with; and that
must have been the spirit Of all who
went with him. If dinner i'll

shower Of ratn or dirty road put
them out Of humor. it laid a burden
upon him greater than all the rest put
together. From the above we see Mr..
Wesley was very practical man,
putting his religion into the details
of life. Such were the teachings of
our great Leader, who by parallels and
illustrations brought us on plain
with the common place things of life,
and finally summed it up by saying :
