JOHN DOW Is NO MORE
Negro Who Killed His Wife at
Sulphur Rock Last Spring
Pays Death Penalty.

John Dow was hanged at Bates
vile Tuesday morning shortly af-
tel II O'Clock. The execution
took place about mile south of
the Jail, the spot being enclosed by
Il closely constructed Is foot fence.
Dow was baptized Sunday by
Rev. Powell, pastor of the A. NJ.
&. church, who visited him daily
and who accompanied him to the
scaffold, continually offering him
spiritual consolation and nerving
him up to the point where he ex-
pressed himself as resigned to his
fate.
Only 20 persons witnessed the
execution, and the condemned
man IS said to have been the cool
est person on the scaffold. He
spoke briefly after his pastor had
offered prayer, saying that he
was not afraid to die and was being
sustained by Gods grace. He re-
quested the reporters to be sure to
state that he did not collapse.
Notwithstanding the fall was 10
feet inches, Dow's neck was not
broken and death resulted from
strangulation. After hanging 20
minutes he was pronounced dead.
The crime for which Dow paid
the extreme penalty was the MUIR
der of his wife at Sulphur Rock
last April, the details of which are
familiar to readers of The Journal.

HEAD END COLLISION
Two Freight Trains Collide at Diaz
Sunday Evening No
Lives Were Lost.

Through freight trains 90 and 30
collided head-on just south of the
i'll fated Diaz curve Sunday after
noon at $50 O'Clock and as a re-
suit both engines and six cars Of
freight were badly wrecked. No
lives were lost, and the injuries
were few and not serious. Brake
men Parker and Bullock were the
most badly hurt, the former hav-
ing his shoulder bruised and thelat-
ter his head skinned. 1t is alleged
that train No. 80 had orders to
take the siding at Campbell for No.
So, and it is also said that Eng in
eer Fink and Conductor Hall
failed to make note of this, and
their train was making 30 miles an
hour when it rounded the Diaz
curve and crashed into the train
No. 90. The crews on both en-
gines jumped. A. J. Steer was

$50, 900 FIRE AT NEWPORT.

Newport, Feb. q. - With a
veritable March gale blowing, a
fire broke out at l O'Clock this
morning in the leading business
block of this city and but for the
heroic work of the fire department
every store in the block would have
burned and probably that entire
section of the business district.
Two store buildings were des-
troyed, that of Frank Brothers
shoe store, where the fire origi
mated, and Bailey Bros. saloon, the
loss being estimated at $50, 900.
The fire was marked by several
explosions, which rent the ceilings
of several contiguous stores and
are supposed to have been caused
by the ignition of escaping gas
which had accumulated between
the ceiling of the ground story
and the floor of the second.
Virgil Graham, who was sleep
ing in a room over Bailey Bros.
did not awaken until the floor was
in flames and barely escaped with
his life

A CHANGE OF BUSINESS
Oldest Mercantile Company i'm
This Part of the State Now
in Banking Business

The Theodore Maxfeld Bank
and Trust Company, of Batesville~
which filed an amendment to it's
articles of incorporation February
Bird, and by which its name is
changed from the Theodore Max
field Company, is now open for
business, being authorized under
the law to operate bank and
trust company.
This concern was founded by
Uriah Maxfeld in 1865 and his son.
Theodore Maxfield, succeeded to-
the mercantile business after his
fathers death in 1868. In the
course of a few years the business
was changed into partnership
known as Theodore Maxfield IL
Bros, under which name it was
known until Incorporated in 1903
as the Theodore Maxfield Com
pany.
The concern has now been in I'M
interrupted operation for fl years
and has gradually increased from
most modest beginning, with
virtually no capital, to a place
among the foremost and strongest
financial institutions in North Ark
ansas.
While incorporated with a cap
ital of $4,000 at the time of dis
continuing the mercantile business,
it enjoyed rating of from S125.
600 to 100000 with the most
prominent mercantile agencies and
was rated with the highest
grade credit.
The company, during its many
years of business in this section.
has accumulated an amount of ex-
perience in Judging credits, and is
SO well known Throughout all North
Arkansas as being entirely respon-
sible, that it should be able to con-
tinue its former success in its now
broadened field of operation.
Mr.. Theodore Maxfield was one
of the incorporators of the Peo-
piles Savings Bank, which was lat
er changed to the First National
Bank of Batesyille, and during his
connection with it never missed u
directors meeting and was an inn
portant factor in contributing to
the success of the institution. He
recently resigned to devote his en-
tire time and attention to the COM
pany bearing his name.
The name Maxfeld is not only
familiar throughout Northeast
Arkansas, but there is probably no
business institution in the entire
state more favorably known a.
broad.

Democrats at Fort Scott Have
Political Chills.
ssGrand OPENING Proved to be
Almost a Fizzle.
;0L. HARRIS GREATLY DISCOURAGED
RefOrmer from Chicago Making
No Headway.
People Refuse to Enthuse Over
Imported Candidates.

Topeka, July 11.-One of the things
which has taken the enthusiasm out
of the democratic leaders was the
grand opening" of the democratic
campaign at Fort Scott This was
such a lamentable failure from the
standpoint of numbers in attendance
that even the newspapers friendly to
the democratic cause failed to attempt
to give the attendance figures. The
opening was in a hall which would
accommodate 5000 people and there
never were more than 200 in the
building at one time Everything had
been done to bring a big crowd to
the meeting. The size of the county
convention had been trebled, making
600 instead of the usual 200 delegates
and invitations had been scattered
broadcast throughout the state for
leading democrats The Fort Scott
band was employed to furnish music
and bring crowd and it played in
front of the building for 80 minutes
after a street parade. Despite these
attempts to swell the crowd, the
street fair in progress on an adjoining
democratic opening
Col. Harris is said to be very much
discouraged by the showing that
has been made. The democratic
leaders promised hn before he was
nominated that the people would
make his campaign for him and that
he need not concern himself except
tC make plans to spend a day or two
in the state toward the end of the
campaign. Immediately after the
nomination had been made, however
the people lost interest in the i'm
ported candidate and left the cam
paign to him. He has called on his
supporters for an understanding of
the situation and says that he will
give up the fight at once If the pro-
missed support of the leaders is not
given him.

TIBBLES TALKS.
Charges Harris with Opposition to
w. j. Bryan.

Topeka, July 11.-Thomas Tibb1es,
of Nebraska, two years ago the pop
ulist candidate for vice president, who
was in Topeka to attend the populist
state convention, expressed the pop
rlist distrust of Harris and his
crowd of silk stocking democrats in
a terse and open way that is worry
ing the democrats greatly. He said:
Col Harris may protest all he
pleases that he never said that he
did not want Bryan to come into this
state to speak. but we fellows living
in Nebraska know better. We have
bad it intimated to us several times
that Senator Harris and his friends
in this state had no use for Bryan
and that they did not want him or
any other man who is his friend to
come into this state to assist in the
campaign. We know this man Har-
ris well. He is a natural aristOcrat.
He has nothing in common with the
men who have been behind for years.
He is playing the part in this state
of a southern aristocrat and believes
that he belongs with the upper class
'fThe people are not yet prepared
to support that sort of a man very
enthusiastically. He may deny until
he is black in the face, but we Bryan
men OF Nebraska know that he is
opposed to Bryan and opposed to all
that Bryan stands for. We remember
that he opposed Hearst and fought
for Parker in the state convention
-vo years ago. He says now that he
was not for Parker. but he seems to
have an impeachment in his veracity
or to believe that we have short MEM
cries"

Boys, here is the best argument
against drink, You cannot take
lite without taking more. Here is a
true story, and there are thousands
of similar cases the country over.
A man in a neighborsng town had
position at $3.50 month for one of
the big corporations of the country.
The man was such fine workman
and so genuinely reliable that his
company never even had him checked
up. But the man got to taking a
drink on cold mornings TO warm him
up. Then he got to taking another
to give him an appetite. To this
were gradually added mornings
morning" 'night-cap" and various
other drops for every hour in the day.
OF course his Company found it out
The mans affairs were straight, but
no one wants drunkard in his en-
ploy, however straight he may be
otherwise. The mans handsome
home is now for rent. lie is living
with his wife's folks while. he CLOCKS
around for something to do" But
the man is all in, no one VIII even let
him clean an alIey.-Sabetha Herald.

MISSOURI IDEA.
Ridiculous Suggestion TINT HOch II
With Rockefeller.

Topeka, July Ill see that the
Kansas City Star is now trying to
make it appear that Gov. Hoch is
hooked up with Rockefeller" said a
prominent Kansan the other day. "Of
course it's object in doing this is 10
try and hurt Hoch with the people
of the state, but it will not get very
far with its scheme. The people OF
Kansas know that Gov. Hoch was
standing up scrapping Mr.. Rockefel-
Ter and his Standard Oil trust before
the Kansas City Star had discovered
that Rockefeller and the Standard
had horns. 1t would not surprise
some people if it developed that the
Star was using the Rockefeller talk
in order to beat Hoch il the inter-
ests of Rockefeller
