NEW ORDINANCES PASSED

At meeting of the city coun- cil Tuesday night two new ordi- nances were passed, one raising the value of days work on the streets from fifty cents to one dol lar, and one prohibiting playing ball, or throwing missiles on the streets.
 An ordinance passed several years ago provides that all male citizens between the ages of 21 and 45 shall be required to work four days on the streets, but provided that those who so desired could pay fifty cents for each day in lieu thereof. The result of this was that few worked, and the town had to hire labor on the streets at from S1 to S1 9 day, which was losing proposition to the town, and hereafter those who do not work will be required to pay S1 a(day.

Newark Independence County Arkansas, Friday,

reed reply to the artickel heded "Spat," and was supposed to have been written by sum member uth- CT than a minister. This seemed to kunfurm the idee with my pal that there was little virtue and no consistency in this thing called re- hgion, anyway. and he sed we mite as we'll go on at the gate we started and have a good time the rest of our days. He scanned to think we would have to fite our way thru to our destinashun, even tho we iined either church. He scanned to have his mind thurly sot in regard to this matter and 1 thout for the longest that I wood never be able to fotch him over this objecshunable feechur.
 Now, 1 am frank to confess that l was not very well pleased with the situwashun, fer accordin to my pint of vew, the baptizen is treeted as sorter of side lsne rath- CT than as an essential by both churches enyway, and l couldn't see why the pot wanted to call the kittle black. So just between us 7 we came to a mutual agreement that we wood postpoan our iinin to a later date and await further de- velopment of the spat. Yours fer piece and good vii.

BAD EFFECTS OF RELIGIOUS STATS
A Reader Tells of Experience With ;, His Pal Caused From Read
 ing Religious Spats
To The Newark Journal:


 See hear editor, me and my pal have been reedin your breazy lit tie paper for sum 12 munths, and have long sence decided it's the best all round nues glitter in the wurld. And, by-the-way, the most interestin thing that we have ever red in any paper is the spat now goin on in The Journal be- tween to ministers of the Gospel and uthers.
 Now, as me an Pal are just com- min old sinners, and can hardly ketch on to the teachin of the Cos pei as 1t is taut by preachers, we wood like to ast the editor of this paper flu questions pertainin to the lacks in the matter
 What are they fitin fur! And @show will one no when he's got the other feIler licked!
 Me and my pal sorter thout the schurch is an institushun where one mite jine and live in piece with his fellermen ferever. So my pal suggested to me the uther day that while we haint never been desper- adose, yet have we neether lived religious or plus life, that all that wuz nesusary wuz that we fess up, jine sum church and to Iced bet ter life. Says l, agreed pal, and what church shall we iine!" Says he, Il had never given this part of the subject a thout, but 1 am trooly glad yu menshund it, for shore we do not want to go into this or any uther thing bIindfold- ed:''
 As l am considerably older than my pal, tuk the Iced right hear, and began to name the different denominashuns to which we might jine without any hurtin to our konshence.
 So, after d long and heeted dis kushun as to the different denomi- nashuns, their rulins, and the diff ferent ways in which they take feller in, we had about desided to split the ticket and that my pal wood jine the Baptists and that 1 wood jine the Methodists. Every thing swuz goin nicely and we wuz very much Inflated over the fack that we had decided to quit our wrong doins and be liners of the church, but, alas In a recent is- sue of The Journal my pal noticed an artickel headed "Spat," and upon investigashun we learned that sure nuf spat was on be- tween these two churches as to how they would baptize us, and how in the land did they know we was even thinking of jining the churchl
 My pal red this to me with mutch interest, and finally gave a long sy of releaf and sed, Just as l expected; there is not mutch to it eny way"
 I knu 1t wood never do to let him think of this thing in this lite else he wood go squar back on the deel. So l suggested that we talk a fu days putin where everything wood be piece and quietude; and thout shurely this wood give the ministers time to git every pint of dispute settled ere we teturnd.
 Twas not so. For, upon our arrivel the fust thing my pal dun was to secure the last issue of The Journal and begin to scan the hedlines that attraekted his atten-

MUST HAVE MORE LABOR.
Arizona and New Mexico to Take Steps
to Relieve Situation.

To throw down the bars for a tide
of immigration of Mexican laborers
across the Arizona and New Mexico
border to relieve the pressing de-
mand for laborers in the two ter
ritories, the railroads, jointed by the
banks, mines and leading institutions
of Arizona and New Mexico are pre-
pairing petition to the secretary of
commerce and labor.
The petition asks that the rigid
enforcement of the immigration laws
which is observed at present be re-
Taxed.
1t asks that nearly all restrictions
save that of health be removed in
order that a sufficient number of
Mexicans to do the work that is now
lying idle for the want of men may
be admitted.
| For some time the railroads, es-
pecially the Southern Pacific and
the Santa Fe, have been short of
laborers and have been unable to
carry on work of improvements and
extensions in the two territories.
The mines and other institutions
have likewise suffered.
Upon request of the railroads of
the two territories the immigration
department some months ago relaxed
the inspection at the border and adj
mitted thousands of Mexicans, but
many of these have returned after
accommodating small sum of money,
while others have gone farther
north.
After a short while the bars were
put up again and the law, which re-
quires that a Mexican shall have
sufficient money to pay his way to
his destination and imposes other
rigid regulations, is now being en-
forced.
AS it would be violation of the
alien labor laws for the railroads to
provide the Mexicans with money to
carry them to the points where they
are to work, this condition excludes
many from entering, although the
law is believed to have been violated
almost openly, by railroads and other
corporations, so great has been the
demand for labor in the territories.
The petition, which is being circu-
lated and will be forwarded to the
department of commerce and labor
is signed by railroad officials, heads
of mining companies, corporations,
| factories and banks and financial
institutions of both territories.
1t is estimated that 10000 more
| laborers can be used on all kinds of
work in Arizona and New Mexico
and capitalists and others interested
in the development of the territories
see in the admission of the Mexican
workmen the only hope of the early
solution of the problem.

Ranger Says Did Not Beat Mitchell Boy

Ranger Epperson, who was charged
last week with having brutally
treated young man of the name of
Mitchell at ella Bend, and to get the
straight of which Lieut.. Wheeler
has been conducting an investigation
in that section of the territory,
denies that he was brutal in his treat
ment of Mitchell.
He says that following the boys use
of vile name towards him, he slap
ped Mitchell twice. His statement
in the case is more or less supported
by affidavits secured about ella Bend
by Lieut.. Wheeler.
Mitchell maintains that his story is
true, however and says that affidavits
are of little consequence in the case
treatment of him occurred over a
mile from the town with no one in
sight other than himself and the
ranger.
Lieut.. Wheeler stated at Phoenix
that he has the affidavits of a large
namber of ella Bend people who take
oath that they saw what occurred,
and that Ranger Epperson did not
mistreat the boy in the manner
alleged.
Mitchell denies that he called Ep-
person any name, still claiming that
he was beat up by the officer.
One thing positively established is
that when Mitchell came to Phoenix
he had two black eyes and two cuts,
one of which could not have been
caused by even half a dozen slaps
That he was beaten up, there is no
doubt, but whether Epperson did it
or not is question of fact.
With Epperson denying the assault,
his statements being substantiated
by a large number of ella Bend peo-
pie, Mitchell states that he realizes
the weight of evidence against him,
but he still sticks to his story as he
told 1t the first day he arrived in

MEMCANS FRIENDS OF AMERICANS
Visiting Miner in Los Angeles
Says there Will be no
Uprising.

CHARTERED at the Natick hotel in
Los Angeles, is Edward Holland, an
Irishman by birth, who has lived in
Mexico so long that he says he has
almost forgotten his mother tongue,
and he emphatically denies that
there is any animosity against Amer
leans there.
81 first went to Sonora, Mex, in
1871, and have been in Mexico ever
since, and want to say that there is
absolutely nothing in this report.
'The date is Mexico's national
holiday, corresponding oyour Fourth
of July. 1t is day of fireworks, big
feeds and speeches. 1 have heard
those speeches for the last thirty
years and in all that time 1 have
meyer heard an unkind work of an
American or other foreigners who
are willing to come to Mexico to
spend their money in the develop
ment of the mines or industries, nor
will any such words be heard on Sep.
TENDER 16.
"Why, when first went to Mexico,
the miners used to be paid in a par
eel of corn and potatoes for their
days work. and were mighty glad to
get that. 1t was not until American
and English capital arrived that
they were paid in coin instead of corn,
and l am sure this fact is understood
by the Mexicans.
"This wild rumor has simply grown
out of the strike at Greene's camp
in Cananea, where the Mexican min
ers walked out because the Ameri-
can workmen were being paid in
gold when they were only getting
what we call Mex or Mexican money,
for their labor. 1 have discussed
this very thing with $50 men whom
| employ and told them frankly that
it took three Mexicans to do the
work of one American and that their
services were not worth gold coin
to me. 1 told them so forcibly that
they understood and are still work
ing.
"The same trouble has sprung up
through small strike on the Mex
lean Central railroad within the last
few days, but it will be settled i'm
mediately, tor the authorities of
Mexico admit that the demand is not
reasonable, and the Mexican author
tiles, let me tell you, are warm
f~-.A e
sions of the government are liberal
and all possible protection of Amer
lean interests is given.''
