ONE A JOINT BILL
Charges Three Men With Murder in First Degree For Killing of W. E. NeEwen-Separate Indictments as to Godfrey Also Charge First De. gree Murder-.JurOrS Would Not Reconsider Action.

7 Rison. Ark, Dec. 12.--(Special to Graphic. 1.-The Cleveland county gand jury this morning made a re- port fin which it returned four true bltss against s. Bert Mccartney, W. | c, Cotton and J. J. Prince of Clio. charging them with murder in the first degree. Three of the true bills were returned as joint indictment against the trio Of accused men, charg- ing them with. the murder of w. R. MeEwen, the innocent bystander, a music 'tecaher who was shot to death k at the same time that Tom Godfrey ssy shot and killed. when the two, ;~ >fith Ciarenca, L. Bush, alighted from ] strain at Clio Monday night two weeks ago. Bush is believed to have been shot to death and because of the fact that his body has never been seen or the man heard from since, it is generally believed that after being assasshlated, he was made way with
 After returning the one joint in dictment, duplicating all of the three a separate indictment against each of , the men, Mccartney, Cotton and Prince, charging them with murder in the first degree for the killing of Tom Godfrey. No other indictments were returned against others mention ed in the triple tragedy in the past two weeks. Mrs. Bert Mccartney and Ed Richards were accused by the as sistant prosecuting attorney, George s. Brown, with being implicated in the shootings, but as yet the grand jury has returned no indictments against them Ii is rumored that the grand jury is still Investigating the charges against them, although some are inclined to believe that the four true bills pf this morning are all that will be reported in the Clio cases.
 Immediately after the indictments were returned McCartney, Prince and Cotton were arrested on bench war rants by Sheriff Ira Moore and taken to the county jail An effort will be made in the circuit court at Rison this afternoon to secure the release of the three men on bond, pending a hearing of their cases. They have not been set and because of this fact the attorneys for the State, T. Hayis Nix on of this city; Prosecuting Attorney Byron Herring of Warren, and Depu ty Prosecuting Attorney Brown of Ri- son will resist the granting of bail 10 the defendants.
 It is stated at Rison today that the indictments were returned by the grand jury against Mccartney, Prince and Cotton late yesterday afternoon and that Prosecuting Attorney Her ring drew them up last night. When they were presented in the grand jury

Hcrs III present, and the brute cnnno
speak. That is the most iiteous factor
Of the case
There is no concealment of the fact
that the training is apt To be hard and
painful, and a blow is not uncommon
from the most humane and patient
trainer, angered, it may be, by stupid
ty and characterization. If 1t is so
with the boy, what must it be with
the brute?
Possession HideOus.
There is no possession so hideOuS
rs. that of the triumph, even momen-
tarily, of cruelty. Touch ii child, a
horse or dog with q whip and there
is hideous sense of satisfaction, even
when the cause is righteous The joy
of inflicting pain is possible to the best
of us and grows by what it feeds on.
Imagine the situation between q
coarse vulgarian and helpless brute
and you get the process Of animal
training.
Il have never known a DISTINGUISHED
member of the circus community pre-
tend that the education of any animal
was pleasant TO the animal. and | have
known them 10 speak with horror Of
the methods of some trainers.
ut is not very long since an athlete
snatched the whip from a we'll known
dog trainer on the stage of London
variety theater and soundly thrashed
him amid the plauditS of the company
Another distinguished professor i:
blaclllisted by one of the largest syn
dicates for undisguised cruelty (of the
STAGE to his large and various family
Two OF our best known managers alb
solutely refuse to deal with animal
turns and make no concealment of
their reasons. And the editor. now de
ceased, OF an important professional
paper, for years refused to attend any
place of entertainment where dogs or
birds. or indeed any dumb creature
save conventional circus horses, ap-
peared
All these men knew what they were
about Most of the other performers
i'll Il music hall fight keep shy of the
animal trainers. The stage hands speak
with horror of what they see.
The mortality among performing
animals is perfectly awful. Ever so
many are hopelessly injured in the
process of education, and ever SO many
succumb to the dreadful life of nightly
performances.
Whenever case of cruelty by Il
performer comes before the courts one
is amazed by the ineptitude and fulfil
ity of the evidence.
The public is of course the main
culprit 1t wants the shows. ana man
ayers provide them, though they must
be conscious of the truth of all l have
written. They even assist in the un,
kindness. for the stabling and menag-
erie accommodations of some of our
largest establishments are insanitary
and inadequate in the extreme.
Il finish as begin. The cruelty of
animal training is almost impossible of
proof. Much Of it should be obvious.
and so much of my Indictment as Is
not to be proved by the obvious is not,
l solemnly affirm, based on desire to
be sensational or on idle gossip. but on
the dependable assurances of men and
women who dare not submit to public
citation"

THE SUGAR PLUM. +
1t Is the Most Ancient Candy, tAntedat-

The most ancient kind of candy Is the
sugar plum. 1t was the invention Of
Julius Dragatus. a noted Roman baker
and confectioner, who belonged to the
family of Fabius. According to the
New York Herald. it was in III r. G.
that he made the great discovery which
for twenty centuries has done so much
damage to teeth.
These bonbons. called drayati, after
their inventor (dragees in French. re-
manned the exclusive privilege of the
family of Fabius But at the birth or
marriage of one of that family a great
distribution of dragati took place as a
sign of rejoicing. The custom is still
observed by many of the nobility of
Europe
The pastille is of far later origin.
having been invented and introduced
into France by an Italian cOnfectioner.
the Florentine. John Pastilla, a pro.
teSe of the Medicis. When Maria de-
Medici married Henry ". of France,
Pastilia accompanied his sovereign to
the French court where his bonbonS
had tremendous vogue Everybody
wanted the Florentines pastilles, which
were excellent. He made them with
all kinds of flavors- chocolate, coffee.
rose, violet, mint, wine, strawberry.
raspberry, vanilla, heliotrope and car
nation.
Burned almonds are purely of French
origin, owing their inception to the glut-
tony of a certain French merchant.
One day Marshal Duplessis- Pralin. an
old gourmet, sent for Lassagne, who
had already invented many tooth
some dainty, to concoct a new bonbon
for him. Lassagne searched, reflected,
combined, until finally he conceived a
delicious bonbOn, which he baptized

THE ROMAN ANGARIA.
Ancient Postal System That Came
Down From the Persians,

The carefully organized postal sys-
TEN of today is of course more COM
plete than the angaria of the ancient
Romans, yet their mail travelled with
considerable speed.
The system of angari, or couriers on
horseback, was borrowed from the Per-
SANS, who, according to Zenophon, had
established it under Cyrus the Elder
The Roman adaptation of it was the
best system of transmitting letters
among the ancient states.
All along the great Roman roads
houses were erected at a distance of
five or six miles from each other. Al
each of these stations forty horses
were constantly kept and by the helm
of relays it was easy to travel hun
dred miles in a day.
