SLAUGHTER OF DEER.
Animals Fleeing From High Water are Ruthlessly Killed
 by Hundreds of Hunters.

The high waters in the St. Francis and L'Anguille river bottoms has driven thousands of deer to Crowley Ridge, and there tired out from the long swim, and in strange woods, they are being killed by the hundreds. Hunters are coming from a distance, bringing trained dogs, to join with the local Nimrods in the quick de- struction of the game.
 Each day regular armies of men and boys, armed with every pattern of tirearm up to the Improved Spring field, flock to the hills until it is said it is actually dangerous to be in the woods. Returning hunters declare the noise from the multitude of shots re- sembles the fire of musketry in a battle. Whites and blacks are neg lecting their work to attend the slaughter.
 The frightened and tired animals have little chance to escape once they are scented by any of the numerous packs of dogs that are in the woods every day. Every few hundred yards as he runs, he is the target for bull let, until he falls dead, plugged with steel -jacketed bullets, Soft-nosed bull lets, bird shot, nails and slugs of va- rious kinds. There is no escape and as the army advances they make a clean sweep of every deer that takes refuge on the highland. One party at Levesque last Friday killed nine, and it is said there were tifty-four killed there that day.
 There is no sport to the hunting, for it does not take hunter to kill them, and there are people proudly bringing in big bucks that never killed anything before in the game line bigger than cotton-patch rabbit, and he was caught in the snow. With continuous running the deer are be- coming poor, and their ability to pre- serve themselves lesSens, which will probably result in their extermina- tion in this section of the country be- fore the water recedes and they can return to their secluded haunts.- Wynne BladeDemocrat.
 All of which is sin and shame, and ought to be stopped. The legisla- ture would serve these persons right, if it would make a close season of five years on deer; and We hereby call the attention of any and all of our friends in either house of the general as- sembly to do so.

COld.Blooded Murder.

Coroner Todd was summoned Sat urday to Heth, station on the Choc- taw, about twenty miles east of For rest City, to hold an inquest on the body of negro named R. N. Ussery, who resided at Egypt.
 From the evidence Ussery was at lieth on a hunting expedition, and on Friday night about o'clock he left the house in which he was staying, to care for his horses, and while in the act of feeding his stock, was shot by some one concealed behind an out house. The ball entered in his breast near the left arm, passed throuh his heart, and lodged in the muscles under his right arm.
 The murderer was tracked some little distance, but there was no evi- dence adduced at the inquest to jus tify the arrest of any one. The negro was comparatively unknown at Heth, and the supposition is that it was a case of mistaken identity, and that the bullet was intended for another person.
 Coroner Todd went over to Heth again Monday, but secured no evidence.

BASE BALL
Enthusiastic Meeting of Citi- Zens Portends Strong
 Organization.
STOCK COMPANY PROPOSED

In response to call from Manager J. G. Sanders, published in the press of Forrest City, quite gratifying number of base ball enthusiasts met last Friday night at ]. S. Shields & Co.'S drug store, and proceeded to dis cuss plans and ways and means for a strong organization in business like and very sincere manner.
 MT. John c. Bell, was chosen chair man of the meeting, which was called to order at S:45, and MT. ]. w. Moore was chosen as secretary.
 After quite number had expressed their ideas of the proper procedure and the same had been informally dis cussed, a motion was made, seconded and unanimously adopted that joint stock company be organized and in- corporated, the capital stock to be 5000.
 This seemed to be happy solution of the perplexing question of funds, and all present agreed that there was no doubt that the seasons business would pay handsome dividend on the investment if properly managed.
 On motion being duly made and carried, the chair appointed com mittee to investigate the prospects of securing good and convenient grounds and to make general inquiries as to the probable encouragement which the public might give the proposed stock company in the way of sub, scriptions to its capital, said com. mittee to report it's findings and con, clusions to another general mass meet. ing of citizens to be held Friday night January p, 1907, (which is tonight. The committee is composed of Mr. T c. Folbre, IT,, Dr. L. H. Merritt, Mir Preston Buford, and MT. John C. l Bell.
 The meeting then adjourned tc meet at the city hall promptly at o'clock, at which time it is earnestly hoped and expected that all persons who are interested in the national game and the pleasure of our citizen. ship through the hot and dull summer months will attend, and by their | presence and influence aid and assist in this greatly to be desired con- summation
 Concert of action and enthusiastic interest will do much. Don't forget the time, place and date of the meet ing tonight, and be certain to be on hand.
 Forrest City has the material for the best amateur base ball team in Eastern Arkansas, and it will be easy to organize the team if they are en- couraged by financial backing. Suc- cessful base ball is just like any other business-it requires capital, which if properly handled will increase. We want to see Forrest City have the strongest and best organization in Eastern Arkansas this season, and we want to see a season of fine games on the local diamond.
 Don't you?

wholesome tobacco produced, with
just enough sweetening to preserve
the mild, juicy. stimulating quality of
the leaf tobacco. Expert tests prove
that this fue cured tobacco, grown
in the famous Piedmont region, re-
quires and takes less sweetening than
any other and has a wholesome,
stimulating, satisfying effect on
chewers.
If the tobacco you are chewing
don't satisfy you more than the mere
habit of expectorating, stop fooling
yourself and chew Schnapps tobacco.
Schnapps is like the tobacco chewers
formerly bought costing from 75c.
to $I.oo per pound; Schnapps IS
sold at soc. per pound. in SC. cuts,
strictly Ioc. and I5c. plugs.

Hundreds Of imitation brands are

plugs Of tobacco is flue cured the same

with cheap, flimsy, heavily -weetened

Schnapps will satisfy tobacco hunger

bacco. The color, size and shape
of the tags, plugs and packages of
certain imitation brands Of tobacco
have been made so much like

WILL NOT FIGHT RATE LAW.

Railroads Decide Not to Fight Two.
Cent Fares In Any Of States.
Chicago, April %. - The railroads
have abandoned their plan to contest
in the courts the new laws and the
rulings of the railroad commission Of
Minnesota, making important reduc
lions in freight and passenger rates
At meeting here of passenger off,
Gals of all the important lines in Min
nesota steps were taken to bring all
their rates in that state within the
law and the orders of the commission
No More Special Rates.
On one thing the passenger off1ciall
were unanimously decided, and that Is
that the highest rate they can lawfully
make will also be the lowest rate they
will make voluntarily. There will be
no more special rates for clergymen
or others engaged exclusively in reli-
gious work or for state and county
fares, reunions, conventions or other
events attracting large attendance.
How They Will Get Even.
The abandonment Of the fight
against the reduced rate laws Of Min
nesota makes it practically certain
that the railroads will not fight in the
courts similar laws recently passed by
other states. Instead they will retail
ate by making the minimum fare for
everybody on all occasions the maxi.
mum rate fixed by law.
