. CHAUDOIN SUES BANK
Seeks to Obtain Money Alleged to be De-
 posted to His Credit.

S. Chaudoin, who is now serv- ing a term in the penitentiary for embezzlement, has, through his at torneys, Bruce T. Bullion and Roy G. Bruce, filed suit against the Faulkner County Bank of this city for S42. 70, which he alleges to be deposited to his credit in this bank. The plaintiff alleges that his last statement from the bank shows the amount stated to be due him and when a check signed by him for this amount was presented to the bank payment was refused.
 The money in question is the balance of sum amounting to about SI2oo which Chaudoin deposited to his credit in the bank about a year ago, when he was i'll the em- ploy of the Spaudling Buggy Co. He drew out all except the balance mentioned and left for Cuba, where he was arrested by Pinkerton de- tective and brought here for trial under a charge of embezzlemet. The buggy company made the bank an idemnifying bond and drew what was left in the bank to Chaudoin's credit. When Chau- doin was placed on trial for the al legged embezzlement here, he was acquitted, and he now claims the balance which he left in the bank.
 The case will be tried before Justice of the Peace w. A. Ray next Monday.

STOLEN MULES RECOVERED
Lee Gateley in Jail Charged
 With Theft.
Team Belonging to H. Robinson of Woes ter Stolen and Taken to Little
 Rock and Found There

A team of mules belonging to H. Robinson, we'll known mer- chant of Wooster, hich was stol- en from his stable last Friday night, was recovered at Little Rock Tuesday and Lee Gateley of this county is ii jail charged with the theft.
 The mules were missed early Saturday and the circumstances pointed to the fact that they had been stolen. Mir. Robinson, as sisted by the county officers, at once began a search for them, and they were located Tuesday at Rein mans stable in Little Rock. The proprietors of the stable stated that they had been brought there by an unknown party, who asked that they be kept there until called for.
 Suspicion pointed to Gateley, and a warrant was issued for his arrest by Justice of the Peace w.. A. Ray of this city. Gateley was identified as the party who brought the mules to Reinman's stable. He claims, however, that another man, whose name he says is Smith, gave him the mules in Ar genta and paid him to take them to the Little Rock stable.
 Constable w. E. Clibourn brought Gateley up from Little Rock Tuesday night and placed him in jail here. His examining trial will be had before Esq. Ray Saturday.

COL, SIMMS MAY BE GOVERNOR
Candidate for Lieutenant Govern
 or of Arkansas.
Former Conway Man Seeks Office Which Would Probably Make Him Exec
 utive Head of the State.

When the legislature adjourns next May, a former Conway man, Col. John G. B. Simms of Lake Village, state senator from the fifteenth senatorial district of Ark ansas, may assume the duties of the office of governor of the state.
 Senator Simms is a candidate for the office of lieutenant governor. This office, usually regarded as merely one of honor, has, on ac- count of the serious illness of Gov ernor Little, has become one of great political importance. If MT. Little has not sufficiently recover ed to resume his duties by the ad- journment of the legislature, the senator chosen as lieutenant gov ernor will act as governor, just as President of the senate John Ike Moore is now doing.
 Senator Simms is opposed by two other candidates for the pos ition: Senator Otis T. Wingo of the twenty-second district and Sen ator J. Sam Rowland of the third district.
 The following sketch of Col. Simms in this connection was printed in Sundays Gazette:
 From the extreme southeast sec ton of the state comes a candidate for lieutenant governor in the per son of John G. B. Simms, one of the veterans of the legislative body. Senator Simms is a Virginian by birth, 6I years of age, lawyer, a Baptist and his home is at Lake Village, in Chicot county. He came to Arkansas at the age of fifteen, and short time later join ed the ranks of the Confederacy when the war between the states began. Company H of the seven teenth Arkansas infantry contained his name on it's roster from the be- ginning of the war until, at the surrender at Jackson, Miss. where the company disbanded and return- ed to civic duties.
 Senator Augustus H. Garland, former United States attorney gen. eral, took Senator Simms into his law office in 1868, and the latter had the benefit of this valuable as sociation during the years that fol- lowed until he was admitted to practice.
 In 1885 Senator Simms made his first political venture, running for the office of representative from Chicot county, and was successful. In the sessions.of 1889, 1891, and 1899 Senator Simms served as clerk of the house of representatives.
 Fifteen bills have been introduc ed in this session by Senator Simms, many of them by request.

ABOUT THE SIDEWALK LAW
A Few Explanatory Statements About
 Ordinance Recently Passed.

So many questions have been asked me during the past few days about the new sidewalk ordinance that take this means of explain ing some of its provisions.
 I. All sidewalk must be of Tagging or concrete, at least four feet wide. If of concrete it must be at least four inches thick and of standard grade and proportion. By standard" is meant the follow ing minimum proportion of Port land cement to other ingredients: part cement, 3 parts sand and $ parts crushed stone. The more cement used, the stronger the walk, and anything less than the above proportion, 1 learn from several good authorities, is not likely to prove satisfactory.
 ?. Every property owner affect ed by this ordinance will have to attend to the laying of his own walk, either by doing the work or contracting it to some one. The city will lay no sidewalks what ever.
 5. All owners of corner lots will be required to lay walk from the curbing or edge of the~ street grade. The city will put in the crossings at each corner to connect the walk across the street grade.
 4. For the benefit of those de- string to lay small amounts of Tagging the council has author ized the marshal to accept orders accompanied by he cash for flag ging and to order it from the quar- ries in carload quantities. No profit or commission will be charged for stone so ordered.
 E. No one need wait for his neighbor or anyone else to lay walk before beginning his own walk, fearing that the other will not be laid. At the expiration of ninety days from the passage of the ordinance I shall give twenty days notice in writing to all par ties who have not laid walk as re- quired, at the end of which time I shall let the contract for all walk not laid to the best bidder, as pro- vided by the ordinance. The walk will then be laid, and what ever litigation may arise afterwards, it will certainly not be taken up or destroyed.
 6. As nearly one-third of the time has already elapsed, I would advise all parties concerned to be- gin laying walk as early as possible.

TOSTOP DISORDERLY CONDUCT
New Ordinance Passed By City
 Council Tuesday.
Ordinance Making it Lawful to Operate Pool and Billiard Tables Introduc
 ed-0ther Business.

At meeting of the city coun- cil held Tuesday night and ordi- nance was passed to prohibit disor- derly conduct at or about any pulp lie gathering in the city. The or dinance makes 1t unlawful to dis turb by any loud or unsual noise or boisterous or profane language and church services or public as- semblage, and also .prohibits per- sons from congregating at or near the entrance to any place of public character wherein an audience is assembled.
 An ordinance making it lawful to operate pool or billiard tables in the city under license was intro- duced, read the first time and re- ferred to the judiciary committe. The operation of such tables is now prohibited by the city ordi- nanceS.
 The city marshal was instructed by the council to accept orders ac- companied by the cash for Tagging stone for sidewalk purposes. This was done in order that parties needing small amounts of the stone may get the benefit of car load freight rates.
 Accounts to tue amount of SIo6.- 50 for salaries and supplies were allowed by the council.

GOOD ROADS AND BAD DOGS

 Our Subscribers.

These Two SubJects Discussed by One O.
 Our Subscribers.
 Editor Log Cabin Democrat:
 As l am a subscriber to your paper, I want to ask space for z few words which I think should be interesting to some readers o your valuable paper.
 AS to roads, I will just say that we can't have good roads with ou, rock, plenty of rock in the wet places, and we have plenty of rock if it was just put in the right place. But it wasn't roads I wanted talk about-it was dogs. I hear some body say what sorry subject. I should be glad if our legislature would make it law for every man that kept more than one dog to pay tax, say S head. Let the head of every family keep one dog and all except one pay tax. There are too many dogs in the country. They kill sheep, catch and tear up peoples hogs in the woods, cause neighbors to fall out, cause proper ty to be destroyed unnecessarily. There is lots of bread fed to dog that would keep SOW and pigs living which might keep somebody from having to cook beans without bacon. Tax every extra dog $ and put it in the school fund. It would give the children more edu- cation, keep them out of mischief and when they started away from home maybe there would not be but one dog to follow. There is nothing in the woods to hunt for and if there was, the dogs raised in this community would not tree coon. Now 1 know what I am talking about. I am nearly 7c years old and notice some things tolerably close sometimes, but ] would like to have this subject given thought.

wv somehow it seems that of all
w Americas bards he is the

due to the fact that he. of all our elder

but it is hundred years Dec. II since
his birth For well nigh eighty-fve
years the poet dwelt In his native New
England, never betaking himself to
other parts Of the world, and now he
sleeps within the bosom of his own
adored Massach usetts. The other New
England poets were globe trotters from
time to time. Longfellow, Emerson,
Lowell, DR.. Holmes. all did the grand

abroad several times. Bryant spent

Whittier spent most Of his life. He
lived In that town for fifty-six years.
Though several other New England
places claim him as a resident for
briefer periods. Amesbury must be

it is fitting that the people Of that city
should celebrate his centenary by dedi-
eating a Whittier memorial. But that
