New York.-Col. Elihu lockwood.
for 40 years a well-known New York
photographer, dropped dead Monday in
his studio of valvular disease of the
heart, due to rheumatism resulting
from exposure in the Civil war.
Col. lockwood had the distinction
of having three times captured the IA
nous Confederate, Col John S. Mos
by. Both were Masons, and three
times Mosby was sG::> free after playing
poker all night with his captor.
Col. lockwood was good story
teller, and loved to tell how once, af-
ter he had captured Mosby, he won
ST 800 from him at poker. The next
moment Mosby got the wink and
slipped away. Once Mosby captured
Col. lockwood also, and there was
another poker game, and by daylight

WORKS FOR CIVIC PRIDE.
Excellent Scheme Devised by Mer-
chants of Western City.

A new scheme for arousing local
pride is being worked in an enterpris-
ing western city. The plan in brief
is, instead of attempting to vitalize
the civic spirit of the whole commu-
nifty, to organize clubs in different To-
calities and to clean up and light up
certain sections, without regard to
what may be done elsewhere. For in
stance, a club is organized in a
single block, and merchants, on each
side of the street are persuaded to
join. If it is desired to make the
block brilliant with light at night an
investigation is had to see how it can
be done, how much it will cost and
what it is worth. The plan has worked
80 sueeessfAllss that OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
springing up all over the same city to
devote their attention to cleaning or

1t is much easier to secure co-opera-
zion between 20 merchants than be-
tween 200, and the influence of the
few spreads in a widening circle

Paul Little Answers Rumors.

Paul Little, secretary to Acting Gov
ernor X. o. Pindall and son of Cover
nor John S. Little of Greenwood, Tues
day issued a statement to the effect
that his father would never be permit
ted by either his family Or physicians
to return to the office of governor of
Arkansas during the present term to
which he has been elected and, furth-
ermore, that rumors to the effect that
Governor Little was recovering at
such rapid rate that he intended to
return to his Office within the next 60
days were the work of state politi-
clans, who desired to gain votes and
profit in the present Democratic pri-
mary by the rumor.
Paul Titles statement, which was
issued Monday, was as follows:
March %, 1908.
ITO the Public-From communica-
lions and statements which Governor
and I are convinced that the various
reports concerning my fathers condi-
ton, which have recently appeared in
the public press are being circulated
for political effect throughout the
state 1t seems almost inhuman that
l should be expected to be constant
iy called upon to deny these false
rumors, concerning a matter in which
the people, the press, the politicians
and the public should at least consid-
er my feelings. My fathers unfor.
tunate condition is not political prop
erty, and no friend of mine, nor any
Just man would seek to use his condi-
ton for political advantage.
ITO a kind and generous public,
however, now that the matter has
again been brought up for discussion,
| desire to state for their satisfaction,
that though my father is greatly i'm
proved, and may, with the help of
Cod completely recover, yet he will
never be permitted by his family and
physicians to at any time again take
UP the arduous duties of the COVER
nor's Office during his present tenure
in that office. Very respectfully,
Paul Little"

BILLS FOR TROOPS DEFEATED
Warner and Foraker Measures to Re-
instate Soldiers of 25th Are Lost
in Senate Committee.

WashingtoH.-The five Democratic
members of the Senate Committee on
Military Affairs Tuesday succeeded in
defeating both the Warner and the
Foraker bills for the restoration to
duty of the negro soldiers of the
Twenty-fifth Infantry who were dis
charged without honor because of the
ARRAY at Brownsville, Tex. The sub
ject of the minority was accomplish
ed by voting as a unit against the di-
vided majority. The effect will be to
cause both bills to be reported adverse
ly. A majority vote of the Senate
would enact one of the bills, however,
and Senator Warner is hopeful that
his measure will yet become a law.
The essential point of difference be-
tween the two bills is that the War
ner measure provides that the presi-
dent may reinstate any soldier upon
becoming satisfied that he is inno-
cent of the charge against him, while
the Foraker bill compels the rein
statement of such soldiers if they take
an oath of their innocence.
When the committee met Tuesday,
Senator Warner moved to report his
bill favorably, whereupon Senator
Foraker moved to substitute The lat
ter motion was defeated, the five
Democrats, Messrs. Taliafiarro. Eos

Woman's Secret.

Every woman has secret that she
will not tell her neighbors. If she
is of the housekeeping kind of woman
1t is a secret connected with good
bread making, or a certain way of
testing jelly. Or maybe it is secret
whereby she can make coffee that her
neighbors despair of equaling. If she
is vain woman, it is a secret of
putting on face powder so that it does
not show, or the secret of making
some kind of lotion that will take off
