MEETINGS STILL CONTINUE
AT THE BAPTIST CHURCH

A good audience greeted Evangel-
ist Bledsoe at the Baptist church last
night as he preached in his earnest
and direct way upon The Dangers of
Trining With the Words Of Christ"
He took for his text: See that ye
refuse not him that speaketh. For if
they escaped not when they refused
him that warned them on earth, much
more shall not escape who turn away
from him that warneth from heaven"
He said God speaks to men in
many ways, In times past he spoke
10 Abraham and Moses by heavenly
residents and dreams But now he
speaks 20 Us by his Son.
The voice Of Jesus speaks TO US in
the bible, Gods word, and in the
preaching Of the ministry. He speaks
10 US by life and example Of Christian
people. He speaks in the Sunday
school by the teacher and in the home
by a g0dly father and mother. He
speaks 10 the heart by the Holy Spirit.
TO reject these messengers is 10 re-
jcct the word Of God Almighty, the
only hope for this life and the life to
come.
After the service Rev. A. NJ. Mel
drum and Dr Ford spoke warmly and
most interestingly 10 all on the i'm

FLED WITHOUT BOOTY
Wrecked the Bank at Racket, Ark, But Fled Before Getting Any
 Money.

Bank robbers made an attempt to rob the bank at Racket, 50 miles north of Mena in Sebastian county yesterday morning; and while doing a great deal of dam age to the bank, did not get any booty.
 The robbers are supposed to have been three in number and to be portion of the same gang of yeggmen that has been operating through Kansas, Missouri, Okla homa and along the western bor- der of Arkansas all winter.
 The robbers evidently used a heavy charge of nitro-glycerine in tue safe and succeeded in wrecking it. The explosions at tracted so muck attention that he robbers became frightened aud fled before they had opened the inner doors of the safe.
 The safe was so badly injured that the inner doors could not be opened yesterday morning.
 The attempt to blow the safe was made shortly after midnight. It is thought the robbers made their escape to Jenson aud there caught south bound train.
 The Bank of Hackett carried burglar insurance and will lose nothing by the attempt, except the inconvenience that will arise from the damage sustained by the building and to the safe.

CONVICT KILLED BY CAvE-IN.
Precipitated 150 Feet Into Ravine and
 Covered With Earth.

Little Rock, May 1.-While engulfed in working near the top of ledge at the rock crusher operated by convicts in the vicin- ity of Big Rock, across the river, Felton McCarroll, negro con- vict, was precipitated to the bottom of the bluff, 150 feet be- low, and his life crushed out by the mass of stone and earth that overwhelmed him,
 There were six other negroes working with McCarroll and they were apparently on safe ground. Suddenly the surface gave way, and before any aid could be ex- tended from either convicts or from the guard In charge McCar- roll fell headlong into the ravine below, A mass of earth and stone Doosened by previous efforts of the men, went tumbling after the unfortunate man, and together with the terrific force of the fall, caused him practically instant death.
 McCarrolls companions were enabled to catch sufficient hold to save themselves from falling and were'shortly rescued from their perilous position, sustalning nc injuries beyond a hair-raising fright.

TO STOP LIQUOR SHIPMENTS.
Old Indian Territory Treaty Cause of
 Action Against Railroads.

Ardmore, Ok, April 2s.-At- torney General Charles West to. day filed an injunction suit in the district court of Carter county against sixteen railroads and ex- press companies in the state to restrain them from carrying liquor shipments into that state formerly known as the Indian Territory.
 The suit is based upon an agree ment between the railroads and the Federal government, made prior to statehood, when the rail- roads and express companies agreed not to bring liquor into Indian country.
 The Indian treaties with the Federal government provides that intoxicants should never be sold in the Indian country even after the lands had been open to settle ment. The state, according to the attorney general, agreed in the acceptance of the enabling act to respect all treaties made by the Federal government with the Indian citizens of the state.

THE SAFE RETURN
 OF THE WANDERERS
The Polk County Delegates Arrive Home Safe and Sound-A Good Time Experienced During the Trip
 Declared for Taft.
Sic semper tyrannis,
 By the nine gods they swore That the Mena Republicans

Should suffer wrong no more.
 After most eventful trip. politi- cal, social and otherwise, the Polk county delegation to Hot Springs, consisting of George Legate, G. w. Petty, Dr. c: c. Gunnels and s. P. Wadlow returned home Friday from the scene made memorable by two events, namely instructing for Taft and adopting the statewide prohibition plank. On both of these propositions the Polk statesmen were unanimous. They voted against in- structing for Taft, claiming that it was not within the province of a state to instruct when that state had no hope of delivering its electoral vote for the candidate indorsed. The colored contingent in the convention stood solid with the Polk folks on that proposition and when Legate moved that the instruction clause be laid on the table he at once became the hero of the darkies and if they had had a majority of the votes in the convention, Legate would have been placed at the head of the ticket for governor, instead of the erst- while. leader of forlorn hopes, Warrington. Had that event been realized then Mena would have been in the fullness of her glory, Nor wood the apple of our eye" on the Democratic state ticket and Legate the ''hail fellow well met" heading the opposition. And right here demonstrates where Mena needs a brass band, for had lightning struck the Hone, forlorn pilgrim" of the senate, where could we have gotten together enough tooters to make his return memorable
 MT. Petty says that the trip was full of incidents and accidents-full of pleasure and source of rest from the busy turmoil of business. In going overland the delegates struck three tornadoes the other side of Womble and were compelled to cut through one of them, although the roads were made almost impossible by being crossed with fallen trees. When we finally arrived at Hot Springs" said Dr. Gunnels, Eve found the city full to overflowing, and we also found that Powell Clay ton had several packs of cards uI his sleeves and played them to the queens taste. However, for the first time in the political history o1 Arkansas the one-armed statesman from Eureka Springs and Washing ton could not control the negro votes in the convention.
 MT. Wadlow says the trip was the event of his life and he had more fun to the square inch than he had ever experienced. He says that when the Polk county delegates marched to their seats in the con. vention hall, by a coincidence the band struck up the tune They Are Jolly Good Fellows"
