The Night Rider Scare

A report reached town yester-
day to the effect that night riders
visited the cotton firm of Fender d
James, near Holmes, in the edge of
Randolph county, last Wednesday
and warned them not to buy any
more seed cotton. These alleged
"riders" were several in number and
were supposed to have come from
near Alicia, in Lawrence county.
We wish to inform our readers that
many Of the reports of "night rid
ing in Arkansas have been exag-
gerated, although several threats
have been made and two or three
gins burned down. The Farmers
Union, in session at Pocahontas
last Saturday, condemned such law
lessness, and we believe with level
heads working against it, the scare
in this county will soon dwindle
into insigniticance.

After The Night Riders

Jonesboro, Oct. 3.-The grand
jury here has, for the past few days,
been investigating the might rider
situation in Craighead county, and
several newspaper men have been
among those examined. They
were given orders relative to
the publishing of such reports as
way fall into their hands.
At the Eastern district court,
which is to be held in three weeks,
many sensational d Dings are expect
ed in regard to the matter, as the
alleged bands in Craighead county
are operating in the Eastern bot
toms.
Whether they are mere boys of
the communities endeavoring to
have fun, or the real cotton night
riders, the courts are to distinguish
which, and settle the matter. II
the so,called "iokerS" can be found,
they will undoubtedly receive heavy
punishment.
Innumerable reports are coming
to the city of warnings received
from night riders, and it is reliably
reported that two gins in the eastern
part of the county have suspended
operations OH account of threaten
ing letters received by the owners.

The Germans of Arkansas com
memorated the landing of the first

The parade which passed over the

children and prominent Germans of
Altus, Coal Hill, Pocahontas, Stutt-
gart, Corning, Atkins, Fort Smith,
Pine Bluff, Hot Springs, Helena
and other points participated in the
parade. American and German
colors predominated all along the
line of march and the procession
was headed by American and Ger
man flags.
Pocahontas was represented by
the following prominent German
citizens: Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. De
Clerk, Mr.. and Mrs. II. a Peters,
Mr. and Mrs. Henry Gsch wend,
Rev. Jos. FeoiJznelon, Joseph Jan
sen, Henry Meier, aud Jos. Declerk.

Renew old AcquaintanceS

An, excellent chance to get ac-
quainted with the celebrated char
acters of the ''Two Orphans, or to
renew your acquaintance if you have
seen this masterpiece, will be given
at the opera house, Saturday, Oc-
tober 10, when the Fred G. Conrad
Company will pres mt the play.
The characters in this play stand
pat like those of Dickens Novels
and the famous drama has all the
molodramatic power of a dozen
strong novels. If you have never
seen the blind girl of the "Two Or
phans," made celebrated by Kate
Claxton, or the cripple, or the She
devil Frochard, or Marianne the
outcast, or Picard, the ChevaIier, the
Countess, which was one of Januch-
ek's great parts, or the beautiful sis
ter of the blind girl whose one object
in life is to find her, it is time that
you saw the play. Mr.. Conrad has
formed a Company of actors who
have had especial experience in this
play, and he has elaborated the pro-
duction with the complete outfit
required for the authorized Kate
Claxton version which he used
The celebrated drama will be pre-
sented by the Frel g. Conrad Com
panv, and will include some Of the
best knDwn actors of especial eXpe-
rience in this play. Mr.. Conrad
used the auth Drizel KITE Claxton
version, the only one giving a full
and correct idea of the power and
beauty of the drama, and he thus
has the advantage of all her years
of success III her own famous part
of the blind girl. A complete equip
ment of scenery is carried.
