TROUBLES OF A DlSTILLER
Fulton County Whiskey Man Forced
 to Quit the Liquor Business

Mammoth Spring, April 25.-T. V. Marshall, who is an adept at distilling liquor, has decided that if the Prohi- bitionists are really bent on driving stills from this vicinity they can do so, so far as he is concerned, and in the meantime the population may do with out liquor. Within the last few weeks Marshall has been so hampered in his business that he has decided to give it up, for the present at least.
 Recently Marshall built still-house boutfve miles from Mammoth Spring, and when it was completed he discov- ed the Prohibitionists had obtained an order from Judge Watson prohibit ing the sale of his liquor in original packages.
 The distiller, not to be outdone, sim ply decided to change locations, and bought a piece of property in town. The Prohibitionists were not inactive, and before Marshall knew what was happening they secured similar order against him in town.
 Again the distiller changed his plans. He obtained location few miles south of Mammoth Spring and began the erection of a third still house. Before the roof was on he was confronted with the largest remon- strance that was ever recorded in the county asking for the prohibition of the sale of liquor in the territory sur rounding his still.
 The result of the "still' hunt on the part of Prohibitionists has simply put Marshall out of business; and he now says ''they can do without their liquor.

JOHN MOORE KILLS HIMSELF
Took Carbolic Acid Tuesday Morning
 at His Home Near Magness

John A. Moore, d we'll known and highly respected citizen, committed suicide at his home near Magness early Tuesday morning by taking a quantity of carbolic acid.
 Mir. Moore was in good health, was not involved to any great extent financially and so far as is known his domestic relations were pleasant. The cause of the rash act is therefore d profound mystery to his family and friends. He had never intimated to anyone that he intended to take his own life, and left no statement of any kind
 Only a short time ago he underwent a surgical operation at the hands of Drs. Pascoe X Poe of this city and at that time was very solicitious about his life. He repeatedly put off having the operation performed, stating that he was afraid he would not be able to stand the operation, or would die from the effects of being chloroformed. He finally consented to the operation, however, after being repeatedly assur- ed by the physicians that he was in no danger of losing his life. He had ful- ly recovered from the operation and had been at work on the railroad for some time.
 Late Monday evening he came to
  Newark and bought some carbolic acid from the Newark Drug Company. He did not seem the least Respondent at that time, but was apparently in as good spirits as usual and said noth- ing to indicate that he had the least idea of killing himself.
 Tuesday morning he got up as usual about , o'clock and made fire. He then stepped out on the front porch, and in moment his wife heard him grooming. She ran out and found him lying upon the floor with an empty bottle that had contained carbolic acid and a glass nearby.
 He uttered no word and died in a lew moments.
 His wife gave the alarm and Dr. Poe was sent for. He pronounced that death was caused from carbolic acid poisoning.
 Coroner Film was notified and came down from Batesville and held an in- quest, the result of which was ver- dict that the deceased came to his death by taking carbolic acid.
 Mr. Moore was about 40 years old and had been a citizen of the commun- ity for number of years. He stood we'll in the community and had served one term as constable of Magness township. He leaves a widow and three children.
 The remains were buried Wednesday afternoon at Blue Springs.

SOME GROWING LODGES
!. Os o. F. Celebrations at Pleasant
 Valley, Cushman and Salado

Editor The Journal:--On Friday morning, April 24, boarded the local passenger for Cushman, where I met the Masonic Lodge and made short address. We had very good meet- ing.
 On Saturday morning, big hearted w. k. Gray turned over to me one of his big fine mares, and I was soon on my way to Pleasant Valley, just over the line in Sharp county, to fill call of the I. o. O. K. Lodge to preach a sermon on Odd Fellowship. The large house was filled with as fine a crowd as could be found in Arkansas. After services the good ladies spread fine dinner, and the preacher was in good shape for his part. But we don't want to forget to speak of the good music which was rendered during the services
 After dinner we were soon on our way back to Cushman, where we met the.I. o. o. F. Lodge at : p. m. We were in the hall just an hour, when the word was given that the good sisters of the Rebeeca had supper prepared- We all soon made our way to the hall, where two large tables were loaded with the good things to eat. We were having good time, not having any thing to do but help ourselves to the good things before us, when the first fhi,,er 1y,,avx. it,xu with an empty goods box and turned it down in the door and told me to get on the box and pay for my supper. Now you know it was hard work for a man to speak to large crowd after such fine supper, but, having taught the lesson of obedience, we hoped the box and said few words about Odd Fellowship. Cushman has good lodge.
 On Sunday morning we were met at Batesville by Bro. W. F. Daniels, the Noble Grand of the Salado Lodge and was soon on our way to Salado where we met the I. o. o. F. Lodge. Every thing was soon in readiness and we soon assembled at the Nj. F. Church where we delivered another sermon on Odd Fellowship to a large crowd. We were furnished some good music by the choir. After services I. asked all who believed Odd Fellowship to be a blessing to humanity to. raise their hand, and as far as I could ascertain everyone raised their hand. The Sal- ado Lodge took in fourteen new mem- bers Saturday night.
 In conclusion l want to say that all three of these lodges are in fine con- condition. All have good halls and have them paid for, have money in their treasuries and getting along fine.
 The preacher was well cared for on his journey. met lots of good people and was we'll paid for his services.

A DESTRUCTIVE STORM
Considerable Damage Done by Storm
 Near BatesviIIe Thursday Night

One of the most destructive storms, accompanied by heavy rain and hail, that has visited the county in several years, passed over the country near Batesville Thursday night about 10 o'clock, the storm striking about five miles above Batesville and travelling mostly eastward, the track of the storm being about half mile wide
 The following account of the damage done by the storm is taken from the Batesville Daily Guard of Friday:
 "About five miles above here the roofwas blown from Lawrence Lusters house, but no one was injured
 1.-Two barns on George Luster's place were blown down. No stock was injured, but considerable feed was de- stroyed.
 From Luster's place, blowing down trees of all sizes in its path, the wind struck the place of A. H. F. Sisk, bad ly wrecking his house.
 "The house occupied by Frank Me Kean, a negro, was blown away, all but the floor and foundation, leaving him in bed uninjured.
 ssThe house occupied by another ne- gro on Ruddell's place was partly blown away.
 sThe wind next struck Erwin's Hill and damaged James Sherrill's and Wesley Greenfield's barns, and blew down any number of shade and fruit trees on the property of these gentle men.
 James F.. Johnson lives just across the road from Mr. Geenfield's and re- gently built new room onto the south end of his house. His three daughters, Misses Agness, Esther and Anna, were sleeping in this room. which was also used as a parlor, having heavy chandelier, an organ and several heavy chairs, etc, in it. The wind struck this room, tearing it away from the main building, and lifting it over a fence, turned it one and one-half times over, and finally lodged it against some heavy posts of new fence. This fence is just on the top of an incline, and had it not stopped the room, the room would have rolled at least fifty yards or luther, had it not torn to pieces. The roof to the room was scattered for distance of 600 yards. The young ladies were considerably shaken up, and Miss Esther received very serious cut over the left eye. How they escaped more serious injury is miracle, as the organ and other furniture was completely demolished.
 "'rhe house of Jasper Johnson, who lives near his father, was blown from its foundation. He and his family were in the house but were not in- jured. Near Johnson's is the old this building.
 ssJust below there T. J. Laird and his sons, Kirk, Dawes and Walter, live. Walter house was blown away, but no one was in it at the time. Mir. and Mrs. T. J. Laird were in bed in their home, which was completely de- stroyed, nothing being left but the flooring. Some heavy timbers struck Mr. and Mrs. Laird and they are seri- ously injured, and are at the home of their son, Kirk, whose house was lifted from it's foundation and a part of the roof taken. Dawes Laird's house was moved several feet.
 Most of MT. and Mrs. Laird $ household goods were destroyed.
 "The storm continued on through the upper part of West Batesville, but did no further damage, other than blowing down trees and fencing.o
