coUNTERFEITING OUTFIT
Found in Possession of Two Young
 Men Arrested on Minor Charge.

Bates, Sept. S.--Deputy United States Marshal Malby and Sheriff Sam Brown of Randolph county came in Sunday night having in custody two brothers, L:ge and Ben Dame, who are charged with counterfeiting, and upon exami- nation before Commissioner Parse they were bound over to the FeJ- eral court in the sum of S1,000 each, which, not being able to give, they were placed in the county jail in tbis city.
 Some time ago the boys were arrested by Sheriff Brown, charged with disturbing religious worship some ten miles out of Pocahontas. Upon searching the prisoners the sheriff found some counterfeit half dollars on them. He instituted search for their room and found the outfit for making. Two molds were found somewhat battered, but showed to have been the ones used iu making the money found. They also had on them when ar rested some knucks made from the same kind of metal as the bogus coins.
 The prisoners are aged Fl and "A and are considered dangerous fellows. They have been h quite deal of trouble, and had only recently returned to Pocahontas after a years absence, having been compelled to leave on ac- count of bad behavior. Their absence was spent iu Oklahoma. they say.

Newport, Sept. S.-In the anti
 s, proceedings against the wsters-Pierce Oil C o m p a n :, brought by the s'ate of Afkan s,s and agreed judgment for <4s GOO against the defendant
 .moaay was filed yesterday af- ,eruoou in the Jackson Cnrcu'' Court, which terminates the civil .s well as criminal cases, the s,,te nolle pressing the indici- men. against the company. This suit was instituted by p, osecuting Attorney R. E. Jef- ,.ry. He was assisted in the orosecutiou by Hal l.. Norwood, attorney general. c. l.. Grant sad Campbell & Suits of this city, all of whom were present in court vhen the judgment was entered. ,udpe W. E. Hemingway of Lit ,le Rock of Rose, Heming way, csu,rell & Loughborough. repre- seuied tue defendant.
 The judgment recites that 1t is mt to be taken as an admission of guilt, and a denial of all the states charges is maintained. Of the $45, 600 judgment, S33,- 800 is to be paid into the state treasury for the use of the com mon school fund, as provided in ,he antitrust act. One-fourth of the amount of the Judgment goes to Prosecuting Attorney Jeffery and his counsel, the defendant company paying all costs of the suit.
 The other antitrust suits against the American Book Com pany and the 6S insurance com pauies are yet to be heard. Judge w. L. Terry of Little Rock, is here to look after the in. seresis of the latter, and judge J. H. Stephenson of Little Rock has already filed a motion to strike out certain parts of the state S complaint against the alleged book trust.
 The settlement in the Waters Pierce Oil Company case breaks all records as to the amounts col- lected in antitrust proceedings in
 Arkansas. The state of Missouri recently secured $50, ,000 Tn a simi- lar suit, but Arkansas in reality leads, as a Sl0,000 fne was se-
 cured previous to the settlement today through the efforts of Lew
 Rhoton when he was prosecut- ing attorney.

CUTTING PENSION ROLLS
Inspection of Amnesty Rolls of Gem eral Grant Causes Confederate Sol.
 diers to Withdraw From Home.

Little Rock.-Since the present board of trustees ot the Arkansas Confederate Home has been in control. there has been gradual wedding out of the inmates who were not entitled to support by the state and this is to continue until every man in the institution can show a clean record for con- tinual service in the Confederate army. Since the present board assumed control, l4 inmates have voluntarily withdrawn, being un- able to show the required proof of service. A number of others have been served with notice.to show their record during the war or follow those who have left the institution.
 During the last year of the war;" stated Charles F. Martin, secretary of the board, yesterday afternoon, "when 1t was perfectly evident to us all that the end was but a question of short tune, General Grant, knowing our con- dition, and that we could not re- cruit additional men, flooded the army with offers of amnesty for all who would desert the Southern army and remain neutral. This caught the weak hearted coming and going and thousands signed up, both from the ranks and from the prisons. These men deserted US in the hour of greatest need, just as Grant expected them to do when he made the offer. These men cannot be considered any thing but deserters. We have sent to Washington and secured copies of the amnesty rolls. We found the names of the men who have left the institution upon these rolls and gave them permis sion to withdraw after having an opportunity to show their papers and failing. There are others now who are on notice and some of them are on the amnesty rolls
 so they will not be able to show the desired clean record for army service. There are people all over the state, men, women and children, who are working in the cotton patch to pay the taxes to support this institution, and 1t is
 not right that their money should
 be used to give some old man nice home, who does not deserve lit. It is the same with the state pensions, and if the county boards will only do what we are doing force the pensioners to show ser vice and an honorable discharge from the Southern army, they will cut off so many that the de- serving pensioners will soon be getting 100 cents on the amount appropriated to pay them. There
 is fully that amount of people on
 the state pension list, who do not
 belong there. We have about | l25 men at the home now, or membership of that number all
 hui about S2 being away on furlough.'
