BANK is AGAIN OPENED
Sulphur Rock Bank in Good Con-
dltion Despite Adverse Reports

The Bank of Sulphur Rock,
which was closed temporarily by
the directors a few days ago to as
certain as to its solvency, has been
recognized and is again open for
business. 1t has been ascertained
that the assets were more than suf-
ficient to meet all obligations, and
the temporary embarrassment was
due to poor management on the
part of the former cashier, and not
to any misrepresentation of funds.
The stockholders have chosen a
new board of directors and have
elected Sam Tuggle cashier, and
all claims are being paid. The as
sets of the re-organized bank are
ample to care for the business of
the town and community, and no
depositor has ever doubted but
that his money was safe.

STRIKE CAUSES KILLING
Union Striker Killed by Non-Union

Cotter, Aug. IA killing re-

railroad, Ray Hennessey being
slain by +. n. Nibblett. Hennessey
was one of the strikebreakers,
while Nibblett was nonunionman
employed by the railroad to break
the strike. This is the first death
to result from the strike.
For a while after the killing ex-
element ran high and there was
fear that a lynching might result.
A number of deputies and con-
stables were rushed to the scene
and every precaution taken. Mat
ters quoted considerably after
night fall, however, and it is be-
lieved that the officers have the
situation well in hand. Nibbiett,

The killing occurred about seven
O'Clock this evening in front of
the O'Connel hotel, which is buta
short distance from the round
house of the Iron Mountain rail-
road. The two men got into an ar
gument in front of the hotel
and fight resulted. Hennessey
was just up from a long seige of
typhoid fever and was not very
strong. Nibblett drew knife and
slashed him across the throat, sew
ering the jugular vein. Hennessey
lived but short while afterward.

WHY Is ARKANSAS BEHIND?
What an Adopted Citizen Thinks
of the States Progress

They say that Arkansas is
awakening. That's absolutely true.
And its high time.
Looking around over the state,
it's a bit hard to believe that Ar
kansas is century old. If one
wished to be merely compliment
tary, he might say of her that she
bears her age remarkably well. If
he wished to be critical, he might
say that she has dawdled along in
excusably in her growth and de-
velopment.
After hundred years of life,
any state, lying right in the heart
of things, inconceivably rich in all
natural resources, with farming
lands equal to any demand that
may be made upon them, ought to
have got somewhere. Arkansas
hasn't. Compare her development
with that of any neighbor state,
and she's miles and miles behind.
What's the trouble? How does
it happen that Oklahoma, for in
stance, in her callow youth, lying
right next door, has won recogni-
ton in decade, while Arkansas,
with as much or more to offer in
opportunities, has Jagged and
drowsed for ten times that spanl
There's just one possible answer.
| don't know the motto of the
State of Arkansas; but it might be
this: we don't advertise" That
expresses exactly the spirit of the
state in the last hundred years.
This long time, the rest of the
Southwest has been quick with
new life. Arkansas has slept. This
long time, the rest of the Southwest
has held the center of the stage in
immigration affairs. Arkansas has
stood in the wings, mere "supe. "
This long time, the rest of the
Southwest has been working out
its destiny in sweat and blood.
Arkansas has loafed and whitfield.

W0MAN'S FATAL LEAP
With Babe in Arms She Leaps or
Falls From High TrestIe

Mrs. b. H. Werling of Mem
phls, Tex, jumped from the east
bound White River passenger
train Saturday as the train was
crossing high trestle near Criek-
EFT, and was instantly killed.
A baby about year old was in
her arms and was SO badly injured
that it died in short time.
There seems to be some doubt
rs to whether it was case OF sui
eide or IN accident. The lady aud
two children, one about three
years old and the baby that was
killed, were en- route to Yellville
and it was only short time before
the train reached Yellville that the
tragedy occurred.
Nothing strange or unusual
was noticed about the demeanor
of the lady, and it is thought by
some that the child was perhaps
playing in its mothers lap and
fell from the window, and that the
woman, in frantic effort to save
the child, fell headlong from the
car window.
BY others it is thought to be
plain case of suicide, and that the
woman deliberately jumped from
the car window with the baby in
her arms. Nothing was found,
however, to indicate that such was
the case except some disconnected
or unfinished note found in the
seat or in her handbag. Some of
the passengers noticed her writing
just before the fatal leap.
The trestle at the point where
she leaped or fell from the window
is very high, and where the bodies
were picked up it is said to be
some ninety feet from the car win
dow to the ground.
The train was stopped immedi-
ately when the unfortunate occur
ance was discovered, and the train
men and passengers rushed to the
scene, only to find the lady dead
and the child fatally injured. The
bodies were taken to Cotter to
await instructions as to their dis
position.

TO BUILD A GOOD ROAD.
How We Can Get a Good Road
From Newark to Batesville

The Journal would like to sug-
gest to County Judge Pearce that
he call meeting of the road over
seers and citizens of Big Bottom.
Wycough, White River, Gainsbo-
no and Ruddell townships to be
held at Sulphur Rock, say on Sat-
August 90, for the purpose of dis
cussing the feasibility of building
a good road from Newark to
Batesville by popular donations
and work.
A good road connecting the two
towns would be of incalculable val
ne to both towns and to the people,
and its construction would serve
as a valuable object lesson and
help to create greater interest in
good roads.
A day could be set sometime
early in September, and every man
i n the townships through which
the road passes should be asked and
should be more than willing to
donate one or two days labor or
its equivalent in cash toward
building such road.
The people of Iowa turned out
recently and in one day built
good road clear across the state.
Why cant the people of this
section of independence county
turn out and build Is or 20 miles
of good road in one day? Or sup
pose it takes two days. 1t would
then be we'll worth the time and
labor. The people readily spent
two days at the recent Land Con-
gress Picnic at Newark, and the
time was we'll and proftably spent.
A sentiment for greater and bet
ter things was created by the
speeches heard at the Land Con-
gress Picnic. Good roads, drain
age, conservation and progress
was preached. These discussions
are going TO bear fruit for the bet
terment of good old independence
county. We believe that every
man who thoughtfully listened to
those speeches received great
uplift and had created within him
a desire for greater and better
things.
Now, while these things are still
fresh in the minds of the people,
why not call the citizens together
and start movement to realize
upon the good preaching we have
been doing.
Every body feels the need of bet
ter roads and The journal believes
the time is ripe for such move
ment.
Let's get down to work and

JOSHUA MELTzER

Joshua Meltzer. Attorney-at-Law, who Is one of the Democratic nomi- nees for Representative was born May 6, 1863, in a small town in Russia. His father was the minister oe the town. Joshua studied books and was des- tined to take up the calling of his father until he reached the age of 14 when he abandoned 1t and took up secular studies. He studied for a short time in Koenigsberg, Germany, and then left Germany and went to Central Russia where he entered gymnasium Gan advanced high school and graduated from it in 1881, but owing to political conditions prevailing then in Russia and owing to religious prejudices, which were stronger then than now. he was unable to enter a university, as he fully intended to, and took up teaching as a vocation, teaching in a private school and tu- toring.
 MT. Meltzer has been self support ing since the age of IA, as the taking up of secular studies was against the wishes of his father who had desired him to be a minister. In 1887 MT. Melt ger married and continued teaching.
 He came to the United States in 1890 at the request of an older broth CT, who is a very competent physi- elan in New York. Dr. $. J. Meltzer, one of the heads of the Rockefeller In- stitute of Medical and Scientific Re-
