TWO BAD MEN
 ARE RfCAP7URED
Examples WiEE Be Made Of Trusty f0nyictS in Future at tie Ar-
 kansas Penitentiary.

| Little Rock, July 5.-In order to
 make examples of trusty conVlets
 who take advantage of the freedom thus given to escape, Supt. James Pitcock of the Arkansas penitentiary has taken steps to have Lee Quinn and Otto Johnson two convicts who escaped from the new prison last week, indicted not only as escapes, but for grand larceny.
 Quinn and Johnson were trusties about the new penitentiary and they escaped. Before leaving they took clothing from the guard house and number of revolvers and shot guns from the arsenal, the lock to which they broke. The guns were too heavy to carry and the convicts soon threw them away, and it was only because ammunition was not secured for the three 45-Colt revolvers taken, that the convicts were taken at Mansfield
 
 dicted for the theft of the guns and revolvers. Out only one day, the nen held up an officer in the woods of Perry county and forced him to beat a hasty retreat. The officer was ri3- ing through the woods when he ran upon the convicts. Quinn and John son covered him with their empty re- volvers and the officer turned back in a hurry. It was suppised by Fort Smith officers that Quinn and John son were on their way to that city to attack the county jail and under take to liberate Grant Quinn, broth CT of one of the convicts, held there on charge of murdering Chinamln but the escapes told the arresting of- ficers they intended to stay away from Fort Smith as everyone in that section if the country knew them, and they were looking for nothing but 70 escape. The convicts were punished on their return and put to work un- der guard.

 OF COTTON BELT
Statements Issued Last Night D! President Smith 0f Louisville Nashville and Sec. TrOusseii
 of Cotton Belt.

Memphis, July 5.-President M. Ii. Smith of the Louisville and Nashville denies that the Cotton Belt has been purchased by his road.

New York View of Deal.

New York, July 4.-Information re- ceived from trustworthy sources here tends to confirm the report from St. Louis that control of the St. Louis { Southwestern Railway Company is likely to pass from the hands of Ed win Gould and his associates during the summer, says Financial Ameri- ca.
 ent systems have been looking over the road with view to it's possible acquisition Of these the Louisville & Nashville Railroad Company is be- ieved to be the most probable pur- chaser, if satisfactory terms can be arranged
 Up to this time, it may be stated, suchR deal has not come formally be- fore the board of either the Louis vile & Nashville or the St. Louis Southwestern. Probably the only per sons qualified to speak with absolute authority concerning the prospects of the consummation of such a transac- tion between those two roads are Henry Walters, chairman of the Louisville & Nashville board, and Ed win Gould, president of the St. Louis Southwestern Both of these are now absent from town. In some quarters, it is believed that the re- ported deal between the Louisville and the St. Louis Southwestern will take the form of traffic alliance, in- stead of acquisition of absolute con- trol by the former.
 It has been known for some time, however, that the Cotton Belt" road was for sale. Edwin Gould would be willing to relinquish his holdings, if an attractive price were offered for his interest in that property. It is pointed out that the St. Louis Southwestern would be valuable ac- quisition to one of the larger sys- tems inasmuch as during the last few years great deal of money has been spent on it out of earnings, and the property placed in good shape. About year ago the company began divi- dend payments on it's preferred stock. which is now receiving per cent per annum. Earnings have increased to such an extent that there has been serious discussion among the direc- tors as to the advisability of begin ming disbursements to the common shareholders toward the end of tNe present calendar year. Plans in this respect are understood to be contin- gent on the volume of business done during the next three months, and the business outlook as it shall appear, in the fall
 The company has outstanding $20- 000,000 preferred and $16,500,000 com mon stock and operates 1,470 miles of road.

est.inn lnto Moral Debt.

Philip D. Armour. millionaire and
philanthropist. continually warned
young men against getting into debt.
He loved free men and despised slaves.
When asked if he admired a certain
brilliant orator he said: He may have
a superb voice and fine presence, but
can't you hear the rattle of his ch&n?
That man is not free. He is under
moral Obligations that demoraliZe him.
He is not speaking the deepest thing
In his soul, and l haven't time to hear
any slave talk. l want man to be
Just as free as / am"
On another occasion he said: Don't
get into debit mean moral debt. 1t
is bad enough to get into debt finan-
cially. There goes a young man who
is mortgaged That young man is leg
ging it along with a debt, and it will
take twice as much power to get him
along as the man without a debt.
There are other debts and obligations
that are embarrassing in their entan-
clements. Don't get into debt morally,
my boy; don't get into debt so that
you may not exercise your freedom to
its limits.'

The Code of Slang.

It is rather a clever notion in re-
cent story TO make two Americans
communicate with each other by
means of slang in Central American
republic at time when all kilograms
are carefully inspected. If they tISet'
Spanish, that. of course. would be inn
mediately understood. If they used
English the officials would find some
one to translate it, AS they had no
cipher code prepared in advance. they
could not resort to it. Consequently
the first American telegraphs to the
other American in 1.-The great and po-
tent code of slang" Here is tele-
gram which slipped through the fin
gers of the curious Central American
officials:

BAYFIELD,

Elmer Olson, who recently pur-
chased large gasoline boat. met
with misfortune Sunday. He had
just launched the boat a few days
before, and during the night the
gasoline leaked out of the tank, and
remained in the bottom of the boat.
On coming down Sunday Mr.. Olson
saw the liquid in the bottom and
thought it was water. In attic lnpt-
ing to start the engine she back
fired and set the oil afire which was
in ire bottom of the boat.
The canopy and inside of the boat
was totally destroyed. The fire de-
partrnent was called out TO prevent
the lumber plies from burning.
The party of people, con isting of
ten or more, who left here ten days
ago in the launch Illine for trip to
the north shore, returned Saturday
night, and report that they had a
fine trip.

How many things we hope

How many things we hope
for, expect, yet do not attain.
All paths are not smooth IN
this dear Old world OF ours.
There are thorns on many
sides and rocky as we'll as
slippery places for our feet.
disappointment will come to
the best of us, but the brave
heart will take new courage
after each failure and press
on to victory. God bless the
rythearts, if they have
grown weary in we'll doing.
Let them take on fresh cOur-
age and hope, for there is
more of good than evil in this
old world of ours. A right
eous life will be rewarded and
a just cause can never die.
Soldiers may fall in battle,
but others there are to take
their places. The truth can
not be vanquished. It may
be crushed to earth, but it
will rise again a thousand
fold stronger and illuminate
the world. Let us lend a low
ing, helping hand to the
weary hearts.

A Japanese Custom.

On the anniversary of Japanese
boys birthday his parents present him
with huge paper fish, made of gay
ly painted bag, with hoop of proper
dimensions forming the mouth. A
string is tied to the hoop, and the fish
is hoisted to a pole on the roof of
the house. Then the wind rushing
through causes the fish to swell out to
the proper size and shape and gives it
the appearance of swimming in the
air. A Japanese boy carefully pre-
serves every fish thus given to him.
One can tell by the number of them
that swim from the same pole how
many birthdays the little fellow has

COUNTY OPTION
CAPT. WIN. MITCHELL LEWIS
REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR NOMINATION FOR GOVERNOR
Be not deceived!

Be not deceived!
County option HAS BEEN TRIED for
% years, and has proved PRACTICAL
success. No state which has adopted county
option has ever repealed the law. Mich
gan, Indiana, Ohio and Missouri, are some
of our neighboring states which have
adopted county option.
County option has proved to be the
BEST MEANS OF REGULATING and
reforming DIsORDERLY saloons.
County option is BETTER THAN.
LOCAL OPTION because it has proved to
be the FAIREST way to handle the saloon
license-fairest to ALL the people.
