SALOONS NOT WANTED.

From Obard IN. NJ Progress
We heard there was to be a saloon
In Obar. Can't something be done to
prevent i as it will be much harder
to get hd of after it arrives than TO
keep it out before it gets in There
are surely enough good people In ana
around Obar TO prevent such a calam-
lty Detailing our clean little city. Let
everybody kick and kick altogether
and kick so hard that it will be impos-
sible for any saloon man to stop long
enough in Obar TO get foothold or dare
TO stick his head inside of Obar.

THAT WALDRON "GUSHER"
The Southwest American Tells How a False Report of Oil Find
 Started.

It was reported in Fort Smith We'd nesday that oil had been struck at Waldron, Scott county. The South west American called up one of the operators by telephone and asked him of the report. The telephone line was not in condition for clear communica- ton and when the operator was asked whether or not oil had been struck he replied in the affirmative. He was asked whether the flow would average 800 barrels and he again replied in the affirmative. It developed yesterday that the operator misunderstood the speaker at the Southwest American office and thought the latter asked whether or not an oil well was being drilled at Waldron and whether a depth of 800 feet had been reached. As a matter of fact no oil has been struck at Waldron, but well is being drilled and it has reached a depth of more than 800 feet Hence the story about the oil strike at Waldron. = Southwest American.

APPETITE FOR GLASS
Fred Alien. a Cook, Insisted on Eating It and Was Put in Jail-Pfob-
 ably Dtmented.

Dr. c. P. Dunman received a rush call Friday afternoon to the home of MT. and Mrs. Charles Crumby, in the west part of town. When he ar rived there he found Fred Allen, a nephew of Mir. and Mrs. Crumby, chewing on a piece of glass. When asked why he was eating if he replied Because l like it. and kept on chewing Every little while he would quit chewing and spit out a mouth full of glass and blood, only to take . fresh bite from the tumblcr. What was left of the glass was taken from him and thrown over high board fence. Allen then climbed the fence, got the glass and began eating again.
 Allen, who is first-class cook. has been out of a position for some time and had been drinking, was probably demented. Dr. Dunman saw this and fearing he might get worse, phoned for the police to take charge of him. Constable Allie Duncan and Policemen Repetto and Goodner were soon on hand and relieved him of the glass. Next morning he was released and allowed to go home. The only harm he suffered was in his mouth, his gums having been badly cut by the glass. Friday morning he tried to buy a glass in Davis drug store, but was refused. Later he borrowed one in Emerson's saloon, and probably it was this glass that he was eating.
 Mrs. Allen is very much worried over the affair and other things he has been doing recently, and has wired for her father. She says she knew Allen only two months before she married him.

 A member of the church writes the Star as follows:
 "I am very sorry to learn that the Rev. Wm. Robinson has sent in his resignation as pastor of the M. E. church. III health is the cause of his resignation. No one has done more good work for the church than he, and as the church is in debt to him on sal- ary it would be only justice for the members and all friends of the church to contribute something to liquidate this indebtedness.

 It was stated yesterday that within the next 30 or 60 days 100 state con- victs will be recalled to the state cap itol and put to work there, cleaning up the yard and property around the building. The last legislature by spe- cial act provided that 100 state con- victs could be worked on the new cap itol building. The convicts were used in the raging of the condemned work, but after that part of the task was completed they were turned back to Mir Pitcock. temporarily.
 The governor stated last night that the plasterers would have completed their work at the capitol, with the ex- ception of the interior of the dome, within the next 60 days. The finish ing touches will be put to the wood work shortly.

ASSASSINS SHOOT
 DOWN CONSTABLE
Woman Is Shot Down in an At tempt to Aid Him-0fficer Is Painfully Wounded -Assail-
 lants Escape.

Texarkana, July 10.-While passing through the resort district of "Swam- poodle about 1 o'clock yesterday morning Melvin Anderson, deputy constable on the Taxes side, was fired at several times by assassins. About IS shots were fired. it is stated, pis- tols and shotguns being used. Ander- son was struck and painfully wounded in the thigh by a bullet from a 32-cal- ibre revolver. He also received sever al wounds from small shot, none of which are serious. Kitty Rames, in mate of resort. was wounded in a brave attempt to aid the constable.
 Anderson is veteran officer on the Texas side, and has been particularly active against bootleegers for several months. It is thought that his work along this line caused the attempt to assassinate him.
 When the firing began, Anderson jumped behind telephone pole, drew his revolver and returned the fire His assailants were about 50 feet away, in an alley. He soon exhaust ed his supply of ammunition ane shouted for more. The Rames women appearing from one o f the resorts started to comply with his request but received load of squirrel shot ir the body as she left the door. She fell to the ground, but gamely got ur and succeeded in reaching Anderson and handed him 45 calihre revolvor Later she was taken to the hospital Her wounds are not serious.
 Before Anderson could make much use of the gun the men retreated and disappeared. Anderson says he is reasonably sure who the men are, and he hopes to secure positive proof soon.
 The telephone pole behind which Anderson took refuge, was badly splin- tered by bullets and small shot.

Remmel, chairman of the state Republican committee, over naming of county boards Wednesday, Remmel alleg- ing his recommendations had been ignored.
 Norwood says "Remmel's criti- cism comes with poor grace, when one considers the calamity of the Powell Clayton regime and the greatest disaster that could come would be recurrence of domination by the Clayton Remmel faction of the Republican party
