Looks Like Murder Now.

Hoxie, Sept. 18.-J. D. Lomax, father of Paul Lomax, the young man who killed himself ill the depot here about l o'clock Sunday morning, received a jet ter today from Woods Thomas of Batesville, formerly of the Madox Lumber Company, stat ing that he witnessed the death of young Lomax, and charging that it was committed by Slim Whalen, the baggageman at the depot.
 In the letter Mr. Thomas states that he was sitting in the depot in plain view of young Lo- max and Whalen when they went into the baggage room to- gether, Whalen going on the ln- side of the railing, while LomaN remained on the outside. The lights in the baggage room, the letter states. were turned low when the two men entered. Mir, Thomas writes that suddenly there was a flash and the report of a pistol, and that he saw Lo- max fall back.
 MT. Thomas further states inI the letter that Whalen camel around to where Lomax lay andj stopped a moment. He asked Whalen if he had killed the man, and Whalen replied, That's my business" and went out of the station. MT. Thomas examined the body of young Lomax, hel says. and found no weapon on ltl Whalen shortly returned, .heI said, and went to where the dead body was, hut that the light was out in the baggage room and he could not see what Whalen did.
 He says that about this time a crowd began to- gather. and he left for the hotel, and took the train shortly for Batesville.

 The latest addition to the rare wild beast wonders is a whole Artic menagerie which actually includes ten living, full-grown Polar Bears-a greater number than even any explorer ever saw together at one time. Even the Ice Trust would vince at the cost and trouble involved in se- curing such a cold water con- gress. Moreover the entire col- lection is rarely splendid one, educated to do all kinds of stunts, including walking a rope, sliding the t6boggan, walking on 2 globe, and other feats.

Trial of Sheriff Jinwright

On Sunday, April ?, the Bullock county jail at Union Springs was broken into by mob and Aberdeen Johnson, a negro, was taken out and lynched. Sheriff Jinwright is charged with complicity in the lynch ing, and at the instance of Governor O'Neal he was impeached, and he is now being tried under the provision of the constitution by the supreme court. That court will give him a fair trial and justice will assuredly be meted out in this case. Many witnesses have testified, and the facts will assuredly be fully brought out in this important constitutional trial.
 When every sheriff knows that he may be impeached and tried in sim liar manner if he fails to keep safely any prisoner committed to his care, there will be fewer lynchings from county jails. Jinwright claims that he was overpowered. That defense will have to be well proven before 1t will be accepted by the high court that is trying him. Mere make believe" will not deceive that court. The case will be a good precedent throughout the state, no matter what the verdict may be. The mere fact that a sheriff may be brought to trial after lynching has taken place is quite enough-brough to trial, that is to say, before court which Is above all courthouse influences and that cannot be misled by mere plausibilities.

a,IAzoNs IN HISTORY

From the St Louis PostDispatch.
 A story comes from the City of Mexico that there are POO insurgents stationed at Chipaneingo under the command of an Amazon called La Neri, and that she has a large number of women in her force. A considerable number of women have also enlisted with General. Miranda regular soldiers. and they can shoot and ride al- most as well as men, according to the story. Reports say that La Neri herself is worshiped by her men and comes of a high-class family. She has absolute command of her forces.
 There have occasionally been women soldiers, like Mary Anne Talbot and Han nah Shell, among the Anglo-Saxons, but no Amazons of distinction who have led armies and gained fame after the manner of Joan of Arc. Considering the Indian blood that there is in Mexico and the fre- quent appearance there of female war riors, it is worth recalling that in the six teenth century the Spanish explorer orel- lana, asserted that he had come into con flict with fighting women in South Amer ica, on the River Maranon, which was named after them the Amazon.
 Spain had her Maid of Saragossa, who is nearly as famous in the Iberian penin7 sula as Joan of Arc is in France. The amount of literature which has been pro- duced concerning the latter is enormous. Her story fascinated Mark Twain and at- tracted Anatole France, and, singularly enough. the American humorist and icon oclast is reverential in his treatment of the French heroine, while her eountryman is repelled by the miraculous element in her legend. Joan of Arc is also the hero inc of Voltaire's ribad mock-heroic poem, La Pucelle,' which scandalized all Flu rope, even in the easy-going eighteenth century.
 In recent times the fighting black women in the army of Dahomey have been the best and bravest of Amazons, but they are said to have died out during the French protectorate of that portion of Africa. It seems to be well esta blished that women can and will fight when they want to, and their courage is of the highest qual- ity

PUP HAD A FEAST
he New York Telegraph.

From the New York Telegraph.
 Broadway dearly loves a faddist And faddist-well, it seems they all get to Broadway, sooner or later.
 Of course, that isn't saying that Miss May Daniels Is a faddist or anything of the kind, but Mss Daniels has a hobby nevertheless. The hobby is little white poodle that is so ugly that those who don't know say 1t ought to be worth at least s1o000.
 Miss Daniels strolled into Broadway drug store, near Thirty-ninth street. Poodle, the pup, was with her.
 1.-TWO ice creams,'' she said to the clerk, jelly.

 And the man behind the counter asked, stupidly: Tn the same dish?''
 "One is for myself, the other for Poodle" she said.
 So the white jumpered chap stretched his neck got a peep at the white bunch on the floor, stammered about a bit, and replied:
 I'm afraid it's against our rules to allow dogs to eat out of our plates. I'm sorry, because--'
 That's all right. have my own plate" Miss Daniels asserted as she sat the poodle on a cigar case.
 She opened her handbag, out came a nice, polished little silver plate. The clerk filed 1t.
 "I pass,' he said aside, as he handed over the plate.
 Then out came "a cute little bib, and silver spoon and an Irish linen nap kin. And Fido-beg pardon, Poodie-with Miss Daniels assistance, enjoyed the feast until his teeth fairly began to chat ter
 Dog finished, bib removed, plate and spoon back in handbag, Miss Daniels el- bowed her way to the sidewalk.

HOW THE cunArE WON

From the Gentewolnan.
 How to win the hearts of his congregs- tion was unconsciously solved by an in- nocent young curate. Dean Hole. in his Letters" tells the following storyi
 "A young curate, good fellow, but very shy and bashful, came into parish which was occupied by Yorkshire yeomcn who bred horses and rode them and some- times had steeplechases. He did noe get on and was very much depressed.
 "One day the clerk said to him, If you please, sir, the prayers of the church are desired for Lucy Gray.
 very we'll said the cnrate. and at every service in which the prayer for all sorts and conditions of men was offered the church was asked to pray for Lucy Gray, till one morning the clerk rushed into the vestry and said:
 "'You needn't pray for Lucy Gray any more; she's won the steeplechase.'
 Have been praying for horser asked the curate. I shall leave the place.
 ''But the clerk said: 'You'll do nowt of the sort, sir; I thought little of ye when ye came, but now we've got the hearts of them all, and ye can do what ye like in the parish since ye took to praying for that horse'

Regarding Drastic Prohibition

'I understand that S5 or 90 per cent of Alabama dry prior to the enactment of statewide prohibition laws, and there will be about the same percentage after the larger cities Note back liquor," said Charles T. Northrup of Baltimore. At least that is my prediction.
 "I spent two weeks or more in Alabama in 1909, soon after the legislature passed the statutory prohibition bill and submit ted constitutional amendment proposi- ton for putting prohibition in the organic law. The prohibitionists boasted that Ala bama had the most stringent anti-liquor laws in the world.
 q am not particularly interested in the liquor question. I drink a little beer in warm weather and whisky at rare, inter yals, but it struck me as being poor poll icy both from a political and a moral point Of view, to enact sumptuary laws that the people would not stand for. am an old voter and my observation has be zen that the American people are reason ahle. Prohibition is doubtless a good viously unfair to put cities like Mobile Montgomery and Birmingham in the dry class. Even if prohibition does prohibit in measures even if the lid is put on tight and kept on tight, there will still be great deal of illegal liquor traffic all of which makes for hypocrasy and dis respect for law"
