 Evidence shows unmistakably that the boy was killed and his body thrown into the river. But whoever committed the crime followed out a well-laid scheme so perfectly that all efforts toslo- cate the criminal have proven futile, and it seems very proba- ble that the guilty party will go unwhipped of justice Newark Journal.

I Special to Independent.
 l Little. Rock, Nov. 10.-Tne
 city has secured the services of
 John L. Greene, of Fort Worth,
 Texas, for tke purpose of organ
 izing the charities of the city,
 systematically. He has been as signed to the work upon the re- commendatlon of the National
 Association of Societies for Or iganizing Charities. This is the
 organization that was endowed
 by the Russell Sage Foundation for the purpose of systemlzing the charities of the cities, in- stead of conducting them in a haphazard and often ineffective manner. MT. Greene will arrive next Monday, at which time a meeting will be held with the lo- cal committee for the purpose of devising ways and means for the purpose of devising ways and meaps for the proposed con- solidation.
 It is argued that associated charities will be a great deal cheaper for the public which puts up the money for the work after all, and will prevent much of the petty graft that is often found in the administration of unorganized charities.
 The movement for a co-opera- tive charity system was inaugUr- ated by Mayor Taylor, who called a meeting of those interested. It was well attended, and clergy and laity were alike interested in the success of the project. County Judge Asher even de clared that in his opinion it cover the whole county. It will be the purpose to protect the public against inpostois all over the county, and provide aI for the proper assistance to be rendered the worthy poor and permanently indigent,

 He expressed but little hope for the negative characters, the sissy men who know the right but will not try, then the fellow wno says There's time enough" -the devils easiest subjects. These three were classed as the hardest of all excuses to manage. All other excuses the ''big preacher" knocked into splin- 'ters with but little trouble. He closed with a splendid view of the positive character who was big enough to rise above the de- vii and all excuses and take his stand for Christ like Gladstone, Mckinley. Bryan, Wesley, Knox, and other great men. At the close of the service more than 50 hands went up for prayers. That was a grand sight to see 50 peo- pie beckoning for help. May the Lord save them!
 A great meeting is now on in Newport and happy is the man who attends it and gets benefit from it.

NIURDfR NYS
 IS UNSOLvED
Mrs. Mary Bagwell Has Been Re leased By Independence
 Grand Jury.

Mrs. Mary Bagwell, who was under bond charged with the. murder of Tommy Baker, was. released by the grand jury of h. dependence county, after that body had devoted several days to an investigation of'the case and had examined thirty-fve wit nesses. As the case appears at present, it promises to remain an unsolved and unsolvable mys- tery.
 Tommy Baker, a mere lad, was found dead in White river near the McHenry farm last spring, and Mrs. Bagwell and her small son were arrested, charged with the crime. Mrs. Bagwell, a Wi dow, about forty-fve years of age, and her three boys were living in a tent on the bank of the river at the time the crime was committed. She and her youngest son were the last per sons with whom the murdered boy was seen and circumstances indicated that they were respon- sible for the boys death. They were arrested immediately fol- lowing the finding of the dead boy and just as they were pre- pairing to move away from the community.
 Owing to the extreme youth of her son the charge was dis missed against him, and Mrs. Mary Bagwell was given a pre- liminary hearing before Justice E. M. Wilson of Newark, the trial of the case attracting more attention perhaps than any case ever tried in the local courts. Some thirty witnesses were eA-7 amined and the case was stuh- bornly fought on both sides. All the evidence was purely circnnl- stantial, and Mrs. Bagwell was accordingly committed to jail without bail, but was later granted bail by Circuit Judge R. E. Jeffery.
 When the grand jury conven- ed, the people anxiously awaited develor nents, hoping that that body would be able to bring to light more evidence bearing upon the case, to the end that justice

 piers to be of steel re-enforced with concrete. The flooring to
 be of 2 1-2 inch oak and also wood joice, the former having to
 be renewed every five or six years at a cost of $500 and the latter every 10 or 12 years.
 The suspension pier would sus- tain a load of 180 tons and the speaker advised wooden floors for the span, though concrete could be easily substituted for the wood in all the stationary part of the bridge for about 5000.
