FIVE NEGROES
 FINED FOR CONTEMPT

Judge Grace had five negrloes, all witnesses in the circuit court brought before him yesterday after noon with writ of attachments, and fined them $1 each for their negli- gence in not complying with the courts orders to appear in his court during the morning as witnesses bn a criminal case. The negroes were also required to pay the costs in the attachments proceedings. Judge Grace gave them severe lecture be- fore imposing the fine. The negroes were summoned as witnesses from John M. Gracfe's plantation in this county. They arrived early, but in stead of going to the court ro|om they remained down stairs for several hours and had to be sent for when wanted.

lectual, and physical-which now takes place Ein all highly civilized countries between the rural and ur- ban population, could not be main tained. Without them, large cities or towns could scarcely continue to exist, for they must have the pro- ducts of the country. Nor on the lother hand could the rural popula' tion affording that supply be benefit ted by the social advantages and the various articles of necessity and lux ury obtained by commerce from ev cry part of the globe.
 In Jefferson dounty the highways and bridge building have not kept pace with other developments. They are very inferior to those of Pulaski and other counties.
 It would be hard to overestimate the value of good and permanent roads and bridges.
 l. Good roads and bridges de- crease the cost of transportation.
 ,. Good bridges and roads give wide choice of time for the marketing of crops.
 3. Good roads and bridges permit the market to be done when the prices are most favorable.
 4. Good bridges and roads permit more easy intercourse between the members of rural communities, and between rural and town population This is a very great benefit. It makes rural life more attractive.
 5. Good roads and bridges facili- tate the consolidation of rural schools and thereby increase their economy and efficiency. This is very import ant to coming generations.
 6. Coed bridges and roads enhance the value of every acre of land and of everf tract of timber in the coun- ty.
 7. Good roads and bridges are a comfort and a pleasure, and they are desirable for the same reason that good schdols ,,nd good houses are de- sirable.
 It is almost lip to the people of Jeff ferson county; are they going to have the bridge, which means another railroad and more turnpikes? I be- lieve they will. Don't be knockers. stand by the enterprise and benefits will stand by you. I believe the building of the bridge along the lines l have indicated will the greatest benefit to the entire county, ever Of fered. Don't sign up against the en- terprise until you look more fully in- to it.
 Yours respectfully,
 IS. c. ALEXANDER.

 J. B. Bryce.
MURDER IS CHARGED

Los Angeles, May. 4.-Ortie E. Mc- Mlanigal, who gave the information that caused his own arrest and of the two McNamaras lon charges of dy- namiting, appeared before the grand jury this afternoon and furnished in- formation upon which twenty-one grand jury indictments will be re- turned tomorrow morning. One of the indictments which will be return ed will charge McManigal with dyna- hitting the Llewellyn Iron Works in this city on last Christmas morning J. J. McNamara will be charged with furnishing the funds, and planning the plot to destroy the Iron Works here.
 Nineteen of the indictments which will be returned tomorrow will charge J. B. GMcNamara and J. J. Mo- amara with murder in connection with the Times disaster. The infor- nation upon which these indictments were returned was given by MeMani- gal to the grand jury, and before a vote was taken by the jurors, several hotel registers were introduced as corroborating evidence The new in- dictments will now take the places of the charges upon which the two Me- Namaras and MoManigal were ar rested.
 A meeting of the Superior Court judges will be held tomorrow and at that time the case will be- assigned for arraignment an trial. In his cell McManigal Said that he had told the grand jurors the truth.
 This morning J. B. McNamara was identified by Mrs. Paul Stutterich, of San Francisco. as the man she knew last September as J. B. Bryce Mrs. Stutterieh stated to District At- torney Fredericks that she was posi- tive in her identification. Sh eknew McNamara as Bryce when McNamara, accompanied by' two men, leased boat near Sausilito and then changed the boats hame by putting new let ters on it. This was before they went to Giant, Cal, for the dynamite, according to the officers.

THE FREE BRIDGE
 ITS GREAT VALUE S. c. Alexander Writes and Tells What the People
 Must Expect
NO BURDEN ON COUTY
Commissioners Will Act Carefully and Property Owners Are Urged
 to Give it Thought.

Dear Sir:-Much has been said re- gently detrimental to the building o1
 the new bridge. I think the efforts of the Taxpayers League to defea' this is rather nasty. They are pre- judicing the people wrongfully with
 out a cause. The Commission may not suit everybody, and 1t is hard to get one that would. I believe they are
 honest men and will handle the mat ter intrusted to them to the best in- terest of the county from every stand point. This great mIovement for i'm provement of our county was not done in a corner or behind closed doors
 but the members iof the Pine Bluff Board of Trade and the Retail Merch- ants Association are the originators of 1t, and every member of these or ganizations should stand by it. am not in favor-neither is the dom- mission-of running Jefferson coun- ty unnecessarily in debt. If we can not see our way clear to build the bridge in connection with some rail road; will never consent to build and dump it on the county; no sane man would. I do believe a bridge suitable for railroads with free ac- commodation for wagons and all kinds iof vehicles together with walks for foot passengers would be of great benefit to every citizen in the county. The Ft. Smith bridge has standard railway track, double street car tracks, two wagon ways of eleven feet each, and an automo obile way. This makes it very wide, and its cost as furnished us by the engineers. is about $650, 100000. With the bridge will come an interurban to Little Rock, and turnpike to England, Sherrill and Tucker. believe all of these improvements will come along with the bridge and be finish ed before the bridge. Little Rock is now entertaining the interurban promoters.
 Our bridge of course, will not be as wide as the Ft Smith or as expen- sive. The Commission will publish cuts from time to time of bridges, giving cost etc., and do all they can b keep in touch with the people. Not one cent of pay from any source will the Commission receive. What they do is without cost as to their time and energy, and all for the upbuild- ing of our county.
 The north side of the river is the garden~spot of the dounty, and noth- ing will improve it more than good bridges and good roads.
 : It has been said, and it is true, that Hoads lare the physical symbol by which to measure the progress of any ege or people. If the community is stagnant the condition of the roads will indicate the fact. Savages whose wants are small, those being supplied by nature in the immediate vicinity of their dwellings, have no roads. Sure ly there is no man in Jefferson coun- ty whose wants are so small that he Is satisfied with the roads and bridges ,hat his great-grandfather had to use.
 Without good n,ads, the inter- change, of advantage-moral. intel

When the resolution was read Senator Keel moved its adoption and President Toney immediately y ruled it out of order, using the language as quoted above. The following is the resolution that was offered: 5 Resolution by Senator Jacobson.
 Whereas, during the entire session of the Thirty eighth General Assemb- ly in all matters coming before the Senate, that body has unalterably op- posed any criticism of the action of the House Ion legislative matters by any member of the Senate, deeming 1t to be in bad taste, bad manners, and unfair advantage and wholly i'm proper to do so.
 Whereas, a member of the House, disgusted at his inability, to convince everyone of his infalibility, unable to convince the world that it Is wrong and he sright, refusing to believe that there is only one side to a ques- ton, and that is his side, was per- mitted in the House to indulge in un- fair and unjust abuse of the Senate, to charge the Senate with corruption. and this in general terms, because it did not agree with him in certain general matters. and
 Whereas, the House not only per- mitted this cowardly attack to be made upon the Senate, but endorsed it in toto by ordering 25,000 copies
