Detective Baughn, and a conversation which a detective, concealed behind a bookcase, overheard between MT. Beach and his wife. The knife blade is said to show blood stains.
 It is further alleged that the iden- tity of the man in gray" has been established and that the state will in- troduce witnesses whose testimony will uncover a scandal that will rock the. exclusive society of the United States to it's very foundation.
 As soon as Mrs. Beach was able to leave her bed, March %, she and MT. Beach left Aiken, sailing for England about two weeks later. Almost in.- mediately after the sailing the war rant for Beach's arrest was issued and it was the current rumor in so- ciety circles that the millionaire horseman had fled the country to es- cape arraignment and the ensuing scandal

Mayor Jordan and the city council should strictly enfore the health laws of the city and cooperate with the board of health to the fullest. This summer ought to be a healthy one for Pine Bluff if the health laws are obeyed to the letter. And if some are disposed not to. ofey them there ought to be no leniency shown them in the police court. They should be fined the first time they are brought into court and then if the offence is repeated, give it to 'em hard. We must have clean city. We will leave it to Judge Stewart in the city po- lice court to do the thing up Brown.

ROOSEVELT MEN WILL EIGHT TO A FINIsH

Little Rock, April 24.-It was Roosevelt that said in his speech the other night, eff the people want me for president, and the bosses try to cheat me out of it, I will fight and fight hard.'' And his followers are adopting his methods in the contest that is now on for the control of the state. They have declared open warfare on the ring, and declare they will fight every inch of the way be- fore they will lie down and let the steam-roller pass over them. There were some warm times in the eight ward meetings tonight, and contest ing delegations are coming up before the County Convention tomorrow af- ternoon. They are hopeful that they may wrest the control of affairs from the hands of the Machine, and de- clare that if given a full and free ex- pression, the people would be for Roosevelt

The attorney general has held in other cases that no law can Ee initiated by any community that is in conflict with general law on the subject applying to the whole state.

All men speaking in round num- bers, have capacity, but perhaps there is no one thing which individual men Understand so little as their true na- i've capacity, says the Publishers Auxiliary. In practice it is easy to find one man overestimating his abll- 3itys while another underestimates his. drhe latter type of man is the most s1snmmon-and his attitude may De neither humble nor virtuous-whlie fhe former is one of the most tryinS and. often one of the most foolish ap- bearing members of society. The one who underestimates his capacity may sat the same time have neXaggerated notion of his rights. Such comnlna- fion is more than likely to unfit him for finding the place where his latent capacity might expand.
