Bridge Men Are Here.

Messrs. Garfield & Kersting,
representatives of the Missouri
Valley Bridge Company, both of
whom have been here before,
are here in the interest Of a
bridge across White River.
MIR. Heinemann is introducing
them to our business men and
securing subscriptions for the
stock. No greater proposition
was ever open to Newport and
the time for positive action was
never so opportune as now.
To our men of means and the
land owners Of the rich Oil
Trough section, we hope that the
advantages of a bridge will ap-
peal so strongly that this great
improvement to our city and
country will be financed and the
country west of White River be
brought into closer trade rela-
lions with Newport and a new
era of development.

The compromise was reached

Appointments Expected SoOr..

Special to Independent.
Little Rock, May % The
term Of Col. w. G. Whipple as
u. S. District Attorney for the
Eastern District of Arkansas
expired May 10, and the appoint
ment of his successor is expect
ed to be announced any time
from the White House. It is
generally conceded that this
will go to Hon. J. H. Harrod of
Little Rock, one of the truly o.
riginal Woodrow Wilson men
of Arkansas, and the man who
did as much as any one individ-
ual to mold Arkansas senti-
ment in favor of the New Jer-
sey governor.
The time of Judge Worthing-
ton, district attorney for the
Western district, also expires
the latter part of this month,
and it has been surmised that
the president is waiting to ap-
point the two together. There
are a number of strong appli-
cants for the Western district,
but in the Eastern district it
seems to be conceded to Col.
HarrOd.

The Cost OF War.

Going into an analysis, tire
Savannah Morning News says
Zone of the very best argu-
ments against war is it's cost,
not only in men killed and pow
der burned and supplies con-
sumed by her soldiers, but in
the loss of business. The Bal
kan war is said to have cost
Russia, not a participant in it,
$6O,OOO,O00, because her trade
with the Balkans was greatly
injured by it. International
commerce has been the frequent
cause of war, yet at the sans
time it is a very active agent
against it. Merchants whose
business would be killed by war
are not going to be enthusiastic
at the prospect of fighting"
Then there might be mentioned.

Little Rock, May 3d. There

endum petition filed Thursday

Joe Lyons, representing the IL
quor interests of the state, for

Contribute to Silver Service.

The Civic Improvement Club
Of this city has contributed SIS
to the fund to be raised in the
state to furnish silver service
for the Battleship "ArkansaS.
This club hopes it will be
joined by other clubs of the
city who are willing to contrib
ute to the service, which is a
custom of all states who are
represented on the seas by a
monster warship, and it is moth
ing but right that Arkansas
should be willing to render this
service to the dreadnaught that
bears our states name. If
there are any individuals in
Newport who wish to contribute
any amount from twenty-five
cents up they can do so by send
ing it to Misses Leah Jones,
Bertha Hirsch or Lizzie Gullette
any Of whom will gladly re-
ceive the amount and give you
credit and will forward same to
Mr.. Charles Stiff at Little

Two Negroes Captured.

Batesville, May 22.-Deputy
Sheriff Tom Hulsey of Magness
captured Winifred Tomlinson,
who made his escape with two
other men from the Independ-
ence county jail Sunday night.
Tomlinson had lived near Mag
ness, and he simply went to his
home there and went to sleep.
Deputy Marshal A. A. Web
Der caught Walter Ridley, the
federal prisoner, at Paroquet.
Mr.. Weber had been in that
section summoning witnesses
for the federal court, and was
surprised when he saw Ridley
standing near a barn on the
road. He asked Ridley how he
came to be there and Ridley
told him "they let me out" Of
course Mr.. Weber knew that
no one had let him out on pur-
pose, and brought him back to
the city.
Ridley told Mr.. Weber that
the negro, Will Jones, had lib
Grated him and Tomlinson by
picking the jail door lock with a
poker. He stated also that the
negro was with him at the time
when Mr.. Weber came upon
him, but Mr.. Weber did not
know the negro was out, and
when he saw him he just sup
posed the negro belonged on the
place.
Later it was reported that
Jones was seen at Diaz. It is
said that this negro is an ex-con-
vict and bad character. He
was in Jail here on a charge of
drunkenness, and had been ar
rested by the city authorities.
If he is captured, there will be a
charge of Jail breaking against
him, and that will hold him a lit
tie longer than the one of
drunkenness.
The escape of these men has
revived the sentiment for a
new Jail. The jail here is not
adequate, and it would not safe
ly keep a man who had commit
ted any grave offense, if he had
a disposition to want to get out.

The Cost of Motion Pictures.

Few patrons of picture thea
tres have any idea Of the
trouble and expense involved in
producing the various battle
pieces now so popular, says
Answers of London.
In order to film THE Siege of
Petersburg for instance, the
kalem Company built a bridge
longer than London bridge "a
cross an arm Of the Mississippi
and set fire to it. The struc-
ture cost several thousand i9l-
lars and took several weeks to
construct, yet it was destroyed,
for the purpose Of the play, in a
few minutes.
The fort that is mined and
blown up in the same place was
built by contract in less than
one week, but then the contract
or had more than 800 workmen
employed at the job, day and
night. Nearly a quarter OF a
ton of dynamite wa5 used in
the explosion which destroyed
it.
Besides the dynamite, consid-
cradle quantities of gunpowder
were used in the preliminary
bombardment, and this was
kept stored in barrels till want
ed. One day, at rehearsal, a
super was discovered seated
upon a barrel putting contented-
ly at his pipe.
"Put up your pipe, Eill," some
one shouted. you'll blow us all
up"
Bill grinned, and to everyone's
horror slowly knocked the ashes
from his pipe on the top Of the
barrel.
"It's all right" he said cheer
fully. "It's a cask of beer"
FIFTEEN HUNDRED SUPERS
Fifteen hundred supers, OF
whom one thousand were 1ndi-
ans, took part in the popular
film, "The Massacre" and the
American Biograph Company,
which produced it, had to give
each of the redskins a horse a.
piece in order to retain their
services in the long preliminary
rehearsals.
They thoroughly enjoyed their
work-so much so, indee$ that
of those who were told to "die'
early in the play, the majority
preferred to stay "alive" end
fire off their blank cartridges;
50 that the first rehearsal only
resulted in three Fatalities in
stead of about three hundred.
In another film of this kind
the principal scene was the de-
struction of a settlement OF
whites by band of Indian raid
ers, and, so that the sacklng OF
the houses might lack nothing
in realism, a small frontier
town, containing some sixty
dwellings of the usual western
wooden frame type, was pur-
chased and fired.
