MAT ROBINSON SAYS HIS HOUSE
WAS BROKEN INTO TUESDAY.
Tuesday afternoon, while my wife
and myself were away from home,
some one pried open one of the win*
dows of my house, entered it, and stole
a pistol, an eight-doll ar gold ring
and fifty dollars in money. There
were three men who broke into my
house, they being seen by several
people in the neighborhood. The
pistol being the only thing stolen that
I can positively identify, I will offer a
reasonable reward to any one who
will find it. Furthermore, if the
goods are riot returned by tomorrow
morning, I will make another state
ment, giving the names of the three
men who entered my house.

Got. Davis Charged With Drnnken-
ness and Gambling.
Little Rock, Ark., April 23.—At a
meeting of the Second Baptist church
congregation, the discipline committee
presented charges against Governor
Jefferson Davis, who is a member of
the church. Tfhe allegations accuse
the governor of profanity, drunken
ness and gambling. It was decided
by the congregation to appoint a com
mittee of three to wait on the gov
ernor and demand of him a statement
as to whether the charges are true or
not. No further action was taken by
the church at tonight’s meeting. Gov*
Davis is out of the state on a vacation
tonr, and is not expected to return
until about June 1. Until his return
no further steps will be taken in the
The Jewish Passover.
On Monday evening, at 0 o’clock,
was inaugurated the Jewish Passover.
During tho seven days following no
leavened bread will eaten by any
orthodox Jew. In some cases all
worldly pursuits will be laid aside.
This period Is held to be moat sacred
and holy by all Jews. All over the
globe, wherever the Jew is found, and
he ie found almoet everywhere, this
period is observed with all the an-’
dent rites which have been handed
down, through the long ages, since
this wonderful people were dispersed
over the habitable globe.
Thursday a dally.
Shortly after 11 o'clock last night a
fire broke out in the old Knox building
near' the court house, and spread so
rapidly that the entire building was
completely enveloped in flames before
the fire department arrived.
Chief Singleton and his men quickly
responded to the call and were upon
the scene a very few minutes after the
alarm was sent in. By this time
sparks were falling in every direction
and the two adjoining buildings, be
longing to Folks and Highsmith, were
in 'flames. The firemen worked hard
to save them, but the fire had madesuch
quick headway that this was Impossb
ble. Mr. John Lott’s residence wss in
great danger, and good work was done
in protecting it. The Mellon building
just across the street was threatened,
the wind fan log the sparks iu that dl-
rection. At one time it was smoking,
and would probably have been de»<
troyed but for the timely attention of
the fire laddies.
At about 12 o’clock the fire was un<
der control. The Knox building, High*
smith and Folks buildings, were burn
ed to the ground, as also were several
surrounding outhouses and board
fences. All the buildings were frame.
The total lots will probably not exceed
$1,000 or $1,200.
The Knox building, in which the
fire broke out, was used by J. M. Satch-
well, the sign painter, as a shop. Iiis
loss is $700; no insurance. The building
was insured for $300. The tfighsmitti
building carried $800 insurance. It
was occupied by Mr, A. J. Sweat as a
store. He succeeded in saying most of
his stock, so that the loss is not much
over $100. No insurance. Mr. W. M.
Russell had a carpenter shop in the
Folks building. He lost $20 or $25
worth of tools.
It U thought that the fire was the
work of an incendiary and that the
house was saturated with oil, so quick
ly did the flames burst into view.
Up to within a few days ago the
stolen goods recovered by the railroad
detectives were stored in one of the
burned buildings. They were, how
ever, moved oyer to the jail seme days
ago. t
HE IS NOW CHARGED WITH AS*
SAULTWITH INTENT TO MURDER.
Thursday's daily.
Quite an exciting scene occurred this
morning near the Southern hotel, as
the result of a difficulty between “Doc 1
Howell and W. D. Cobb. Mr. Cobb
had just* left the post office and met
Howell on the street in front of the
Gem Pharmacy. A short conversation
regarding the recent car robberies eu
sued,the lie was passed, and a fist fight
followed. Being seemingly worsted,
Howell drew a knife and used it upon
Cobb with telling effect. The mec
wore separated by those who had gath-
ered about.
Mr. Cobb’s face was cutconsidersbly
and his cost wss literally shredded
It is a miracle how he escaped serious
injury. He was taken to the hospital
and his wounds dressed. Seen on the
streets a few hours later, though
slightly disfigured, he seemed in excel
lent spirits.
Howell was arrested by City Police
men Cottiogham, but promptly gave
bond for his appearance in Mayor’s
court He was subsequently arrested
'by Deputy Marshal Cason upon a war
rant charging him with assault with
intent 1 to murder. The grand jury
which is in session, promptly found a
bill against him for this charge, and
one against Cobb for assault and bat-
tety.
Howell was arrested here some time
ago for complicity In the Plant System
car robbench, but was released nnder
bond. Cobb is a railroad detective,
and one of the principal witnesses to
appear against Howell in the trial
the trusts and let a free people have
competition and tiie living prices that
follow! The triumph of democracy
Will be' the downfall of trusts.

promptu speeches since he began his

How To l ight The Trusts.
The recent antics of some of the
trusts, notably the beef trust, in rais
ing the prices of meats, food and other
necessaries of life, are creating almost
universal indignation against those
masterpieces of rennblican creation.
Even the grave and reverend senators
and agile representatives who formed
the phalanx of protection around the
American cow and feed her from the
competition of the oleomargarine mills,
are now kicking like tick-bitten steers
st the size of their sure-thing-bntter
bills! In many of the newspapers and
Iu many localities folks are busy devis
ing schemes to best the trusts.' Home
communities have resolved to "Cat no
flesh while the world standeth,” unless
the trusts falls back to reasonable
prices. Others advise the boycott pol
icy against all articles controlled and
enhanced in prices by the trusts. But
we fear that species of reprisal will
not work all right If meat is too high
we ctn of course, do without our steak
snd substitute fish, fowl oregga If
butter - is too costly, we can fall bacb
on machine butter without being fin-
nieky and asking it to'wear a mask
Or we can resort to gravy and top!
Possibly we could, now that the weath
er is warmer and the frost out of the
ground buck the leather trust by going
barefooted. Bet whet about the cloth
ing trust? Ah, there’s rub! Seriously,
however, there is but one effectual
way * known unto men by which the
trusts can be dealt with properly and
success oily. That way is ready to the
hand of every anti-trust citizen in the
natioo. Let iin vote for the demo
cratic party, wboee creed is eternal
enmity to trusts, monopolies and grafts
of every order. Elect a democratic
president and congress to break*op the
tariff bounties that create and fatten
