ARKANSAS TRAGEDY.
Citizens Fall Out About a Law
suit—One Is Killed and
Four Wounded.
Little Rock, Ark , April 12.—A
tragedy t<ok place yesterday at
Deview, Ark., between a number of
citizens of that place, in which R.
C. Ashburn was instantly killed,
A. J. Black and his son, Lee, fa
tally wounded, Alex Miller had his
arm broken and Henry Miller was
badly shot in the arm. B. M.
Ashburn and several others were
shot and more or less seriously
wounded.
The senior Ashburn had been
prosecuted by A. J. Black in a jus
tice’s court for perjury and the ev
idence of the contending parties
had been directly opposite, each
side doubtless believing that their
side had testified truthfully.
This trial took place at McCrory
and each party returning home
had to pass through Deview, a
small village two miles south of
McCrory. Ashburn and his son
arrived first, and when the Black
party came up Ashburn
walked out with a double barreled
shotgun and told Black that he
had sworn lies, and leveled his
gun, which snapped. Black fired
with a pistol, and is supposed to
have hit the elder Ashburn in the
heart, who, as he fell fired, hitting
Black in the leg. Then the firing
became general. Black was also
badly beaten, and had not gained
consciousness up to a late hour
last evening. Young Black was
shot at the same time, his entire
shoulder being torn off. Young
Ashburn escaped with the loss of
a finger. The Millers and Ash
burns are among the most pros
perous farmers of the section.

Gazing dreamily at the “God-

wall, says the Baltimore Ameri
can, the boarder with the freckles
on his nose continued: “Yes, it
really gives me great pleasure to
notice that the butter is convales
cing!”
The man with the barbed-wire
beard looked unhappy, and an ex
pression of contempt, not unmix
ed, however, with curiosity flitted
across the face of the landlady.
“Convalescing!” she replied;
“what do you mean?”
The man with the yellow whis
kers smiled expectantly.
The man with the freckles on
his nose nerved himself for the or
deal, and replied: “Because it
grows stronger every day .”
During the excitement that fol
lowed the man with the double
chin helped himself to the last
slice of bread on the the table.

The Newberger Cotton Company,
of Grenada, Miss., has issued a cir
cular, in the course of which it says,
with respect to the new cotton
crop, that in the section tributary
to Grenada “preparations are be
ing made for the largest crop in
its history.’* The reason given
is that “the land needs no fer
tilizers, and is well adapted to the
raising of cotton, and no other
crop can be made that is profit
able.” The same can probably be
said of considerable areas in Tex
as, where the acreage is being con-1
stantly increased. The South At- 1
lantic section will be forced to see
before a great while that it can
not produce cotton in competition .

THE FILIPINO WAR.
Predicted That We Will Have to
Send 100,000 Soldiers
There.
Manila, April 7, via Hong Kong,
April 10. —Though hundreds of the
Filipinos are daily returning to
their homes, and are desirous of
resuming peaceful pursuits, and
though the proclamation issued by
the United States Philippine Com
mission has given impetus to this
movement, the war is far from
ended.
One of the foremost American
generals said recently: “We must
seo a hundred thousand soldiers in
the Philippines before the Amer
icans control the islands.” And a
majority of the army are of his
opinion. It is generally consid
ered that great reinforcements are
necessary, there not being a suf
ficient number of American troops
in the archibelago to make a con
quest of the island of Luzon and
hold theports occupied; and it is
thought that it would be cheaper
in the long run and have a better
effect upon the natives to estab
lish American supremacy effect
ively and quickly than to tempo
rize with a score of rebellions.
All the stories told by the pris
oners and friendly natives agree
that a majority of the insurgents
would be glad to quit, but there
are enough professional revolution
ists left to infest the country with
bands of hundreds of men to de
moralize business for years to
come. _

‘My left li g,” said the candidate
for sheriff, “was shot off in the civ

bones of that leg are bleaching in
the valleys of Virginia. What can
my opponent say to that? I pause
for a reply I”
“I can say lots to that fellow-cit
izens,” said the rival candidate, as
he mounted the stump: “I had the
rheumatism,’when the war broke out
but I hired three men to go and
fight for me. Each man of them
had his right leg shot off, and today
—yes, today—the bones of those
three right legs—and not one of
them was as bow-legged as my
friend is—are bleaching on the
plains of Tennessee! ” —Atlanta

You can’t keep a good thing
down. News of it travels fast.
When things are “the best” they
become “the best selling.” Abra
ham Hare, a leading druggist, of
Belleville, 0., writes: “Electric
Bitters are the best selling bitters
I have ever handled in my 20years
experience.” You know why?
Most diseases begin in disorders of
stomach, liver, kidneys, bowels,
blood and nerves. Electric Bitters
tones up the stomach, regulates
liver, kidneys and bowels, purifies
the blood, strengthens the nerves,
hence cures multitudes of mala
dies. It builds up the entire sys

A close observer makes the fol
lowing sensible statement to a
Western newspaper.
“I ve seen no girl unfaithful to
hermother that ever came to be
worth a one-eyed button to her hus
band. I’m talking to the boys this
time. If one of you boys ever come
across a girl with a face full of
roses who says as you come to the
door, ‘I can’t go for thirty min
utes, for the dishes are not washed,’
you wait for that girl. You sit
down on the doorstep and wait for
her ’cause some other fellow may
come along and carry her off, and
right there you have lost an angel.
Wait for that girl, and stick to her
like a burr to a mule’s tail.”

NEW TRIAL DENIED
And Bridges Sentenced to Frur
Years.
The motion for a new trial in
the case of W. M. Bridges, convict
ed of embezzlement for a second
time last January, was heard in
Rome before Judge Henry last
Tuesday.
Judge Henry overruled the mo
tion and sentenced Bridges to four
years in the penitentiary. The
bond was fixed at SB,OOO and pend
ing its execution Bridges occupies
a cell in the county jail.
The argument of the motion for
new trial occupied nearly two days
and every inch of the ground was
closely contested. The, evidence
was exceedingly voluminous and
required much time to go through
with it.
The overruling of the motion
was expected and now the case
goes to the supreme court for a
second time.
Bridges was sentenced to five
years in the penitentiary in the
previous trial, but secured a now
trial on technicalities.
When the last jury made its ver
dict it recommended that Bridges
be punished for a misdemeanor.
Many thought ho would be fined,
but the recommendation was en
tirely optional with the judge.

Why He Did Not Hang On.
A workman repairing the roof
of ono of the highest buildings
lost his footing and fell. Striking
a telegraph line in his fall he man
aged to grasp it. “Hang on for
your life!” shouted a follow work
man. Some of the spectators
rushed off to get a matress on
which ho cou d drop. But the
workman, after holding on for a
few second longer, suddenly cried
out, “Sthand from undher!” drop
ped and lay senseless in the street.
He was brought to the hospital,
and on recovery was asked why he
did not hang on longer. “Shore, I
was afraid the wire wud brake,”
he feebly replied.—New York Trib
