Officers at Clarksville Have Twc
Men Under Arrest and Will
Likely Qet Others
Clarksville, Feb- 17.—Three
men have been hi rested suspected
of compti ity in the robbery ol
the Hank of Clarksville and the
murder of Sheriff Powers.
They are .Jim Dalton, a citizen
of this county, Will Hudson ami
-Tom Kfister.
It is thought now that at leasl
five men were implicated in the
crime, and the officers think they
have two of the men directly con
cerned-Dalton and Keister, ilud
son, it is thought, knows all
about the plans of the gang and
will be forced to tell what lit
knows. It is a deep laid plot and
its origin supposedly in the coal
mines at Spadra and Denning.
The man, Tubbs, arrested neai
Harrison was brought in Friday
night hut gives a very «»od ac
count of his whereabouts at the
time and can probably estab
lish an alibi.
Trained and experienced offic
ers, assisted by two Pinkettou
detectives, are w irking on tlx
cace and will have the matter well
in hand in the course of a few
days.
Excitment is still at fever heat
and every citizen of the county if
anxious to see the murderers of
their gallant sheriff brought t<
iustiee.

Chicago, Feh. 15.—One of the
pair of monster ‘ decapods,” oi
engines witli t< n diivets, recently
delivered to the Saute Fe railroad
has just passed through Chicago.
The locomotives are intended
for the mountain division, am
will ruu iu Cahforuia and Arizo
nn. They will burn oil for fuel,
ami will curry 225 pounds of
steam pressure.
Their massive drivers arc 57
inches in diameter and each en
gine can haul a load of 2,100 tons
up a 50-foot grade.
It is intended to have the sin
gle engines do the wtrk formerly
accomplished hy “double-header”
trains.
The weight of each is 250,800
pounds, or five tons more than
the largest engine previously con
structed.
The boiler stands so high that
the stack is a dwarfed affair,
scarcely a foot high. This limit
of height is enforced by the size
of the tunnels and bridges.

Clerk's Wise Suggestion.
“I have been very much troubl
ed with dispepsia, belching and
sour stomach.'’ writes M.S. Mead
leading pharmacist, of Attleboro,
Mass. “I could eat hardly any
thing without suffering several
hours. My clerk suggested that 1
try Kodol Dyspepsia Cuie which
1 did with most happy results. 1
have had no more trouble and
when one can go to eating mince
pie, cheese, candy and nuts after
sueii a time, thei; digestion must
be pretty good. I endorse Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure heartily.” You
don’t have to diet. Eat all the
good food you want but don’t
overload the stomach. Kodol
Dyspepsia Cuie digests your
food. J. I. Sturdivant.
Admiral Sampson’s Condition.
Real Admiral Sampson's phy
sician, iu a recent: interview said :
"The admiral is by no means a
will man, hut the report *hat he
is in imminent danger of death is
unfounded. I expect him to live
! for several months.'’
The l^ast Heard Of It.
“M.y little hoy took the croup
one night and soon grew so had
you could hear him hreath all
over the house," says F. I). Rey
nold, Manstield, (). “We feared
he would die, hut a few doses of
One Minute Cough Curo quickly
-elieved him and he went to sleep.
That's the last we heard of the
erouy. Now isn't a cough cure
like that valuable?" One Minute
Cough Cure is absolutely sate and
acts imr-ediatel}. Foi coughs,
colds, croup, grin, bronchitis and
ail other throat and lung troubles
it is a certain cure. Very pleasant
to take. The little ones like it.

Saved Him From Torture.
There is no more agonizing
trouble than piles. The constant
itching and burning make life in
tolerable. No position is comfort
able. The torture is unceasing.
DeWitt's V\ itch Hazel Salve cur
es piles at once. For skin diseas
es, cuts, bums, biuises, all kind
of wounds il is unequalled. J. S.
derail, of St. Paul, Ark., says
"From 18t>5 I suffered with the
protruding, bleeding piles and
could find nothing to heip me un
til I used DeWitt's Witch Hazel
Salve. A tew boxes completely
cured me.” Beware of counter
feits. J. I. Sturdivant.

DK.MOCRATS Al:K 1’LKA'KI).
Dem erati are pleased at the
seemingly well founded report
that the republican members of
the Senate Finance Committee
have ah,int decided that the bill
repealing all the war taxes, which
recently passed the ILmse and is
now before the senate, shall be
cut to the extent o« $ JO,(KM),000
or OOO.OiH). It* otner words,
that one fourth or moie nt the
war taxes shall he left standing.
, If the republican senators will
only live up to this report, the

next House being democratic will
be wipt d out.

Senator Hoir. in a lilt with
Senator Platt, over lie Pkdip
pine policy of Lite administration,
said of some of Governoi Tuft’s
statements; “1 have learned to
trust men, even the greatest ami
host men, not l*y what tliey say,
hut l»y what they do, and when
Governor Taft says the Filipino
people want independence, and
says at the same time that nob )dv
shall express that desire above
bis breath, 1 distrust his opinion
and look for evidence of the fact.
When he says that people are en
joying American freedom, when
he promulgates a law which alt lie

CUBANS MAKING A 1’ROKIT.
It is now charged by those rep

have pulled the wool over Gen.
Wood's eyes, and, instead of

‘as Gen. Wood has said, they are

Railroad Accident.
Lillie Rook. Fob. I I. A fearful
accident oeourodat 1Oo'clock today
on the Choctaw railroad, twomilos
west of Little Maumelle, about
twenty miles above Little ltoek,
as a result of which seven men are
known to have been killed outright,
and nearly a score, more or less,
seriously injured. It is tin; tirsfc
great catastrophe of the kind that
lias ever occurred on the Choctaw.
A work train was headed west,
the engine pushing six cars and a
caboose. As they were passing
| along the track under the high
Mulls bordering the river at that
point, the crew saw a heavy rock
rolling with awful velocity down
the steep declivity, having been
| detached from the hillside by the
rains. The train was going slow
ly. hut was almost, upon the rock
when it struck the track. Kngineer
.\azor reversed his engine at once,
but it was so close upon the ob
stacle that the train struck it alnist
full force. I lie caboose was .at
the head of the train and was shiv
ered into splinters.
Most of the men who were killed
and injured were in the caboose.
There was a crew of fifty-four
men, white and colored, and they
were going to a point further up
i the road to clear a slight wreck.
I There were just hack of the ca
boose three cars of sand, and many
of the men were buried under
neath the heap of sand thrown
forward hy the terrific impact.
Th# Late Mrt. Kruger.
Vnlike Countess (afterward
Princess) Bismarck, Mr*. Kruger
never interrupted on this or that pre
text her husband’s political confab*
or interviews with strangers. Nordid
she express her opinions, except on
the most trivial matters, to her fa

probably have echoed the opinion of
the iron chancellor’s wife, to the ef
fect that the smallest turnip field was
of really more personal importance

problem of the world’s politics. Of
course, Fraulein Johanna von Putt
kainmer originally belonged toasec
