Miss Maude Pillow Sues Eor Damag
es Sustained in Street Car
Wreck at Texarkana.
Texarkana, Ark. Nov. 19.—Missi
Maude Pillow has brought suit in
United States court here against
the Main Electric Light and 1 rac
lion Company for $50,000 damag
es, she alleges she sustained at the
hands of the defendant on the
Fourth of July. At that time the j
plaintiff was riding with a com- j
panion in a surrey, when the
horse ran away, and as the vehicle |
was being drawn across the street
railway track it was dashed into
by an electric car. Three persons]
were killed, and Miss Pillow, the
plaintiff, has both feet crushed off
at the ankle, rendering her a help
less cripple for life.
Doesn’t Respect Old Age.
It's shameful when youth fails
to show proper respect for old
age, but just the contrary in the
case ot Dr. King’s New Life Pills.
They cut off maladies no matter
how severe and iriespective of
old age. Dyspepsia, jaundice,
fever, constipation all yield to
this perfect pill 25c, at J. 1
Sturdivant’s Drug Store.
A HOME WILL BE BUILT
F. & A. M. Grand Lodge Takes Steps
For the Election Of An Or
phans Home.
In its account of the meeting o!
the Masonic Grand Lodge which
closed at Little Rock Thursday,
the Democrat says that the edict
for the establishment of an or
phan’s home was referred to a
special committee, of which Hon.
C. A. Bridewell of Hope was nam
ed as chairman. The committee
is to consider the subject in vaca
tion, and when it has agreed upon
a plan the same is to be submitted
to the lodges of the state, to he
acted on at the next session of the
grand lodge, in November, 1905.
The edict as introduced before
the grand lodge at this session by
Grand Secretary Fay Hempstead
contemplated the establishment ot
the home at Little Rock, the funds
for the building of it and its main
tenance to be gathered from the
surplus rents of the grand lodge
funds, and some eight thousand
dollars of the Temple debt fund
which will remain in hand after
the full payment, of the bonds at
present outstanding.
The home contemplated by the
proposed edict is to lx1 governed
by a board of trustees to be elect
ed each year by the grand lodge,
they to serve one year. The
grand lodge did a generous act to
wards the order of the Eastern
Star by providing that the ladies
may also have representation on
the board of trustees. The board
is to provide for the care and
maintenance of the orphan child
ren of deceased Master Masons ot
lodges of Arkansas.
This plan may not be adopted,
and the committee may decide up
on another. It is certain, howev
er, that the home will be built.
Robert Lilly, an 8-year-old ne
gro boy was burned to death at
Wrightville Friday.

ROOSEVELT STANDS
PAT ON NEGRO POLICY
Announces That Negro Policy Will
Remain Unchanged.
President Says That His Actions With
Regard to the Negro Has
Been Misconstrued.
The news comes from Washing
ton that President Roosevelt will
have no new negro policy, as some
of his gratuitous spokesmen
would have the country believe.
The President has spoken and it is
the old, old story; he simply
muiius [Kii.
II*1 said substantially to several
intimate friends recently that his
negro policy, if there was such a
policy, would remain unchanged,
lie said that he would continue to
recognize merit and worth regard
less of imaginary boundaries, and
that he proposes to be for the next
four years, as he had been during
the past three years of his tenure
in office, “the President of the
i whole people.” President Roose
velt, said that his actions with re
gard to the negro had been mis
construed and misstated, and that
when such ceased to be the case he
j felt that his position on the sub
! ject would be understood in its
proper light.
The President did not state
whether he would appoint such
negroes as Dr.Crum, of Charleston
to responsible positions in the
South, or whether he would boy
cott a whole community, as in the
case of the Indianola, Miss, post
office matter because the best peo
ple of the town did not want a ne
gro postmistress. While this fea
ture of this “stand pat"' negro pol
icy was not discussed, it remains
to be seen whether Rooseveltism
during the next four years will
manifest itself as in the Crum and
Minnie Cox episodes.
The President also stated that
he did not believe in negro social
equality either North or South
and that the Booker Washington
incident should never have been
construed as placing him in that
attitude. While there is talk of
President Roosevelt visiting Geor
gia some time this winter, nothing
definite has been determined in
that direction. In fact the chances
would seem to be against the trip,
as the President can not be away
during the session of Congress. It
h*' does go South, however, he
will probably discuss the negro
question with a view to stating his
position to bis own satislaction.
OLD CITIZEN A SUICIDE.
DeWitt, Ark., Nov. 18. John
Burris, an old citizen of Keaton
township, this county, committed
suicide yesterday morning by
shooting himself with a shotgun.
He had been drinking quite heav
ily for some time, and was almost
a mental wreck. Yesterday morn-;
ing about 6 o’clock he left his j
house, went over to the house ot
a negro near by, borrowed a shot- i
gun, loaded with buckshot. He
then went out in the Held propped
himself against a tree, placed the
! gun against his breast, took a stick,
placed it against the trigger and
1 fired. He was found about an
| hour later, dead.
