CANNON BALL CRASHED

jured man was that evening taken
to St. Louis and placed in the
company hospital.
The work of clearing the wreck
progressed rapidly, and late Sat
urday afternoon the main line was
clear.
THINK TWO BURNED.
Reports from Newport Monday j
say that, in addition to the other
victims of the wreck, it is now be
lieved that a middle-aged man,
probably 45 years old, and his six
year-old son lost their lives in the!
wreck.
h. Fowler, a baseball player of
Chicago en route to Hot Springs, !
is positive that the two were lost.1
He was talking to the father just
before the wreck and found that
i he was from Montreal, Canada.
The kindness of the man to the lit
I tie fellow and his anxiety for his
safety first attracted his attention
| to the two. Both were in the chair
ear when the train went into the
ditch, and Mr. Fowler says they
have not been seen since. Bones
were found in the wreckage to
confirm this belief, which was
shared by the train porter and the
other passengers.

NEGRO DROWNED.
-John Miller, colored, was
drowned last Saturday morning in
the backwater on Capt. L. S. Ar
nold's farm over on White river,
while helping Hob Magness drive
some cattle out to high land. He
I was riding a mule, which became
frightened and began to jump and
paw the water. The mule stood
up on his hind feet, which threw
the negro from the saddle into the j
water, and he never rose. The
body was recovered Sunday morn

VIRTUES OF ALCOHOL

up,” as they very often express it.
Then is when you need alcohol in
some form. Use it freely, and to
your heart's content, and you need
not fear that you will bring a
drunkark into the world. And if
you do not comply with this Di
vine edict, you are certainly re
sponsible for the consequence of
its violation.
We will take the Indians for ex
ample. Their women do all the
hard work and drudgery. And it
is not supposed that they are any
more immune from nature’s laws
than are their white sisters. The
laws of the country prohibit the
sale of alcohol to the Indians in
any way. If they get any, it is in
a clandestine way, and as a race
the Indian is a born drunkard.
Now some of the learned M. IK
or Revs, may, and doubtless will
tell you that this a mistake. But
if they are close students of nature
they will not. „
We think that there is but one!
thing that the M. Ds. agree on,
and that is, that the boil is never!
on bottom upwards. And now
about the ruined homes: There!
are more home* ruined by the ex
cise tax. levied by the government
than by the actual use of liquor.
As spoken above, people inherit a
desire for it. that is, a great many
do, and will have it at any price,
when, if they could get it at nom
inal rates, their homes would In;
happy and prosperous.
W ell, our chapter for next week
will be our closing one. We will
then enumerate some of the indus
tries of the country that would be
affected by prohibition.
