ULATIONS ADOPTED
The Journal Force Assembled in
Council Adopts Rules and
Regulations For 1906.
«
5 < )n the first day of the year 1906
l he Journal force was called to
order by the chief Ramrod vigor- ;
ously pounding the fioor with the i
mallet and (with due apologies to j
the Conway County Banner) the
following rules and regulations
were unanimously adopted:
First: No one connected with
this office whether he be editor,
printer, assistant printer or devil
will be allowed to retain his job
if he is out drunk or otherwise
more than five days in any one
week.
Second: The Journal does not
•care to advertise free of charge
any wholesale liquor house by |
having its customers acting pan
tomines in the office during office
hours.
Third: The Journal expects its
force to put in at least two hours
a day at actual work and be paid
according to their work.
Fourth: Parties who have pri
vate business with any of The
Journal force which will cause a
detention from work of more than
six hours in any one day will
please call on said party at night
or on Sunday.
Fifth: The Journal office is al-;
ways open to callers at all hours
during the day and we are willing
that a few hours time and half a
hundred daily or weekly papers
be devoted to their entertainment.
Sixth: The Journal office is not
a place for wholesale profanity
and obscenity, even though there
be no ladies present, and we ask
all callers to breathe at least once
between such words.
beventh: We are always glarl
to receive and publish 'terns of
general or local interest free of
charge but do not wish them lo
calized down to a mans own pri
vate business interests.
Eighth: We expect to be reas
onable to our subscribers and oth
ers in our charges and we ask that
they be equally reasonable in their
time for payment.
Ninth: We ask you to give the i
devil his dues also the printer and
especially the editor.
Tenth: We ask all parties re
gardless of race, color or previous
condition of servitude to subscribe
for and support The Journal and
it will try to rightly divide the
truth from error and give you
pure and undefiled democracy in
some form.
Eleventh: The Journal is pub
lished at Newark, in Big Bottom
township, which, under the cir
cumstances, is the most democrat
ic township in the county; and
such being the case the editor of
'File Journal has resolved not to
refuse any piece of pie however
small, especially sudi pie as is
commonly distributed by county
officials to newspaper men.
Twelfth: Owing to the fact
that a newspaper man is human,
and, therefore, has to occasionally
eat something, and there being a
probability that he would be ar
rested if he should attempt to go
about the town without any clothes
upon his person, it is hereby re
solved that this office will not re
fuse subscriptions, job work, local
or other ads from merchants,cards
from physicians, or, in fact, any
other business which might help
to defray the many expenses of
the office and furnish the neces
saries of life for the editor and his
family.

PRIVATE CARS ASSESSED.
After wrestling with the prob
lem for several months, the State
Hoard of Railway Assessment has
fixed the assessments on eight of
the private ear companies operat
ing in Arkansss. Action on sev
eral other companies was deferred
and it is probable that some of the
companies will escape altogether
this year, owing to the inability
of the board to secure data upon
which to base their assessments.
The assessments were madt
Monday afternoon at a meeting oi
the board, held in the office of tin
secretary of state, at Little Rock
with Governor Davis, Stnte Audi
tor Moore and Secretary of Stati
Ludwig, all the members of tlu
board, present. It was decided t<
assess all the cars upon the bash
of $500 a car.
The assessments made repre
sente a total valuation of *1 2*5,
000,' and as the average tax i:
about 19 mills, it will represent :
total revenue to the state of abou
$2,720. it is expected that thi
! amount will be greatly increase*
next year. The assessments will
now be certified out to the various
counties by the secretary of state,
and the taxes will be payable by
the several car companies to the
various counties, through which
they operate before April 10.
DESPERADO AT DEERE
_
Unknown Desperado Seriously In
jures Two Men Before He is
Finally Killed.
Beebe, Dec. 30. In a pitched
battle here yesterday between an
unknown desperado and town of
ficials, Richard Doss, a barber,
and Forrest Hastings were ser
| iously shot and the desperado fa
tally shot by Robert Woodward,
an express employe, before the
| unknown man put a bullet through
his own heart. The trouble arose
between Brakeman C. F. Smain
of the Iron Mountain and the
i stranger when the former tried to
i put him off a freight train on
which he was beating his way. In
| the words which followed the un
known man shot Smain in the
I
hand. The report of the pistol
attracted the officers,who attempt
I ed to arrest the man, when the
shooting occurred as outlined, the
injured men being bystanders.
The stranger held the officer at
I bay, loading and emptying his re
volver at them three times, be
fore Woodward, emptying the
contents of a shotgun into the
j man’s body, commanded him to
; surrender. In reply the man
placed his pistol to his own breast
! and shot himself, dying about an
hour later. The man would not
reveal his idenity, saying that he
was a much-hunted man and that
he had killed eight men in his
! lifetime.
Hastings, who was shot in the
| breast, and Doss, who was shot
' through the legs, are in a serious
1 condition.

Rev. J. I. Martin Writes of Thing*
Seen and heard in East
e r n Oklahoma.
Mr. Editor, I am still in thi«t
western country. Christmas Day
we, that is my two children and I*
drove to Stroud. It is a pretty
drive of about fifteen miles froru
the home of my wife’s sister, over
a rolling prairie. We saw some
splendid farms. There is some
corn and cotton still in the fields.
They shuck the corn here in the
fields.
We arrived at Stroud about ♦
p. m. Everybody seemed quiet,
though 1 saw one Indian had toe
much “booze.” I learned that
there were to be two Christmas
trees in town, and, of course, we
vveet to the one given by the Bap
tists. It was a success. A good
program was rendered, and there
was such a crowd that one could
hardly find standing room.
1 preached here in May 190.'
but since then they have built %
nice church house. I met a few
who 1 had met then. I was back
here and preached by request the
fifth Sunday night. I repeat what
I wrote last year, that Stroud i*
one of the prettiest towns 1 ever
saw.
I concluded to go back to Wa
nette, so on December 26 I took
the early train to Chandler
and spent a few hours. Chandler
is the county -site of Lincoln coun
ty. it is a good town of several
thousand inhabitants, and does a.
big business. Next morning the
passenger was about four hours
late, so did not get to Wanette tilt
in the afternoon, but friend Moore
came after me and 1 went out with
him and spent two nights very
pleasantly. 1 came to Shawnee
next day, but as is usual with lo
cal trains, it was late, and 1 miss
ed connection and had to spend
the night in Shawnee again, t
learned that there would be a re
ception at the Baptist church. I
was invited to attend, which 1 ae
cepted and spent a very pleasant
evening. A lady missionary who
had worked in Chicago, made a.
good talk and told us something
I of her work in Chicago and what
she wanted to do here. She ha’*
only been here two months, and
her work for the most part is
among the poor and neglected.
She goes to their homes and talk*
to the women and children and
helps them in this private way L>
a better life. She is supported
by the Woman’s Baptist Mission
ary Society and the church hem
jointly. We had some good mus
ic at the reception and it was *
very social gathering. They lay
oil all formalities and make every
body feel at home. J. 1. Martin.
