France, in the latter part of 1913 and
the beginning of 1914, was in a very I'M
settled condition. Napoleon had carried
on brilliant but weakening campaigns,
and even the dazzling glory of the great
commanders exploits in the face of all
Europe could not dispel the shadows
which had begun to gather about him at
the capital and throughout France. Nor
was the prospect beyond the realm any
more encouraging. Bernadotte, Grown
Prince of Sweden, and late companion
of the Emperor, was coming down from
the north with 100, 900 men; and Murat.
King of Naples, Napoleon's own brother
in-law, had entered into a secret treaty
with Austria for the expulsion of the
French in PNly. The gloom around Ma
poleon deepened, until the allies sue
ceeded in reaching the exterior defenses
of Paris, and the capital, which for SO
many years had dictated law to all other
capitals, was obliged to capitulate, and
the allies entered Paris amid the accla-
nations of the people. The Senate
turned their back on Napoleon and de-
clared that by arbitrary acts and vio-
lations of the constitution he had for
feited the throne, and absolved all
Frenchmen from their allegiance. His
own generals insisted that he ought to
abdicate, and he signed the surrender of
his power. He was allowed the sover-
eighty Of the Isle of Elba, with reve-
enue of 5000, 900 francs (sl, 200, 0OO).
Ten months later he was invited to re-
turn to France by conspiracy of old
Republicans joined by Bonapartists. He
escaped from Elba February 26, 1915,
and landed at Cannes March l with an
escort composed Of about 1000 of his
Old Guard. And 100 days after lie had
resumed power his last act on the stage
of Europe was PLAYED out, and the sec
ond and last abdication was signe,,,

HELENA. Ark, April 8.

HELENA, Ark, April 3.
The flood with all its inconvenience is still
upon the people, and it will still be four or five
weeks before the ordinary business of life can
be started. The water falls SO slowly that it is
barely percephble, and then where it has fallen
it shows the terrible destruction that has been
wrought by the water.
The levee up and down the river on both
sides is a perfect wreck, and in many
places there is total disappearance of
all the smaller houses A gentleman
just in from the Oldtown region gives
terrible account of the suffering. The buffalo
gnats are becoming the most terrible plague
ever known in this country. They are killing
and destroying animals by the wholesale. It
ls common sight to see in the upper portion
of the town mules drawing wagon with tin
bucket of smoking Goals, method taken to
drive the gnats away. The smell of the dead
ANIMALS is something appalling, and
ought to be killed and put out of their
misery. The buEzards are flying IL thousands,
and have become as tame as chickens. In Tun-
lea county the situation is terrible. There is
no chance OF starting crop for many weeks yet
to come. There must elapse many years before
the effect Of this disaster will pass away. The

In Lee county most of the ground is covered
with seven feet of water, and the cattle are
dying very fast. There is fairer outlook along

there are some spots of ground to be seen.
There is reason to hope that they begin blowing

A Memphis dispatch says; "The river con-
tinues to decline steadily; it has fallen twenty
seven inches from its highest point. Between
here and Helena, Ark, land on both sides of
the river is coming gradually to view. Above
the decline has been greater and the prospects
are proportiOnately brighter for the farmers"

The weak points of horse can be
discovered better while standing than
while moving. If he is sound he will
stand firmly and squarely on his limbs
without moving any Of them, with legs
plumb and naturally poised. If one
foot is thrown forward with the toe
pointing to the ground and the heel
raised, or if the foot is lifted from the
ground and the weight taken from it.
disease may be expected, or at least
tenderness, which is precursor of
disease.
If the horse stands with his feet
spread apart or straddles with the hind
legs, there is a weakness in the loins
and the kidneys are disordered. Heavy
pulling bends the knees. Blush or
milky cast eyes in horses indicate moon
blindness or something else.
A bad tempered horse keeps his ears
thrown back. A kicking horse is apt to
have SCARED legs. A stumbling horse
has blemished knees. When the skin is
rough and hard, and does not move cas-
lily and smoothly to the touch, the horse
is heavy eater and his digestion is bad.
Never buy horse whose respiratory
organs are at all impaired. Place your
ear at the side of the heart, and if
wheeling noise is heard, it is an indica-
ton of trouble-let him go.

A Reformed Robbers Confession
KANSAS CRY. April 8


Dick Liddel, one of the old James boys gang,
who has been in the custody of the officers for
some time, has made full confession, and
told everything connected with the gang, and
given full details OF all their operations since
the close of the war. The officers refuse to
make the statement pubic, but it is
known that he tells all about who harbored
and fed and protected them during their raids
into Missouri. The officers have all the names,
and when known they will create grand sen
sation. Other arrests will come. After the
Blue Cut train robbery, the gang went to the
home of the mother of the James boys, in
Clay county, where quarrel took place, and
Jesse James killed Ed Miller. Then they went
to Kentucky, and stopped with the father of
JEFF and Wood Hite. Old man Hite
had a young wife, and Dick Liddel be-
came enamored Iof her. This led to
a quarrel between Wood Hite and
Liddel, and the former was killed. Wood Hite
being cousin of Jesse James, the latter swore
vengeance, but Liddel escaped, and through his
wife opened negotiations with the authorities
to surrender. He was promised immunityif he
would tell all and assist in looking up the gang.
The first result was the arrest and sentence of
JEFF Hlte to twenty-five years in the peniten-
tiary, for which a reward OF $1,000 was paid.
OF this reward it is believed the officers have
given Liddel $780,

A QUARTERS FAILURES.
The Reports of the First Three

The returns of business failures throughout
the United States for the three months ending

292; Middle, sos; Southern, TOO; West
ern, 523; Pacific States and Territories, 167.
Total, 2,19O, with liabilities of 3O,338, 27l.
This is large increase over the corresponding
quarter of 1881, when the failures numbered
1,76l, with S24, 437, $50 liabilities. The increase
in the loss by bad debts this year is, there

900, but in 1879 they were $40, 100000, and in
1878 S82 900, 900 for g. 1886 failures, So, as COM
pared with the first quarter Of 1878, the first
quarter of 1882 shows good advantage, with

tiles. In the Dominion of Canada the failures
