i JUDGE WITH NERVE.
The Attacks on His Character the
Result of Conspiracy.

Result of a Conspiracy.
LITTLE Rock, Ark, June 9.-Judge
Hill, Of the county court, who was
censured by the grand jury, has writ
ten a letter which has caused the
greatest excitement and will doubt
less be used extensively in the coming
campaign. He was elected as an
independent, and is native of
Arkansas. Among other things, he
says: Grand juries never paid any
attention to my administration previ-
Gus to the last election. The cause of
their sudden desire to find something
in my official acts that would cause
my removal only sprang up when /
appointed election judges that would
count votes as they were cast, and
not as the tricksters desired them to
be counted.
These ISLANDERS, libels and base at
tacks upon my character are the re-
suit of damnable conspiracy which
am reliably informed is to result in
my assassination if l can't be got rid
of otherwise. But / now serve notice
upon the conspiratOrs that they can
not intimidate me. and that they can
not make me waver from my deter
minatiOn to administer the affairs of
my Office honestly and for the best
interests of the people Of Pulaski
county.
They had better do their numbering
right quickly, for | am tired of this
corruption in elections and stealing of
ballots, and it shall happen no more
| if live, for / will again appoint
judges who have the nerve to count
the vote fairly and honestly, and the
corruptionlsts who want me out of the,
way will have to come to the clerks
Office and steal them again.
During my administration | have
saved the people $3.50, 900, which form
erly went. God knows where-into
the pockets of corrupt officials, no
dOubt-and | have spent this money
in improving roads, building bridges
and furnishing the county with suit
able building. All this additional
revenue did not increase the taxation
one cent, mind you. 1t was kept out
of the hands and pockets of the
official thieves, that's all,

One Use For Flowers.

From Chatter.
The other day, as a royal train of
Pennsylvania parlor cars pulled out
of the Jersey City depot, a gentle
manly man carrying huge bunch of
lilacs made his way from the rear of
the train to the foremost car, the
smoker. Pressing almost upon the
heels was rather rough-looking fel.
low making the same journey.
1t happened that as [ raised my
eyes 1 saw behind that bunch of lilacs
a pair of shining steel handouts con-
Meeting the gentlemanly mans
wrists. 1t would be interesting to
know whether it was the convict's
idea or that of his keeper to put flow
ers to that strange use. But to my
miEd there was something very poetic
about it.

Rush Continues for WOlfsOn's
Millinery
While others are selling out their
millinary Wolfson adds to his stock
constantly with fresh arrivals of the
most complete and stylish goods.
The business this season, while eX-
pected to be large, has exceeded all
possible calculations. The rush which
began on the opening day has steadi-
ly increased, and in spite of the daily
arrival of fresh new goods, the house
was severely taxed to keep up with
the demands of its patrons. Mr..
Wolfson gave the department his
special attention, increased the work
ing force by the addition of the most
skilled artists, and doubled his daily
orders, until now his stock is again
complete in all details. Ladies' are
invited to call, with the interesting
assurance that they will find prices
from % to 80 per cent, lower than
anywhere else.
These are no advertising lodges to
catch the unwary, but are substantial
facts which can be abundantly veri-
fed by an investigation. ct.

bank. The young man was made
cashier when scarcely past his ma
jority, and was an excellent official.
Mrs. Watkins is quite a young wO-
man, but she and the cashier did not
become acquainted until few months
ago. They were greatly pleased with
each other, and McIlvaIn soon began
visiting her frequently. His atten-
tiOns became so marked that finally
her husband taxed her with her guilt
and drove her away from home. This
was one day last week. Four days
later she got on the train for this city
saying she was coming here to pay a
visit. On the same train was Nell

friends. Mrs. Watkins cried and she
said she wished she had never seen
McIlvain, and he also said he regret
ted having met her. He promised to
leave her in the city and return to
Sulphur, but he never did, and they
have not been seen since. Detectives
have been put at work on the case,
but no trace of either has been dis
