SAFE ROBBERY
BRANDED A LIAR.
whereupon His Fistic Blows aud Chair
 Smashing Follow.

JAcKsoNPoRT, ARK, Sept. 25. "A bold and successful robbery has just beer committed here. Thieves en- tered the store of Adam Bach, took up his burglsr-proof Hall safe, car ried it down under cover of the river bank, drilled it, charged it with powder, and blew it to pieces. They secured S400. Another safe in the store, small and insignificant, looking, was left undisturbed, yet it contained more money than the one robbed. The thieves also entered the drug store of Geo. Redmsn, but took nothing. They broke into Adam Backs saloon, and took 8 supply of Ehiskey and champagne. It is supposed that they received 8 scare while in Redmsn's store and fled. Next morning 8 party went out on hunt for them, but no clue was found. Their plan and mode of robbery is so similar to those commit ted st Newport that people here think they are the same gang, and live st Newport.
 Oliver Blackburn, who stabbed 8 woman to death at a dance in this county, was, on change venae, yes- ierdsy given .twenty-one years by the Lawrence county circuit court, and is now in the pen.
 The county site fight in this, Jack son county, has waxed hot. The election takes place next Tuesday the 29th. The contest is to move the county site from here to Newport. Both sides ara ssnguine. It will be the first election in this county under the new election law. Booths are already being prepared, and the people expect the election machinery to work smoothly. The speakers who are canvassing the county are Gus Jones and H. L.. Remmel, lawyers st Newport, for removal, aud Re 1resentative Selma bles, of Jacksonport, and Lawyer C.. F. Greenlee, of Brinkley, against removal. Yesterday at Weldon blood ran high. Some parties in the crowd branded Mir. Greenlee a liar. A skirmish ensued. Mir. A. E. Schoffaer struck Greenlee over the head with chair, whereupon Schoffner's son rushed in to help do up Greenlee. Mir. Green lee got in right-hander on the son and sent him whirling backward against a counter. In the meantime Mir. W. L Mcdonald and others in- , terferred and stopped the fight. No one was hurt much. Mr. McDonald' s pants were slightly beslit in his peace making struggle.

SPARKLE IN THIS woMAN's TALK

An Actress InduIges In a whimsical Bit of
 Dentistry to Secure This Result.
 A tall brunette with curly black hair walked into drug store at Sixth avenue and Twenty-seventh street one night last week and asked the proprietor for quire of note paper. This order is filled every day in the week any number of times and never attracts any comment, but the proprietor stood stock still this time and stared at the good-looking woman in astonishment. She had smiled as she made the request, and the smile still played on her lips ss he stared. It disclosed two rows of white teeth. The druggist walked around to his head clerk suddenly.
 "Perhaps there is something the matter with my eyesight," he said. "Just go and see what's the mat ter with that woman's teeth, will you?"
 The head clerk got the writing paper and studied the womsn's g smile @ moment as he handed the paper to her.
 "Humph, that's old," he mutter- ed. "She's got diamond set in her teeth"
 Everybody who sees the customer is similarly surprised every time she talks or smiles. The woman is an actress who was well known iu Cali fornis, and who is now living near Madison Square. She attracts more attention in private than any other actress in town, all on account of the odd bit of dentistry 10 which she submitted. Her friends say that having the diamond set in her teeth was about the queerest whim yet on record. The diamond is half ,srat gem, pure white, and it is set between the two front teeth in the upper jaw. The gem is em- bedded in gold plugging fitted in the back of the teeth so cleverly that the gold cannot be detected. Its presence, of course, attracts attention to the beauty of the actress teeth, and il also imparts to even her most ordinary conversation certain sparkle which, as the druggist re- marked, you couldn't find in the conversation of any other woman in town, however bright witted she might be.
 The actress seems to enjoy the amazement that the oddly. placed jewel arouses. She laughs at the comment of the men and women folks. She is woman of about 30, rather solidly built and dresses al most always in gowns of black silk, draped with lace.-New York Sun.

CRIES OF MURDER

 of Slaughter.

startle the Guests. Who Rush to the Scene of Slaughter. The startling cry of murder" rang out from room on the third floor of Fourteenth street hotel the other evening, and, catching the ears of several chambermaids, created in stant consternation. "Oh, Heav- ensl Let up on me! Don't kill me by inchesl" were the agonized cries that followed each other at short intervals. 1t was the voice of man. Besides the chambermsids, the blood-curd- ling words alarmed all the guests on the floor, and in less time than it takes to tell knot of intensely ex. cited people had collected in the cor ridor, all talking, all gesticulating and all afraid to go near the room whence the cries had come.
 "Who occupies the room?" asked half dozen women in chorus.
 One of the chambermaids recollect- cu having rocu smoH mnu, paic and emaciated in appearance, accom- panied by tall, closely yelled woman, enter in the afternoon.
 The woman was surely killing her male companion. She seemed to be submitting him to some sort of cruel torture, for mufflsd means were distinctly heard now by one or two in the crowd.
 Finally clerk came rushing up from the office. The intelligence of ''the murder" had been carried down in breathless haste. He knocked at the door violently, excitedly.
 "ln the name of the law open the door," he demanded.
 After some little delay the door was opened. A woman smiling, but with look of astonishment, peeped out and asked what was wanted.
 What's going on iu heee2 Who is being hurt?"
 For moment the woman looked embarrassed. Then she broke out into a peal of laughter, which was echoed by the voice of the man with. in.
 "Whst is all this about?" again asked the clerk angrily. a

WALL PAPER WITH A HISTORY.
How Sensitive Western Maid Preserved
 Her Letters.

How e Sensitive Western Maid Preserved Her Letters. A story comes from that vague place, the far West, of an original and thrifty maiden. For many years she hoarded the envelopes of all the letters she received. And when she had accumulated enough for her pur- pose she papered the walls of her bedroom with them. The letters were from all manner ot people and all manner of places. They are ar- rar ged according to dates and &C., cording to general interest. And thus the young lady kept ever before her eyes reminiscences-pleasant or painful, amusing or hsrrowing-of all her dearest friends:
 "This," she said, doing the hon. ors to 8 visitor, announced dear Cousin Maria's death; she left me sl00 ,000. Ia this Bertha asked me to be her bridesmaid; I could have had him myself, of course, if l had chosen. This comes from Uncle Goldleaf, in India. And all these from Ethel the winter she staid in the Sandwich Islands. It's very in- terestipg to have them here and so entertaining to visitors"
 
 The visitor examined them atten- lively through her eye glass.
 "Are any of them love letters, my dear, or don't you keep such thiugs?"
 "Oh, yes; that's the cream of it. That's my dado. l use whole letters there. I did not like to put them too high up, where they couldn't be read, or they'd have made a lovely frieze. 1 considered that matter two days" with sigh. "Those containing pro- posals I have used along the top of the dado. Sort of finish to the love- letter underneath, you understand. Good idea-isn't it?"
 "Yes, see; very neat"
 "Oh-well," complacently, 'of course it took thought. One part of the dado is not quite done, but l ex. pect to get the material this month. Some of these things need little time, you know"
 "They do, indeed" replied the visitor, "I have often noticed that" !. "Oh, yes. And then the furniture troubles me SD. cannot stand things against the letters 1 want to bring out most prominently. Sometimes a new one needs to be put in con- spicuous place. I've moved the dressing table three times to place a letter at the top of the dadol
 Il knew girl who used her love letters to make silk quilt. Cut them in shapes and covered them with silk, you know. Said it kept her warmer than anything else. But my idea is much pretlier. There's one thing you haven't noticed"
 "I can't imagine what it is," look. ing around. "You seem to have covered your ground-and the wall --so well.'
 'I vas obliged to cut of the sig naturesl Around the dado you un- derstand. I found 1t would not do. It seemed hsrdlY-hardly delicate considerate to the feelings Of others, you know. And l wouldn't for anything-you see, eh--rush-bleed- ing hesrts-you understand? You see what ] meauS"

Remarkable Fig Against Death of I
 California Desperado,


 California Desperado.
 Dr. Tslafero, of San Rafael, Cal. {, used to tell wonderful story Of a San Qaeniia conyict--a highway. man in for life. A lot of prisoners under guard were engaged in un- loading 8 schooner at the wharf on San Quentin Point, and were or dered to warp the vessel around to another landing. They went aboard and showed off.
 Up on the bill he other guards mistook The maneuver for an attempt on the part of the conyicts to escape. As a corsC quence they trained their the mi take was discovered bowled over about score of prisoners with grape-shot.
 pr. Tallafero was called to attend the wounded men. This is how he told of his experience with the gritty highwayman:
 "When I came to the fellow pulled his blanket down, looked at his wound, put the blanket back and passed to the next patient, I gave him five minutes more of life. A grape shot had struck him just at the top of the right hip and passed clear through him, shattering both hip bones and tearing him frightfully. By the time had made my rounds I'd forgot all about him.
 "Then nurse stepped up, saying the highwayman wanted to speak to me. 1 wondered that the fellow was still alive and went over to his couch. win you not dress my wound2' he asked. Certainly said I, if you wish it; but you can't live more than five minutes, and dressing the wound will only give you needless pain
 "'Nonsense,' be returned, 'you can't kill me with one grape shot. Eve been shot to death once or twice before. Look at my chest looked. Sure enough, he had bullet wounds enough to have laid out dozen men. Twice, in stopping stages, express messengers had filled him full of bucEsbot. Pm alive yet, and have more lives than cat, he said, as I mace ready to attend him.
 s'I rammed and pulled silk handkerchief through him to clean the wound and fixed him up as best could, knowing he'd be dead in the morning But I didn't know. When 1 called the next day he was very much alive. He was as cheery as bridegroom sitter the ceremony. Never mind me, doctor,' he said with 8 grin; you just fix up the other boys; I'll be all rght in few days
 "Well, sir, expected 10 find him corpse every tine I called, but he hung on, cheered the others with jokes and stories, aud m hangrd i; l didn't begin to think a medical miracle was to bo performed. A man who could live a week and keep his head and spirits with that kind Of hole through him might do most anything.
 "On the seventh day after he was shot he sent for me. As came to his bedside he raised himself on one elbow, looked up at me with the old dare devil expression on his face and said:
 "'It's no go, doctor; I can't keep it up any longer. Goodbye, old fellowl'
