"sLEuTH HOUND"

Gen., John w. Noble, secretary Of
the interior, remarked to Graphic
representative yesterday that he had
found many abuses practiced in con-
nection with government affairs on
the Hot Springs reservation. the
most fragrant OF these was the action
OF the free bath house manager in
charging fifteen cents per bath in q
bathing establishment built by the
government and intended to be for
the free use of the public. Gen. No.
BILE has earned the title
of ''sleuth hound,' as he
proves himself veritable
terror to evil.doers under jurisdiction
of his department. The attempts Of
disappointed newspapers to depict
him as an autocrat, too good to lend
an ear or give his voice to inquisitive
reporters, are futile. He is one Of
the easiest and most approachable Of
public men, but Of course he knows
how to squelch impertinence, yet be-
ing human he submits gracefully to
the fine art of interviewing when it
goes to him Invested OF unconth en-
vironments. He knows the power
OF the press and respects it.--Hot

tinued to be practiced on military of.

The form most frequently resorted to
was that known as the wooden horse, to
ride which was the punishment accorded
for petty thefts. characterization, and SO
on. The wooden horse was made OF
planks nailed together SO as to form a
sharp ridge or angle about eight or nine
feet long. This ridge represented the
back of the horse, and was supported by
four posts or legs about five feet high,
placed on stand made movable by
truckles. To complete the resemblance
with the noblest animal in creation q
head and tail were added.
When soldier was sentenced, either
by court martial or by his commanding
officer, to ride the horse, he was placed
ON the brute's back, with his hands tied
behind him, and frequently enough, in
order to increase the pain, muskets were
fastened to his legs 70 weigh them down

work to Do At Home.

Women of slender or reduced income

do home work Of some kind might Sc
cure remunerative occupation by en-
broidering spangled flowers upon gauze
and silk. This kind of material is in
great demand, and, being novelty, Is
expensive hisquestion of home work
is very pulling one, and often leads
to much disappointment for those who
cannot get employment because they
have no real technical knowledge
in any branch. Newspapers have daily

women who think that the field of lit
erature is golden one and that any
body capable of holding pen and Of
spelling correctly can make money in
that way.
Now this is great mistake; and,
moreover, it is not so much the way OF
treating subject as the subject chosen
that is of Importance, and many well

treats of matter Of small interest to the

perfect hurricane at laughter, which

Mr.. Toole began his address he provoked
another burst of visibility by alluding to
the jury as .'that worthy body of stead

on Thursday, having leaked out, Col.
Conger, OF Akron, O., member OF
the National Republican Committee,
and who made the most significant
utterances of the meeting, decided
it best to make public the
facts of the meeting, although it had
been the discretion OF the partici.

Col. Conger said frankly the pur-
pose was to organize the Republican
friends of Mr.. Blaine in Ohio, In
diana, Illinois, Kentucky, Wiscon-
sin, Michigan and Kansas in sup
pert OF his nomination for the presi-
dency. He believed that the recent
political event indicated that
this was q party

this fact that brought together the

A Persevering Hen.

/ have seen one or two good hen sto-

One day it happened that not far from
my house board was resting on two
barrels which were about ten feet apart,
end somebody had laid an old, discard
ed straw hat on the board, the crown
lying on the board. An old hen, which
was a great pet with the family, saw
this arrangement and evidently decided
that the old hat was just the thing for
a nest So she carefully hoped into
It and laid an egg.
We decided to humor her within, and
therefore fastened the hat to the board.
She continued to lay in this queer nest
for some time. But one day the hat
became unfastened In some way and
blew off the board. When Biddy saw
this she began to sing disconsolately.
and we thought she would give up the
hat and seek another nest. But we
were mistaken. In little while she
seized the hat in her bill and flew with
1t on the board, where, after a great
deal Of fussing, she adjusted it so that
she could lay in it. After that we fast
ened it so that it could not blow of -

WEBB ABDUCTION CASE
The Jury Returns Verdict OF Six Years
imprisonment and Fine of ss0o.
The Man Charged with Running annie
Boggs, Receives Severe Pnnish
ment for His Crime.

The case OF the state against w
II. Webb, charged with abduction,
which held the attention of the cir
cult court Friday and Saturday Of
last week, cams to an end at 1880
O'Clock Saturday night, the grand
jury returning verdict of six years
imprisonment in the county Jail and
q fine Of $500.
Webb was charged with abductiDg
Annie Boggs, the pretty little
IA -year-old daughter OF Mr..
John Boggs, living in the west end
Of the city. The crime occurred two
years ago.
II appears that Webb had been .
caller for sometime at the Boggs
house and had pressed his suit until
the girl promised to marry him. He
took the girl to house in Argenta
under promise of marriage. On
the second night Of their stay in the
city on tho north side Webb accom-
plished his design. He remained
with the girl two or three nights,
when he departed for Lonoke, leaving
The ruined child to get home the
best way she could. The girl re-
turned home and told her pitiablc
tale TO her parents, who at once
swore out a warrant for the arrest
OF the man who had brought dis
grace upon them. Webb was ar
rested in the course Of week and
released on bond OF $1,000.
He forfeited his bond and nothing
was heard OF him until about one
month ago when it was learned
that be was in Texas. He was ar
rested at once and returned to
Little Rock. The verdict Of the jury
is met with approval on all sides.
Judge Frank T. Vaughan repre-
sented the defendant, and made .
strong defense, but failed to impress
the jury that Webb was Innocent Of
