Pears
Soap

Beauty IS but skim
deep" was probably
meant to disparage beau
ty. Instead it tells how
easy that beauty is to
attain.
There is no beauty
like the beauty of health
was also meant TO dispar-
age. Instead it encour-
ages beauty.
Pears Soap is the
means Of health to the
skin, and so to both these
sorts of beauty.
All sorts Of stores sell
it, especially druggists:
all sorts OF people use it.

HARRISON IS A CANDIDATE.
Authoritatively Announced and Koaste
 by Republican Senator.

Authoritatively Announced and Roasted
 by Republican Senator.
 Stephen B. Elkins, secretary of war, announced Tuesday in a letter to personal friend in New York that President Harrison Is a candi- date for re-nomination. The secre- tary added that the president would, moreover, be the choice of the Min neapolis convention, and further more would be reelected.
 This is the first authentic an nouncement that the president is q candidate for re-nomination, al- though everybody was convinced of it. That the secretary had sent such a letter was known at the Fifth Avenue Hotel tonight. There were various comments, devoted particu- larly to the prophetic decision of the letter.
 There happened to be Repub- lican United States senator at the hotel just as the discussion over the secretary's letter was at an interest ing height. He discussed the an nouncement at some length, but asked that his name be not men, toned. Said he: "As soon as the presidents name is presented to the Minneapolis convention half dozen of the most brilliant orators in the Republican party west of the Alle- gheny Mountains, will take turns in his nomination. They will assure the convention that the president cannot be reelected. With the West and the South arrayed against the president 1 cannot see why Mr. Elkins has undertaken the contract with which he seems to have burdened himself" l"

A Modern Type.

The newspaper devotee is pro- duct of modern civilization and his traits deserve mention in detail.
 He Is an epicure in sensations. If his particular newspaper chances to fall into someone else's hands before it reaches him the first fine and dele cate pleasure of his day is lost; and if the interloper is hardy enough to read striking paragraph aloud, wrath fills the soul of the devotee and the rites of that day are hope lessly maimed.
 Sundays are his great days. He rises early, and woe to the newsboy who Is not prompt.
 He begins the long and happy day with a supply of literature which would have sufficed his an- eestors not very far removed for a month, and jn the evening he lays down the last sheet with weary but eontented sigh, conscious that he has sighted nothing, not even the most obscure advertisement.
 He faces the future with calm con fdence, for he feels that the supply of newspapers is inexhaustible and that however long he may live, his days shall not want a pleasure which custom cannot stale.-Detroit Free Press.

Capfured at Last.

TExARKANA, ARK, Feb. 18.- Ed. Coy, the negro who assaulted Mrs. Jewell on February 4, has, after long and tedious chase, been captured. The posse who followed reached Red river six hours behind him, and being unable to cross their horses o5er the stream, only four men continued the pursuit, the rest coming back to Texarkana with the horses. The four crossed in canoes and continued the pursuit. The news spread like wildfre. and the citizens, white and black, turned out to assist in the capture. He was finally traced to his father-in-law's, near Rich mond, in Little River county, Ark. The house was surrounded and some of the party entered, but found he had eluded them, whereupon they seized the old man and with threats forced him to tell his whereabouts. He told them, on learning of their presence, he carried him to ditch in the rear of the house and secreted him. He carried the posse to the place, but the bird had flown. They gave immediate chase, running him into canebrake and surrounding him the second time, when he surrendered. He was brought in on the Texarkana and Fort Smith railway.

A Prisoner Shot While Attempting fo Es-
 cape.
 PARIS, Feb. l9.--Quite q sensa- ton was created on our streets yes terday evening by the attempted es- cape of prisoner by the name of Woldridge, who is confined in the county jail About sundown as the jailor, Mir. Dandridge, went to see after the prisoners, one of them had burned hole through the cell floor in which he was confined, thereby effecting an entrance into the main outer room of the prison. As Mr. Dandridge unlocked the door and stepped in the prisoner ali of a sud den darted by him and was out in an instant. Mr. Dandridge fired two intellectual shots at him. He was making good his escape, till Mir. J. A. Ingle, who, having discovered the affair, secured pis- tol, and, after repeated commands to stop, fired at the fugitive, in- ficting a dangerous if not fatal wound, the shot entering the back just below the kidneys. The doe tors as yet are unable to ascertain the possibilities of the wound.

Uncomfortable Wedding Ring.

The Bayanzi, who live along the Upper Congo, have a strange custom which makes life a burden to the married women. Brass rods are welded into great rings around the necks of the wives. Many of these rings worn by the women, whose husbands are well to do, weigh as much as thirty pounds, and this burden must be carried by the poor creatures as long as they live. Ere quently one sees a poor woman whose neck is galled by the heavy weight, and in places the skin is rubbed off by the ring. This is a sure sign that the ring has been re- gently welded around the neck. After a short time the skin becomes calloused and then the strange crna- ment produces no abrasion. The weight IS perpetual tax upon the energies. In every crowd of women may be seen a number who are sup porting the ring with their hands, and thus for time are relieving their weary shoulders of the burden. A ring is never put around a woman neck until she is believed to have attained her full physical development. Once on it is no easy matter to get 1t off The natives have no files, and, although they can hammer lot of brass rods into one it is very difficult for them to cut the thick mass of metal. Women who increase largely in flesh after the rings have been fastened on their necks are in danger of strangling to death, and instances of this sort have occurred. The women, however, regard the curious ornament with pride, imag- inc 1t enhances their importance and beauty and wear their burdens with light hearts. Brass is the money of the country and in putting it around their wives necks the men are cer- tain that it will not be stolen or foolishly expended.-Boston Courier.

 A sad accident happened at the ranch of the Southern Land and Lumber Company, near Fordyce, Saturday. A teamster was loading logs on a log wagon, and young man named Charley Bolin, whose home is in Wisconsin, was standing on the opposite side apparently out of danger. A log twenty feet long and sixteen inches in diameter was hitched to with the chain and rolled upon the wagon. The team was un- ruly and carried the log over the wagon, where it knocked Bolin down and fell across him just above the hip and buried his body almost its thickness in the ground. He fingered until Monday morning, when he died.
