Patti Rosa.

Patti Rosa's new play, "Miss Dixie"
has caught popular favor and is serv-
ing to keep the popular little come
dienne intrenched III the good graces
of the theatre-going public. A critic
who sat in judgment on the first
performance of this comedy said:
"Each member of the audience felt as
if he or she were a juror to sit i'll judg-
ment on the piece, as 1t was its initial
performance. The play had been
carefully rehearsed and went along
smoothly but tamely for the first half
hour. After that the actors seemed
to warm up, and before the second
act was half over the continuous ap-
plause and laughter showed that
"Miss Dixie" had caught on and was
success. At the end of the second
act Patti Rosa was called before the
curtain. Patti Rosa appears to i'm
prove from year to year. She is a
progressive little creature, and is now
a sort of combination of Lotta and
Nellie McHenry."
This excellent company will appear
at the Opera house tonight.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of FIGS.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
ative; efectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and feyers
and permanently curing constipation
1t has given satisfaction to millions ard
met with the approval Of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free Grom
every Objectionable substance
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is maI-
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every

TERRIBLE PUNISHMENT
Melted out to a Negro Murderer by His
Own Race and Color.

WARNER, ARK, November IA
scene which rivaled in horror those
of the burning at the stake of Ed Coy,
the Texarkana negro rapist, and Hen
ry Miller, the Paris, Tex, rapist'
was enacted at Warner, the capital
city of Lincoln County, situated on
the Valley Railroad last night.
In this instance it was negro also,
but the CRIME for which the awful
punishment was inflicted was of a
different character, and the mob
meted out the punishment instead of
being composed of whites, as the
Texarkana and Paris mobs were, was
made up of blacks.
AT II O'Clock last night d. t. Mel
son, colored, confined in the Lincoln
County Jail, was taken from the
structure by masked mob. Over a
score of shots were fired at the unfor-
tunate wretch at close range and a
dozen bullets entered his body. Be-
fore life was extinct the mob threw
their victim on small brush pile and
set fire to it.
1t was raining at the time and the
fire was extinguished before it had
gotten under great headway, but not,
however, until the clothing had been
burned from the body and the flesh
parched.
Two freight trains were standing
on the railroad track when Nelson
was taken from the Jail and killed last
night The Jail is only about fifty
yards from the depot, and the train
crew heard all that took place.
The crime for which Nelson was SO
terribly punished is related as follows
On Tuesday, November Ben Belts
went to the residence of one Dave
Nelson it is supposed for the purpose
of assisting q kinsman to collects rent
bill Nelson and Belts got into trou-
BILE and words were parsed, Belts tell
ing Nelson to come out that he, Belts,
had his burying clothes on, Nelson
came out of his house with hatchet
and his baby in his arms.
Only a few words passed before
Nelson struck Belts with his hatchet
aud continued to strike until he had
literally hacked to pieces the body of
his victim,

The Musical BARRIERS.

The Alveraz Family, known Europe
over as the Musical BARRIERS of Seville,
have been engaged by the Al. G. Field
Columbian Minstrels for the season OF
1894. The performances of these
people are said to be entirely different
from anything in the musical line ey-
err seen by the American public The
stage is set to represent The interior
of a handsomely furnished barber
shop. Solos, concert musical Selec-
tions, including classical and popular
airs, are played upon the razors, shay
ing cups, bowls, etc.
The barber chairs are so construct
ed that the music produced from them
is similar to that of a large church
pipe organ. Tempting offers have
been made these people by numerous
American managers heretofore, but

PATTI RosA's "MIss DIXIE. y

The appearance of Patti Rosa at
Ghio'S Opera House on this
evening, will afford to Texarkana
theatre-goers one of the most de-
lighttul events of the dramatic season.
She will appear here in an entirely
new and rewritten version of "Aliss
Dixie" her favorite and, perhaps,
most amusing character, of her mimi
table presentation of which, an ex-
change speaks in the following terms:
"What a rollicking bubble Of conta-
gious fun Patti Rosa is! She is change
full as an April day and keeps Ham
lins audiences either in tears or shouts
for two hours that seem all too short.
She has such bright, expressive face,
happy laugh and so many fascinating
little tricks of head and foot, that
every word, kick, sod or shrek is la
den with magnetic originality. Her
company is capital and works with
hearty vim and sympathy that makes
the show really splendid.
"Joe Cawthorn, as Max Weisner, is
fine, and his ACCORDION specially is
equal to Dutch Days. John d. Gilbert

and Maurice Darcy, good looking
young fellow, sings and acts excep-
tionally well lie makes great hit

sHERMAN's LETTER.

The Ohio Senator and thrice dis
appointed candidate for the Republi-
can presidential nomination, John
Sherman, has again INDUCED his pen
chant for epistolary prophesy by in
diting, to certain tobacco Trade
journal the following open letter. on
the present and prospective tariff
question.
MANSFIELD, 0. November 6, 1898.
Editor Tobacco-Leaf:
In response to your.etter OF the 4th,
I have to advise you that have no
means of information as to the action
of the Ways and Means committee OF
the House in the interest of tobacco,
II is rumored that the purpose is to H.
crease the internal taxes on spirits, to-
bacco pnd beer, in order to supply the
deficiency resulting from the reduc-
ton of tariff duties. | can only say
that am very decidedly opposed to
any increase of any internal revenue
taxes, but prefer to leave them pre-
cisely as they are.
AS to the duties on imported goods,
it is expected that the Democratic
majority will, according to their plat
form, reduce them to what they call a
revenue basis and perhaps restore the
duties on other, articles to make up the
required revenue. Very truly, yours,
JOHN SHERMAN.

Kentucky Sensation Exploded.

The so-called tragedy, about which
the northern papers have raised SO
much cain in the past few days. has
been thoroughly exploded and the
family of the negro rapist, Evans, who
were reported as having been blown
into atoms and their remains scattered
over several sections Of Kentucky
soil, have all turned up in their own
proper persons. This reduces the
bug-a-boo to the simple blowing up
of an empty cabin, near BardstOwn
Ky, which the negroes had formerly
inhabited, and now the fact is conclu-
sively proven that the deed was COM
mitted by negroes, themselves, who as
friends of Evanes, hoped to arouse
public feeling in his behalf. The
white people of the community are
thoroughly aroused and any outbreak
on the part of the negroes will result
disastrously for them.

UNCLE SANS GOLD.
a Plan by Which The Government
Gold Reserve May Be Increased.

The announcement comes from
Washington that plan has just been
perfected whereby the gold reserve of
the national treasury may beincreased
TO its legal limit of $1OO,O0O,OOU This
is to be effected by means of undcr-
standing with the banks of New York
whereby they are to increase the pro-
portion of gold in their deposits with
the New York Sub-Treasury to cover
the certified checks that are presented
by importers in payment of custom
duties. 1t is the system now in vogue
for the banks to keep special deposits
at the Sub-Treasury for this use, and
heretofore the gold has not averaged
more than 1 per cent. The bulk of
payments are made in Treasury notes.
AS the deficit in the gold reserve is
now only $15,OO0,0OO, and the assoc
lated banks of New York have on
hand fully $90,OOOOO0, it is thought
that this scheme, which is result of
the recent visit of the Secretary to
New York, will be carried through.
None of the officials of the Treas
ury Department are willing to dis
cuss the reports that the gold reserve
is to be strengthened by the assistance
of the New York banks, which, it is
said, will release their gold to make
payments for custom dues. This re-
ticence to talking applied also to
Secretary Carlisle, who, when shown
the published statements on the sub
ject said he had nothing to make pub
lie but intimated that if the New
York bankers saw fit to discuss the
matter it was their privilege to do so.
Such an arrangement, the officials say,
could be entered into by Mr.. Jordan,
the Assistant Treasurer at New York,
who would not necessarily feel it OBJ
llgatory on himself to communicate
the fact to the Treasury Department.
There are reasons for believing that it
is very probable that Mr.. Jordan has
entered into some such an arrange
ment as that mentioned by which the
gold reserve is to be increased and
kept, if possible, up to a higher figure
than that at which il has stood for
some time past. There was a de-
crease in the reserve today of over a
million dollars, as compared with Sat
urday. The currency balance, how
ever, is almost $1,500,00O higher, con-
sequently the net available balance is
greater than it was Saturday and has
again overstepped the $10O,0OO,0OO
mark. The movement Of standard
silver dollars for the week ended Sat
urday was $691,515, and for the cor
responding period of last year $780,
$50. The shipments of fractional sill
yer coin from November to the 18th
