AFTER THE ROBBERS.

BENToNvIILE, November 23.--The
Oliphant train robbers were seen at
their homes last night.
A posse of thirty men, under the
supervision of G. A. Thiel, chief of The
detective agency, left Ssssfor Sloan
Springs, the home of the robbers, to-
night with bloodhounds. A special
train will arrive at midnight with
more marshals, and the early capture
of the robbers is expected
1t will be remembered that a state.
ment was recently published from Hi
co to the effect that il was believed tho
train robbers were men who had liv-
ed near that place nearly all their
lives. Since then two Of the captured
men, Lemons and Arnett, have been
identified by citizens of Benton Coun-
ty as Brandy and Padgett, two of The
men mentioned in that communication
and the same parties stated that they
believed others, whose names were
given, were also connected with the
crime. The robbers have been going
in that direction ever since the rob-
berry was committed aud only a few
days ago were reported iu the neigh
borhood of Winsolw in the Boston
Mountains.

ARKANSAS APPLES.

Freight Agent McNair, of Fayette'
vile, Ark, has furnished the following
statistics on the shipment of apples
from Washington county, this State
during the present season;
Fayetteville, POI cars; Sprlngdale, 7f
cars; West Fork and Brentwood, 81
cars; st. Paul Branch, 20 cars; total ,376
cars, The figures of Fayetteville and
Sprngdale are official and are abso-
lutely correct, while the other are es-
timated. One hundred and sixty bar
rels to the Cur is low estimate, which
would make 52,320 barrels OF 159,96C
bushels. The apples brought from
so cents to 81 per bushel, the bulk Of
them selling rt rs and 85 cents. TAX
ing rs cents as the average price, the
cash receipts from this source foot up
$117,720. This is apretty good show.
ing for hard times and an off year.
The above showing is sufficiently
tempting to induce fully 100 per cent
increase in the apple growing indus

THE DENIsoN HORROR.

Dick Edwards, the man who has
laid in jail at Denison, Texas, during
the past year, charged with the mur-
der of Mrs. Haynes and suspected of
the additional triple murder Of Tiny
Hswley and two women of the town
at Denison, was arraigned for trial
yesterday in the criminal court at
Sherman, Tex.
Seated by the prisoners side was
his wife, who has cluug to him with
the greatest fidelity through all, and
in the face of the terrible accusations
brought against him. Edwards, alias
Leroy, was seated by his counsel,
calmly reading some papers handed
him on his entrance to the court
room, when the Judge asked: "What
says the state in the case of the State
of Texas VS.. William Leroy, charged
with tho murder of Mrs. Hattie
Haynesp
Edwards, it is claimed by the state,
is the man indicted under the name
of Leroy. The state announced
ready and so did the defendant The
special venire was called and the great
mystery surrounding the tragedy Of
May H. 1892, was about TO be fully
investigated by court empowered TO
assess the greatest penalty or unlock
the letters and set the prisoner free.
Owing to the fact that he asserts the
right only to the name of Dick Ed
wards ho has taken advantage Of the
the right given to him by the statute
to be tried under that name, and the
case as it is now in progress is enu-
tied state of Texas VS.. Dick Edwards.
The empanelment of the jury pro-
gressed very slowly The killing Of
Mrs Haynes created widespread in
terest and a generally close inquiry on
the part of all. The special venire
was exhausted with only eight jurors
qualifying themselves. IT being near
the hour for taking the afternoon re-
cess the court announced a night ses-
sion and on notification the sheriff
had twenty good men before the court
at regular evening opening hour.

Link Waggoner Caught.

Link Waggoner, the notorious des-
perado who has been evading the
Louisiana officers since the shooting
of man by the name of Holland in
Webster parish, that state, year ago,
was recently located on the Angelina
river in q sparsely settled portion of
Nacodoches county, Texas. With a
posse of six men the sheriff surround
ed the house of old man Waggoner,
where Link was in hiding, and get
ting the drop on him compelled him
to surrender. The prisoner was taken
to Shreveport, La, and temporarily
lodged in jail at that place until yes
terday, when he was conveyed to the
scene of his crime to be lodged in the
Webster parish prison, where will re-
main until tried.
About two years ago Link and his
brother were arrested, charged with O
murder committed in Claiborne par
ish. They were captured in the
Ozark mountains of Arkansas. Links
brother was tried and sentenced to
Life imprisonment in the penitentiary
and was afIerward accidentally killed
in prison Pending Links trial mol

him. By some means he secured 0
revolver, with which he successfully
stood off the attacking party, after
having severely wounded several oi
them. lie afterward secured o change
of venue to Lincoln parish and was
acquitted.

THEY DIE HARD.

After one of the most desperate leg
islative battles ever waged in any sim
gle state of the union, the State gov
ernment of Louisiana succeeded in
stamping out of existence the lniqui-
tous gambling device, known as the
Louisiana lottery, not, however, until
the fight, begun in the legislature, had
been fought out on every conceivable
pretext in the courts of the country,
both state and national. At last vic
tory crowned the efforts of Louiaia-
mas law loving citizens and the Louis
lana lottery ceased it's legal or illegal
existence.
This was thought to have ended the
matter, but such was not the case; an
other and far worse organization
sprung, Phenix-like, from the ashes
of the former, under the cognomen of
Louisiana Loan Company" What the
fate of this latter scheme will be is
best told in the following dispatch:
New ORLEANS, November 22.-The
State of Louisiana, through her At
torney-General, has instituted suit
against L. A. Gourdain and Others, do
ing business under the name of j. X.
Morgan and the Louisiana Loan Com
pany, carrying on fraudulent lot
terry here, pretending to be the sue
cessor of the Louisiana State Lottery
Company, and selling tickets in differ
ent sections based upon the drawings
of the Louisiana State Lottery Com
pany, and obtained writs ofinjunction
against defendants prohibiting them
from publishing, selling or sending
such such tickets either i'll or out of
the State These defendants are now
under indictment in the Criminal Dis
trict Court, and the action of the At
torney-General will successfully abate
the nuisance that they have been car
rying on here for some time, to the
great injury of ignorant and unsus-
pecting persons.

KINDER TIcKLIsH.' ,.

On the evening before last, as Rev.
Joseph Jamison was engaged in read
ing the opening chapter at prayer
meeting services, in the State Line
Methodist church, he was accosted
by a stranger who had entered the
church and, without hesitation, adj
vanced to the pulpit railing. On in
quirY of his visitor what was wanted
the stranger beckoned Mr.. Jamison
to approach, as he desired to confer
with him. This the reverend gentle.
man declined, but invited the man to
approach the pulpit and speak with
him there. Then began a aregular pan
tomine between the two; the stranger
would beckon to the minister, who
would return the silent summons TO
approach. The unusual scene finally
ended in the stranger approaching the
pulpit, followed by hurried confer
ence, which was conducted in whis-
per.
1t was easy to see that the minister
was only too anxious to end the Sc
cret conference, and when, after re-
peated mods of assent from the minis
ter his strange interlooutor finally
took hurried departurs, the express
sion of relief which appeared upon tho
pastors countenance was in striking
contrast TO the deeply troubled look ii
had worn all during the interview.
When the anxious flock had surround
ed their beloved sheppard and suffi-
GENTLY congratulated him ON his hap
py escape from danger at the hands Of
what they took for desperate crank,
the truth all came out and it WIS
found that the stranger was none 9TH
er than travelling athlete, who, hav-
ing arranged tor sparring and
wrestling match at this place, had
neglected procuring license until the
very last hour, and, in search for City
Collector "Billy" Dean, mad been di-
rected to the Methodist church, where
some one had told him Mr.. Dean took
prominent part in the exercises. On
entering the sacred edifce his eye had
lighted upon tho pastor and mistsking
him for the elder, he sought an inter-
view, hoping to obtain the
obtain the collectors consent to pro-
ceed with the match, by agreeing to
take out license on the day following,
and it was to each of these proposi-
tions that Mr.. Jamison agreed 80
readily. Not much was said about
the incident on the day following, but
the joke was "too good to keep" and
so the affair leaked out, and now ey-
eryone is asking, "What about that

RES ADJUDICATA.

Since the announcement was made
that the government of Nicaragua
would BRING suit against the Maritime
Canal Company, the question has been
widely discussed as to whether for
eign government would have the
right to sue corporation or an indi-
vidual in the courts OF the United
States. There is no question about
this. In 1870 Justice Bradley of the
United States Supreme court emphat-
ically stated that foreign governments
could sue. This was in the case Of Ma
poleon III against the SAPPHIRE, a ves-
sel which damaged French vessel in
San Francisco harbor' At the time
the case reached tho Supreme court
Napoleon had bced overIhrown. The
ouestion was also raised that the suit

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 fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
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 from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every

A Fatal Accident.

The last one of the men who were
caught in the collision at Eagle Mills,
Ark, a day or two since has died
from his injuries. One was killed al
most instantly, another died short
time after his removal so his home,
the third died about three hours af-
terward, while the fourth fingered
through the night in awful agony, dy-
ing just before day on the following
morning. This is one Of tho most
horrible accidents that ever occurred
in our state. Four healthy, able-bod-
led men, engaged in the pursuit Of
their daily broad, all unconscious Of
danger, suddenly swooped down upon
by deeth in its most horrible form.
Crushed, mangled and torn they
were, and all because Of the careless
ness or laziness Of human being.

HAWAIIAN NEWS.
The Queen Believed to Have Been
Restored to the Throne.

The queen Believed TO nave Been
Restored to the ThroEs.
As announced in the Associated
Press dispatches yesterday, the officers
of the State department at Washing
ton fully believe that the ex-queen has
by this time been restored to the
throne.
While they do not ix any precise
time as to when the restoration took
place, they believe that force was not
necessary. 1t seems, however, that
while actual force may not have been
authorized, there was to be such a
show of force as would make the Pro-
visional Government believe that the
United States would use all the power
at its command to bring about the
restoration. The statement was also
made that if Mr.. Dole refused to Nc-
cede to the demands of Minister VIII
lis. he would be thrust aside and the
queen restored, even if the admins
tration would have to go to Congress
for authority. AT the same time it
was claimed that there would be no
necessity for any such action, as the
information from the islands was to
the effect that everything was work
ing as expected. One reason for the
belief in some quarters that the res
toration had taken place yesterday
and would take place about this time,
was because of the assertion often
made that unless the restoration took
place before the arrival of the first
steamer from the United States since
the attitude of the administration had
been made public that it would not be
made public at all because the senti-
ment of the United States and the re-
port of Minister Thurston to the Pro-
visional Government would have q
tendency to sustain them and cause
them to resist Minister Willis efforts
at restoration.
This phase of the case was suggest
ed to the State department today and
a reply received that it made no diff
ference whether Mr.. Thurston had
been able to communicate with the
Provisional Government or not, or
whether that Government would offer
any resistance the restoration would
60 on just the same.
1t was claimed that not only the in
formation furnished by Mr.. Blount
by the reports received since Minister
Willis arrived at Honolulu was to the
effect that the Provisional Govern
ment was sustained on the supposi-
ton that the United States Man-of-
War was in the harbor for that pur-
pose, and that as soon as it was known
that the United States would not sus-
tain the Provisional Government, but
was determined to undo what had
been done by the revolutionists, that
the public would Immediately compel
the restoration Of the queen, and the
Provisional Government would fall
and its members would hasten to take
advantage of the amnesty which Min
lister Willis would insist that the queen
should grant upon being restored to
power.

Cures Others

Will cure You, is true statement of the
action of AYERS Sarsaparilla, when
taken for diseases originating in impure
blood; but, while this assertion is true Of
AYERS Sarsaparila, as thousands can
attest, it cannot be truthfully applied to
other preparations. which unprncipled
dealers will recommend, and try to I'M
pose upon you, as 'just as good as
Ayers" Take Ayers Sarsaparilla and
Ayers only, if you need a blood-purifer
and would be benefited permanently.
This medicine, for nearly fifty years,
has enjoyed a reputation, and made a
record for cures, that has never been
equaled by other preparations. AYERS
Sarsaparilla eradicates the taint of he
reditary scrofula and other blood dis
eases from the system, and it has, deser-
yedly, the confidence OF the people.

1t is fifteen years since married the frat
couple. but / remember every incident con-
nected with the ceremony as plainly as
though it occurred yesterday. The cere-
mony was performed at Dixon, Solano
County, and | was probably more nervous
than the young couple joined in the bonds

Only too well l recolect that I was
preaching In little church at Dixon one
Sunday evening. when ] was interrupted
and asked to marry couple who were in a
great hurry to be united. There were two
elder ministers In the church and they vol
unteered to finish the service where | left
of. So excused myself to the congrega-
ton and adjourned TO private residence
near by, where arrangements had been made
for the wedding. With a few varia-
lions / said the service Of discipline
and shortened the service as much as pos
sible, as the couple had requested me to do
go. Oh, how nervous and embarrassed |
wasl It's wonder l struggled through the
ordeal as well as / aid. l was then about

for that.
Well. l got through the ceremony all
right. and did not forget to offer congratula-
lions aud good wishes to the happy couple.
NO, was not married then, but | was won

the service and the binding character of the

happy frame OF mind.
