Decidedly Qnick Work.

On returning home from his mil,
last evening, Mr.. Buff Kizer made a
hasty change of clothing. preparatory
to going out, but was called in to sup
per before removing his watch, purse
and other valuables from the recently
worn garments, On returning to his
room from SUPPER he discovered that
some enterprislng thief had been be-
forehand with him, relieving him Of
any such necessity as watch, chain and
purse were all gone together with
coat and vest, the pilferer having made
clean sweep. Mr.. Kizer at once re-
ported the matter to city marshal
Stanley Edwards and the two together
started out on "still hunt" for the
light fingered individual. The game

took the animal in hand and soon Sc

NOT IDENTIFIED.

Fort Smith, Dec. 27.-Yesterday
morning when Patty Keating's saloon
opened an old man entered and lay
dowu on the floor behind the stove.
He was not disturbed, but in few
hours it was discovered that he was
deathly sick. While arranging for his
removal to the hospital he died. A
coroner's jury decided that he died
from exposure, lack of food and old
age,
They were unable to learn his name
or where he had come from, except
that he had told someone that his
name was "Mike" and that he was re-

SENSATIONAL ARREST.

A decided sensation was sprung in
the Pacific Express office in this city
last evening, when Assistant Cashier
G F Davis was placed under arrest by
the company, on a charge of embezzlo-
ment.
The details of the affair are as fol-
lows. Mr.. Davis, who has held a
trusted position in the office at this
place, acting cashier in the absence of
the regular official, on Dec. Goth re-
ceived and receipted for package
containing $500 from the National
Oil Co., at this place, to be sent to the
agent of that company at Ashdown,
Ark.
Failing to receive the expected
package, the agent at Ashdown
wrote to the Oil Company, making
inquiry about uame. The matter was
at once laid before the express COM
pany, and every possible effort made
to locate same. But no trace of the
money could ever be found after it
entered Davis hands at the Express
office here. The officials of the COM
pany then entered into systematic
investigation, extending into the pri-
vate life and habits of the young
man, whose connection with the affair
appeared to them suspicious, to say
the least, with the result, as above
stated, that Davis was given in charge
to the officers of this county accused
OF making way with the money,
The case is now up for preliminary
trial before Justice Hamilton, with S.
S. Sohnsky appearing for the prosecu-
ton and w. II. Hrnold for the de-
fense.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
Ier 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 a perfect lax
ative; effectually 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
Go. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being well informed, you will not

ADMITTED TO BAIL
d. g. Allis, the Ex-Banker Of Little
Rock Released From Custody.

eAO Ia 41d0ACI Allll0
Rock Released From Custody.
In Little Rock, on yesterday, the
attorneys for Horace G. Allis,recently
convicted in the Fedearl court at that
place, for misapprOpriation of bank
ing funds and violation of the United
States banking laws, filed prayer for
writ of error and assignment of er-
rors, in their clients cause.
A writ of error and citation were
signed and allowed by Judge Caldwell.
The defendant then gave bond for
$4,000 with Geo. W. Atkins, Geo. B.
Allis and Lee Andrews, of Pine Bluff
as sureties, which was approved by
Judge Caldwell, and Horace G. Allis
YVES released from custody.
The assignment of errors sets
forth:
l. The irrelevancy and incompet-
ency of testimony of expert w. j.
Hayes as to how Alhs' account stood
in the matter of oyer-drafts to the
bank from February l, 1892, to Dec,
10, 1892
2. The relevancy and competency
Of YOst to testify in answer to cross
question of the defence as to q change
in the September report of 100000
from bills and notes rediscounted to
individual deposits subject to check
being identical with the change In the
December report.
8. Irrelevancy and incompetency
of the evidence of the telegram of
February %, sent by Allis to Denny
from New York and admitted by the
Court.
4. The error of the Court in re-
charging the jury, giving undue prom
inence TO the evidence of Denny.
5. Error of the Court in overrul-
ing motion of defendant for a new
trial on the grounds among Others
that the verdict was contrary to the
law and the evidence.
The bill of exceptions will be for
warded to Judge Sanborn, the trial
Judge, to be by him signed and re-
turned, when with the other papers
it is to be lodged in the Supreme
Court of the United States within
thirty days.

AN INCOME TAX.
To be Finally Decided and Settled
When the Committee Meets Again.

To be Finally Decided and Settled
When the Committee Meets Again.
The latest telgraphic news from
Washington d. c., all goes to confirm
the common belief that when ma
jority of the members of the Ways
and Means Committee, of the House,
come together again final decision
will be reached as to what kind of an
income tax will be agreed upon.
Probably other matters pending be-
fore the committee, and largely de-
pendent upon the proposition, will sl-
so be agreed upon or at least be pre-
pared for adjustment.
The committee will have TO decide
upon two reports submitted by the
subcommittee on internal revenue,
one by Messrs. Mcmillan and Bryan
in favor of a tax on all incomes, in
Guiding individual, and the other by
Mr.. Montgomery, favor of a tax on
corporate investment. Until this is
decided there will be nothing done
about the rate Of taxation, although it
is proposed by Mr., Mcmillan that the
BRYAN plan to make it 2 per cent, and
upon incomes of $4,000 year and up
wards, yielding on estimated revenue
of $30,OOO000. There is yet some
disagreement over the rate of tax to
be levied on inheritances, but the
differences are not such as cannot he
easily adjusted. The inheritance tax
will be extended only to personal
property, as it has been found imprac-
ticable to have real estate included.
A revenue of $10,000000 it is estimat-
ed can be derived from this source.
A tax of $3.50 per thousand on cigar
cites and SIX cents yer pack on play
ing cards it is thought will yield SIS,
100000, in all $45,0OO,O00, which sew
eral members of the committee think
is all that is to be provided for by
legislation at present, There was
some talk during the holidays that
Democrats opposed to the bill would
organize to secure its defeat, but it
does not now look as if anything
would come Of it.
Several members were found who
declare they will not vote for the bill
unless it is amended, but there are
those who really believe the bill can
be defeated IN the house, though they
are confident it will not go through
the senate. 1t does not now look as
if the efforts to defeat the bill III the
house would have much strength.

The society event Of the season will
be the appearance of the greatest OF

evening, December 80, at Ghio's opera
house.
Niobo Is now in its fourth season
in this country and is under the same
management (Messrs. Abbott and Til
lotson) which gave Niobe life four
years ago. No play either on the farce
or legitimate order has ever made the
success that Niobe has. IL has been
produced IN all the leading cities and
last season was taken to Portland,
Ore, San Francisco and all the west
ern cities. In each place the verdict
was the same--crowded houses and
the best of satisfaction. Niobe has
proven money maker from its first
production, and with the expense OF
the good actors and actresses employ
ed in its production one can easily see
that the receipts must be large in or
der to meet the great expenses attach
cd to 1t. Messrs. Abbott aud Tillot-
son have always had the best people
in the profession, aud this season the
company is by far the best NIobe has
ever had. Niobe will return to New

Last evening there gathered at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. j. n. Mullins, q
chosen few, who assisted each other in
passing one Of the most enjoyable
evenings of tho holidays. The grace
of the hostess and her sisters, the mer-
ry spirit of the party, and the dainty

venient corner and tine, would have
enabled the most cynical to have
thrown solemity aside and voted it
indeed success.

EIGHT DIFFERENT VAULTS.
With as Many Kinds of Mo ney in
the United States Treasury.

The general opinion Of Washington
people is that there is no place OF
greater general interest to the pub
lie, in the entire city, than the United
States Treasury Department. 1t is
also conceded that there is no more
interesting place in that department,
to the sight-seer, than the immense
vaults in the Treasurers office, where
so much gold, silver and United States
securities are stored. The recent
immense travel eastward from the
Worlds Fair, in addition to the ordi-
nary number of sight-seers, has taxed
the capacity of the treasury guides to
the utmost. The most frequent ques-
ton asked of these guides il the
amount of money stored in the vaults.
For ready answer to these questions
the Office has prepared brief printed
statement showing the amount and
description of the contents of each of
the vaults. These are kept by many
tourists as souvenirs of their trip to
Washington. The figures presented
show that there is stored in the vaults
a total of $749,l920OO, part consist
ing of coin weighing about 5000 tons.
The following are the amounts and
descriptions of the money in the eight
vaults: Standard silver dollars $149-
$50 900; gold coin, $11,50O,00O. frac-
tional silver, $3SS,OOO; national bank
notes received for redemption, $4,-
100000; mixed moneys received daily
for redemption, 100000; mixed
moneys for daily use, $l,000,000
bonds held in security for national
bank circulation, $3.50, 100000; held as
reserve to replace worn and mutilat-
ed notes unfit for circulation, $685.
