dition OF business as not having realized anticl-

AN INHUMAN FATHER.

News reached this city yesterday,
giving meagre details of most re-
voting crime in the neighborhood
of Fouke, a station on the Texarka-
ma & Shreveport railway, about ten
miles distant from Texarkana,
where the father of a young mar
ried woman was arrested on a
charge of assault committed on the
person of his daughter 1t seems
that the unnatural and inhuman
parent had taken advantage Of the
girls helplessness and by force
compelled her to submit to his
fendish lust. The crime, for some
reason, was kept secret by the girl,
possibly through shame and fear,
until after marriage, when she con
fessed same to her husband, who,
in turn, made it public,
which resulted in the ar
rest of the accused. Our inform
ant, who is a thoroughly reliable
man, was unacquainted with the
parties to the crime, hence we are
unable as yet to give the names.
We understand that a preliminary
trial of the accused will be held at
Fouke today.
LATER;--We have, since writing
the above, ascertained the name
of the accused to be Goldman, and
are informed that the feeling
against him is extremely bitter,
and threats of lynching INDUCED in.
Owing to the Intervention of cooler
heads, however, the danger Of mob
violence has been averted and the
law allowed to take its course, Civ

with an opportunity to establish
his innocence of the crime, If in his
power so to do,

UNCLE SANS STRONG BOX.
The President Talks Regarding Our
Present Financial Sit

Yesterdays special dispatch, from
Washington, to the Associated
Press announce the following ut
terences from President Cleveland
on the financial situation: "The
offer of certain of the New York
banks to replace from their vaults
this gold withdrawn from the gov
eminent treasury for shipment
abroad is certainly thoughtful and
patriotic. 1t not only tends to
maintain the treasurys gold re-
serve in good condition, but it adds
to the stock of popular confidence,
which is at all times important.
The elements which make up our
actual situation do not justify any
apprehensiOns and the administra-
ton still adheres to its pledge and
determination to protect our nation
al credit at all hazards and to keep
the quality of our money equal to
the best, so far as the limits of ex-
ecutive power permits. OF course
croaking and the spread of the dis
quoting tales is calculated to in
jure the stringent financial condi-
lions. | assume, however, that there
is too much patriotism among our
people and too much familiarity
with our resources and capabilities
to permit our reserved force and
financial vigor to be discredited,
When the last Government bonds
were issued to replenish our stock
Of gold, it was nearly as low as now,
while outside of our gold we had as
available money to pay ordinary eX-
penses of the Government only
about $19,000,000 We have now
besides our gold, and in money app
plicable to Government expenses
more than $4,000, 600. | under
stand it is charged in certain quar-
tiers that the payment of matured
obligations is postponed to the
amount of $50, 100000 or $75,OO0,-
900. This is not true. We are
paying as we go in the usual way.
Last year up to June the balance
against the United States arising
from the exports and imports of
merchandise, excluding gold and
silver, was $64, 552, 040. The balance
in our favor for the same period
this year was 1852, $50, $50, repre-
senting a change in our favor of
$127, 512,6 COS. These conditions TAX
en- into consideration with the
willingness of our banks to help the
Treasury during any temporary and

THE SECRET OF SUCCESS.
Judicious Advertising the Foundation
Stone of Commercial
Prosperity.

A writer, who has evidently given
some time and thought to the sub,
ject, has this to say on the advan-
tages to be derived from iudicious
advertising:
One man succeeds and another
man fails and people wonder how it
happens, 1t seems sometimes to
people who don't think deeply that
the weaker, duller man goes ahead
and that his more brilliant brother
sticks in the rut at the first round
of the ladder.
Slight differences i'll men seem to
make all the wide differences be-
tween success and failure.
In games of chance (O the bank
has only slight per centage, but
the bank always wins.
Back of every result is a reason.
Back of business success are earn
estness, energy, persistence, con-
centration. Between these and
achievement is advertising.
No man ever yet made a success
of business without advertising of
some sort. Maybe he didn't call it
advertising, but it was advertising
Just the same.
Advertising primarily consists in
letting lot of people know you are
in existence and what excuse you
have for it.
The neucleus of advertising is a
sign over the door.
If nobody had ever put up sign,
the Royal Baking Powder Co. would
not now be paying 100000 a year
placing signs in all the newspapers
of America,
When a man goes into business
he has some cards printed and when
he meets an acquaintance thereaf-
ter he pokes out card and says:
"When you're down my way drop
in" That's advertising.
The trouble is you can't repeat
the operation often enough--per-
sonally. What you can do is to
put the card and the remark, more
or less deliberately expressed, into
the daily paper and have it handed
to 1000 people all in one day.
The difference in men that makes
one do this and another refuse is
small--that is, it looks small at the
start. It's like most all little things
when you stop to analytic it and
figure it out to its ultimate result
you find that it grows into proper
tions of great magnitude.
An advertisement in the newspa-
per is a little thing but it goes into
hundreds of homes and tells thou
sands of people just what you most
want them to hear. If the "ad" is
an honest one it will always pay.

CONGRESSIONAL FORECAST.
Tariff in the Senate and Railway Bill
in the House, During the
Present Week.

If Washington dispatches may be
relied upon there is little doubt in
any quarter that the present week
will see the end of the tariff debate
in the United States Senate. This
belief appears to be well founded
and is almost universally INDUCED
in by official circles at Washing
Estimates as to the time when
the final votes shall be reached
range from today until Saturday,
but a majority of the Senate have
expressed the opinion that the final
vote will be taken on Wednesday or
Thursday. With the thermometer
ranging from 95 to SO as it did on
Saturday and today Senators find
every reason for dispatching the
business as rapidly as possible.
In view of this fact Senator Har-
ris still thinks it possible to CON
clude the work on the bill by to-
night. To accomplish this however
means very rapid work, compare
lively few speeches and the possible
postponement of important items,
such as reciprocity, until confer
ence reports shall be made, Sena-
tor Allison who has had long ex-
perience with tariff and appropria-
ton bills and other legislation af-
fecting diversified interests, ex-
presses the opinion that the Senate
will not dispose of the bill in COM
mittee of the whole before tonight,
and that the four remaining days
of the week will be necessary to
finish the work on the bill in the
Senate.
He also thinks it probable that
there will be some general speeches
by those who, finding that the de-
bate is coming to a close, will want
to be heard upon some point of in
terest to them or their people. The
more important questions yet to be
disposed of in committee are, The
remainder of the income tax, the
whiskey and the spirit tax; the to-
bacco tax; Senator Teller's retalia-
ton diamond amendment; the spun
silk yarn question. which was pass
ed over when the silk schedule was
under consideration, and the reel
procity question if it be not post
poned, and in the Senate, sugar
and wool as well as others. If the
final vote on the tariff bill is reached
before Saturday the appropriation
bills which have been reported will
be Immediately taken up, but in
what order has not yet been deter
mined.

Worn out in Harness

In the harness Of every day BUSH
ness work men and women wear out
prematurely. For some Of us it is
not easy, for others again, it is inn
possible to get out of harness. 1t
is the inhexible yoke, the strongly
forged unbreakable shackle of inn
perative servitude needful to our
selves and those most dear to us.
The weight Of it often bows many
of us into the grave before
our time, but it is undoubtedly true
that there is means of rendering
the burden less onerous, and of nit
igating the ailments that unremit-
ting toil-especially of sendentary
kind--has Il tendency to produce.
Over worked clerks in counting
houses, mill operatives, book keep
ers, type writer's and others testify
to the reviving, restorative effects
of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, and
its power of renewing physical and
mental energy when overtasked
and on the wane. Dyspepsia, fail
ing vigor, rheumatic, bowel and
kidney complaints yield to this
benefcient medicine, which is a
preventive of malaria and counter
acts the effects Of exposure in in
