sevisr County Rid Of Trouble me
and Dangerous Band.

The work Of running down moon
sinners and breaking up illicit distiler-
les, in which Revenue officers of Ark
ansas have been 30 earnestly engaged
for several weeks past, is still being
persecuted with success. Their last
efforts have been devoted 10 Sewer
and adjoining counties For years
past the territory embracing these
counties has been cursed by hese men
and their nefariouI business, and it
has been almost impossible to catch
the Offenders or break up their Illicit
business, Tho grand jury OF Sewer
county, now in session has returned a
number Of indictments against tho
offenders and the CONT ordered the
Sheriff Of that county to sammons az
many men as necessary and make a
dihgsnt search Of the county for the
men. Acting upon this order the
Sheriff gathered a posse and started
after his game, capturing one of the
members of the gang near the west
ern border OF the county, In the Bear
Creek Hills, where he had been for
months making and selling whiskey.
Being satisfied there we're more in
that vicinity another search was made;
three of the Shsriff's men ran upon
another gang of moonshiners near
where they had captured the one on
the previous night. One of them was
on the watch and covered the ag-
gressors with his winchester, but. I'M
fortunately for the outlaw, another of
the Sherift's posse was watching the
movements and attacked him from
the rear, and before he realized the
situation his gun was snatched from
his hand and he was prisoner. The
officers started to Lockesburg with
their captives and in the Cosatot Bot
tom they bsheld three moving figures
that looked like phAntoms in the
moonlight as they sneaked from thick
underground to the roadside. Again
the officers were too quick for them.
Before they could get their position
they we're covered with twenty guns
and compelled to march out into the
road. 1t WAS three more of the gang
Of which two had been captured and
their purpose was to attack the crowd
in that bottom and release their COM
rades, They were armed with Bowie
knives and wincbesters. The posse
succeeded in landing their prisoners
safely in the county jail, from which
place they were taken yesterday. and
arraigned for trial in the circuit court
where they were promptly tried and
convicted, receiving various terms of
imprisonment, It is thought that this
prompt administration Of justice will
put a sudden stop to the business in
that section.

SMITHS OF sMITHToN.
Sketch of An Arkansas Lady Proani-
nent In Railway CireleE.


In recent issue the St. Louis Lum.
herman contains the following sketch
of a lady who is well known In Arksn-
sas railway and lumber circles
"The Smithton Lumber Company OF
Smithton, Ark, illustrates strikingly
in its success and growth the manage
rial ability Of both sexu In singls
family It's president, Mrs. M. A.
Smith, succeeded TO the position Of
her husband in the company at his
death few years ago, and under her
control and management its affairs
have prospered unlnterruptedly
through good and bad seasons.
The Smithton concern was organic
ed in 1882 by Messrs. Smith q Van
Dorm. After several years partner
ship Mr.. j. A. Smith, since deceased,
purchased the interest Of his partner
and continued to operate what was
then one of the most representative
plants in Arkansas. A railroad was
built and brAnched OF In two direc-
tions from the mill. The saw mill
which the originator built was de-
stroyed by fire n year or two ago, and
the one which replaces IL is an excel
lent plant. The connected planning
mill is also first-ciass in It's equip
ments and general appoints.
The company's shipments in 1892
amounted to 975 cars, or 12,99O,OO0
feet, while in 1898 the shipments in
creased to l,O43 cars, 137S9,SsS feet.
Not many yellow pine manufacturers
in the South have increased their out
put in the same ratio.
The Southwestern Arkansas & In
dian Territory railroad, operated In
connection with the Smi,hton Lum-
Der company, is now thirty-six miles
in length, exclusive OF sidings, stand
ard gauge. During the last year
several miles of track have been laid
and new engine and number Of
cars added to tho equipment The
western terminus Of the road is now
in the edge Of Pike county, the An
toni river bridge having been COM
pleted Christmas week. At meet
ing Of the board of directors of tho
railroad, held on January Is, Mrs.
Smith was reelected vice-presdent
and her daughter, Mise. Margaret
Smith, young lady Of 18, secretary
and treasurer. Miss Smith has re-
ceived thorough education, gradual
ing at the Galloway college, in Searcy,
Ark last June, We doubt If any
young lady has ever before been elect
ed to fiji SO prominent position in a
railway company. Mrs. and Miss
Smith desire to become members Of
the Concatenated Order Of HooIIoo.

The Origin of Earrings,

1t is a strange tradition among the
Arabians that earrings came into use
In the following way: When Pharaoh
summoned Abraham and reprOached
MIN for his untruth an saying that
sarah was his sister, Abraham prayed
1or the King, and Allah healed the
King, who now gave Abraham many
rlch presents, and among others an
Egyptian slave named Hagar. She
bore him son, whom he called Ish-
mael But Sarah was barren, and
the more jealous since the light of
Mohammed shone on lshmael's fore
head, she demanded Abraham to put
away Hagar and her son. He was
undecided until commanded by Allah
to obey Sarah I'm ali things. Yet he
entreated her not to cast of her
bondmaid and her son. But this SO
exasperated her that she declared she
would not rest until her hands had
been imbrued in Hagar's blood. Then
braham pierced Hagar's ear quickly
and drew ring through it, so that
Sarah was able to dip her hands in
the blood of Hagar without bringing
the latter into danger From that
time it became the custom among
women to wear earrings.

Artificial Maple Sugar.

Decoctions or extracts of the wood
or bark of trees are frequently used
for favoring sirups or sugars. Diff
ferent extracts differ in taste. Tho
hickory tree, it is said, yields an ex.
tract that will impart the flavor Of
the maple, and Daily's method of pro.
ducing artificial maple sirup of sugar
is as follows: Make an extract of
hickory bark or wood by allowing
water to percolate through the same,
The bark or wood may be ground, or
sawdust therefrom used. Hot water
may be used, or the material boiled
in water. The strength of the extract
may be increased by increase of the
quantity of the wood or bark. To ono
gallon of hot or boiling sugar sirup
add, say, three tablespoonfuls of this
hickory extract. 1t is said the effect
of the extract is to produce flavor
that renders the sirup indistinguish-
able from the genuine maple sugal.
If the sirup is boiled down, sugar
resembling maple sugar in taste is
produced. London Public Opinion.

A Well Trained CAT

I once had some cats which really
could be taught to do anything,
They were white Iceland maltese
and their eyes we're as blue az the
skies in June Unlike others OF
their species, they dearly loved to
play in water, and they would spend
hours fishing chips out Of pan
Of water. One of thom, Jabeg, was
regular John Sullivan Of cat. He
would fight anything and everything.
The only safe way to take him out
was in bag l had one made with
perforations which l carried on my
arm and in which l saw something
which l fancied he might possibly
think he could fight when, as
measure of safety | would bob his
head down and tighten the draw
string. He knew his bag as well as
dill, and when he wanted to 20 out
he would go and take 1T down, bring
1t 10 me and sit down and look wist-
fully first at the bag and than at me.
Another trick of this intelligent
creature was, when we we're In the
park, where he dearly loved to 20, to
run to flower bed, bit off blossom
and bring it to me. AS these Ice
land cats are the most desirable Of
household pets, it is pity that it is
almost impossible to keep them any
len 9Th of time in this climate. Like
trout, they require low tempera-
ture. Anything above sixty-fve de-
grCcg is uDfayOra BILE to them -Inter-
