:BURGLARIZED THE BANK.
-SAFE-BLOWERS ENTER THE BANK OF EASTERN ARKAN- SAS. AND MAKE A WRECK
 OFTHE VAULTS.
A Buugling Job. Only Few Postage
 Stamps and Bag of Silver Missing.

Arthur Boyle and wife were coming down to the depot Thursday morning about 2:30 o'clock to catch the early train for Memphis. When opposite the Methodist church, they heard q terrific explosion. Mir. Boyle was un- armed (although he was on journey), consequently he had not Host any safe bowers..' He gave an alarm, however. and the vigilant night watchman and Josie Myers. were soon upon the spot. We don't know what the plan of car- iture was. But anyhow Henry Jen- nings went to the rear and fired his revolver. while Josie and Arthur were left to watch the front. Becoming alarmed the safe-blowers ran out the front door, fell over wire fence or two, and d two horse wagon, iest an .overshoe and escaped. heading toward McDaniel. Arthur fired five shots af- ter them. The bank officials were alarmed and ansinvestigation disclosed the following facts: The robbers en- tered by the rear window, knocked the combinations out of the vault doors and also out of the safe doors. Then they undertook to blow open the inside money vault which is one of Halls best burglar proof time-lock safes.
 The explosives used were dynamite and nitro-glycerine. The explosion tore one of (the- safe doors clear of it's hinges. and sent d missile of steel or iron through the outside vault door. By some strange chance the explosion so bent the lock on the outer door that it could not be reOpened easily, and 1t is thought the operatives never had access to the vault after the explosion.

IN MEMORIAL.

Entered into lite eternal, at Forrest City, Arkansas. Saturday morning, January 9, 1894, HENRY PREwITT STONE. aged years and ? months, only child of Dr. and Mrs. James Ed ward Stone.
 You scarce could think SO small a thing
 Could cause loss so large;
 Hie little light such shadows fling
 From dawn te sunsets marge.
 Only the hearts of those who are be- reaved know the fulness of this sorrow wnd the depth of this loss. His life was short, but full of love and happi- neSs. He was enwrapped and sheltered always by the tenderest lO~e and care, which he fully repaid by hes lovely and affectionate ways. He wasa singularly attractive and engaging child to all who knew him, and he bore his painful ill., ness with great patience and sweetness and died literally plllowed on love. On Sunday afternoon, with prayers and hymns of resignation and hope, we laid him to rest in the cemetery on a sloping hillside, and lefthim there with the western sun streaming full and warm over the little mound.
 As the sweet flower that scents the morn, But withers in the rising day, Thus lovely was this infants dawn. Thus swiftly sped his life away. He died to sin, he died to cares. But tor moment felt the rod; o mourIper such, the Lord declares, Such are the children of our God A FKIEND.

Sadie Rogers is Dead.
Died Monday. January %, Sadie E., beloved wife of c. D. Rogers and daugh- ter of Mir. and Mrs. T. A. R. Davis.

Mother, I've seen thro' the veil clear across
 To the banks of that bcsutiful stream,
 Where the saints are repaid for all earthly loss And death Is only dream.
 The sweet words. full of comfort and consolation, rose and fell in soft caden- ces, tender and touching as a mothers lullaby, over the remains of one of the dearest women we have ever been blessed in knowing, and then the notes died away and all that was mortal of Sadie Davis Rogers was consigned to its final resting place in OUT city of the dead.
 Just crowned with the glorious coro- net of motherhood, life opening out fair and bright and sweet and full of prom ise, idolized by an adoring husband and loved by friends without number. it was hard to see the smile fade from the lips that had ever kindly word tor all but the Master had need of her i'll that land of ''glory beyond the dark stream" so Death softly kissed her eyelids down and led her gently in to sleep" Her life was an exemplifcation M all that is noble, tender and sweet in womanhood, and while we grieve for and mourn her loss, we know that, pure in heart and walk and deed, she is now infinitely above the ills and trials of this sOrrowful werld.
 The intelligence of her untimely death shocked the community as it has not been shocked in years, and from every lip there feli words of regret for her loss and sympathy for the stricken family. May they receive grace and strength from on high to bear the blow that has fallen so heavily upon them.
 The interment took place at Forrest City Cemetery. Tuesday at noon, Rev

 The feature of the evenings enter tainment was the novel manner of serving refreshments, combining as it did literary feature. The hosteSses had prepared pasteboard boxes, about 4x6 inches and inches deep, hand somely covered with colored crinkled tissue paper, the top representing bag tied around thel neck and flatteBed. Each guest was supplied with one of the boxes. when Mrs. Nichols explain ed that each box contained quotation from some one of the authors which had been reviewed by the Club, and that the person whotfi told the au- thor of and whence thesquotation was taken should receive the first of three favors. The boxes were united and the ladies looked grave and pensive, while the men asked information of their neighbors. In. few moments Miss Lollie Davis gave the correct answer 10 her quotation, won first favor, which Was an exquisite head rest. Miss Nellie Mallory came in for second favor a moment later, and received a beautiful hand made match safe. Then it was We scribe, after consulting several at torneys and merchants, concluded to make guess at the card found in his box. Ike was more than surprised to hnd that lie had won the third and last favor. which was an artistically hand- painted celluloid-covered penwiper. with the motto The pen is mightier than the sword" on the first cover. It was quite coincident that the Guota- tlon rall Talent alone cannot make a writer" and that it came to us.

At any rate the explosion failed to tear away the protection to the Bank s thousands, aud their loss consists in the damage done their safe and vault, and bag f silver containing S2OO which was to bulky to place in the in- ner vault.
 The ''safe deposit" department of the vault was filled with valuables of all kinds belonging to citizens. none of which were mOlested, except S1000 worth of postage stamps belonging to the government. .and which sdeputy postmaster Wilson had placed there for safe keeping. Sheriff Williams private drawer, it seems. received a flying missile. His bank book, and many valuable papers were torn half in two and lot Ot county scrip was com pletely demolished, it having the ap- pearanee of paper which had been shot out of a gun.
 Wilson also had private drawers con- taining S2400, and other persons had considerable money on special deposit which the thieves failed to notice.
 We congratulate the bank on the strength and safety of it's vaults. Hat 1t been less secure they would have lest in the neighborhood of S15 .000.
 Three men were arrested on suSpi- e;on. but were released, and there is no clue to the criminals.
 The bank will at once purchase new and even a better safe than the one which was demolished.

The subject of this sketch was reared in Memphis. where he received the ad- vantages afforded by the public schools. He is self made.man in every respect. His business career began with the po- sitiun of cash boy for LOwenSteln .& Bro. and by close attention to business and rigid economy was enabled to em- bark in business for himself, which he did in 1875, locating in Forrest City. The firm name at that time was Pol lock, Russell & Go. The firm has freouently been changed since, but Mir. Russell is still at the head of the busi- ness " hich is now one of the largest in Forrest City, and is carried on under
 
 Co. His business experience in For rest City is one Of which any man might we'll be proud, Starting in lie a poor boy, without a dollar, he has worked his way up the, ladder of for tune urtil he occupies the most promi- nent positions. In addition to being one of tic foremost merchants of this section, he is president of the Bank df Eastern Arkansas. in which instltu- ton he is largely interested. both per- sonaly and financially, and owns some | of the finest. most productive and beau tiful farms in Arkansas, or any other state for that matter. Iii 1oSO he was married to Miss Lucille Galloway, an adopted, daughter of Col. and Mrs. NJ. c. Galloway of Memphis. They have three beautiful children in the persons of Annie, Mary and James, iir., and are highly esteemed for their many noble traits.

A SHELTER plant will in all probaoii- ity be erected at Needles this year. The corporation will be organized under the laws of Arizona, and it will be an Arizona corporation. The erection of a shelter in Needles will stimulate the production of ores and notwithstanding the low price of silver, the mining of that metal in Mohave and Yayapai counties can be made profitable with a shelter within easy reach. There is abundant fuxing material which can be had at little cost, and there is plenty of ore within radius of 100 miles of Needles to keep shelter running for years. The funds necessary for the undertaking are ready, awaiting final report of experts who have examined the mineral resources of the country contiguous to the Needles, and they find that there is plenty of ore to warrant ihe erection of a spelter

NOTWITHSTANDING occasional sharp criticisms on and off the floor the house is overwhelmingly in favor of main- taining the Interstate Commerce com mission. Out of 104 members present when Representative Morse, of Massa- chusetts, moved to strike out of the sundry civil bill the item making an appropriation for the commission, only five voted for the motion. During the debate on that motion it was made ap- parent that in the opinion of some members it was not the law which was to be blamed for decisions that have been made against the commission, but the inability of the commission to em- ploy as able and sklllful lawyers to up- hold the law as the railroads did to defeat it.
