that a man had bought banana FROM him
and gave him a lead 10 cent piece to pay
for it, The Dago kicked and the man

skipped. That was all. The fruit man
was minus one banana and nothing more.

A REMEDY FOR THE BOYS.

~ have tumbled onto something that
all the boys ought to know" said an old
sport yesterday. "YOu know that some of
the boys forget themselves these hot days
and look on the wine while it is red. Well,
this generally knocks them clean over the
dashboard and L am onto a scheme by
which they brace their stomachs and
themselves after one of these sDrees. OF
course, any one who has ever been nnwise
enough to tamper with the flowing bowl
to excess knows that the greatest trouble
is to get something edible to rest COM
fOrtaby upon the stomach the next day.
Now that is all provided for if he word
of well known chef can be taken as an
indication of knowledge Just go to a
restaurant and order iced aspar-
agus with a spicy French dressing.
The dressing acts as an appetizer, while
the iced asparagus descends soOthngly
into the fevered interior and gently cOaXes
the disgusted stomach back to duty again.
After the lapse of about an hour eat
another dish of the same, and I'll wager
you will then begin to feel that you have
taken fresh grip upon life. Keen-edged
remorse generally takes a back seat after
that kind of treatment"

American women are, unfortunately,

much hopelessness and misery.
Could all women realize the undeni-

how much brighter life would be!
Lydia E. Pinkham devoted her life to
the study of female diseases and their
cause and she discovered in the Vege-

Advertisers Contest.

In the typewriter and bicycle con tests voting has been exceedingly lively this week, and there have been more coupons voted during the past week than during the entire preceding weeks of theeoHtests. Interest inten- sifies as the contests grow apace, and each week will no doubt witness q much larger vote than thepreeeeding one. The GRAPHIC is offering two very pretty and valuable prizes to the winners of these contests, either one of which is worthy of the best efforts of the candidates and their friends. It is indeed a rare oppor- tanity to get a bicycle OF a type writer-Worth S100 each-merely for the asking, and the winner of either contest will be, indeed, a fortunate and favored person.
 While there is a great increase in the vote of last week over that of the proceeding week, the relative po- sition of the candidates is not mate rially changed, except that in the typewriter contest Mir. George Val liant, Jr., who Bas third last week. takes second place this week, with Miss Anna LawtoH still in the lead
 In the bicycle contest Master Dave Berlin still leads, with k. T. Roberts a close second and Miss Bab McGehee a close third While Miss Carrie Greenfield's position has not ad- yanced-she still being fourth-she received the second largest vote cast last week, which indicates that her friends are active and energetic and that she will make very spirited race.
 From the closeness of the vote there is no one yet who can pick the winner i'll either the Typewriter or Bicycle contest.
 The following is the result of the vote up to o'clock last evening:

NO DANGER. NO FEARS OF AN OVERFLOW. River Rising at Pine Bluff but Falling at Fort Smith and Little
 Rock.

While the Arkansas river continues to rise at this point it will no doubt reach a stand during the day. Ad- vices from Fort Swith yesterday was to the effect that the river had fallen 2.3 feet there with no fears ofanother rise. From Little Rock the news came last evening that the river was on a stand there and that it would begin to fall by morning.
 From these advices the people of Jefferson county need have no fears of an overflow, unless there should be more heavy rains in this State to augment the volume of water now confined between the rivers banks.

 SECOND AVE- s. E. COR OF PINE STREET,
SPLENDID WORK
OF THE COTTON BELT SHOPS
A New Engine and Ten Flat Cars Turned
 Out in Six Days.

Yesterday afternoon about 3 o'clock there was side-tracked near the Cotton Belt depot a new engine attached to ten flat cars, which at tracted no small degree of attention and comment. There was nothing unusual ill the sight save and except that tile engine and cars were bran new and were as handsome and as tidy as a new pin. The engine was No. 14S and had been built at the Cotton Belt shops from bottom to top, also the ten new flat coal cars, within the past six days. The work was much admired and was very creditable to the mechanics at the Cotton Belt shops. The engine and cars are put on exhibition in order to show the Pine Bluff public just what can be done at the shops in the course of weeks time, and those who saw the work were loud in their praise and compliments.
 A GRAPHIC reporter was also in- formed last night that next week two new vestibuted baggage cars would come from the shops, and that within the next thirty days 9 coal cars, 15 box cars and 25furniture cars would be turned out.

Two millions of people live and move and have their being within the generous flow of it's irrigated valleys. Two mill lons of people prosper, give their sons and daughters in marriage. and live to old age upon it's nroduetipa soll. Two millions of people! Who can grasp it's future? Who can com prehend its wonderful siglificance2 Who can grasp the total?

A Barbecue

A barbecue was given at Corner ville on the 26th ult., under the man agement of Messrs. Barham and Har- per. Those who attended express themselves as highly pleased with the days entertainment. Congress- man Little and Hon. J. w Adams, editor of the Pine Bluff GRAPHIC, were there and made some powerful speeches on the currency question. The cause of free silver at 16 to was ably defended and promulgated by Judge Little, and in reply MT. Adams produced a masterly effort in behalf of the sound currency side of the question. Both men talked on a high plane and never descended to the base and vulgar style of some public speakers.-StarC City Ledger.

ARKANSAS IN TT.
Found Only in Four States in

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-The forth- coming review by the geological sur vey of the mineral resources of the country will show that the produc- ton of aluminium in the United States in 1894 was 55O, 1000 pounds. The imports were valued at $4,1lc. Bstuxfte. which is an oxide of aluminium, has been found in suffi- cient quantities to be commercially valuable in only three localities in the United States. These are in New Mexico, Ark ansas and the Coosa Val ley of Georgia and Alabama. Alumi-. mum, the review will say, has now found the position in the arts pre- dicted for it, and the demand is in- creasing. It's metallurgical use has proved more valuable than was ex- pected.
