 Turner and His Able Work
Communicated:

Communicated:
 The last of the Arkansas Confer ences will close tonight and the ministers will go to their several fields of labor.
 This winds up the work of Bishop Turner in the State of Arkansas.
 Notwithstanding Bishop Turner leaves the State and will not return again unless sent back by the com ing general conference which meets next May. He will forever live in the hearts of the ministers and people of this State and throughout the 9th Episcopal District.
 He is the ablest bishop of the A. NJ. E. Church. and themost prominent living colored man in the world. He has visited Africa, England, France and Germany several times. He stands, as does no other living man of color in his church, or in the world. He is scholar and an able preacher, and is held in high esteem by the race.
 The theological institutes and literary conferences held annually throughout the 9th Episcopal District have done more in the way inspiring the ministers to higher life, than anything ever thought Of.
 Unless those who are to follow in the wake of this distinguished prelate the general interest will wade.

Deputy Sheriff Robert Johnson has again won lauuels as a wide-awake. efficient officer, by the capture last night of q confessed tire-bug.
 During the dark hours of Sunday night the barn of Mr. l.. F. Frazier, who lives in Meehaniesville. was set on fire, and thesAames were put out only after hard works. Mr. Frazier saw the scoundrel apply fire to the barn, and this fact alone saved the building from being consumed. She recognized the negro as Arthur Hardy.
 Deputy Sheriff Johnson learned of the affair, and at one started in pur- sui4 of Hardy. After his dastardly act Hardy at once fled from the city and started for his home near Tamo. The officer got on his trail, hired a horse and followed Hardy to Tamo and there arrested him and brought him back to Pine Bluff, notwith- standing the rain and darkness of the night, and the criminal is now confined in the Jefferson county jail to await the action of the Grand Jury.
 This morning Hardy admits that he set fire to the barn, but says that he was hired to do the act by another man. whose name he dis closed to the officers.

way T department of the people, and people look for them every day With as much zest and pleasure US they turn to any other feature.
 This is true of many department stores all over the country. In many cities there is just one man who appreciates the value of such interest.
 He breaks away from the old set style. He tells something interesting in his space every day.
 There are lots of interesting things in business. Look over the miscel- lany page of any paper-look at It's local news columns, and it's tele- graph news, for that matter, and you'h .see that the majority of the items are more or less closely related to some business fact.
 Dress these facts up in q becoming garb of words; and they will find readers even though they be in amere advertisement"
 Let the merchant come down off his pedestal and talk in his ads. He needn't be flippant-far from It, but let him not write as If he were ad- dressing somebody afar off, and telling him about something at even a greater distance.
 The newspapr goes right into its readers house-goes in and sits down. It is on the table when he eats, and in his hands while he is smoking after the meal. It reaches him when he is in an approachable condition.
 That's the time to tell him about your business-clearly, plainly, con- vincingly-as one man talks to an- other.

CRUSHED TO DEATH.
An Old Farmer Run Over By Train On
 the Valley Road Near Dumas

Saturday afternoon an old farmer by the name of F. k. Boyd lost his life in a horrible manner. He was walking up the railroad track near Dumas when he was overtaken by the special train bearing General Manager Doddridge and other off cials of the road on tour of inspec- tion. I he engineer saw Boyd on the track and gave the usual alarm sig nals and expected him to step from the track every instant. The train approached very near to the doomed man, and as he still continued on the track the engineer applied the brakes, but too late, for Boyd was run over and his life crushed ont of him.
 Boyd has been a customer of the Gould-Galbraith Co.,, of this city, for years, and is well known to them ;s an honorable old man, but a pecu- liarly unfortunate one. About one month ago he lost his wife. a few days later he fell down and injured his leg. He had hardly recovered before he was badly scalded while assisting in cleaning hogs.
 The old man leaves a daughter of about l6 years to mourn his death.

We are also in- formed that the machinery for a thirty-ton ice plant.has been ordered. Judge Silverman is now at Eureka Springs. where its curative waters are very heaefcial to his physical affiiction. This step. we are told, is largely due to the Judges health and it is probable that he will spend the most of his time in the future atthat place.

sight-a most attractive young person,
the constable considered her. He was
aware that matters had recently not
prOspered with Mrs. DavOrn, and that
the lady had been obliged to let apart

gentlemen occupied apartments in the
house-one a half foreign young gent,

an exemplary young man in many ways,

The constable swiftly ran his minds

and then he glanced furtively at the
young MAJ overhead.
Certainly there was something odd
about this gentleman being locked into
his room. 1t might mean nothing, but
it might mean something, and the
worthy policeman was determined not
to move away from the house until he
could turn his back on the premises
with q perfectly easy mind. He ad-
vanced close to the hall door again, put
his ear against the glass panel and
failed to detect any sound in the house.
Then he stepped from the hall door and
advanced to the center of the front par
lOr window.

Constable Metcaf was now busy ex-
amining the ground outside the p9rlor
window.
The sill of the window stood about
three feet from the ground. Underneath
the sill vas the narrow patch Of clay;
ther there was the narrow graveled
wall, upon which the policeman was
standing. Between the graveled walk
and the iron ratings Of the f~orecourt
lay a rectangular patch Of well trimmed
grass. The passage from the front gate
to the hall door was about eight feet in
length by three and q half in breadth.
This passage was laid down in red tiles.
The quick eye Of Constable Metcalf
could detect no sign Of footmarks out
side the window. The graveled path
was almost as hard and as unimpres-
sionable as the red tiles.
"Um!' said he at length, gazing up
at the bedroom window, from which the
young man had now disappeared.
"There doesn't seem very much in this
job" he mutterod as he surveyed the
front of the house. And yeti

the path, f%estooning the space under the
parlor window, was a strip of clay
about IS inches in depth, in which
some ferns were planted.
"Ah!' said Constable Metcalf sud
denly a he turned his eyes upward
and gazed at the parlor window.
"There's something wrong here"
He stopped and looked at the place
where the two sashes met. Then he
stood on tiptoe, ~endeavoring to raise his
eyes to the level of the window hasp.
After a few moments he stepped back
ward, rubbing his chin and staring
down at the patch Of clay under the
window. In a few moments more he
raised his eyes and addressed himself to
the young man overhead in q quiet tone.
