QUICK WORK.
The sherlTand HIS Deputies Capture Two
 Notorious Criminals.

Sheriff Triplet and his deputies have in the past few days made several important captures of criminals wanted in other counties, and done it, too, in manner that deserves great praise.
 The other day a telegram was re- ceiyed from Union county, giving a description of Frank NJ. Henderson, Sr. (colored), and asking that he be arrested and held on the charge of burglary, committed i'll that county. The telegram was placed in the hands of q deputy and in less than two hours Henderson was confined in the jail.
 This morning Mr. J. W. Becker, of Stuttgart, walked into the Sheriff's office and gave a description of one Bob Baxter, n negro, whom he be- lieyed to be in Pine Bluff, and who was wanted in Prairie county on the charge of rape Officers Brewer and Johnson and Deputy Constable Carr were given instructions to seek for and arrest Baxter. He was soon found in the employ of Mr. Strobel, the Main street butcher, was arrest cd and locked up to await the arrival of the Prairie county officers.
 Baxter is a notorious criminal. He served three years in the penitentiarg on the charge of attempted rape, and soon after his release he again com mitted the same offense near Des Arc. He was arrested, but made his escape from jail before he was tried. This occurred nearly one year ago, and nothing had been heard from him until today. A reward was of fered for his arrest, but just how much we do not know.

A DIVINE SONGSTRESS.
What the Press Has to Say About Miss
 Yaw aud Her Singing.

Musical critics present were amazed at the phenOminal range of Miss Yaw's voice, which extends over three Octaves. They said nothing like it had been heard i'll modern times for compass and purity com bined. Her ovation was hearty and overwhelming, each number receiv- ing rapturous encores.-San Fran cisco Examiner.
 Miss Yaw made her first appear ance last night at the Auditorium and scored an instantaneous success. She is certainly gifted with a mar yelous voice, such voice as is heard but once in a round of centuries, for history records no such range as hers. Her high register is simply astonishing, soft and mellow, but unlike any human voice ever heard.- Kansas City Times.
 The Music Hall was crowded to it's utmost capacity lasteyening to listen to the last of the series of concerts given by the Schubert Club. The phenominal young singer, Miss Ellen Beach Yaw, was the bright particu- lar star of the evening The recep- tfon accorded her was flattering i'll the extreme; it was, in fact, an ova- tion, as her wonderful voice took the audience by storm.-St. Paul Globe.
 Miss Yaw and company will appear at the Pine Bluff opera house Wednesday evening, March 9th.

 To the eye of Faith nothing is fairer than the death of a young child. Sight and sense may, indeed, recoil from it. The flower that, like a breathing rose, filled heart and home with an exquisite delight, is no more, and the parents are stricken and sore with anguish to find the stem broken and the flower gone. Their child's earthly ministry was well done, flor the rose does it's W ork as grandly in blossem as the vine with it's fruit" and having helped to sanctify and lift heayenward the very hearts that broke at its farewell, it has gone from the troublesome sphere, "ere the winds chilled or the rains stained 1t, [" leaving the world it blessed and the skies through which 1t passed still sweet with its lingering fragrance, to its glory as an eyer-unfolding flower in the blessed garden of God.

One of the greatest physicians in America said to lady patient the other day: of you can keep your bowels active you will never need my services"
 Constipation is one of the most danger ous complaints. It creates a disordered liver, and then follow siek-headaches, bil iousness, loss of appetite etc.
 A physician would first prescribe a 2anOn's Tonic Liver Fill to open the bowels and clean out all the poisonous bile. He would then give you Ramon's Tonic Pellets for purifying the blood, stimulating the appetite, and strengthening the system. The two medicines would cure you completely and make you feel better than you have felt for years. Ask your drug gist for RamOn's Tonic Liver Pills. They cost 25c. a box, and you get with them a box of Pellets free.

The barn is built Of round cobble stones
from the lake shore. Back Of the barn an
apple orchard stretches to the banks OF the
creek. To the right are fragrant meadows
of buckwheat. In this good home Nathan
Gilliefower and his wife, Ann, were now en-
joyng a comfortable and prosperous olo
age.
They had two children-Joel, bacnelor
of IS, who superintendent the farm work,
and Miss Julia, who never looked into the
family Bible because it contained the date
OF her birth. Joel and Miss Julia had been

Bridges, and afterward had driven In daily
to the high school in Alton. They were,
from the beginning sober, respectable and
industrious. and sober, respectable and In

looked very much alike, and also like their
father and mother, between whom there was
the nblance common to old couples.
They were tall and heavy, with dark hair,

clothes ready made in Buffalo. These were

the matter Of neckties.
Neither Miss Julia nor Joel had ever

suit OF determined celibacy. Cupid had
ever aimed their way. Joel had once taken
Sally Calthorpe to drive and all the way

victory the following Sunday, Miss Sally
was gone with another man
The elder Gillie1owers were very anxious
that Joel should marry. First, because it
was material an right" and second, be-
cause they wanted to see an heir to the
Gilliefower acres. Their son was likely,
steady, well-to-do. What more could a
woman want? AS for Julia, that was of less
importance. Old maids were more in the
order Of nature. A bachelor was a mon
strosity. Old Nathan talked seriously to
Joel about it as they husked corn in the
barn.
