A Heart Party.

The old-time donkey party recently
suggested a new form of evening en-
tertainment, namely, a heart party"
A large heart made of red flannel cloth
was pinned upon a sheet hung from q
door. In the center of the heart was
sewed a small circle of white. Arrows
of white cloth with pins placed there
in were given to the guests, each ar
row bearing a number. the number
corresponding to a list whereon the
names and numbers of the guests were
placed. The point Of the game. of
course. was to see which person. when
blindfolded. would pin the arrow near
est to the central spot of white. Four
prizes were offered--one each for the
lady and gentleman coming tn. near
est to the center, and one each to those
coming the farthest from the bullseye.
The prizes consisted of heart-shaped
pincushion, heart-shaped photograph
frame, silver heart-shaped pin. and
heart-shaped box of bonbons- The
BOBBY prizes were a Brownie holding
a tiny heart with an arrow inscribed
Try, try again." and pincushion
made of red satin. shaped like q beet.

MORE AROUT AUGUSTA TROUBLE.
What Lawyer Jones Has to say About Be
ing Hung i'm EiHgy.

Further particulars of the hanging
in effigy of Lawyer Jones at Augusta
last Sunday have come from that place
\ suit has been filed in the district
court Of Butler county by the state of
New York against \. Ettenson and
wife for the sum of s., 425- The cause
of action claims that in 1880 Mr.. and
Mrs Ettenson left heir son, Marcus, at
the asylum at Syracuse, with the frau
dulent design or having him cared for
as a charity inmate, and represented
that he was a resident of New York,
Mr.. EttenSon claims that the boy was
taken from him at d hotel in New
York by some parties that he did not
know, and he was informed that the
boy would be cared for, and he has
heard nothing from him until the suit
was brought. 1t seems as though Law
yer Jones reported the matter and that
il was through his inStigatiOn that the
suit was brought.
Speaking with a reporter for the FL
Dorado Republican Lawyer Jones said:
Il am in no way responsible for this
trouble The state of New York has
feen in possession OF these facts for
two years and have been investigat-
ing them. How they primarily came
IL possession of them. l am not prepared
TO say. l am simply employed as the
local attorney and receive my fee as
would in any case. When the state OF
New York had satisfied themselves in
locating Ettenson, the comptroller ap-
propria ted the necessary funds for the
assistant attorney general. James y.
Mccormick 10 come out here. He came
and employed me as attorney for the
state of New York. After Mr. Etten-
son had refused to settle the matter he
entered suit for keeping the boy from
December. Z. 1850, 10 June %, 1894 a
$500 per annum, or in all S5,425. The
petition alleges that Marcus Ettenson
was put in the state asylum at SYRIA
cuse under false PretenSes; Mrs. Eft
tenson claiming that he was an orphan
and she his aunt. The boy is a I present
cared for by the authorities of the City
of New York and Will be produced at

CROWDS VIEW The RIVER.
Flood Supposed Now to BE at n Standstill
at highest Point.

The Big Arkansas river was the chief
point of attraction all day yesterday
and last night.
Lewis street. Douglas avenue and Sec
end street bridges were the points a
which the largest crowds assembled 10
look at the mad rushing, muddy, boil
ing stream.
The water was four 10 six inches
higher than morning. II rose an inch
AZ noon and dropped back 10 the morn
ing mark and remained there until mid
night.
The water backed up the Second
street sewer and stood in the gutter
in front Of the Occidental hotel and on
Central avenue the bitches at River
view were half full OF back water. show
ing that these points were on level
with the water in the river.
The Little river was hank full OF
hack water clear uD TO Elm street and
into Riverside park.
The lowIands from Griswold park
clear across to the ice plant on the
West Side, a mile and a half, was a
solid body of water.
Some of the people north of Doug
las avenue on the West Side moved
out yesterday and others whose homes
had higher foundations held the fort
entirely surrounded by water.
People watched the clouds and many
were happy when DR.. Johnson report
ed no indications Of rain.
Il was conceded by everybody tha.
We needed rain on the corn fields on
the uplands. but the question WAS wha.
il IL rains and raises the Little river
II was already bank full and a rise
would certainly send the water down
through the center Of the city.
Farmers who came in from north of
the city reported the corn fields on the
bottom lands along the Big river food
ed and in some places the current was
strong enough - break down the corn.
The general impression last night was
that the water has reached its hiSheS.
stage for the reason that the river has
become 50 wide that an immense vol-
ufne of water additional would be re-
CURED 10 make any percepuble differ

The deceased had for long time suffer-

leaves a husband, three sons and one
daughter 10 mourn her loss. She died
praising the Great Redeerner, and her
death was sweet and peaceful save for
the fact that she could not see her boy

Mrs Gale. Armed with Legal Doc umcnts
Left for Texas Yesterday

Left FOR Texas yesterday.
Mrs. Gale OF this city is on her way 10
Texas now armed with the proper pa
daughter.
Mrs. Gale has had a good deal OF
trouble locating that same innocent
little girl OF five.
A few years ago there lived in this
city a switchman named Lockwood
who lost his JOB and went away 10
find another. He was Mrs. Gales first
husband and the father Of the child in
question.
Mrs. Gale had been divorced from
him and the court granted her the Gus
tody OF the child In the course of
time she married Mr.. Gale and there
was Don a Separtion there also.
Notwithstanding the fact that Mrs.
Gale. or as she was then called, Mrs.
Lockwood, was granted the custody of
the Child. Lockwood made several at
tempts 20 secure liz but failed.
Mrs Gale had a sister whose maiden
name, the officers think. was Miss
Hall. One day Miss Hail visited Mrs.
Gale and they had long conversation
such as sisters usually have.
Miss Hall spoke very complimentary
about Baby Lockwood and insisted on
taking the child over 10 her aunts who
would be delighted 10 see the pretty
little thing"
That was the last Mrs. Gale saw Of
her daughter and her sister. Neither
returned.
Now. then. what did Miss Hall do?
After taking Baby Lockwood away
from Mrs. Gale she boarded the train,
proceeded 10 Houston and there mar
ried Lockwood, the ex-husband OF her
own sister.
For long time Mrs. Gale did not
know where her sister and her baby
were but she finally found out the
facts as above related
She went 10 Houston night before
last and in all proba bility she is in
possession Of her baby by this time
for she carried with her the. evidence
that the court had granted her the Gus
tody OF her child.
