The fOur-months-Old boy babe Of
Mrs. John A. Leach, died last Sunday
evening at the home of Mrs. A. G..
Leach, east Of town, and was buried
near the remains of his father Mon
day afternoon, in the Conway Springs
cemetery. We learn that another of
Mrs. Leach's smaller children is very
sick, but was some better yesterday.
She is surely experiencing severe trials
and in these sad hours she has the
sincere sympathy of this entire com
munity.-Conway Star.

Hon. Otto Eckstein administered to
Cash Henderson, one Of the most
prominent dry goods merchants OF
that city. The facts stated are that
a men Der Of Mr.. Eckstein's family

some trading and while there was In.
suited by Henderson in the basest,
vilest manner in which good woman
can be insulted. She abruptly left
the store and went and Informed Mr..
Eckstein. He purchased a heavy rid
ing whip, "quirt,' with heavy
handle and double lash, concealed 1t
about his person, went to Henderson's
store, called him out and proceeded
to administer to him the soundest
threshing mortal ever got, striking
him over the head and face with
terrific force. Henderson is large
mao as we'll as Eckstein, and could
have easily defended himself, as Bck.
stein is crippled in one arm, but he
never made a move to defend himself,
save to place his lands up to protest
his face, saying all the time, "Yot
are making mistake" "YOu are mis-
taken, Otto" A big crowd gathered
in moment and some one rushed up
and grabbed the whip away from Eek
stein, but not until he had admins
tered terrible punishment upon his
victim. Henderson's face was severe
cut by one Of the blows.

THE HOLIDAY TRADE.
AN. ADVANCE VIEW or WHAT THE
PUBLIC WILL FAVOR.

Japanese Goods show the Greatest Novel
New Toys In Great Array The Great
Number OF Novelties Very Noticeablc.
public Taste Improved.
Jobbers arc now showing goods for
the holiday trade. Although assort-
ments are not yet complete, enough is
already on view to permit fair general
idea to be formed Of the selections that
have been made French china and
glass ware are prominent the Austrian
small wares and toys are III immense
variety German products are most mo-
tieeable in porcelains and fine textiles
The greatest number Of novelties are
shown in Japanese goods. These en-
brace bamboo, porcelain and textile
work in greater variety and opulenee of
design than ever before shown III this
market Especially noticeable is this in
metal work, in which this nation is still
wholly unapproached.
The Christening of taste during recent
years is conspicuous when the eolors
and designs Of goods Of every variety
are compared with those that enjoyed
vogue but a few seasons back Among
materials largely used in this years
goods celIulOid is even more prominent
than ever, and better work is displayed.
Leather goods are also noticeable in the
higher qualities, the cheaper sorts be-
ing comparatively neglected. The sill
yersmiths have never been represented
to better advantage, the more artistic
forms of their work being undeniab1e.
Ornaments for the dining table arc moro
prominent this year and in greater va
riety than heretofore, and once more
the good taste displayed in form is
worthy Of remark
The array Of toys surpasses that of
any previous season IN variety of de-
signs, the number of these in cast iron,
neatly painted, displaying marked en-
terprise in the producers The more
elaborate mechanical toys, too, are gen
orally in advance Of those Of previous
years. OF some of these it is not too
much to say that they are droIl enough
for the entertainment Of adults In
short, the notions departments of the
large jebbing houses begin to take on
the look Of veritable fairs. The retail
dealer as well as his customer later on
seem likely to be embarrassed only by
the distraction of making a choice
among novelties Of rival attractiveness.
Apart from this trade view, there is
matter for real self eongratulation in
the manifold evidence of an improved
public taste and more cultivated artis-
tic appreciation. New York Sun.
