STOLE A BALE OF COTTON
But He Was ohaught Before He Could
 Dispose of It.
Walker Price is in jail.

w dlkeF | TlCe lb III Jetu.
 He had heard of the circus in Pine Bluff today, and feeling that he was not rich enough to attend the same, stole a pale of cdtton that with the money he might derive from its sale he could come to our city, ''take in" the show and paint the town a lurid color.
 Walker Rice.is a negro farmer who lives near Altheimer. He had one bale of his own, but that was not enough to satisfy his desires, so when lie started from his home with his cotton on a two-horse wagon yesterday, he drcve by a gin near Altheimer and stole anotiIer bale that was owned by Ava Collier. Collier soon missed his cotton and at once telegraphed a description of the marks on the bale to this city, with request that whoever had the cotton be arrested.
 The telegram was placed in the hands of Deputy Constable Goode, and that officer at once began a serch for the stolen "fleecy." About 7.30 o'clock Price. with his wagon and cotton drove down Barraque street, and on arriving in front of the court house, was espied by the watchful officer. The thief was ar rested and placed in Jail in default of $500 bond, and Golfers cotton was dumped on the side walk in front of the court house to await the arrival of the owner.

It is the reputation for integrity, intelligence and judgment that should give the newspaper it's circu- lation; 1t is the circulation that gives it advertising, and it is the money for advertising that enables the newspaper to be@sold at such a price that comes within the reach of the masses of the people; then the subscriber receives the benefit of the money paid the newspaper for ad- vertising, as we'll as saying money by reading the advertisements and finding where he can get tine most for the money he spends. Mir. Clad stone recently said that the adver- tisements in newspapers were worth infinitely more to the people than the paper cost them. not to mention the news. If you pick up news paper well filled with paying adver- tisements, you may know that the paper is on q paying base, if it is properly managed; it can therefore be at more expense for news, which, adding merit to it, enables it to ex- tend its circulation. which result induces more advertising and better rates, and again enables the paper t, become better medium as;si as news, and SC on nj infinitum, all of which helps the people, giving them for the same price Il better medium, both of news and advertisements. -Ffs oftt Smith Democrat.

GROVER GETS ANGRY

Because Massachusetts Preacher
Said He Was Incorporate.
WASHINGTON, April 7-When the
report of a speech, made in a Metho-s
dist conference at Salem, Mass, by
Rev. Lansing, and his subsequent pub
lished interview, accusing the presi-
dent of intemperance was shown to
Mr. Cleveland this evening, he said,
with considerable warmth:
This is simply an outrage, though
it is not the first time a thing of this
kind has been attempted. I cannot
avoid a feeling of Indignation that any
man who makes claims to decency,
and especially one who assumes the
role of a Christian minister, should
permit himself to become a dissemin--
ator of wholesale lies and calumnies,
not less stupid than they are cruel and
wicked.
II easily recall other occasions when
those more or less entitled to be called
ministers of the gospel have been in
strumental in putting into circulation.
the most scandalous falsehoods con-
corning my conduct and character.
The elements or factors of the most
approved outfit for placing a false and
barefaced accusation before the public
appear to be, first, some one with
baseless motive sufficient to invent (
second, a minister with more gullibility
and love of notoriety than piety, greed-
lily willing to listen to it and gobble IT.
and, third, newspaper anxiously wills:
ing to publish it. For the sake of the
Christian religion, / am thankful that
these scandal-mongering ministers are
few, and, on every account, 1 am glad
that the American people love fair
play and justice, and that, in spite of
all effort to mislead them, they are,
apt to form a correct estimate of the
character and labors of their public
servants

GIBBONS ATTACKED.
The Rev. McCrOry, of Pittsburg.
Jumps on the Cardinal

The Rev. McCrOry, of Pittsburg.
Jumps on the Cardinal.
PITTSBURG, Pa, April 7.-Rev. ].
L. McCrory, pastor of the the Third
United Presbyterian church, today de-
livered a scathing attack on Cardinal
Gibbons and his supposed justification
of the mob in Savannah. Mr.. MeCrory
is a man of extreme views, and is a
supporter of the blue laws. He was
president of the law and order society,
and directed the war against the Sun
day newspapers. He quotes from the
remarks of Cardinal Gibbons on the
work of the mob, and then said:
The cardinal protests earnestly
against his church being held respon-
sible for the Spanish inquisition, yet
we submit whether it was more out of
harmony with the sentiment of the
sixteenth century than the conduct of
the mob with the closing years of the
nineteenth. He excuses and encour-
ages violence. When the head of the
church speaks of an offense so serious
as the riot at Savannah anything short
of the sternest, most unequivocal con-
demnation of it it will be encourage
ment. He puts Christianity to shame
before the world. He claims to repre-
sent the largest body of Christians in
the world, and yet has only soft words
for men who would have murdered if
they had not been restrained by bayo-
nets. The cardinal does not represent
Christianity. He is speaking for a syS-
tenn that cannot bear the light, and he
would encourage the suppression of
truth though that require the silencing
forever of the clearest voices that have
ever rung out on this Western world"

COSTA RIGA LOVES PEACE.
Not Inclined to Monkey with
Other People.

WASHINGTON, April 7-Joaquin
BerlasGo Calvo, charge d'affaires of
Costa Rica, said in an interview to-
night:
Il observe that in some recent publi-
cations of the press, referring to Gen.
Maceo, 1t is stated that an expedition
started out from Costa Rica; and, al
though the perfect fealty of the gov
ernment of the republic appears from
those publications, L deem it proper to
state in the most emphatic manner
that no expedition has left Costa Rica:
nor could any leave, because the gov
ernment maintains an active vigilance
and knows how to act most energeti-
cally to prevent the abuse of it's terri
tory as against any other country.
This was demonstrated a short time
ago by the prompt putting down of the
expedition of the deceased Catarino
Cara against BocaS del Toro. a fact
well substantiated in a note of Mr.
Baker, minister of the United States
to Costa Rica, which has been pub
lished. According to dispatches, Maceo
left Limon, Costa Rica, as a passenger
on one of the steamers of the Atlas
company, which are English vessels
that arrive at that port periodically.
Costa Rica is a country distin-
guished for the orderly and industrious
habits of it's people, and for the recti-
tude and discretion of it's government.
To this is due the fact that, notwith-
standing our army is always we'll pre-
pared and has given proof Of its valor.
as when it gained the victory over the
flibusters in 1857, we have never had
a war with any country, and that our
army has not at any time crossed the
borders of it's own territory on the com
mon defense of the dearest interests
of Central America. Costa Rica loves
peace, and wants to be on friendly re-
lations with all nations"

BOTH RAIN AND SNOW.
Nebraska Gets Enough Moisture
for the Most Carping Critic.

OMAHA, Neb., April From all
parts of the state messages have been
received telling of heavy rains and
snow, and the consequent happiness
of the farmers and business men,
especially in the drought-stricken re-
gion of last year, in which the rain
has been the most abundant. From
Nuckols county west, in the vast area
covered by the counties of Adams,
Webster, Franklin, Kearney, Harlan,
Buffalo, Dawson, Phelps, Frontier,
Red Willow, Lincoln, Hayes, Hitch
cock, Chase, Perkins and Keith, in
fact, across the state to the northern
boundary, the precipitation has been
sufficient to satisfy the most carping
critic. Where Encouragement sat en-
throned a week ago hope has returned
and driven out evil forebodings, re-
placing them with some confidence
and trust. But not only has Nebraska
been blessed by the copious showers,
but the dried-up counties along the
Kansas, Colorado. and South Dakota
borders have been wet to an extent
of several inches. In the northwest
ern counties ten inches of snow has
fallen. greatly delaying railway traffic.

CUPICA ARRIVES.
Long Overdue Steamer in Port mt
Astoria.

Long Overdue Steamer in Port at
Astoria
ASTORIA, Or, April THE long
overdue British ship Cupica, from
Liverpool for Astoria, arrived at 1
o'clock this afternoon The docks
were lined with people, and no sooner
had the Cupica dropped anchor than a
score of the captains friends climbed
over the side of the vessel and con-
graduated him on his safe arrival.
Capt. Casson states that the vessel
was delayed by.storms, that drove her
out of her course, and by calms, which
lasted for days at time. In the
vicinity of Cape Horn hundred cases
of tin were jettisoned, and more would
have followed had he not been COM
PEELED to batten down the matches.
TWO sailors were injured by being
thrown against the bulwarks during a
storm. Capt. Casson says, when only
a few days out from Liverpool, he
feared he would never reach his destf-
nation. The arrival of the Cupica has
placed the canneries at some incon-
Venience, as they, with one or two ex-
ceptions, had given up the ship for
lost, and had duplicated their orders
with American tin-plate The Cupica
has 2S,0OO cases of tin on board.

HUNGRY BAD BOYS.
Almost Starved to Death In n
Locked Car

Locked Car.
CHICAGO, April THE spirit of
adventure which prompted four bows
ranging in age from twelve to fourteen
years to run away from their homes in
Toronto, Canada, and come to this
city, nearly resulted in their being
starved to death. The boys left their
homes last Tuesday night, and, secret
ing themselves in a box car, arrived in
this city early this morning. Worn out
with fatigue after their long journey.
and having been without food for the
last two days of their trip, they pre-
sented a sorry spectacle The boys
composing the party We're John Rior-
dan, John Tobin, John McManus and
Daniel Sheehy. For the past six weeks
they had been planning to come to
Chicago, and their scheme was laid
without the knowledge of their parents
or schoolmates. Just before leaving
Canada, the boys were locked up and
held prisoners until released this morn
ing by railroad officers. The officers
listened to their story and turned them
loose one by one, and in this manner
they became separated. Late this aft
ernoon young Riordan visited the Mad
ison street police station in search of
assistance. After telling his story, he
was given food and shelter What be-
came of the other boys is not known.

of Church.
WICHITA, Kan, April IA horrible
tragedy occurred on the steps of the
Lincoln Street Christian church as the
congregation was walking out after the
services at noon today. On the side
walk in front of the church Walter
Scott fired a bullet into the brain of
his wife, and she fell a corpse. While
the people stood aghast at the terrible
deed, Scott placed the muzzle of the
revolver in his mouth and sent a. bullet
crashing through the roof of his mouth
into his brain and fell dead almost
within reach of the body of his wife. !
AT the sight of the bloody tragedy two
or three women tainted, and much ex-
citement prevailed. Both bodies were
taken to an undertaker's. When Mrs
Scott was shot she was walking out of
the church with her brother. Mr.. and
Mrs. Scott were married about two
years ago. She was seventeen and he
nineteen. They separated about year
ago, she going to her fathers house
and he going to Kansas City Scott
returned to Wichita about a. week ago.
He went to church today, and as he
walked out asked his wife If she would
return to him, and upon her refusal
sent bullet into her brain. Both ara
