Clifford receiver of the Pine Bluff Water, Gas ann Electric Light Company, be cited to appear in court and show cause why he should not be removed as such receiver.

:BOYCOTTING CLAYTON.
HIGH RATES ON HIS RAILROAD ARE
 CAUSING A RUMPuS.
Enrelsa Springs Merchants Have signed an Iron-Ciad Agreement Not to
 Patroni2e It.

The trouble which has been brew ing for many years between Powell Clayton's Eureka Springs railroad and the patrons of the road IS becom- ing quite serious. The row is about the high rates in force. While three cents a mile for passenger service IS the general esarge in Western States, says the Arkansas Democrat, the Eureka Springs road charges ten and it's freight rates are as high in propor- tion. Twenty eight merchants Of Eureka Springs have signed an iron clad agreement that they will in no way patronize the road unless Gen. Clayton chops his rates little. They have inaugurated system Of wagon transportation which runs from Eureka Springs to .Sei@fnan, about twenty miles.
 The boycott has been on for sew eral months, bntit has just began to grow in importance. The rates must be considered very exhorhit itaDt when sucn move as this is inaugu- rated. as the road from Seligman to Eureka Springs is one of the rough est anywhere and the wear and fear will run pretty high.
 The Missouri Railway Commissions CTS lately took a fall odt with this road. claiming jurisdiction because tickets are sold in Seligman, and now the interstate commerce com mission is considering the case, but SO far nothing has been accom- plished.

Fulton had a daughter by her Est husband, and her name was flil Lytton.

Ity that captivated everyone |th whom she came in contact,
 The young lady became an actress, a in the course of time met J. K. hmet. the actor. He became atuated with her beauty and srried her.

NEWSPAPERS NO GOOD
so SAYS A PINE BLUFF MFR.
 CHANT.
He Don't Like ,Em Because They Carry the Advertisements of Competitors
 in Business.

On yesterday q representative of the GRAPHIC called on a prominent Pine Bluff merchant and solicited an advertisement for this paper.
 "It don't pay me to advertise, : said the merchant. My customers don't read the newspapers, and what is more. don't want them to-
 This latter announcement was in the nature of a surprise to the re, porter, and when he recovered suffi- ciently to regain his composure, he inquired: Why don't you want your customers to read the Pine Bluff papers? Are not the newspa- pei-s published in the interest of the town and is not every citizen aided, indirectly, at least, by such publica- tiohs?' ?'
 Personally, would be better of if there was not newspaper pub- lished in Pine Bluff was the next surprising reply.
 At this ejaculation the reporter fell over in q dead faint, and after an application of restoratives. he braced up and asked the reason 'whye"
 "WeH," the merchant aforesaid went on to explain, ''every issue of your paper contains a flaming ad- vertisement of bargains and special clearing sales, etc, for Blum's Dry Goods Emporium, the New York Racket Store. Isaac Dreyfus and other merchants, and if one of these papers falls into the hands of my GUS toners they are likely to go there to buy goods instead of coming tu me. If I were to follow my personal inter- ests 1 would burn every one of your papers could get my hands on. But I don't. l simply carry the paper home and read it. and that is the end of it. See?''
 "But, said the GRAPHIC solicitor, wouldn't it be better for you to meet your competitors in an open field. advertise your goods and hustle for customers like the rest of them?'
 No" was the prompt response, q am not selling goods for nothing, and I don't intend to. and so say ing he left to wait on customer.
 The GRAPHIC man beat q hasty re- treat. meditating as he departed upon the value of advertising to the general public From this it is obvi- GUS that the publiccan always secure the best bargains by patronizing those who advertise what they have to sell and who are not afraid to place their prices before the world.
 It is the man who adyertises that has the bargains.
 Moral: Patronize those who ad- yertise.

1 decided upon. Within five days the company would appear tuere and Mrs. EmmetwouN reiofn her husband then. Another member of the com pany took Mrs Einmet's part in the play and she left for Galveston.
 "she was to stop at the Beach Hotel. and upon leaving. Emmet gave her $4.700 which he had saved during the present season. thinking it would be safer with her than him, travelling and playing many one-night stands. In addition to this cash, every cent her husband had. she asked to wear an exceed ingly handsome diamond which he owned and the request was granted by the trusting husband.
 "Emmet heard nothing from her within the first five days, ill the meantime finishing up the engage ments outside of Galveston. The company reached Galveston on Sun day and Nr. Emmet went at once to the Beach Hotel and inquired for his wife. No such person as Mrs. J.. K. Emmet had registered. He then visited all other hotels and was almost crazed with grief at the terrible disappointment and the horrible suspicion that began to come over him. A suggestion of falsity had never before entered his mind.
 sEmmet hurried to the theater, believing he would find there some communication from his wife. In that he was not disappointed. A brief note was waiting him, telling him that when he received it she would be in Los Angeles, Cal, with man for whom alone she had love- The man with whom she had De- come fascinated was last year q member of Emmet's company and is now playing a leading part in some inferior attraction. The woman took all the money with which her husband had furnished her and left him without a penny to show for the present seasons business.
 '.Emmet has not yet scared divorce. but it is understood that he will do so as soon as the law will permit it. It is well known among those who are familiar with Fritz Emmet that he had not until his recent trouble touched drink for many months. So soon as he reached Galveston and learned the truth he resorted to whisky for for getfulness and when he was here he was indulging very freely"

The matter in which, during 1894, it

Not so HARD AS 1T SEEMS.

NOT So I1ARD AS IL EEEMS.
The idea of being able to invent
something strikes most people as
being very difficult; this delusion
the Company wishes to dispel. 1t
is the simple things and small in
ventions that make the greatest
amount of money, and the complex
ones are seldom profitable. al
most everybody, at some time OF
another, conceives all idea, which,
if patented, would probably be
worth TO him a fortune. Unfortu-
nately such ideas are usually dis
missed without thought. The-sim-
pie inventions like the car ,,.,H
which could be easily slid y sid
down without breaking the .s
senger's back, the sauce pa IL
collar button, the nut loc .aa
bottle stopper, the snow sao,9
are things that almost everyone
sees some way of improving upon,
and it is these kind of inventions
that bring the greatest returns to
the author.
The prize we offer will be paid
at the end of each month, whether
the application has been acted
upon by the Patent Office or not.

patent on his invention through
