her to 90 on with nelghbor and he
would follow with his own team. While
the group was on the sidewalk
Officer Russell vent to the cart in the

and go home, which the latter declined

Then Bowman says he started for bis rig

ready. As he started the officer followed,
and Fred Bowman appeared, intending
he says, to take jim home, and some
words arose between him and the officer.
Russell called for Dewey and pulled q

lowed. Officer Russell says he fired in

Officer Dewey says he was not aware Of
the mans offense, it any, but saw flee-
ing figure that was wanted and fired to
stop 1t. There has been much com.
ment on the case and many criticlsms

defense of the officer it is seen the party
wanted should have obeyed the authority
OF the officer. The bullet was probed for

probably become cisted in the heshy
part Of the arm, without doing much
damage.

just What's Needed

Exclalms thousands Of people who have
taken Hoods Sarsaparills at this season
of this year, and who have noted the
success of the medicine in giving them
relief from that tired feeling, waning ap-
petite and state OF extreme exhaustion
after the close confinement OF long
winter season, the busy time attendant
upon and large and pressing business
during the spring months and with vaca-
tion time yet some weeks distant. It IS
then that the building.up powers Of
Hoods Ssrsaparilla are fully appreciated.
1t seems perfectly adapted to overcome
that prostration caused by change OF
season, climate or life, and while it tones
and sustains the system, it puriies and
vltalizes the blood.

The Columbia advertised extensively
by distributing balloons, red, white and

certainly there WAS no suggestion in this

the countless things provided for the
wheelmen. Everything has been done
that u,nd could suggest for their CON-
fort and amusement-free baths, free
rides, free sails, fire works, concerts,

Asbury Park may we'll be called the

Got Enough Of Alberta.

Monday party OF four emlRrant
families passed through the city from
Alberta, Northwest Territory, a thous
and miles northwest of here, to- north
eastern Nebraska. One of the party,
who said he had lived twenty-five years
in eastern Nebraska, was going back to
the country where he had never seen an
absolute failure of crops yet. In AL
berta. where he had taken up home
stead and abandoned 1t, the ground was
so wet and swampy that he could raise
little beside barley and that had little
market value there. Wheat frosted,
regularly, when in the milk and invaria-
bly, was failure. The party have been
month on the road, and yet have 400
miles to 20. They followed the Cana
dian Pacific and 500 roads to CARING
ton. Each wagon contained the entn 9
household effects, on top of which rode
the numerous family. The story the
men told of their experiences with the
numerous drawbacks to farming IN tae
much doomed northwest territory, was
sufficient to keep any ons with any
prudence away from that region. They
say there have been thousands OF emf
grants induced to go into that country
OF summer frosts and no markets,
through misleading advertisements, and
now they can't get away if they would

Devils Lake Chautauuua.

DEVILS LAKE, July 13-Up to date
We have had about $50 campers. This
does not include the patrons Of the large
hotel which is filed full from top to
bottom.
Nearly every day now we are having
extra talent on the grounds. Father j.
NJ. Cleary of Minneapolis, has been here,
and delivered two master lectures, one
1.-The passion play Of Oberamergau" and
the other "The Bible" The lectures
were we'll received. J. r. Reitzell, D. D.
of Chicago, is here and has given us
$500 Miles up the Nile.' His lecture
was filed with enough humor to make 1t
intensely interesting. Hon. N. X.
Gr,ggs of Lincoln, Neb., the poet, took
the time last night from 8 to 10 and his
original poems were greatly appreciated
for they were really original, and out OF
the line of stage poetry, and very unique
in their make up.
We now have to put on forenoon
program as we'll as to run double time at
night, in order to make use OF the talent
that Is at our disposal. We expect this
day to be one of the days to be remem-
bered for it is in the hands of the c. L.
s. c. and great preparations are being
carried out to make it a memorable one,
the auditorium is being gaily decorated,
and the day is entirely given up to the
circle; at the close of the day there will
be the camp fire at the beach.
Father Cleary, who attended the meet
ing at the invitation Of the managers,
says of the advantages OF Devils Lake
for Chautauqua proposes: my expert
ence with kindred associations has been
quite extensive, and enables me to form
a fair opinion OF the relative merits OF
the Devils Lake assembly. desire to
state few localities have so many natural
attractions, and that the directors are
intelligent, liberal minded and most
solicltous for the entertainment and In
instruction of their guests. Devils Lake
North Dakota, is surely destined to be-
come most popular resort. The man
agement deserves great credit for the
enterprise and energy manifested in
establishing this Chsutauqua assembly
on firm foundation. b.

IT WINS ITS FIRST FIGHT AGAINST THE PINE BLUFF WATER AND
 LIGHT LIGHT COMPANY AssMy.
Judge William Removes the Foreign Receiver and Names Pine Bluff Man for the
 Position.

The people of Pine Bluff feel some what jubilant today, because of the victory obtained by the city in the Federal Court over the Pine Bluff Water X Light Company. A tele- phone message from Mayor Goiea- smith, who is now in Little Rock, announced the fact that Judge John A. Williams had removed Receiver Clifford, as prayed for by the city, and had named iM;. M;- ha. M " Cunning ham of this city, as one of the CO Receivers of the plant. The name of the other Receiver who will act in conjunction with Mir. Cunningham, has not yet been announced by the court. Mr. Cunningham bond was p aced at $l0, 900 which he can readily give, and he will assume his duties as Receiver just as soon as he can qualify.
 Our people believe that with Re ceiver in charge of the Water X Light plant, who lives here, and is identified with their interests, that they will be given Q better service in both water and light, which will no doubt prove true; at any rate, the service eau not be wol SC than it has been for months past.
 MT. Cunningham, one of the new receivers, was formerly Chief En- gineer of the Water x Light Com pany. He is said to be Q practical and intelligent gentleman, who thoroughly understands his busi- ness, and from him we osa expect. the very best possible service.

HIGH WATER MARK.
Never Before Has the Arkansas River Been So High at This Time of
 the Year.

Higher and higher rolls the water in the Arkansas River, and at this point it has reached the highest notch ever known in December. The water continues to back up through the old lake bed and has inundated all the low land in the east and south ern portions of the city, which has caused no little annoyance and dis comfort to residents and property
 owners in those vicinities. The
 amount of drift, timber, fencing, etc, which has fioated by this city is enormous.
 At Little Rock yesterday afternoon the danger mark-23 feet-was reached, and 0Asesrer Clarke says that the water will go at least thre. tenths higher before It mes to i
 stand. At this point the water i steadily rising.

designed and made expressly for this production. The senic pictures are extraordinarily elaborate and beautiful, and the costumes are the richest imaginable. Sixty people are in the company, which is headed by the always charming Corinne, who was never as attractive or as accomplished as now. The favorite little artist has new songs, new dances and new graees innnmerable.
 A multitude of beautiful girls in a variety of handsome and striking costumes attend the action of the viyacious plot.
 There need be no fears that Mrs. Kimball does not appreciate the value of feminine chari1is in stage presentations, or that she does not thoroughly understand the art of displaying her materials most effectively. The organization con sists of well known artists and con tains a number of clever speciality performers, the most prominent of which are Ben. F. Grinnell, Charles F'ostelle, Lindsey Morrison, Barney McDonough, J. Henry Mack, Frank Hayden, Otto Craft, the Nichols Sisters, Mabel and Lula, Lillian Knott, Fanny DaCosta, and Georgia Rush. The chorus numbers thirty six. and a number of high class specialties and novelties are inter spersed. Some Of the scenes are .said to be of the most gorgeous descrip- ton. Notwithstanding the enor-
 nous expense, the same prices that governed the New York, Boston
 and Chicago engagements will pre- vail.

To Bo Seen at the Pine Bluff Opera House During the Holi-

The management of the Pine Bluff Opera-house announces two ex- traordinary dramatic attractions for the Christmas holidays of an entirely different character, which varies the program for the week. Another welcome piece of news in this con nection, which will be hailed with delight 6y Pine Bluff theater-goers, is that there will be no advance in the prices of admission, which is outside of the ordinary, and which comes as a aconcession to the manage ment of the Pine Bluff Opera-house after hard tussel for the regular prices with the management of these two superb companies.
 Another gratifying fact in con- nection with the coming of Creston Clarke and the peerless Corinne is that they will appear here during the holidays and will be the leading events in amusement circles during the happy duration of holiday week. The former will appear at the Opera-house on Saturday night, Dec. 2Sth in Hamlet" while the peerless Corinne and the Kimball Opera Company will give two per orInances-matinee and night,-on Monday Dec. 30th.

 self as a child. She dances every thing, ;igs harnaiaes Spanish.
 dances, Oriental advertisements, all
 with perfect grace and rymth. This
 season there is m especial verve and
 audacity in her dancing-somethin
 of the spirit of the Far Eastern
 dancers, but with no possibility of giving offense. Corinne has evident ly studied them all, and found the secret of their charm. The jolly lit- tie comedienne is as eager to begin as the audience is to see her, and she is animated and happy from start to finish. Every thing about her is calculated to inspire her to do her best. The extravaganza itself is eleverly constructed and brightly written, the music is brisk and melo- dious, the scenery new, beautiful and elaborate, and the big supporting company is company to be proud of. Aside from Corinne's own per formance, there is a wealth of attrac- tions in 'Hendriek Hudson, Jr., Sur passing in ingenuity, beauty and ef- fectiveness anything of the sort heretofore shown in sage spectacle.
 Every costume and all of the seen ery for this great nradnetian were expressly made for this season. All is new and bright. The scenery and effects are carried in special ears in such a manner as to reduce to the smallest possible chance the danger of wear and tear in transportation l ttHendrick Hudson, Jr.,' will be seen here in all of it's beauty and mag nificence.
 If the Pine Bluff people appreciate | excellent and high-class attractions they will have ample opportunity to | gratify their tastes in the above two | engagements, and if they want first class companies toeome to this city, they should turn out and patronize them when they come here.

 THE THREE WAYS.
 Communicated )

i Early one misty morning
 started for walk. I believe I was
 in gloomy mood, caused doubt
 lessly by the weather; at any rate. l
 felt that l could for once dispense with companion. As I was stroll ing leisurely along, I perceived ahead of me a road 1 had never seen before, and resolved to follow it, wondering dimly where it would lead me. After proceeding about a mile, now gathering flower or n pebble by the wayside, I reached q point where the road forked in three direc- tions, and l could not decide which way to go. Seeing large stone near by, I seated myself upon it un- til should decide. Before I knew it had drifted into the following reyery: Suppose, said I to myself,
 tthis road 1 have just been travel ing was the road of Life, and that l have now arrived at that part where I must choose my future course. This road on my right is Duty. that on my left is Love, and that stretch ing straight before me is Ambition: now which shall I take?"
 unused thus for some time then starting up l took the center road, and with firm step hurried on. The way, however, led up hill, and was rough and stony with great difficulty clambered along, often losing my foothold; and when at length I did gain an even tract, my progress was stopped by a steep precipice and l could venture no further. Smiling to myself at my own folly said, CT will go back and try the road of Love, for that at least is easy" Alas for human trust. l was speedily undeeeived, what in the distance had appeared green and cool and inviting proved upon nearer acquaintance to be strewn with marches and treacherous pitfalls. 1 was often forced to pick my way and had not gone far, when to my horror the same ehasm yawned at my feet and again was compelled to stop.
 "The way has been long and hard, and l am very, very weary, but l will, must try the third road, l muttered, and retraced my steps only to meet with disappointment. The path of Duty, though straight and narrow, ended with the same ob- noxious ehasm.
 There a light seemed to break upon me and l murmured: "How like death is this yawning gulf which cruelty checks not only am bition but love and duty as well. The road of life in whichever man. ner we pursue it, leads only to death at last; unless we look away from it, unless we look up toward the shad- owy eternity remembering that no abyss, however wide and deep, can separate man from the love of his Maker.
