 Iany of these recent discoveries have not been presented in the mag azines before, they have not appear ed in the newspapers, thousands of learned men are delving in the land of the Pharaohs, India, Babylonia, Greece and Rome and from their labors modern theories are to be confirmed or refuted. Do you know where the garden Of Eden was? Do YOU know why ancient Greek and Egyptian manuscripts have been found in the possession ofthe Mayas, a race in central America whose language is as old as the Sanserit?

Ar Aged Umbrella Repairer Dies in

 At s o'clock the porter went to the sick mans room and found him ly- ing on the floor, face downward. dead.
 Coroner Cook was summoned yes- terday morning, but finding no traces of violence, said that an in quest was unnecessary.

 The deceased was d German and nothing YVES found on his person to lead to his identification. During his illness he said that his home was at Houston, Tex, where he had a wife, but did not diyulge his name.

\ NEW STATE MAP, P, THE FINEST OF ITS KIND EVER
 ISSUED. A New Railroad, Sectional and Township Map of the State
 of Arkansas.
 

The Wilson & Webb Book and stationery Co.,, of Little Rock, with characteristic enterprise, has issued new railroad, sectional and town ship map of the State of Arkansas which should be in every office, library and school-room in the State. The new map is 5 feet inches by , feet inches, and is elegantly col ored and mounted. It shows the location of every railroad, town ,city and post office in the State and also the ,srailroad connection in adj oin- ing States. It is also climatological hypsometric and geological map of the State as per the U. s. geological survey A map of the Congressional districts showing the counties located in each, is also a valuable feature, but the most interesting feature is comparative map of Ar kansas showing the States relative size as compared with that of Eng land. The township system of pub- lie land surveys is also described and illustrated, which, in view of the law requiring land surveying to be taught in the public schools. make this map almost indispensable to the teacher and pupil. A condensed gazetteer of the counties of the State. tersely exhibiting in each its loca- tion, date of organization, pop ulation at intervals of 10 years, and historical and descriptive sketches, and other information of value to every Arkansan, render this new map an indispensable adjunct to every school-room, office and library in the State.
 After d critical examination of this map we are thoroughly of the opin- ion that our local school directors could not make better investment than by purchasing one of these maps for every school room in the district. This opinion is purely voluntary and unsolicited, and we suggest it solety in the cause of edu- cation. Every Arkansan should know all about Ar kansas, and we know of no quicker or effective manner of acquiring this valuable information than by study ing this new map.
 The Wilson < Webb Co. is also handling the new Wernicke book case, for which they are State agents. This is a sectional book case and is a great improve ment over the old system. This case can be easily put together and taken apart again without remov- ing the books, and the short drop lids also perfectly keep out the dust and otherwise protect the books.
 The Wernicke book case is a valua- ble and fitting ornament forIany office, parlor or library. and those who contemplate making pur- chase of this character would do well to examine the Wernicke book case before placing their order.
 The GRAPHIC several months ago saw the advantages of the Wernicke book case over all others. since which time one has adorned our editorial sanctum, and those inter- ested in this kind of furniture are invited to call and inspect the same.

OLD PUT. OUTCOME.
A Virginia Hunters Torch Taken Away
From Him by q bear.

Some time ago Mr.. Washington Via,
50 years of age, Mr.. Oscar Early. Mr..
Willie James and Mr. Rice Via went
out on hunt These gentlemen live
in the height orhood IT Black Rock
Springs, n country not thickly settled,
and which is the home of "varmints"
of every description in profusion.
They had not been out long when
they started four bears The dogs ran
them all afternoon. and about night
ran one of them into his den in a cliff
of rocks Night coming on, the hunt
ers concluded that they could do moth
ing until morning, so one or two of the
party were detailed to watch the den
while the others went home, intending
to come back next morning and try to
get Mr.. Bruin out During the night
the other three bears came to the den,
1t evidently being their habitation also,
but were frightened off by the camp
fire. These became separated from
the fourth one during the hunt the
dogs following the one already run to
lair.
In the morning the other gentlemen
came back to the den, and with picks
and shovels endeavored to dig down to
his bearship. In the meantime Mr..
Rice Via sent his dog, a valua bio
hound, into the orifice, and in a few
minutes heard "squawk," and the
dog failed to return. This got Mr.. Via
excited and he determined to 60 in
and rescue his dog. The entrance to
the den was long, horizontal PASSAGE
way about two feet high and probably
two feet wide. Mr.. Via prepared a
torch and fastened 1t upon long pole,
which he thrust into the opening be.
fore him, and entered without knife.
gun or other defensive WEAPON. He
had not gone far when the bear seized
the torch and extinguished it Sew
eral times this occurred, but finally
Mr.. Via located him and found his fine
dog in dying condition. He backed
out OF the hole, asked for his gun. and
while some of the others pushed in
the torch Mr.. Via succeeded in shoot.
Ing the bear in the head, killing him
instantly.
Mr.. Via then came out and bis son
went in to bring out the dead bear.
The den was large aperture, proba-
bly, twenty feet square and ten feet
high. and was approached from the
passageway above described by an in.
clined plane. The young man went
through this passage, entered the den
and pulled the bear to the passage.
and then endeavorcd to pull him
through, but found he was unable TO
do so. He lay down on his breast and
grasped the bear and the others can yht
hold OF his feet and brought both m an
