Arkansas Robbers.

Little Rock, Ark, Feb. 2s-A special
to the Gazette from Warren, Ark, says;
A daring but unsuccessful attempt
was made to rob the Merchants and
Planters bank of this place to-day.
About half-past o'clock three men en-
tered the bank, and two of them walked
around behind the enclosure, where Mr..
Adair, the cashier was seated, in con
versation with T. NJ. Goodwin and D. NJ.
Sutton. Thir first salutation was, "Hold
up your hands"
Mr.. Adair sprang for his pistol, when
the men commenced shooting and Mr..
Goodwin received what is thought to be
a mortal wound and Mr. Adair was shot
through the shoulder. He returned the
fire and evidently wounded one of the
men, as when he rode off he was seen to
be bleeding. The firing of the pistols
startled the citizens, who came running
from all directions, and the robbers were
forced to retire without accomplishing
their object. AS they rode out of town
they kept up a fusilade of shots and
went out northwest of town. The plans
were well laid, and no doubt the bank
would have been looted but for the
promPtness of Mr.. Adair with his pistol.
Several citizens had narrow escapes
from the flying bullets, and the interior
of the bank is perforated with bullet
holes

Burned TO Death.

New York, Feb. 23.-Lillian Cecilia
Lyons, the I4-year-oId daughter OF
Daniel Lyons of Brooklyn, was burned
to death in her bedroom. The fire
started through the accidental explosion
of an oil stove, which had been used to
heat the room. Lillian, who was an
epileptic, was in bed at the time. She
was unable to move without assistance.
The bed-clothes quickly became ignited,
and the girl was enveloPed in flames be-
fore she could be rescued. Her screams
attracted the attention of neighbors, who
succeeded in getting her from the burn
ing room. Before a physician arrived
the girl died in horrible agony.

Washington, Feb. 2s.-Miss Elizabeth
Flagler, daughter of Gen. Flagler, chief
of ordinance, U. s. A., who last spring
shot a colored boy named Green, plead
ed guilty to involuntary manslaughter
to day and was sentenced to three hours
in Jail and to pay fine of $500.
The proceedings were the result of an
agreement between District Attorney
Birney and Miss Flaglers:lawyer's. An
effort was made to keep the trial from
the knowledge Of the public, and for
that purpose Judge Cox called court half
an hour before the usual time.
The District Attorney said this was
one of those unfortunate accidents
which does not call for anything but the
lightest penalty in the power of the
court, and Judge Cox declared the SEN
tence without making any comments.
Miss Flagler was driven to the Jail in
her fathers carriage, and was received
by the warden with great courtesy. She
passed the three hours in the matron's
receiving room in the company of Gen.
Flagler and an aunt Mrs. Winthrop, and
was then driven to her home.

SHOT HIM DEAD.
POked Craig In the Ribs with a Guu
to Wake Him.

Boise, Ida, Feb. IA special from
De Lamar says: A man named Keller
was shot and killed by Charles Craig
Saturday night at Rhckville, about
thirty miles south of Caldwell, on the
Jordan stage road. Craig and Keller
had not been on good terms. The lat
ter bore bad reputation and had been
in several difficulties. Saturday Keller
was out hunting. He reached Craig's
camp after the latter had gone to bed.
Keller poked Craig in the ribs with a
gun to awaken him, When Craig
awoke and saw his enemy standing over
him he grabbed his six shooter and shot
his enemy dead.
Craig has always borne good reputa-
ton. 1t is supposed that Keller simply
wished to stop for the night, but Craig
naturally thought he had come to kill
him, hence the shooting.

$4,000 on "A Brick.

San Francisco, Feb. IS. A well. dress
ed man, 10 years of age, who is known
by the names of Edward Thompson,
Charles Gordon and Addison Mills, is
under arrest in this city on charge of
of giving two worthless gold bricks to
NJ. g. Richie, Napa county vineyard
list, as security for a loan of $4,000
Mills paved the wav to the loan by tell
ing a fairy story of the fabulous fortune
that could be obtained by developing a
rich mine discovered by an Indian. He
was assisted by versatile confederate,
who posed first as an Indian prospector
and later as an assayer from the Phila-
delphia mint. The two gold bricks fur
nished by the Indians were later exam
ined by the same man in his capacity as
an assayer and declared to be worth
S22, 900. On the strength OF the sup
posed assay Richie gave Mills $1,000
in gold and received the worthless gold
bricks as security.

SILVER MAKES A BIG JUMP,
Bullion Sells in New York for
70 Cents.
The Demand Has Been Steadily
Growing. and the supply diminish
ing, Until Now There is Shortage
Shrewd Men Have Been Aceumulat-
Mine stocks Expected.

New York, Feb. 24.-Silver bullion
sold at the highest price today that it
has reached in many months. There
was an apparently good consol demand
which advanced the rate to 10 cents.
The rise was sharp and in sympathy
with an upward movement in London.
Zimmerman & Forshay and Handy s.
Hartman, bullion dealers, and Edward
Bush of the Kansas City Smelling and
Refining company, declared that they
did not know of any definite reason for
the Improvement. They did not agree
that the advance was due to speculation
or that it would be sustained.
The facts are that silver sold as low
as 50 cents, and the price ranged about
90 cents for six months. There was, by
reason of adverse legislation, material
curtailment of production. Shrewd
people who knew the commercial value
of silver began cautiously buying and
accommodating bullion. A large amount
has been absorbed for export, a legiti-
mate continental demand having pre-
vailed for a long time. The supply has
also been reduced by the demand for
manufacturing purposes. For ten months
the price was auctuating about 81 cents,
and yesterday 70 cents was the quota
tons. The advance has taken so long
as to escape general attention. Stimuli
taneously with the advance came a de-
IL Id -
which Is regarded as significant of re-
vival of interest in silver mines and
brighter prospects. Seventy
silver means much to the great industry
and would undoubtedly produce another
silver boom.
Exchange on India has been keeping
pace with the strong tone of the silver
market, and in London yesterday was at
the top notch. At the same time pro-
duction has not kept pace with the de-
mani, the miners having turned their
attention to gold-digging.
New York, Feb. 24.-On the stock
exchanges to day silver certificates ad-
vanced to TO on transactions Of $4,000
The highest previous price within the
past few months was 691s, October 10,
1895. Authorities on silver say the rise
is in no sense due to speculation. Ex-
change on India at London is now at
the highest point after a steady advance
for the past thirty days. The largely
decreased production of the white metal
has naturally depleted the supplies on
hand, while low prices have tended to
increase the demand for use in the arts
London is now large bidder for silve
in this market, but finds the metal scarce
Large sales of silver were reported
BY bullion brokers, one transaction being
for the sale of 100000 Mexican dollars to
London. One of the oldest bullion
houses in the street stated this after
noon that heavy transactions tor thirty,
sixty and ninety days were made today,
md business in future transactions the
asst three weeks has been the heaviest
noted by the firm during its existence.

BOUND TO GET RID OF III.
Failing to Buy a Paper, Citizens Burn
the Plant.

Mitchell, S. D., Feb. 24.-The entire
outfit of the Mitchell Mail, paper, presses,
type, etc, was taken into the street this
morning and publicly burned by an
orderly and well-behaved body of bust
ness men. The editor of the paper,
Robert Mcbride, has for long time
been attacking various public institu-
tions and prominent people, notably the
late John D. Lawler, president of the
First National bank. Several years ago
Mcbride married Mr.. LAWYERS sister-in-
law. the wealthy daughter of General
Sturgis, U. s. A After few years
Mrs. Mcbride secured divorce, and Nc
Bride then began his attacks upon the
business and personal character of Mr..
Lawler.
Much indignation was aroused, and
Saturday night citizens met Mcbride
and offered to buy out his plant if he
would &C elsewhere. He agreed, but
later decided to withdraw from the bar
gain. The citizens thereupon appointed
one of their number to act as agent for
Mcbride, and then paid the money
agreed upon and tuck the property out
and destroyed it, as stated. The COM
mittee is now looking for Mcbride, and
will suggest that he move elsewhere.

only at times, when the roar of their
workings can be heard for twenty miles.

NA7oCAe
Learned just as Spelling Is.
1.-The Passion of Money Getting" is the
topic Of DR.. Charles H. Parkhurst's paper
in The Ladies Home Journal. In discuss.
ing one phase of his theme he says:
A man cannot be trusted to do right In
this the art of giving or in any other
particular till he can do right easily-that
Is to say, until 1t has become his habit to
do right. Giving cannot be left to impulse
any more than spelling can be left to i'm
pulse We have seen what might be called
impulsive spoilers, and they make just the
same wretched work with photography
that impulse giving makes with charity.
Nor is the purpose subserYed by putting
into the child's hands as a gratuity the
money that he is expected to bestow as a
benefcence. Merely, letting money go
through his hands will not make him
charitable any more than letting water
slip through lead pipe will make the
lead fertile. The act that is going to
strengthen the little boy giver or the little
girl giver in the direction of a matured
generous disposition must be an act in
which tho actor feels that he is parting
with something that is his own, not some-
thing which he is merely handling in the
thing, il there is a, beggar at the door to
whom q pittanoe is to be given, or gath
ering in the church or the Sunday school
where the contribution box is to be passed,
for the child to obtain from it's father or
mother the requisite penny, and then for
the child and parent both to imagine that
the child was somehow involved in and
disciplined by the penny's conferment.
The child in the Sunday school does not
learn to give In that way any more than
the child in the spelling class learns to
spell by the bare mimicry of the letters
that the teacher herself puts into the
child's mouth.
We learn to spell by making the spelling
our act. We learn to give by making the
giving act our act. 1t is hoped that this
truism will touch vibrating chord in the
intelligences and hearts of parents. The
world is full of moneyed men; but, really
great as is the amount bestowed in bene-
faction, it sustains very feeble ratio to
the amount that men and women bestow
on themselves, and it is not because these
people are Intentionally sordid and have
no blood in their hearts, but because years
ago, when they were children, their par
ents imagined that while schooling would
be necessary in order to qualify their off
spring to read and WRITE no schooling in
particular would be necessary in order to
educate them into the far more difficult
capability of parting with their own pos
sessions in the interests of and for the bet
tering of others, safeguarding the lesser,
trusting to chance for the greater.
