from the scene OF the Cretan revolu-
tion aginst Turkey, by the editor OF
the Greek newspaper Atlantis, shows
that the Turkish troops are return
ing to atrocities which equal in
point Of bloodiness their terrible
barbarities in the Armenian war
According to these advices the
Cretau revolutionists, who now num-
ber about 5000 men, all well
equipped, are daily gaining in
strength, and, with the aid they are
receiving from Greece, the prob
abilities are that the Cretans will be
successful in gaining independence.

When we read the account of Per-

in another column, we feel imbued
with the idea that we, in Mr.. Dole's

grateful for. Persia's malcontents
evidently fare worse that Mr.. Dole's
alleged opponents, and they haven't
even chance TO present claim for

Marshal Brown showed his good
sense in entering a nolle prosequi in
the cases against Capt. Parker of
the Kaena who on tho evening Of
the Fourth of July was arrested on
come trivial charges. The Marshal
in explaining his reason for asking
the Court to grant nolle pros. ad-
mitted that the arresting officer had
lacked discretion and had exercised
his authority unduly. 1t is pleasing
to notice that the Marshal, in times
OF peace exercises common sense,
and as far as he is concerned no
charge Of "want of tact" can be
advanced.

The mounted police gave the
good residents OF Makiki genuine
scare this morning. Captain Renken
had his men out for an early drill
and ordered several volleys to be
fired to accustom the horses to the
noise Of the firearms. A rumor re-
lating to another revolution" was
circulated freely last night, and the
discharge of firearms gave the occa-
sion for a general stampede among
the lightly. clad inhabitants of the
suburb. No damage was done and
nothing OF compromising nature
was developed. The residents of
Makiki object, however, to repeti-
tion of the new method OF awaken
ing them. Makiki is very peaceful
indeed.

PRESIDENT LLOYD.
One of Pine Bluffs Crack Marksmer at the Head of the State
 Association.

The Arkansas Association of Gun clubs which met recently at Hot Springs honored itself and Pine Bluff by the selection of MT. J. T.. Lloyd as it's President for the ensu- ing year. When seen by GRAPHIC reporter this afternoon MT. Lloyd stated that the Hot Springs meet ing was very interesting but the attendance small. That is due pro- bably to the manner of distributing prizes heretofore in vogue. The association has adopted now what is known as the equitable system of distribution by which the winner IS paid according to the number of birds he breaks. The State shoot will take place in Pine Bluff next year at some time to be agreed upon hereafter. There will be local shoot this afternoon at the park.

ST. LOUIS, June 23.-After recess the silver. con yentien reassembled at 4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
 A motion was made and carried to admit Populists to the hall with out admission tickets.
 The committee on rules and cre- dentials submitted their reports, which were adopted.
 The committee on permanent or ganization reported W. P. St. John, of New York, for temporary chairman, and he was escorted to the chair amid much enthusiasm.
 After the conclusion of Mir. St. Johns speech a motion was made to appoint a committee to confer with the Populists, which evoked much excitement and discussion, but was finally carried
 The roll of States was then called and a member appointed from each delegation.
 The convention was then ad- dressed by Judge Sheldon, of Con- necticut, Congressman Towne, of Minnesota, Hon. R. A. Cole, of Wis consin.

HIGH SCHOOL, PINE BLUFF.

vance four and one. half months and at the same time allows him to drop back four and one-half months in- stead of nine. One.half days ses- sions for all of the first and second grade pupils have been inaugurated for the coming session. A special feature of last years terms were the lectures in the High School. Twenty three of these were given by some of the most distinguished speakers in the country. This has a tendency to give a moral tone to the pupils. Special attention is in fact given to character building. It may truly be said that the schools of Pine Bluff never have been in 8 more prosperous or thriving condi- tion.
 The schools are looked after by a Board, consisting of six members, elected by the city at large, two every year. These gentlemen are wide-awake citizens who devote a great deal of attention to the work ings of the schools.
 The people of Pine Bluff take great pride in the public schools and do every thing to advance pop ular education. They recognize that the common schools are the hope of the country, and that the education of the children of all classes is the only salvation for Q republic like

DON'T PLAY IN MY YARD.
Rows and Fights Galore Attended to
 in the Police Court.

Our city forum is frequently the scene of amusing incidents. It is the most thriving business institu- tion in the county. The amazing rapidity with which the dollars drop into the till maketh glad the hearts of the police and chief thereof. Nor is the populaee slow in rejoicing. This morning there were many offenders before acting Judge Vance.
 The minor cases were soon dispos- ed of
 Then came the case of the City vs. one Smith. A formidable array of witnesses had gathered to testify in regard to q 'spute concerning of dog.
 It seems that Mr. Smith-of a chocolate hue-and Mrs. Johnson of the same tint, were near neigh bars. Smith threatened Johnson s dog and there the trouble began.
 Smith denied everything and then Mrs. Smith took the stand. With the manner and mein of Egypt's dusky queen she told the story of her woes.
 ''Tell all you know" said the Judge.
 "He said he gwine to hit my dog, en tole him he mustn't meddle in my yard, en he say he warn't talk ing to me, en I say warn't talking to him. I were talking to cousin, en he mustn't meddle in my yard.
 "Is that all?"
 "Yeas sir.
 sHow did he disturb your peaceY'
 "Oh, he cut my conversation of.
 The court thought that was not enough to constitute a disturbance of the peace.
 Irene Ellis was next tried for fighting. She and Percy Harvill had it out in the laundry yesterday.
 Percy called her ''outen her name, and she lowed he was some thing awful and he hit her on the head with a poker.
 Irene had money, paid her fine. Percy made his escape but was cap- tured lasts night py Deputy Con- stable Creed Taylor. He will be tried today.

THERE ARE OTHERS.
Claude Bruce, Accused of Many Crimes, Has Others Hanging
 Over Him.

Yesterday Claude Bruce was arrested and placed in the city prison. Query: Whats the matter with Claude? At first it was discovered that he was drunk and disorderly, then being pugi- listiely inclined he "scrapped;" finally he beat and drove a horse until 1t nearly died of pain and fatigue. For these offences he was run in. Chief Stewart told him the cause of his im- prisonment.
 Is that all, D asked the prisoner.
 "Oh, there are others" said the ire pressible Chief.
 Bruce asked that he be allowed to remove his shoe. When he had done so it was seen tbat one of his toes was almost severed from his foot. He said he broke it on the bed, but an ax did the work. He claims to be from Helena, Montana, and he will be held on a more serious charge if he is the man the police are looking for.

SUFFERING FROM DROIITH.
Weekly Cotton Letter of s. c.
 Alexander & Go.

PINE BLUFF, ARK, July B, 1896.
 Conference.-The weather eontin- ues hot and dry, and in parts of the State it has become serious mat ter. With the exception of few local showers, middle and Southern Arkansas have had no rain this month, and in the Southeastern part of the State it is still worse. We sent our representative through this district this week. He reports the corn crop ruined and cotton dying in many places. The early planting-from March 25th to April 15th-is standing the drought fairly we'll and has some fruit, but the late planting will make nothing unless we have rain very soon. To give 8 better idea of the condition of this dry district, we will name the coun- ties and give date of the last gener- al rain that fell in them: Drew, Ashley, Desha, Chicot and Bradley counties, last rain April 18th; Lin coin, Cleveland and Calhoun have had occasional showers and are not suffering so much. The forest trees are dying in the Monticello district, which is evidence of unusually hot and dry weather.
 A general rain throughout the State would be great blessing. The temperature has been in the neighborhood of 100 deg. for two weeks.
 Yours Respectfully,

Constable J. H. Pilkington Comes Near Losing his Life at tho
 Hands of a Felon.

Some time ago, in Washington township, John Meyers burglarized the house of Vim. Young, taking coat, vest, shoes and all other port able articles that he could get bis hands on. The officers have been after him ever since. This morn ing about o'clock he was captured by MT. Pilkington near Redfeld. Meyers went into house and re- fused to surrender. When aid was sought to effect his capture the fel- on drew his gun aud opened fire. One of the bullets grazed the constables side, passing through his vest, which was unbuttoned. Meyers was finally captured and hand-cuffed. He was placed in jail here by Mr. Pilkington this morn ing.

We have seven schools, four white and three eolored, with a corps of thirty three teachers including the superintendent and substitute teachers. Three of the buildings are of brick and four of frame. The course of study covers a period of eleven years, seven in the primary and grammar departments and four in the High School. The High School course is the most extensive in the State and beyond question of a doubt the high School of this city is doing better than any in Arkan- sas. The textbooks used on Physics is the same used by the University of Pennsylvania. There are two courses, viz, classical and scientific. The classical course embraces:
 Four years in Latin
 Four years in English.
 Four years in mathematics.
 Two years in science.
 Two years iu Greek.
 The scientific course is the same with the exception of Latin and Greek, in their place, the sciences are taken. The course of study in tbe grammar department embraces reading, spelling, geography, gram mar, arithmetic, penmanship and United States history. The pri- mary embraces reading, spelling and writing, numbers, language, etc.
 Since the present superintendent has taken charge he has inaugur- ated number of changes which have greatly benefited the schools. Among these we mention the strengthening of discipline. The fire drill has been introduced in all the schools. This is indeed novel feature. During visit of the school officials during the recent term the efficiency of the system was demonstrated from the fact that the school was emptied in a minute and half, the children having all their books and other property with them, and were drawn up in a line in front of the school. Nearly all of the private schools have been ab- sor6ed. Mid-yea promotions have been provided for during the coming session. This is an excellent fea- ture as it enables the student to ad-

STRUCK IT RICH.
The Thalheimer Mine Near Little Rock Has Lots of Gold
 Tn It.

The report was circulated in Little Rock yesterday that the Walheimer mines near that city was going to turn out gold in pay ing quanties. The property is sometimes known as the Thal- heimer-Rottaken mine and the Thalheimers of this city are to an extent interested in the result. Work was begun in January. Up to the present time very little en- couragement was to be had. Yesterday at 5 o'clock p. m. the find was made. Col. H. H. Rot taken who seems to be the lead ing spirit in the enterprise and some other members went immed- lately to the spot and so no ex- pression from any of these gentle men could be obtained. MT. Thalheimer of this city was seen by GRAPHIC reporter, but stated that he had nothing to say. A telephone message had been re- ceived by him this morning, but as to the extent of the vein or its value he could not now make a positive assertion.
 The owners are to be congrat- ulated upon their merited good fortune.

IL is not saying too much to claim that no city in the country of equal size has better schools. The build lnngs, apparatus, the teachers-all these fill the full measure of what it takes to have excellent schools, and generations yet to come will these schools bless. The success of the public schools of this city is due to the Judicious management of the Board of Education and for the past year to the capable and efficient su- perlntendent so wisely chosen by this board and the hearty co-opera- tion of the teachers with him.
