The stock of A. Blum, recently closed by attachment. will be sold at public auction at noon tomorrow tThnrsday), at it's present stand, at the corner of Second avenue and Pine street.
 It is understood that there will be q number of bidders for the stock, and it therefore promises to bring n fair price. Mir. Leo.

Several of the local dry goods dealers are also figuring on it..

The price of admission for the GRApHIc's next bicycle races. on Tuesday, September 29th, has been advanced to B cents for adults and 20 cents for children under F years of age. Children under } years of age, when accompanied by their parents, will be admitted free. The reason for this advance in the price of admission is due to the proses sional races, for which CASH prizes aggregating $4S must be paid. Pro- fessional prizes must be paid i'll cash, and in order to meet this require
 ment it was found necessary to make a slight advance in the price of admission to cover the cost of the same. There has been great de- mand by lovers of the sport for pro- fessional races, and these races will be the first professional races ever witnessed in Pine Bluff. In getting up these professional events at an expense of $4S over the GRApHIC's former races, the GRAPHIC has been actuated solely by a desire to accom- modate the public, and it is serious ly doubted if the advance of 10 cents for admission will be sufficient to cover the cost of the two profes- sional events. These will be the last races this season.

Chicago, August 9.-Thousands OF
enthusiastic free silver Democrats call
ed at the Clifton House to see w. J.
Bryan and his VIE to-day. They came
with their wives and babies, but it was

house of worship had been hoEOrtd by
his presence. No reference was made
TO the political issues of the day by the
preacher in his sermon, nor did he n
his prayers mention the candidate or
his cause.
One reason that Mr. and Mrs Bryan
attended services at the Engewood
church was because the Rev. Hill has

New York, August George Miller,
alias George Meyer, alias George Aiun-
Ter. who. it is alleged, has fourteen
wives. was released from the penilen-
tiary on Blackwelrs Island to-day and
was arrested Immediately Oh charge
of bigamy. Miller has been serving 4
Term for petty larceny. Now he will
have to pay penalty for his numerous
matrimonial exploits.
Miller's history is remarkable. Al
though he is net handsome, and is fifty
years Of age. his "winnig ways" have
been responsible for the breaking Of
many heart and the appropriation OF
many poor girls savings. According
to the charges Of the women who have
brought suit, Miller posed as an eX,en-
siye property holder. After marrying
a woman it was his habit 10 appropri-
ate her small savings and then disap-
pear.
Suits Tor divorce which are now pend
ing aga.ns. Miller show that German
girls Of The East Side were usually his
victims. lie represented himself as be-
ing wealthy, and the servant girls upon
whom he imposed fell easy victims to
his persuasive manners.
Miss Pauline PaUil.ck, q domestic al
No. l57 Fifth avenue, claims 10 have
been Miller's first wife. She is one OF
the wives VINO seeks for divorce. Miss
PaulHck. or Mrs Miller, feels sure that
she was No. /, and says she still loves
him, although she seeks to be divorced.
She says she wants the divorce merely
because th.rteen other women have
helped themselves TO affections which
she believed were solely hers.
Annie Dicken. OF No. - Eas, Eighty
hfth street. says she first met Miller in
1894. when she was working in a deli
catessen store at No 1908 Third ave
nue.. Miller represented himself as an
owner of valuable propery. lie took
Miss Uicken out TO ride and pointed out
al least nfteen fine houses wnicl he said
he owned. They passed a large livery
stable one day, and he spoke TO a man in
the doorway.
"That is who're / keep nay horses, "
said he. Miss Dicken had life inter-
es5 in an estate valued a, several thou
sand dollars. Miller thought she was
in full possession OF this estate, accord
Ing TO her statements.
They had been married just week
when Miller discovered the rue si-U-
alton. He could not touch her posses
s.ons He did secure S17 from her,
which he spent for a suit Of clothes
Then he took me TO Greenwood cem-

said Miller, according 10 Miss Dickens
statement Il poisoned her; that's the
way l &c, rid of the wives don't like.
This 50 frightened Miss Dicken. she said,
that she fled from him AZ once.
Josephine KrOuse, Of No. 347 Park
avenue, claims to De the next wife. She
says Miller pawned her jewelry after
they were married, and after eighteen
days deserted her. I, is she and the

Of marriage, alleges in the paper that
