THE GOLD BRICK SCHEME A FORMER RESIDENT OF PINE BLUFF ARRESTED IN
 ST. LOUIS. Allen J Wine and His Wife, Known Here as Mrs. Peters, Charged with Attempting to De-
 fraud in the Old
 Way,

Thursdays Republic gives rather sensational account of the arrest of Alien J. Wine and his wife, who was known here as Mrs. Peters, and for some time was the trimmer in the millinery department of the Kauf- man Bazaar. After leaving here Mrs. Peters married Wine and they rented a small house in St. Louis and lived there until the cyclone de- stroyed it and a part of their be- longings. They afterwards met J. c. Kallal, who runs furnishing goods store and there the Wines traded occasionally. To the pro prietor of this store was unfolded a mining scheme that rivaled the most dazzling ever told in tiae Arabian Nights. The story teller owned a mine in Alaska, and through the kind offices of Black Antelope, whom he at one time had befriended, he was enabled to bring away from the great Northwest untold wealth. The miner refused to pawn these treas ures, consisting of ore and precious stones, because he feared that it would give the snap away, but took the merchant into his confidence and wanted $165 for the purpose of re- turningsto the land of Black Ante lope and being allowed to pick np millions in diamonds. They showed their wealth to the intended victim. It was in tin box and looked re- markedly like gold brick and a variety of precious stones. e
 The store keeper had advertised to sell his store and expected to start for Alaska when he told the police about the scheme aud they inyesti- gated the matter. Wines wealth was worth about $4.50. Both hus- band and wife were arrested and placed in jail.
 Mr Kaufman, of the Bazaar, was seen this morning by our reporter and stated that he had nothing to say except that he believed Mrs. Wine is insane. It is understood that her mother has been in an asylum for years.

A MAN
IS THE ENTERPRIsINa TOWN OF
 REDFIELD REPRESENTED
In Our Great Special Edition -Altheimer will be Visited Fri day July 17th. The County
 is With us solidly.

Work on the towns in Jefferson county was begun yesterday and the initial point was Redfeld. As was fully expected this thriv- ing and progressive place was heartily in favor of pushing their town and county to the front, and joined the inaugral procession to man. Not single refusal came from the eighteen business and professional men. Altheimer will be visited by MT. David Friday July I7th, and it is to be hoped they will fall into line with the balance of the county. The success attending this great movement is nowhere more prominent than in the county and ere its completion Jefferson county will be represent ed almost to unit. In the meanwhile work on the edition is progressing rapidly. Watch for the big affair, it eclipses all pre- vious efforts.

NEWSPAPER TERMS.
To the UninitIated They Sometimes Sound
 Very Disbolical.

Very DtRbolicaI.
 Some of the terms used by editors in regard to copy" or manuscript, are peculiar to the trade, and when applied ill particular cases would to the unin- itiated appear to be of a violent and criminal character
 The order to l" 'Kill Cleveland, :" for instance, would on it's face seem to par take of treason. The murderous expres- sion, however, would simply signify that the editor desired that an article i'll regard to the chief executive should be destroyed.
 The direction to Boil down the sen ate' would not mean that the reporter was to concoct q congressional con somme, but that the bulk of the report of the proceedings of the senate should be reduced
 "Cut Hoke Smith in half We want only the meat. That forcible, restric- tive measures should be used ill connec- tion with the person issuing such a mandate would seem only proper. But the anarehistie expression is understood by the newspaper man to signify that an interview with the secretary of the interior shall be reduced one half of it's original length, as the editor wants only the essential points.

He entered liar yard at the early age of 16, and imme- diately after his graduation in 1877 he began the study of law. taking three years course at the Boston University Law school. He soon began to take aii active interest in municipal politics, and in 1885 was elected mayor of Cam bridge. During his three terms ill this office he gained the respect of the younger element of his party, and when i'll 1888 he was nominated for governor. though not elected, he developed such oratorical talents and such an aptitude for generalship that the next year he was again chosen standard bearer. Fiercely and hotly the contest was waged, the tariff being the main issue MT. Russell made hundreds of speeches, and when the votes were counted it was seen that he was steadily gaining, for although again defeated, it was by a very narrow margin.
 For a third time he was renominated, and this time was triumphantly elected, being the third Democratic governor of Massachusetts since the war and the youngest man who had ever occupied the gubernatorial chair Massachusetts Democrats fondly refer to him as the "boy governor, and he is universally known as Billy Russell. So successful was his first administration that he was renominated in 1891, and he was reelected, although every other Demo- cratic candidate on the ticket was de- feated.

QUEBEC, July f7.-Ex-Gov. Rus sell, of Massachusetts, was found dead yesterday morning at his fish ing camp at Adelaine, near Grand Pabos, Quebec.
 Gov. Russell passed through Que bee in the best of health on his way to the salmon grounds in Gaspe
 Grand Pabos, the nearest tele- graph station to St. Adelaide, is d little fishing place of only 300 inhab- itants and there are very few facili- ties for getting explicit information at present. It appears that yester- day morning the guides found that he slept longer than usual, and when they went to wake him up it was found that he was dead. Ii Is sup posed that he died of heart disease.
 1t appears that the people who ac- companied cx-Gov. Russell were his brother and F. Peabody, from Bos- ton. Their camp was near the little Pabos River, where they had fished yesterday, when the ex-Goy. seemed in the very best of health The tent in which they slept was divided into two compartments, and as the ex-Governor slept alone the others never knew he was dead until late in the morning when they thought 1t was time to awake him.

 FRED FOX, the wholesale hardware dealer, was a little conservative. He believed that Bryan is the strongest man that could have been selected out of the material at hand. He has no opinion as to Sewall, knowing noth ing of his record, and thinks the ticket will be defeated.

The work of getting the Pine Bluff business men to talk on the Democratic National ticket was con- tinued tfis morning and it seems truly that every body is on the qua uire. It is almost as hard to get an opinion on a political question as it is to get paper discounted in bank.

They will keep after free silver for the next fifty years but what they get it, and after it be- comes a law I think everybody will have a chance to judge as to the best financial policy As to the ticket, it's all right on that plat form.
