A CORRESPONDENT writing from Pine Bluff to the Goaette suggests Hon. s. M. Taylor, of this city, for one of the delegates from the Second Congressional District to the National Democratic Convention. The suggestion is good one, and we hope it will meet with popular favor, MT. Taylor is in thorough accord with the sentiments of the Democracy of Arkansas on the sil- yer question, is an earnest and hard working Democrat and would be a worthy and deserving recipient of the honor of being made one of the delegates to the National ConveE- tion.

Young Ohio Woman Missing.

Five weeks ago Miss Luella Emrie of
Walnut Hill, Cincinnati, living at - Gill
bert Avenue, left that city for Petoskey,
Mich. and has not been heard from since.
She has spent several summers with Mrs.
j. b. Gage, who keeps a fashion able
boarding house at P~etoskey, and was ex-
pected for this summer. Replies received
from inquiries addressed by Mrs. Gage to
Cincinnati indicate that Miss Emrle left
there, as She had intended to, and that
nothing had been heard of her at Indian
apolis, where she intended to visit friends.
A trunk, unclaimed, at the Chicago and
West Michigan depot, Petoskey, is un-
doub:edly hers. She was an attractive
woman, 20 years of age, and OF excellent
reputation.

THINK TRAMPS KILLED HIM.
Man Found Dead at Hawardcn Idcn-
titled rs =. 5, Dickson.

Developments in the case of the body of
the dead man found in the Sioux River
Sunday evening near Hawarden. Iowa, Tin
dictate that the man was murdered by
trampS and thrown IN the river. The
mans name was ). ;. Dickson, from
where it is not ascertained. \ hat, coat
and shoes were found on the bank of the
river near where the body vas found and
on the inside Of the coat a piece of paper
was sewed OF which was written, The
bearer holds ticket No. (blank) and is on
his way to visit his son, j. II. Dickson, at
Hitchcock, S. D." 1t is thought that the
paper was seen by several different parties
in Hawarden and vicinity. He was there
a couple OF days and seemed TO be in a
sort Of insane state. The general belief
is that the old man went to IIawarden on
an evening train and in stopping over
night lost his head and went wandering
around. lie undoubtedly had a little
money on his person and in his tour of
the city he came in contact with tramps
who induced him TO 60 to the river, where
they made way with him.

the discovery of what looks like an eN-
tinct volcano on Sand Creek, in the Bad
Lands. not far from Hcrmosa. Near The
point where the creek empties into the
White River is a hill some eighty ieet in
height. This hill, he states, vlbrates and
groans almost constantly. The squaw
men living in the vicinity are given as
authority for the statement that 1t has
once or twice trembled so violently as to
overturn wagons and throw down persons
standing upon it. About half way up its
side is IA bed of volcanic ashes between
ten and fifteen feet in depth.
Another peculiar formation reported is
that of a valley near Pin Ridge in which
are numerous shifting dunes. They are
believed to change their positions with
every change of the wind and are receiy-
ing much attention from the survey ing
party. 1t is expected that the results OF
the expedition will be OF much interest TO

New Potato DESTROYER

An insect, new to the potato growers Of
that section, has put in an appearance in
tie vicinity of Alexandria. 1t is a dark
green bug, from g to = an inch long,
1t comes in swarms, settles on a potato
patch and quickly eats every vine. The
insect is extremely lively and hard to
catch or destroy. Whenever it touches
the hands or face it raises a blister and
has been named the Spanish fly. 1t
kills the old fashioned Colorado Iea,le
wherever it is found. The only way 50
far discovered TO clear a patch of the pest
is TO scatter straw in the rows, beat the
vines, when the fly will run under the
straw, then fire the straw. Fortunately
the fly is not numerous and its ravages
are confied to a small area.
