DARING BANDITS, AN ATTEMPT MADE TO ROB THE BANK AT WAR.
 REIN, ARK. Cashier Adair and MT. T. M. Good win Shot, the Latter Seriously The Ban-
 dits Escaped.

Special to the Little Rock Gazette. WARREN, Ark, February 25.-A daring, but unsuccessful attempt was made to rob the Merchants and Planters Bank of this place this evening.
 About half past three o'clock three men entered the bank, and two of them walked around the enclosure where Mr. Adair, the cashier, was seated in conversation with Messrs. T. Nj. Goodwin and D. W. Sutton. Their first salutation was "hold up your hands"
 Mir. Adair sprang for his pistol when the men commenced shooting and Mir. Goodwin received what is thought a mortal wound, and Mr. Adair was shot through the shonl- der.
 Adair returned the fire and evil dently wounded one of the men, as when he rode off he was seen to be bloody.
 The firing of pistols startled the citizens, who came running from all directions. and the robbers were force to retire without accomplish ing their object. As they rode out of town they kept up a fusilade of shots and went out northwest of town. Their plans were well laid and no doubt the bank would have been footed but for the promptness of Mir. Adair with his pistol. Al this writing Mir. Goodwin is in critical condition. Mr. Adair's wound is very painful, but not necessarily dangerous. In order to make their escape more effectual it is thought the Eascals may have had a con federate to tamper with the tele- graph wire and thus cut off tele- graphic connection. Several citizens had narrow escapes from the flying bullets and the interior of the bank is perforated with bullet holes. A full description of the men has been wired to all accessible points and a strong armed force is in pursuit of them.

FRANK D. LA MONT AGREES TO BECOME A DEAF MUTE FOR THREE
 YEARS.
He Enacted the Part to Perfection and Is Now Writing Book Giving His
 Experiences.

Many of our people will recollect a deaf mute artist by the name of Frank de la Mont who visited this city in March of 1895, and remained here for several weeks doing sketch work.
 Mr. de la Mont is again in Pine Bluff, having come down from Lit tie Rock this morning; but he is no longer deaf mute, but speaks five languages with great flueney.
 In conversation with a GRAPHIC reporter this morning Mr. de la Mont said that he and number of friends were in Louisville, Ky, one night discussing the lives led by deaf mutes and one .of his friends made a wager with him that he could not enact the part of a deaf mute successfully for the period of three years. The wager was ac-. cepted and on the following day Mr de la Mout left for Danv1lle, Ill.,, in which city he was to begin his life as deaf mute. Another condition of the wager was that MT. de la Mont was to make his own living in the character that be assumed and all the money he was allowed to start out with was 60 cents.
 The three years ended three weeks ago while the artist was in Little Rock and having won his wager and passed through some novel experiences, Mr. de Ia Mont assumed his proper character and gave utterance to speech for the first time in three years.
 MT. de h Mont says that while travelling through the country as a deaf mute he met on an average Of 200 people day and during the time visited over 600 cities and towns. His experiences have been novel and he is now engaged in writing a book which will give history of his q life as deaf mute for the three 4 years.
 # During his visit to this city he q made many friends who will be de- @ lighted to meet him again in his # proper character.
 # By way of explaining why he had @ deceived the public so long Mr. de @ ia Mont said to a GRAPHIC reporter:
 T always felt a deep interest in q deaf mutes and l only had this aim ln view when the innocent ruse was Started: l wanted to see how this # class of unfortunates fared at the hands of the people throughout the q country generally, and also, l was $ under the impression that could $ pursue my studies to better ad- s vantage. ] have certainly had some E very wonderful and peculiar expe- # flenees. have heard people say hard things about me, and then again many have sympathized with me In my 'affiiction'. The uncom- pilmentary things some said about
 me We're, in my opinion, spoken merely in testing way It is simp-
 Y habit some get into when in
 sae company with a person deprived gi speech and hearing"
 MT. de Ia Mont is very interest

SUFFERING iN sILENcE.

Women are the real heroes of the world. Thousands on thousands of them endure the dragging torture of the ills peculiar to womankind i'll the silence of home. They suffer on and on-weeks, months, years. The story of weakness and torture is written in the drawn features, in the sallow skin, i'll the list less eyes, ill the lines of care and worry on the face.
 Inborn modesty seals their lips. They prefer pain to humiliation. Custom has made them believe the only hope of relief lies in the exposure of examina- tion and '1ocal treatment.
 Take ten cases of "female weakness" and in nine of them "1ocal treatmento is unnecessary, There is no reason why modest, sensitive women should sub init to it. NIcEUREE,S

Call on Depository Banks.

NEW YORK, May 15.-The treas
ury department has issued q
further call on the depository
banks, graded according to the
amounts Of their holding Of gov
eminent moneys. The aggregate
amount 80 held is approximately
$9,000,O0O. ..
The call is a general one on all
repositories of the bank for so per
cent of their holdings Of govern
ment money, to be paid on or be-
fore June /. A rough estimate Of
the amount held by the depository
banks is between $S,500,0 900 and
$9,0O0,000, and the draft on the
money market will accordingly be
for half that sum at the sub.treas.
ury and at the banks. It is stated
that no important change in money
rates is likely to result from the
call, owing to the large and contin-
ued receipts of funds from the in
terror and the heavy amounts Of
foreign capital that are Offering in
this market.
