New York for the last two weeks having
been 20 per cent. larger and imports here
n per cent smaller than last year. The
rapid movement of grain and the unusu-
ally early marketing of cotton tend
strongly to aid the banking syndicate
which has undertaken to regulate foreign
exchange. Speculation has advanced

CIVIL WAR IN ARKANSAS,
Notify Several Families

Whitecaps Notify Several Families
to Leave, but They Stay.
Johnston iEounty farmers in the vicin-
itv, of Lamar, Ark, have begun whitecap
operations in an effort to rid the com
munity of cotton thieves. For the last
two or three years farmers in that neigh
borhood have been annoyed by wholesale
petty thieves. Cotton, cattle and hogs
have been stolen. The other night an
armed band of twenty-five farmers called
on several families suspected of the thefts
and notified them 10 leave the community.
Instead of leaving, the alleged thieves are
arming themselves with sh0tguns, and
trouble is expected to occur. -.n,a.

Dy the explosion of twenty-five pounds of
dynamite at New Holland, Pa. The Penn
sylvania Telephone Company is building
new line in that vicinity, and had stored
the explosive in. the summer kitchen of
the Eagle Hotel. Early in the morning
Charles +. Cannon, an employee of the
company and one of a gang just about to
start 10 work, went to the summefkitchen
to get out enough dynamite for the days
use. A few moments later there was a
terrible explosion and one side of the
kitchen was blown out. A big hole on
another side had blood and flesh on the
ragged edges, and it is supposed that Can
mons body was sent through there. The
unfortunate man was blown to atoms, his
stomach having been found two blocks
away. Up to late hour neither his legs
nor his head had been found. Frank
Hammond Of Harrisburg, who was stand
ing just outside the building, had every
bone in his body broken and was instantly
killed. George Crossman, of Steelton, q
water boy, was also standing near the
building and was so badly injured that he
died Two other buildings were badly
wrecked, as was also part Of the hotel,
while the whole front of large imple-
ment store was blown out. The tin roofs
Of u number of houses were RACED and

A Titled Young Lady Of only Tive
Years.

There is in England small peeress. for
whom the queen has gone out Of her way
and done a remarkable thing in order that
this little girl may enjoy her full rights
when she gets bigger.
she is Mona Josephine Tempest Staple
ton, eldest daughter OF the late Baron
Beaumont who was accidentally killed II,
the hunting field about q year ago. Tho
peerless is only years OF age. and after
the death OF her father the harony fell
into allegiance. The queen, however. has
very graciousiy reyivecSit. This is not the
FIRST time the Beaumont bsrony has been
iu abeyance Once before. In the reign of
Henry VII, II fell into allegiance, and so
remained for 80 years. and was then re-
vlved. so that this Is the second time the
queen of England has taken the same
action for the same family.
The diinunitive peereSs comes Of one OF
the oldest families In England. II started
with Henry de Beaumont. who Is supposed
80 be a grandson OF John dc Rrienne. the
last king Of Jerusalem. Henry de- Beau
mont went 20 England and became a IA
voriie with Edward ]. The crown made
him king OF the Isle OF Man for life. and
March 4 !s0a. he WAS summoned TO pariia-
Tnsnt as a baron OF England.
