There was still doubt as to the owner ship of Fannie, when Hrschbarg said:

 The poodle became suddenly, to all ap pearanccs, very i'll, dropped her head md tail and limped about the room with q most woebegone look.

ALL|S PARDONED, THE WREcKER OF THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF LITTLE ROCK RELEASED BY PRESIDENT MCKIN-
 LEY.
The Nsws Received Here With General Satisfaction at 3
 O'clock Saturday.

Saturday afternoon shortly after three o'clock 3 telegram was receiv- cd here announcing the fact that President Mckinley had pardoned Mir. H. G. Aslis, who, when Presi- dent of the First National Bank, of Little Rock, caused that institution to be wrecked by reckless manage ment. He was tried and convicted on the charge of wrecking the bank and was sentenced to five years i'm prisonment. He has served fully two and-one- half years of the sen tence, when through the influence of his friends, was granted pardon by President Mckinley
 The news of the pardon was re celyed here with general gratifi. cation, for Mr. Allis is well known in this city and everybody likes him, and do not believe that the wreck ing of the bank was caused by dis honesty for the sake of gain for himself, but was largely due to the financial panic watch swept over the country and caused such g depres- sion in securities and properties of all kinds.
 4he magnificent electric street rail-  way system which Little Rock now enjoys is due to the enterprise ofMr. AIis.

which was spent in dancing and other
amusements. Mr.. and Mrs. Harsh
man received long list Of presents,
including nearly everything from the
dalntiest toilet articles to furniture
and money. Christian Hoffman and

Sweet, Brotherly Compliments.

It's not our circus but we just can't
help but smile over the nice little
scrap now going on between the News
and Monitor. 1t was Strother's turn
last week and Lane hasn't yet recov-
cred from the severe drubbing admin
istered by his late partner in crime.
Lane spent all day Saturday irving to
explain to Nixon some of his bad
breaks in his paper. 1t seems that
Lane has been bellttling The Dckin-
son county Office seekers, and the
News answered him in this style;
He. perhaps, has not been here a
sufficient length Of time to know that
such men as Nixon, Cranston, Hop
kins, Kelley, Palmer and the rest, who
have asked for an appointment under
the state administration, are the men
who have built up the populist party
in Dickinson county. They we're the
men who were lighting the battles of
the party when the editor of the Mon.
itor was in swaddling clothes. Under
these circumstances it seems ridlcu-
lous for this importation Of II. N.
Gaines, who is a perpetual Office
seeker, to say to these old warriors Of
populism that they have no right to
crlticise the state administration for
the manner in which this county and
district haye been treated. We un-
derstand, of course, that it has only |
been two or three ago when this great |
reform editor was running Republi.
can paper, SO it is impossible for him
to know how these old-timers Of the |
party feel when they get turned down |
by an administration they materially |
assisted to place in power. The poor
old Monitor had better stand up for |
its friends.

success. The audience Was well

has ability as declamer which few

smiles into tears. She believes that
with joy goes weeping as was shown

The singing given by the school was
good. The solo by Miss Grace Kugler

No Legal National Holidays.

The item in Saturdays REFLECTOR
in regard to legal holidays has created
much discussion. Very few people
are informed as to the holidays sane
toned by statute. There are no
national holidays provided by United
States laws. Each state has its own
legal holidays and can observe any
day they see fit. Kansas has three
such days designated to be holidays
for the people, but only one Of them,
May SOth, is generally observed.
Proclamations by president and gov
ernor make legal holidays.
