FRANK JAMES STORY.
At Springfield, No, He Tells How He
Became an Outlaw.

Springfield, Mo-, September 27.-
Frank James is here to officiate as
starter at the fair this week.
He has not been in Springfield
since 1862, and as he walked
through the public square he look
ed up at the old court house and re-
called the time when he was a pris-
oner in that old building, which
Imprisonment determined his future
career.
He was enlisted in Gen. Prices
army, which occupied Springfield in
the winter of 1861 and 1862. He
was attacked with pneumonia and
placed in the court house, which
was used as a hospital. Gen. Cur
tis compelled Price to retreat, and
Springfield was left in the posses
sion of the Federal army.
Il was IN the hospital SIX weeks,
said Frank James, "aud by that
time was able to be about at
once commenced planning an escape
and one night managed to get in
the rear of the building, where [
crawled through window and got
safely away.
81 wanted to join Price, but
found it would be impossible, as the
Yankees had me completely cut off,
so l started north, and in FIVE days
rode into QuantrelPs camp. l was
asked to join the command and,
being acquainted with number of
the men, did so. l stayed with
Quantrell until he was killed in
Kentucky in 1864
Frank James believes that if he
had been able to join Price his
name would not have become that
of an outlaw.

The legislature should adopt a
law lengthening the term of office to
four years and make incumbents
Ineligible to re- election. This is
one of the great reforms which are
demanded by the people, and one
of the best. We hope to see the
change. 1t would give the incum-
bent some chance to play even
with the healers and make a living
for his family. 1t would lessen the
number of elections and save much
time and money to the people. 1t
would settle the question of rota-
ting the Offices, 1t would have a
tendency to make the vote more
careful in the election OF men to
serve him four years. 1t would
give independence to the officehold-
er, and he would not always be
bound to Feather his nest" and ac-
commodate his friends. There are
many reasons why such law is a
necessity, and no doubt it will re-
ceive the attention of the legisla-
ture, as it should. Forrest City

Watermelon Sirup.

Several times lately we have
noticed brief references to expert
ments at sirup making from water
melon juice, and have wondered
why some systematic efforts have
not been made to utilize this pro-
duct in that way. The older gem
GRAFTON of people can, doubtless,
call to mind sirup made by the
slaves-on a small scale and in a
rude way, it is true, but it was not
at all a bad substitute for the
genuine article. The watermelon
juice contains larger percentage
of water than does the Juice of the
cane, but we are informed that one
gallon of sirup can be made. from
IL to IA gallons of juice, and are Of
the opinion that an acre of land
would produce more sirup if plant
ed in melons than if planted IN
cane. They are an easy crop to
raise, are very productive, easy to
handle, and no'machinery would be
required to express the juice, as is
the case with sugar cane. The
watermelon makes a beautiful
sirup, mild and pleasant, and if the
effort was made in a scientific way,
there is little doubt that it would
prove a success, 1t is certainly
worth trying, Montgomery (Ala)

The New Evil of Tea-smoking

Physicians in various parts of the
country report an alarming growth
of tea-smoking. The habits con-
tracted by those whose nerves are
disordered, who can't sleep, whose
digestion is imperfect, whose liver is
out of order, who get the "blues"
and feel their strength departing.
1t seems strange that sufferers from
the above disorders should not cure
themselves with Hostetters Stom-
ach Bitters. This is a medicine
which whets up the appetite, regu-
lates the bowels, steadies the nerves
and induces sound sleep. Those who
take it find that it cures dyspepsia,
and there is no bad taste in the
mouth in the morning, no feeling of
weakness after the days work is
done. 1t is we'll worth a trial

case Of Edward Clifford, who is under
sentence to be hanged at Jersey City
on Jan. 6 for the murder of William G.
Watson at Weehawken two years ago.
Ex-Attorney-General John P. Stockton
and Warren Dixon are attempting to
save him on the ground that the death
warrant signed by David o. Watkins
recently as "acting Governor" is illegal,
because the Constitution recognizes no
such official as an acting Governor. At
the conclusion of the argument Justice
Dupue said that decision would prob
