MT. Mason Philpot received a telephone message gbout 10 o'clock saying that the store house of the Richardson & May Planting Co.,, at Cornerstone, was broken into last night and robbed of $80000 in money. It was not known who the robbers were. Major Baswell was the clerk and book-keeper at the store, and he discovered therobbery this morning Ths planting com pany's safe was in the store. As a large amount of ready money was necessary to run the big plantation, the company always kept several hundred dollars on hand.
 A larger amount of money than usual being on hand last night it is supposed that parties in the neigh borhood learned the fact and plan ned the robbery, which was success fully carried out
 Mir. Philpot was asked to bring his blood hounds down to the scene of the burglary and try to run down the robbers. He fears the dogs may be unable to find the right trail, as parties have been over the place looking for the robbers. The heavy rains present another. MT. Philpot is willing to try any run that can add additional lustre to the fame of his dogs.

TO COMMENTATORS DYSPEPSIA
To Gain Flesh, to Sleep Well. to Know What Appetite and Good Digestion Mean, Make a Test of stuarrs
 Dyspepsia Tablets.
Interesting Experience of an Indianapolis
 Gentleman.

No trouble is more common or more misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia. People having it think that their nerves are to blame and are surprised that they are notcured by nerve medicine and spring reme- dies; the real seat of the mischief is gan to be locked after.
 Nervous dyspeptics often do not have any pain whatever in the stom- ach, nor perhaps any of the usual symptoms of stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia shows itself not in the stomach so much as in nearly every other organ; i'll some cases the heart palpitates and is irregular; in others the kidneys are affected; in others the bowels are constipated with headaches; still others are troubled with loss of flesh and appe- tite, with accumulation of gas, sour risings and heartburn.
 MT. A. W. Sharper of No. G1 Pros pect St., Indianapolis, Ind, writes as follows: "A motive of pure grat- itude prompts me to write these few lines regarding the new and valuable medicine, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab let's. 1 have been a sufferer from ner- yous dyspepsia for the last four years; have used various patent med icines and other remedies without any favorable result. They some times gave temporary relief until the effects of the medicine wore off. attributed this to my sedentary hab- it's, being 8 bookkeeper with little physical exercise, but I am glad to state that the tablets have overcome all these obstacles, for l have gained in flesh, sleep better and am better in every way The above is written not for notoriety, but is based on ac- tual fact" Respectfully yours,
 A. W. Sharper, 6t Prospect St, Indianapolis, Ind.
 It Is safe to say that Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets will cure any stomach weakness or disease except cancer of stomach. They cure stomach, gas, loss of flesh and appetite, sleepless- ness, palpitati0n, heartburn, consti- patton and headache.

TAYLOR & ROANE TO BE SUCCEEDED BY W. H.

WILLIAM L. ROBERTS.

Don Caesar De Bazan was present. ed at the opera house last night for the second time this season by Mr. William l.. Roberts and company. He was greeted by very small house. Mr. Roberts, it seems, has been pursued by bad luck all this season. Quarantine regulations in the fall broke up all of his engage ments in the South, and he has been playing where he could make dates.
 At each appearance here rainy nights have caused him tobe greeted with small audiences. MT. Roberts is one of the best players that comes to Pine Bluff. His company IS excel lent. In Miss Olive Martin he has an able assistant in presenting Don Caesar De Bazan. The scenery used in presenting the play is the finest brought here this season.
 MT. Roberts stored his scenery here while he is making several engage ments In other places. He will likely return and fill weeks engagement at this place. If so, it is to be hoped that our people will give him the patronage he so eminently deserves.

FELT MATS FOR RAILS.
Noise of Moving Trains Will Be Dead
ened.

Mention has already been made of the
invention of a material for the dead
ing of the sound produced by moving
trains, and was exhibited at Leipsic last
summer. The new mat is described as
being made of strong wool, which is
thoroughly impregnated with oils, then
Superf1cialIy coated with glue, which
has been rendered insoluble by the adj
dition of sodium bichromate and form
aldehyde, and then very highly COM
pressed to form plates from one-third
inch to several inches in thickness and
of various sizes. They are especially
recommended for crossings and bridges,
but are desirable for use all along the
track, and it is claimed that they tend
to prolong the life of the rail by lessen
ing the wear upon it. The surface of
the mat is said to be so hard that a rail
may be placed upon such a piece of
mating without cutting it. When
placed between the Orders and founda-
tions of engines it considerably lessons
the vibration. Its use in connection
with the elevated roads in large cities
has also been suggested.

Curiositx of Monkexa.

Curiosity seems to be the great failure
or virtue of monkeys. A story is told of
an Englishman who had South African
monkey which had travelled with him
around the world. When his bachelor
days were over, he took his young wife to
a lovely old manor house in the south of
England, and, Englishmanlike, kept sew
eral barrels of good home brewed' ale in
the cellar. On returning from church on
Sunday morning he noticed that the cellar
door was open and started on tour of
investigation. AS he went down the steps
Jenny, the monkey, rushed up, and he
found that she had set all the spigots rum
ming. The door had been inadvertently
left open, and Jenny doubtless went pry-
ing into the semilighted place. Turning
one spigot on produced such a rushing
stream that she tried the others also, much
to the waste of the liquor 1t may be
added that when the Englishmans first
born appeared and monopolized attention
Jenny got such fit of jealousy that she
was at once sent to the secluded but more
congenial society to be found in the mon
key house of the London geological gar
deus.

CLARA NEVADA SURVIVOR.
Discovery of Row Boat Indicates
That One Man Escaped Alive.

Victoria, B. c., May IA startling
discovery has just been made on the
shores of Lynn canal by the steamer J.
M. Coleman. A row boat bearing the
name of the unfortunate steamer Clara
Nevada was found high and dry on the
beach near Seward City, opposite where
the disaster occurred.
The boat contained a couple of coats,
two miners bags full of clothing and a
few provisions, while a few feet away
were the emberS of a camp fire. All
this tends to show that at least one
man escaped the fate of the lost fifty
and should he be found alive, the de-
tails of the tragedy will cease to be
mystery.
