CoRBETT says that the solar
plexus blow cured him of a bad
case Of dyspepsia. That statement
shows that medicine is still largely
an experimental science, but it
may be doubted whether a terrific
punch in the short ribs will be a
popular cure for stomach Trouble.
To be effective the blow must
hurt and should not be deadened
by anaesthetics. Corbett evidently
felt it, to Judge from the express
sion of his face Immediately after
receiving it. But if he had known
that the blow was to cure him OF
dyspepsia, what look of seraphic
bliss might not have overspread
his features! Perhaps the pain
may likewise be moderated by
that thought in the case of hard
ened dyspeptics who resort to the
iab below the heart as last
remedy. In many cases, it would
be the lest remedy and be most
successful in freeing the patient
from ali care for his stomach,
though perhaps it might alarm
him as to the immediate destina-
ton of his soul. The new cure
opens wide field to pugilists who
have grown too old for quick
work, while still retaining their
old-time power. They can set up
as gastric specialists and guarantee
to cure deranged stomachs or
refund the stakes. Dispatch.

WHEREVER postal savings banks

WHEREVER postal savings banks
are in operation women are among
the most appaeciative patrons OF
the system. AS q rule women are
more careful of small sums than
men, and seem to have more
practical realization of the value
of such accumulations. In many
families it is only the foresight of
the wife that leads to provision
being made against a day of
adversely. The disire of women
more generally than of men is for
a place of absolute safety for
their small savings rather than
high rates of interest. Conse-
quently they are especially appre-
ciative of the stability which the
postal savings bank affords Pro
badly congress could do no other
one thing that would so commend
it to the women of the country as
would the establishment of a pos
tai bank system. Chicago Record.

WHETHER the democrats and
the pops fuse or don't fuse makes
no difference to Republicans.
With or without fusion, democracy
is usually about $4,000 votes short
of success. For the sake of mere
amusement, it might be better to
have two populist parties in the
field, but it doesn't materially
affect the result, for there are

THE HAST GLANCE" SALOON
With Contents Burned This Morning
 Owned by Ed Harvey

In the still hours of last night the unearthly screaming of the fire whistle awakened Pine Blufians. The cause of that sudden alarm was the catching on fire of the "Last Chance" saloon, which was owned and conducted by MT. Ed Harvey on East Second avenue.
 Upon the arrival of the fire boys the building was well butned, all though they responded promptly to the call.
 Adjoining the saloon, which was a one-story frame structure, was an- other frame building two stories in height, the upper part of which MT. Harvey used as his residence. This building would have certainly been good food for the raging flames had not she fire boys used their best eff forts to the fullest extent and suc- ceeded in saving same.
 The origin of the fire is unknown.
 The stock and fixtures, all of which burned, were insured in the Geo. M. Wells agency for $500. The saloon building, together with the two story structure, were insured in the Geo. M. Wells agency also, but the saloon was all that burned and the loss will only amount to about $500. The building was the proper ty of the Clausen Brewery Branch, of St, Louis.

Nc silent Clocks for Them.

Pearson's Weekly: A clock manu- facturer of Birmingham found that a rival was doing large trade in cheap clocks sent out to the wilds of Africa. He got hold of sample clock, and, finding that there was heavy profit in the enterprise, invested a large sum of money in making a still better clock. thousands Of which were shipped to the same market.
 Strange to say, sales were slow, while his rival, turning out cheaper and far less accurate tlmepiece, was selling all he could make Investiga- tion showed the cause.
 Savages like noise The clocks made by the original exporter had particu- larly loud and aggressive tick; his imi- tator made a better clock, but 1t was almost noiseless, and the savages would have none oR it. The remedy was simple. The next shipment of clocks to the Guinea coast tieked more loudly than anything previously heard there, and all went we'll.

TERRIBLE REPORTS FALSE.
So Said q Member of the Committee In Conversation With
 a Graphic Reporter.

As stated in the Graphic several days ago, in pursuance to orders from County Judge Mills, of Pulaski county, and demand of Mir. John M. Oracle, Sheriff KaYanaugh, and Prosecuting Attorney Gray, ac- companied by Editor Smith of the Tribune, were sent to Gracies con- ylct farms at New Gascony and Hannaberry to investigate the treatment and condition of convicts.
 They spent almost three days looking over the places and return ed to this city today with complete and exact report of existing affairs, which tkey will present to Judge Mills in Little Rock Saturday.
 h conversation with a Graphic reporter this morning Sheriff Kav- anaugh said: Well, I found these two camps to be two ot the best that l ever inspected, and I have seen many of them. While there are a few things I do not quite approve of, (and l told MT. Gracle so, tool the camp is almost perfectly kept and the eonvicts are humanely treated. You can state that most of the reports are untrue. 70
 The party left this afternoon for Little Rock, where they will imme- diately make a report of their in- vestigations to Judge Mills.

CREMATED ALIVE.
A Three Year-old ColOred Child
 Burned to Death.

Thursday evening abou@8 o'clock the three -year-old daughter of Ben Jordan, eoored, was burned to death, together with his home and contents.
 Ben is hal working negro and his family and child were the lights of his life. He resided in his own home, a small residence, about two miles back of Jones park.
 Last evening Ben was in town at tending to business. He left his wife and little baby girl at home. Later in the evening his wife went to a neighbours house on visit. She intended to return in short while and did not take her child. Upon returning she found her home in ashes and charred body of what was once cheerful little daughter. The grief-stricken parents are heartbroken over the sad affair.
 The origin of the fire is unknown, but 1t is supposed that the child, being too young to know better, played with fire and thereby caused the confagration.
