For the past sixty years these famous White Sui
phur Springs have been noted for their health-giyng
properties, and for many years previous to the civil
and long before any portion Of South Arkansas was
crossed or touched by an iron rail- many Of the best
citizens Of the southern portion Of the State were ac-
customed as the hot summer months drew on to load
their wagons with outfits and in carriages and ambu-
lances and on horse back to take themselves and ami-
lies for so miles, through the valleys and across the
hills, to spend the heated term where they could par
take Of the excellent waters Of Baker Springs Ira
diton tells US that long before the foot Of the white
man had ever rested upon the foot hills Of the Ozark
mountains the Indians knew Of and were accustomed
to visit these Springs which were counted the gift Of
the Great Spirit, to restore to health the weak and

WHAT THEY ARE

These Springs furnish an abundant supply Of as
fine White Sulphur Water as the world affords, pro-
nounced by those who have visited and partaken Of
BOTH to be almost Identical with the iar-famed White
Sulphur Springs Of Virginia and by many the water is
said to be superior to the Virginia White Sulphur
Springs
David Dale Owen, Geologist Of national repu-
tation and who was appointed State Geologist Of the
State Of Arkansas by Gov. Elias NJ Conway in April
1857, after giving qualitative analysis Of this water
showing it to contain Carbonate Of Soda, Chloride Of
Sodium free Sulphureted Hydrogen and Sulphates Of
Soda and Magnesa, adds: Its medicinal properties
are mild laxative diuretic anti scorbutic, slightly al
teratiye, and strongly antacid And the universal
verdict Of hundreds Of visitors who have drunk Of these
waters, confirms and adds to the testimony Of Dr..

HAD BURIED TREASURE
But Mrs. Cannon Lived in Pow
erty and Want.
FOUND AT TER HER DEATH
Four Hundred Dollars Discovered in a
Bundle of Old Standards = An
Empty Tin Box Found
in the Cellar.

Mrs. Mary Cannon died suddenly yes
terday of asthma in her cabin on the
Hesperus lode. Her husband, Michael
Cannon died on the 18th of last month,
and since then Mrs. Cannon had lived
in poverty and want. She often told her
neighbors how poor she was, but those
who knew her best did not believe her,
for there was rumor about the neigh
borho0d that Mrs Cannon and her hus-
band had a buried treasure somewhere
about the premises, and as soon as she
was dead yesterday and the body had
been taken in charge by Undertaken
Sherman. the latter was told about the
suspicious entertained by the neighbors,
and Mr.. Sherman reported the matter
TO Alex G. Abbott, the public admin
istrator.
Last evening about o'clock Mr.. Abb
bolt visited the cabin and began dig
ging in the celler in search Of the buried
treasures. lie found d tin can. which
had been carefully planted. 1t was
empty but 1t had all the appearance Of
having been used as a hiding place for
money, and he was convinced that the
money had been recently removed. Fur
Their digging brought to the surface an
other Japanned box, but that, too was
empty. He then made search of an
old cupboard, in the bottom OF which
IlC lbllIll a tuIihiG DI tlu lie
unwrapped them and in the center
found a package of $500 in IS and $40
bank notes. He took possession of the
money and will apply to the court for
letters of administration.
Some of the dead woman's neighbors
think there is still more money hidden
about the place somewhere. Michael
Cannon, for a long time before and up
to his death. was sweeper on the street
railway tracks When he died his wife
applied for letters of administration and
in her petition stated that the estate
consisted of a lot of ground in Clark's
addition and the property on the Hes
perus, in all valued at $3.50 When the
undertaken presented her with bill for
her husbands funeral expenses she
pleaded that she was too poor and could
not pay 1t until she had sold one of the
lots
Mrs Cannon was Al years of age. So
far as can be learned the only relative
is sister of Cannon, Bridget Kelly,
who lives in Merchants Roads, County
Galway. Ireland.
There will be question arise whether
the money found belonged to the hus-
band or the wife. If to the former, it
viii all go to the sister in Ireland and If
1t belonged to Mrs. Cannon, it would be
distributed to her relatives. if there are
any, though SO far none have been
heard from.

EXPERT CHICKEN PICKER.
Bride win Pick Feathers 10 Prove Her
Case il Court.

Mrs. Dora Gordon Brann Of Ladoga,
near Charlottesville, Ind, viii soon
make an exhibition before jury of her
remarkable deXterity in picking chick
ems, in order to win a lawsuit growing
out of her recent elapement and mar
riage. Some months ago Max Goodman.
thrifty Hebrew, settled in Ladoga,
and began a wholesale poultry business.
employing his sister-in-law, Miss Dora
Gordon, as a chicken picker in his
slaughter house. The little lady was
very pretty and an expert picker, be-
coming in spite Of her work the belle Of
the town. She soon fell in love with her
most ardent admirer. Thomas Brann,
owner of a saWmill. and married him in
spite Of the protest Of her relatives.
Her elopement caused quite sensa-
ton and her brother came post haste
from Chicago, Offering her $1,000, ii is
said, If she would renounce the mar
riage. She Indignantly refused and was
renounced by her family. The bitter
ness thus engendered grew apace and
finally Mrs. Brann suedGoodfnan for $50
alleged to be due her for picking chick
ems, at ! cent each, in Goodman's poul-
try house.
The trial of the cause was a most ex-
citing one, as both factions We're in
tensely bitter. The jury. however. dis
agreed, some of the jurors not believing
it possible for the plaintiff to pick 5000
fowls in the short time in which the
complainant ALLEGES she did.
Mrs. Brann at once insisted that the
court set the cause down for an imme-
date rehearing and spiritedly declared
that at the next trial she would re-
move all possibility Of such handi-
Gaping doubt She has arranged with
the court that at the next trial the jury
shall go with her to a local poultry
house and witness a practical demon
tration of her ability as a chicken pick
er. She proposes to have II hens killed
before the jury and to dress them while
they wait Mrs. Brann's friends say
she can pluck the feathers from the
fowls almost as fast as they can be
killed and brought to her

and poor, but started manfully to fulnli
his mission. In a little room he lived
on bread and water to save enough
to buy books, and the long evenings
after work were spent studying theolo-
gy and biblical history at the Cooper
institute.
In short time a free scholarship was
offered by the church. Nesbitt worked
hard, but someone with more influence
obtained the prize. He continued to
struggle fer his ambition and was soon
licensed as an exhorter, and afterWard
became lay preacher.

Is years ago and was put on patrol
mans duty at the old Slip station.
When he could spare the time he filled
various puipits in the city and became
known for his missionary work.
The policeman preacher has strong,
rough eloquence that appeals by its
sincerity. His speech abounds in meta
phors and SMILES that are often sur
prising in their strength and fitness.
He uses few adjectiyes, yet never lacks
for words. and his knowledge of history.
biblical and profane, often surprises his
listeners. Mr.. Nesbitt preached last
Sunday night in the Asbury Methodist
church in East Chester.

Established institutions for the circu-

other large concerns, of which there are
four or five in New York alone. circulate

CONCERNING SLEEP WALKERS.
Some Narrow Escapes and Some Effect.
i've Cures Are known.

From the Hartford Courant
The mention Of a sleep walker stand
ing nuon the street railway track lie
other night and barely escaping BENG
run down has brought TO the minds of
many people incidents in this line that
have come under their obserVa ion. and
II is simply astonishing how general Is
this habit.
One person mentions the case or a
member Of The household who vas
found wandering about ON the house
top, all unmindful of his danger, While
the observer WAS al his wits end to
know how to get him in before he
should make a misstep and fan to Inc
ground. Usually the eyes Of tine SOM
nambulist are wide open, and now and
then story indicates that the Vision
must he fairly good at times.
For instance. a gentleman remembers
that when he was young man an aez
quaintance was badly given To the han
it, and he would often go out into the
yard and wander about. One night a
number Of them lay IN ambush for him
just to watch his operations BY and
by the door opened in a hnsinesslike
way and out came the young man. lie
went straightnay across the street into
a lot where there was a nut tree and
proceeded To pick up nuts and put them
in pile. A few moments 1T this task.
then he started toward the house. In
spanning the fence he made a missfep
and fell. This awakened him and while
he was in the first act of collecting hi,
thoughts he saw in the darkness the
young men who We're watching him.
Just at that time their appearance So
startled him that ne fed like a deer.
The circumstance VAS SO impressed
upon his mind that he never afterward
INDUCED in the habit
A gentleman told an amusing incl
dent that happened IN his early life IL
was sure that he could not have been
more than or = years old Al the time.
He often found himself al the far end
of the long. unfinished chamber where
he slept, and usually could not awake
sufficiently to find his way to bed again.
SO one or the other of his parents would
hear him crying and come To his res
cue. Naturally they got a little tired
