This man had reached the very last Of his re-
sources without finding speck OF gold, and al
though men in such extremity are always kind
and helpful to each other he could not expect
any one to share such fast-dwindling stores with
him. There was nothing for it, therefore, but to
turn back the morrow, while a mouthful or
food was still left, and to retrace his steps as
best he might to the nearest port. He dwelt
with a good deal of rough pathos on the despair
of that last days fruitless work, which left him
too weak and exhausted to carry his heavy tools
back to the spot they called camp" SO he just
flung them down and, he said staggered"
over the two or three miles Of scrub covered
desert guided by the smoke of the campfire.
Next morning early, after a great deal Of sleep
and very little food, he braced himself up to go
back and fetch his tools, though he carefully ex-
planned that he would not have taken the trouble
to do this If he had not felt that his pick and
barrow were about his only possessions, and
might fetch the price Of a meal or two when il
came to the last.

of the Divine mercy and goodness which was
so strong in that mans mind just then has ever

how he had rallied at his luck at fate. at every

seemed twice as long, for, as he said his heart
was too heavy to carry" At last the saw his

many of their fellow-voyagers they were unused

this the whole party was tied together. each

ALL MAY HAVE A REHEARING.

The immigrants who do not pass muster and
are held for examination are brought before the
Board and have an opportunity to state their
cases. Even after a decision has been reached
they may have n rehearing, so that no person
is deported unless he has had an original and
second hearing. The are numerous at
times that four boards have 10 sit at the same
time. 1t is the intention of these boards to act
without bias prejudice, and to decide all
cases on their merits; still there have been in
stances where ignorance on the part Of the i'm
migrants has caused miscarriage OF the law.
A case of this kind came up last week. An
Italian woman came to the Barge Office to meet
her brother-in law, from whom she carried
letter which had been received some days be-
fore. She said that she had plenty money,

Because He cuoldn't Go Any
 Other Way.

Cbas. Lewis, a negro, was arrest ed here Sunday afternoon on 8 charge of petit larceny. He was unable to make bond and was locked in the calaboose, where the thermometer, during these hot days registers 115o.
 Lewis did not feel like it was nec- essary for him to stay in that warm place. So, with the aid of a scant: ling which friend passed through the bars to him, he prised the iron bars wide enough to admit hls body to pass through and at a late hour Sunday night it passed. It has also come to pass that the negro cannot be found and the police are plus minus blank as to where he is.

The trial of Wiley Bnnn, one of the most noted and peculiar criminals in the history of Arkansas, will come up today at Hampton, Calhoun county. His hearing has been awaited throughout the State with much interest and anticipation Huddreds of people gre said to be in attendance at the trial.

Lucious Witherington and Cal houn Cornish, two popular and well know Calhoun county boys were in Pine Bluff Sunday. They were re- turning to their homes from a two- years expedition in the Klondyke. When the gold fever broke out in this country, these two young men went to the "Land of Ice" in hopes of striking it rich. They were among the first arrivals in that country and assisted in cutting the first road over White Pass. They had never been out of Calhoun county before this trip and with great courage and inexperienee did they undertake the tedious journey. They tell many interesting tales of their experiences during thei.' two years absense. Neither of them suffered one days illness. They had small tobacco sacks filled with gold nuggets, which they displayed to their friends. These gentlemen say they spent twice as much money as they se- cured in the diggings. but value their experiences highly.

FROM THE PLANTATION.
An Interesting Letter Issued by s. c
 Alexander & Co.

PINE BLUFF ARK, August 18th 1S99 Dear Sirs:
 We have had a few light showers with cooler weather during the past few days 9hich have brought us grateful relief from the extremely high temperature of the last two weeks.
 Reports are still coming in of dam age from shedding and premature opening of bools, but at this time it is impossible to make a reliable estimate of the loss; some are claim ing only two-thirds of a crop. others three-quarters while a few say they have not been hurt at all. There is sufficient evidence before us howey- ersto warrant the assertion tha the loss from various causes during the past month has been widespread aud serious.
 We note that MT. Neill refers to the recent general shedding as a rather proyidential thing for the enormous overburdened plant, en- abling it to carry a good crop to maturity instead of breaking down under its astonishing load of fruit. We don t know where he gets his ideas of the yield; certainly not from this quarter of the cotton belt where the reverse of such a COL dition pre- vails; the fruitage here is rather un- der than above the average. This season has been what might be gen. orally termed a wet one up to a re- cent period, and such seasons are never conductive to a heavy fruit age. fact wei! known to all who are at all familiar with the peculiar ities of the cotton plant.
 This market has received two or three bales of new cotton, though it will be some weeks yet before pick ing will become general; in the mean time the situation may De changed materially for better or worse by the course of the weather.
 Very truly Yours,
 s. c. ALEXANDER & Co.

OLIVE GAL BRAITR OUT
Britton's Order Causes His Resigna.
 tion-Goes to the Wabash.

MT. Olive Galbraith, Foreman of the Machine Shops, of the Cotton Belt Railway with headquarters in this city, has rendered his resigna- tion to take effect at once. Mir. Gal braith resigns to accept a similar position on the Wabash road with headquarters at Springfield H..
 Mr. Galbraith's resignation is the result of the order recently issued by Slperintendent F. H. Britton, in which he states that no head or sub head of departments should retain in his employ any relative. As Oi- i've Galbraith's father is Master Me chanic of the shops here, he was forced to give up his job. Mir. Ern- est Galbraith will probably resign in few days. Mr. George W. Gage, the General Foreman of the shops here, has wired his son George W. Gage Jr., who is visiting at St. Joe. New Hampshire, to remain at that place.
 We regret very mach to lose these gentlemen from our midst and our best wishes are always with them

THE REAL MEANING
Of the School Warrant Law is Ex-
 plained by Jeff Davis.

The last General Assembly of the State of Arkansas passed a law to the effect that school directors could not issue warrants unless the neces- sary money was, at the time, in the hands of the county treasurer to pay same. Ii also provided that ma jority of patrons of school district have right to petition the directors for school.
 County Treasurer j. Y. Saunders of this, Jefferson couDty did not un- derstand the full meaning of the law and asked the Attorney General for an exploitation of thesame. The de- cislon or explanation arrived this morning and reads as follows:
 Would say that neither common nor special school districts can em- pl0y teachers for 0 longer term than they either have money in the treas- ury to pay, or that will be turned into the treasury during the ipresent collection of taxes. That is, they must either have the money on hand or have it in sight.

Cleveland June 5.-James w. Bev-
lington, a Cleveland inventor of note,
has completed a device for spinning
metal, which promises to work import
ant changes in various lines of metal
manufacturing The principle upon
which the discovery is based is ex-
tremely simple. The metal that is
spun is in tubular form, and is placed in
a lathe,which turns at the rate of 1,SOC
revolutions a minute. In moments
time the metal becomes hot and soft
ems from the friction, and then can be
shaped by the operator according to
his wishes. The tool, which consists
of hard steel jaws touching on either
side of the revolving tube, can be read
lily gagged to any desired width, and
the sot,ened metal may be spun down
by means of pressure to any size ol
shape, as long as a circular form is re-
tanned.

Eastern Star Banquet,

The members of the Order of the
Eastern Star enjoyed themselves
thoroughly at their hall on Putnam
street Wednesday evening in spite of
the torridity of the atmosphere Elec-
trio fans were utilized to keep the air
in motion and added greatly to the
comfort of those so fortunate as to be
present.
The principal feature of the even
ing was the literary program, which
was rendered by members of the order
and well rendered, too. There was
music in abundance, both vocal and in
strumental. Some of the numbers
worthy of special mention were the
reading of Mr. l. l.. Ellis, guitar solo
by Miss Glazier, reading by Miss Car
others, song The Bogie Man" by Miss
Catherine McIntire; piano duet, Misses
Ada and Mable Torner; The Bachel-
or's Soliloquy," Mr., Sykes and seven
ladies'; duet, Arthur and Miss Grace
Ogle; The Peek Sisters" a humorous
rendition by seven sisters, and the
closing tableau entitled "A Spanking
Good Time"
The enjoyment of the evening was
ended by banquet and dance which
was enjoyed until late hour by the
younger ones of the merry party.
