BEY oND THE GRAVE.

It is true that Pine Bluff in tAe amusement world is dead. \ few days ago We had an opportunity for achange from this sleep of sameness we have been enjoying so reluctant iy so long but it now appears to the contrary. Lennon Bros. circus ap- piled for admission to show within our city.
 The city license for circus and parade is S200 but heretofore circus eB have been permitted to exhibit within the corporate limits for $l00 When the show people applied to ma4or Alexander for q license he de- maaded s200, but thev refused to pay it and rendered S100. This ths mayor declined, but we learn the show will exhibit here in due time, but outside of the corporate limits and west of the cemetery beyond the grave.
 Thus the city will lose $l00 in reYenue and people who wish to see another bareback ride or q clown inmp through a hoop will have to go BeY9adE the city limits to satisfy thelr desire.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY
Occurred on East Second Avenue
 Last Evening

Saturday night while people were strolting up and down Main street, business booming, and others talk ing oyer tbe events of the day at home, a woman Mrs. Frank Seisler, formerly Miss Laura Yaena Of this city, in company with her sister was vending her way home at about 7:30 o'clock. Like all ladies she a,ried her pocket book at her side attached to the dainty belt else in her hand. Between State and Texas streets about 10 feet Tn front of Mrs. Portls' residence, on East Second avenue. she was grabbed, the pocket book snatcbed, the lady screamed tshelpl help12 and the negro ran. Mr. Buck Bloom, who was at the tune talkiGg to MT. Mill Ter a6 his home, went in search of the negro, aud failing to find him, and believing as others in the neigh borhood did, that the negro might Lave dropped the same in the ex- citement, inaugurated a search. The money, however, has rot been found and it will be almost an i'm possibility to recognize the negro as the accident happened in the dark. There is, 10 this accident two things that need attention. The first the inefficiency of our lighting facilities. No complaints having been made neglect has jumped into the clothing that should be worn by diligence. The other is in regard to the ladies, with all respect to their knowing how to keep vigil over that in their keeping, Style has caused many woman to lose many a yalu- able article, and the ladies when shopping at night should either re- fraia from one of two things, either don | flourish the beautiful pocket book. if you do, have nothing Tn il; and the other is when out alone and without an escort don't carry so much money.

Trouble Grew Out of d Memphis Papers Cotton Guessing
 Contest.

Saturday afternoon al l.30 Post master R c. Jones, of Rotau, Ark, appeared before United States Com missioner Burnett of this city to answer the charge of using the mails to defraud.
 District Attorney for the Vest cru Division of the Eastern District appeared in behalf of Uncle Sam Smith c. Martin defended Jones Jones plead not guilty.
 The case occupied the attention of Commissioner Bunett for over three hours, The bostofiice inspe tor, Mr. Hall was the main witness for the prosecution, be having had the matter under investigation. The facts, it appears, were all on paper, the inspector testified from record solely and from his ski.lful knowl- edge. Belng in said position for over l5 years, he said that he did not know that mans wife cou'd not testify against him.
 To make long story short the of dcial finding and allegations con- tained op paper lacked corrobora- tion, hence, after all tbe evidence  was in, the attorney for the prose cution agreed with Mr, Martin that there was nothing under the law to warrant a conviction and the sCom- missioner further agreed by dis missing the case and finding Jones "not guilty.
