TIE FIiHT RENEWED
Messrs. Chas. Caldwell and Alvin
 Reap Mix in Restaurant.

The Caldwell. Reap bad feeling that has been existing in this com munity for several weeks. broke out afresh Tuesday night, whea Mr. Chas. Caldwell and Mr. Alvin Reap met in the rear of Fred Senyard's saloon on Second avenue.
 Mir. Reap was sitting at table in the restaurant eatlnq his supper, when, as we are told, Mir. Caldw we'll entered a side door and walking up behind Reap, he hit him several times in the back of the head. Reap jumped up and ran around the table for safety and Caldwell at the same time ran out the door. Officer Gull pepper arrested Caldwell and he paid his fine in the police court thls morning for assault and battery.
 The trouble grew out of a letter. which Caldwell alleged Reap had sent his wife several months ago. It has been only a few weeks ago that Caldwell went after Reap with gun at the latter's meat market on Main street and by good sprinting. Reap escaped unhurt. Reap was unarmed at the time.

times not to make the attempt, for if he did, the guards would shoot him, but Moss appeared to have paid no attention to the advice. One day last week several prisoners, in cluding Moss, were out in the tim Der cutting wood, After they had eaten their dinner the guard crder- ed them to go to work Moss swore he would not work any more and picked up his ax and made a break for liberty. The guard ordered him to halt, but Moss kept on running, when the guard fired.

VIE ARE IN LINE.
And Come Second in Arkansas With
 a Board Bill Jumper

The first crime of board bill jump ing has been docketed in Pine Bluff. It is not 3 case of the State ys. Moyse, but the case of Richardson ys. Peterborough.
 The offender and arrest as told to us is as follows: MT. T. E. Roxbor- ough has been n the employ of the Cotton Belt at this place for the past several weeks as brakeman. During his residence here he has been eat. ing at the Richardson Hotel and when he received his check recently from the Cotton Belt, his board bill, as is natural, fell due. Instead of paying iJ he ''blew" in his slugs and told the hotel proprietor that he wasn't in any hurry to pay him.
 The hotel man went to headquar. ters to gar nishee bis wages, but much to his disappointment found that Peterborough had resigned. He immediately sought the new "pro- t4ctlon" recently rendered the hotel men of this State by the last Gener al Assembly, and now Peterborough IS in the Jefferson county Jail await ing trial.

Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought of using
anything else for indigestion or bill
iOusness. Doctors were scarce, and
they seldom heard of appendicitis,
nervous prostration or heart failure,
etc. They used August Flow
er to clean out the system and stop
fermentation of undigested food. reg
ulate the action of the liver, stimulate
the nervous and organic action of the
system, and that is all they took when
feeling dull and bad with headaches
and other aches. You only need a
few doses of Green's August Flower,
in liquid form, to make you satisfied
there is nothing serious the matter
with you. Sample bottles free at 7. Fl.

ADJUSTMENTS.

All modern melo-dramas that have
gained success and renown have be-
come famous by some particular scene
or mechanical effect. a certain clev-
erly contl wed incident is almost sure
to dominate the popular play of today
and pave its way to fame and fortune.
The Cherry Pickers." which will he
seen at Harper's theatre Sunday even
ing, is one of the most successful of
recent productions and is no excep-
ton to the Iule. Its intensely thrill
ing third act. located in the gun room
of the great fortress of Cahdahar,
India, is now deservedly famous
wherever melo-dra ma is known The
remarkable series of incidents which
are rapidly upfolded in this stone
chamber are brought to a tremendous
climax when a prisoner chained to a
revolving cannon slowly and deliber-
ately trains and fires the gun upon the
hero. All this time the Afghans have
been furiously storming the walls of
the castle. 1t is an act IN which real-
ism runs wild and which aroases un-
bounded enthusiasm. The Cherry
Pickers'' is a truly novel play, CAPT
tally enacted and magnifcenIly staged.
struck 4 steady gait in his play writ
ing. He is turning out one successful
play every wear. William Gillette has
great facility in writing and could
evolve a great many more plays if he
were simply anxious to make record
for quantity of work done and not
quality. but he does all his work con-
scieniiously. aiming at the most per-
feet and effective results, and SO is
content to give one play a season to
the public. So far all his plays have
been good and have succeeded, which
shows that Mr.. Gillette's judgment OF
the standard that the public requires
has been correct. The authorize
tor, whose latest work. the COM
edy, Because She Loved Him
So which was produced in New York
last January. and which is to be seen
at the Burtis Christmas. maitIee and
night, has a longer and more uniform
record of successful plays than any
other American dramatist of the pres
ent generation. And the fact that he
has been equally successful in drama,
comedy or farce shows that he has
greater versatility in piaymaking than
any of his colleagues. "All the Com
forts Of Home" Mr. Wilkinson's
Widows" Too Much johnson" Sc
cret Service" and the new comedy,
Because She Loved Him So" were
among the plays that followed Held
by the Enemy" and all of them have
been great money makers and tre-
mendously successful from the artis-
tic as well as the box office standpoint.
. Because She Loved Him So, - is prob
a bly, the most delicate and refined of
all the comedies produced by MIR. Gill
lette's pen. Its wit is of an exquisite
order. and although the piece is of a
farcial order, there is merely the
slightest exaggeration in either the
or situations. Everything
