The interior arrangement of a barn
is of the utmost Importance, since on a
proper arrangement depend the con
venience and economy of time in do
ing the work. It is well, therefore,
when building barn to sit down with
paper and pencil and make interior
plans. When plan has been made go
to work and do the Chores right
there in the plan. Feed the stock, wa
ter it, care for it in every way as though
in thereal barn, and you will very quick
~ find the Inconvenience of the plan. 1t
is much easier to change a barn inte-
rior on paper than in the actual barn,
and very much less expensive.-N. Y.

Of course dogs are still the standby.
They are always pets. 1t is only the
variety that changes. This season the
dog that is the greatest in demand is
the little Pomeranian. His original
rs the French bulldog, but he has
been bred down to such an extent
that his own mother would not recog-
nize him. The English fanciers have
got him SO that a good specimen will
not weigh more than four pounds.
The real Importation comes in solid
-colors-brown seal, black, cream and
blue. He somewhat resembles the
Boston terrier, except that he is a
much handsomer animal and that his
ears extend out broad, like a bats.
Then there is the japanese spaniel.
He is still favorite. as he has been
for some time. The other varieties of
dogs remain in about the same rela-
tive positions that they did last year.

WITH GRANT AT LOOKOUT.
What the General Said just Before

Mountain.

I was an orderly on Gen. Grant's
staff, writes Congressman Freer, of
West Virginia, in Success, and was
sent one day with dispatches on his
fine little black horse, loaned me for
the occasion. AS I returned with the
replies I rushed around a bend in
the road into what looked like a full
brigade of the enemy. I wheeled and
started to run for it, with, it seemed
to me, every "reb" in the lot shoot

around that bend in the road. Then I
made a record-breaking time to our
camp. I ran up, all covered with
blood and dust, and handed my dis
patches to a lieutenant, who gave
them to the general. After reading

turned and looked me over in his

Looking for the Right Man.

A correspondent of the Nebraska
Farmer says he asked a professor in
school of agriculture if he knew
young man competent to take charge
of herd of pure-bred stock. It was
not a question of wages, but question
of the right man. This professor had
under his eye in his classes probably
$50 young men. After considerable
hesitation he said: yes, think
could name one young man; but sever
al men are watching him, with a view
20 offering him a higher position and
one of greater responsibility" And
yet there are plenty of young men,
graduates from schools of agriculture
and other schools, who complain that
they are not appreciated because they
are offered no more wages than com
mon laborers.

SHE IS STUCK.
The Steamer Hallette Held by Moth
 CT Earth (sand) at Rob Roy.

We have at last secured truthful information regarding the steamer Hanette, which left New Orleans for Pine Bluff last Saturday week ago, and which was booked to ar rye here last Friday or Saturday.
 She is stuck. The steamer is in charge of Capt. Matt Downs and reached Rob Roy last Sunday eve hing. This as is far, up to the pres ent, as she has gotten, for the sim pie reason that she ran ground and is helpless until the water rises or she is gradually worked off or unloaded and foated off.
 The Hallette draws three and one- half feet of water. The Arkansas is very low just now and three feet of water is all that was found at Rob Roy, hence the Hallette's delay.

FEATHER WEIGHTS TO BATTLE TONIGHT IN NEW YORK-THE LITTLE
 ]" NiGGER,"
GEO, DIXON ys. M'GOyERN
Both Clever Men-The colored Boy Saws Wood and
 Fights. ,

Tonight the accommodating man. ager of the roof garden, MI. Mickie Holland, will receive by rounds "direct from the ringside, , the fight of George Dixon and Terry McGovern, which will occur at the Broadway Athletic Club in New York. The admission is free and after the fight seasonable lunch will be served. Speaking of this fight a well known sporting writer says:
 "Dixon has been in the ring for twelve years, first striving for and then defending the feather-weight championship, always fighting clean and fair and doing bis very best. He has put down champions of England and Australia as fast as they were sent against him, and his battles are numbered by hun. dreds. In all these years be has been knocked down only once, and be has Learly always defeated his man.
 "But in spite of his great reputa. tion, the betting is strongly against Dixon, the odds being 10 to 6. Not for ten years has he failed to be the favorite in any match, but now wagers are laid at even money that Dixon will be knocked out before the close of the tenth round. Dixoa does not fear knock out now. The betting does not frighten him. He is as confident of defeating MeGov. ern as he ever was of defeating any man he ever faced. But all that can be drag1ed out of him about the fight is
 "'I don't know. I guess I'll be there at the finish. I've got noth- ing to do but fight, and I'll do my best. More than this the colored boy eaonot be induced to say. But his actions show the importance he attaches to the fight. For this fight be has trained more carefully than for any fight he has engaged in since he went to New Orleans to meet and beat Jack Shelley in 1892 Always a willing worker, he went about the task of training for this contest with the eagerness and light, heartedness of a school boy starting off on vacation"
 McGovern is clever man. He has gone against and put on
 Queer Street" as many as three men in one night, and thls wonder ful feat was accom- plished in New York only dew weeks ago. The three men were fast and furious and had regulations to back them. McGovern is confident of victory in this battle and his friends assert their confidence with money-and lots of it.
 The contest tonight is pronounc- ed one of the most puzzling to iudg- es that has taken place in years. Both men have whipped numbers of good nen and bear excellent rep- uta tions as fighters. The result is awaited with much interest.

He JUMPED The NAT
Thief Takes S107 From Office
of A. Nj. Richards.
AT NOON YESTERDAY
Got Into Office Without Ring
ing Door Mat Bell.
NOON YESTERDAY

The Office of A. NJ. Richards, at 149
North Main street, was burglarized yes
terday noon while Mr.. Richards and his
son, A. C. Richards, were at dinner.
Owing to the fact that his brother, J. A.
Richards, owns the furniture store IN
der his Office, Mr.. Richards is not in the
habit Of locking his office door at noon,
and it seems that yesterday he also for
got to lock his safe, which contained
slO7. However. the office is well guarded.
as there is, just inside the door, mat
which is connected with cell in the store
below by an electric wire, and no one
can get into the Office without being
heard by some one in the store.
The burglar must have known Of this
arrangement and jumped over the mat
and got into the Office without ringing
the bell. All he had to do then was to
transfer the S107 from the safe TO his
pocket, get back over the mat and make
himself scarce.
When Mr. Richards returned after din
ner he discovered the robbery and at
once notified police headquarters. De-
teetive Cairns was put on the case. He
got a description Of a man who had been
seen going up the stairway during Mr.
Richards absence, but had got no trace
of the man last night
