been a feeling of increased firmness in
the dry goods market, due to the higher
prices for raw cotton. With continued

ities, a higher level established for piece
goods. Some new prices have been made

Mr.. and Mrs. o. ]. Durand, Jr.,
left Tuesday for Patoutville, TO
spend few days with their parents.
1t is rumored that Rev. Bogusr-
to of New Orleans, q priest who
occupies a high rank among the
priests, will be appointed as rector
of the church at this place, TO fill
the vacancy caused by the death
of Father Langlois.
The town authorities have at
last a force of men at work in our
bitches, which are nearly all fitted
up, having been sorely neglected
during the past two years. 1t is
some satisfaction, however to see
the new administration going to
work, as we may expect that they
will drain the town and put the
streets in passable condition.
The town authorities held q
meeting Wednesday; they have re-
duced the police force from two to
one policeman, and they have de-
cided to work our streets by con-
tract. We fear the contract sys-
tenn will cost too much and will
not give satisfaction, as the condi-
ton of our streets as they are now
would demand repairs in certain
places before they can be tho
roughly worked, and to try and
repair same without first making
bitches in order to establish q
good drainage, will simply be a
waste of money.

A Christian (!) Monarch.


Certainly civilization should
have civilized and Christianity hu-
msnized the Emperor Of q great,
an intelligent, q moral and a Chris
tian people. If Germany's Lord
is not civilized, then indeed it is q
sorrowful failure. If Christianity
has not reformed the savage in
stincts of 80 exalted a parsonage,
then should we pause and inquire
where the wrong is in its religious
teachings and its influence.
When the German contingent
Of troops was about to sail for
China the German Emperor adj
dressed them in these words:
"That a people like the Chinese
should cast to the winds interna-
tionsl rights q thousand years old,
and treat with scorn the sancitity
of an ambassador and the rights
of hospitality in a manner SO hor-
rible, is unprecedented in the his
tory of the world. Every civiliza-
ton not founded on Christianity
is sure to be brought to naught
So I send you all. May you prove
| your German efficiency. devotion
and bravery. Bear joyfully all
discomfort and upheld the honor
and glory Of ourAarms. You must
set an example Of discipline, self
domination and self-control.
IF you close with the enemy,
remember this: Spare nobody.
Make no prisoners. Use your
weapons so that for q thousand
years hence no Chinamsn will
dare look askancoat any German.
Open the way for civilization for
all"
The address concluded as fol-
lows:
"The blessings Of the Lord be
with You. The prayers Of the
whole people will accompany you
in ell your ways. Ny best wishes
for ourselves and for. the success
of our arms will ever follow you,

Mail Sack Was Stolen.

Springfield bankers, jobbers and manufactures have received d pe- cuiiar assortment of mail, says the Springfield Leader.
 It consists mostly of envelopes which have been opened and are returned to the writer with an eX- planation that the letters had been opened by unauthorized parties.
 As consequence post office inspectors are swarming around the vicinity of Eureka Spaings iH the hope of finding a elew to the mail robbery which occurred ons the Eureka Springs railroad sev- eral days ago.
 Just what was obtained no one knows, but it has been learned that checks and drafts addressed to local firms were obtained. Payment on these has been stopped. It is not known Wheth- CT any cash was obtained or not, but it is quite likely that some money was in the sack.
 There is no mail train on the Eureka Springs road. The mail is carried to Seligman by the railroad company by 8 contract. At Seligman the mail is turned over to the regular postal cars on the Frisco. It seems that the Eureka Springs road for years had been carrying the mail in a baggage car and never before met with an accident.
 Two days ago when the train got to Seligman 1t was discovered that the sack was gone. An in~ vestigation followed and the mis- sing sack was discovered in the woods. It had been opened and torn envelopes showed that the thief had gone through all the mail. The debris was packed up and sent back to the writers in order that they might take such acton as they could to protect themselves. AS a result there IS considerable hustling around among some of Springfield's business men to-day.
