A FAMILY AFFAIR IN THE COURTS-sUIT OVER $3O,ooo WORTH OF
 PROPERTY.
PRAY FOR A PARTITION
Of Henry Walstein's Property and Ask for Deed of
 Trust.

A suit, which involves property valued at Cver $50, GOO, was filed in the circuit court in this city Satur- day by Attorneys Bridges and Woodbridge, counsel for the plain titfs.
 The suit is brought by Mrs. Amanda Moore, of this city, and Mrs. Theresa Shilling, of Alexandria, La, against Victor and Henry WaIdstein, Carrie Brown and N. w. Kerstlne.
 It will be remembered by our readers that Mrs. Lisette Waldstein, who formerly resided in Pine Bluff, died December '27, 1899, at Hot Springs, at an advanced age.
 The deceased was the owner of a very large amount of real estate and other personal property. h this big estate is 320 acres of fine farm ing land in this, Jefferson county, and a number of valuable business and residence lots in Pine Bluff.
 Mrs. Waldstein was the mother of all the parties interested in this suit.
 Before her death she deeded all the above mentioned property, the value of whict as stated above, amounts to over $30, 900, to her son Henry Waldstein, who, we are in- formed, resides in Hot Springs.
 Now comes the plaintiffs, who pray for division of the estate SC that each interested party may re. eeiVe their just deserts. They also ask that Henry Waldstein be ap- pointed trustee to have charge oI the property, keep book of rent, accounts etc, while the suit is pending in the court and to collect rents from said property
 The rent money IS at present go ing to Henry Waldstein alone ane to this the plaintiffs seriously object
 The plaintiffs also request the court to declare the deed (given tc Henry Waldstein by his mosher Lisette Waldstein) deed in trust
 The suit is peculiar one in many ways and in it are many complca tions. Some fine legal points vii be brought out by the attorneys.

IS CAUSING MUCH TROUBLE AMONG THE GALLlGHAN
 HEIRS,
2 SUITS HAVE BEEN FILED
Rosa A, Gallighan, as Guardian. Puts in Claim w. P. Law
 ton Asks for the Coin.

Saturday there was filed in the Circuit court of Jefferson county suit in which the plaintiff prays judgement for $3.000.
 The suit was filed by attoyneys Bridges & Woodbridge of this city and Sypert & Sypert, of Searcy. The plaintiff is W. P. Lawton, the defendant The Franklin Life Insurss ance Co.,; ct al.
 The plaintiff alleges that the de- fendant issued life insurance poli- ey to Stephen Galligan and bound itself to pay Mary v. Gallighan, his wife, $3000 on the death of the former. Mary V. Gallighan died before Stephen Galligahn. who died few months after the death of his wife, but, before his death oc. cured, be proceeded to make the 5000 life insurance policy payable to their only child. This was done without notifying the insurance company, however, and when Rose A. GaIligan the ehild's guardian, applied for the 5000, she was refus= ed same by the insurance company.
 She Immediately instituted suit against the Franklin Company. as guardian, and prayed for the pay ment of the B GOO policy. The suit is now pending ir the Jefferson circuit court.
 W. P. Lawton, the plaintiff, is the late Mrs. Gallighans father, His claim is based on the fact that he is.the only heir. He says that proper proofs of the death of Ste pEen Gallighan were furnished the insurance company and due demand was made for payment of policy, but the company refused to comply with his request.
 Mary V. Gallighan, so the plain. tiff states, died without making a will and left no debts against her estate. He further alleges that be. ing the father and sole heir of the deceased, Mary V. Gallghan, he is entitled to collect the amount $3, ,000-due by the defendant under the terms of said policy of iusu~- auce.
 There is peculiar and ratber startling state of affai rs attached to the case.
 Rose A. Gallighan has in her pos. session the original insurance poll l cy. She refuses to give same to Laweon or even give him copy of the policy, aud by reason thereof be is unable to file the policy in court.
 Lawton prays iudem for the 8, 900 at the same time stating that the defendant (the insurance com : pany) has a copy of the policy and the terms thereof and they can pay the policy without hesitaney.

SPARKS AND FLASHES.

Electricity as q motor for regular
railway trains has been found Is per
cent. cheaper than steam in the exper-
iments recently made at Berlin on the
Wansee-Bahn.
It is said that the electrical effects
to be exhibited at the Forthcoming
Pan-American exposition in Buffalo,
N. Y, will exceed anything Of their
kind ever shown before. The enor-
nous energy of the Niagara power
plant will be available for the con-
templated Examinations, and this will
mean that food of electrical energy
will be poured in to maintain the
really marvellous display of electric
light that will be shown.
Mr.. 81. Edmunds, of London, has de-
vised means of insulating cables
with paper. His idea consists of thor
oughly impregnating paper with a
mixture of resinous material and OK
idized oils, which are reduced to
thin consistency by the application Of
heat. The paper is then immersed
in this solution and allowed to be-
come completely saturated with the
mixture. When it is withdrawn from
this bath the permeated paper il
wound spirally round the conductor.
The most economical night is that
whose spectrum is confined to the WIS.,
ible rays, and which does not involve
the simultaneous emulsion of either
infra-red or ultraviolet rays. Elec-
trio light marks in this respect dis
tinct advantage on the older methods
Of lighting, and electric luminescence
decidedly so. But no form O.. light
hitherto produced equals that of the
glowworm in efficiency. The light Of
luminous organisms only contains an
infinitesimal amount of heat.
A new telephone fire alarm system
has just been patented. the whole sys-
tenn being operated by magnetic cur.
rent and dry batteries. After the sys-
tenn is once installed the only thing
to get out of order is the burning ont
occasionally of a fuse, which may be
quickly repaired. A separate wire il
used for each fire district, and any
number of telephones may be con.
nected with any district wire. By
means of this system every house and
factory along the line of the wires
can be connected with the alarm wire.
and thus protection may be had at a
low cost. The wires can also be used
to connect with the long-distance tel
ephone for other asses.

LOVE STORY WELL TOLD.


She was pouring at tss that afternoon
and shs looked unusually bswitehing, says
the Smart Set. he was 1tting at her left, In
: bower Of palms that almost concealed him.
he was holding one Of her hands under
cover Of the tablecloth, while she tried
to pour with the other. She did not hook
At him a. he talked, but he knew BY her
color and the little quiver Of the hand hs
was holding that she heard everything no
said. Dearest" he murmured, as she sent
one cup off without spoon and another
filed only with whipped cream, dearest,
If you don't mind my saying all this to you,
lust drop a spoon. Couldn't you manage
itW A clatter of silver and more color IN
the eirl's face, as in stopping to pick up the
spoon he kissed her hand: Spurred BY
this success, he went on: Dearest, if-lf
YOU return it-that il, if you love me, you
know-just put three Jumps OF sugar into
the next cup you pour.,Y -e-s. Or, II you
don't, two, to spell No" One, two, three!
The tiny cup was almost full, and in her
haste to hide her confession she covered the
three Jumps hastily with chocolate and
cream and sent them off. He. asked his
mother as they drove home if she had en-;
loved herself. "Ugh, no" was her disguised
reply. "Such horrible stuff to drink as they
gave one. Why, my cup was half full Of
sugar."

The Chinese situation.

The cause for the present Chinese entan-
clements is not religious differences, but the
abuse of the Chinese immigrants by the for
eign powers. Another great revolution comes
from the abuse of the stomach. Overtaxed
digestion produces constipation, Indigestion,
dyspepsia and fatulency Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters is the best medicine to take. It
will restore a healthy tone to the entire sys-
tenn, and thus prevent nervousness, sleep
lessness or dependency. Don't fail to give
it trial.
