VERY EXCITING EPISODE

Charles V. Baehant who has since last June been in this city in the em- ploy of the Cotton Belt as engineer, was arrested here Tuesday afternoon by Special Agents Altman and Hen- messy, of the Great Northern railroad, on the charge of grand larceny. Bacn- box car on the Great Northern near De Sota, Mo, and relieving il of a large quantity of silk. Several others were implicated in the crime, but they have all been brought to justice
 Bachant has been very successful ill eluding the authorities but a clue was at last obtained as to his where abouts, resulting in his capture here Tuesday,
 He is incarcerated in th" Jefferson county jail, but will be carried back to Missouri
 Bachant laid in jail last night, an! none of his friends had permission to call and see him. He is very popular among the railroad men, and this angered them. Today prior to the time the north-bound train was to leave the detectives called at the jail and the prisoner was delivered to them. AS soon as this was known some of Bachant's friends importuned Gen. H. King White to represent Bach ant and try to stop what they thought were rather irregular proceedings with reference to him being taken away. Gen White went to Judge A. Bachant was to be taken away with out the requisition papers of tho de- tectiveS being examined, and asked 1 that their papers be investigated be- 1 fore permitted to leave Pine Bluff with Bachant. Judge Grace, however, had already consented to let them go, ant Attorney Sorrells, who signfied his willingness and determination to stop them. Jumping into carriage, White and Sorrelis went to a magis- trateS court, secured warrants and a deputy and dashed down to the depot in time to apprchend the detectives in i their efforts to leave with the prisoner
 Sorrells approached the detectives and introduced himself as the prose cutting attorney and requested Detoc- tive Hennessy, who had Bachant in charge, to remain over until the mid night train in order that the requisi- ton papers held by him could be in yestigated. Hennessy strongly de murred and as the train was pulling out Sorrels ordered the arrest of Hen messy, and tho deputy constble read the warrant, charging h,m with the false imprisonment oi Bae hant Hem messy was taken in custody and he and his prisoner are both in the city yet. | Bachant was placed back in jail and
 Hennessy was released on his own rec l ognizance awaiting the investigation of his papers. Shouid same be found correct, the detectives will leave to- night, if not, the charge Of false inn prisonment will have to ae answered

mother. ''We would then perhaps be
less annoyed by those mosquitoes"
Why? Do the mosquitoes dislike
dragon fiies?" asked Archie.
q should think they might" mother
replied. Just watch that big fellow"
Several mosquitoes had been buzzing
about in the shade The gayly co,ored
insect soon discovered and made dive
for them. Then, gobble, gobble-every
mosquito disappeared down his throat,
The children gasped with admiration
of the dragon fys dexterity. Then,
lazily and indifferently as he had come,
he few away.
All afternoon he lowered around the
veranda, and when evening came
Archie announced that the dragon fly
had gone to sleep on the rose bush.
The next day several other dragon
flies appeared, and the mosquitoes,
which had appeared in swarms after
the Tain, were visibly thinned in their
ranks.
The mosquitoes seemed to be aware
that the dragon flies were their enemies
and would in every possible way seek
to escape, but once the fly sighted his
prey there was no escape.
The children's mother said that she
had heard that dragon flies were fond
of fresh fish, and perhaps if few frag-
ments were placed upon the veranda
they might be induced to remain in the
neighborhood.
The boys eagerly set out for the near
est stream and soon returned with
minnows. These were placed where the
dragon flies find them, but the in
sects paid no attention to them. They
seemed to prefer diet of mosquitoes.
The children were anxious to make
pet of one of these beautiful insects,
but they were not able to capture any
of them.
One afternoon when they went out to
walk their mother took them by pond
in field over which hundreds of in
seets were lowering.

the bowl.
So it was. The baby dragon fly stood
as near to the top as it could get, and
mother advised tnat the screen be re-
moved. It perched on the side of the
bowl, and the children had good
chance to watch it. Presently the back
appeared to be splitting open, and a
head appeared, then a long, slender,
beautifully colored body, sparkling In
crimson and green and silver. The lit
tie insect gradually emerged from the
old skin a dragon fly all save the wings,
which in the course of few hours 1t
gradually shook out from its sides and
dried. In order that it might not fly
away Archie placed an inverted sieve
over it, through the wire of which he
could watch it's movements. In the
morning when they got up it was
buzzing about as If begging to be let
out.
Lifting the prison from the beautiful
dragon fly, they saw it float joyously
off through the sunshine, a menace to
all bandit mosquitoes whom it might
meet.

TO CURE PILES.
A Remedy That VIII Do 1t and II
Perfectly Safe.

\ Remedy That Will Do 1t and
Perfectly Safe.
We do not intend to endorse any
except articles of real merit. We
therefore take pleasure in calling
attention to new pile cure which
has been remarkably successful in
curing every form of itching, bleed
ing or protruding piles. The rem
edy is known as the Pyramid Pile
Cure, and is recommended by the
best medical authorities on account
of it's absolute safety, ease of appli-
cation and instant>relief from pain.
The Pyramid Pile Cure contains
no opium or other poison, and does
not interfere with daily occupation
while using. People who believed
nothing but surgical operation
would cure them have been aston
ished at the results from a single
so cent package Of the Pyramid.
Mrs. Mary c. Tyler, of Hepner,
Ore, writes: One package of Pyra-
mid Pile Cure entirely cured me of
piles, from which l have suffered
for years, and l have never had the
slightest return OF them since.
Mr.. E. O'Brien, Rock Bluffs, Neb.,
says: The package of Pyramid Pile
Cure entirely removed every trace
of itching piles | cannot thank you
enough for it.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by
all druggists at so cents per pack

Archie suggested that he would like
to see the transformation. So mother
said:

of the field. l noticed one there as we

With great care she lifted the insect
and the mud into the can. and then she
tipped UP the edge SO that she could
slip some water into it.

THE MILK CONTROVERSY.

Prof Chester Suggests That the Result of
the Analysis be Published Periodically.
1t is the opinion of some people who
have given the matter thought that the
new milk ordinance, which is being
drawn by City Solicitor David j. Rein
hardt, at the request of Milk Inspector
Walter A. MpEvilly, will hardly cure
the !. defects in the existing law or
remedy the evils complained Of, pro-
yided Its main provisions are on the
lines which have beer mapped out.
There is no intention. in making this
comment, in finding fault with either
the inspector or solicitor, as both are
actuated by the one desire to give the
people of WILMINGTON pure milk which
shall measure UP to healthy and
wholesome standard.
The present law requires milk TO have
at least IL. . per cent OF solids, of which
at least 81 must be fat, and makes
the maximum percentage of wstery
matter 81, while in the new ordinance
it is proposed to give little more lee.

wntery matter will be allowed; the
minimum for solids will be II per cent
and of fat 3 per cent. Aocpsding to

tion, and II the mir rimum percentage
of fat is to be 3 per cent the natural
proportion Of total solids, he believes,
should be II. 3 per cent.
Prof. Chester also believes a single
standard cannot serve the purpose de-
sired, from the fact that all COWS do
not give milk of the same standard.
llolstein COWS give milk, as a rule, be-
low the present standard, while some
other COWS give milk above the stand
ard. lie suggests that there be no fixed
standard at all, but instead that the
milk inspector be provided with the
means ior making regular analysis Of
all milk sold in tbs city and pub fish
the result periodically, thus showing
the contents OF the milk sold.
As to the use of formaldehyde and
other foreign substances it is generally
admitted thc L such adulteration should
be prohibited and that there should be
heavy penalty aud rigid enforce
ment OF the law in that regard. For it
ia very truly said thar when the people
buy milk they want pure milk and not
a mixture of milk and something else.
