JAY MR, VAN CL|EF The Officers Have Failed to Find Him at Little
 Rock AND IT IS NOW THOUGHT HE WENT FROM HERE TO
 MEMPHIS. Beat Several Creditors and Also Went Away With a Borrowed Diamond and Dress Suit.
THE LIST OF HIS CREDITORS

Harry Van Clief, the prepossessing young machinist who left Pine Bluff for greener fields last Friday morn- ing, is proving equally as successful at evading the officers as he was n neglecting his accounts.
 MT. Harry Solmson. Chief of Po- lice Craig and Prosecuting Attorney w. B. Sorrells spent Friday night in Little Rock in search of Van Glef Early in the evening they commmenc. ed systematic search of the city. Every resort and public place in Lit tie Rock was visited by the officers. but no trace of their man could be found. The officers are now of tha opinion that he left Pine Bluff for Memphis instead of Little Rock, as at first supposed, and the Memphis al thorities have been notified to looi out for him
 As time elapses the number Of his creditors increases. Before leaving he borrowed full dress coat and vest from H. C. Bluthenthai < Co. H. owed l. & & katzenstein %950 for I paif ef shoes ami pair of pumps. He owed ,. T. Lloyd & Co., $25 for , rented gun. Other creditors suffering from his departure are as follows: ,. M Bailey, S2 H. D. Spratt. $50. Will Riley. SC; Mrs. c. F. Coe $26 He made an effort to purchase an overcoat from kastor & Bluthenthal,
 but that firm had learned that he had quit his position, and refused to cx- tend his credit
 Probably the most crooked piece of work he did was to leave with valu- able diamond, tho property of one Of Pine Bluffs young society bellcs. The stone was valued at $150.
 Should Van Clef ever be appre- hended he will be sevrely dealt with. as he can be convicted on several charges.

A pierc- Ing wind from the north is blowing. making the cold appear doubly severe. The weather bulletin sent out from Washington, D. C, Saturday morn- ing was as follows:
 Sunday fair with temperature zero or below by Sunday morning.
 The bulletin was posted at the post office and attracted much attention. inadvertently that eventual Sunday in February three years ago was thoHahtHof by many persons upon reading bulletin The thefemom- eter on that day fell te i2 degrees be- loW zero, and the river was complete ly frozen over Zero weather is rara- ly seen in Arkansas
 An old settler of Pine Bluff. in con Versaton with a.Gfaphic =rcpfesenta- tive. said that during his forty years residence in Pine Bluff, IT. had onIv seen the river frozen over foHr times. The codcst weather he had oyer seen in Arkansas durino his lanfr residence here was in February, 1899.

VIGOROUS MEASURES To Be Taken by the Board of Health to Stamp Out
 Disease OF AN INFECTIOUS NATURE SAID TO EXIST IN THE
 CITY. Lakeside School to Be Fumiaated and Closed Till After Holidays
 Are Over.
OTHER MEASURES TO BE TAKEN

For some time it has been reported that smallpox had again made it's appearance in Pine Bluff and was spreading rapidly over the city. The aetlon of the board of health, which met Saturday afternoon at the city hall not only verified the reports of smallpox being prevalent, but devel. oped the fact that cases of diptheria, scarlet fever and other contagious diseases, were present in Pine Bluff. The meeting of the board was prob ably one of the most important meet lngs ever held by that body, and good is sure to follow from it's action. The board is thoroughly awakened to the needs of the situation and will wage an uneeasing fight against smallpox and all other infectious diseases.
 The president of the board. Df. Jo!= dan, presided, over the meeting. ln &5feW introductory remarks he said that the board was again confronted with a grave situation. Smallpox and other infectious diseases hal been reported to him. as president Of the boar. and he thought that tha situation demanded immediate atte1. tion. All of the members present took an active part in the discussion of tho situation.
 pr. Crutcher reported that there smallpox on Lakeside. which he had treated. He was of the opinion that tn Leaheside school should be closed fol several days. and thoroughly fumi- gated. Some of the children who had She disease had attended the school. and he thought that it was the safest course to pursue. His ideas wer ac- quiesced in by the entire board of health and the following motion was made ond carried:
 Tt is moved that the superintendent of the public schools be directed ;o
 
 after the holidays: and that in the meantime the proper authorities fumigate the building and tear down the calsomine and replace it with @ew; that the citizens. as well as the physicians, co operate with the boarl of health in it's effort to stamp out thA dpisease'
 X motion was made by the mayor and amended by Dr. Crutcher to au thorize the mayor to issue a printed proclamation requiring physicians to report within twelve hours all cases of dlpththeira. scarlet fever, smallpox. or other contagious disease; and re- Quiring citizens to report all cases Of sore throat accompanied by fever that are not attended by a physician
 At prior meeting of the board of health a committee was appointed U eco that pest house for white people be built On account of a cOmbina- tion of circumstances, it seems noth- ing has ever bee1 done about new pest house AS it is evident that there will be need fer one the president ordered that the new pest house Aa built at once.
 Dr. Calruthers Vho has been loof.. ing after several cases for the city, was engaged to serve as a city phy- sician. He will have charge Of the fumigaticn of the Lakeside school.
 Such active measures as those taken by the board Of health are nee assary for the future welfare of the city. and every citizen should sho ' the board of health every encon2e@ cent possible.

SYNOPSIS OF PRECEDING PORTION.

This great story of sensational conSpl-
racyswhich makes Burr's life unique i'll
American history is explicitly set forth in
this Remarkable serial In 1904 Burr,
then tice-PreSident, was candidate for
the GovernOTShip of New York, was over
wheliningly beaten, and as the result of
the election picked quarrel with and
killed Alexander Hamilton. The histon-
cal characters involved in the story are
drawn true to life, and include, beside
Burr, Mrs. Samuel Chick of Albany, Paul
Livingston, Samuel SwartOut. hatchery.
a scheming attorney and banker of Al
bany; Harry Granger. a romantic youth,
who had fallen under the influence of Burr
in the East, and who by miSfOrtunes, in
Guiding the death of his father, had been
impeled TO migrate to the then infant
State of Ohio, and Jem Bounder, poor
New Jersey coast fisherman. who had been
acquainted with Granger in the East. Be
sides, there are some minor characters,
more or less typical of the times. Burr's
term as NicePresident having expired in
March, 1905, and as he was under indict-
ment for murder of Hamilton in both New
York and New Jersey, he went West and
organized the conspiracy 10 found great
Southwestern Empire. Associated with
him i'll this plot were BlennerhasSett. Gen.
Wilkinson, and others of more or less
prominence. Harry Granger was sent by
Burr to Albany with secret message to
hatchery, and while there renewed his
acquaintance with Miss Livingston, whose
father had been ruined through the trick
cry Of the scheming old banker. He was
given cipher letter by DateheIg. but re-
turning West he found that Burr was still
in Washington, SO went TO his own home
in Ohio

Meanwhile Harry Granger, according
to orders, had made his way to Marietta
and awaited the arrival of Burr. He
found Samuel SwartOut, Dayton and
many others on hand, all busy getting re-
cruits and acting in a confused, uncertain
manner, hardly knowing what was expect
cd of them, but prepared to go anywhere
Col. Burr might lead. Such a firm hold
had that bold, bad man on the young men
that they were deaf TO all rumors against
the character of his expedition, as they
were blind to all his faults.
Harry Granger had been in Marietta
two weeks, when one day he was told that
Il man wished to see him.
Its only me. Harry" said honest Jack
Moore, who stood by the side of his pant
ing horse, leaning on his long barreled rifle,
for Jack was armed from head TO foot.
when did you come, JackE Harry
asked.
Just now"
"You come TO join Burr's army?
"Yes. It's all over with me, Harry. l
want to be knocked on the head, and the
sooner it's done the better. If you are a
friend of mine, help me to shake off this
ere mortal COLL
why. JackY'
s'It's all on account O yer sister, Harry.
But don't blame her No; God bless her.
She is an angel and l am fool, Harry.
Yes, | thought that such an angel as she
might love me, you know; yes, L was just
fool enough to think it. but she don't. She
pities me, Harry; | know she does, for
such a woman as Edith can't do no wrong,
but she can't marry me, and you don't
blame her, do you, Harry"

Why Admiral Dewey's Son is Not a Sailor.

II boy has no inclination to become a
sailor, | should certainly not encourage
him to become one; and even if he has the
desire, should make sure that it is not q
temporary craze for adventure. Many
boys who ship aboard a vessel when they
are 10 or 1G are very sorry for it a few
years later. To be really successful in the
navy, man must have his heart in the
work, and a young man who dislikes the
sea can never distinguish himself in the
service. My son is not in the navy. The
reason is that he seemed to have no incli-
nation that-way. and l refused to spoil a
good business man in making poor sailor.

that he indorscd for his father-in-law. The

New York were not backward in aiding
him. From one source and another a sum
of money was raised, which at the lowest
estimate was $4,000, with assurance that
more would be Forthcoming if needed.
That inimical admirer and fiatterer, yet
