Rev. R. s. Deener was first ar rested on June 3, 1893, at Newport, Jackson county as he alighted from the Batesville train, on charge of forgery made by Hon. Paul Butler, then assistant prosecuting attorney He had then been pastor of the M. E. church at Batesville for nearly three years, secretary for two years of the White River conference of the M. E. church, and grand prelate for two years of the Arkansas Grand Lodge of Knights Templar.
 Deener is about 37 or 38 years of age and is nephew of Bishop Malla- lien of the Methodist Episcopal church. He is brilliant and cultured and a fine pulpit orator of singular power and one of the most popular preachers ever sent to Batesville. While in Batesville he was always engaged in business ventures of some kind outside of his church affairs. He owned the Arkansas poultry farm, eighty acres of land in the suburbs of Little Rock, and some farming lands in Lee county, and his wife also had an extensive cotton plantation near Marianna, in Lee county.
 The correspondent of the Little Rock Gazette, from which the fore going has been taken, visited Deeher in jail the other day and he gave out the following story of his years of exile:
 "Sheriff Hinkle caught me at Hunt ington, and have been gone from Batesville about ten years. went to Chilpancingo, Mexico, and went into the drug business and had a good business until last February, when my drug store and two young men who were my clerks were buried together
 in a volcano. It is a wonder I and my wife were not killed too, but it happened we went out to a rope walking that afternoon, as it was on Sunday. 1 was in two blocks of the edge of the volcano and a number were killed, i'll fact, nearly all who did not go out to the street exercises were lost. My drug store was total loss, and l lost everything in the world I had. My wife has some rela- tives at Marianna, Lee county, and had some business interests there to see after, so after our misfortune we decided to return to Arkansas We returned in March and she is ow at Marianna and does not know l am a captured man today. went to Hunt | ington, Ark, where my cousin lives, and was there on visit. I was not expecting Sheriff Hinkle at all and I was there on visit and was going from there into the mining regions of North Arkansas and try to make some money, and was then aiming to give up and stand my trial, but have had hard time and my life the past ten years has been hell on earth to me.n

Cows are as different as are people.
There are some cows that the mixer
can make friends of easily. There are
others that seem to have not the
slightest desire to be on terms OF
friendliness with their ov;7lers or with
those having the care of them. Some
cows will obey any command that they
understand, while others show uncon-
uuerable stubbornness. We one day
saw a man attempt to lead a stubborn
COW into a barn. The COW braced her
feet and no amount Of whipping or
pushing could get her into the barn.
She Q the day. There r few cows
of that kind, perhars. but they serve
to emphasize the great difference that
exists in bovines. The degrees Of in
telligence are no less numerous than
the degrees Of stubbornness. The wise
breeder will take cognizance Of this.
and will breed only from animals that
show desirable traits.

quired to turn the pages Of a book.
The chief feature of this idea, how
ever, lies in the index arrangement,
as, were 1t not for this index, 1t
would be necessary to slow down the
revolution of the sheet to c a the
names from time to time, in order to
locate the desired words. This index
is a narrow printed strip, whose char
acters pass in front Of a small slot in
the face Of the cabinet, and the actu-
ating mechanism is geared down to a
point which makes the characters
pass the slot slow enough to be easily
caught by the eye, even when the
sheet of names is, travelling at its
highest rate Of speed. When the
proper character is reached the cor
responding section of the sheet is pre-
scented behind the glass face Of the
cabinet. Provision is also made for
the insertion Of periodical sheets of
corrections and changes of address,
and the machine may be 10 arranged
as to permit the free use of the pages

advantage be applied to dictionaries
and other works of reference.

A horrid snake broke up a picnic

Story Of Man Instrumental In Breaking Up .. KNIGHTS Of the
s5 Golden fCIrcle.'

For . third Of q century an exile
from his home in Kentucky, through
fear Of IN avenging hand, Felix g.
Stidger found mercy at the hands Of
Judge Kohlsaat at Chicago because Of
the part he took in breaking up the
famous knights Of the Golden Circle
during the civil war, thus doing the
country an invaluable service.
The defendant had pleaded guilty to
indictment for writing improper let
tiers to persons in Charlottesville and
Goshen, Ind, and was awaiting en-
,tence.
This man rendered good service to
the cause Of the union at q critical
time" said District Attorney Bethea,
and on this recommendation the court
suspended 3 fine which he had i'm
posed. Stidger's service In the war
Of the rebellion Is q part of history.
His name is enrolled among the gov
eminent secret service agents who
were detailed in 1864 to learn the
plans OF this notable organization Of
southern sympathizers.
Stidger says he was followed for two
years by . hired assassin, Bob Spruce,
and that his life would be in peril If
he were to go to Kentucky, his former
home, as surviving members Of the
Golden Circle" would kill him.
" I served in the United States army
from Oct. s, 1862, to Feb. IA, 1884,
said Stidger, when I was honorably
discharged on a surgeons certificate
of disability, having taken part in the
battles Of Chaplin Hills, KY, Stone
River and ChickaFnauga, Lookout
Mountain and Missionary Ridge. May

C~aicalating Cream Of . Certain Richness
From Farmers Review: A let
ter from q cream seller contains
the following question, will you
please tell me how to figure out the
amount Of cream to take and amount
Of skim-milk to take to make a certain
amount Of cream Of less density; for
instance, II I have q great deal OF
cream testing 50 per cent and want
only six gallons, Or AZ pounds OF 20
cent cream, how much cream and how
much skim-milk must I mix togeth-
err" p.
As I understand part Of the ques-
ton it is, how many pounds OF
cream testing 81 per cent tat mus you
use in order to make six gallons, or
4S pounds, of cream containing 70 per
cent fat?
This can be figured as follows: In
48 pounds Of cream containing 20 per
cent fat there are SO pounds OF fat.
This is found by getting 20 per cent
Of the 4S pounds. Now II you have 81
per cent cream and want to reduce 1t
to 20 per cent cream the first thing
is to find out how many pounds OF 81
per cent cream must be taken In order
to get go pounds Of fat; this may be
done by the following proportion:
~ 32:100: :9.6:X.
Carrying out the calculation by multi
plying SO by 100 and dividing the
product by 80 we get 80 pounds, show
ing that in 80 pounds Of cream testing
80 per cent fat we will obtain the 9.6
pounds Of fat which is contained In AZ
pounds or six gallons Of 20 per cent
e S%ubtracting the 30 pounds
from 4s leaves is, SO that our final
result is, to add Is pounds of skim
milk to 80 pounds of 80 per cent cream
and the mixture will be 4s pounds or
six gallons of cream containing ~ per
cent fat.
II the question means how can you
reduce 80 per cent to 20 per cent
cream, it may be answered as follows:
Suppose you have IS pounds OF 81
per cent cream and want to ind out
how much 20 per cent cream this will
make. First, find how many pounds
Of fat there are in the IS pounds OF 81
per cent cream; carrying out the null
tiplication-85 by 81, gives 27.2 pounds
of fat. The next step is to find out
how much 20 per cent cream this 27.2
pounds will make. This may be cal
culated by the following proportion:
Multiplying 27.2 by 100 and dividing
by 20 gives 1876 pounds Of 20 per cent
cream, which the 27.2 will make. The
answer. then, Of the question-how
much 20 per cent cream will IS pounds
Of 80 per cent cream make?-is. that
to Sc pounds Of 80 per cent cream you
should add 81 pounds Of skim-milk.
and the mixture will give 1876 pounds
Of 20 per cent cream. Such calcula-
lions may seem somewhat complicated
but they are comparatively simple
when made by first finding out how
many pounds Of fat there are In a
given quantity of cream; this Is OBJ
tanned by multiplying the weight OF
cream by its test; then from the
weight of fat thus obtained determine
by a proportion how much cream test
ing any desired percentage this
weight Of fat will make.-E. H: Far

The MANY sided Poultry Man.

The Many Sided Poultry MAN.
The successful poultryman must be
many-sided. Poultry raising Is a COM
plicated business and requires a good
deal of knowledge Of a good many
things. This knowledge is not ac-
quired in a day. Poultry diseases must
be known to q very considerable
tent, and this requires thought and
study. The knowledge Of the diseases
must be supplemented by the knowl-
edge of the best conditions to prevent
them. The poultryman must be ia
miliar with the chemical constituents
Of feeds and understand the balancing
of rations. He must be able to dis
tinguish the different breeds and
should know something Of the stan
dards Of perfection. His knowledge Of
all the experiments with poultry
should be complete. No poultry book
of. value should be outside of his IL
brary. To possess himself Of the
knowledge obtainable by reading he
must devote a good deal Of time to
this branch Of his activity. Then he
must be familiar with the markets
and with the methods Of men that buy
fowls and eggs. Moreover he must
have a large stock of information as
to how to run an incubator. This is
a hard thing to procure, az 1t requires
much loss of time and material finding
out what things are necessary to be
done to insure success To these
things must be added attention to in
Vulnerable details. Because the poul-
tryman must be many-sided, many
that attempt to be poultrymen fail.
The man that goes into the poultry
business should. do so with his eyes
open. He must expect to have to
learn. and to learn one thing at a time.
