at fifteen, and, though he may not inn

Rod when the mind receives impress

most tenaclously. The technic of amy

that they anticipate their life work as

Actor Suicides.

The body of white man about 60 years of age, supposed to be s. R. Gayord, of Los Angeles, Cal, was found under a tree near Helena with bullet hole through the head. On the tree was a mirrow, which had been used by Gayord in aiming the shot that ended his life, and near his body was a revolver. Gayord went to Helena and registered at a hotel as being from Iowa, but all his cloth ing bears marks of Los Angeles mer- chants. His general appearance and a paper of dramatic school at Los Angeles found in his grip lead to the belief that he was an actor.

NEWS OF ARKANSAS.
Crop Conditions.

For the week ending July 7 Sec ton Director E. B. Richards, of the Little Rock weather bureau, fur nishes the following summary of crop conditions in Arkansas:
 Fair weather generally prevailed during the week; light showers fell in isolated localities. Corn has felt the effects of the recent heavy rains, causing it to make a very rapid growth, and in many instances too much weed. In sections where heavy and continuous rains occurred the crop is becoming grassy from lack of cultivation, as the ground has been too wet to work, but, on the whole, the crop is in good condition, and is doing well. No damage by insects has been reported. Corn has im- proved during the week, and a full crop is apparently assured. In those localities where considerable lodging had been caused by the heavy rains and high winds of the preceding week, it has strengthened up very much, and the damage is not as great as estimated. Wheat thrashing con- tinues; the yield is, as rule, below expectations, although in some To- calities an average crop of good quality is harvested. Oat harvesting is about completed, but thrashing has not yet begun. There has been no improvement in the indicated yield. Fruit conditions are practi- cally unchanged. Apples continue to fall, but peaches present fair pros poets.

The town was aroused and all the escaped prisoners recaptured. Simms and Nolan were condemned to die for murder, and their cases were af- firmed by the supreme court last week.

WHEN JUMBO II. SNEEZED.
Great Was the Commotion Caused AttsF
 Half Hours Preparation.

Jumbo II. sneezed, says the BaltE- more Herald. To the average person this information is of no startling importance, but to those who hap pened to be on the midway at the Maryland Industrial exposition, Pennsylvania and North avenues, when Jumbo sneezed the event was one long to be remembered. Jumbo's sneeze is like the bursting of boiler, and it created fairly goodsiZed panic The elephant began to get ready for the sneeze half an hour be- fore it happened, and as the time for the event drew near he was rolling about in his cage in great agony Suddenly he stopped, gave one below and then sneezed.
 The look of perfect contentment on his face after the great event was in startling contrast to the terror seen on the faces of the fleeing peo- pie. Visitors to the exposition were running in all directions, not know ing what awful thing 1t was they were racing away from. Among the Mohammedans of the Oriental and Cingalese villages Jumbo's sneeze caused wild excitement. Oriental folk are most superstitious about ele- plants, and they believe to hear one sneeze brings all kinds of good luck They rushed to Jumbo's cage and, lowing low before his elephantine highness, began praying at rapid rate. When they finished they ex- plained that an elephants sneezes are of the rarest occurrence, and the event was one of great significance to them. Elephants are susceptible to cold and catch cold easily, but it is very, very rarely that they sneeze.
 Capt Miller, Jumbo's keeper, says it is good thing that this is so, for a few more sneezes like Jumbo had bmight blow the top of his head off.

MADE KEYS WITH HIS TEETH.
Convict's Ingenuity in Producing Means
 of Escape from Prison.


 Will Render, negro who escaped from the city prison year ago and was recaptured recently, came very near escaping again the other morn- ing, says the Atlanta (Ga) Constitu- tion.
 Render had two pieces of bent wire, taken from water buckets, of which he had made skeleton keys which can open any lock in the prison. It Is now known that housed similar wires when he escaped before
 A fellow-prisoner told on Render by writing note to the turnkey. When Render was searched the wire was found secreted on his person.
 Iron buckets are used to supply the prisoners at the police barracks with water, and the buckets have heavy wrought-iron handles. Render re- moved two of the handles, and with his teeth bent them into the shape desired. The turnkey, after taking the wires from Render, tried them i'll the cell door locks, and had no diffi- culty in showing back the bolts.
 The making of the keys out of the wire, and with no implement ex- cept his teeth, showed Render to be a decided mechanical genius.
 A year ago Render was arrested for COW stealing, and he and another negro escaped from the city prison in a most mysterious way. It was be- lieved the turnkey had left door open, and he was suspended for ten days. When Render was caught he stated that the other fugitive opened the doors with skeleton key. This was told to throw suspicion from him. self. He will now be kept closely guarded.
