RATHBUN MAY
 BE RELEASED.

The people of Little Rock are interested in the report that comes from Louisville to the effect that Newell c. Rathbun will be released from the Indiana penitentiary on Christmas. The case in it's day was one of the most sensational in the country, and attracted national attention because of the peculiar condi- tions. He attempted to defraud the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company of Little Rock of $4, 900 by palming off the body of a tramp, whom he is charged with having killed, as his own body. It was drought to Little Rock for burial, but the fraud was dis covered and a profound sensa- tion involving Little Rock, Louis vile and Jeffersonville ensued. Rathbun was convicted of the murder and given an indetermin- ate sentence of from two to four teen years.

Wednesday evening at 6 o'clock. Col. Morrow was well known all over the state as a man of ster- ling worth and fixed integrity, faithful to every trust that was ever imposed upon him, whether his duties were heavy or light. From state treasurer to the more humble positions which he filled, his actions were always charac- terized by earnestness, eXactness and fidelity.
 It is beftting that we show our respect to our departed citi- Zen and friend, and therefore 1 would request a suspension of all activities in the various state departments for the day, and that the flag be suspended at half mast.

NULIN VOID
 SIGNED CHECK.
Judgment Against Endorsor of Bogus Check At
 Little Rock.

Little Rock, Dec. 19. The Citizens bank of Little Rock was yesterday given judgment in the second division of Pulaski circuit court by default against c. H. Omering for $50 and costs, the judgment of the justices court being affirmed.
 The story back of this suit is an old one. Omering is a hack man, and some time last June was engaged by a well-dressed woman to drive her around the city. Finally she stated she had a check she wanted cashed and asked that he drive her to a bank, which was done. She took the check into the bank and the teller refused to cash unless she be identified. She called Omer- ing in and he, saying that he knew her, was asked to endorse the check, which he did below the endorsement of the woman, whose name was Bertha Grooms. The teller paid the check, which was for $50 without further ado, and the woman rode away.
 The check on which the Wo- man received $50 was drawn on the Citizens bank of Dexter, Mo-, but the printing of the name of the bank was very much like that of checks used here by the local Citizens bank, the color of the paper also being the same. The check was made payable to Miss Bertha Grooms for $50, and the dollar mark and the figures 50 were there, but on the line be- low, instead of the word fifty" before the word dollars" the word windy" was written. The check was signed 'Nulin Void. !"

REPAIRS TO OLYMPIA
TO TAKE THREE MONTHS
Vessel Damaged at Oyster Bay Now
in Dry Dock.

NORFOLK. Va, Sept. 1.-THE cruiser
olympia went into dry dock yesterday.
The vessel has suffered such serious
damage that she will remain here two
months before she can join in the win
ter maneuyers off Culebra II is not dis
closed that her frame is weakened by
contact with the rocks at Oyster Bay,
and there is no structural weakness,
despite the storm encountered coming
here.
The dent IN the Olympia's bottom is
forty-fve feet long, and from every seam
after she was placed in dock, the water
poured in torrents. The double bottom
forward OF the engine room was filed
with water all the way down the coast
and the water-tight buIkheads were
closed in that section OF the ship.
The scraPing the ship received is
clearly seen from underneath. the rocks
having ground her plates in for the
depth OF a foot. Some Of the navy yard
experts say that it will require three
months to repair the Olympia. Mean
time Admiral Coghlan may 90 to New
York.

.CHASE'S PLAYHOUSE
MADE NEW THROUGHOUT
One of the HandSomest Theaters
South of New York.

Chase's Theater was opened for in
spection last night and those who at
tended agreed it is one Of the prettiest
and most attractive theaters in the
country. Several thousand dollars has
been spent in improving the property
and the increased beauties are we'll
worth the money spent upon them.
French renaissance was the scheme
selected for the interior decorations and
il has been admirably followed. Ruby
red. ivory white and gold are the coIors
most in evidence and give delightful
effect. The walls are a rich red with
flower decorations in imitation of ivory.
The decorations were put on by George
7. Thompson and are the best he has
ever done in this city.
Next TO the auditorium in beauty of
decoration is the entrance. The front
porch IS finished in black and green,
with gold leaf. The lobby. with its ruby
wall and ivory trimmings, is extremely
attractive. The entrance drawing room
Is also finished in red, while two new
stained glass skylights add greatly to
the effect. In addition. there arc palms,
paintings. and the sculpture work
The repairs, however, have by no
means been confined to the front part
Of the theater- Four new sets of scenery
have been added, including three in
rerior sets and one exterior set. The
dressing rooms have been remodeled and
recarpeted, and even the retiring room
for the orchestra has been improved.

REFUSAL
OF GIFT RESENTED
Boston Girl Who Sent Flag Doesn't
Like Him Any More.

BOSTON, Sept. I1.-President Roose-
velt's determination not to accept pres
ents from private individuals has not
been accepted in its intended light by
Marie Costeau. the Boston girl who
sent him a silk. handwOrked Ar<rican
flag, representing an outlay OF $50. 1t
took the young woman a long time to
make the flag. in which $50 900 stitches
were required, and the refusal of the
gift has caused her 10 utter some strong
comments on "ingratitude"
For months Miss Costeau, who is
twenty-five years old has been working
over the flag with the finest materials.
Every thread was chosen with care, and
the forty-five stars embroidered on their
blue field each cost 81.
Il worked on my poor flag so hard, "
said Miss Costeau, "and thought, Of
course. he would take it, l wrote that
was French girl, but had lived under
the Stars and Stripes long enough to
love the flag and the noble institutions
it represented
Then I sent it away, but it came right
back. A note from his secretary said
he could not accept it. l think il a
shame that. no matter what else he
might refuse. he could not have taken a
flag. My regard for him is much
changed l won't do any more for such
an ungratefuI President"

WITHDRAWING NATIONAL
BANK CIRCULATION

Applications for Withdrawals of ma
tional bank circulation for October are
beginning to come in to the Treasury
Department. The $4,000, 600 limit on
Withdrawals for September has beer
reached and yesterday applications for
Withdrawals in October to the amount
of S15O.OOO were presented. AS long as
Government bonds continue high, it is
expected the movement for reduction
of national bank circulation will con-
tinue.
Effects of the high bond prices are seen
in the difficulty the depository banks Sc
lected by Secretary Shaw before he left
Washington are having in buying bonds
for security. Deposits aggregating 1885,
600 were given TO six banks that quail
fed yesterday.
