HOT SPRINGS DRY SUNDAY
Even Newspapers, Ice Cream and Cigars Were Not Allowed to
 Be Sold

Hot Springs, Ark, June 23.- The Sunday closing ordinance was univer- sally observed in this city Sunday and never before in it's history was Hot Springs so securely closed. Nothing but the absolute necessaries could be purchased. Ice cream, soda water, candies, fruits and cigars, newspapers, etc, were under the ban. The pur- pose seems to be to disgust the peo- pie with the reform movement re- gently inaugurated here so that they will welcome the return to former conditions. Much indignation is ex- pressed at the extremes to which the authorities have gone to accomplish their purpose.

SEVERAL SKELETONS FOUND.

Stephens, Ark, June 23.- On the farm of 0. M. Smith, one mile east of here, is one of the largest prehistoric mounds in South Arkansas. A few days ago MT. Smith concluded to dig it down and remove the dirt to refill the deep excavation made in building the mound. After digging down some eight or ten feet he uncovered the bones of several skeletons and quite a number of deer horns. The bones and horns were perfect in every par ticular, but were so soft that they could be ground to fine powder by rubbing them between the thumb and finger. MT. Smith will continue to dig away this great heap of dirt until it is all removed, and in the mean time closely investigate the archaeo- logical features of it.

GOVERNOR PARDoNs CRossER

A pardon was granted Wednesday to George Crosser, who was convicted at the January term of the Jackson county circuit court of grand larceny and sentenced to serve year in the state penitentiary.
 Crosser lived at Newark and plead guilty to the charge of robbing 0. J. Sharkey of Tuckerman in this city. When first arrested he was very in- dignant over the insult" but after the stolen property had been found upon his person, he thought best to submit his case.
 What the mitigating circumstances are, which should call for pardon, we know not. In the general opinion there are none; it's only another case of the Governors encouragement of crooks.

PEARL FISHERS RICH FIND.
George Robertson of Bradford Re- ported to Have Found Seventy Five Grain Pearl in White
 River Which Sold for S3500.

Bradford, June 24.- George Robert son of this place found, while fishing for pearls yesterday in White river, the largest pearl that has ever been found in this section.

Robertson divulge it, but it is known that MT. Robertson refused an offer of $3, 100 for the pearl before he finally sold it. It is thought he received $3,- 800 for it.
 Mir. Robertson started his season of pearl fishing yesterday, and had been at work only three hours when he found the big pearl. He will, of course, continue his fishing as if noth ing had happened, but he has already cleared good profit on his seasons work.
 Last season a lad of the Robertson family found pearl which he sold on the streets of Bradford for 1,550. This was the largest find of last sea- son.
 The finds have caused some excite ment in these parts, and an influx of pearl hunters is expected. Already many are leaving their crops to hunt pearls in the beds of White river.
