the Show.
SHOW AT TOWN OF ALTHElMER.

Sheriff James Gould and Deputy
Sheriff Mason Phipot returned last
night from Althelmer where they
were called to adjust the trouble that
the officers at that place had gotten in
to with one NJ. l.. Clark who runs a
sort Of circus. Clark has shown in
two places in Jefferson county without
obtaining the customary license OF
500 for circuses and when he at
tempted to show at Altheimer yester-
day was arrested for not paying the
license Clark claims that his show
was not a circus, and wanted to pay
a license fee of only $5. This fee
was refused by the officers at Alt
heimer and Clark was placed under
arrest. His show is very small one,
but he has several wild animals and
comes under the circus class. When
Sheriff Gould first received the tele-
phone message from AItheimer he
took a force of eight deputies to assist
him in capturing the crowd. They got
all but one man. the one who runs
the shell game in front of the tent.
This fellow got away, but two others
were taken in charge for gaming. They
gave their names as F. J. Smith and
]. O. Lane. AS the proprietor fatty
refuses to pay the 5000 which is due
the county for the two performances
he will be locked up in Jail to await
trial. Justice J. p Knox has the cases.
The show is still at Althemer in the
hands of the officers, while the pro-
prietors are at Pine Bluff Just what
to do with the circus while the cases
are pending is a question which is
giving the officers a little worry

There is in a Philadelphia household
two little children, boy and a girl

NOR. Hts gentle and wise witticisms
make Philadelphia laugh often
A very young girl one day said to
him:
II have been told, sir, that a touch

that to use rouge is wrong. Will you
give me your opinion on this matter?"
Some" said the archbishop, "hold
that there is nothing pernicious in a
little rouge, while others regard the
use of the cosmetic as vulgar. To me
it seems best to steer middle course
between these two opinions and I

She Was Not Delicate.

A certain rYcn woman Of Phil.
adelphia, who bears the reputa-
tion Of a Mrs. Malaprop and misuses
her English with fine disregard of
the proprieties, was staying with her
daughter at an Atlantic City hotel.
One evening while seated on the hotel
porch, she overheard two young men,
who were unaware of her presence,
discussing her daughter.
That Miss Blank is very charming
girl" said one. Don't you think so?"
Yes was the reply. "But what
pity she's SO delicate"
This was too much for the mother,
who prided herself on her dauhgters
good health.
"Delicate!" she broke in; "my
daughter delicate! why, she's one Of
the most indelicate girls ever saw in
my life."

COTTON MOVEMENT

SECRETARY RUSSELL'S REPORT
At this time the general movement

At this time the general movement

no difficulty in hauling. owing to the
and the good condition of the roads.
All were prepared to move the cotton
as Soon as il was picked and the sup
ply is coming in rapidly The free
movement is offset somewhat, how
ever by the slow sale. There seems
to be a concentrated action on the
part Of tAe aainners all over the coun-
try to 5ed Gown the price. and the
dealers have not been able at this
time to get the prices they ask for
their holdings. The selling price this
year is from cent to cent and a
halt under that at the same time last
year, ard for this reason very little

planters coming into the city say they

no crop at all after this date
The staple of the cotton that has
Deen picked is somewhat better than
that of last year, but planters say the
season is not far enough advanced to
determine the grades.
The trouble that was at first ex-
pectel on account of the pickers is
no longer feared, as labor is plentiful
and many planters have more help
than they can use Most of the grow
ers are keeping right up with the crop
as it opens. and in this way keep from
getting rushed.

Maintained the Courts Dignity.

postmaster General Rayne was de-
scribing an old-time Milwaukee Judge,
who had been noted for his kind heart.
'1The court crier had served with
fidelity for many years, but age was
beginning to tell on him. He fell
asleep, and in little while was snor-
ing.
Oils snores, of course, disturbed the
proceedings of the court. The judge
displayed great tact in interrupting
them without embarrassing the crier
''Crier Jones, he said in a loud
voice, 'Crier Jones, some one is snor-
ingNHssH Hli
"The crier awakened. He started
to his feet.
Silence, he exclaimed. There
must be no snoring in the courtroom
and he glared ferociously about him."

His next visit will probably be made
to Dewitt, in Arkansas county, where
there are some old books and records
which show the first transactions by
which the Louisiana purchase was
consumated. Very few people living
in the state know that the deal for
the purchase of the Louisiana tract
was made in Arkansas and that the
very spot on which these papers were
signed is in Arkansas county. near
Dewitt. The old record, in the quaint
Spanish handwriting, are still pre-
served, and Mr.. Ellis will visit Dewitt
and endeavor to get them for exhi-

of cotton, grown on the very spot
where the original purchasers stood
and purchased the whole vast tract
OF land from the gulf to the Canadian
line, will also be secured and placed
en- exhibition.
Mr. Ellis left on the evening train
for Little Rock. but expects to return
to Pine Bluff in about three weeks
when the samples of cotton will be
ready for him.
