THE NEXT GEAR.

Alexis, you Alexis, what a luckless
wight you are;
Though you probably don't know it, you
are born to be car.
For you no drousy croonings when you
go to bed at night,
But cradle songs with motif carried out
by dynamite.
They VIII send you bombs for rattles
that will make the incest noise,
But they may prove somewhat hurtful
in the hands of baby boys.
Alexis, small Alexis, you have made
dear papa smile,
For he's advertised, 'Boy wanted" all
in vain, weary while;
But don't fancy that your uncle will be
overwhelmed with JOY,
When the throne he wants is collared
by a hairless, toothless boy.
So if Nunl1y gives you candy, though it
tempting be and sweet;
Try it on a duke or baron ere bite you
dare to eat.
Alexis, young Alexis, though it's likely
that you think
That you have all kinds of trouble learn
ing how to breathe and drink
Long before those small pink tootsies
have grown brave enough to walk.
Long before your mouths eroded by
your lands three-cornered talk
You will find how up against it in this
world you are
And you'll wonder why the mischief
you were born to be car.
Alexis, wee Alexis, dry those tears and
don't you fret,
Your not car of all the Russias yet
!, awhile, old man-not yet.
And perhaps those tiny fingers lying
there in shell pink rows,
May shed blessings on your people and
they need them, heaven knowsl
Maybe your the patient Moses that
they've prayed for for so long
To deliver them from darkness and from
greed and spite and wrong
So curl up there in your cradle-what's
the difference what you are?
Who would scold dimpling baby, tho
he is to be carl

Arlington after hearing the evil dence in the case yesterday afternoon.
 The negroes are now in the County iaI, charged with highway robbery.
 The evidence brought out in the trial was almost conclusive of the negroes guilt and they probably have a term in the mines awaiting them. Dean is A Ia. borer and Tolliver Is a butcher. Both are well known in police circles,
 Mir. Boyd positively identified Dean as the man who struck him on the head will some blunt instrument as he was passing through an alley on Bell Street between Venable's and Pettus's stores, renderint him unconscious and later, as he lay or the ground in a semi-conscious condition as bending over him with his pocketbook
 When he gained consciousness he wa lying in a horse trough in an unoccupiet stable in the rear of Venable's store.
 He could not see Tolliver's face but say his back as the negro ran away and wa practically sure that he was the negr, with Dean. Dean thought him irrationa and told Boyd that he had been in tn stable several days and that the pocket book was being taken for his board bill.

Attention is called to the advertisement of the Merchants and Planters-Farley National Bank of this city and the invita- ton extended therein to those contem- plating making changes in their banking arrangements or opening new. accounts. The bank named has the largest capital, surplus and deposits of any bank in the city. and ample resources to care for its large clientage and such new customers as 1t is daily acquiring At the recent meeting. of its shareholders. the retiring Board of Directors were reelected and MT. Sigmund Roman elected to fill the va cancy occasioned by the death of Mir. s. c. Marks and an inspection of the per sonnel of its board shows the staunch backing the bank enjoys
 The official management of the institu- ton remains the same as last year and that in itself insures the liberal, careful yet conservative policy. of the institution. The business of the Merchants and Plant ers-FArley National Bank seems to be continually increasing. its deposit line at this time being very nearly three millions of dollars, with a cash reserve much larger than is usually carried by Southern banks. -adv.

be noted, may 1t please the court" said Haley.
 Justice Jones noted the exception.
 Worth B. Beacham, a boarder at the Magnolia Hotel, was next called. He tes- tified that on the night of the attempt to robbery, he was sitting in the hotel of flee, the front room on the lower floor of the west side of the building with J. w. Bennett, the proprietor. Shortly after 9 o'clock, he heard a scuffle and a cry of murder" Arising from his chair, he saw white robed figure dart through the front part of the hall turn westward and run down the west alley way. At the same time, MT. Bennett threw up the off, flee window, and jumped through 1t in hot pursuit. The witness hurried to the front porch and glanced down the alley. He saw the white robe futter and then lost sight of it. # In a few seconds, he said he heard Mir. Bennett cry. "Stop him. stop him. he's hit me with a brick and is coming up the alley" The witness peered into the aI- ley, but saw nothing, He heard win dow raised and a scrambling, as If some one was entering 1t. He then heard the window slam. -.z.
 Called pr. Haley. Tn a few seconds MT. Bennett came in with his head bleeding profusely. After conversing not less than ten minutes with him, the witness knocked on the de- fendant's door. It was partially opened. He was told what had happened and came out to dress the woundS~of- the injured men. At first sight he thought the figure was that of a woman but later saw that 1t was a man of Haley's build.
 On cross examination by the defendant, MT. Beacham testified that from his po- | sition on the porch he could not see the window of Haley or any other window except the first one. He did, however, command a view of the alley and no one could have passed either up or down the alley without being seen by either Mir Bennett or himself. He saw the bath robe when it was picked up. It was about le feet from Haley's window. The "billy" was directly under the window.
 The State rested and moved that the dispositions of both MT. Bentley and MT. Beacham be copied to be used in the cases of assault to murder against Ha- ley.
 To this Haley objected. He wanted to examine the witnesses in every case and wanted no irregular action.
 Counsel for the State argued that if was useless to kill time in that manner and described the objection of the de- fendant as without rhyme or reason.
 Haley persisted. however and the testi- mony Of MT. Bentley and MT. Beacham will again be taken.
 The bond of Haley was fixed at sEOO in default of which he was committed to Jail. ~ The cases charging assault to murder on MT Bentley and Mir. Bennett are set Tor to-day at g o'clock before Justice Jones. ''O0

THEY WON'T QUIT.
FTaternaI Insurance League Still Busy
in Kansas.

The state insurance department is
still having trouble with the Fraternal
League a fraternal beneficiary or
ganization of st. Louis, which Superin-
tendent Luling refused to admit to do
business in Kansas. The officers of the
league insist on coming in. They seem
to think that Kansas is not already
over crowded with fraternal insurance
organizations, and that it would have
a fertile field here.
Some time ago superintendent Lul-
ing discovered that the Fraternal
League was doing business at Salina,
Wichita, Topeka, lola, and Whitman.
He wrote to the officers of the concern
at st. Louis informing them that they
must desist from trying to do business
in Kansas as it mad no authority to do
so. The concern then filed an applica-
ton for admission, but it was turned
down because the total receipts from
an assessment would not be sufficient
to pay the smallest policy issued by the
league. While the application was
pending the company continued to so
licit business in Kansas, and now it
continues to insist on being admitted.
1t is given out at the insurance depart
Tnent however, that if its agents try
to solicit any Kansas business the at
torney general will be asked to begin
prosecutions at once.
