Schlierholz Dismissed d.

The sectetary of the interior has suspended from office Charles A. M. SchlierholZ, a special agent of the general land office. on charges involv- ing the integrity of his investigation of depredations on government lands in Louisiana. It will be remembered that several years ago Schlierholz was active in this state in cases in which allegations of timber cutting were made. He was also assiduous in cases of alleged fraud in soldiers additional homestead entries It was stated several weeks ago in an Asso- eiated Press telegram from Washing ton that charges of bribery in connec- tion with his duties in Arkansas and elsewhere had been preferred against SchlierhOlz. It was added that the charges had been investigated by the interior department and that the re- port was adverse to Schlierholz. La ter the report was circulated that friends of the accused had received advices of his exoneration and if his assignment to an important mission in the west. United States officials who were associated with Schlierholz in this state, who were asked thelr opinion, praised him as an efficient and honest official

Needle in sody Quarter of Century

That a needle can be carried in ones body for twenty-five years. dur ing this time working it's way from place to place and cause no great pain, seems strange, but such was the experience of George Flippin, citi- zen of Little Rock. While doing some sewing one day the mother of Flippin stuck her needle in a lounge and went into another room to get some thread. Before her return young Flippin came in from school and lay down on the lounge. He felt slight pain in the side. but paid no attention to it, think ing he had merely received a scratch Mrs Flippin did not find the needle, and she supposed it had gotten lost Two years later young Flippin felt a pain in his skin over the stomach. as if something was sticking him. and. taking off his clothes, he found d hard substance about an inch and a half long, and which seemed to be a needle or pin there. It did not come near the surface, and could be felt for a year. Then it disappeared and he for got all about it until a few nights ago. MT. Flippin was undressing for bed. and, in pulling off his undershirt. felt it catch against something about the left nipple. He stepped to the light and. to his surprise, saw something shining, and looking more closely, saw it was the head of a needle It was the work of but a moment to catch the needle and pull it out No blood flowed from the wound. as the needle lay lengthWise, just under the skin. with the point toward the neck He suffered no i'll effects from the cx- perienee.

Collision at Malvern.

The Iron Mountain northbound can non ball train was wrecked at Nal yern by flashing into a string of box cars on a siding. No one was serious ly injured, but several box cars were demolished and the passenger engine was badly damaged The collision was due to a misplaced switch It seems that some one had opened the switch after the arrival of the Fl Do rado train. There was no light on the switch stand, and the engineer did not know of the misplaced switch until after his engine had turned from the main line into a siding Seeing that a collision with the string of boxcars was unavoidable the engineer and fire man jumped and escaped without in jury.

Lowering Temperatures Has Miti- gated the Situation In the
 Flooded Districts.

St Louis. Jan. 24.-RepCrts from va rious points in the flooded districts in-. dicate that the lowering temperatures experienced Friday night and Satur- day have aided materially in checking the rising waters. While damage is yet being done the worst appears to be over for the present, as the waters have begun to recede.
 The most threatening situation was at Philadelphia and vicinity, where a heavy volume of water was rushing down the Schuylkill river, due to the breaking up of the ice, and numerous mills along it's banks at Manayunk and other points were forced to shut down.

Saloon Keepe: Indicted.

The Pulaski county grand jury, in it's final report after session of forty seven days referred to the effort of the officers to suppress gambling as follows:
 We commend with pleasure, and in the highest terms the vigorous action of this honorable court in causing the sheriff of Pulaski county to seize the gambling devices Of certain gambling houses in this city in June. and again in October, 1903. These seizures and subsequent burnings by the sheriff, We believe, have resulted tempora- rily. and We hope permanently, in breaking up public gambling in Lit tie Rock. We made examination of the gambling cases called to our at. tention, but got little information on the subject of actual participation in gambling. We had before us the city and county officers, whose duty it is to ferret out and suppress crimes of this sort, but discovered that they were the same innocent and artless witnesses which other grand juries have found them. In a general way, they had a vague impression that pub lie gambling was going on, but hal never been able to secure any def nite information on the subject. We have returned five indictments against as many different parties believed to be guilty of conducting public gamb- ling houses, as evidenced by the seiz- ures of the sheriff, heretofore re- ferred to. We call the attention of the court to the fact that in all these cases. the gambling houses were run in the same building and in connec- tion with saloon, thus constituting a double offense. There does not seem to be any necessary connection between the saloon business and crime. and if a saloon is run in viola tion of law, it must be for the reason that the proprietor wishes to have t so The privilege of running a sa- loon must be obtained by public con sent, and the saloonkeeper is requir- ed to pay special tax therefor. This being true, does not the granting of a saloon license carry with it an i'm piled mutual agreement that such sa- loon shall be conducted in harmony with the laws governing such mat ters? These jaws prohibit gambling in same buildings with saloons, the sale of liquor on Sunday, and to mi nors at all times If an investiga- ton discloses the fact. as We are sure it will, that any of the parties indicted have been running their ss- looms in violation of these laws con- stantly for several years. will not this court be warranted in canceling the licenses of such inveterate and chron- ic offenders against law and good moraIs?"
