CARD FROM MIR. ARD.

To My Fellow-Citizens and Sup
 porters:
 | am anxious to use this meth od in expressing to one and all my sincere thanks for your friendship and support in my last candidacy for the office of representative of Jackson county.
 While I did (by choice) take upon myself the farm side of life, II began to realize the need of a farmers say beyond the ballot box. As procrastination is the thief of time, thus it behooves the man who stands without the ring to understand now these combined forces of wrong are expressing the true-blue of our Southern Democracy until we will not know ourselves from the slaves of olden times, except in color. As lovers of man dealing honestly with our fellow man let us not stand in the error of our own way, but vindicate the jus tice of our cause to a victorious finish.
 Again thank those that gave willingly their defense to me in the principles I represented and the frauds I endeavored to ex- pose.
 Yours for the betterment of Arkansas government,
 J. U. ARD.

There is a big difference be- tween the cost of making a first class sewing machine, embodying the best materials and workman ship, and one which is made in the cheapest manner.

CROOK STEALS HOLBROOK'S
VALUABLE DIAMOND PIN
vention of Cruelty to Animals
MOurns His Loss.

A pickpocket is no respecter of per-
sons. Charles B. Holbrook, secretary
of the San Francisco Society for. the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, has
learned that fact to his cost. Yester-
day he reported at police headquarters
that while he was on a car on Tues
day night three men crowded against
him at Third and Market streets and
jumped off, almost Immediately disap-
pearing in the crowd.
Being armed with his badge of au-
thority emitting him to arrest trans
gressors of the law, he never imagined
that any crook would be bold enough
to touch" him. He discovered his
mistake when he reached his home.
His diamond scarfpin, valued at $3.50.
was gone. Then 1t occurred to him
that the three men who jostled against
him OH the car at Third and Market
streets had stolen it. He gave the po-
lice an accurate description of the pin
and Captain Martin has instructed De-
tectives Harper and Armstrong to
keep a sharp lookout for it in any of
the. pawnshops.
Detectives Thomas Gibson and Dick
Bell arrested three men at the park
yesterday during the Knights Templar
drill and placed them ON the detinue
book at the City Prison. Their names
are Hugh Trainor. Clay Marco and An
thony Melody. The police claim that
the three are suspicious characters.
Trainor has been in Jail several times
for bunko work Detective Charles
Brown Of the Central station rounded
up a half dozen men last night and
booked them for vagrancy. The pris-
oners are known to the police as drunk
rollers" characters who live by rob-
bing intoxicated persons on the dark
streets in the Barbary Coast district.

Wives of Officers
Officiate at Re-
ceptions.

Golden Gate Commandery again re-
ceived in Golden Gate Hall yesterday
afternoon and last night. Owing to
the fact that the conclave is in session
in the lower hall the reception yester-
day afternoon was held in the upper
hall. The rooms were elaborately
decorated for the occasion and string
orchestra furnished music. Cooling
drinks, most welcome on a day of
blistering heat, were served.
The attendance during the after
noon was not so large as usual at the
receptions of Golden Gate Command
cry, owing to the fact that the con-
clave was in session and also because
many of the ladies who have enjoyed
the cordial hospitality dispensed at
these receptions had attended the drill
III the morning and were resting in
their rooms.
The wife of one of the officers acts
as hostess each day. Yesterday this
duty fell to Mrs. w. L. Growell, wife
of the senior warden, who proved a
most charming hostess and made all
feel at home.
