fsCapes from Pen.

J. P. Hunt escaped from Ro- land convict camp several days ago near Natural Steps and is still at large. Hunt is well known in Little Rock. He was serving fve-year sentence for robbing his wife two weeks after their marriage, clipping with $700 of her money and a woman of ill-repute. They went to Cali fornia, where Hunt was arrested and brought back by Constable Jones and Senator Gray. His case was appealed to supreme court to determine the question of the admissibility of a wife's testimony against her husband. Last spring his name was acci- dentally placed in list of par dons, but was cancelled before the proclamation was issued. Before his conviction he con- ducted a saloon at Markham and Spring streets.

sence the night before, and but for the subdued air of reserve adopted by the victims and the faint odor Of turpentine one would never have known that the cots had been previously saturated in that fragrant essence.
 Every one in the party con- tributed to the enjoyment of the week and each did his or her best to add to the amusements, but there is one young gentleman in particular whom we have to thank for the pleasure he afford ed us upon allowing himself to be rigged out in feminine togs and whom we wish to congratu- late upon his bowling success as an entertainer.
 The report hao just drifted down from somewhere up in El- gin that a court is to be called in the rural districts before many moons for the purpose of admin istering punishment to certain culprits caught red handed stealing-who said chicken in this crowd?
 Like the brook we could go on forever and ever, raving nadly about our good time, but under the critical eye of the public it is best to refrain from such mad gushing, so with tears and la mentations we say goodbye to that memorable week which, as all joys must, has passed away, but which like all other notable pleasures has made an imprint on our memory that will not soon fade.

 V. A. Mathews, real estate office, loss small; office fixtures, etc. Building owned by Dr. C.. T. Canada; loss not given.
 The fire originated in the Miser hotel from a defective f1ue, and was discovered at 12:10 o'clock. An alarm was immediately given and everybody rushed to the scene. Unfortunately very little water was available and the roof was soon in flames.
 The losses given aggregate over S30, 1000, and no estimates have been made on many of the buildings, so that the total will be between $40, 1000 and $50,000 The worst of it is that compara- lively little insurance was car ried, and the loss bears heavily on some of the losers. Cotter is a new town, and the blow is a severe one.

REASONABLE TEMPERATURES.
Rains Generally Needed for Late Crops
 Corn Has Been a Good Crop.

Following is the summary of climate and crop conditions in Arkansas by the Weather Bu- reau for the week ending Sep tember 4.
 The temperature was seasona- ble, with local showers. In many sections of the state rain is needed for all late crops.
 Cotton has made little improve ment during the week; it is opening slowly and very little picking has been done. There s considerable complaint of boil worms, sharpshooters and rust injuring the crop and shedding is reported in many localities.
 Early corn made a good crop generally, and is being cut; the late planted is fair to good, but is suffering from lack of moisture.
 Threshing is nearing comple- ton.
 Sweet potatoes a Id field peas are doing well and late Irish po- tatoes are suffering from lack of moisture.
 Considerable hay and fodder of good quality have been saved.
 Apples continue to drop and will be light crop of poor to fair quality.
 Stock is generally healthy and doing well.

Elgin House Part.

In all the history of it's exist, ence perhaps the little city of Elgin was never quite so enliven- led as was the case during the past week when Mir. and Mrs. J. o. Taylor entertained a party of young people at their commo- dious country home in that city in honor of their daughter, Miss Lucille.
 It is needless to remark that had the ancient gods themselves attempted to play the role of hos pitable host on the fabled Mount Olympus they would hardly have met with greater success than that which crowned the efforts of MT. and Mrs. Taylor. Endowed with that most envia- ble quality savoir faire, the host and hostess exerted themselves to the utmost to please their guests, and in response 10 their appreciated hospitality we one and all join hands in thanking them for the pleasure received. We are all so enthusiastic over it that really it is difficult to emu merate the untold joys of that week.
 To begin with, there was fish, ing galore, for, situated on the very banks of the beautiful Black river, Elgin affords an excellent fishing ground.
 The number of fish reported to have been caught when last heard from was 300, but since then it has been increasing so rapidly that no specified number may be safely given.
 On Thursday night some jolly card games were shuffled far into the wee small hours of the morn ing, the prize being awarded to Miss Noreene Kinman, who was made the proud possessor of a package of chewing gum, and MT. Tom billiard, who found himself better off by one of FL gins best cigars.
 Then in thoughtful anticipation of the coming day each weary head went to seek a stray pillow and to dream of dangling from 'u fishing line, at the other end of which sat a large mosquito with horny eyes.
 At breakfast the next morn ing when the boys appeared, rosy, but smiling, no mention was made of the sweet incense of turpentine offered up by so- licitous friends during their ab-

described by the ranchman. Opening IT,,
the first object that met his gaze was
the old blue stocking, familiar to him
from childhood. 1t was now completely
stuffed with crisp, green bills. Replac-
ing 1t, he took tho box in his arms and
returned to tho cabin.
Placing the precious burden upon the
table, he sat beside the bed, calmly
awaiting the time when his patient
should awake. An hour thus passed in
life had been blasted by the thieving,
helpless wretch now lost in slumber. At
last the sleeper awoke. Looking at Jo-
scph, he feebly pointed to the box upon
the table. The young man placed it on
the bed beside him. Painfully raising
himself upon his elbow he opened 1t and
handed him the blue yarn stocking his
mother had knitted with one foot ON his
cradle.
The sick man deliberately counted out
two hundred dollars, and restored them
to the stockng then, with nervous haste,
added another fifty, feebly murmuring:
'The market money" and he again
handed the stocking TO Joseph, who took
1t with gloomy air.
"Now get well, Jack, for want to
take you back to the old Bay State and
make an honest man of you"
A week later Joseph and his strange
companion arrived in Boston. That
night he telegraphed Eliza:
'Am on the way home with thief and
money. Tell mother"
This, then, was the secret of that
silent preparation which had SO mysti-
fed Farmer Sloan.
Thanksgiving morning brought Eliza,
radiant in new furs and brown stuff
| dress. Drawing the old man aside, she
| quietly read to him letter just receiv-
ed from Joseph.

to think that he run down that ar thief
| in Texas. Come to think ont, that ar
fellow was on the road behind me on
market day, but how he got into the
house is the mystery" His eyes sud-
denly fell upon the table which mother
was spreading. 'Six plates and six
chairs mean six persons-who can the
other two be?" And he looked inquir-
ingly at Eliza, who blushed to the roots
| of her black hair.
"One Is for this latter day Judas,
who has caused all the trouble, father,
and-the others for-the minister"
| Before the astonished father could
reply, scream of joy from the mother
in the kitchen was heard, and looking out
they saw her clasped in the arms of her
stalwart son. In his wake was n man,
too feeble to make many steps alone.
The farmer recognized him as Ranchman
Jack. The repentant man reached his
hand to the man he had wronged. II

too happy for speech, pushed her son
into the little sitting room, where sat
Eliza, and quietly shut them in.

FIRST AMERICAN AUTOMOBILE.

The cut is made from an old photo
graph found recently at Racine, Wis,
and is an illustration of the first auto
mobile ever made in America. This
strange looking horseless carriage was
built in 1870, and the designer was
Rev. ]. w. Carhart, who is now living
in Texas. 1t was four wheeled ma
chine and resembled blackboard
with q vertical engine on the rear
axle. 1t was a noisy and erratic con
trivance, throwing shower OF sparks
into the air a distance of sixteen feet
Horses were terrified at its approach,
and it was banished from the public
highway after famous race horse
became SO frightened that 1t jumped
upon tarbed wire fence and was
killed, while its owner was injured
seriously.
