WANTED BEER AND TOOK IT.

August Deglise and Partner Purlolned
 Half Barrel of FireWater.
 Heading the slate at the central sta- tion yesterday appeared the name of August Deglise, arrested by Policeman Doughan on a charge of theft. The theft. it developed, consisted of the ille- gal appropriation of one-half barrel of beer. the lawful property of one Joseph Orbonwiz. Deglise and another man, named Smith, united in purloining the liquor and both started in to empty the reservoir. The police were notified and Officer Doughan set out on the warpath for the men with the over-developed firewater instinct. Smith escaped. Deglise landed in the lookup with a charge of theft against him. The fate of the beer is not recorded.

BELIEVE BILL IS
 DOOMED TO DEFEAT.

Hon. Gustave Jones, w. D. McLain, o. D. Watson, T. s. and Dr. G. K. Stephens, Dr. E. L. Watson and others were in Lit l tie Rock Wednesday to oppose the Village creek drainage bill now before the senate.
 At meeting of the levee com miMee of that body, with Senator <Harrison of this district absent, oafter hearing arguments by Messrs. Watson and Jones, the committee promised toreturn the bill, recommending unanimously that it do not pass. Whether these are Chairman Harrison's sentiments is doubtful, as the opponents of the bill construe his absence to mean that he is with the other side.
 MT. Jones says the bill is un- constitutional, and should the act be passed there is no doubt but that it would be tested in the courts.

 There was preaching at Sand Hill church Sunday. The writer never visits this church but what it brings back pleasant memories of long, long ago. It was there in 1879 that our career as school boy commenced; it was there we chased the ball from it's hiding; at the old house our little band gave chase to the fictitious deer, and for an hour at noon roamed over the old vine-clad hill. Truly. those were the happiest days of our young life, and we never pass 1 the old church but what some thought comes to us of old asso- ciates, long since passed from our view. We make special men, tion of our good teacher, who is standing far back in the meadow of a well spent life. As leave this old church, with her rustic benches-more than a century old d-and still bearing marks from the 25-cent barlow knife our fa- ther gave us, we follow the quiet path which leads us by the grave of some dear friend who has passed o'er the mysterious river. A moistened cheek and we pass on, thinking that some day this little path will end with us only to re-appear beyond the dark tide after dreamless sleep.
