A GOOD
COMPARISON

Arthur MeEwen, who was editor of
the Eureka New Republican when
Eureka was in its zenith of glory, but
now writer for the San Francisco
Bulletin, compares the spectacle of
FolS,of Missouri and Mayor smitz of
san Francisco riding side by side mp
Market street during the Governors
visit to San Francisco recently, to q
scene that was witnessed on thestreets
Of Eureka years ago. The incident he
recalls will be remembered by all old
timers, and Mr.. MeEwen puts it thus:

when solcitude for her comfort was
shown. She also was bound for Eu-
reaka, and with this common bond the
two became excellent friends. The

A merchant who has two stores
in neighboring small towns tried
an experiment. He. put a bargain
counter in each store containing
the same articles at the same prices,
In the newspaper of one village he
advertised his special bargain sale
counter, and in the paper Of the
other he did not. In one month.
in the village where he had not adj
vertised, he sold 1884 worth of
goods. In the store where he did
advertise, he sold goods amounting
to $l,724. In commenting on the
result, the merchant said:- People
who got the paper with the adver-
tisment would pass by one store
and drive for miles to the other
one for what they could have got
ten for the same price in my store
at their very doors, but they did
not know it was there. Morris

It gives us that tired feeling to
hear a man denounce the town and
country when at the same time
he is making more money than he
ever made in any other place. If the
town is good enough to live in
while accumulating money, it GER
tainly is entitled to receive few
good words. When people get the
idea into their heads that there is
only one town in the wide, wide
world, the sooner they move to
that place the better for all con-
cerned. All the world hates a
knocker, moreso those who live in
a town just for the sake of earn
ing a few dollars for the purpose
Of removing to the "only town.
and not having a word Of praise
for the town. The people are what
make the towns and to run down
the town is to run down the citi-
zens as we'll. Let those who have
no use for the town. or place get
out and give some one else a show,
one who will appreciate a good
thing when they get it.

There is a little paper published
in the penitentiary of Minnesota,
"The Peniteniary Prison Mirror
which propounds the following
questions:-"Why is it., that from
the inception of this paper to the
present time, we have not had an
editor to sojourn in our midst !
Other professions have been repre-
sented. Of preachers, we have had
enough to furnish subsistence to
an African chief for a year; of doc
tors, enough to depopulate a state.
of lawyers, enough to establish a
good sized colony in hades."

A recent ruling of the Secretary
the Interior has created something
of sensation among the attorneys
practicing in the land Offices.
"Where a woman having an un-
perfected homestead entry marries
a man having a similar entry, and
thereupon abandons her claim and
resides with her husband upon his
claim until he offers final proof
thereon, and they then establish a
residence on her claim, long prior
tothe initiation of contest against
the same, she thereby cures her
default in the matter of residence
and is entitled to perfect her entry
In some quarters the ruling of the
Secretary of the Interior is claimed
to be directly contrary to the law
which provides that a woman can
only hold a homestead when she
marries when her husband is not
claiming a separate tract Of land
under the homestead law.

Dam the Missouri.

John Mclean, who lives near
Mandan Lake, is authority for the
statement that beavers are plan.
ming to dam the Missouri river at
that point. Beavers, as we know,
are very intelligent, and through
some occult force may have learned
something about the value of irri-
cation now being so extensively
agitated. The beavers, John says,
have a dam nearly completed, ex-
tending partly across, and are d.
recting their efforts to change the
current to wash away a sand bank
in the middle of the river. The
protection of the beaver may yet
prove a practical solution of the ir-
rlgation problem, as everywhere
the beavers are at work, they have
succeeded in daming the creeks,
and keeping the water the year
around, doing their share of the
sub-irrigation. Now, if Mr.. Mclean
could devise some means to get the
beavers to dig bitches for the dis
tribution Of the overflow, the farm
ers owning timber along streams,
might forgive this Industrious army
of wood choppers, under state pro-
lection, for cutting down trees

HOLIDAY BURGLARIES
AVE KEPT POLICE BUSY WEEK, AND CHIEF ISSUES STRINGENT ORDERS TO THE PoAieE-sUReLARY OF THE BURNED SMART HOME

Tie usual run of holiday burglaries and robberies have kept the night force of the police department pretty busy for more than a week past, and yet despite all the efforts of the off, cers a number of petty crimes of this nature have taken place. Both bur elaries and pursesnat ching have brought out complaint in various parts of the city. But the police have kept the number of crimes of this kind down to the minimum for city of the size of Pine Bluff.
 Wednesday afternoon at late hour Chief A. j. Stewart issued orders af- fecting nearly the whole of the police force relative to these thefts, and Wednesday, Il ght Assistant Chief J. S. Perdue had every available man on the force out all night long keeping watch for the miscreants. They suc- ceeGed in making it so warm for the evil doers that no thefts were attempt ed. and late in the night, in order to make the departments vigilance over the criminal class more effective the officers rounded up every suspicious character in the city. Tn S proved perhaps the most effective method yet adopted by the department for the prevention of these burslaries and thefts of all kinds.
 Chief Stewart announces that he will continue to wage 2 relentless warfare aga nst the vaes and sus.

"Captain Debonaire."

A play of "big parts is Captain Debonaire,' the spectacular romantic comedy that will serve as vehicle for the reappearance of Paul Gilmore at the Elks theater on Thursday, Jan. uary 4. While the gifted young actor las the strongest and most fascinat- ing character to portray that ever fell to his lot, several of the subsidiary roles are of great importance. Thus the star does not shine by contrast. Each part is filled by a player fully capable of presenting it at it's full worth. This only enhances the value of MT. Gilmore's own splendid work, as the latter thus appears as aeon. ponent part of perfectly rounded whole, and not as an artistic piece of charlatanry contrived merely for ef- feet. In full keeping with the charac. ters are the scenery and costumes which reflect beautifully the romantic period of the play-1675 in Quebec and New Amsterdam.
