Former Forrest City Man Charged With Criminal Assault on
 Young Girl at Russell.

Searcy, Ark, July Walter Blann. a prominent merchant of Russell. tif teen miles from here, may be a dead man before morning If the threats of moo violence against him are carried out. He is charged with criminally assaulting Eda Roetzel, the s-year-old daughter of a.citizen of that commu. nity. After having been in jail here since the date of the crime. July le. he was released by order of the court this morning, bail in the sum of s5o0 being given by Senator Frank Smith. of Marion. After remaining in town for some hours Blann started for his home, and it would not be d surprise to anyone in this community if he were done 10 death tonight, because the feeling at Russell against him has been running very high ever since the alleged outrage became known. \ iynching on that day was aborted only by prompt action on the part of the sheriff and Constable Albert Moore. the arresting officer, in removing the prisoner to this place. The mob which was forming threatened to come here, storm the jail and secure the prisoner, but Sheriff Woods sent word to Russell that he was ready for the would-be-lynchers, and would greet them warmly when they arrived.
 Blann admits his guilt, it is said, but claims that he was drunk at the time. The physicians that waited on the child state that she is seriously injured
 She is pretty little child, and quite favorite in Russell. The crime occurred ill Blann's store. No one was present, and the child's cries did not bring assiSsistance. As soon as she got free from him she went home and notified her parents of the assault. Physicians were summoned and a warrant sworn out against Blann, who was immediately arrested by the town constable. The next day he was indicted by the grand jury.

KIRKBY-LUNN COMING
Great English Contralto Will Sing witt
Symphony Orchestra.

Tuesday evening, Jan. %, is to be one
of the gala nights of Minneapolis Sym
phony orchestra course of concerts this
season. This -eminence is due to
two reasons, the first Of which is that
it is to be Wagner night, and the sec
ond that it will bring back to Mime
apolis Nine. KirkbyLunn, who will be
recalled as the Kundry Of the Savage
"Parsifal' product on two years ago.
The Wagner music is always delight
to Director Oberhoffer and the players.
The Wagner compositions have always
been great favorites with Minneapolis
audiences and the production of sPar-
sifal'' here was listened to with the
keenest appreciation. That the orches-
tr:. should have the opportunity to pre-:
sent some Of that as well as others Of
Wagner's operas under such happy aus
pices is exceedingly fortunate.
Of Nine. Kirkby-Lunn it is almost
needless to speak. She is an English
contralto, who came to America fresh
from triumphs in her home land. Every
where she met with great success, and
when Savage was, looking for his ideal
Kundry, with voice that could be
strong and scathing as we'll as sweet
and beguiling, Nine. Kirkby-Lunn was
the first choice. Mr.. Savage's instinct
does not fail him. He does not NAL Ike mis-
takes in his singers, and in this, the
most brilliant contralto of recent years,
his Judgment has been more than vindi-
Gated.

The strictly Japanese atmosphere Of
"The Darling Of the Gods, now at the
Auditorium, is preserved in many differ

use OF many Japanese words Of exclam-

larry and there is one word which is
persistently reiterated at the close of
the play. This is Sayronara, the Jap.

really in the very remote period that
this phrase would suggest. Frederick
E. Thomson, who plays Zakkuri, the

ment that the action Of the play is sup

sixty.five years ago.
Many people, said Mr.. Thompson,
ARE disposed to look upon the discus
sion of Zakkuri IS musket men as an an
achronism, holding that such an ancient
drama should have nothing to do with
gunpowder, modern arms and such limo

only little more than sixty-five years

ton Of firearms. BY old Japan is

TO DETECT LEAK IN GAS PIPE.
lather Of Soap Much Better Than
Using a Matsh.


The folly OF hunting for a leak in n
rss ire with a iyhted match is not
so much because of the danger of an
explosion IS of other damage, as Is
shown by the experience OF West
Philadelphia householder last week
One or two small leaks we're detected
by going over all the pipes aud hold.
ing a lighted match to them. The
smell of gas ceased, but was replaced
n tow hours later by the smell OF
burning wood Another visit to the
cellar showed q charred floor joist
little distance above a gas pipe. There
was no apparent cause for this until
very close examination discovered
that a tiny jet OF gas was issuing
from the pipe beneath the beam. Il
was lighted. but was SO small as to be
blue in color and nearly invisible. It
had been lighted by the match used
in the first investigation, but had not
been noticed
III that leak had happened to be
in lead joint Instead Of an iron con.
nection," said gas man. there
would probably have been work for
the fire department. The smallest
possible jet of lighted gas Issuing
through lead will in time heat and
melt the lead and make the leak larg.
err, until big flame is issuing. This
may make fire hours later. In the
dead of night or at time when no
one is in the house. The only prop
er way to look for these very small
leaks is to paint the suspected pipe
with smooth soap lather. Just ~
In the case of a bicycle t!rn. the :"

LAST BOURBON AT VERSAILLES.
Orange Tree Has Survived Rule 81
French Dynasty.

There is at Versailles an orange
tree close upon 500 years old. This
tree which wa taken from Fontaine-
bleau to Versailles on the completion
of the Orangery, was already ia
nous under the title of the Grand
Bourbon According to tradition, the
tree had been planted in 1921 by a
Princess of Navarro, and, after sew
eral changes of owners. came into the
possession of Francois l., by whom
1t was placed at Fontainebleau.
When it reached Versailles the King
came TO visit 1t, and two Grand BoGr-
bons were then face to face. The man
passed, and even his bones, torn from
their tomb at St. Denis and tossed in
to a trench, have persisted; not a
pinch of his dust remains. But the
tree lives and blooms and bears fruit

Brazilian Pebbles,

Brazilian pebble is a name given to
large masses of particularly transpar-
ent quartz or rock crystal, which is
most abundantly found in Brazil, al.
though material quite as good occurs
somewhat sparingly in Switzerland
and Madagascar. As regards trans
parency and hardness the Brazilian
pebble was far superior to. the best
product of the old glass meters, but
the modern glass is quite as good as
the crystal. In fact the mineral is
now little used, and the name persists
mainly as a trade epithet intended to
express superior quality. Good sl@ss
for lentlcular purposes is now made
In the United States; but the best,

nomical and microscopic work, still
