RENT PAYS FOR LAND
FERTILE SECTIONS OF THE SOUTHWEST
WHERE LAND SELLS FOR SIS AND
RENTS FOR SIS PER ACRE.

One of the most remarkable things
about Eastern Arkansas and Northern
Louisiana is the fact that cleared land
rents for SIS per acre cash, and can be
bought for 81 so TO Sl5 per acre. 1t
costs from So to $40 an acre to clear IT,.
Other improvements necessary are
slight and inexpensive.
The soil is rich alluvial, or made.
1t produces bale of cotton per acre,
worth $45 to $50 This accounts for
its high rental value. Other crops,
such as corn. small grains, grasses,
vegetables and fruits thrive as well.
Alfalfa yields to cuttings, a ton
to cutting, and brings $40 to SIG per
ton.
In other sections Of these States,
and in Texas as well, the rolling or
hill-land is especially adapted To stock
raising and fruit growing. Land is
very cheap. S. to $40 per acre; improv-
ed farms $40, SIS to S25 per acre.
The new White River country offers
many opportunities for settlers. High
rolling, fine water--it is naturally
adapted to stock and fruit raising.
Can be bought as low as SO per acre.

HIS OWN FoRECAsTER.
Simple Plan to Become Correct
 Weather Prognosticator.

Saybrook, Sept 7.--L. K. Dibble of this town who has enjoyed more than a local reputation as a weather fore caster, has consented to make public the method he employs in making his invariably correct prognostications. His authoritative statement follows:
 Tn order to give correct forecast of the weather, watch the spider. Don't laugh. have tame spider that tells me more than all the world or science, so called. which in Scrip ture We are commanded to avoid. Don't forget that the spider is men, tioned in the good book. Proverbs XXX 2S: The spider taketh hold with her hands and is in kings palaces;' also in Job vii "A and Isa K 5.
 "When see my spider very busily at work getting up his back stays I look for wind; when I find him asleep and he will not come out to take his fly, l look for rain; when he is wide awake and answers to my call, I look for pleasant weather. He Is very shy of strangers when they come to see him and hides in his den till they are gone. When he draws himself up like a ball, look for cold wave. I have never known him to make a mistake. So far as the forecasting of the weather is concerned. take no credit to myself; the simple spider takes all"

COYLE TENEMENT ENTERED. Watch That Was Highly Prized Car.
 ried Away By Thieves.

The chap. that is doing the thiev- ing round the city certainly has the detective department up tree for hardly week passes that some house is not entered and valuables taken from the place. The latest victim is Mrs William Coyle and family, who live at 276 Baldwin street in the Hayes block. A few days ago while Mrs Coyle and her children were out at Hamilton park some crook entered her home which is on the third floor of the house named above and ransacked the place thoroughly. Jewelry and money to the amount of $100 was taken. Among the goods stolen was fine gold watch which was prized highly by the family. The person who is believed to have entered the place is said to have been seen by one of the other tenants and 1t is rumored she would have given the alarm only the burglar pointed a re- volver at her. The woman became so frightened at the mans action that she hurriedly retired to her apart ments and became hysterical.
 It appears that entrance to almost all the houses that have been robbed has been made by the means of skeleton key and the police warn the people that they cannot be too care- full of their property.

WANT PAPER SUPPRESSED. American Ambassador Calls on State Department to Do Something.

"sH sHc"e sO DO oOmctning.
 Washington. Sept 7.-Declaring to be false the reports of a bitter anti American feeling in Mexico and an organized revolution against Presi- dent Diaz, David y,E. Thompson, the American ainbaasnders lhag syeported to the state- department rsn0wtug his rpquests that 'ih Compliance with the wishes of Mexlco's president this gov ernment should take steps to suppress the Mexican revolutionary junta at St Louis, which publishes in Spanish a paper called Regeneration.
 He contends that articles that have appeared in certain newspapers of the United States, gave "a most ex- aggerated importance" to the work of men who have fled from Mexico and will continue to endeavOr to breed spirit of unrest in that country ..
 The ambassador has suggested that if these men could be dealt with as anarchists, President Dlaz would feel deep gratitude. The suggestion made by Mir Thompson followed ln- terviews he had with President Diaz in which the latter expressed the ear nest hope that the United States gov- eminent could take steps to prevent the further circulation of the paper in question.
 The state department immediately referred the despatches of Mir Thomp- son to the department of justice with a view to ascertalning what measures might be tnken against the newspaper Regeneration or It's publishers.

Benedict E. Hausdorf is at logger
 heads with the Connecticut Railway X Lighting company over the pole on
 Vine street, directly opposite Haus- dorf's saloon door, and on property owned by him. There has been pole on the sidewalk for some years and Hausdorf always contended that it was nuisance and menace to his business. This morning workmen for the company began to dig hole near the pole to place new one Hausdorf did not object until he found them advancing further in the sidewalk than the location of the old pole. Then the music began. Before the hole was half dug. Hausdorf telephoned Attorney Bauby for in struction how to conduct himself un- der the circumstances and the law yer wired him back to obstruct the workmen all he could. So Hausdorf got shovel and standing near the hole shoyeled back the dirt as fast as the workmen would shovel 1t out. By way of variety he would jump into the hole once in while but this was new exercise for Hausdorf and he did not like It. He again wired his counsel and this time advised him to get an injunction out aganst the company as he did not care to be dancing n Highland fling for the edificati0n of the workmen of the Connecticut Rail- way X Lighting company. The in- Junction will be issued this evening, unless settlement is effected, mean- while and thls is very unlikely to happen.

New York. Sept 7.-The Tribune to-day says: When congress meets at the beginning of next December Senator Chauncey M. Depew will be found in his seat. This assurance was made yesterday by a member of his family.
 Senator Depew's recovery has been slow. but the gains he has made have been held, he said.
 At no time within the last year has been in such good spirits and the doctors assert that if the i'm provements continue he will be equal to the strain of another session of congress"
 For several months Senator Depew has been in retirement at his home at Dobbs Ferry. The nature of his malady has never been made known, but was generally understood to have been in the nature of a nervous breakdown.

JEALOUSY THE CAUSE Young New Yorker Was Shot Down Last Night While Walking With
 His Sweetheart
ONE ARREST ON SUSPICION

New York, Sept 7.--Joseph Grasse, IS years of age, died in hospital to- day of bullet wounds, Inflicted while walking with his sweetheart and an- other girl on an east side street last night. Grasse was halted by three men one of whom deliberately shot him down. Before he died he told the police that he did not recognize his assailant or the men with him.
 The police theory is that the assas- sination was the act of n rejected suitor.
 Margaret Canovale, one of the young women with whom Grasse was walking when he was shot, was de- tained by the police because her account of the shooting appeared to be contradictory.
 Lewis Luck, aged IS, was arrested on suspicion that he knew something about the shooting of Grasse.

 few of the leaders of the party and
 had ( chat with them. Mi Smith is a very pleasant gentleman and if he gets the nomination he will be apt to give the republican nominee, no matter whether 1t is Dunham or Wal ter, all he can do and more to keep ahead of him. To be sure, there is nothing certain yet about this shriev- alty question in Waterbury. Water bury has Smith of It's own and the boys may decide to enter him in the race. If so, the Ansonia Smith won't be in 1t; neither will Walter or Dun ham. If M. J. Smith of this city gets into the harness and decided to make try for county sherih he can get the nomination and to make things better he can outstrip any man the other fellows can put for ward. But that's another matter. MT Smith of Ansonte appears to be very nice gentleman and if Water bury has no man in the race 1t is likely that the delegates will give him boost.

ROW ON UNION STREET.
Two Men Get Into a Row Over Q
 Couple of Fighting Dogs.

To-day was red letter day for the residents of Union street, red lettered
 because of the amount of blood that
 spilled during the fight which was
 held in the vicinity this morning. The
 mad dog which was shot on the street during the day caused plenty of ex- citement and the pugilistic exhibi- tion certainly made things hum. The combatapts were From" Prolean and Nick" Paste and two dogs owned by the men figured in the preliminary. The CUTS were chewing one another apart when either Tom or Nick, it Is not known who. interfered and en- deavored to stop the cur fight. No sooner had he entered the ring than he was surrounded by a few of the onlookers who were of the opinion that the dogs should fight 1t out Im- mediately several of the sons of Sun ny Italy were lambasting one another. Blood was flowing more freely than it did at Polls last night when Gus ter's Last Battle" played there. Meanwhile the police station had been notified and Con Kiersted accom- panied by Terry Lynch arrived at the hattie ground. Although no new dead bodies was in evidence there were a few battered faces. but only two were brought to the station. They were N ck and Tom and thev will have to face city court tomorrow on the charge of breach of the peace.
