This is the way the professor ac-
complishes his slate writing: The Sc
ance always Is arranged I'm advance and
the states are prepared with the vari-
Gus messages or pictures. The victim
is seated at a table opposite, and the
professor opens up a pleasant conver-
sation, calling attention to the pictures
of his wife and daughter on the dress-
er at his left and talking about his
home life. The states are on the fakers
side of the table and not within reach
Of the victim.
Trick Of Leeerdemsin
The professor is very deliberate and
everything is done leisurely. The sit
ter is given q slip Of paper on which
he is asked to address a question TO a
spirit friend and sign It. The profess
sor takes care to look the other way
while the question Is being written and
It Is placed face downward on the ta-
BILE. Then the allusion to the picture
on the dresser is made and I'm an in
stant the paper is slipped into the
operators lap and one exactly like 1t
substituted.
Two states are fastened together with
q rubber band and the blank piece OF
paper-supposedly bearing the question
is slipped under the band. 1t Is
pressed firmly a few moments by the
victim while the charlatan is leisurely
reading the question on the other side
of the table. Presently, when the spir-
its have had time to fill the slate, the
band is taken off and the side of one
Of the states Is seen to be covered with
writing. The victim is allowed only a
glance and told it will be best to read
all the states at once. 1t Is laid face
downward on the table.
Used Old Silicate Pad
Another slate is produced, both sides
of which are exhibited to show that
nothing has been written on 1t. 1t is
laid down on the table, in plain view
Of the sitter, with false, closely fit
ting silicate flap uppermost. The dust
is brushed off with a handkerchief to
call attention to the fact that 1t is per-
fectly clean. 1t is then turned over to-
ward the operator and the silicate far
falls noiselessly into his lap. The slate
is then showed toward the victim, with
a bit of pencil under 1t, and the sitter
placing his hands on it, waits for the
spirits to write. When they have filled
it it is turned UP and another pro-
duced.
The operator has conned the question
on the paper and he has the last slate
ready before the preceding one is filled
With a soft bit of pencil, under his
thumb nail, he writes an answer to the
question and the signature at the enc
of the message When the sitter is
absorbed in reading the messages he
seizes an opportunity to substitute the
real question for the blank in its place
on the table and it is found by the sit
| ter afer the seance.

interfere had gotten into combat and
was chased from the premises by the
then thoroughly belligerent Mrs.
Nancy, who had secured a revolver.
Mrs. Nancy admitted those details
yesterday, but stated that they had
happened two years ago. Since then
Mrs. Crane has had a six-foot barbed
wire fence built about her premises and
the neighborhood has been in condi-
ton of open warfare. Several wit

testified that Mrs. Nancy had assaulted
her with a stick some time before and
that they had had trouble. Last Mon
day came the outburst that caused
Mrs. Maney's arrest. When she re-
turned and found her chickens had
been assaulted during her absence be-
cause of their invasion of the Crane
barley field she went over and gave
Mrs Crane piece of her mind. Wit
nesses stated that Mrs. Nancy said
she would fix the whole Crane family

PRESIDENT MOORE DIDN'T
 SAY IT

A number ot Arkansas newspapers are under the erroneous impression that President Moore, of the senate. llaS Sald that he has no opinion on the antitrust law. The error started in d com uslon Of names. The Conway mes wrote at some length on this matter and several other papers have referred to it. The Gazette contrib uted to the spread of the error by using incidentally in an editorial on the antitrust law the reference to President Moore that appeared in the Conway paper.
 President Moore did not make the statement that has been attributed to hlm, and the newspapers that have referred to this matter should make the proper corrections Arkansas Gazette.
 The Gazette is itself also a little mixed on this subject. The facts are. the Gazette recently published an in- teryiew with Dr l. W. Moore, mem Der of the lower house from St. Fran cls county, in which he said that he had given the matter so little study he could not at this time express all opinion. l am willing. however. to be led by the opinion of the business men oi the state.' Upon this, the Conway Hines man wrote half q column about Senator John Ike Moore being so prominent, not having an opinion on such an important question, and sar- castically remarking. Well, the idea" The Forrest City Times copied the article from the Conway Times two weeks ago and tried to set the erring brother right, but we missed our aim, and will now remark that where ignorance is bliss 'tis wise to be foolish. /"

Garden of Eden.

Mr. Editor:-Doubtless you have mo- ticed that the water is very high, not only in the Commercial Appeal, but in the opinion of those who are compen- sated per diem and by collecting and disbursing the leyee tax. And strange as it may appear, these devastating floods appear every two years, when the Arkansas Legislature is in session.
 Now, if the reader of the press be- lieyes all he reads, he can but come to the conclusion that everybody in the Levee District were drowned, except the few who had escaped up trees. and that even they would perish unless by the distress call he be rescued.
 But such is hot the fact. Here in the Garden everything is lovely. We are as undisturbed by water as Adam and Eve were prior to Eyes induce ment of Adam to eat the forbidden

Death of Thomas L. Tavlor.

The news of the death of NIT ThoS. L. Taylor, which sad event occurred on last Tuesday morning, February ,, lao4r at II o'clock, at the residence of MT. Tom Lynaugh, about three miles northeast of Forrest City. came as surprise To his numerous friends in this city, as his illness was not gener- ally known and was of short duration. being sick only about three days with pneumonia
 Thomas l.. Taylor was born in Coop CT county, Missouri, iH 1s4s, and came to Arkansas about ls74. He was a brother of the late Gen. Geo. r. Fay Tor, and Was q familiar figure in For rest City. where he WAS well known. For many years he had been engaged in farming, and being unmarried lived alone upon his place until a few years ago, he sold the farm and has since been making his nome with NIT. Ly- naugh
 He was a Confederate soldier. member of General Forrest Lodge Knights of Pythias. and was recently baptized and united with the Baptist church in this city He carried 5000 life insurance, payable to Geo. ?. Fay Tor, ir., in the Lodge, and 5000 in an old line Company, payable to E. F. Taylor

Diversified Farming.

\ small crowd gathered at the court house Wednesday at 2:30 o'clock to listen to a talk on forage crops and diversified farming, by Messrs. D. A. Brodie and C. k McClelland of the United States department of agricul- ture. The talk was entertaining, in- structive and profitable.
 MT. McClelland was first introduced and spoke at length on the value of forage crops, mentioning rape, Der muda, red clover, burr clover, vetch, rye, sorghum and alfalfa, as suitable for this climate. He answered many questions asked as to the manner of planting alfalfa, soil best adapted for it's growth, etc.
 MT. Brodie then proceeded to give a talk on diversified farming, illustrat- ing his talk with diagram of l60 acres divided into four 40's, one forty of which was devoted to house, garden and pasture lots, and the others to farming, diyerSifying the crop on each every year. He also showed plat for tenant farming. He explained how a crop could be growing and bringing in money all the year round, besides fertilizing the ground
 It is a pity that these gentlemen came almost unheralded. They should have been widely advertised and the people acquainted of their coming, for the information they dispense would be of great benefit to all farmers. It is to be hoped they will return at some future time, and be announced so that the whole people may know of their coming, and go out to hear them.

MT. Editor: Having heard nothing much from this neck of the woods lately, l will write a few lines.
 We can beat all the rest of Arkan- sas for good roads, according to their chance, as they have not been worked since the good law of taxation was passed. A man can manage to go to town with the running gear of wagon by driving four good mules. A neighbor took pity on the people, or else got ashamed of the oyerseer, and fixed two bad places in tine road. We are satisfied with our overseer, Low ever. and he does the best he can un- der the circumstances

 It is an undecided question between MT. Henry Bray and MT. Albert Bailey as to who will take the widow or who will take the girl up in Egypt.

 She had been married three times, first time to MT David NJ. White, the second to MT. Wm T. Apperson, and lastly to MT John k. Sembler, who preceded her to the grave many years.

 The family, to whom we extend sin cere sympathy in their sad bereaye- meAt, desires us to express their sin eefe thanks to all neighbors and friends who assisted them in caring for their dear old mother during her last illness. They fully appreciate every act of kindness, and will always cherish them in their memory.
