BROKE INTO
 SAMPLE ROOM
rwsutv One Knives Stolen and Marshal Pickle is Locating Stolen Property and Making Arrests Boys
 Implicated.

Monday night the Hotel National sample room was broken into and twenty-one fine pocket hr;ves valued at over $40, were stolen from the cases belonging ,o Norvel Schapley Hardware Company of St. Louis, and in the sample outfit of George Vickers.
 The matter was kept quiet by the officers until Friday, when Officer Bickle reports that he has recovered ten of the knives and made one arrest, with probably more to follow.
 The first clue was discovered hv finding one of the stolen tnives in the hands of Sam Mon- roe. Monroe told the officers that he bought the knife from Iay Smitherman, call boy at the roupdhouse.
 The Smitherman boy, 1t is claimed, represented that he bad purchased the knife from another narty. As a result of the inves- tio ation so far Officer B.ckle has recovered ten of the stolen knives finding some of them hidden about the roundhouse.

SELLING OBSCENE
 POSTAL CARDS
rfoprietors of Six Business Houses ir Hot Springs Arrested By Federal Officers for Handling Indecent
 Souvenir Post Cards.

Hot Springs, Sept. 24.-Siz business men, owners of art and stationary stores and news stands, were arraigned before United States Commissioner Howell to. day, charged with offering for sale and receiving from common carriers obscene or indecent postal cards. The exam,na tion was conducted for the govern. ment by Powell Clayton, newly appointed assistant to United States District Attorney Whipple of Little Rock. Postoffice In. spector Spofford quietly visited all the stores where postal cards are exhibited for sale and gathered in sample of alleged objectionable pictures displayed in violation of the United States laws.
 All of the dealers admitted having sold cards, but denied that they were obscene. They alleged the cards were bought under guarantee of the manu- features that they were "safe, " and contended that the United States government should not grant a copyright on any pictures which would not be allowed to pass through the mails.
 The Federal attorney assented, but held that would not justify a violation of the statute under which they were arrested.
 The famous art galleries of New York and Washington wore cautiously criticised by both Clayton and the defendants in au Anthony Comstock vein.
 Commissioner Howell held that the character of the cards war. ranted him in holding the de. fendants to the Federal court and they were released upon their own recognizance to appear in Little Rock at the next term oi court.

A GERMAN DISCOVERY.
Al High Altitude Air is coidest Over Equator and Wsrmest
 Above Poies.

Dresden, Saxony, Sept. 26.--At the meeting Wednesday of the congress of German Scientists remarkable statement was made by Prof. Herge- sell of Strassburg university. that at mosphere at high attitudes is coldest over the equator and the warmest above the poles. This surprising fact, he explained, was determined by bal loon ascents made during the month of July of the various attitudes, under the auspices of the International com mittee which has been Investigating the atmosphere at high attitudes. The observations, which wore taken with automatic instruments attached to un. manned balloons, have not yet been worked out in detail, but Prof. Herge- sells conclusions are abundantly proved through the data thus collect ed. Balloons which reached attitudes of II to 12 miles in the tropics were found to have registered above 14S degrees below zero fahrenheit, while in the latitude of central Europe the temperature was only 76 to 85 below zero at tho heights indicated. Another fact established by these balloon as- cents is that the greatest cold of the upper atmosphere is reached at heights from six to six and three quarters miles. varying somewhat in different parts of the world. Above the height contrary to the assumption of scientists hitherto. the air actually grows warmer. This warmer strata of air is deduced to be highest at the equator and lowest at the poles, where it is estimated to begin at about four and one-third miles.
 Prof. Hergesell concludes that the atmospheric conditions affecting the weather does not reach higher than seven miles.

And a Few Facts by DR. K. (. Mccoy
 The Optician.

the brain contains reserve stock for emergencles Were it not for this wise provision the suspension or decrease in capacity of the source of supply would surely and speedy result in death. In youth the quantity of reserve force as well the capacity for supply is greater hence the more speedy recovery from injuries and ills. Extra ordinary drain upon the nerve supply can be en- dured without discomfort because of these con- ditions. When, however, the reserve supply IS exhausted. the demand is made directly upon the capacity of the machinery and trouble follows
 Any physiological condition or functional de- mand which requires more than the normal pro- portion of nerve force in direction will have evil effect upon other functions as soon as the re- serve is reduced below the safety line. One of these is the intense thought associated with grief joy, fear, anger and other emotions, because the demand is directly upon the chief source of supply
 In this connection it is interesting to note the effect of thought upon the various functions. The phenomena of blushing, turning pale, etc., are H. lustrations of the influence of thought upon the nerves which control the circulation of the blood.
 The influence of the mind upon the body is being recognized by the medical colleges of today and psychology is one of the special branches taught The faith healers find the basis for their work in the same proposition coupled with fa- natcal belief that they are especially endowed by God.
 Each case which presents itself to the optha- mologist has individual peculiarties and only a thorough knowledge of elementary principles of anatomy, physiology, nerveology, physics psy chology and mathematics will enable the practition CT to meet them with credit to himself and com fort to his patients. He must also cultivate his common sense and look for the simplest way out of any difficulties which may arise.
 Now in conclusion if you have any ailments with your Eyes, Headache, Dizziness or Dullness if Everything Becomes Blurred, come see me, have your eyes measured and be convinced.
 Now that our schools about to open (and have no doubt there many children in our schools that tagging in their studies on account of their eyes) the parents should look after this and not neglect their chdren's eyes in their young life.

vX IHILE there are many people who think w the Optical Business fake profession.
 And many that seen to be well learned verify believe that there is nothing in fitting glass, nothinS to be gained; that glass bought for soc to 75c is just as good as the glass that is fitted in scientific manner and costs from $8 to $15. Just as well say that any person that had no knowledge of medicine whatever was as capable to carry you through some malignant disease as the man who has had years of training through medical college. Stop and study well the few facts that here give you.
 In the practical opthamology one of the es- sentials in a general knowledge of the nervous system-what it is, whence it cometh and whther it goeth.
 It is simply complete telegraph system inti- mately connecting every portion of the anatomy. In structure it is series of tubular membranes, containing in a minute and continuous stream matter identical with the brain substance, through which electrical energy is transmitted. This en- ergy is of two kinds, galvanc and faradc. The first is generated by the digestive organs and is constant, the second is an intermittent current generated by molecular friction through the body.
 The nervous system is divided into two classes, the cerebro spinal or animal, and the sympathetic or organic.
  ferent from the peripheral parts of the nerve centers, and the efferent, from the nerve centers to the peripheral parts.
 The brain is the chief nerve center. all force is sent there and thence distributed in every di- rection and in such proportions as conditions re- quire. To do this the brain gives off twelve pairs of cranial nerves and the spinal cord, the latter being the grand trunk line which supplies the min or centers or pexuses in the body.
 There are two functions devolving upon the nerves, motion and sensation. Each nerve con tains both animal and organic qualities, so that we have not only the power of motion and sensation but also the sympathetic relation between all parts, which is absolutely necessary to health and control of functions
 In normal physiological conditions the distri- button of force is proportional to the capa- city for supply and nature has so arranged that HD = C

HAYWOOD ACQUITTED
Jury Was Out Fl Hours Before Verdict
Was Reached.

Boise, Ida, July 29.-Into the bright
sunlight OF beautiful Sabbath morn
ing William D. Haywood, defendant in
cne Of the most noted trials involving
conspiracy and murder that the coun.
try has ever known, walked q free
man, acquitted Of the murder of former
Gov. Frank Steunenberg.
If was after being out 81 hours that
the jury, which at first had been di'
vided eight to four and then seemed
deadlocked at ten to two, finally came
to an agreement shortly after the first
faint streaks of the coming day showed
above the giant hills. Events then
moved rapidly after thSs. and at a
few moments before 8 O'Clock the
white envelope handed by the foreman
to the judge was torn open and the
verdict read.
The probability of verdict of &C
treasurer and acknowledged leader OF
the Western Federation cf Miners had
been freely predicted, when Judge Fire
mont Wood read his charge, which was
regarded as strongly favoring the de-
fense
1t was also freely predicted that in
the event of Haywood's acquittal the
state would abandon the prosecution
of his associates, Charles H. Meyer
president of the Federation, and Geo
Pettibone, of Denver.
