RECORD BREAKING
 HAIL STORM Much Damage Done in the City Yestarday-Largest Hail Stones Ever Seen in This Section.
|SKYLIGHTS BROKEN
Stores Suffered Damage and Streets Flooded-Thousands of Birds Kill de-Frilits and Trees Suffer Ex~ tensiyely.

A shower of hail, the like of which was never witnessed in this section of the country before and which the oldest residents say broke all previous records. visited Pine Bluff and surrounding country yesterday afternoon at about , o'clock and created no little excite ment throughout the city and county.
 The hail stones were as large as hen eggs and in many parts of the city they were often discovered to be as large as goose eggs The hail stones were all sizes and shapes and rather singular fact was their resemblance to flowers, fruit and vegetables. Some of them were shaped like mushrooms, po- tatoes, pears and apples. Others were as perfect in shape as the egg and still more resembled large baseballs.
 The hail storm did great amount of damage throughout the city. Every skylight in Pine Bluff was more or less damaged and stores and. houses flooded with the rain that followed the terrific hail shower. It was frightful to a de- gree and the freaks of nature at tracted no little attention. Several teams ran away in the downtown districts during the storm and wires of the light, telephone and tele- graph companies were crippled. It is believed that the storm did un- told damage to the fruit crop througout the city and flower gardens and shade and other trees were badly damaged
 Frequent heavy showers of rain preceded the hail storm during Monday. Late in the afternoon heavy black clouds banked them selves in the western heavens. The continuous thunder claps and vivid flashes of lightning gave warning of an approaching storm When the clouds moved over the city a copiOus rain fell for a few min- utes and suddenly ceased. Then hail-shot fell like rain and this was followed by shower of large hail-stOnes, which grew larger and larger as they came down The hail storm continued for thirty minutes and when it ceased the ground was literally white in places, resembling light snowfall. The hail-stones crashed through sky lights and windows all over the city. Large arc light globes were battered to a thousand pieces and downtown the reports of bursting globes on electric signs which hang in front of the various establish ments, sounded like the firing of pistols. Horses attached to wagons and buggies all over the city took fright and persons attempted to calm them, holding umbrellas over their heads and covering them with blankets and sacks. The hail. stones tore through umbrellas like knife blades.
 Hot houses in the suburbs were

TWO Rules For Good Carriage.

If you are walking along the street
and wake up to the fact that you are
carrying yourself poorly, take the
mental attitude of standing straight as
we'll as the physical one. Look At the
men you meet and imagine that each
of them owes you dollar. Put even
a suggestion Of arrogance into yo:a
position. Hold your head well back
Look people squarely IN the face. This
will not only give the impression TO
others that you possess the power you
want, but it will actually tend to bring
that power Keep the neck against
the coIlar-World's Work.

W|FE'S PECULIAR STORY
OF HUSBANDS
DEATH
Clubmdn Shot in His Own
House. Presumably by
a Burglar.
PROBABLY KILLED BY
SOMEONE IN HIS FAMILY

Cleveland, o., Sept. Dark and
mysteriously are the circumstances
surrounding the death of John j..
Phillips, clubman and until very re-
Gently a wealthy coal operator.
When he was shot in the back Of
the neck at l o'clock in the morning,
dying five hours later, his wife, Mrs.
Charlotte Phillips, told the physician,
the chief OF police and the coroner
that he was a victim of burglars.
These officials, after a hasty inves-
tigation, rejected the burglar theory
and declared that Phillips had COM
mitted suicide, bu the autopsy swept
away both theories, and it was i'm
mediately announced that Phillips
was murdered-not for robbery, but
in all probability, by an enemy in
his own house.
Phillips was shot in the back of
the neck as he was ascending a
stairway. His niece and adopted
daughter, Ethel Clark, who had been
awakened by the wild electrical
storm then raging, witnessed the
flash Of the revolver.
No physician was called for three
hours, and even when one arrived
Phillips objected to his presence.
The police and coroner were noti-
fed only after strong objections on
the part Of Mrs. Phillips.
licf SJOfN.
II was more than half an hour af-
ter the shooting, she says, before it
occurred to her to open the front
door and cry for help, Nobody re-
spOnded.
The physician who was finally sum
moned lives only three doors away.
Mrs Phillips excuse for not calling
him sooner was that she could not
find his telephone number.
Mrs. Phillips declined to testify
before the coroner until after she
had consulted a lawyer. Her testi-
mony was given reluctantly, and she
accused the coroner of attempting
TO buldoze her. Her statement diff
fered materially at several points
from that Of her niece.
Both stated that after the shoot
ing they saw a strange man stand
Ing outside the house.
Sheriff McGorray was called into
consultation with Deputy Coroner
Houck. and an arrest Is expected at
am early date.

TUCKER-PLATT CASE
BEING INVESTIGATED

Denver, Colo, Sept. Under or
ders from General Mark D. Thomas,
of the department Of Colorado, Lieu
tenant George Spalding is at Ration,
n NJ, gathering information i'm con-
nection with the Tucker-Platt case.
From the fact that his time while
in Ration was spent in the company
of c. NJ. Frey, brother of Mrs. Myrtle
Plat. the woman against whom Mrs
w. +. Tucker and her mother, Mrs.
John A. Logan complained 10 the war
department, ii appears thar the de-
partment considers there are two
sides 10 the Tucker domestic trouble.
When Lieutenant SpIlding arrived
I'm Ration he located c. NJ. Frey and
they spent the remainder of the day
together Frey signed a number of
papers supposed to be deposiuOns.
Together the two men called on Mrs.
Platt, who telephoned 10 her attOr-
ney as they left, and when they re-
turned i'm the afternoon a second con-
sultatiOn was held.
Mrs. Platt is said 10 have denied
the charges made against her by
Mrs. Logan.

KILLED HIS Wife AND
CUT HIS own
THROAT
Chicago Broker Found Un'
conscious Beside Her
Dead Body,
NO REASON KNOWN
FOR HIS ACTION

Chicago, ILL.,, Sept. Mrs. Fred
Nj. Fish, wife of a wealthy retired
broker, was found murdered in her
home at 423 Davis street i'm Evans
ton early today Her husband with
his throat cut was found unconscious
on the floor of the bedroom in which
the body of the woman was lying.
II is the opinion of the police that
Fish murdered his wife and then at
tempted to commit suicide. He has
not yet recovered consciousness. The
cause of the tragedy is not known.
Mrs. Fish had been shot and mutilat-
ed horribly with a cleaver. Fish re-
Gently retired from business on ac-
count of poor health and was subject
to fits of dependency.
They lad Quarrelled.
Parties living in the adjoining
houses heard Fish and his wife last
night in a violent alteration in which
he called her many vile names and
declared he would kill her. No rea-
son for his quarrelling is known, as
the woman was of quiet disposition
and seldom received any visitors, and
never had any scandal attached to
her name.
Mrs. Fish was a favorite in the
nelghborhood owing to her charitable
nature and the fact that she had been
murdered caused almost a riot among
her friends, who insisted that Fish
had killed her and that her murder
must be avenged.

there for a year They had all the
business they wanted.
The cost of dry goods and clothing
will be treated more fully in a spec
ial article later.
The following was secured from a
young married man whose income is
SIS a month. He is a clerk and con-
sequently he is compelled to dress
neatly-aboVe the average perhaps
of many employees.
He and his wife tried to save-not
Systematically but in a rough and
ready way. They had never figured
it down to an actual matter of dol
lars and cents until a Citizen repor-
ter asked them for details. Then
they took one week-the last week
i'm August and gave him as nearly as
possible the figures on what II cost
them to live.
They didn't really know where the
money went-they knew it took their
whole income or very nearly all of it.
They had not considered why. After
they had studied over their expenses
for the week, the young man said.
Weekly Expenses.
zone weeks expenses prove how
easily one can spend money and still
have little to show for II. Take the
last week in August for instance.
During the week we spent so cents
for bread and buns, which included
five loaVes of bread and two and a
half dozen buns.
"The next big item is meat, and
as both my wife and | are hearty
eaters, we spent an average OF 20
cents per day for meat, or $l.4O for
the week.
For milk and cream, which in
cludes one bottle of milk and three
nf m a
65 cents. For coffee, Of which we use
good quality, our weekly figure was
40 cents, and for sugar 25.
My wife bought an average Of
one cake per day from neighboring
bakery during that week, which
amounted to Sl.05 for the week.
For fruit we spent about $1.0O,
and our daily vegetable supply we
averaged 10 cents of $l.O5 for the
week
Then for little accessories, which
We called sundries We spent another
dollar.
"Our fuel cost as lust one cart
wheel that week, and We pay 25
cents per week for light our laun-
dry bill was $1.75 and as We pay $40
per month for rent, about $3.50 is
the right figure for one weeks use
Of the room we call "our's.'
TaIle- ii All.
THAT takes up just Sl2.SO Of my
hard earned cash, and as my salary
averages about SIS per week, It
10 leaves me $500 for clothing etc.
During that week my wife was
forced 10 buy nearly $500 worth of
clothing which left me so cents to
the bad for the week, but our cloth
ing bill averages only about SIS per
month, which let's Us out about even
for the period.
