 Nearly all the shops were thrisns' but not quite all. Somehow or other, Robes ct Modes. although It starseo so ..s.,r had not shared in the boom psrhans its two promoters had entered nnlucky premises: perhaps they nao sftempted impossibiiities; perhaps they had run fulI-tilt against the Splr1t oi Asa and from the very first had been doomed ultimately to fall with MISS Walsh's maxims of high profit on small returns. etc. Anyhow. after the nrst six months. Miss Barter ana lss ss Walsh seem to lose their grip on the customers who had come to them when the white paint was fresh ana the rold -tassels unsoiled. Letter writing on thickest note-paper. with the arms of half dozen foreign po- tentates, ceased to produce erect. m yitations to view latest nouveautes ana extra special lines were ignored. ou. of all the new families there were not half a dozen new clients for the chic establishment in Bridge street. The dome of Selkirk was seen by these strangers from the railway carriage ere they alighted; the plate glass "a cade of the Selkirk arrested thefr at- tention as they drove from the sta tion; the covered carts ot Seiknk flashed his name before their eyes printed 1t on their memories; their frst exploration of the town was 10 find the nearest way to Selkirk. They had been in Medford for months per haps, were the chained slaves or Sel- kirk, before they turned down side street and happened to see. under an architects office. the quaint little snop that called itself Modes ct Robes.
 Who was to blame for this lack of success? No one, probably--unless one might accuse Destiny or the Spirit of Age. But Miss Walsh said it was all Miss Barter's fault, and Miss Barter said Miss Walsh had swindled her. With insufficient business to occupy their minds. and without customers to soften their manners and silence their tongues, the partners were continually quarreiling. An acrimonious wrangle' filled their enforced leisure day after day. Mir. Dowling's clerks could hear them, and sometimes stamped upon the floor to beg for peace. Then Miss Walsh used to come out into the pas acrimoniously: If you shake the plaster on our ceiling. I'll make you pay for 1t. I shall write to Mir. Rogers thfs minute and tell him it's you and not us he must look to. There's cracks you've made already that are big enough to put your fingers in." etc. etc. And then the angry senior part ner would return to the shop and pick up the thread of squabble with Miss Jessie. ''Give you back your money and let you go? Oh, that's good one, that is. You never wanted for cheek, Jessie. Give me back my money--that you've lost for me by. your laziness and your carelessness and your under hand ways. Let me see my money again and we'll begin to talk about yours. earned my money I did xx&A nI cav if hnnaaf rn- ing. didn't go out and cadge 1t s'' There was in fact much uneasiness and annoyance beneath Mir. Bowling.
 And Miss Jessie in her troubles trou bied other people. Too often she brought the discomfort and worry out of the shop and took them upstairs to the first floor. Passing the open

Special to the News.
 Little Rock, Oct. 5.-George J Meier, representing Logan X Bryan the Chicago and New York cotton grain and stock brokers, filed in the circuit court here to- day suit to test the cOnstitu- tiOnality of the Moore Heartsill Bill, passed by the last legisla- ture, the resultof which has been to drive every cotton exchange out of the State of Arkansas. The complaint filed today con- taining 1OS typewriter pages, and sets out in full and minute detail the difference between a bucket shop and the legitimate exchanges. It is alleged that the reHeartsill law, known as the anti bucketshop bill, really should not affect the operation of the legitimate exchanges, in that the legitimate exchanges deal in the actual comodity, andthat the contracts which are made are for actual delivery and purchase.
 This suit is said to be the first of series of similar suits to be filed in various states in which legislation affecting the cotton ex changes have been operating has been enacted. In Georgia the BOykin law will be attacked, and in Texas, Alabama and other states suits are to be filed, at tacking the constitutiOnality of the laws.
 The passage of the Moore Heartsill bill through the Arkan- sas legislature afforded the greatest sensation of the past session. During it's pendency the ebillwas stolen from the clerk s closer, and a new bill was drawn re-introduced, and passed both houses without dissenting vote. Since that time Senator Jeff Da. wis has made the statement that he drew the bill, every line of it, with the exception of that part which was taken from the Boy kin bill, of Georgia. At that time the operators of the legitimate exchanges declared that if the bill became a law they would close up, from the fact that they did not care to enter into any controversy with the law from neither side of the bars. The in tention of the bill was apparently, to drive out all exchanges regard less of their nature, and realiz. | ing this fact the operators did not care to measure words at that time.
 Three of the men who opera ted such exchanges in Little Rock at that time are now in Memphis. Major Claude Sayle,- who was the Board of Trade bro ker is now with J. c. Hill and Company, Walter Cotter is with Ganong. Fitzgerald and Company, and H. B. Axe is with still anoth- CT broker in the metropolis of Shelby county. The outcome of the suits filed today will be watched with greatest interest.

MASHEK SUICIDES.
Sheridan Farmer Takes His Life With a
Shotgun.

Joseph Mashek, who lived on a
farm about one mile south of Sea-
forth, went into his bedroom last
Wednesday morning, laid down on
the bed and placing the muzzle of a
loaded shotgun under his chin, in
some way reached the trigger and
ended his earthly existence. The
circumstances given out indicate
that Mashek was more or less moody
and unbalanced in mind and temper.
His wife had about reached the
limit of her endurance and applied
for a divorce, but through relative
a supposed reconciliation had been
effected and the man and wife had
planned to go to town on the day
Mashek suicided for the purpose of
withdrawing the divorce petition.
The Vesta paper is authority tor the
statement that Mashek began abus-
ing his wife Wednesday morning
and drove her out of the house,
telling her to milk and do the
chores. Soon after she got out to
the barn, the children came to the
mother to tell her their father was
shooting in the house. Mrs. Mashek.
knowing that her husband had
threatened to make away with HIM
self, guessed the cause of the shoot
ing, and getting a neighbor to go
with her, went in and made the dis
covery of the facts above stated.
1t seems fortunate that the insane
man did not destroy the lives Of the
other members of the family, which
comprised his widow and four young
children.
