give the name of the man from whom
 it was purchased
 Remarks record is against him, having once served a term in the pen
 itentiary at Little Rock for horse stealing. He is being held and be- cause of the fact that no person has reported saddle horse as having been stolen in this neighborhood, the au- thorities are unable to make a case against the negro, although they firm ly believe that he is guilty of grand larceny.
 The authorities have requested newspapers to publish the recovery of the horse here that its owner might be 1 located. The horse is a medium sized animal with roach mane. and white
 saddle marks. It has all saddle gaits
 and is possessed of white hind feet.
 The officials here are especially anx-
 ious to find the owner. They believe that the horse was stolen from Ar
 kansas county.

Attorney Sorrells secured the re- lease of his client on bond, through habas corpus proceedingss two weeks after the killing.
 The Jefferson county grand jury recently indicted Ed and George McVay. brothers of Hardy's slayer, on a charge of being accessory to the murder. Another indictment, charging John M. McVay with carrying a revolver, was also re- turned at the same time. It is believed that Attorneys Sorrells and Colman will defend the accused brothers also.

ONE OF THE FIRST
 CITY NARSHALS
D. '. Bricvkley, an Old and Highly Respected Resident of This City, Died Yesterday at the Age or
 Eighty Years.

D. V. Bricgley, 80 years old, died at his home, 827 Walnut street, yesterday afternoon. His death was due principally 'to old age. Mir. Brickley was one of Pine Bluffs first city marshals, and was known to almost every old resident of this county. He lived with his sou at the Walnut street address and was highly esteemed and ad mired by old companions and others who knew him. He was kindly in nature, at all times energetic, and in early years was one of the most progressive spirited men in this section of the state Mir. Brickley made his home in Pine Bluff for nearly fifty years. His son, Will
 Brickley, who is connected with T. E. Buck and Company's whole sale liquor house. is the only sur viving relative. The funeral will take place this afternoon at 7 o'clock from the family residence. 1nterment in Bellwood cemetery.

CASHIERS CHECKS ARE
 AS GOOD AS GOLD

trading until the financial troubles blow over.
 The financial situation is improv- ing daily and it will be only ques-
 tion of time that all the cashiers checks find their way back into the
 banks and are cancelled.
 The railroad employees are so un- reasonable in some instances as to blame the local merchants and bank CTS for the present flight money" con- ditions. The railroad company, issu- ing their checks, is largely to blame. A local banker stated yesterday that urgent requests were made by local bankers of the higher officials of the Cotton Belt some days ago that they send enough cash to local banks to pay off their cheeks on pay day. It is stated that the officials promised to do so. but the money never ma teralized. In view of the fact that the local banks have in the past cared for the railroad company's checks
 monthly without the money being first sent here with which to redeem them, their failure to send the money here to meet their payroll at this time, is being unfayorably commented on.
 Hundreds of bales of cotton were brought to this city Friday and Sat urday and the checks given for the fleecy staple were honored at local banks, which gave the holders cash iers' certificates. They were as vel come as currency to the farmers and others who sold their cotton and they are making their purchases and trans acting their usual business in the same manner as in former days, when currency, gold and silver were more plentiful in these parts. Don't be cranky" suggest bankers and busi- ness men, take cashiers checks. They are worth their weight in gold

DEATH CLAIMS
 MISS RUTH M'BRIDE
Was For Many Years Superintendent of the Pine Blpff Public Schools Was Woman of Unusual
 Intellect,

Miss Ruth l1cBride, who was for many years superintendent of the Pine Bluff public schools, died at the home of her sister at Locke, Arkan- sas, Friday after an illness of some weeks duration. While she had been in bad health for many weeks her death was wholly unexpected and came as a great surprise to her many friends in Pine Blun. where she was so well known and admired.
 Miss Mcbride was 58 years old. She retired from the public school service here several years ago, but later re- turned and was in charge of one of the departments at Miss Jones' school on West Sixth avenue for sev- eral months. Her health failing, she then went to Locke to live with her sister. She taught many pupils dur ing her career here and will be re- mem bered by them, some of whom are now numbered among Pine Bluff busi- ness men. The funeral will take place at Van Buren this morning. The services will be conducted at the First Presbyterian church there.
 Miss Mcbride was an unsual wo- man. She possessed such traits of character, was so cultured, elegant and refined to gather about her a great chain of devoted friends and ad mirers. She was loved for her deeply religious and charitable nature. She was admired because of her brilliance. Her devotion to her work and genial manner endeared her to her pupils and friends, and the news of her death with sorrow

A FEW ARE FOOLISH
Railroad Company Promised to Send Money Here to Redeem Checks, But Failed to Do So-EmplOyes Trad- ing in Usual Way With Certifi. cates.

The local employees of the Cotton Belt received about S50,o00 in monthly pay checks Friday and they are experiencing much trouble in getting them readily cashed be- cause many of them are refusing to accept cashiers certificates, not Withstanding the fact that they are we'll aware that the checks are worth one hundred cents on the dollar Others, more liberal in their views and realizing that cer- titicates are as good to them and of as much value as Uncle Sans greenback notes, are accepting them without argument. Those who re- fused lcashier's certificates Friday night and yesterday morning chang ed their minds last night and ac- cepted cashiers checks as last resort.
 Downtown merchants We're as liberal as they could be in caring for their customers, They gave almost all of them part money and part cashiers certificates, but in no few cases were they compelled to miss sales where customers de- clined to accept cashiers checks, declaring that they would not give up their pay checks unless they were given the full amounts in cur rency. silver or gold. Many con- tended that they were going ont of the city and could not use the cashiers checks elsewhere. This contention was not well founded, bcause it is reliably stated that the cashiers checks are being accepted everywhere. Pine Bluff merchants are receiving cashiers checks from other cities and it is a we'll known fact that cashiers checks issued here and endorsed or protected by the Pine Bluff Clearing House As- sociation, which is composed of all of F4ne Bluffs strong banking insti- tutions, are being accepted the same as currency in other cities and towns. There are no few cashiers checks from Helena, Mem phis, Fort Smith, St. Louis and other cities received by local mer- chants daily and the local banks are receiving them as deposits the same as if they were gold or silver
 Some of the railroad employees, holding monthly pay checks, held them until Saturday morning and presented them at local banks, be- lieving that they would receive money in full, but they were sadly disappointed when the banks hand ed them cashiers checks. The merchants were even doing more for them than the banks, in that they were willing (and are still dO- ing so- to give them part money and part cashiers checks. when purchases are made or bills are paid.
 Cashiers checks have the same use and value as cash in paying bills, making purchases and in de- frayine incidental expenses. There is no reason why they should be re- fused. All this opposition to cash iers' checks is foolishness, declare conserva, ve ones, who fully realize that the banks issued the checks simply to enable the laboring peo- pie and others, who are dependent on their daily earnings, to readily

Splendors of Cafes.

The cafes and hotels Of New York
are rivaling each other in the almost
oriental splendor with which they have
fitted up small rooms for dinner and
after theater parties. At one cafe near
Broadway the sides Of one Of these
rooms are composed entirely Of mir
rors. after the French fashion, while
the ceiling is covered with green leaves
and grapes, punches Of pink and purple
grapes of glass, within which are cleo
trio lights. The effect is that Of beau
tiful arbor. Another cafe has mirrors
rejecting small red lights throughout
the room, while the ceiling, also Of
mirrors, is an exquisite imitation Of
moonlight, the effect Of which is OBJ
tanned by electrics inclosed in globes
of the color and sheen Of moonlight
seen through delicate tracery of faint
green leaves.-Exchange.

CRACK NUT SUNDAY.
Queer Method Of Hearing a Sermon
Still In Use In England.

"One fine autumn Sunday attended
a service in a north Of England coun-
try church that would have driven a
New York preacher clean crazy" said
the man who travels. 1.-The congrega-
ton didn't do thing but sit around
and crack nuts. Fancy New York
minister talking to a crowd OF that
kind! The modem preacher likes to
have things quiet when he talks. 1t
disconcerts him to hear baby cry or
a woman cough or an old man snore.
If he is put out by such trifles as these,
it is interesting to conjecture what he
would do if he We're to take hold Of
congregation where everybody brought
nuts to crack during the sermon.
"Worshipers, it seems, used to do
this in England and even In our own
states during colonial days. This dis
turbance was not a weekly occurrence
by any means. If it had been, the
poor preacher would have undoubted-
" left his flock to administer spiritual
consolation to suit themselves. But as
it happened only once year he was
forced to endure it. This one day
which was attended by such remarka-
BILE license came the Sunday before
Michaelmas day and was called crack
nut Sunday Nobody, no matter how
pious he might be. hesitated to avail
himself Of the peculiar privilege grant
ed him, and men, women and children
came to church with their pockets
stuffed with nuts, which they compla-
Gently cracked and munched during
the sermon.
1T was that kind Of sermon that
so impressed me with its oddly. 1t
can be easily imagined that when for
ty or fifty people get to cracking nuts
with all their might the noise Is apt to
be something terrific, and many times
the minister was hard put to it to
hear himself think That custom,
from being regarded with high favor
for many years, finally came to be
looked upon as nuisance, and the
habit was suppressed, except in a few
remote localities, although the act of
suppression was attended with consid-
cradle difficulty, 50 firmly had the nut
cracking fever taken hold of the fancy
Of the people."-New York Press.
