 Jury.

Jack Ryder alias James Harding, who was arrested recently on a charge of forgery, was tried yesterday afternoon at o'clock in Justice L. E Cheeks court. He is charged with having forged a check on the Ander- son-Bacon Drug company for $3e.25 .o the Bank of Pine Bluff, and another on Lev Fowler for $3425 to the Citi- zens Bank. He was arrested at Be- dells pharmacy, where he tried 10 cash the Lev Fowler check. In his pocket were found the names of sev- era1 of Pine Bluffs business men and it was supposed that he intended to make use of their names. After two hours of legal debate, he was bound over to await the action of the grand jury which convenes September 16. His bond was fixed at $500 in both cases, in default of which he was re- manded to jail. T. Havis Nixon has been employed by Ryder to get him out of the trouble. He says his home is in St. Louis.

HIGH LIFE GIVEN
 TOUCH OF HIGH LIFE
Local Ball Teams Winning Streak Was Broken at Arkansas City Yesterday, When They Lost
 Two Games.

Arkansas City made it two straight
 from the Miller's High Life team
 yesterday afternoon in double header. Both games were fast from start to finish. The strain of contin. ued bali playing has made itself felt upon the High Life lads and they play cd without their usual snap and vigor. Pitcher Jacquimine, for the Arkansas City boys, proved a complete puzzle for the Pine Bluff aggregation and only two hits were netted off his delivery. The batteries were Gallagher and Chestnut for Pine Bluff and Jacqui- nina and Powell for Arkansas City. The pitching of Met Galligher was al so feature. He allowed only three hits. No errors were charged agains. either side, but the hits. Of the Arkan-

FRIDAY, JUNE IA, 1907.
NATIONS DRINK BILL.

The people of the United States during the year 1906 paid out more for drinks, (aside from wa ter and other naturally provided drinks) more money than the Fifty eighth congress appropriated for all purposes combined.
 The statement seems atounding yet, according to accurate figures just issued, it seems to be abso- lutely true.
 The country was astounded when congress paid out $1 900, 100000 from the national treasury. Yet the people of this country paid for alcoholic and non-alcoholic stirnu- lants the sum of s1,s67, 7,083.610.
 This is cetainly a great thirst even for nation of people, an av- craze of $17.94 per capita, or Sss.7o for each family of five.
 According to the statistics just issued the money paid for such drinks is divided as follows
 Alcoholic drinks $1, ,450,855,448 Cofee ........ 160,945,235 Tea .......... 46,282,927 Cocoa ........ s,000,DOu
 This list it will be seen is ex- elusive of all temperance drinks sold and consumed during the summer and winter months, which would probably swell the grand total many millions more.
 For the first time in history the consumption of beer in this country exceeded that of coffee. During 1906 this nation drank 1,699,S95.- GAP gallons of beer and s24.6s7-. O23 gallons of coffee.
 The amount expended for this class of drinks exceeded the value Of any cereal crop raised in the United States during 1906.

In this repect the Graphlc repeats that Mir. Adams and his Daily World are most fortunate. It is too often the case that the fight of newspaper for civil or political improvement and oetterement is received with cold 'hdlHerence and it's efforts permit ted to go unaided by the general pubic.

HENRIC0 NOTES.
Smaller Number of Applicants for
Liquor Licenses This Year.

Liquor Licenses This Year.
Judge Scott, In the Henrico Circuit
Court, spent yesterday considering APP
plications for liquor licenses, eleven
being issued by tho court during the
day. Several applications We're refused
among others the request Of various
social clubs" The applications of the
Lakeside Country Club and of the Deep
Run Hunt Club have not been received
1t is thought that these and some others
will be presented to the court this
morning.
The list OF those granted yesterday
is as follows: s. Dwyer. retail license,
Osborne Turnpike; j. II. Floyd, retail,
Brook Turnpike; Joseph Hoffman. re-
tail, Meadow Bridge Road; Henrlco Dis
tillery. manufacturers license; Mary

Samuel N. West. retail, Seven Pines;
Rosenegk Brewery Company, manufac-
turers; S. S. Henley, retail, Short Pump;
Gymnasium Social Club, Twenty-e1ghth
and N Street. aa ~
Considerable comment is occasioned
by tho comparatively small number Of
applications for license In tho county.
Last year owe forty licenses were
granted on the opening day. The DIFF
ference Is largely due to the annexation
of the thickly settled territory around
the city, a large number OF retail LIQUOR
houses and saloons having been taken
into Richmond, On account OF the
strong opposition OF the property holders
in the neighborhood. the application
was withdrawn for the establishment
Of a saloon neal the Curtis Neck planta-
ton.

VERY LITTLE Leaf

The loose leaf tobacco market seems
TO be reaching the fag end, II yester-
days breaks are to be a criterion.
There were only three sales. and they
did not aggregate $4,000 pounds. The
offerings were of the better STOCK,
however, and the buyers bid on them
with as much animation as II there
had been heavy breaks.
The warehousemen think the stocks
remaining in the hands of the farmers
are now exceedingly small. and they
do not look for breaks that will run
as high as $4,000 pounds any moro
this season. The sales to-day will
begin at Crenshaw's, second at Shei-

Hill71Iarriman Encounter Helped
Rising Movement Monday, but
d 1t Was Professional.

NEW YORK, April 23.-The specula-
tive element in the stock market was
greatly disappointed to-day over the
way In which prices were turned back
wards from their upward course of yes
terday, The action to-day was accepted
as conclusive of the professional char
acter of yesterdays rise and of q large
proportion of covering by shorts in the
buying which caused 1t. The casual
encounter between Mr.. Hill and Mr.
Hartman, and the fact that 1t gave
rise to no outward show of hostility,
seems to have been the principal basis
for most of yesterdays buying, which.
1t will be remembered, converged large
ly on the Hill and Hartman railroad
stocks. This seems to have been recog-
MED to day as rather an unsubstantial
ground on which to base renewal Of
bull movement in stocks, although
there was show of excitement in
Union Pacific late in the day. So far
as yesterdays rise was due to expecta-
tation of Improvement in the wheat
crops news, there was ground for the
reaction to-day in the disappointment
of the hopes of abundant rains in tho
sections from which complaints have
come of the need of them The reality
of this need was brought out in the
weekly bulletin of the Weather Bureau.
Its report of urseasonaby cold weather
and want of rain in much of the wheat
country east of the Rocky Mountains
empha sized the effect of to-day's re-
ports that the expected showers had
proved acanty. a renewed outpourlng
of crop reports flowed into Wall Street,
and into the wheat pit in consequence,
Eel, aca ctr hnr
was some renewal of the tone of ap
prehension over the industrial! outlook.
which has weighed recently upon the
market
The early rise in prices seemed to
be due to foreign influences. The brisk
rally late in the day was largely in
sympathy with some extraordinary
transactions in Union Pacific, which
rushed that stock up to the highest
level of the day.
