CHIEF STEWART
 MAKES STATEMENT
Says Charles Pigg Did Not Saw the Bar of the City Jail, but That
 It Was Defective for Weeks.

Chief of Police A. J. Stewart de- clares that Charles Pigg, the young white boy who escaped from the city jail Monday night, did not saw the bar to effect his escape. He says the bar was sawed for some weeks, and that all the youthful prisoner had to do was to break it and squeeze through the opening. This he did and although it was not re- ported yesterday, it developed this morning that another prisoner made his escape at the same time.
 The door between the chiefs of- flee, where two men are supposed to be on duty throughout the night, and the city jail was closed, Chief Stewart says, and there was no chance for the men on duty to have seen the prisoners escape, because they were inside the office, adjoining the chiefs office.
 'I might have been negligent in not having the defective bar taken out and another placed,' said Chief stewart, "but as far as the boy saving his way out of the city jail, that is all bosh."
 At all events Pigg is at liberty and the police have not recaptured him as yet. He telephoned police headquarters after gaining his tree- dom and informed the patrolman on duty that he would not leave the city. but would see him later.

A STATEMENT I
RHODES-HAYERTY TURN. co.

It is quite hard to make sales with a broken stock, as We could not fit out room, so in order to make our present stock move, we were forced to buy few more goods with which to fill out, therefore, we have bought two or three cars of nice new, up-to- date goods to fill in with, which makes our stock very complete. They will arrive in two or three days, and these goods will be sold cheap, with scarce ly any profit, as we are not expecting to make any money Our object is to get our stock down to $3.000 or $4,OO0 of strictly staple goods, then it will be easy to lump it to some one. . Our 9x12 rugs have just arrived, and we have big stock and fine as-
 sortment, and they go on sale at the
 same low prices as we have been closing out under; that is, $17.50 for
 the 9x12 Administers, $16.5O for 9x12
 velvets,< 9x12 genuine wilton rugs, $23. 50 and Brussels at $11 and $13.aO. We have a nice line of medium priced portiers just received. All goods are marked in plain figures.
 We will also extend few months credit to those who want it, as we
 expect to be here several months, un- ! til we can get a building at our new location

PHYSICIANS AND A|TY HEARD MCCORMACK

hohodS, DUClOI MCCOfmdCk con- tinued:
 "One-third of the people sick in this state last year, and every year. and one-third of those you took to your cemeteries were sick and died of diseases which your medical profession could and would have prevented if they could have had the intelligent cooperation of your people. You had in this year 2,O00 deaths from consumption. which means that you have about 13,S0O cases of this disease in your state constantly. The common impression is that this is an inherited malady. but this is an error No matter what your mother and father died of you can no more have consumption ex- cept by getting into your body the germs from previous case than you can raise corn or wheat on one of your rich Arkansas farms with out seed.
 You had 800 deaths from the diseases of children caused by using dirty, adulterated or spoiled milk. We often speak of the slaughter of the innocents by Herod, but he was novice in the business, as com- pared with our modern cities. You shudder with horror over the loss of life on the Larchmont and in the New York Central wreck the other day, and properly so, but more babies die needlessly during the hot season than there were peo- pl killed in both of these disasters, and it goes on almost without con- ment. And it would be cheaper for you to inspect the dairies, or sterilize the milk, and save these babies than it would to bury them. You had 300 deaths from diptheria and scarlet fever, all distinctly pre- ventable. You had 900 deaths from typhoid fever during that year.
 "In short, during this one year you had 4,0O0 deaths from these preventable diseases. Now, state has no more valuable asset than that represented in it's healthy pop ulation.
 "Acccording to the political econ- omlsts, to say nothing of the cost of caring for the sick who recovered from these diseases, this represents distinct loss to your people each year of $4,OOO,OOO, to say nothing of the cost of caring for the sick and
 burying the dead.
 Your profession has tried for years to secure the legislation
 which would prevent these diseases,
 but the average legislator honestly
 believed that they sought it for their
 own benefit, not stopping to con-
 sider that in so far as doctors pre-
 vent sickness they diminish their own income"
 IJmportance of State Board of Health. l Doctor Mccormack declared that
 a state board of health, properly financed, is just as important to this
 state as its supreme court. He urged
 the people to look at these matters
 in a business light and declared that
 the establishment of state board
 of health on a sound basis would
 be a real saving in taxes, for dis
 eases would thereby be prevented,
 where at present the cemetery or
 the Dauper's lot is the outcome.

The Pine Bluff District Missionary
 stitute of the M. E. church, South,
 bnvened at Hawley Memorial church
 kst night at 7:45 o'clock, Reverend
 w. Christie, presiding elder of the
 tstrict, presiding.
 This meeting of the Methodists in
 ur city is not one of the regular
 kethodist conferences, but a kind of
 Missionary rally of the ministers and
 kymen of the district, though the
 6ymkn are not attending so numer- l6uslg>as the ministers. The Metho- Mist organization is peculiarly con ktructed piece of machinery. A little more than half century ago a |hoted writer of the South wrote book in caricature of Methodism, call Ing it "The Great Iron Wheel" The
 Writer of that book has passed away, &he influence of the caricature was Scarcely felt among the intelligent Masses of the nation, while the influ- ence of Methodism is spreading over &he earth.
 "a There are five regular conferences Tn the great machinery of Methodism,
 dz.: The church conference, quarter
 y conference, district conference, an- hual conference and the general con ference. So, instead of great iron
 wheel" as caricatured in the bur lesQue alluded to above, it seems to

 # This missionary institute is for the Purpose of exchanging plans, dis %emanating information and gathering
 bnthusasm for the work of the
 ehur6h.
 & Reverend w. F. Evans, of Warren, Rn invited guest to the district for the special occasion, who is the mission
 ary treasurer for the annual confer
 once, led the opening prayer. Rever-
 end w. M. Hays, of Stuttgart, had
 been placed on the program for the hour. and after reading lesson from Eph. , and Cor. F, he delivered a [yery able address along the lines of Sunday school, missionary and edu- [cational work in the church. His ar #guments on Wifehood, motherhood, Eheredity and development were force |ful and eloquent. His philosophical argument and logical reasoning along ! the line of herdity brought out the climax that God designed that the church should keep up the law of hereditary in the birth of her children He then drew a striking contrast be- tween the real conversion of soul born of God, and one of those hold-up- your -hand-and -be-counted kind of con- versions. Reverend Hays described the Methodist church as one that was born from above and believed in the
 new birth.
 The congregation gave good atten l ton Sand seemed almost spellbount during the eloquent address. The meeting closed last night witf a feryent and able prayer by Rever end H. HI. Watson, pastor at Portland and Lake Village, who is a guest O the district conference. Reverend Watson is an uncle of Reverend w. c Watson, the pastor of the Lakesid church.

BOARD OF CHARITIES
To Probe the Charge Of Cruelty
Against Athens State Hospital.


Columbus, O.-GOv. Harris has di-
rected the state board of charities and
corrections to investigate the charges
made against the officials Of the Ath-
ems state hospital, in which it is al
legged that a female inmate from Vim
ton county died from being scalded in
& bath room, where she was confined
in a strait-jacket for being unruly.
The order is giVen because Of the ina
bility of the board of trustees to place
witnesses under oath. A committee
from the board, Of which Harry Nc
Fadden, of Steubenville, will be one of
the members, will take the matter up
at the institution.
Ever since the reorganization Of the
institution more than a year ago, when
DR. Hansen, of Gallipolis, was made
superintendent, there has been more
or less complaint, and it is said they
come from political enemies, who be-
long to a different faction of the repub-
lican party
Col C. r. Fisher, a member of the
board of trustees of the hospital, in
vestigated the story concerning the
scalding of the female inmate, but he
could discover no one who positively
knew that the woman had met such a
fate

William decided his share in the Red
Dog to Tom, and Tom gave papers to
William for share In the Golden
Wonder mine, on the other side of the
mountain, some miles away.
No more partners, both sad at
heart, but both too proudt o acknowl-
edge that he was the least in the
wrong, they shook hands coldly and
separated civilly enough. Since then
they had not seen one another. Katy
Holt kissed the girls at the school
goodbye, took her books in a grip
sack, turned her hack on the class
room with something Of choking
sensation, for she liked study and the
association of the young girls at the
school, and the next day her father
was surprised to see her just at night
fall come into his camp.
Tom Holt smiled, the first time in q
month. and felt better already.
Three days before Thanksgiving a
large package was brought into camp
by Indian Jack. 1t was addressed to
Miss Katy Holt. She took 1t and
gave orders that no one was to open
1t.
What is it all about, Sis?" asked
her father.
Something for Thanksgiving-the
best of all, and surprise II can keep
1t So"
Then the next day letter came for
Katy, which she opened hurriedly and
read with beating heart. 1t was from
her Uncle Will. AS she turned the
pages-there were many of them-a
twenty-dollar bill rustled out. On it
was pinned a slip of paper with the
words, For Katy"
A sudden light came into her eyes.
She called her father and told him
that she wished to ride to the town
at once and wished Indian Jack to go
with her. Consent being given, she
was soon under way, galloping over
the trails with speed.
Hello, Uncle Billy" she cried, as
she reached the camp. When she was
particularly fond she always called
Uncle VIII "Billy," and he understood
and liked the nickname when she
spoke It.
She leaped from her horse, fairly
dragged Uncle Will into his cabin and
there talked with him for long time.
He shook his head repeatedly, stamp
ed two or three times and would have
said some hard words but that Katy
each time covered his mouth with
kisses and then she hugged him and
said:
Nov, Uncle Billy, you know you
will make your little girl the sad.
.dest Of any one in the world If you
say no. and she will be the happiest
If you c.Ay will say yes"
We'll" answered Uncle VIII, ut il
the bitterest pill of my life, but l
will do it: but mind you, Katy, 1t is
all for you"
Thank you, dear; you are the best
Uncle Billy in all the world"
But mind, not word to Tom"
Not a word, Uncle"
Then she went to town and there
bought two gold rings with her 20.
dollar bill and inside Of each she had
the words engraved, DAY Of Thanks

EARLY RISING is CONDEMNED.
A Habit Which May Severely Tax the
Vital Powers.

There is no adequate support for
the impression that the early morning
hours are in any way more wholesome
or healthy than later periods Of the
day. Except in summer time they
are apt to be damp, foggy, chilly and
among the least desirable hours of
daylight 1t is quite true that during
the summer there is a sense of exhil-
aration about being abroad in these
early morning hours, but this eyapo-
rates with the dew and is apt to be
succeeded by corresponding depres-
sion and loss of working power later
In the day. | have been observing my
friends and patients for the past 20
years In this respect, and am inclined
TO the opinion that not little of the
depression and nervousness which
commonly develop in hot weather is
due to excessive exposure to light,
from habits of early rising, inherited
from agricultural ancestors, not coun-
teracted by three to four hours rest
In darkened rooms in the middle of
the day.
Secondly, that the exhilaration ex.
perlenced during the early morning
hours is an expensive luxury which
mas to be paid for later in the day.
In TACT, have found that as a general
rule, to put it very roughly, the busi-
ness or professional man who rises
an hour before 7:30 or 8, goes to
bed, or loses his working power.
an hour and half earlier in the
evening. Each individual has in
the beginning of his day about so
much working power stored up in his
brain and muscle cells. If he uses
this up with great rapidity in the
early morning hours he naturally ex.
hausts his stock the sooner in the
afternoon.
1t is largely a matter of when a
man wishes to be at his best. If his
occupation is of such a character that
he can clear off the brunt of his
work in the early morning hours, then
let him rise early. If on the other
hand he requires full vigor and readi.

part of the day, or at night, then
