The mayor had no mercy on them, but
shut his eyes and said S25 dollars and

paid their fines, there will be none at

that watermelons are not thing tc

serious trouble.-Davis City Lariat.

Believed He Will Try to Locate
$4,000 in Gold Dust
He Stole.
HIS HAUL WAS LARGE.

Tacoma, Wash, Aug. 22.-Robert E.
Miller was released from the federal
penitentiary on McNeill's island a day
or two ago and left at once. He was
followed by Pinkerton detectives who
believe Miller will attempt to recover
$4,000 in gold dust stolen from
Alaska mails which he is believed to
have hidden somewhere.
Miller was freight clerk on an AL
aska Steamship and stole, it is al
legged, large amounts of gold dust in
transit to Puget Sound. 1t was
charged that he emptied one box CT
gold dust and substituted shot. An
other member of the crew stole the
same box and was amazed to discover
that it had already been robbed. The
last thief left the box open in con-
spicuous place and the robbery was
discovered before the ship reached
port. The gold dust was consigned to
a Seattle bank and was valued at $780,
600.
Miller was arrested and detectives
recovered $4,000 worth of dust which
was hidden under wharf at Fair
banks.

GentIeWoman viii Find Trou-
BILE to Maintain GentiIity
In Money Struggle.
MANY ENTANGLE MENTs
WOMAN, WHOSE FINANCIAL VEN
TURES HAVE RESULTED DIS
ASTROUSLY SAYS WOMAN'S
SPHERE is AT HER HOME.

New York, Aug. 22.-"There is no
place for an American gentlewoman
In the financial life of this country.
The fact she is a gentlewoman mill
tates against her. My advice to all
would-be women hnanciers is plainly
and emphatical1y this: Keep away
from the lure of financial enterprises.
Don't hope that you can succeed. 1t
Is impossible"
This Is the advice of woman whose
position and experience qualify her to
speak with authority. She is Mrs.
Josephine Dilks Robinson, whose vast
business ventures in connection with
the Twenty-first Street Building and
Construction Company have resulted
80 unfortunately that she declares she
has abandoned the world of finance
forever.
The financial entanglements due to
this venture were brought to light in
supplementary proceedings when John
C. Weir. of the brokerage firm of Weir
Bros, sued to recover a loan of $3.50.
"It is my first business enterprise
and it shall be my last" declared Mrs.
Robinson. "In it have sunk small
fortune-all belonging to myself and
my family This / wish to make per-
fectly clear. I did not borrow from
others In order to{embark in this en-
.terprise-it is all personal matter,
and it is I, personally, who suffers
from the losses.
mo woman-no gentlewoman, at
1east-is fitted to cope with the meth
DDS of the modern financier. She is
no match for those who, so to speak,
understand the game. She can not
match her wits with theirs-she can
not, surely, handle them with their
own weapons. If she should try to
do that-why, she simply would not
be a gentlewoman, don't you see?"

Prisoners in Jail Actually Com
plain About Their Too
Good Food.
NO MORE HOPE REMAINS.

Harrisburg. Pa, Aug. 22.-Inmates
of the Perry county jail are being ov-
erfed and are actually complaining
about it. This unusual state of affairs
was discovered by Bromley Wharton,
general agent of the state board OF
charities, who inspected the new
Bloomfield institution.
Mr. Wharton had heard of some
complaints about the food, but sup
posed, of course. it was the usual one
of not enough to eat. Then when he
assembled the prisoners he heard this
from the spokesman:
Mister, we are being overfed. The
sheriff's wife doesn't take into &C
count the fact that we are cooped up
here without a chance to hustle
around and get exercise, and yet she
feeds us on pie and cake and a lot OF
rich things calculated to make us all
grouchy with dyspepsia. Please make
her stop"
Il certainly shall try" replied Mr.
Wharton.

A Mexican P. o. Order.

Postmaster Rhodes was set to scratching his head and guess ing hard the other day when A. J. Cox presented to him what pur- ported to be a Mexican money order for twenty dollars drawn upon the Green Forest office.
 Not being educated in the Spanish language, Mir. Rhodes was unable to read a word of the order except the amount it called for and the officeupon whichit was drawn, which was plainly shown to be Green Forest, Ark. U. s. A.
 After saying Dog Snolies" about 'steen times and turning the mysterious paper over and over again, Mr. Rhodes con- cluded he would worry the Post office Department at Washington little, so he enclosed the gentleman" in a letter of in- quiry to the Fourth Assistant Postmaster General and ask him what to do in the premises.
 The order was sent Mr. Cox by his son Perry, who is seeking his fortune in the mining business in the state of Sonora, and the way he writes he seems to believe he is in warm pursuit. He has be- come interested in a proposition with some Mexicans who claim to know where rich strike can be made, and they are now busy looking into the matter.

He thinks so and he would like to see some ef- fort made here in the same di- rection.
 The dispatch referred to as follows:
 Washington Dec. 23.-Logan w. Page, director of the office of public roads of the agricultural department, has assured Senator Stone that this department will gladly co-operate with the state highway engineer with view to inaugurating and conducting educational work in the matter of goods roads in Missouri. He will put complete outfit of ma chinery in the state for the entire season, with a corps of competent engineers.

Z When it was sold at receivers sale a few weeks ago, it was bid in by At torney F. O. Butt for S16, the substance purchased being a sterotyped headline, the sub- scription list and good will. What Butt wanted with the busi- ness is a subject concerning which Eureka Springs people are still guessing. It seems quite certain, however, that he had the same relative idea in view that the fellow did who sought to drink up all the whiskey as a means of promoting prohibition. Butt no doubt feels that SIS is no money to spend when he can land republicanism such a blow as to deprive it of an "augin. :"

Banks Consolidated.

The First National Bank of Eureka Springs and the State Bank have been consolidated leaving Eureka Springs with only one banking institution, but it is good strong one, and will meet all the demands of the city.
 The State Bank was organized on the heels of the failure of the Citizens Bank last July and was enjoying nice business, However, for business reasons the consolidation was deemed advisable. One bank properly managed is as good or better than two in town, which fact is demonstrated fully by the experience of Green Forest in this respect.
