Danger Signals.

From Appleton's Magazine for July.
 When a man has been overworking, his body gives him warning long before he breaks down. He loses his appetite. He cannot sleep. These are natures danger signals. If he takes the warning no harm is done. It is just so with the body poli- tic When the community has been over- spending there comes a panic. This is the body politics danger signal. The panic of last October was such signal. The coun-
 try had been overspending. The rapidity with which we have been recovering our industrial prosperity leads us to believe that the signal was needed. The common sense of the great body of Americans has always come to the front in an emer- gency. It takes only common sense to ses that as our country becomes more thick ly populated competition becomes keener
 that as competition becomes keener need less waste becomes more dangerous, req
 sonable economy more necessary, and that it becomes increasingly essential that ev- tryone shall "lxnow how to live upon a lttle' If, as we believe, the panic has taught the great body of the people this lesson, 1t was not a disaster It was a blessing in disguise. More and moro as our country grows older will the survival of the Attest mean the survival Of fhA

Miller, editor of the Daily News, Argenta, was brought to Pine Bluff yesterday to answer charges preferred against him by the publishers of the Graphic, Wilsus is an advertising solicitor and is alleged by certain papers for whom he was working to have secured con- tracts for advertising from business men for a period of one month and before turning them into the news paper offices raising them to three months, and attempting to collect his commission on the three months con- tract.

tett rom him at the time. The TWO men were facing each other, and IoI- .idaN made no movement while the TWO shots were being fired, according to the eye-witnesses, apparently being dazed, but after the second shot had been fired the pistol snapped and re- fused 10 fire.
 Then Holiday rushed at Clay, his knife with which he had been whit ting, still open, and Clay, apparently under the impression the revolver would not fire again, started 10 run Just as Holiday was about to over- take him, Clay is said to have snapped the revolver twice more, when it was discharged again, the bullet lodging in the brain of Holiday, killing him instantly. As he fell, Holiday made I lunge at his assaiIant, cutting him in the arm
 The murdered man staggered back under the shed near the spot where the three men had first been talking, and rolled. over on his face. dying in few minutes.
 Surrendered t0 Silcriii.
 Clay walked to the gate oi the wagon yard, carrying the revolver lu his hand, and no one attempted to ar rest him, C. L Kraft drove up about that time and Clay was permitted to ride to the office of Sheriff C. C. Kay anaush with him, to which official he surrendered. Clay was bleeding very freely from the cut in his arm at the time, about a pint of blood flowing from the injured arm while he was in the sheriff's office. An attempt was made to get physician to attend the wounded man in the office of the sher- if but as none could be located in their offices at that hour, an ambu lance was called and Clay sent to the City Hospital, in company with H. P. Clay of Roland, who is a member of the grand jury, and was on his way to the jury chamber to take up the work of the day when his brother ar rived to surrender to the sheriff. Dep uty Sheriff Hobbs also accompanied Clay to the hospital, where the wound was dressed and the flow of blood staunched. Clay was then placed in the county jail on commitment charging him with murder in the first degree.
 Both of the men who figured in the tragedy this morning are prominent in this county Holiday being a sue cessful farmer in Maumelle township, while Clay is a prominent sawmili owner of Roland The trouble be- tween them is of number of years stan ling.

Little Rock, Ark, Oct. S.-~(4rowing out of q dispute over the Dossession Of Charlie Clay, which was thouaht to be settled in the chancery cour, here several months ago when Chan cellOr J. k. Martjneau under writ Of habeas corpus, granted the father. F. E. Clay, the child, Clay this morning shot and killed Dan Holiday in the Schader wagon yard at 91O West Sev- enth street.

Soon after he arriv- ed at the wagon yard and had met several friends under shed where the horses are sta lied, Clay came in accompanied by friend The three men stood under the shed and talk Cd for some time, apparently being very intent on what they were saying, as they stood close together and their tones were not such as to attract the attention of the others in the yard.
 Finally Holiday. who had been fwhittling all the time, walked out in- 10 the open part of the yard. which is alrrounded on three sides by open
 beds, and Clay started as though he

GIVEN A HARD DAYS. WORK
ALL CREWS AT PoUGHKEEPSIE
On THE WATER.

POUGHKEEPSIE. N. Y, June 2O.-This
has been the first day of altogether good
water conditions that the intercollegiate
crews have had this week, and consequent
ly the oarsmen were given their hard
est days work. The Pennsylvania varsity
eight had two trials of four miles each,
an unusual proceeding. but one which
coach Ellis Ward considered would do
them no harm with tomorrow a day Of
rest and the race a week distant The
trial this evening was a rafting go, but
the crew finished SO strong as to leave
no doubt that they are not lacking in
stamina.
II am satisfied that they can go the
distance" said coach Ward. THE time
was not SO bad considering that 1t was
only the second row over a four mile
The trial was made up stream beginning
at Milton and ending at the bridge. Earl
Ter in the day the two Pennsylvania
tours had a race Of two miles. The COM
bination formed by Atkn. Breitenger
BraddCck and Ballard won by eight
lengths. and were selected to represent
Pennsylvania in the varsity four cared
race.
Most of the practice was down the river
this afternoon. Wisconsin. Cornell. and
Syracuse rowing in that direction and
going below Milton. Columbia rowed on
the upper course. The Cornell varsity

that the senior Ithaca crew is not such

Sordid Life of the Thames.
From the Outing Magazine.

The bargee on the river Thames IN
England works 10 hours a week-often
more: indeed the bargees of river and
canal are united in an endeavor 10 secure
sixteen hour-day." and. so far. with.
out success. AS for doing in the sun
Williams would like to see It, Working
twenty-foot pole. loading and unload
ing. steering through fog and night. he
finds little time for that sort OF thing
And in the little seven-by-flve cabin he
and his wife and the half-dozen children
eat and sleep in piggish propinquity.
So. coming close 10 the facts. one finds
grim and sordid life. made tolerable
only by native coarseness and the up
lifting power of alcohol. For all that the
barges make the Thames; their red sails
or marvellous dlngy greens and browns
give TO the waterway the colorful
charm Of the lagoons. Here drifts a dumb
barge. deep load ed: two men with long
sweeps keep way on her Yonder creeps
a little up-river barge; she is built low
for going under bridges. and has a tow
ing post. The little deck house is crudely
painted and there are flower pots at the
gangway. The black coal lighters swing
past. 4 red-sided powder barge. flying
the danger flag. goes by in tow, the
stumpies and topsail barges scattering
before her
These craft are more truly Of the
Thames than the great liners that come
slowly up. or the round-bellied Dutch
eel schuits. the numbering Norwegian
tramps-the ships that come from every
wet degree of latitude. You think OF
them first and last. IL is the first picture
that comes up to memory when the
Thames is far away; is the picture that
haunts you lonSest-the colored barges
on the gray water. And Williams and his
fellows are little a part of London Is
the mariners of the sugar ships and mas
tiers. a tavern hour or two is all they
get of 1t. Their world is the Thames.
