MISERLY OLD MAID
ROBBED OF $4,000
Robbers Dug Up Money From Under
Front Porch Of House Occupied by
Miss Amanda Brixey, Near
Snow Ball, Searcy Co.

Marshall, March 13.-News
reached here yesterday OF the
robbing of Miss Amanda Brixey,
who lived near Snow Ball in this
county, of ABOUT $4,000 of her
hoardings. The robbers dug the
money from the ground under
the front porch, where she had
concealed it, thinking it would
be safe from all possible disturb
aDee.
She lives alone, but was i'll,
and had been taken away from
home for treatment. 1t was
generally believed about the
country that she had large
amount of money concealed about
the premises, and when she left
the house the robbers proceeded
to investigate. When Miss
Brixey was informed that she had
been robbed, she arose from her
sick bed and hurried home. From
among the rubbish IN the smoke
house she removed an old kettle
containing much gold and other
money found elsewhere. She
also has considerable money de.

In many respecss the most remark

that which has just been concluded

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK
Dispatches to Dun's Review lndi-
cate Improvement, But Progress
Is not Rapid.
GRAIN AND LIVE STOCK MOVING FASTER
Chicago, st. Louis and Kansas City
All Report improved Conditions in
Trade-Bank Clearings Throughout
the Country Still Below Normal, But
West Shows Small Loss.

New York, Mar 14-Dispatches TO
Dun's Review indicate that improve
ment is still discernibse in the gem
eral business situation although pro-
gress is not rapid. Dry goods job
bers report uneven trade with good
demand from the west and southwest.
Textile manufacturers at Philadelphia
report much Idle machinery but orders
gradually increase, especially for
clothing The steel market is quiet
but demand increases and locomotive
builders have new orders.
At Baltimore money is tight and col
lections poor. Atlanta reports jobbing
trade quiet. Conditions are gradually
improving at Louisville. st. Louis re-
ports the attendance of outside buyers
still large and mail orders are increas-
ing. Most manufacturers operate about
half time, and business in agricultural
implements shows distinct improve
ment Kansas City reports buying as
somewhat conservative and the imple-
ment trade is quiet because all farmers
in the vicinity are busy.
At Chicago trade exhibits further
recovery and there is not only i'm
provement in both production and dis
tribution, but heavier movements of
grain, flour a I'D live stock than year
ago and better demand for money. Re-
tail trade at Cincinnati Is dull inillin-
cry jobbers are busy and some demand
has appeared for pig iron. Much new
building is contemplated and demand
for merchandise supplies equals pre-
vious years. Demand for spring mer-
chandise at st. Paul expands. Con
sentative buying at Portland, Ore, by
interior merchants curtails wholesale
trade but retail business is fairly good
and bankers report a more satisfactory
financial situation.
Bank clearings are still far below
normal, total exchanges this week for
all leading cities in the United States
being $1,S62 SIP ,6S4. loss of 37.5 per
cent compared with a year ago and
26.4 per cent compared with the cor
responding week of 1906 At most
western centels the loss is very small
and at several important points there
is a gain over both preceding years
Activity in the stock market swelled
bank exchanges at New York in
March, 1907 and the absence of such
activity this year is reflected in the
relatively smaller figures. To some
extent this also appears in the com
parison at Boston and Philadelphia
Pittsburg and San Francisco still show
heavy losses, rejecting conditions at
those points, The average daily figures
for March are at the low point for the
year to date and clearly show to what
extent current bank settlements are
| restricted.

THE TATsu MARu CASE.
China and Japan Are Still in Confer
enee Regarding a Settlement
of Matter.

Pekin, Mar. 14-There was further
Baron Hayashi, the Japanese minister
10 China, and Ma Tung and Yuan Shin
Kai. representing the Pekin govern
ment, over the Tatsu Maru incident.
No final understanding was reached
and the discussion of the matter is to
be continued.
Baron Hayashi proposed that China
pay the purchase price, something
over 100000, of the arms on board
the Tatsu Maru If she insisted upon
their retention, as well as demurrage
for the time the vessel has been in
the hands of the Chinese authorities.
He insisted, however, that China re
lease the steamer and that Chinese
warships fire salute to her flag In
the presence of Japanese consul. In
consideration of this Japan could re-
linquish her claim for payment for
the arms and leave the matter OF the
punishment to the officials who are
responsible for the lowering of the
Japanese flag on the Tatsu Maru to
the discretion of China. To the pro
posais China replied that she was will
ing to restore the vessel and incor.
porate an apology for the flag incident
In the final settlement. China has
presented her side of the case to the
