 M'vAY ASSASSIN

1t Was announced last night that a big reward would be offered today for the arrest and conviction of the assassin who so cowardly murdered Albert McVay, the wealthy cattle dealer at his home in this city Sunday night. The five McVays. brothers of
 the murdered man, will offer a re- ward of $1,000 and other rewards will
 be offered by Governor X. o. Pindall and Sheriff c. NJ. Philpot of this city. Although the authorities of this city land county have been quietly working on the murder mystery they have not given out any clue. if they have been successful in finding one.
 The murder of McVay has brought forth many theories from residents of this city, familiar with prer..Sus happenings in which the McVays and others ill Southeast Arkansas have figured prominently ill the past few years. The assassination of Albert McEay startled the entire citizenship of this usually quiet little city and death came to Albert McVay at a time when he least expected it.

A New Dere!ict DESTROYER

The new derelict destroyer Seneca
will fill an important function in the
protection of shipping. 1t will be the
duty OF, this vessel to patrol the coast
to rid it of the floating dangers and to
be IN readiness at any moment to
cruise wherever derelict may be re-
ported, either by vessels entering port
or by wireless mess g. Each sea-
SON there is list of ships missing for
unknown causes, and as it is probable
that these dangerous kulks have much
to do with sending sound ships to the
bottom, the activity of the Seneca
may be expected to reduce this list.
There will be other uses for the dere-
Ect destroyer, such as supplying sails
and provisions for vessels in distress,
or taking off crews from unseaworthy
or sinking vessels, but it's real value
Will be in Riding the sea of one of its
greatest dangers. Boston Transcript.

Table Luxury In Some PIaces-How
They Are Made PaiatabIe.
Locusts are table lu~rry in Pales-
tine and other places. The Jews fry
them in sesame oil. In Arabia Petrea
locusts are dried in the sun and ground
into kind OF -four for baking. In
Central Africa certain tribes make
them into thick brown soup.
In Madagascar they are baked in
huge jars, then fried in grease and
mixed with rice. In Algeria they
simply are boiled in water and salted
to taste. The Arabs grind and bake
them as cakes, roast them in butter
or crush them with cameps cheese
and dates. But they only resort to
this fare in tines of famine, In
Southern Russia, where locusts still
are extensively eaten by the serfs, the
insects usually are smoked in the first
instances like fish. ....... .
When required for consumption the
legs and w:ncs are broken of and the
bodies are boiled, roasted, stewed
fried or broiled. The flavor of locusts
while strong and disagreeable, be
comes mi d and readily digested when
cooked. Some locust soups scarcely
are to be distinguished from beei
broth. Fried in their own oil and
slightly salted they acquire pleasant
nutty favor.
Locust eating tribes invariably grow
fat when food is plentiful. Grubs and
caterpillars are eaten with avidity by
Parisians, and butterflies are eaten by
the natives Of Australia, silkworms In
China and harvest flies by some Afri
cans.
