MILKING MIR. ROCKEFELLER

In the statement of the sources of the school fund is this item:
 Antitrust fines S9, l55.25
 Mir. Rockefeller, the greatest of trust magnates, has taken much interest in education Many millions of dollars has been given to various universities and other institutions. But Arkansas has a sort of short circuit arrangement by which the current of Mir. Rockefeller s wealth is in some small degree shunted into the common school fund without ever leaving the state. This magnate must get some consolation from know ing that his involuntary contribution to the revenues of Arkansas will be used for educational purposes.-Arkansas Ga zette.

Buttons

They encroach upon hitherto unex. plored sections of feminine garb.
 They are the distinguishing note of all the fall and winter costumes.
 They are scattered impartially upon coat and skirt, both back and front, and sleeve and collar.
 They are of all sorts, sizes, conditions and colors, but they must be many.
 They will be employed extensively to close, or apparently close, panels on the skirts.
 They will be used in tapping one gore over another, and very often the whole skirt will be closed with them.
 It should be remembered that buttons must be of good quality, and must cor respond with the character of the frock or suit.

BILLY" SUNDAY IN RAID
Sermons of Evangelist Printed Without
 His Permission

CHICAGO, September l5.-Billy Sun day, former professional baseball play CT, but now an evangelist, resented the publication of a book of sermons by a publishing company of Hammond, Ind, yesterday by dashing into the stereotyp- ing rooms of the publishing house and destroying the plate with mallet. At the conclusion of his performance he broke down and wept.
 Sunday was incensed because 1000 copies of the book had been, issued by the company without his permission. It had been his intention to gather his ser mons and have them published himself.

PITTSBURG AGAIN

Pittsburg has become so accustomed to the tottering and falling of moral skyscrapers who had made millions in steel or coke or wall paper that she was interested, but not excited, the other day when the report was given out that a physical skyscraper--a building of twenty-seven stories-was on the point of tumbling down to the sidewalk. But there proved to be no foundation in fact for the rumor. The physical sky scraper is not in love with an actress and has a backbone of the best Pitts burg steel.-Savahnah News.

A New Girdle

The girl who wants something new in the way of waist adornment should copy the French idea made of lace and ribbon. Embroidery may be used for a simple frock.
 Whichever one chooses, it should be about five inches wide, bound at the sides and back. It is edged top and bottom with tiny frill of lace.
 There are wide buttonholes across the center, all the way around the waist, and through these s threaded a two inch band of colored silk ribbon, which is tied in an upright bow with short ends at the back.

Sofa Cushions

Newest sofa cushions are made of two materials-for instance, burlap and den i'm. In such case denim would be the cover itself, while a design, usually conventional, may be cut from the mid dle and filled in with burlap, which is pasted into place on the under side. The edges of the denim are then but tonNoled to the burlap, which not only prevents the latter from slipping, but

ELEVEN KILLED IN WRECK.
Many Others Injured in Collision on
Northeastern Railroad.

New Orleans. Nov. 12.-Later re-
ports from LittlcwoOd's Station put
the number of dead at eleven. The
wreck was caused by error Of the sig
mailman. When Engineer Blackman
Of the Great Northern train passed
Slidell, he claims he was given the
usual right Of way signal and pro-
cecdcd ahead at a forty-iivc mile clip.
AS he approached the station at Lit
tlcwOOd'S he diSccrncd the Northern
local, which suddenly loomcd up
from beneath a canopy OF fog.
Engineer Blackman applied his
lakes and remained at the throttle,
nile the pondcrOus locomotive
ploughCd its way through the train
ahead, leaving behind it a channel
of death. The engine tore through
two rear cars OF the Northeastern
train. and no one on the Great Mort H.
crn was injured.
In addition to the eleven dead 20
injured have been taken from the
wI,ckagc.
Reports from the wreck say that
the scene is horrible beyond words.
The means Of the dying were heart
rcnding and the diSfigured bodies Of
the dead formed an awful spectacle.
Only one doctor was aboard either
of the trains. He worked in IIercu-
lean manner, admirably assisted by
the passengers.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by ioc2l applications, as they cannot
reach The diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the Eustachian
tube. When this tube is inhamed
you have a rumbing sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars
for any case Of deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circu-
lars, free.

THE BEST DEFECTIVE.
None Superior 20 a Jealous Woman
With Sharp Eye.

st. Petersburg, Russia, Nov. Ia
When Madam Wasil, wife OF the
| banker, returned from a trip to Paris
| the other day, she found her rnsi-
| dence full OF detectives and lawyers.
| The night before twenty-six thousand
| roubles had mysteriously disappear
| ed from her husbands desk In the
| bedroom.
Madam Wasil wasted very little
sympathy on her wailing husband.
Being of an energetic turn Of mind,
| she ordered the police to clear out,
| adding that within twenty-four hours
she herself would furnish clue. At
the appointed time she appeared he
| fore the chief of detectives, produc-
| ing three artificial teeth, fifteen long
| red hairs and silk cushion bearing
the marks of face powder, paints and
| cosmetics.
AS I thought, my husband had his
affinity In the house when the theft
was committed. Her name and ad-
dress l do not know, but the hair,
| teeth and marks on the sofa cushion
ought to help you to identify her
and recover the money" said the
lady.
And they did. Detectives quickly
| found out that the hair was the same
as that afforded by a certain actress,
well known in the world, living for
amusement only Inquiry among the
| fashionable dentists ELECTED the fact
| that the same woman had given an
! order for three front teeth, which she
had mysteriously mislaid.
The chief Of police sent for the ac-
tress, and while keeping her waiting
dispatched two of his slickets men
| to her house to search for the money.
1t was not found. Followed con-
sultation with Madam Wasil.
"Tell her | will not prosecute if
| she gives up the money" said the
bankers wife, adding in an under
| tone: Neither will | promise that
| won't give her the soundest drub-
| bing she ever had"
The actress. facing q long prison
sentence, voluntarily surrendered the
| twenty-siX thousand roubles. Then.

COTTON REPORT OF BUREAU.
Worlds Production Has Increased
2,31O,OOO Bales.

The worlds production Of cotton
for mill consumption during the
year ending August 81, 1908, eX-
ceeded by 100000. bales the pro-
duction Of the previous year, accord
ing to the Census Bureaus report on
the supply and the distribution of
the cotton crop, issued last week. 1t
is a significant fact, the report shows,
that the fluctuations in the worlds
supply Of cotton is measured practi-
cally by the variations in the annual
production in the United States.
If the consumption Of cotton in
1909 equals that in 1908 the United
States, it is declared, must contribute
about 12,50O,000 bales to prevent
further decrease in stocks. The num-
Der of cotton spindles in this coun-
try is 27,964,3S7, the distribution
among the States giving Massachu-
sets "a per cent, South Carolina 13
per cent and North Carolina II per
cent. Rhode Island ranks fourth in
the list. The number OF spindies has
increased % per cent in the last
eight years and the consumption of
cotton "a per cent.
The annual exports of manufactu-
res of cotton are declared to be sub
jCct to wide fluctuations, those for
1908 amounting to $25, 5,177,752 Or
less than one-half the value of eI-
ports for 1906, which aggregated ~
value more than $5O,O0O,00O. The
reduction is due to the selling off of
the exports to China. An interesting
fact to producers is that the total
cotton supply of the country for
1908, amounting to 4,449,3OO bales,
81 per cent, was consumed in the
United States.

The Rcclfoot Night Riders.
(ChattanoOga News.O

"
Those Reelfoot fishermen who
have been brought into the public eye
by the brutal murder of Capt. Rankin
are a type of men about which the
common run Of people know absolute
ly nothing. They come as near being
cliff dwellers as any men now on the
American continent, unless memberc
OF the old stock are to be found.
They live in crevices, or assures in
the banks OF the lake. They have no
other homes on God Almighty's earth
and want no other. They have their
women and children with them; some
OF them keep a COW and horse, and
whip their wives just like their stock.
AT points the banks of the lake are
several feet high, and the abiding
places of the fishermen are under
these banks, or else in small caves
in some Of the surrounding hills. A
piece Of ground thirty feet high is
called hill in the lake country.
These men are native stock for the
most part, but foreign and Indian
blood is occasionally seen among
them. They are said to be utterly
unconscious OF any law save that OF
might, but they are rarely concerned
about anything except taking fish
from the lake. Probably 5000 year
is an average income of one of these
fishermen. On this he supports him
self and family. If let alone he Is
harmless; but when aroused he is a
dangerous man. He will shoot on the
slightest prOvocation, and ihs aim Is
deadly. How Col. Taylor escaped is
one of the marvellous circumstances
of the whole diabolical affair.
