Death of Mrs. w. e. Ivey.


Mrs. w. E. Ivey died at her home at
Linwood, near Benton, at an early hour
Wednesday morning, aged about thirty
three years. She was sister OF Mr..
James H. Cabeen, deceased, and Miss
Dollie Cabeen, and niece of Messrs.
James B. and A. r. Thompson, we'll
known and highly esteemed citizens OF
this parish.
For many months Mrs. Ivey was con-
fined to her bed of intense suffering and
everything possible was done for her
relief and restoral. The untiring devo-
ton of her devoted husband was touch
ing and beautiful.
Asa wife and mother she was faithful
and loving, recognizing that the special
field of labor to which God called her
was the home. Here she devoted her
time and strength toward making it a
happy place. She will be sorely missed
in her home, in her church and in her
wide circle Of friends and relatives.
The heartfelt sympathy of all go out
to the bereaved husband and sorrowing
relatives. May the tender and plying
Father be near unto them in their great
sorrow and brighten the darkened home.

NEW YORK, oct. 24-seHsationaI as
have been the disclosures Of Charles W

terest was eclipsed today by hints that
his co-defendant, Alfred H Curtis

the prosecution.
Day by day Curtis has sat In Judge
Hough's court and heard the financial
schemes Of Morse disclosed in a way
that he might not have thoroughly I'M
derstood IN the days when he was tool
for the ice King" Day by day he
has seen the testimony outline the
methods used by Morse to further his
plans in the Ice trust, the Steamship
trust, and the chain Of banks scheme,
and his conferences with Morse have
grown fewer and his attitude TO his
former associate more frigid.
Earlier in the case. when it was said
Curtis might turn States evidence, w.

Day of Excitement in Chi
cago's Gambling War.
Thirty-three Arrested.
BOMB THROWERS
REMAIN HIDDEN
Explosions Always Occur in Front
of Notorious Gaming Joints.
Reason Unknown.

CHICAGO, Oct. 2l.-The arrest OF thir-
ty-three men in "a gambling raid today,
followed the explosion of bomb twenty
three, in the gamblers war, that has
been waging in Chicago since George
w. Shippy became head OF the police
department.
The helplessness of the police against
the mysterious person or persons who
have been throwing bombs at gambling
houses for the purpose OF calling atten-
ton to the freedom allowed gamblers,
has been the cause OF numerous church
sermons, resolutions from refo I'M organ
izations. and ridicule of the police de-
partment
Raid a Bluff.
The raid" this afternoon was on a
cigar store, where the men arrested
were shaking dice playing cards. put
not betting on the races. Edward Klein
is the owner of the store, which is To-
Gated al 2ll Van Buren, street Within
a couple Of blocks OF the store is the
headquarters of the gambling clique in
Chicago. near Van Buren, ana State
streets. but no effort was made to mol
est that place. The raid is looked upon,
as a bluf by Shippy and his aids, to
show that the gamblers are not enjoying
themselves as easily as is generally be-
Heved.
Directed at Gamblers.
Bomb No. % was fired early this
morning in a saloon where gambling has
never existed. II is not believed that
the gamblers enemies threw the latest
one. The others have been directed
chiefly at OLeary's, where the biggest
handbook of the country was run when
gambling and race tracks fourished in
Chicago; Rogers & O'MaIley's, where
faro, roulette, and stud poker have been
running unmoIested for years, and
Teuue, who succeeded TO the title. king
Of gamblers" when O'Leary fen out
with the authorities.
Gamblers Closed Up.
It is common gossip that at the places
conducted by these men handbooking
as we'll as faro. craps. and roulette are
hourisning, but never an arrest has
been made in months. When the first
bomb was fired IL was credited to an
element of the gambling fraternity
that had been frozen out under Shippy.
That was over a year ago. The gam
blers closed up until the excitement blew
over. Bomb No. . came as quickly as
they reopened. It is. generally believed
the police know the offenders. but fear

 What is the "one best, bet" in I'm.

 We'll, that is something of prob- lem, for the game there is new and the cards constantly shifting as new ones come to light. But as 1 saw the valley, with some small knowledge of it gained from former visits and careful reading of the promotion lit erature, that same best bet" is hogs It may be that continued study of it's marvellous possibilities of soil and eli mate may develop some other indus try which will put the porkers to the bad, but so long as its magnificent fields of alfalfa furnish green feed the year round, in such nutritious quality and splendid yield, the hog far mer. with 80 to 1eo acres of land has 1 every bank president this side of San Francisco down on the mat and talk ing the count, while the man who got | in early or had capital enough to gar ner in 320 acfes of land, or mayhap a whole Section growing hogs, is sim ply a plutocrat, and entitled to wear diamonds, ride in an automobile, wear soft raiment and dine sumptuously ev- cry day and declare dividends every time pig squeals. Theoretically, an acre of alfalfa will feed five head of | hogs although in practice that num- Der is considerably exceeded. But on that basis it requires no deep insight into mathematics to figure it out with hogs at five cents per pound that the farmer who has two 40-acres fields of alfalfa in which to alternate his pas turing swine, and 40 or 80 acres more an which to grow grain to fatten them, has an income that may run III the way from $4,O0O to $S,0O0 per annum And hogs frequently sell at seven cents instead of five.
 Drive in any direction you will through the older sections of the val ley, and that word is used with full of the fact that nothing there but the sunshine and sand are more than eight years old, and the hog rancher is omnipre- sent.
