Delightful Entertainment

The euchre and dance given at the
Country Club Saturday evening by the
ladies of the Southside School League
was a most pleasant affair and finan-
cial success. About 8 o'clock DR.. G.
A. Martin in a very clear voice an
nOunced the rules to regulate the
game, also mentioned that there would
be after the fourth game an intermis-
sion of ten minutes in order that ev
cry one could patronize the refresh
ment tables.
When the first tap of the bell at
the head table was heard the game
commenced and then pleasure and ex-
element reigned supreme. After
eight games were played it was found
that Mrs. LeRosen and Miss Lucille
Mouton had won all games, therefore
had to cut for first prize, Miss Mouton
having luck with her, became the
possessor of the beautiful hand-painted
picture. All the ladies cut for the con-
ISOLATION, and Mrs. E. COnstantin won
the much wished for silver cold meat
fork. DR.. G.. A. Martin and Prof. F.
Sontag cut for the gentleman's first
prize, a handsome military set, which
was won by Prof. Sontag. The conso-
lation, a pretty gold pin, was cut for
by all the gentlemen and Mr.. Lionel
Jagou was the lucky one.
The league members appreciate very
much indeed the kindness of the gen.
tlemen of the Century Club in turning
over their rooms for the occasion,
and also feel grateful for the way the
Lafayette people responded to their
call. About forty dollars were real
lied. The attendance was fine, as
ninety-six ladies and gentlemen were
present.

CIRCUS GENIUS is RARE.
Mr.. Wallace of Hagenbeck-WaIIace
Shows Is One of a Few
Successful Men.

A big modern circus and menagerit
probably embraces more differen'
kinds of system and discipline thar
any other business in which men en-
orally known that the average mum
Der of circuses starting out each
spring would foot up to the amazing
total of a possible two hundred. Where
they go no one knows. They start out
buoyantly enough, but somehow they
never seem to get back. When one
considers that this has been going or
in America for the past seventy-five
years, it is really remarkable that so
few men have succeeded in the circus
business. 1t seems pretty clear that
a variety of genius not common is
necessary to become a successful cir
Gus proprietor.
There are only three or four we'll
known circus names today, and two
of them, ~"Hagenbeck' and wallace"
are among the most prominent. The
combination of the Wallace circus as
made two years ago with the Hagen
beck animal interests has developed a
show different in a sense from the
other big shows, the trained wild ami
mails giving it a feature both unique
and interesting.
These animal actors are the aero
bats of the menagerie and they look
down upon the common animals, those
used only for exhibition, with supreme
contempt. These brute actors are
jealous, too. The trainers and assist
ants must be very careful not to pay
too much attention to the other beasts
or their charges will sulk or might
take a notion to do even worse. A
huge Bengal tiger will be a good
friend with it's trainer and show every
evidence of delight when the man re-
moves the doors from his cage each
morning. They exchange greetings
and the beast holds his head down
against the bars to be scratched-purr-
ing all the while in loud double-bass
purrs that can be heard all over the
menagerie tents. But it behooves the
man to be exceedingly careful, for one
false move and the tigers mood
changes like lightning and the mans
arm may be torn off or, indeed, he
may be killed in the twinkling of an
eye.
The business of training and per-
wild animals is surely a haz-
ardous occupation at best, and there
are but few men who ever undertake |
It. There is a public demand for
though, and what the public
wants it usually gets. The Hagenbeck
animals are the only wild beasts that
nave been successfully exhibited in
his country and the opportunity to
see them in Lafayette on Tuesday,
Oct. 10. should not be overlooked.

When Ie came to Pine Bluff yesterday mornin. with the officer, Harwell was accom- panied by fifteen or twenty of Ile best citizens of the Humphrey neigh borhood, including merchants, office holders and others who expressed themselves as being ready to sign ais bond or aid him in any way possible. They were sadly disappointed when they learned that HarWell would n5t be able to get bail until after the pre- linlnarN hearing. which was set fer Friday morning at II o'clock. Har- well was then taken to the county jail. where he must remain at least until the preliminary hearing. In the event he is held for the murder of Hamilton his counsel, State Senator H. K.

Harwell fired a load of buck shot from small shotgun into Ham, ilton's body and then used his pistol sending bullet into Hamilton abdo- men. Hamilton is reported to have died with his gun in his hand. An other witness says that Harwell slipped up behind Hamilton in the lat ter's field and killed him.

'lf l Make 50 Per Cent of a Crop This Year I Will
 Be Satisfied" He Said.

Jefferson County Planter Prqdictg Only 750,ODD Bales for Arhans,q The Direct Causes.
 
EEs

John M Oracle. the largest cotton planter la Arkansas, who is now mak- ing his fortyfrst crop. declares that With the exception of 1881 the pres- ent cotton crop on his mammoth places Is the poorest in the history of his eyentful career as a cotton nro- ducer. Mr. Oracle was in Pine Bluff yesterday on his way to New Gascony from a visit to Little Rock. He bas nearly eight thousand acres of cotton lands Ill this county and all of them are being worked this year. Mir. Ora cle owns seventeen plantations, which are under three arrangements, at New Gascony, Hannaberry and Rob Roy. He has about four hundred families on his places and among them are many Italians, which have been imported here by Mir. Oracle and who are developing into most success ful tenants. Mr. Oracle is the first planter of this section to experiment with Italian labor and is highly pleased with the success of their work
 "I predict a production of about 100000 to SO0,000 bales of cotton for Arkansas this year. said Alr. Oracle i'll reviewing the outlook. Tn 1898, the largest cotton producing year in our history. l shipped more than 1000 bales Of cotton from my plantations. II make 5o per cent of that amount this season 1 will be aatisGed. I will lay wager with anyone that the crop Wll not exceed 50 per cent thi, sea sOi'.
 We cant make a crop in thirty days. Six weeks of ruin from early i1 June to the middle cf July da.a!ed things to such an extent that we can never catch up now. This was f1: lowed by four weeks of hot, dry weather which was also unfavorabla for crop making. The conditions have not been favorable from the start. We do not need much rain at this time but we are too far behind to accomplish more than 50 per cent yield. Labor is not plentiful, but We have more labor than We had last spring"

Little Rock, Aug. t0.-NIysterv sur- rounds the death of o. K. Tillman q timer, who had been employed at the shop of Haley & Iornbrook, 1l5 East second street, recently having worked at the shop yesterday.
 This morning his beheaded body was found on what is known as the house track, the loading track at the Iron Mountain freight depot. at the foot of East Markham street The discovery was made by the cashier of the freight depot and trucker em- ployed there. At the time of the dis coVery the body was cold and bore the appearance of having been dead several hours. As nearly as can be learned death occurred some time be- tween 12 and o'clock this morning The body was not discovered until the day force at the depot came on duty about o'clock this morning.
 Head Several From Bod,.
 The position of the body was such that it seemed accidental death was highly improbable, and the authorities are working on the theory that it may have been deliberate suicide. or that the man may have been a victim of foul play
 The detective force is working oq the case, but up to noon today had reported no developments in the case. The detectives have given no intima- ton of suspicion, but are working on the general theory that his death might have been other than the re- suit of accident
