Diamonds Found in Reservoir.

Pine Bluff-A valuable diamond necklace, a diamond brooch, several gold pins and a number of highly prized gold medals, which were among the articles stolen from the home of Carter B. Murphy on West Second avenue some weeks ago, were found at the bottom of the reservoir at the old waterworks plant in the western suburbs of the city, when the reservoir was drained by order of the city council.
 The find was made by Chief of Police E. c. Stanley, after Bootsie James, one of three negroes in jail charged with robbing the houses here, confessed to him that he had thrown some of the valuables into the old reservoir. The jewelry has been re turned to Mrs. Murphy. James was arrested in Memphis by Constable Frank Stewart

CLAIMS BOUNTY ON WOLVES.
fauidnsr County Man Demands $5
 Each on Two Scalps.

CoZway.-Justiee of the Peace w. B. Wilson had an experience unusual to Faulkner county magistrate when Joe Green presented two wolf scalps to him and asked for cer- tificate to the county court showing that he had killed the wolves in this county, in order that he might be paid the legal bounty. The wolves were killed near Rocky Gap by Mir. Green and J. A. Stallings, who stated that there were six iii the pack The animals have caused much annoyance in the community, killing number of sheep and hogs. It has been a long time since wolf scalp was brought to Conway, but in the early days of the county, when the bounty was $10 each, wolf hunting was quite a profitable occupation. The legal bounty is now $5 per scalp.

Cotton Price Was Fixed.

Beebe.-A mistake has been made, according to R. H. McCulloch, na- tional secretary of the Farmers Un- ion, in quoting him as to the mini mum price for cotton fixed by the convention at Birmingham. He does not deny that figure was fixed up on, but merely declares as wrong the statement made by Birmingham pa pers that the price named was 15 cents. The purpose of the execu- tive committee meeting in Texarkana at later date is not to fix the mini mum price, but to count the votes on the new constitution that is being referred to the unions.

Brother of Unfortunate Woman Files Taken Into Custody-Denies Ac- quaintaneeshp With "Woman in the Case"

Little Rock.-Crazed by the belief that her husband is a bgamist, Mrs. Bessie O'Brian of Belleville, a few months ago a telephone operator in Little Rock, is confined at the coun- ty hospital, violently insane, and her husband, Joe OBrian, is under arrest at Danville on a charge of bigamy, sworn out by Earl Page, a brother of the wife.
 The suffering woman is only IT years old and until two months ago was Miss Bessie Page. She came to Little Rock in March and on March 27 was employed by the Southwest ern Telephone and Telegraph com pany as a toll attendant, working at the Hotel Marion and New Capital hotel and at the central office. She eft the employ of the company on June 5.
 A pretty brunette, the girl attract ed considerable attention at the ho- tels, and while here met Joe O'Brian, 21 years old, handsome and we'll man. nered. Shortly after she left the em- ploy of the telephone company they were married, and some time later O'Brian left Little Rock with his wife.
 While in Little Rock O'Brian and his wife lived at the residence of Mrs. Osie Hope, SIP Center street. While there O'Brian received some letters from Mrs. Joe OBrian liv- ing in Birmingham, Ala, which event ually fell into the hands of his Ar kansas bride.
 Earl Page, her brother, learned of the letters and filed a charge of big amy against O'Brian. The latter was arrested in Benton and taken to Dan- vile.
 In jail at Danville O'Brian claimed he is not the O'Brian for whom the letters were meant. He denies ever having been in Birmingham and says he does not know the woman who wrote the discriminating missives.
 It has developed that the letters were addressed to Joe O'Brian, a baseball umpire.

The capacity is 1900 cubic feet of water a second After the water leaves the west portal of the tunnel it is conducted through 12 miles of canal to the Uncompahgre. There is a drop of PA feet in this distance, an this great fall will be utilized for CT atiRg power. A series of concrete drops has been constructed and the immense body of water rushing over them is capable of generating at least 10000 horse power which will be util- ized in lighting the entire Uncompah- gre valley by electricity

others, and this evening speeches were delivered by a number of well-known Coloradoans, the celebration winding up with an illuminated parade and py- rotechnie display.
 First of the big government recla- nation projects to be undertaken, the Gunnison river tunnel has been one Of the most difficult to carry through. The ample waters of the Gunnison flow through narrow valleys unsuit- ed to agriculture or through deep, rocky canyons, while only a few miles to the west the lovely Uncom- pahgre valley has been suffering for water. The Gunnison, descending in ever deepening gorges, finally plunges into the Black canyon, one of the most magnificent mountain gorges in the world. This unpromising spot was se- lected as the starting point of the tunnel Brave engineers lowered themselves into the Black canyon at points where the granite walls rise almost perpendicularly hundreds of feet, and after their surveys were com pleted active work was started on the immense project.
 At great expense and under enor- nous difficulties, a wagon road was built to the east portal of the tun- nel. It is 15 miles long, and, climb ing the granite ridge between the canyon and the Uncompahgre valley, descends the rocky wall on shelf work
 Bore Built for All Time.
 Simultaneously work was begun at each end of the tunnel and at a point several thousand feet from the west end, where shaft was sunk. As fast as the tunnel was driven through the shale and solid rock, it was timbered, and then the heavy timbers were covered with impervious cement This gives a tunnel of solid concrete built

SAVING THE FINGERS.

Pretty nearly everybody is making,
or learning to make, Irish crochet
lace, so that any information on this
interesting subject is usually received
with Joy.
The inexperienced find that the
sharp end OF the crochet needle
pricks their fingers and that they.
for this reason, cannot keep up the
work very long at time. The best
way to overcome this dlfficulty is to
wear a tiny piece OF court plaster
over the tip Of the finger where the
needle touches. 1t will not interfere
with the guidance Of the needle, as
a thimble might do, but 1t will pre-
vent the finger from becoming sore
and will protect It from possibility Of
callousness.-New Haven Register.

A Sad CommentrY.

Is It not q sad commentry on the
farming conditions in the Cotton Belt
that farmers need to borrow money
every spring, depending on the one
crop Of cotton to pay the debt, and
then to start in another season in the
same old hopeless way, never getting
ahead, never with cash, but always
at the mercy of the fertilizer man,
the merchant and the money lender?

How 70 Get Better cottonseed.

An examination of a cotton field
will reveal all types of plants grow
ing within the space of a few feet
Some Of them are admirably formed
and developed and heavily fruited;
others undesirable in shape and char
acter, and bearing but a few bolls.
Observation win reveal the fact that
there are many blank spaces in the
field; hence the stand is not uniform,
and as a result the yield of seed cot
ton per acre is considerably lower
than 1t would have been were q per-
feet stand obtained.
The selection of seed OF the highest
vitality and the greatest weight
would have insured a much better
stand, and have added from fifty to
200 pounds Of seed cotton per acre
to the yield.
Since the per cent. Of lint yielded
by plants varies from twenty-five up
to more than forty, and the length of
the staple which may be grown even
on uplands from seven-eighths to one
and 'one-half inches, is It not inn
pOrtant and necessary that greater
attention be given to the question of
the selection of cottonseed? But this
is not ALL 1t is well known that some
individuals have the power Of repro
duCing themselves with greater vigor
than others; that some are more pre-
potent than others, less subject to
disease and to unfavorabie influences
OF soil and climate. These qualities
in themselves represent a fortune to
the individual grower of a given COM
munity.
The farmer can afford to select his
seed. No person can do it for him
half so well, as cotton is Influenced
markedly by even slight changes in
soil and climatic conditions. There
fore some individual in each COM
munity must undertake the work, and
in order to maintain the desirable
qualities which superior skill and
selection may have engrafted upon a
certain type, must select his seed
from the most desirable plants as
they grow in the field, have the lint
picked out separately and ginned
with a small gin on his. own prem
Uses, since taking it to a public gin
means to have It mixed in most cases
with unsolicited seed and his effort
at improvement practically nullihed.
