Il think that Secretary Ballinger is

the comment of young Kerby when he

The letter of dismissal follows:
Sir; You are hereby discharged

vulging Information obtained by you

rapher to the secretary of the in

inevitable.

When Pine Bluff Citizens Show the
 Certain Way Out.

There can be no just reason why any reader of this will continue to suffer the tortures of an aching back, the annoyance of urinary disorders, the dangers of diabetes of any kidney ills when relief is so near at hand and the most positive proof given that they can be cured Read what a Pine Bluff citizen says:
 T. Starke, S11 Main St., Pine Bluff, Ark, says: "As the result of strain my kidneys weakened and thereafter whenever I caught cold, it settled in these organs causing such severe pains in my back that I could scarcely get around. Being advised to try Doan's Kidney Pills, I procured a box from the Mann-Tankersley Drug Go. and be- gan taking them at once. I was ben efited from the first and have had very little trouble from my back or kidneys since. It gives me pleasure to endorse Doan's Kidney Pills as my experience has proven them to be a remedy that acts as represented"

HELD UP IN HOME
 BY FOUR ROBBERS
MT. and Mrs. Jack Wymann Are Robbed of S50 in Money and xi,- O0O Worth of Diamonds
 at Hot Springs.

Hot Springs, Feb. 16.-Held up at the point of revolvers in their own home. bound. gagged and robbed Of $50 in money and s4,0G0 worth of dia- monds. Jack WymPnn and wife of Peoria, H., and their negro cook yes terday morning reported to the police what is pronounced the most daring robbery perpetrated here in years.
 Four men were engaged in the crime Entering the cottage occun'ed by the Wymanns during the absence of the couple these men held up t.e cook. Then concealing themselves in a rear room, they ordered her to re- ceive Mir. and Mrs Wymann as If nothing had happened on their re- turn.
 They returned about 10 o'clock and were received by the cook as the thieves had ordered. As soon as the door had been closed the men slip ped in on them from the rear room. While one of their number kept MT. and Mrs. Wymann covered with re- volvers, the others bound and gagged them and then stripped their persons of jewelry and money. Mir Wymaan had only $50 in money but he and his wife wore several large diamoddS, all of which are very valuable. 'rhe total value of the stones taken is es- timated at more than S4,o00..
 Bind and Gag Victims.
 After satisfying themselves that they had secured all of the valuahles, the robbers rolled Mrs. Wymann un- der bed. tied her husband to a post and then bound and gagged the cook. Their work finished, the three left the house and accompanied hy the fourth. who had remained on watch outside, disappeared,
 Mir. and Mrs. Wymann came to Hot Springs about three weeks ago from Peoria, ILL. and rented the cottage ii which the robbery occurred. With the police they believe they were fGl- lowed to Hot Springs from Illinois by some thief who knew of the valu- able diamonds they carried and s}tat two Memphis thieves were with tae Illinois men in the house
 The men made no effort to co3tScl their faces during the robbery and the police are in possession of excel lent descriptions of the three whc were in the house. but as yet no ar rests have been made.

PARIS WANTS TO
 HONOR ROOSEVELT
EX.President Has Declined Many h. yitatiOns, However. and Refuses to Be LiOniZed-TO Arrive
 April if.

Paris. Feb. 16.-M. Laird, vice rec tor of the University of Paris, has been officially advised that Theodore Roosevelt will reach Paris about April II and that the length of his stay will probably not exceed three for four days. The French government is anxious to receive the former pres ident with the highest honors. French society is preparing to lionize him. the literary. philosophical, geographi- cal and scientific bodies all desire to entertain him and the American col ony would like to give grand ban quet in his honor.
 But Mir. Roosevelt has discreetly al- lowed it to be understood that he par ticularly desires to avoid any appear ance of ostentation and that he will preserve as far as possible merely the role of man of learning in which capacity he accepted the invitation to lecture at the Sorbonne, extended to him through Ambassador Jesserand while he still occupied the White House.
 No Spectacular Features.
 MT. Roosevelt's visit to Paris, therefore. will be devoid of the spec tacular features which characterized eX-President Grants visit here at the time of his tour around the world.
 Mr. Grant, while not the official head of the nation. was received al most like reigning sovereign. MT. Roosevelt's wishes will be carried out in the main. but the government has declined to forego the honor of enter taning him and the eX-president has accepted the invitation of President Fallieres to be his guest at dinner at the Elysee palace. This was ar ranged by Ambassador Jusserand. who will make a special trip across the ocean to be present during Mr. Roosevelt's stay.
 The exact program at the Sorbonue will not be definitely arranged by the council of the university until after further consultation with the eN- president. The council would like to arrange one of it's famous fetes in his honor. at which Greek play would be produced, but it doubts, whether Mir Roosevelt would accept
 It has been provisionally provided that after the lecture, which will be held in the afternoon. a large recep- ton will be held in the grand salou of the university, at which the lecturer will meet a brilliant assemblacse ot French savants. including the Forty Immortals" the leading French sciAE- lists and philosophers and other dis tinguished persons. On April 16 Mr Roosevelt will be received in solemn audience by the Institute. of whicls he is a member in virtue of his recent election as an associate member of the Academy of Political and Moral Sciences.
 Two years ago Mir. Roosevelt ac. cepted an invitation to visit eX-Pres- ident Loubet at his country seat on the first occasion that he came to France. but the hriefness of his stay will probably compel the abandoo- ment of this plan. MT. Roosevelt, however. will have an opportunity to see NJ. Louhet in Paris. where he re- sides until early in the summer

Paris. Nov. 12.-Ths rapidly in
creasing diplomatic influence of the
kaiser in Turkey is becoming
source OF great uneasiness to French
statesmen. who see in 1t a danger
to the peace OF Europe 1 have Just
had an interview with Admiral Bes-
son, one of the most brilliant young
er admirals in the French navy. who
takes a rather gloomy view of the
present situation and who did not
hesitate to state the reason why.
1T is quite evident" he said. that
the rejuvenation of the Turkish en-
pire. while in many ways cause for
rejoicing, is also a great danger to
peace, as ii may easily become the
forerunner of a great struggle be-
tween Christians and Mussulmans.
which, If ii comes. is bound to break

Already, perhaps, Mussulman en-
lssaries are going among the Mussul-

The kaiser is also, according to Ad-

As the only means of thwartinp
the kaiser's schemes the admiral re-
commends the building of battleships
able to go out and give battle in the
oTen sea. holding that the offensive
alone gives victory.
