FRENzIED FATHER
 WOULD SHAY MAN
Dentists Crime Against Daughter Causes Exciting Scene in Cali f0rnia Courtr00m--Father
 Starts Mob.

San Bernardino, Cal, Sept. i.-- Made frantic by the recital in court of the tortures suffered by his daughter while a prisoner in the office of Dr. A. w. McDavit, a dentist, D. Mcdonald, father of Jessie Mcdonald, attacked Dr. Me- Davit in the court room here to- day. At the conclusion of the pre- liminary of the ease, Mcdonald rushed at McDavit, but was prevented by deputy sheriffs from striking the prisoner. In an instant the court room was in an uproar, but McDavit was whisked away to jail before the demonstration took serious form.
 Dr. McDavit, charged with stat utory offense, following the alleged Imprisonment Of Jessie Mcdonald, a high school girl, in his offices flf- teen months. was held to the su- perior court.
 Heavily guarded by armed dep- uty sheriffs, McDavit was brought into court from the jail at River side, i2 miles from here, where he has been secretely kept for two weeks to prevent an expected dem- onstration against him. Miss Mo- Donald, the first witness called, was followed by Dr. J. s. Mancha, who had attended her when her baby was born.
 Miss Mcdonald testified that for ten months, while held in a little room next to the dentists office, she did not get glimpse of daylight. The blinds of her windows always were drawn. For days at time she declared, she was without d morsel of food.

FINDS LONG LOST
 MONEY WITH BONES
Steamship Treasure Is Discovered by Farmer in Mud Along Banks of Red River fin
 Louisiana.

Marksville, La, Sept. i.-Wesley Cooper, farmer living near here, has dug from the mud along the banks of the Red river the skele- ton of a clerk of the steamboat Texas, with a big box of money. The Texas, which piled between New Orleans and Red river points, sank in 1864 at St. James Morde- Iona. The clerk was the only man who lost his life.
 According to reports, Cooper ob- tained about $5,000. It is related that when the boat struck a snag and began to sink, the captain headed his craft for shallow water and tied up to several trees. The passengers and crew were landed, but the clerk was ordered back to get the money from the safe. As the clerk started ashore with box containing the money, the cables parted and the Texas drifted down. stream, sinking soon after. Cooper is very secretiye about ihs find, but several persons subsequently, visited the scene and unearthed a number of loose silver half dol- lars, coined in 1864.
 The bones of the clerk were placed ill box and taken to the Catholic church here, and are be- ing held pending efforts to find the name of the clerk.

CRAYENS REMAINS
 FIRM IN DECISION
The Congressman Declines to Grant Request of Fort Smith Friends That He Seek Re-
 election.


 An intellectual attempt was made by Fort smith friends of Congress man Ben Cravens of this district to induce the congressman to alter his determination not to seek re- election, according to the Fort Smith American of yesterday, which says:
 Congressman Ben Cravens was given pleasant surprise early last night at his home on Free Ferry drive, when a party of about % of his admirers and political friends drove out in automobiles and spent an hour or so at his home, their object being to induce him to make a fourth race for the Democratic congressional nomination.
 While feeling highly compli- mented by the request of his fellow townsmen, MT. Cravens replied that he had firmly decided not to make another race, but would remain in Fort Smith with his family and con- tfihC ttio tdW pIdCtitce
 Short talks were made by the following members of the party: John w. Goolsby, D. J. Young, l.. F. Fisher, J. r. O'Melia, Earl U. Har- din and Judge J. V. Bourland."
 Hunting Another Candidate.
 Congressman Cravens refusal to be again candidate has set going an active movement to bring out another candidate in the field. Said one of the local men of affairs to the Times Record Tuesday:
 Tn tho present situation with two equally strong candidates in the southerli end of the district, any good man in this end of the dis trict could be elected"
 Several possible candidates have been sounded today, among them one ex-state representative has been by several friends and urged to make the race. What, if will develop from the new shift in the situation remains to be seen.

NEW PASTOR FOR
 BAPTIST CHURCH
The Rev. W. l.. Smith of Ashdown Has Accepted the Pastorate at Mena-Farewell Recep-
 ti0n Given Him.

The Little River News, speaking of Mir. Smiths lal ors there and of a farewell reception rendered him, says:
 "On last evening a delightful re- ception was given to Brother and Sister Smith at the home of MT. and Mrs. Jeff Cowling. The enter tainment was given by members of the Baptist church.
 "A host of friends to the guests of honor were present. Miss Ruth Bowling and Mrs. Rowland gave several instrumental solos, and a number Of sacred songs were sung by all. After this delicious punch was served. No one felt bound by any lines of formality and the mo- ments passed too quickly.
 During the evening, to the sur prise of our beloved pastor and wife, several small girls presented them with some lovely gifts in be- half of the church. The Ladies Aid gave a beautiful set of silver ware, Rev. and Mrs. Hundley a sil- ftt butLCt h1lt1O uttu tduiC. ObhDh appreciable gifts were presented as token of love and appreciation.
 "rhe people Of the Baptist church can hardly express the deep sacrifice they feel in giving up Bro. Smith and wife. They have been in Ashdown seven years. Dur ing this time, through the conse- crated guidance of the pastor, the membership has grown from sew enty-flve to two hundred and fifty. The church has not only received strength ill members, but it has re- ceived better insight into relig- ious life. Through his unusual ability in adopting himself. Bro. Smith has met deficiencies and made weak places strong. His in- fluence has been for a spiritual up- lift. He will not only be missed by the members of his church, but ell the people of Ashdown love him. While our hearts are filled with regret and sadness in losing Brother and Sister Smith, we con- gratulate the Baptist church at Mena on securing them. They are leaving us with our best wishes and prayers for great and glorious results"

LOUIS MANAToPoLIN FIRES Bull
LET THROUGH BODY.
Was Dependent Over Lack OF EN-.
ployment-came Here Recently
From PIttsburs.

Despondent over failure to secure
employment. Louis Manatopolin, a
Greek, who recently came to this city
from Pittsburg. shot himself in the
right side last evening. In a secluded
spot near the city workhouse, on the
top OF Wheeling hill. Immediately
after being found. the man was rush
ed to the North Wheeling hospital.
and an operation was performed by
DR.. j. L. Caldwell in an effort to save
his life. II was thought last night
that he would not recover.
Two shots were heard by Superin-
tendent Harry Halter, OF the work
house and others. but II was thought
that II was merely some one shooting
for amusement. Shortly after, the
woudned man was found by two little
girls. who ran TO the workhouse and
told OF their discovery. A telephone
call was at once sent for the ambu-
lance and the unfortunate man was
carried down the hill by Officer Ley
land and James Woods.
When found. Manatopolin was con-
scious and told Mr.. Halter and officer
Leyland that he had tried to kill him.
self on account OF trouble. The re-
volver was found about twenty feet
away. with three chambers empty.
although but one wound was found
on the body. The weapon had evil
IDENTIFY been held close to the right
side and the bullet passed through
the right lung. lodging in 0r near the
spine. causing paralysis OF part of
the body.
Manatopolin stated that he was a
brother-in-law OF Nicholas Anas. the
well known confectioner, and that he
had been residing on South Eon
street. For a time he had a position
as travelling salesman for a confec-
tionery firm. but lost this and had
been unable to secure other employ
ment.

ADVERTISING TALKS
WRITTEN BY
WILLIAM c. FREEMAN.

How long does an adver-
htement live?
This subject has been dis
ctssed many times by every
body interested in advertising
in any way.
Some people claim that
magazine advertising lives
longer than daily newspaper
advertising, because the maya
zine remains on the library
table from one months end to
the other, while the newSpa-
per is thrown aside as soon as
read.
Yet it is a fact that Lud-
wig Baumann & Co., the
wiell-known furniture house of
New York received response
to an advertisement of theirs
fifteen years after it appeared
in a New York newspaper.
| have forgotten just where
the response came from, but |
think it waS,from Australia.
A young Philadephian, who
Is interested in ADVERTISING
Mr.. w. c. Jacob, wrote me
the other day of an incident
that came up while he was on
a business trip to Baltimore.
He called on the manager of
a large manufacturing con-
Germ, and the conversation
drifted around to the value of
advertising.
The manager of this con-
Germ said:
ZONE CAN NEVER TELL.
VIII T WILL RESULT
FROM A WELL-PLACED
ADVERTISEMENT"
He then showed Mr.. Jacob
a letter from a small city in In
dia which had come in that
day, and which referred to an
advertisement that had been
placed in an American publ
cation by them TWENTY
SEVEN YEARS AGO.
Back records verified this to
be absolutely true.
1t is facts like these, which
come up every once in a
while, that emphasize the
value of advertising, a value
which does not cease as long
as publication lives.
