Acting Governor Oldham has ap-
pointed eight new members OF the
St. Francis Levee Board to succeed
those whose terms expire. Mr.. G. G.
Fogg, of Widener, succeeds Judge E.
A. Rolfe, of this city, Judge Rolfe's

qualified under the new law which
says that any person holding public

ment, shall not be eligible to men,
bership upon the st. Francis Levee
Board. Judge Rolfe is county and
probate judge OF this (St. Francis)
county.
The board OF directors of the St
Francis Levee district will hold its
annual election of officers in Memphis
the early part of May. The appoint
ment OF directors announced by Act
ing Gov. Oldham few days ago does
not 10 any way change the political
or other aspect of the board, and is
construed to mean that President O.
\. killough, Of Wynne, and Treasurer
Eugene Williams Of this city, will be
reelected without opposition.
The directors appointed recently are
favorable to the reelection of the Of
fcers named. The bill passed by the
legislature provides for the creation
of the Office OF secretary-treasurer
which position will be given to Mr..
Williams. Heretofore the secretary
and treasurer was filled by different
members OF the board.

No Love Affair Known.

ON the trip from the Mexican capi-
tai 70 the sea the girl was morose, and
exhausted much of her little strength
in weeping There was no affair OF
the heart, so far as her attendants
knew. Dr. Davis attributed il 10 a
form of melancholia. as result of
her illness.
The Mexico headed toward Pro-
greso. and when evening Of the first
day drew near was only a few hours
from that port At o'clock DR.. Davis
and Miss Johnson went to the dining
saloon. leaving Sehorita Rodiguez in
her stateroom.
An hour later the doctor and nurse
went to the patients ststeroom
When they pushed open the door they
found the room empty. ON table lay
a revolver and a vial Of poison. 1t was
evident that neither had been used. for
there were no exploded cartridges and
the cork in the tiny bottle had not been
drawn. An open port was sufficient to
alarm doctor and nurse.
Captain f.. j. O'Keefe was notified
that a passenger had jumped over
board 1t would have been difficult 70

swung his vessel about in huge circle,
ready 10 rescue the girl.
For an hour the surface Of the water
was scanned. When night followed. the
ships searchlight was brought into
play. 1t skipped about the waves, re-
vealing nothing but the tossing water,
until suddenly the stream or light came

brought from home with her and
which she had evidently held in her

As the ships officers and passengers

of light cast on the waves, the watch
ers distinguished the black fins of a
horde OF sharks, cutting the water as
they swan around and around the

are sharks more voracious than those

searchlight was dimmed, Captain
