 cashiers desk, from which he secured two or three hundred
 dollars.
 The entire hold-up was con- 'summated in three minutes, |when not a person was in the bank, except the two of them. After securely placing the money in his ragged clothes the defiant burglar nervously jump led for the telephone and with lone strong pull jerked the tele- phone connection and battery box from the wall, then skulk- ing to the front door with his re- volver leveled on the horror stricken young cashier.
 Jumping rom the walk or the bank building he hastily mount ed a bay mare which he had tied out only a few yards away and beat a hasty retreat out the Doniphan road, supposedly to- ward Searcy. Rogers immedi- atefy gave an alarm and soon half the population of Kensett assembled at the bank, where a few minutes later a small posse was formed.
 The robber is described as a.; bout 30 years of age, 5 feet 8 inches in height, clean shaven, and wearing brown coat and 'slouch cap. At the time of the hold-up he was disguised by heavy pair of automobile gog- gles.

United Press Dispatch.
 Berlin, Oct. 1.-The Germans l i'll Belgium have joined the ex- treme right wing Tn France anc the general situation is show ing a distinct improvement ac- cording to a war office an nouncement.
 ] It is stated that the right wing l in France has engaged in a se- ries of desperate conflicts on the line from Noyon to Belgium, with alternate defeats and suc- cesses, but owing to the isolat- ed nature of the engagements, they will have no effect on the general situation.
 Perfunctory mention is made in the war office bulletin of the occupation of Ostend, and it is stated that the Burgomeister made a formal surrender. The center left IS unchanged.
 Bad weather is again retard- ing operations, and snow and rain are interfering with the fighting in Alsace and in the Vosges.
 The Russians have been com pletely elected from German soil. The Austrians have occu- pied Starasol, Chyrow and nov ed south on San to northeast front of Przemysl, which contin- ues to resist the siege, defeating General Dimotroff on the march.
 Many Russians were drowned when the bridges on the San River were destroyed. The Ats trians took Taronya, in the Car |pathians after a four days bat tie, in which many Russians were killed. They also captured 'all of the Carpathian passes.

BIGGEST CROND = or 1HE FAIR
Attends Final Day For Practi. cally Double Racing Program
 of the Day.

z Old Sol came out in all his glory Saturday and the crowds came forth with him. The fair as a result received it's biggest crowd on the wind-up day, for the weather was ideal and the fAins of Friday had caused the postponement of the racing pro- gram, making practically a double bill for the final day.
 With warm sunshine drying the roads and grounds and put ting the track. in extra condi- tion, the crowd was in splendid spirits to get the most out of the various forms of entertain ment.
 The exhibit hall continues to attract big crowds and the show ing made for the first fair is everywhere a subject of con- graduation. The crowds have been small by reason of the bad weather. It wasn't hard times" that worked the hard ship, but the weather man.
 With a good crop year and cotton bringing ten to twelve cents per pound, it would not be safe to estimate the crowds, for the people are now thorough ly imbued with the fair spirit and an increasing support may be relied upon by the association.
 The exhibit of stock was made upon the track Saturday morn- ing and attracted favorable comment and praise. The fair has done great deal toward en- couraging the livestock industry 1as well as to interest the people in better grades.

Robbins of this city, was noticed by one of the officers and asked to step Inside the depot which he did, but when the officer went to search |him he drew a pistol and went to shooting and backed out of the room. The officer returned the fire but the man made his getaway in the dark. This morning a man answering the description of the robber, made his appearance at the home of a MT. Lewis, who lives between West Point and Griffithville, and asked for breakfast, which was given him. The man claimed he was going from Higginson to West Point to take a train but
 had been lost and wandered through the woods all night. Shefiff's posses are watching
 every avenue of escape and securing the woods with hope
 that the culprit will be appre-
 hended.
 MT. Abernathy, the cashier of the bank, says the robber secur-
 ed S834. Yesterday afternoon
 just as soon as the robbery was
 made known in this city Cash Her Deener of the Peoples Bank
 sent MT. Fred Welch, one of his
 assistant cashiers, to Kensett
 with money enough for the un-
 fortunate bank to relieve the
 situation and and no embarrass-
 ment whatever was caused by
 the robbery.

has stopped It regardless Of the fact
that he might be damming up a stream
let loose by his nearest partner.
As result of all this traffic does not
really move ON Fifth avenue at the
crowded hours 1T halts or staggers
along. 1t is stop and creep and stop
again for mile aud half or more.
Business Is retarded, pleasure is de-
stroyed. Drivers are cNasperated. the
police re fiurricd. Serious harm often
results from the delays. aud wholly un-
necessary irritation is always caused.
What seems to Is. feasible remedy
for this condition is now proposed, and
as Police Commissioner WOODS Is Inn
pressed with ii, 1t is TO have n fair trial.
II Is in fact step toward coordination
in the reg,Ilat lon Of traffic A begin
ming is to he made by extending the
control exercised by men stationed at
the main intersections over five blocks
in each direction. By simple system
Of signals. probably scmaphorcs, the
man at a main crossing will he able to
control all movements for a quarter OF
u mile in each direction. The obvious
effect will he 10 give greatly improved
Roadway to the avenue streams when
they are started. while the cross cur
their turu comes. There is really no
reason why the system should not be
further developed 10y telephone, or bet
ter signal service. - that all stoppages
aud releases from Fourteenth to Fifty
ninth street should he synchronizcd
into harmonious operation.
II Is also proposed 10 relieve the
crowdiug Of the avenue by divcrting as
much traffic as possible into Madi son
and sixth avenues Tho five block sys-
rem Of control would have n tendency
| i'm that direction. Drivers would find
they saved time by making detours
! rather than waiting for their turn to
get into the avenue. Needless to say.
this Is a highly desirable result, for
while Fifth avenue is crowded to ca.
paclty both of the uca rcst parallel chan
ncls are 10 all lntents and purposes
unused.
The new idea promises well No
delay should be allowed in preparing
the necessary machinery and starting
the work The midsummer slackneSs
of traffic affords good opportunity
for experiment, and the plan might
easily be in successful action when
the crowd returns IN thc fall
