The Mysterious Milburns.
Magicians

Gustave Milburn is a magician
and his charming wife is his cap
able assistant. Together they
make an attractive couple, who
delight the children and enter
tain their parents. Among
his magical novelties are tricks
which puzzle the mind and cheer
the heart. What he says is Of
ten quite as interesting as what
he does. Dexterity, suggestion,
mystery and humor make up a
program with an irresistible fas-
cination. Slate writing, turning
water into wine, and wine into
water, the escape from the Rus
sian convict chain, a phenomenal
use of billiard balls. and other
tricks which nobody explains
comprise a program with breath
less interest from start to finish.
Mrs. Milburn is a charming lady,
and adds interest to the enter
tainment. If you wish to enjoy
a magician who has taken up
magic with intelligent earnest
ness and who ranks among the
best, don't fail to see Milburn,
Magician and entertainer.

Value Greater Than Year Before When Total Re-

Although there was less cotton, by approximately 5000 bales, handled in Pine Bluff in the season which came to close July 31, 1916, than in the year previous, considerably more money was involved, because of the big in- crease in the value of the staple the past year over the year before.
 According to official figures given out yesterday by the Pine Bluff Cot ton Exchange, the total receipts for the season just Sclosed aggregated 12O,213 bales, as against 129, 9,285 bales.
 The detailed statement issued by the exchange is as follows:

TO WARS FIRST VICTIM.

Paris, Aug 2-Exercises were held today in honor of the memory Of Jules Andre Peugeo. corporal in the Sixth company of the Forty-foul th regiment of infantry, who was the first French victim of the present war. Two years ago today the day before the formal declaration of war, peugeot was killed by a German pa trcl At the time he was doing sentry duty on the road to Faverois, when an advancing German patrol was sighted He was amazed to see Ger man troops twelve miles inside French territory. and wen, out to arrest tho German officer. He was twice wounded, but before he was killed shot and fatally wounded the lieutenant in command of the German troops.
 Corporal Feugeot was a school teacher by profession but was incor- ncrated into the army on Nov. 26, 1918, aud made a corporal the follow ing April. He had passed examina- tions to become an officer in the re- serves.

therefore for the illustration to which l refer we will see Catholics of every country in Europe dying by the thousands for the flag of their na- ton. In some instances that flag typiiies country which has in the past promulgated and enforced dis eliminating laws against the Catholic church, and deprived Catholics of their just rights. and positively pro- scribed their freedom and happiness, but it is the flag of their country, and the Catholics patriotism is liv- ing virtue, and he feels impelled to respond to the call Of patriotism and the bounden duty of his conscience.
 q think l voice the sentiments of the membership of the Knights of Columbus and of every intelligent Catholic in this country when I say that we deeply appreciate the spirit of tolerance and good feeling which for the most part exists among our non-CathClic brethren throughout the length and breadth of the land. Bish- op Mora. the early Spanish bishop of Los Angeles, always alluded to his non- Catholic fellow-citizens as his separate brethren,' a most charming reference, which never failed to strike a responsive chord.
 We are furthermore not unmindful <f the fact that elsewhere in foreign countries the religious line has been drawn sharp and hard and very often it is the dead line of strife and bit terness. If any of my Catholic friends are doubting the accuracy of my opinion in this matter, particular ly if he comes from Europe or any other part of the civilized world, let him go back there and compare the attitude of the non-Catholic of that country with the spirit which per vades the non-Catholios of the United States, and he will recognize the value of the conclusion at which have arrived"

blG TEMPERATURE DROP FOLLOWS
 WIND AND RAIN
Storm of Tornado-Lik Pro portions Not Believed to
 Have Caused Damage.

A terrific but virtually harmless windstorm, which whirled heavy clouds of dust through the city streets, visited Pine Bluff shortly aft CT 2 o'clock last night, being follow ed by a dOwnpour of rain, regular "gully-washer," the wind and rain causing a drop in the temperature If 24 degrees, between o'clock and s o'clock.
 Dense, black clouds approached from the north about o'clock, while Pine Bluff folk were sweltering with the heat, the thermometers marking 92 degrees. Not g breath of air was stirring. Gradually the clouds moved toward and over the city, and finally gust of wind was felt. Quickly the wind heightened, and almost in moment young hurricane was blowing. Vivid flashes of lightning pierced the dark clouds, while the roll of thunder revcrberated through the heavens.
 Then the rain fell It was no gen. tie shower. not even in the beginning It did not start with tender delicate sprinkle. It was for all the world like the bottom had dropped out of the clouds. at the angry nod of Jupi- tor Pluvius. while old man Neptune
 trident raised aloft was in his very element It rained. it poured, for a half hour. drenching the parched earth, giving new life to growing things, and causing the general if uneynreSsed thought "ThiS is what corn has been needing" And at s o'clock the thermometer registered IS degrees
 The storm $ believed to have done little if any damage anywhere. It ts known that it struck Marmaduke, in the far northeast corner of the state,
 about 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon. and then moved south. passing Little Rock about o'clock. Everywhere it was followed bv copions rainfall, and as a result. it is believed there has been much gcod done to growing
 crops, especially 10 corn.
 It is believed that the upper end of Jefferson county. where corn has been in need of rain. was. greatly benefited by :he rainfall of last night.
 It was impossible last night to get
 reports from more than two or three
 points in that section, but these points expressed the belief that the rain had reached the sections which have been in need of moisture.

WHEAT JUMPS Az
 CENTS A BUSHEI

Chicago, Aug 2.-Iumps of more than 1 1-2 cents bushel in the value of wheat took place today as result of word that black rust damage in Manitoba amounted to calamity and that the injury to the crop in the Da- kotas and Minnesota appeared to be still on the increase. Estimates were current that the prospective yield of wheat in the United States had fallen off S7.O00,0O0 bushels as compared with the outlook on July 1. Buying here was on broad scale and included much purchasing for European ac- count. Before midday. September. the principal option. had risen to SIPS as against $1.24@1.24 IA at yesterdays close.

First Bale Dates.
 The first bale for the 1916-1917 crop has not yet arrived here. For the previous seasons, the dates of the arrival here of the first bale, and the prices brought, are as follows, accord ing to cotton exchange figures:
 1915-1916, August 9, 13 IA cents per pound.
 1914-19l5, August 1, 40 cents per pound.
 1913-1914, August IA, S5 cents per pound.
 Preparing For Bonus. Secretary E. B. Bloom of the cham Der of commerce, has already pre- pared for gathering the bonus which IS presented to the man who brings or ships into Pine Bluff the first bale of the new crop. This bonus has been presented by local merchants through the chamber of commerce, year after year, for many years past.
 This year Secretary Bloom has sug- gested that bonus be awarded the man who brings in the first bale of new cotton grown in Jefferson county, and another bonus be given the man who brings or ships into this city the flrst bale. of new cotton grown in Sutheast Arkansas. Some sections of Southeast Arkansas are peculiarly fit ted to bring in exceptionally early cot ton, and for this reason it has been thought better to award two prizes, instead of one, as has been the case in the past.
 Judging from reports received as to the condition of the growing crop the past week, the first bale is likely to reach here within a week or ten days.
