Attorney-General John D. Arbuckla. on behalf of the state of Arkansas, filed suit in the circuit court hece Saturday against John w. Gibson, if. B. Mitchell, J. A. Bowman, w. (. Dalton, B. D.

RADIUM DIAMONDS AT REDUCED PRICES
For Today and Tomorrow Gems Will Be Sold for Only One
 Dollar.

If the Radium diamonds for the past three weeks have been any sort of an attraction in and about Pine Bluff, and they certainly have, that attraction will certainly be largely increased Monday and Tuesday and while they last at this Special sale." In con- versation with the local salesman last night he is authority for the statement that they received instructions in the latest movement to create demand for the Radium. When it first came to
 Pine Bluff it was not entirely un- heard of from the fact that the ad-
 vertising pages of the magazines for
 the past ten years or more have been used to call attention to the Radium Diamond, which experts can hardly
 distinguish from the real diamonds,
 the value of which may be just what
 the possessor places on it. But they cost less than One-fourth of the real
 stone, in comparison to size. The
 methods of the people having the do-
 mestic control of the Radium Dla-
 mond heretofore has been the price,
 and no change but for some reason
 best known to themselves, it appears that they have determined upon novel method to create larger de- 1nand in this city for the Radium. When they announce that they will hold a special sale Monday and Tues day, any piece of jewelry set with these beautiful Radium Diamonds,
 which formerly sold from $3 to $6- your choice for one dollar. This in- cludes every piece in the display now
 on sale at Seawell's Pharmacy. Such values have never been offered before and will never be offered again. The idea being to get the Radium well dis 1 tributed among a larger number of people and in actual use to demon strate what they are. It is method as novel as it is new. Come early and get first selection, as these goods l won't last long at this price. On sale Monday and Tuesday at Seawelps
 Pharmacy, PA Main street.-Adver- tisement.

COUNCIL TONIGHT
 WILL PASS UPON
 LIGHT FRANCHISE
Will Approve New Agree ment With Pine Bluff Com
 pany, Allowing Rebates.

The city council. at it's regular session tonight, will discuss and al most beyond the question of doubt will approve, the agreement reached at conference several days ago, whereby the Pine Bluff company will furnish fire plug servicc at reduced rate and in addition will pay to the city a percentage of the gross earn ings of the company each year, dur ing the life of the company's fral- chise.
 Every member of the council, it is stated, approves of the agreement, whereby the city will save minimum of $1OO,OO0 in the thirty years over which the franchise will extend. The percentage starts at 3 per cent. for the first five years, raises to per cent. for the succeeding 15 years and rises again to 6 per cent. for the following 10 years. The city's DOT tion, based on the present approxi- mate gross revenue of $70,000 per year, will start at about $2,100 per year. In addition, there will be a saving to the city of $960 per year on the 320 fire hydrants, this saving aggregating $2S,800 in the thirty years. The council is expected also to fin- ally act upon the matter of increas. 1 ing the salaries of the members cf the police department. The city has
 been benefited in several directions recently in a financial way, and it IS admitted by most of the members of the council that because of this, the council is now in position to add $10 or $15 per month to the salary of each of the police officers.
 l Members of the council have been
 willing to admit for some months
 past, that the city policemen are | easily the worst paid men in the community. Not even common lab 1 orers put in more hours of work, for as little pay. The policeman worKs at least 12 hours each day, seven days
 a week, for $6O per month, and n view of the steadily increasing cost
 of all necessities of life, it is diff
 cut for any one to figure out how a
 man can live and support family on such wage.
 Some two months or whereabouts $
 ago business men of the city almost crease in the salary of the police
 man. and this petition was presented
 to the council. At that time, the
 citys financial condition was such
 that nothing could be done, and the
 petition was received and filed. Con- ditions are improved now, and the matter is expected to be brought up for action tonight

DYING, VETERAN ASKS ANNULMENI
 DIVORCE DECREE

MT. and Mrs. Frank M Cox, who were divorced on September g, 1908, are again husband and wife. Judge John M. Elliott granted a joint peti- tion to set aside the divorce decree granted upon the application of Mrs. Cox nine years ago. The formal court action covers pathetic story, one that shows it requires, in some cases, more power than any earthly court wields to put as under those whom God had joined together" MT. Cox is dying at Montgomery, Ala, and de- sirous of doing something to atone for the years of separation, he wanted the divorce decree set aside, that his aged wife might be eligible to the pen sion he receives as a veteran of the Confederate army.
 Mnst Help Support Children.
 A different story is that gathered from the petition of plaintiff in the case of s. c. Leighty vs. Frank C.. Leighty to amend the decree of di- vorce granted plaintiff on February 2S, 1914. This petition states that in the original complaint plaintiff did not ask that defendant be ordered to con tribute to the support of the three children. whose custody plaintiff ob- tained. because defendant was then in Illinois. She tells the court that though she works every day, she can earn only $6 week, a sum insult ficient to support herself and the chill dren, now Il, 8 and ( years of age. The defendant. the complaint recites, is now in the employ of the Iron Mountain railroad in this state; that he earns $75 month as telegrapher, but refuses to contribute one cent toward the support of herself or his children" though he "has no one tc support but himself"
 The order sought was issued by the court. Judge Elliott instructing that defendant be notified to pay plaintiff $25 month, to pay $1O to to the clerk for costs and $25 to Nixon, Levine & Nixon, counsel for plaintiff The Iron Mountain is enjoined from payisg Leighty any wages due until he com plies with the order of the court

IDENTIFY SECOND
 VICTIM OF BOMB

Boston, March 17.-Positive identi fication tonight of the second victim of the bomb explosion in the Suffolk county courthouse yesterday as Daniel K. Grady of this city, and the conclu- sion of experts that the bomb was identical with one that partly wrecked the harbor police station two months ago, deepened the mystery surround ing the explosion.
 The police theory has been that the man had perished by his own bomb, and that Louis A. Zelinger. ianitor, lost his life in trying to take the ex- plosive from the one who carried it.
 Tonight Police Superintendent Crow icy said he was convinced that Grady did not place the bomb. Witnesses have been found who said an article resembling the internal machine re- mained near an ante room nearly all day yesterday.
 Grady was resident of the RoXbury district and unmarried. He has been i'll. Yesterday he was searching for employment and his family believes he was listening to a case of two friends in the courtroom. Relatives say he knew nothing about explosives.
