A Run of Hard Luck. Mickey Aiubrson, the eccentric miner of Npndra, who is also a justice of the peace, a cornet, player, and a vaudeville artist of no little merit, has every reason to remember Labor day.

He went to sleep, and some one swiped his cornet, wliich cost him and an umbrella. In addition to that a policeman arrested him and locked him up. He put up a $5 forfeit and was released. He went to sleep in an alley off North Seventh street and a negro got his watch and money. He failed to show up at, the police court, and his money was forfeited.

On Wednesday Judge Edmonson made an appeal to the court, in view of the many misfortunes of Mickey, and the was refuneded, an act of kindness for which Anderson showed appreciation in a low bow and with the declaration that there would be reciprocity when the court, went to PERSONAL AND SOCIETY Mrs. H.

The hearing of Ike Evens, on a charge of purchasing; stolen goods knowing them to be stolen, was to have taken place before Justice Edmondson on Wednesday, but was postponed in or der to save the reputation of Ike among the people of his color who are visiting the colored exposition. Ike informed Justice Edmondson that he is a mem ber of the directorate and that his so cial standing might be imperiled if the case was to come up in tne middle of the week.

A white man named Smith will hereaf tcr know what it will cost him when he abuses bis wife.

On Tuesday night he went home tanked up and struck belaud threw ber out of the house and also pushed her mother out. He asked his wife if he did not give her his entire pay and she replied: "Yes, but you make me account for every cent of the money.

You tell me how I must spend the money nnd 1 obey you." Then Smith asked her if he did not provide for her and she said that he did but she would rather he would provide less if ho would cease cursing her. Mrs. Smith is learning the millinery trade and her failing to come home early is what nettled the husband. I. Peterson went up against 1'ncle Sam in the person of one of his soldiers on Wednesday morning and.

as a result, will have to pay $50. Peterson met three of the quarantine guard just relieved from duty and, stepping up to one of them, hit him. at the same time saying: "You ain't game, ihe soldier knocked Peterson down and then made at him with a bayonet. Peterson got wise to the danger and scooted. The soldier threw his bayonet at the sprinter, but did not bit him.

Peterson picked the bayonet up and was for showing tight when one of the other guards presented his gun and Peterson wilted. Officer Sehwebke then arrived and took charge of Peterson. "Walter Dickson, the young drug clerk, who was held over to enable the officers to secure witnesses, was fined $15 on a charge of vagrancy. Judge Freer informed the young man that a prominent gentleman from Talis had asserted that he was no srood and worse. What Dickson called "hashers testified that Dickson had tried to "eat off them." A number of drunks and disorderlies were disposed of in the regular manner.

It is hinted that Judge Rowe will have some-, thing to say as a prelude to his explan- ation of the different grades of offenses against the law. It is likewise hinted that the court has been- at work' at the know declare that what Judge Rowe will say will create quite a sensation. A Benefit Ball Game.

She leaves a family of grown up children and considerable property. The funeral took place from the late residence on Wednesday evening, under the auspices of the Colored Order of the Eastern Star and was largely attended.

CIII GUARDS WITHDRAWN Reliance Will Be Placed Temporarily at Leaast, Solely on State Quarantine. The beard of health held a meeting on Tuesday night at. which it was decided to turn the quarantine over to ne state guards, and temporarily withdraw all local guards. For the present Dr. Southard will, investigate all hold up cases, but within a few days he will withdraw from that service, it being the intention of the state board of health to give the guards blank forms contain ing an oath to the effect that the signer has not been in any infected district for six days.

One of the passengers from the Territory who was detained and taken to the office of Dr. Southard for examination, he having a defective certificate, said that he knew when he got the certificate that it would not go through, but he thought he would take chances. He said that sometime ago he was in Texas and that together with a number of others, he was admitted across the line upon taking oath that he had not been in Louisiana. He said that some of those who subscribed to that oath, had to his knowledge, just come out of Louisiana. The gentleman said that with soldiers guarding the state lines and their right to pass persons, who, upon their oath, declared that they had been in any infected district, it became an easy matter to get into Arkansas and those from the fever districts who are able to get to the Arkansas line will have no trouble at all in crossing the dead line.

Dr Southard is of the opinion that such a quarantine does not quarantine worth a cent. The resolution adopted by the board follows Whereas, the State Board of Health has undertaken to quarantine the en tire, borders of the state in every di rection with the state militia, having instructeed the officers of the militia to allow no one to cross the state line into the state without a health certificate in proper form, from a regularly appointed city or county or State Board of Health, and that they must allow no one to enter with or without health certificates from Louisiana; Mis'-sissippi, Florida, and the city of Atlanta, Ga. Whereas, Capt. Humphrey, of the lo cal militia, reports that he has been instructed to co-operate with the local board and that He has sufficient force under his command to thoroughly protect this Therefore, be it resolved that our lo cal quarantine guards be at least tem porarily withdrawn. This provision will allow people trav eling within the state only and who do not cross its lilies to pass from place to place within the state without health certificates in perfect safety to the people of the state, as all infected regions are now cut off by the extension of the state quarantine.

A. BALL, Cashier. Suit Cases GOOD EASY Passed Away Tuesday at San Diego, After Months of Failing Health. On Wednesday night a telegram was received by the local Confederate Camp from Mrs. CoL DuVal, dated San Diego, California, saying: "The Colonel died this alternoon at 3 o'clock.

Will start Thursday with the remains." Col. Ben T. DuVal was born at Wells-burg, VV. Jan. 21, 1827, and moved to Fort Smith with the family of his father, Capt.

Wm. DuVal, in 1829. Capt. Wm. DuVal was an Indian trader who established a trading post at Fort Smith in 1828, and died here in 1851.

The subject of this sketch was educated at Bardstown. Kentucky, graduating from St. Joseph's college in 1843, at the age of 17 years. 'After graduating, he studied law at' Van Buren, under Judge Jesse Turner, and later at Little Bock, under Gen. Albert Pike, receiving his license from the supreme court in 1847.

"He was a presidential elector in 1852, and was elected clerk of the Arkansas house of representatives in 1856, and drew up the bill creating Sebastian county. In I8G2, he was made quartermaster on the staff of Gen. Fagan, and served in that capacity throughout the civil war, being paroled at Shrevcpovt, La. He was with the command of Col. John Bourland when he captured Fort Smith from the federals.

He was elected to the legislature in 1858, and again in 1860, and was elected attorney general of the state on the ticket with Brooks, but vas counted out with the remainder of the ticket. Col. DuVal was made a. Mason at Greenwood in 1800, and was grand master of the Odd Fellows of the state in 1800. In 18081, he demitted from both lodges, for the purpose of joining the Catholic church with his wife.

He was married to Miss Ellen J. Field, of Little Bock, in 1845. She died in 1880, and later he married Miss Scott, of Fort Smith, by whom he is survived, as well as by a daughter, Miss Marie Du-J Val, who is a pupil in the Convent of this city. Justice Edmondson kept in correspondence with Col. DuVal and is.

in receipt of a' letter dictated by the Colonel, but written by his wife, in which he dwells at great length upon his regret that there should be dissention among the few old soldiers left, having reference, of course, to the effort on the part of some of the members of the local camp to have the name changed. Justice Edmondson says that just before the publication of the intention to change the name of the camp he received a letter written by the Colonel himself, in which he stated that he was quickly getting stronger. That was the last letter received so written, all subsequent letters being writen by Mrs. DuVal. Col.

DuVal was a striking figure, being over six feet in height, and built in proportion. During the latter years of his life he was so patriarchal of appearance that, when on the street he was so erect-o'f bearing and dignified of action that the stranger always tcok a second look at him. He was super-sensitive regarding his age, and resented any effort on the part of even his best friends to determine how long he had lived. This sensitiveness caused a great many to regard him as being very much older than he really was, and it was fre quently surmised that he was near the century point." At one time he was the leader in local polities and also in the legal practice. As the town grew his influence was less strong, and that fact caused him to feel that he was being robbed of the prominence due him by those who had not earned the right to take his place.

Some two years ago he announced that he was going to leave Fort Smith because he felt that he had outgrown his usefulness here. He went to Okmulgee in the Territory, and entered upon the practice of law there, but not meeting with success, and finding that his health was failing, he determined to go to California in the interests of a pro longed life. For a time he wrote Iiis friends here that he was being very much benefitted by the climate, and then he wrote of failing health and his departure from one town to another in hopes of at least retarding the decline. He finally took up his residence in San Diego, where he remained until his death. Col.

DuVal was in many respects a remarkable man and in his day, met the demand of the moment. For a time he was the law partner of Col. W. M. Cravens and together they led one of the local political factions represented by "The Independent," edited by John H.

Wheeler, and 'The Herald," edited by James II. Sparks, being the other organ- Though somewhat inclined to keep aloof from his fellows, when 'intimately known, Col. DuVal was found to be extremely hospitable and warm hearted The first showing of new 1905 fall shapes in Dunlap Stiff and Soft Hats are exhibited in our window. Spadra and ran amuck of the law. Quarantine Experiences.

Quite a number of passengers without eerttlicatcs were held up on the Cannon Ball Tuesday morning until the arrival of lr. Southard, who found that none of them came from infected districts. Dr. Southard is receiving inquiries from heads of families as to how (hey are going to get their wives and daughters from the northern summer resorts, but Dr. Southard is unable to give them any information.

He says that Ihe state board changes the regulations so often that het is unable to keep up with it. W. II. Martin is one of those on the anxious scat. His wife and children are a).

They cannot cross the border without an oath bound declaration from some one in Minnetonka that they have been there all summer, and, as they are to start Friday morning, he has not time to notify bis wife, of the new requirements and be fears annoying delay for her and the children. Crowned the Carnival Queen. (Iciccna Morgan, the queen of the Colored Exposition was crowned the exposition hall Tuesday night, Dr.

J. 51. Conner delivered an appropri ate address in conferring the honor. A portion of the evening was occupied with a musical program, in which the follow ing persons participated: Mrs. Ada Boss, Clara Woinnek, Ella Terry, Mrs.

L. E. and Boy May. At the conclusion of this program dancing was engaged in by those present. A musi cal concert will be held Wednesday night and on Thursday afternoon at 2: HO the Queen's parade will occur, fol lowed by a competitive drill in the evening between the Light Guards, of Little Lock, and a local company or a company from Hot Springs if they are not kept, out of the city by quarantine.

On Friday the annual cotton parade, which is one of the principal features, will occur, and Saturday will be high Carnival day. King Bush, a team of comedians, are showing each night, and other amusements are provided, among them a steam swing, which is proving one of the most popular attractions. The exhibits are not so complete as in former years, but the interest is reported better otherwise, and the anendance is especially good at night. The best of order has prevailed since the opening of the exposition. Dirt Dealers nnd Built; Opimiftic.
