Bad Boys In Hot Springs.
Hot Springs, May 6.—Boy
burglars who have annoyed bus
iness men of Hot Springs for
the past two years’ at intervals,
are again busy. They last night
robbed Wier’s grocery store of a i
about $60 worth of cigars, to-!
bacco, chewing gum, cheese, i
crackers and sardines.
The police are powerless toj
check the boys’ depredations, j
They cannot be p|aced on the;
chain gang nor held in jail, un- j
der the law. When one was
recently convicted and sent to;
the reform department of the
state penitentiary on an eight i
months’ sentence, Gov. Davis
promptly pardoned him out.
-.—.-—
The Star Clothing Company
and the Wolff-Goldman Mercan
tile Company are to be com
mended on closing their places
of business every evening at 7
o’clock. It is but human that
the clerks during the hot sum-j
mer, should have their evenings,1
and nothing is to be lost by those
who have taken the initiative
step.

DAVIS WILL TAKE STUMP.
Whenever Republican Opposition De
velops Governor Announces
He will Uphold Ticket.
Little Rock, May 6—Governor
Jeff Davis will canvas several
counties during the fall cam
paign in the interest of the dem
ocratic legislative ticket. The
announcement was made today
in a telegram received by Private
Secretary Charles Jacobson.
The telegram came from Los
Angeles, where Governor Davis
is spending a few days. In the
telegram Gov. Davi& states he
sees by the newspapers that the
republicans are putting out tick
ets in some of the counties of the
state against the democratic
legislative nominees. His can
vass will more than likely be
confined to the counties where
the republican tickets are put in
the field, but the telegram does
not so specifically state. In sev
eral counties where the results
were close at last election repub
lican tickets are being nominated
and it is expected that Gov.
Davis will make speeches in each
of these counties.
