ARKANSAS PEACHES FROZEN | The Crop in the Northwestern Part of the State Badly Damaged. Rogers, Ark. Feb. 5 —The peach crop of Northwestern Arkansas was badly damaged by the cold weather of January 25, although at the time it was believed it had escaped. The lowest temperature reported in this part of the state was 4 degrees be- low zero. Under ordinary circum- stances this would not have injured the peaches, but the warm weather fn January brought the buds out too soon. Estimates for the crop based on present indications are from 10 to 30 per cent Presijent Logan of the Arkansas State Horticultural society says the growers near Siloam Springs estimate that three-fourths of the Elberta peaches are killed Fayetteville growers estimate their loss at 0 per cent. The peach growers near Rogers, the largest shipping point for peaches in Northwest Arkansas, agree that there cannot be more than a third of acrop. While the Elbertas suifered worst all budded peaches were badly damaged. Seedings which have no commercial value, were unharmed. The Elbertas are the earliest peach of the Southwest aud the principal At Van Buren, n mountaina, the damage is reporte} light with pros- pects for a crop.

Sterling, Ill, Feb. 6.—Banditsstole 5,000 in gold from the Adame ex press company’s agent here late last night and escaped. It was a clever piece of work and is baffling the skill of Chicago detectives who are now on the case. The express car was attached te the Chicago, Burlington and Quiney passenger due here at 8:45 o'clock in theevening. Express Messenger Freé Harmon had entered the express car andlaid the bag containing the mon ey aside to do other work. He hac scarcely turned his back, when be heard a slight noise, and the next in stant discovered that the money had bren stolen. The entire police force of the city was placed on the case, but no trace of the thieves could be found. The police report that they hope to make an arrest before mid night. The train on which the robbery was committed carries vast sume o! money for the express company which is generally known, The police believe that the robbery was careful ly planned by experts in the busi ness, Who followed the money fron its shipping point Baldwin After Ziegler. Edna, Kan, Feb. 6 —Evelyn B Baldwin has issued a statement in re- ply to the assertion of William Zieg- ler that he had discharged the ex- plorer, in which he says: “Itis untrue that I was discharged by William Ziegler.

Lee De Ford, the Altamont, Mo., Embezzler, Gained Time. Altamont, Mo., Feb. 6,—Lee De Ford, cashier of the Bank of Alta- mont, Daviess county, which closed its doors here last week, was noteap- tured in Council Bluffs, Ia., as was reported yosterdavy morning, De Ford fled Monday night after confess- ing that he was an embezzler to the amount of $21,000, A warrant was issued for his arrest, but he got out of town before it could be served. De Ford threw the authorities off histrack for a day by a ruse inCoun- cil Binffs that may have given him time to reach Canada or some place, where capture will be almost impoa- sible. A telegram signed by De Ford was received by De Ford's brother- in-law, a druggist here, 'Paesday af ternoon. The telegram reac: “I missed my train here and am under arrest.

Des Moines, In, Feb. 5.—Tw masked men bound and gagygec Frederick Snyder, a farmer, residing near Clive, a small town five miles west of here, while he was milking to-day and secured $1,500, procaed+ of a live stock sale. Unconsciou- from the cold, Snyder was discovered three hours later and removed te hi- home, The money was drawn from the bank to meet some obligations due today. There is no clue. A DESCRIPTION OF DE FORD The message probably was sent by a friend. The authorities in Alta- mont were satisfied that De Ford was caught, and that report was sent out. More investigation of the affairs of the bank of Altamont has brought out the fact that the embezzlemente may reach more than $21,000 There is a shortage of more than $30,000 now, but it is not known how much of this is due to legitimate, although bad, business methods. The bank was owned by the three De Fords and Mr. Barkdale, of this place. The father of the cashier, Lee De Ford, and his brother Ross had stock in the bank. The embezzle- ment will ruin the father and brother and probably Mr. Barkdale. These two, with Barkdale, owned a farm near here of 510 acres which is worth $25,000. The farm has been turned over to meet the bank’s indebted. ness. The rest of the money of these three men was mostly in bank stock, which is worthless now. An Enoch Arden Kills Wife.

The scent of the violet or rose is as pags as the lovely flowers whose reath they are, and while the lives of flowers are brief and we can only enjoy them for a day, the beautiful woman gives the pleasure of her fragrance to us as a permanent blessing. The soft fragrance of a beautiful woman suggests purity, health and elegance; she is the refinement of civilization; an index always of good taste and an unerring badge of gentility.

Ad- miral Lambton asks the newspapers to abstain from comment pending de- velopments. HEALTH IN CITIES. Mortality Declared by Eminent Phy- sician Less in Large Cities Than in Small Towns, Dr. Karl Ballod read a paper recent- ly before the international statistical eonference in Berlin on the mortality in large cities, contending that cities hay- ing a population of a million, in western Europe. were healther than smaller cities, because the latter’s precautions were far inferior to those of the larger cities. Berlin, he said, was the most healthful and London and Vienna came next. Paris was the worst of all. Coun- try populations were the least healthy, but country people going tothe cities were healthier than town-bred persons. White the reral populations were ste- tiowary in Germany since 1871, the cities had doubled their populations, and the country was increasing in population by nearly a million a year. France Has a New Coin. France hae a new coin made of nickel, called a nickel, like the American piece and of the same value—25 centimes, or five cents. It was designed by Auguste Patey. On oné side its value is marked, the date 1903 and the inscription “Liberte, Equality, Fraernity;” on the other is a woman’s head, wreathed in laurel, representing the French republic.
