Wheeler, special agent of the reve nue department, who was at Collector Withers' office'-yest'erday checking the records of his department. "Since the present campaign wis opened against them have landed thirty Iv. 6f them, and we will get the rest very shortly and absolutely clean out the business in northern Arkansas," he continued. "The moonshiners shot a posse of oScerg there last fall and killed some of them. Then the napaft ment gave orders te clean out the gang, and we are doing it: The hnnt is on aSi tne game will be caught or ran out of the country." The horde of moonshiners that came Into Arkansas and Missouri along the line were from Georgia principally. Three years ago a war was opened on them there, and they were hunted so hard they had to leave. The unfrequented woods and hills ot Arkansas gave many of them a hiding place," while others went into the Orarks. They were chased so hard by officers under the late Gen. Jo She!1 by they had to leave Missouri, and they went into tSft Arkansas moun tains. Whfcn a posse of deputy mar shals and revenue agents started after them they were led into ambush and four killed. It was war then, and every man who refused to aid the fed eral officers was arrested. The spies for the moonshiners were shot or cap tured. The war has been rcle&tiess. When a clear case against a man was made out so heavy a bond was required that he could not give it, and as they were gathered behind the bars the business lost its allurements. In chasing them out of the OxarkS, Gen. Shelby's men had repeated shoot ing scrapes, and Wounded several men. The St. L&iis marshals have captured a number of the men, and the business Is Just about wound up. Is Ymng Bat Kaews Law.

This'included an abject apology, a sweeping d"sa vowal, and $10,000 for the sUlTsrers from the outrage. As the republic was willing to grant full reparation, the naval expedition did not exert the force it was prepared to use in case of a re fusal. When the facts of ths expedi tion were reported to Congress, the President said that the dispatch of this formidable naval fleet had had a salu tary Influence throughout the world.

Xew n!ttcry th OI! Artt A very interesiing discovery was re cently made in the finding ot an oil portrait of Amerigo Yespucci in a church of Florence. The discovery is valuable from a historical standpoint, and it is ranked as one of the artistic sensations of recent years. Of course you are familiar with the story of Amerigo Vespucci's voyages to the new world. Early ia the sixteenth cen tury he wrote several accounts of his travels. These became so popular that the new world was called America in his honor. Vespucci died in Seville in 1512 at the age of 6L The newly found portrait of Vespucci is part of a fresco which forms an altar-piece in the Ognissanti church at Florence. It was painted by a Florentine artist named Domenico Ghirlandajo. Freaw Faraace to Labarj(ory Sometimes It is bard to tell what a man's future will be by the occupation he pursues early in life. You would hardly expect the firemen of a locomo tive to become a celebrated professor of chemistry. Yet Prof. Morris, head of the chemical department of Cornell university, was once a fireman on the New York Central railway. After be ing advanced to the position, of engi neer Mr. Morris determined that he must have an education In order to suc ceed in life. He saved his money and studied between working' hours till he ffaally entered Union college. From this place of learning he was gradu ated with honors. He made chemistry his specialty and now holds a very it portant and honorable position.

"That settles it," ground out the pretty KUbretta with a very unsou bre'.tish grimace; and she precaeded to lay the lash cf her quick tongue un mercifully upon her adorer.

Dolly called to her maid, who was passing through the hall at this moment, "hand Mr. Lowderidge a glass of water. Good morning, sir." Ten years later Mr. Clarence Low deridge, the most successful and blood curdling melodramatist of the decade, was speeding along a lonely country road on his bicycle. His last six months of labor, worry and sleepless ness had resulted in the greatest melo drama within the recollection of the critics and the worst. But it caught the crowd and Mr. Lowderidge was en deavoring to recuperate his spent ener gies far from the busy haunts of men.. The dust rose in clouds, parching his throat, aad he was fain to alight be fore a rather shabby cottage in the en deavor to buy a glass of milk or cider. A fat, short woaan came out as she heard the gate slam-behind him. She was not a ravishing, but a decidedly healthy creature; and her homely fea tures seemed to grow upon him ia in terest despite the unmentionable state ef her kitchen apron. Mr. Lowderidge asked for the milk and received the esormoB3 howl of cream from her hlowzed hands with an inward shud der.
