The conference on uniform laws began today and will continue until Wednesday.

San Francisco, Cal., Jan. 17.—(Special to Daily Democrat)—Rescued from the sinking schooner, San Tunagentura, after being tossed for two days and three nights by the giant waves, without' food and water, Captain Ratr.icuniz» his wife and baby, his sixthe crew were landed here and sent to the hospital. The vessel was laden with lumber. — 0 ... The Erie depot was broken into Sunday night, sometime between the hours of ten and eleven, the burglars getting away with about twenty dollars in cash. After attending to the business incident to the arrival of the t early night train, Bruce Christen, the night operator, went to his home, and' then returned later for the midnight train. He found that during his absence the ticket office had been broken into and that the ticket box, in which werp kept the tickets and the money drawer, had been taken away. The night policeman was summoned, and also the Erie detectives, one arirvfng from Huntington, and another from Lima, Ohio. In the meantime the search revealed the missing ticket box hidden away on the grounds of the Smith & Bell lumber yards between ; the Clover Leaf and the Erie railroads. The tickets were left undisturbed, and also 11.35 in cash, which'the robbers had evidently overlooked. Thb money box had contained from |2l to $22 In cash, o and with the exedfrtien of the >1.35 this was all taken. Ray Teeple, night man at the tower, stated that when the /0:17 westbound train on the Clover Leaf pulled in, a half hour late Sunday night, the headlight streaming down the Hack, gave him a view of two men hastening across the ground between the two railroads, apparently making for the incoming train, and it is thought that the men he saw were the burglars and that they boarded the train and pulled out with it The detectives and Marshal Peterson, who have been working on the matter since, have several cldws, and arrests will follow in a short time, it is thought. Among the men who were searched at an early hour this morning by the detectives, who lost no time in getting to work, were a large number of tramps who had spent the night snoozing in the warm loft of the Krick & Tyndal| tile factory. a —.— i . a curious Weapon. - Bert Segur, who is working in the Philippine Islands in the U. S. engineering department, has sent to his father, Harvey Segur, a curious weapon much used by the natives. It Is called a bolo, and is a sort of a cleaver like weapon, crudely made of iron, with handle of wood, carried in a wooden case, and ornamented with Woven grass, all the work of the natives. Though crude it is very effective, and both weapon and cage still bear the bloodstains of the victims. The weapon is on display in the Hensley window. Vacation is on at the court house; that is there are no sessions of the circuit court, and this fact makes the hall of justice a little dry for the news hunter. The vacation continues for three weeks. x~ ' County Treasurer Yager Jp' beginning to get b«sy. Quite a number drop in each day now and dispose of 'the tax question. The spring installment does not have to be settled until the first Monday in May, bus when it’s paid, it’s paid, and the worry is ever. The treasurer likes to see the money coming in just now, too, for it gives them plenty of time to look up any necessary matters and takes that much off of the spring rush.

The success of the Mason family, who removed from here to Arkansas a few years ago, is told in the following from the Jonesboro Evening Sun of last Wednesday: , The Portia Lumber company have the foundation laid ter their new mil], which will be one of the most' modern and up-to-date saw mills in this jjart of Arkansas when completed. It will be three stories high anfl will be 40x132 feet, built of heavy timber, requiring more than 100,000 feet of lumber in the construction of the mill. The Portia Lumber company, which has heretofore operated four mills in different parts of northeast Arkansas, are planning to concentrate all their mill interests at Jonesboro. The mill at Portia has been sold and the interests Os the company at that place will be brought to Jonesboro. The other mills at Bay and Clover Bend will be consolidated with the Jonesboro mill. The new mill will be completed at a cost of $40,000. It will be a modern band-mill, of the Allis-Chalmers make, and Will have a capacity of 40,000 feet in ten hours’ run. It will be located near the present plant at the corner of Main street and Johnson avenue. The centralizing of the plants of the Portia company in Jonesboro will mean a great deal for the city. It will mean a large increase of the pay roll, as the new mill will employ about forty men where they are now employing twenty-five. The Portia Lumber company is composed of the three Mason brothers: J. F. Mason, president; E. J. Mason, and J. B. Mason, treasurer. The company has a capital stock of SBO,OOO. The Mason' brothers came to Arkansas seventeen years ago and engaged in th£ mill business. They bought land when cheap and are today among the largest lumber and timber dealers in this part of the state. The business of the firm is' in all parts of the United States and foreign countries. All three members of the firm are now residents of Jonesboro, and have erected palatial homes. Besides their lumber interests they are connected with some of thia best financial institutions of the city, J. F. Mason being" president of the Jonesboro ice company, also a director in the Jonesboro Trust Company Bank. ff. B. Mason is president of the Home Telephone company and E. J. Mason'lF a director in the telephone company. They are progressive in evdfy respect and stand for Jbnesboro all the time. J. F. Mason Is at present president, of the Business Men’s club, and has done a great deal to build up the city. The Portia Lumber company’s new plant will be ready for business in about 120 days. Several employees from the other mills will be employed in the Jonesboro mill and will move their families to this city. — —- „ o— WILL UNDERGO (OPERATION. Sylvester Pontius Suffering From a . \ ’ Growth on Liver. Sylvester Pontius of Hartford township,'* and one of the best known residents of the south part of the county, has written to E. B. Adams of the fair association, telling him that the reason he was unable to attend the recent session was that he has been quite ill. The physicians have diagnosed tne trouble as a growth on the liver, and he will go to Indianapolis the middle of this week to submit to an operation in hopes of relief. His many friends over the county earnestly and sincerely hope for his speery recovery. —-— o . After suffering for nearly a year from Bright’s disease and other complications of a serious nature, Rev. Abraham Stalter, one of the prominent men of the county, passed away Sunday morning at 9 o’clock at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Grant Russell, at Ossian, with whom he had been making his home for the past nine months. For several weeks his condition has been alarming and his death was not unexpected. Mr. Stalter was born in Allen county, Ohio, in 1840 and at his death was sixty-nine years, eight months and twenty-eight days of age. He was the son of Christian and Catharine Stalter, who have long since preceded him in death. In early youth Mr. Stalter came tp this county and was here married to Barbara Beery, with whom he lived happily until death claimed her two years ago. Mr. Stalter spent a great part of his life on a farm west of the city and while ‘ attending to his avocation as a fanner, devoted bls life to the ministry, &nd for about half a century was a devoted wofker in tMe church of

the United Brethren Jn Christ, ministering to the Beery or Antioch church west of the city, where he was ’ a great power for good and beloved by all. His earnest Christian life, blossoming into many acts of Christian kindnesses and benevolence, will be ever for him a living memorial. He is survived by the following children: Mrs. Dal Hower, Mrs. Samuel Butler ’ of this city; Mrs. George Middle ton, j Fort Wayne; Mrs. Grant Russell, Os- ( sian; Mrs. George Abbott, Miss Lena j Stalter, Bluffton; Frank Stalter and Miss Armeda Stalter, Lima, Ohio; Martin Stalter, Peterson; Andrew Stalter, f Washington. He also leaves several brothers and ' sisters: Mrs. Sarah Hilyard, Huntnigeon; Mrs. Mary Allen, Markle; Noah Stalter of near Monroe, and ’ Christian Stalter of Lima, Ohio. 3 The remains were taken Monday to the home of the son, Martin Stalter, ’ near Peterson, where the body will lie In state until the funeral, which a will be held Tuesday afternoon at 9 1:30 o’clock from the Antioch or Beery church, west of the city, where he served so earnestly during his life. The services will be conducted by 1 the Rev. Edgar Jones of Ossian. In- ’ terment in the church cemetery. b ' Roy Wolford is lying at his home in , the southern part of the city in a very serious condition and it was necessary r to put him under the influence of an 1 anaesthetic to ease the intense suffer--5 ing from pains in the head, which he I otherwise would have to undergo. Mr. Wolford had gone to the postoffice as usual Monday and while not feeling in the best of health, had finished putting up his mail and was nearly ( ready to start out on his route. He suddenly fell over unconscious, and in a little while revived, complaining of intense pain in his head. In a very short time he again became unconscious and was taken to his home, I where the doctors administered an anaesthetic that he might be insensi- . ble to the excruciating pains. Mr. Wolford has been subject to attacks ’ of this nature ever since returning j from the Philippine Islands where he , served two years in the U. S. army. It ’ is thought that the attacks are . brought on from malarial poisoning, which he contracted vvhile there. He suffered the last attack about six months ago. _o Ralph Dettinger, aged about sixteen, a student of the Decatur liigh school, met with an unfortunate accident Sunday morning about 10 o’clock, in , which the femur of the left leg was , broken about four inches above the knee. The'lad is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Dettinger of Magley and during the week attends the Decatur . high school, boarding at the Schlickman home and working at spare time at the Schlickman feed yards. Sunday morning the boy was attending to a I horse at the Schlickman barn on SecI ond street for a party that had driven in from the country. The horse was rather fractious and while the boy was attempting to put the blanket on its back, it kicked at him, striking him on the left leg with the aforesaid results. He was taken to the Schlickman homei'Where his Injuries were given medical attention, and later was taken to his home at Magley. He is getting along very well, but .it will be r . some time before he can return to his school duties. .. o ■ .

REVIVAL AT EVANGELICAL. The revival effort at the Evangelical church, this city, began with the Sunday services. There was a large attendance at both the morning and the nfeetings. Good interest was i shown in all of the services and prospects for a genuine revival were nevbr better. However, the ultimate results , of these special meetings will depend ■ largely upon personal woj-k. The , members of the church are cooperat iling splendidly with their pastor, and ■ with such continued efforts for the , Lord good results are sure to follow (Ve invite all Christian people—and I non-Christians, toowegardless of de ■ nominationalism, not otherwise en gaged to join us in this great cam [ palgn for souls.
