A Winner Of S1h.OOO.

An interview was had yesterday with Mr. Frank Bergen, who recent lg won $I5.000 in the Louisiana State Lottery. He vas found at his saloon, corner Akard and Marilla streets, and in answer to a question, sald he lived in Dallas for Ii or l5 years, and was Tn the railroad busi- ness for about six years.
 "Was this the first time you ever bought ticketr"
 No: it was the second time. but it was the first time I ever won any thing"
 Were you surprised at hearing of your good luck"
 Surprised? When I should re- mark as William NJ. Evarts would say, was most completely irebriat- ed by an exuberance of surprise"
 "How do you intend spending your money"
 Well, for sometime past l have been endeavoring to save money enough to build home, put 1t was up hill work. Now, however, am fixed and intend investing, in DaI. las real estate in very short time"
 Have you received your money yet, MT. Bergent"
 "Yes l received a check for the full amount and got it cashed."
 "Tel me, Mr. Bergen, how does a man feel when he strikes it rich"
 "Well, sir, I cannot describe the feeling. The first three or four hours you don't know whether you are on your head or your feet, and you don't care. If you should hap pen to be walking down the street and fall headlong into one of the nu- merous ditehes and holes peculiar to Dallas, or should you happen to be crossing a ditch where pipe had been recently laid and stick there you wouldn't cuss; you'd be too happy, and merely cry, Eureka I have struck morass certainw Wen t you have sometb.ngf f''-Dallas (Tex.

AN ADDRESS

To the Temperance People ot Arkan- sas:
 Whereas, a convention was recent ly called to meet at Little Rock on the 4th day of July. The proposed object of said convention was, among other things,to discuss the propriety of placing a state prohibition party ticket Tn the field.
 And, whereas, those who called said convention and who claimed the right to make rules for the admission of delegates thereto declared that no one would be permitted to partiei- pate in the proceedings of the con vention who did not favor the forma- ton of political prohibition party and adopt the national prohibition party platform as the embodiment of his political faith. And whereas, the persons who called said conyen- tion dld not claim to be authorized by any temperance organization to make such call,
 Therefore, We declined to enter the convention or to participate in the proceedings thereof, and we do protest against the action of the per sons composing sad convention as in opposition to the spirit and intent of the temperance movement, and detrimental to the best interests of the cause in Arkansas; and we ad- wise the friends Of temperance throughout the state to disregard the action Of said conyention and pursue the course so wisely adopted heretofore. Let no one be discour- aged or diverted by this indlscreet movement, but let every true tenn perance man and prohibitionist vote and work against license at the Sep tember election, regardless of party atiiliation.

IN organizing a Harrison and Morton club at Little Rock last week the white republicans gave the col ored people to understand that mo negro need apply" This has gwen rise to just indignation upon the part of the colored folks and they are not slow in speaking of it. It is just as we have contended all along whenever the white republicans find they have nothing to gain by the colored mans vote, they drop him too quick to talk about Slowly but surely, these people are beginning to find out who their best friends are.

JUsT as was expected the indis- erect and over jealous prohibition ists who met in convention at Little Rock last week put an cleo toral ticket in the field. A strong effort was made to put out Q state ticket also, but wiser counsels prevailed and an adjourn ment was reached without doing so. A number of delegates, including some of the ablest and most faithful advocates of the temperance cause in the State, dissenting from the view of those who would be satisfied with nothing less than ticket, withdrew and after consultation, issued a strong address to the people expres- siye of their opposition to the lorna tion of temperance political party and the putting of a state and electoral ticket Tn the field. The address In full appears elsewhere. We endorse the sentiments expressed in the address, and believe the best interests of the temperance cause can be best sub served by following the course sug gested.

UPON good authority it is learned that Harrison has an adverse major ity of l5000 in Indiana to overcome in order to carry that state in No vember.
