supervisor of the first and second con-
gressional districts of Arkansas, in con-
nection with the late election, was agreed
to, after statement by Jones that he had
seen newspaper report TO the effect that
the supervisor presented an account for
5000.
The election bill was then taken up
and Berry spoke in opposition. As
an illustration OF the bad effects Of
such law, he referred to the recent APP
pointment by United States Circuit Judge
Williams in Arkansas of John Mcclure as
chief supervisor of elections. Judge
Williams had, he said, lost the confidence
Of large portion Of the people Of Arkan-
sas on account of his imposing on them
the very worst man in all Arkansas to ex-
ercise the high functions of that Office.
The same thing might occur in
all other states, the supervi-
sors holding their Office for life.

Gated on the other side OF the chamber.
Ii was, therefore, partisan measure.
Berry savagely scored Supervisor Nc
Clure and entered an earnest protest
against the bill as measure designed to
legalize fraud.
Daniels spoke briefly, after which
George obtained the floor.
Aldrich, from the finance committee,
reported the house bill 10 authorize the

It Makes Us Laugh

To see what have been the leading

yourselves and we will sit back in

of reasons for so doing, but in
reality seeing their business fall

gree, they knew something must
be done to stop it.
Why was their business falling
off SOP
That is question easily
answered.
A new clothing firm had en-
tered the arena for the public
patronage and had conducted a
business that was something new
to these "Old Timers" 1t was
competition that they were not
used to. This new firm conducts
business that gives credit to no
one and consequently does not
compel cash paying customers to
pay "siX months time" prices
and also pay the bills of those
who do not pay at all. Those
"Old Timers began scratching
their heads when they found
trade slipping away from them.
To use slang expression people
were ION to them and they knew
it. so what did they do. They
were not honest enough to mark
their goods down without -four

virtually admitting they were toe

Their present tour through the West is
the first they have made, having re-
mained exclusively in the larger cities of
the East since their first appearance three
years ago.
The advance sale Of seats for the per-

large audience. The Montreal Star Of Sep

THE RAYMOND DEEP WINE.

From date of last weeks report
but little gain was made on the water in
in this Wine, until Wednesday. On
that day the Tank used auxiliary to the
small pump in raising water from the
winze was taken out and replaced by a
six-inch Knowles pump. Thereafter
the gain was steady and con-
siderable, until on Thursday morn
ing, the surface of the water had lowered
to the top of the large pump at the
l4OO.foot level, abandoned, almost new.
by the Raymond & Ely Company. ten
years ago, on account of their alleged
inability to handle the water at that
time. The debris will be removed from
about this pump Immediately, and it
will be set running, it is hoped,
early in the coming week.
The additional facilities thus secured
will, it is expected, largely increase the
progress of draining the mine.
