The county court on Monday made an appropriation of S5 .2so for the pur- pose of building a new jail. The pres ent jail is unsafe and entirely too small. There are but two cells and u corridor, which necessitates the keep ing of whites and blacks, women and men, sane and insane in the same apartmeuts.- Monroe County Sun.
 Our jail is in exactly the same con ,lition and the above fits this county except us to the appropriation. Why not have new court house and jaily "a brick, if you please, which will be credit to the people who pay lhe taxes. We are satisfied Judge CofFey will think favorably of the matter.

FROM first to last, Mir. FeatherSton has voted for and sustained that most infamous measure known as the force bill. He no doubt believes that the Lest and surest way to secure n repub- lican majority in congress, is to intro duee bayonets at tho polls. Every in telligent republican, whether black or white, knows. or ought to know, that should this bill become law trouble will result from it, and If trouble comes, the negroes will be the losers. The act is held up by its supporters as heing in the interest os the colored race. Iii is really an attempt to get s few of them killed for political pur- poses. The colored voters of St. Fran eis county have no reason to grumble about fair elections, and hence should vote against Featherston. who votes to have armed men Ut the polls.

lF any person can give us the infor nation, we would like to know why there are no political appointments for this county. There has not been a political speech made in Forrest City this year, and there are none booked for this place that WE are aware of. Everything indicates that the demuc- racy has lost, and will continue to lose, if we fail toeducate the people This county should be thoroughly can yassed for Hon. w. II. Cate, and there should be several good rousing demo cratic speeches made. We do not want anything to arouse prejudice or malice, but plain and eloquent facts and figures which will determine the people that it is absolutely necessary to send a democrat to the next congress. and that that democrat must be Hon. w. II. Cate, the champion of democ- racy and the friend of the laboring man.

IN every case where his vote was re- quircd by the republicans Mir Feather ston has voted with them. They have enacted some of the most hultful laws to the Southern farmer and lsborer. 1t is true that he voted against the Mckinley bill. but his vote was not re- luired, and 1t is now in full operation, robbiDg us by increasing the duty, and hence the price. on many nccessaries of life and a few of the luxuries. In this connection We quote paragraph of excellent advice from the Walnut Ridge Telephone. It says: Our planters, while they are gathering the rich harvest that nature has given them in return for their industry and confidence, must not forget the great duty they owe to the cause of correct principles and justice, and must not fail to be early at the polls and vote for Judge Gates return to congress"

a Drunken Pair.

On Sunday last James Smith and
Sydney Davis, two young men who
are said 10 he recent arrivals in this
city, went to a livery stable on Com
mercial Street and hired a horse
and buggy, and proceeded to have
what they termed a Fly time"
The horse was driven to its utmost
speed around the city and finally
the animal was turned in the direc-
ton Of Sugar House Ward. On ar
irving at that place the young
s'bloods" filed the air with drunken
wells. Funeral services were being
conducted in the wand meeting
house, but for time the disturbance
was 50 great that the homage thai
was being paid the deFarted dead
had 10 be suspended.
DEPUTY sheriff SmOot was noti-
fieI OF the action Of the debauchers
and Immediately teok steis to place
| them under arrest Upon discover
ing that an officer was after their
they put whip to their animal anu,
with demon-like yells and the
brandishing Of whiskey bottles, they
dashed down the road at n high rate
Of speed, with the officer in pur-
suit.
The chase suddenly terminated.
however, by the buggy coming In
contact with a Tree near the side
OF the read, which completely de-
molished the V hicle and ihfiictesi
severe injury upon the horse. The
abrupt stop somewhat sobered the
fiery youths, but when they
were placed under arrest by offiet
Smoo:, aud landed in the county
Jail, where they remained all night,
the SOLDERING process was complete.
Tt ey appeared before Judge Norrell
Yesterday and were fined IN the sum
OF $40 vacn and costs Of court. A
damage suit has also been entered
against them by the livery man.

Eases which came before Judge
Blackburn at Provo yesterday:
Ephraim Nash vs.. Schofield Bros.

dered verdict of 500 for plaintiff
Arthur Brown, counsel for defend
ant, asked that the jury be polled.
The clerk polled the jury and
Thatcher Hallett and F. ID. Alex
ander answered that such was not
their verdict, and thereupon the
court ordered the jury to again re-
tire and bring in unanimous ver-
dict, to which exception was taken
by both plaintiffs and defendants
counsel. The jury retired. bat was
sent for in about an hour by the court
and discharged from further cor
sideration OF the. Gaze, mis- Honor re-
marking that such seton on the part
of two intelligent men was highly
reprehensible and punishable by the
court. but that he would overieok 1t
this time. One Of the jurors wanted
TO explain, but the court remarked
that explanation was unnecessary.
II. Danger vs.. ST. V. Ls5ieur: ac-
ton in ejectment for possession OF
six mineral wax claims in the
Canyon, up Spanish Fork Canyon
The defense objected totne testimony
in regard to the location OF said
claims; the aIlegata must conform

on this were made by Brown on
the one side and Kellogg on the
other. Kellogg then flied an
amended complaint and Brown
pleaded surprise. Upon this the cour'
granted twenty days 10 answer
