The Lightning Artist.

The following clipping taken from the Dardanelle Post of last week throws some light upon matter referred to in the last issue of the DEMOCRAT. We are advised that the Post has good grounds upon which to base It's structures, and as the subject has been freely discussed here we reproduce the article to settle the identity of the party implicated so that suspicion might not attach to an in- nocent person:
 "A rumor has been atloat in town for some time that Arthur Mcclure was married while he was in Coffyville, Kan, but his conduct since his return did not indicate anything of the kind, and in fact he was emphatic in his denial of the report. The PosT refrained from com ment on the rumor for fear of doing the young man great wrong. It turns out, however that the report IS true; !; that he married nice respectable girl at Coffyville and lived with her nearly two months and abandoned her, and we would be recreant to our duty to the public not to publilh it, as unpleasant as it is, Arthur Mcclure is q married man and when he imposes himself on the young ladies of this or any other town, he commits an unpardonable tresspass on society for which he can't be heard to apologize. The Kansas union may have been compulsory, but be that as it may, it is binding until annulled by a court of competent jurisdiction and for good cause shown, and he should govern himself accordingly"
 In this connection it is proper to state that MT. Mcclure is no longer in the employ of Mir. Hoops.

The Little Rock Economist publishes weekly pen pictures of members of the legislature. In recent issue we find the following concerning one of our representatives.
 "One of the stalwart democrats of the lower house is the Hon. M. H. bu- ehanan of Pope county. He has no pet scheme to advocate except medical bill which he introduced which defines the qualification of poacticing physicians. He IS chairman of the committee of practice of medicine; also member of committee of insurance, and internal improvement.

those who dwell in the forest and cut the logs, with their wives and children suffer, when the mills shut down. The men who in mud and
 mire dig the coal by day and by night suffer when the mines suspend. The men who by constant and ardu- ous toll suffer when by delays in the shipment of cotton, the buyers of cotton are prevented from giving a fair price for cotton.
 By visiting the numerous cotton yards of the State during the fall, and seeing them covered with thous- ands of bales of the feecy staple, one would be convinced that the shippers of cotton are neglected. By talking with the merchants he would soon learn that this stagnation in the removal of cotton from our cot ton yards is due to the neglect or re- fusal of the railroad companies to furnish sufficient number of cars to convey the cotton away. In this age of buzzing wheels, whirling spindles whizzing trains, talking photographs and .ashing electricity, stagnation in the commerce of our State is financial ruin. Already this stagnation caused by their re- fusal to furnish cars, has aided ma terially in bringing about the finan- cial ruin of some of our bravest. best men. Already the grinding heel of giant monopolies is crushing out the life of our infant industries; already the greedy hand of trusts is taking the morsel of bread from the mouths of the famishing poor; already these railroad corporations stand like blind Simpsons with powerful hands upon the central columns of our States financial temple ready to pull down the once proud structure upon our own heads.
 This bill is in the interest of the humble, the weak, the poor, and when it comes to maintaining the rights of the people as against the wrongs of monopoly, no true man should falter Hesitation is coward ice, delay is destruction. Then vote for this bill and receive the benedic- tions of the woodman in the forest who cuts the timber that makes our lumber, of the blackencd miner who mid mud and coal dust digs the coal of our valleys, of the sunburned plowman who in sunshine and show CT, in heat and cold, makes the cot ton to clothe the nations.

Our coal Interests.

The justly celebrated Ouita coal min ing interests round about Russellville are attracting the attention of capitalists and coal dealers who are looking for a safe and profitable business in which to invest their money. They know and re alize the reputation and value of this ex- tra grade of coal, it being the purest and hardest anthracite ever yet discovered in any of the western states. 1t com petes successfully i'll the coal markets with the Pittsburg anthracite and gives perfect satisfaction to all who have burn- ed 1t in base burners and heaters. Our town is visited almost daily by strangers from all over the country, all are well pleased and speak highly of the coal in- dustry and many are associating them selves in the mining business and are making preparations to open new mines during the summer.
 The five different companies who in the last year opened mines southeast of town report flourishing and paying business. The thick vein lately discov- cred by Sweet & Son with a prospect drill will be opened and worked by sev- eral strong companies this summer. If this vein proves to be when opened by a shaft as thick as shown by the drill it will be the most valuable vein in the state by reason of its quality and thick ness.
 Our friend W. D. Russell's visit here a few weeks ago indicates that the shaft sunk by his company west of Ouita will soon be working in full force again.
 Russellville is to be congratulated on her bright outlook, being so favorably situated in the heart of the richest coal field in the state, her population IS rap idly swelling in numbers, and she will soon be city of no mean importance.

ALFRED PACKER, an eccentric
citizen of Colorado who killed and
ate five companions, was several
years ago sent to the penitentiary,
and reduced to the commonplace diet
of bacon and boiled beef. This fare
palled on Alfred, and he made plant.
His sentences were eight years for
each succulent friend, total of forty
years, the second sentence beginning
at the expiration of the first, and so
on. Alfred claimed that this was
unconstitutional, and that in serving
eight years he had done complete
penance. Fortunately for well-fed
Coloradoans the court took a con-
trary view, and thirty-two weary
years are still between the cannibal
and his next square meal.

Substantial Rewards.

Physical strength is highly rated in
Switzerland. In several cantons the
custom still prevails of holding
wrestling matches. The champions
taking part in these athletic sports
belong to the most diverse ranks in
the social scale. Thus, at a recent
festival at Grenchen, a little town in
the canton of Soleure, a wealthy
property owner and his tenant, car
penter, stepped into the arena to
wrestle according to the rules of the
art. There were to be four rounds,
or "falls;" the stake for each fall"
was one quarters rent. After the
carpenter had thrown his landlord
four times the victor's prize was
awarded to him. and he found him
self entitled to live in his house rent
free for whole year.

Two Puzzles.

Here are two puzzles for some lively
young heads to work out: First-A
man had two watches, each watch he
sells for S12 apiece. On the first
watch be loses so per cent. On the
second watch he gains so per CEN.
How does he come out Oh the emit 6
transaction? Does he gain, lose or
stay even?
Second-A man died leaving a will
giving one-half his property as he
left it to one son, one third to another
son, and one ninth to the third son.
His entire possessions were found to
be seventeen COWS. How were they
divided so that each son got his share
without killing or dividing a COW.

elected County Attorney. After
holding other offices he removed to
Topeka in 1861 and has resided there
ever since. In 1878 he was elected
to the Legislature, succeeding him
self in "a. In 1876 he ran for Gov
ernor, but was defeated, though rum
ming about $1,000 votes ahead of his
ticket In 1880 he was chairman of
the delegation to the National Demo-
cratic Convention, and supported Gen.
Hancock.
In 1882 he declined the nominal
tion for Governor, but was elected
Judge of the Third Judicial District
by 4,500 majority in the face of a
natural Republican majority of 5000.
In 1886 he ran for Congress, but the
overwhelming Republican majority
was too much for him. In 1888 he
ran 5000 votes ahead Of his ticket
for Governor, but was defeated.
During the recent campaign he was
largely instrumental in bringing
about the amalgamation of the Popu-
lists and Democrats and taking the
State from the Republican column.
