Preparing for the Last Race.

New YORK, Oct 10.-The new
bowsprit that takes the place of the
one that was sprung in the Yigilants
race on Monday was in position this
afternoon, and the third race of the
match will be sailed tomorrow. The
Valkyrie never turned rope yester-
day in her work of Monday, so, of
course, she will be all right.
Lord Dunraven, designer Watson,
Capt Cranfield and Sailmaker Rabey
are all praying for a heavy wind.
They claim, and with truth, that the
Vigilant's superiority in half a gale
has not yet been proven in race be-
tween the boats, and they want a
chance in that sort of weather before
they admit that the American model
is better than that of the English. No
just comparison can be made between
what the Valkyrie did in English
waters in hard blow and what the
American boat has done in her own
waters.
Barring accidents, the American
champions are as confident as a third
and final victory as they were of the
first and second, which were both
won "hands down." Indeed the sec
ond race was, by far more decisive
victory, for the American yacht, thar
the first, and it is confidently expect
ed that the third race will prove a re.
petition of the two preceding ones
thus giving the Vigilant three con
secutive victories, and final conquest
over her English rival. Lord Dun.
raven and his faithful followers have
striven manfully against defeat, but
outclassed at every point, both in YES
sci and seamanship, they now realize
that nothing short of hurricane can
save them from utter rout.

The Minatrela.

Barlow Bros. well known minstrel
played to large and select audience,
at Ghio's opera house last night. The
entertainment, as a whole, may be
considered good and certainly sur
prasses the average minstrel perfor-
nance. There are, however, several
decidedly vulgar and objectionable
features, which should, by oil means,
be eliminated, before the management
can hope to win the approval ofa re-
fined or intelligent public The fea-
ture, for excellence, of the entertain
ment was the singing Of Master Percy
Williams, the "Boy Soprano" whose
clear nute-like voice won the hearts
Of all hearers. .utl.

HEARTRENDING ACCIDENT.

One of the sadest and most affect
ing accidents yet recorded from this
state, has been reported from Yellville,
a town in North Arkansas. The sad
story, which must touch every paren-
tai heart to the quick, is told as for
lows:
Frank Rice and family, living south
Of Yellville went over to visit Elijah
Smith and family Ou Water Greek.
While playing around the house Mr..
Rice's 6-year old son found an old pis-
tol that had been thrown under the
floor. He took it to his mother, who
being informed that it was not loaded
and had been thrown around the
house as plaything all summer,
cooked it, and pointing the muzzle
toward her boy, laughingly said: "Pll
shoot you," and pulled the trigger.
To her horror the weapon fired and
shot the boy through the heart. He
fell at her feet and uttered but one
piercing cry. The little fellow was
buried Sunday at the Taylor grave
yard and the mother is almost insane
with grief. The boy was fine, har-
dy child and idolized by all who
knew him.
About six or seven years ago, in the
same neighborhood, boy about the
same size, son OF Tom Smith, was
killed while playing with an old pis,
tol.
Elijah Smith says that the old piS-
tol that killed the Rice boy had been
lying about tn place all summer and
that he had snapped it at his baby a
thousand times. Mrs. Rice says
she has dreamed many a time of shoot
ING the boy.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
ative effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup Of Figs,
and being well informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.

AN ARKANsAN CLAIMS II.
The Farris Wheel Originally Con-
ceived and planned by an Arkan-
sas Man.

To the average worlds fair visitor
the "Farris Wheeln is remembered as
one of the really interesting and, in
many respects, wonderful features of
the great exposition. 1t will, there
fore, be of genuine interest to the
public, at large, and especially so to
the Arkansas public, TO learn that
the plans, upon which this great
mechanical contrivsnce was construct
ed, were originally formulated by a
citizen of this State and published in
the leading newspapers of Arkansas
and several other states before Farris
and his wheel were ever heard Of.
The man who originated the idea of
the big wheel was Mr.. w. H. Watcher
citizen OF Brlnkley, Ark, who is
now conducting an extensive news
and tobacco establishment near the
worlds fair grounds in Chicago.
The story of Mr.. Watchers connec-
tion with the wheel, as vouched for
by leading citizens of the State, is as
follows; The idea was first conceived
by this gentleman while a visitor to
the Paris exposition and originally
took the form of an immense swing
ing tower, which, after much thought,
was considered impracticable and was
abandoned in favor of the wheel.
In December, 1890, nearly two years
before Farris was ever heard of, he
began forming his plans for the great
wheel.
His designs, plans, and calculations
were made with the utmost pains,
and months were required to perfect
them. His plans and cuts of the pro-
posed wheel appeared in leading
papers of the country, at Little Rock
st. Louis, Chicago and, Pittsburg
He went to Little Rock and laid his
plans before the directory, who con-
sidered them feasible, and promised
to aid him so far as lay in their
power. Major Adams and G, r.
Breckenridge were warm supporters
of the enterprise. Mr.. Wachter then
went to Chicago to interest capital
lists in his scheme, as he had not the
funds to build it himself Dillon and
Haynes, Of the Stock Exchange, sub
scribed $4,000, and from other
sources he got enough to amount to
$4,000. Then he went before the
council of administration and sub
mitted his plans; but he was told the
concession would not be granted until
he could produce bond of 100000
He then went to Washington and
New York, but failed to secure the
required amount, and when he came
back to Chicago he found Ferris had
come forward with the same plan
backed up with 100000; and he was
given the concession, irrespective OF
Wachter's previous claims, and is now
reaping the glory and profits of the
great invention. Mr.. Wachtcr does
not charge Ferris with stealing hi'
plans, but points to the fact that they
were published in the Pittsburs
papers, where Ferris lived, long before
he appeared on the scene. Ferris
has always refused to see or confer
with the Arkansas man on the subject
but his wife was head to say, in con
versation on the subject, that she hao
copy Of Watchers plans posted il
her scrap book. These arc the facts
only recently announced for the frs
time.

AN ABLE SOUTHERN WRITER
Has Been Engaged to do the
Work. The Democrat will
Spread Itself.
Seven Thousand Five Hundred Copies
to be Sent Throughout Miller Coun-
ty Arkansas, Bowie County Tex
as and Other Counties.
Every Professional and Business Man
Should be Represented.

The DEMOCRAT, always to the front
IN enterprising journalism, will short
ly publish a complete epitome of Tex
arkana, Miller county, Arkansas and
Bowie county, Texas. 1t will be the
most complete epitome and largest
trade edition ever published in this
section. The business season is open
ing up-let us bring Texarkana to the
front. We are growing, why not let
the world know it? Few cities in
deed have so many public spirited
men as our own beautiful city and
counties. Let it be said that she
leads-never follows, and thus show
the outside world that she now oc-
cupies the top round of prosperity.
Texarkana and our counties are grow
ing and developing. Strangers have
come in, and many of our citizens are
none too we'll known to each other.
The DEMOCRAT would introduce
them, not only one to the other, but
to the world. To place our citizens
and our unsurpassed natural resour-
ces fairly before the country in an
attractive manner, we will issue a
GRAND SPECIAL TRADE EDITION OF
THE DEMOCRAT.
The extra edition will be issued in
a few weeks and will comprise 1900
copies A paper will be sent to every
voter in Texarkana and Miller and
Bowie counties. The residue will be
sent to the counties of Cass and
Marion, in Texas, and Little River
Howard, Lafayette and Hampstead, in
Arkansas.
This will give the issue over 10000
readers. The edition will be prepar-
ed in such style that viii attract at
tention and compiled in such man
ner that its columns will find eager
readers, who will be anxious to obtain
the information contained therein.
To be thoroughly complete, it should
contain brief mention of every coun-
ty and city official, each member Of
the bar and medical fraternity, and, in
fact, every professional and business
man in the city and counties.
1t will certainly afford a rare oppor-
tunity for our merchants to reach the
people.
Mr.. Hal Davis, the expert Southern
descriptive writer, whose reputation
has become National, has been secur-
ed to do the work. The many favor
able comments by the press of the
south and west upon his writings be-
speak their popularity. And we say
that his work for Texarkana will be
up to the standard. He thoroughly
understands the business and YOU can
rely upon any statements made by
him.
BY means of this Grand Special
Trade Edition we will accomplish a
good that could not be done in years
by any other method. Let all join
and help the work to ap excellent
end. 8AJLi
