An Auction of Whisky Probable

An Auction of Whisky Probable
Special to the News.
LOUISVILLE, Aug. IA There are
over a million and half gallons of
whisky stored away in warehouses
of this state, and in the Louisville
district alone there are in the neigh.
borhood of half million gallons,
and upon every drop Of this enorm.
GUS amount the internal revenue tax
must be paid before the close Of
business hours today or the entire
lot will be subject to auction sale
by the government. In case the
spirits do not sell under the hammer
at an amount sufficient to defray
the tax ninety cents per gallon
the fluid must be emptied, in other
words thrown away. Secretary
Carlisle's action in enforcing the
collections almost a month earlier
than usual is severely criticised, but
those who claim to have the inside
facts explain the secretary's haste in
this way. They say that the early
date was fixed with the idea of
granting postponement if any diff
Guilty was caused in the way of
raising the necessary funds. Col.
I. I'll. Sherley, prominen. distil-
Ter, went to Washington some
weeks ago, and wired back to his
business partner that Carlisle had
promised an extension, and this in
formation was widely circulated
much to the annoyance, it is said
of Secretary Carlisle, who, what
ever his intentions in the matter
may have been, did not desire tc
have them published. AS a result,
of this episode today was made the
final day for collections, and loca
distillers have little hope of any
leniency being extended them il
case they leave their goods in bond
after today. As natural result
there is wild scramble for money
aud az few of the banks are in 8
position to give any extended liner
Of credit it now looks as though
Uncle Sam would become possessed
of a goodly stock of old Bourbon
within a few hours, which he vii
either sell or destroy according t,
the market price.

THE RIGHT MAN CAUGHT.

1t is claimed that the slayer of John
NJ. Clayton, whose death at Plummer
vile, Ark, in January, 1889, will be
remembered, has at last been discoy'
cred, and the man who stands accused
of the assassination is now under ar
rest, in jail at Butte, Mont. 1t il
thought that Gov. Fishback will send
an officer armed with the requisition
for the return of the accused. The
name of the alleged criminal is Frank
Hickey. The killing of Clayton has
been used by the Republicans all over
the country as an alleged evidence of
the political methods in the South, as
cribing the crime to political motive,
they have used it to defame the South
and mslign the Southern people. Now
should the real assassin be the means
of disproving these slanderous reports,
his capture may be regarded as a
blessing to the State and her people.

The Die Cast.

Judge j. j. Du Bose, the once IA
nous Jurist, now stands impeached
before the lower house of the Tennes-
see Legislature. The committee APP
pointed by that body to investigate
tue charges against Judge Du Bose
returned into the House the following
report:
ave find that the charges and arti-
cles contained in exhibit A to said
House resolution No. So have been
sustained, and thereupon find that a
prima facie case for the impeachment
of Hon. Julious j.. DuBose, judge Of
the Criminal Court of Shelby county,
has been established. Whereupon the
roll was called and the resolution
adopted by vote of 50 to 5. The
entire matter will now be carried be-
fore the Senate for final trial. I'M
mediately upon the adjournment Of
the present session, court composed
of members of that body will proceed
to pass in final judgement upon
the facts of this case as adduced be-
fore them by the testimony of wit
nesses, and their verdict will either
restore to the accused judge that
which is dearer to every honorable
man than life itself, his good name, or
else forever brand him as an outcast
among men, made infamous by his
abuse of a high public trust and the
betrayal of political and private faith.

The "Lilyv in Luck,

Speculation is rife among the friends
of Mrs. Langtry, on this side of the
waters, as to the amount Of money
she will inherit from Abingdon's
estate. The Baird's property will
amount up into the millions and 1t
will be queer indeed if the fair Lang
try does not contrive to get her
shapely hands on a liberal portion
thereof, if for no other reason than as
a recompence for her beautiful toilet
ornaments he formerly took so much
delight in smashing.
In answer to the summons she
raced back to London from her Med
iterranean yachting tour with the ut
most speed, but, excepting ito the
lawyers, she has been at homo to no
body since. Her big costly mansion
in Post street, is believed to be in her
own name, though Abingdon's right
to smash the furniture used to be rec
ognized. She used to have good
deal of other property, but her annual
expenditure of $4,000, and the
rapacity of the gang about her, swept
this away and put her in debt instead.
It is possible, therefore, that Abing-
don's death may bring to collapse
the most remarkable and luxuriant OF
modern careers.

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
alive; 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,

ANGLOMANIA.

AS widespread and infectious
mental ailment, the desire on the part
of several Americans, especially of the
monied class in the northern and east
ern states, to ape their British cousins
would be alarming, were it not so alb
surdly ridiculous. For years this dis
ease of toadyism has grown in extent
and increased I'M strength until so
deeply rooted has the malady become
it seems well nigh impossible to Grad
icate it. Indeed, so long as it only ex-
tended TO the fairer sex, resulting in
the loss of small number of Uncle
Sans charming daughters, we could
easily bear with it, as there were an
abundance of those fair creatures yet
left to us. Even the change of citizen
ship on the part of score or more OF
our dudishly inclined brethren of the
North had no terrors for us. But
now this is all changed, and we have
to face a condition at once serious and
threatening. We have long since re-
conciled ourselves to the loss Of Will
lam Waldorf Aston as an American
citizen, his desire to be an English
subject being well known. But when
the news comes to us that the afore-
said w. W. A. intends transferring
his millions Of honest American dol
lars, "the dollars of our dads" for the
ninlsy "shin plasters" of Great Britain,
change comes over the spirit of our
dreams and we are brought face to
face, not with a jest, but with reality,
The story is thus briefly told: "Will-
lam Waldorf Astor is transferring as
rapidly as possible all classes of invest
ments from New York to London
and is going to become an English
subject" TO which we cry aloud
Take VIM. Waldorf Aston, but give tl'
back the dollars Of our dads.

Travelling Town Libraries.

A scheme which has much to rec
ommend it is being urged upon the
people Of Minnesota. 1t is termed a
"traveling library" and is designed
to meet the literary wants of towns
and villages that cannot support Ii
brary of their own. The plan is for
each town in given circuit to con-
tribute toward the general library
quota of, say, $3.50 worth of books,
the library to pass in rotation among
the towns in the circuit, stopping
from three to six months in a place.
The system, which is said to have
been tried in other states, is ingen-
ious and useful.
As this plan has been tried with at
tendant success in other states we do
not see why Arkansas and Texas may
not adopt the idea. A circuit having
been formed, the library would travel
around same endlessly, as though de-
scribing a circle. Thus giving to
each town or city the renewed pleas
ure of its possession. There being SO
many excellent features to recommend
this plan we propose that meeting
be called in this city to take the nee
essary steps for its organization, eth
er in Southwest Arkansas or in North
Texas and South Arkansas combined
