AMERICAN EXPORTS.
A Profitable Market For American
Goods Said to Exist in France.

A method by which the honest
American producer and dealer can
catch few dollars of French money,
about which we have heard so much
during the recent debate in congress,
is suggested in communication just
received by the State department
from one of its Representatives in
France.
He says that "a large field awaits
American enterprise" in France in the
sale of such articles of food as are
easily prepared for immediate con-
sumption. The average citizen of
France, he says, works all day and is
not in a mood at either end of the
day for spending any considerable time
in the preparation of food. In manu-
featuring towns, says the author of this
statement, both the men and women
work all day long at some industry,
and cooked food is veritably pleasant
to them. He therefore recommends
to the producers and Gamers and
wholesale grocers of the United
States that they cultivate the Frence
trade for the sale Of groceries gener-
ally, and particularly of canned and
dried, otherwise partially prepared
lines of food. Up to this time Amer
ican growers have found much favor
in France simply because an effort has
not been made to introduce them
there, Large quantities Of American
products of this class have been sold
in France by English dealers, who
cunningly erase American prints and
stamp them with their own. Hams,
shoulders and bacon, called generally
Yorkshire, but which on close exami-
nation are found 10 bear evidence of
having come from Chicago are found
In the markets, and if French buyers
and consumers can be made to realize
the excellence Of American products
of this kind, he says very large and
profitable market will be found for
American products ofnearly all kinds.
In order to test this, Mr.. Griffin, the
author of this report. imported to
France from the United States GER
tain amount of canned fruits, vegeta-
bles and fish. They were taken to
the leading grocers in the leading
cities, who were even unwilling to
look at them, but when requested
simply to compare them with like
productions of other nations, did so
apparently under protest, hut after
wards frankly stated that "they found
them in every respect superior to
those which they had been accustom-
ed to purchasing" and when the
prices were shown them they declar-
ed their intention of importing their
supplies from the United States.

THE TRAIN ROBBERS.

BALD KNOB, Nov. 9.-The marshal
has just arrested suspicious charac-
ter and he may turn out to be one of
the train robbers. He is youg man
81 or % years old, five feet eight
inches in height, dark hair, smooth
face, and weighs 100 pounds; has
scar on left side of upper lip, pug
nose. He wears dark check pants,
dark coat, and his clothes are very
much worn. He wears a black,
broad-brimmed hat.
He came into Bald Knob enquiring
for forty-four Winchester cartridges.
On searching him he was found to
have a large scabbard for forty-four
gun, and large pruning knife; also
gold watch without chain. He claims
to be A. T. Castleman, from Bagwell,
Texas.
Another suspect is also reported
as captured at Arkansas City,
but there is not sufficient evidence of
guilt adduced as would fix, with any
degree of certainty, his participation
in the robbery.
Glen Wackerly, arrested day before
yesterday at Conway, was carried
down to Little Rock early yesterday
morning. He was in irons, and his
face was covered with bandages to
hide the wounds which he received
while resisting the capture. He was
taken north ON the 11:30 train yester-
day morning and lodged in Jail at
Batesville.

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.

A LITTLE CONSOLATION
Comes to the Democracy with the
Election Returns from Kentucky.

Comes to the Democracy with the
Election Returns from Kentucky.
The first election in Kentucky, un-
der the new constitution providing
Tor secret ballot, was held on Tues
day TO elect one-half of the Senate and
House of Representatives, for the
State at large, and different municipal
officers throughout the State. The
latest returns, as telegraphed from
Louisville, are as follows:
The election here progressed quiet
ly. The colored vote was little
"shy." Advices from the State at
large indicate that the usual Demo-
cratic majority in the legislatuse will
be slightly increased. In Western
Kentucky, where the Populists were
strongest last year, the Democrats
have made gains. The election pass
ed off quietly.
The only election of general interest
were members of the general assem-
bly,, which will vote for United States
Senator. Senator Lindsay was elect
ed last winter over Gov. Brown and
Congressman McCreary and Stone.
Lindsay then had 60 per cent of the
Democratic caucus votes. In the pri-
maries fully 80 per cent of the Demo-
cratic nominees for the senate and
house were pledged to Lindsay and
are all friendly to Senator Blackburn,
who will stand for reelection two
years later. The Kentucky legisla-
ture Will be Democratic on joint bal
lot by about four to one. The only
issues in this election were factional,
the dominant faction of the Demo-
Gratis being the Cleveland party as op-
poslte tozthe wing which supported
Mr.. Henry Watterson i'll his opposi-
ton to Cleveland's nomination. In
Louisville Tyler, Democrat, was re-
elected for mayor by about $500 ma
jority. The Democrats elect their en-
tire ticket. The election was one of
the quietest in the history of the city.

EDWIN aoULD's AssA1LANT.

Mongolia Andrews, the Kansas City
telegraph operator, who was arrested
in New York, on the charge of at
tempting to extort money from Ed
win Gould, has returned to his home
at Rosedale, Kan. He says he was
kept locked up in a foul smelling cell
five days and nights and then released
and told to leave town. According
to his story he did not threaten Gould
or make any demand upon him.
He says he intended to ask
Gould to either promote HIM in the
Western Union service or put him in
a position in some other corporation
in which he could earn money enough
to support his family, or give him a
pointer on the market which would
enable him to speculate successfully.
Andrews denies emphatically that
he had any intention to harm Gould,

granted to the parties the same land
by state patents, assuming that, as
Louisiana had gone out of the union,
it had taken the public lands within
the border with it. The state patents
were recorded, and at present are the
only title by which the lands are held.
A request is now made to the general
land Office for patents from the United
States in order that the title may be
secure in the parties now owning the
lands. This is the first case of the
kind ever before the land office.

INDIAN COMMISSION.

BY appointment Of President Cleve-
land, a commission, headed by ex-
Senator Dawes of Massachusetts, for
mer Chairman of the Senate commit
tee on Indian affairs, will, within a
few days, receive instructions from
the Indian department at Washing
ton and proceed to the Indian Terri
tory to talk statehood to the five civil
lized tribes. 1t is anticipated by those
who are well acquainted with the
conditions existing there that the
commission will not be able to at once
convince the Indians that they will be
better off if they are granted the right
to statehood than they are now. The
Indians, 1t is claimed, are very well
satisfied with the present conditions,
and are not seeking any change which
might materially interfere with their
rights. They are also strongly op-
posed to being made part of Okla
homa and being admitted with that
ambitious territory. Mr. Dawes and
his fellow commissioners may be able
to convince them that statehood will
be to their advantage, but those who
know them best think they will not
be ready to give up present conditions
even to try an experiment. Hon. A.
S. McKenon, of Clarksville, Ark, is on
this commission.

AT WASHINGTON.
Tobacco Men Appear Before The
Ways and Means Committee.


Ways and Means Committee.
WASHINGTON, November 9..-The
committee appointed by the Conven-
ton of Tobacco Manufacturers of the
United States to appear before the
Ways and Means Committee aud pro-
test against any increase in the tax on
manufactured tobacco, was accorded
hearing this afternoon by Chairman
McMillin, of the Subcommittee on
Internal Revenue, and Mr.. Spence, of
Cincinnati, acted as spokesman. He
said they represented eighty of the
most prominent tobacco manufacture
ers Of the country, and had been unan-
imously instructed at meeting of
these manufacturers to state that any
increase on the tax on manufactured
tobacco would be inimicablc to the
interest of both manufacturer and
growers OF tobacco by reason OF the
lessening of the consumption The
committee recommended that, If any
legislation whatever be enacted affect
ing the tobacco interests, i. be re-
peal of the law Of 1890, which permits
the sale of leaf tobacco to the consul
mer without the payment Of taxes.
They argue that the repeal Of this
law would largely increase the Gov
ernments revenues on tobacco. Mr..
McMillin gave no intimation Of the in
tentions of the Committee on Ways
and Means with reference to the to-
bacco schedule, but it has been fre-
quently rumored that the majority Of
the committee favors an increase Of
the tobacco tax as a means of sup
plying the necessary revenues Of the
Government The correctness Of
these rumors are doubted by the to-
bacco men.
