Failed 70 Connect.

News comes from Arkansas City Of
4 futile attempt to rob q passen-
ger train on the Santa Fe railway near
that city. As the train going north
pulled out Of the little station Of Or
lando, on the southern boundary OF
the Cherokee strip, on Wednesday
evening Q man on a horse started out
behind the train. When the train
got away from town and entered the
strip it struck heavy up grade and
ran slowly enough for the horseman
to keep up with it. When The man
caught up with the express car he
tried to get In the door from the back
Of his horse. The messenger, realiz-
Ing that an attempt was being made
to rob tho car in q novel manner,
opened Gre on HIM. The ground on
which the man was riding was very
rough, sHd tho horse, after stumbling
several times, fell, throwing the man
overhead. The tram at this time had
reached the top of the grade, and as

AHKANsAs nxHIBIT BUILDING

A recent writer, whS describes in q
charming manner the scenes and Incl.
dents of the great WSrld'I Fair, has
this to say of the State Exhibit build
ing Of ArkansaI:
The unique State building of Ark
anSAs attracts more attention ovory
day, sometimes the attendance of
sight-seeS being so great as to deprive
the curious OF pleasure of inspecting
carefully the many objects of interest
there abouAding. And the universal
sentiment 10 that the Arkansas build
ing is one Of the attractions of tho
great Fair that repays & special visit.
1t seems passing strange that to the
energy and patriotism of the noble
women Of Arkansas is due the credit
of this grand State being represented
at the Fair by any building, let alone
such very attractive one, which was
designed BY Mrs. Frank Douglas, nee
Mis LoughborOuSh, of Little Rock, q
beautiful and highly accomplished Ia
dy.
The visitors to the Arkansas build
ing are made to feel perfectly at home
by the kind and courteous treatment
of Miss Fannie Scott the lady man
asor, and Mr.. II. II. Adair, the gen.
eral manager.
1t 10 not uHuSual to hear persons
leaving the Arkansas building say:
"What a charming person Miss Scott
Is, and isn't it delightful retreat over
which she go Hospitality prcsides,"
and other such deserved encomiums.

THE FIaRT PROGRESSES.
The Silver nESn Have the Best Of the
Day In the Senate.

The events Of yesterday in the Sen.
ate gave no indications OF the near ap-
prOAch Of 3 vote on the repeal bill.
The course taken by silver men in
having frequent calls Of the Senate,
thus compelling the attendance of Sen
atsrS, has apparently weakened the
repesl forces, On both roll calls to-
day, Senator German, who is COM
monty given the credit of the leader.
ship OF the. hosts Of repeal, was alb
sent, as was Senator Villas, of Wiscon-
sin, Oae Of the main stays Of the ad-
miniStTatlOn In the Senate. Notwith-
standing the fact that the roll was
twice called, at no time during Mr..
Stewards speech Was a quorum pres
ent beyond tho brief time whom Soma
tors emerged from cloak rooms and
left their committee rooms to have
their presence recorded. BY these
roll calls the silver Rdherants have
shown that many of the strongest re-
peal meA are not constant in their at
tendance upSn the Senate during the
present session and it win be pointed
out that propositions for longer Ses-
sions of the Senate would meet with
bad grace from their ranks.

a petition OF business men of town
in Colorado for tho repeal of the Nc
Kinlsy act and the submissien later

THE BREcKINRIDGE SUIT.

1t is now reported that Senator
Blackburn has become reconciled to
Representive W. c. p. Breckinridgs
and will be ono Of his counsel in the
breach Of promise suit instituted by
Miss Pollard, who claims to be tho
mother of Breckinridge's children.
The charge 10 doubtless owing to the
influence Of Phil Thompson, who is
Breckinridse's lawyer and Blackburn's
most intimate friend. The report
that Blackburn declared his purpose
to hold Breckinridge responsible for
placing Miss Pollard under the chap
eronage Of Mrs. Luke Blackburn
seems to be through reliable source.
1t is quito cortaiR that Mrs. Black
burn 10 as Indignant as ever. She is
alady Of strong character and resolutc
in purpose. II 10 believed, however,
that the case will never be tried. The
strongest influence in the State, it ap-

FEDERAL ELECTION LAWS
To Command the Prompt Attention
Of Congress after Silver.

OF VonBrees AIVor bllVor'
According to latest legislative pre-
dictions from Washington it is gener-
ally an accepted fact that, as soon as
the House has adopted its rules, the
Democratic members will begin their
long promised attack on the Federal
election law, and when the bill for the
repeal has passed the House 1t will in
ell probability be pushed to as prompt
passage in the Senate as the Republ-
cans will permit. 1t is stated that
Cleveland has given assurances that
he will promptly sign such bill when
it comes to him. Even in the midst
of the silver debate Mr.. Talbot, of
Maryland, asked the unanimous con-
sent to introduce the bill. 1t was, Of
course refused, and he may yet intro
duce the bill. Mr.. Fitch, of New
York, will probably introduce a SINH
lar bill as soon as the rules have been
disposed Of.
Mr.. Springer, Of Illinois, will intro
duce duplicate of the bill presented
by Senator Hill in the Senate. 1t is
not improbable that there will be
a score or more of bills more or
less verbose, all having for their pur-
pose the abolition of the entire FEEDER
al supervision of Federal elections.
Democratic Senators have already be-
gun to prepare speeches upon this
subject. The Republicans will use
every means in their power to frus-
trate the plans of their Democratic OPP
ponents in this measure, and it is a
foregone conclusion that the general
debate on the subject will prove as
lively as anything that may engage
the House during this session.
In the Senate the fight for the re-
peal Of the Federal election laws has
already progressed SO far that Senator
Hills bill has been reported back
to the Senate and stands well up in
the calendar. There are three such
bills before that body. On the second
day of the extra session Mr.. Bate, of
Tennessee, introduced bill for the
abolition of Federal supervision of
elections, which was properly referred
to the committee on privileges and
elections. On the same day Mr.. Hun
ton of Virginia, introduced bill
which was precisely similar in its
wording to the Bate bill, but for some
reason Mr.. Hunton added as the third
clause to his bill to repeal all statutes
relating to the supervision of clec-
tions, bill to repeal the purchase
clause of the Sherman act. Mr. Hun
ton has never given any explanation
why he introduced this combination
in the Senate. Mr.. Hill's bill con-
tains less than forty words. At his
request the bill was referred to the
committee on Judiciary, and few
days lSter it was reported back to the
Senate with q favorable recommends
ton, so that whatever credit there
may ever attach to the parentage of
such a bill will be Mr.. HiIps.

BUSINESS BLOCKADE OVER.

The question of "time money" Ia
one of paramount interest, just now,
to bankers, spectators and business
men generally, and there is decided
variety Of opinion ON this important
subject. The views of a well known
Eastern financier, and extensive OPP
orator on the New York market, will
therefore not be without interest to
the reading public. In recent inter-
view, on the subject of ready money,
this gentleman gave the following
summary Of the monetary situation, as
it now stands:
"Time moneyis undoubtedly now
in sight and call money promises to
be easy; is in fact fairly easy now. OF
course money will not be a drug In
the market until the clearinghouse
certificates are retired, but time when
their retirement will be bcgur is evil
IDENTIFY not very far distant. Many
things are combining now to make
money plentiful simultaneously with
the repeal Of the Sherman law. The
country banks are much better pre-
pared than usual to provide money
for the moving Of the crops, to say
nothing Of the erpedionts that have
been resortod TO, such as certified
checks, clearinghouse certificates, etc
to exc out money supply. Conse-
quently demand on the banks of the
country for money to move the crops
is likely to be much lighter than usual
That is shown by the fact that the
banks report this week very slight
demand for rediscounts. Then, too,
the banks in Now England and the
Middle states are finding that they
have no use for the large supplies Of
cash on hand and are firing of keep
ing so much money lying idle. UE-
der the law they are permitted to
keep part Of their reserve on deposit
with approved agents in reserve, and
they are taking advantage Of that
provision again TO send money TO other
cities and receive interest on it. The

savings banks are also finding that
they have more money on hand than
they are likely to need, and much Of
that will quickly find its way back to
the banks. Exchange between New
York and the leading cities is becom.
ing nsrmal again and the business
blockade therefore practically over, 90
every indication points to money be-
ing very plentiful throughout the
country In a short time. The banks
have practically all got the legal re.
serve and as their deposits increase
no doubt the loan certificates will be
retired.

Made Miserable for Lite.

This you may easily be If you fail
to remedy the indigestion and non-as-
similation Of the food, which are the
attendants and originators of nervous
ness, that ever present silment which
no narcotic, mineral, sedative or ner-
viRe can ever do more than thempora-
rily relieve. or course these remedies
have no effect upon the organs of di-
gestion and assimilation, except to
disorder and snfceble them, thus ag-
grsvating the original difficulty.
Among the most alarming and dan
gerous symptoms Of chronic nervous
ness 10 insomnia, which is the profes.
sional term for inability to sleep.
Whore this exists there is always q
tendency to mental overthrow, paresis
and eventual insanity. Begin at the
fountain head OF all this difficulty with
Hosteitsr's Stomach Bitters and avert
evil consequences. No sooner does
tho stomach resume its tone, and the
system gain in yigor through the aid
Of THE benign tonic, than sleep re-
turns and the nerves grow tranquil.
