GEN. GEORGE p. TAYLOR
Appointed Brigadier Gene rs of the Troops
 of Arkuusns

appointed Brigadier Gener rsl of the Troops
 of Arkansns
 About two weeks ago Hon. George r. Taylor was summoned to Little Rock and the position of brigadier general of the Arkansas State troops rendered him by Governor Fishback. He was strongly urged by friends and officers of the staff and troops to accept the command, but declined, pleading mul- hilarious business engagements, and also the fact that he was not by nature or training military man. There was somewhat of squabble over the office, which 1t was deemed Mir TaylOr's appointment would allay. The com plicGtions led to the resignations of Colonels Hollenberg and DIngan, who were dissatisfied with the governor $ selection after Mir. Taylor had declined the appointment. Telegrams and let ters galore passed between Mir. Taylor and parties In Little Rock, and yester- day the appointment was reluctantly accepted. MT. Taylor's declination was not because of his misrepresentation of the great honor rendered, but simply because of his business, which requires his undivided attention.
 On behalf of the people of this sec tion, who know his worth and appre- ciate the honor which has been confer. red upon them through him. we con- gratulate General Taylor, the governor and the state troops of Arkansas upon his appointment.

 splendid Banquet.

splendid Banquet.
 If Forrest City has one institution of which it should feel little prouder chan another, that institution is Apollo C0mmandery of Knights Templar. 1t is prominent, not alone from the high standing of the gentlemen who com- pose it's membership, but from the pride they take in tEeir noble order and ethe pride with which it isEiewed by the community at large. together with the high moral worth and mental status which must, cf necessity, be attributes of every true Sir Knight. During the past six months there have been added to the roll of Apollo Commandery thirteen members, anC the lodge is in a most fiourlshiug condition.
 On Thursday night of last week, the 28lh ult., an election and installation 0f officers was held as follows:

 After the installation ceremonies the members and visitors repaired to the Forrest City house, where there was spread for their delectation one of the most splendid banquets ever enjoyed in Forrest City upon any occasion.
 There were twenty-four visitors from a distance. they coming from Memphis Mariauna, Cotton Plant, Wynne, Iittle Rock and other points.

DUCK HUNTING IN MEXI-
co.
Austin Statesman.

Austin Statesman.
Conductor Penn of the Austin
and Northwestern comes up with
another duck story. lie says that
down in Mexico they throw gourds
40 big as mans head out in the
waters of the lake and then the
hunter. puts another gourds over
his head, cutting eyes and nose in
the gourd. He wades into the wa
ter up to his neck, leaving only
the g9urd containing his head
above the water. He walks from
place to place in the lake, meets a
duck quietly floating, reaches up
under it with his hand, pulls it
under the water, browns it and
then puts it in a bag suspended
around his waist. He repeats this
operation until he has drowned all
the ducks he wants, then returns
to shore without disturbing the
other duck and without having
bruised single duck he has killed.
Captain Penn was telling this
yarn to passenger the other day
on his regular run when a man sit
ting across the aisle stopped read
ing few minutes, listened to the
story, SAID THAT'S true, too" and
then quietly resumed his reading.
It proved too much for Captain
Penn, however. EIe can't spin that
yarn any more.

MRS. LEASE ON TOP.
She Wins Her Case and Says She
Will Hold Her Office.

Topeka, Kan, Feb. s.-Mrs;
Mary E. Lease today won her
case in the supreme court, which
decides that the governor cannot
remove her as a member of the
state board OF charities, Of which
board she remains president.
The court was unanimous, the
populist members coi1curring with
the republicans. The court holds
that Governor Lewelling had no
authority to appoint successor to
Mrs. Lease who was appointed
for term of year and confirmed
by the senate, unless charges are
preferred and sustained, and that
j. W. Freeborn, who has been
sitting with the hoard for several
weeks, is usurper.
A reporter saw Mrs: Lease just
after the decision was made. She
said: Il had intended to resign
my place on the board as soon as
the decision was handed down in
10y favor, as the salary connected
with it is mere pittance, bat I
have changed my mind and [ pro-
pose to hold my place at all haz-
yards. My reasons for this are
simply these: l am informed that
it is the plan of the administration
to bring charges against me for
bribery in the letting Of contracts
fer supplies in the state iEstitu-
tions. All such charges are false
and [ propose to make them prove
any charges they may prefer OF
hold their peace"

THE LOTTERY CASES.

New Orleansj La, February s
New Orleans has laws prohibit
ing lotteries-the State law and
the city ordinance. When lottery
drawings were held after January
1, charges of violating both laws
were made against the vendors.
Today there was final hearing
in the test case of violation of the
city ordinance.
Recorder Adams, who has held
"a long consultation with the city
attorney on the matter, decided
that lottery vendors could not be
prosecuted tor violation of the city
ordinance, and all cases based OF
that ordinance were ordered dis
missed. The reason given by the
recorder was that the passage of a
statute By the last legislature made
lotteries unlawful and their Con
duct a felony, thus throwing Iuris-
diction in the State courts and
taking it out OF the police justices
courts. None of the Gases Where
the lottery men were charged with
violation of the State law Rave Yet
