SPENCER O. FISHER. JAMES P. CLARK.
mayor of West Bay City in 1882 and
was reelected two years later The
Democrats then sent him to congress in
1885. He was renominated and re-
elected and remained in Washington
looking after the interests OF his district
two years longer.
John P. Clark, Arkansas Democrats
candidate for the governors chair, was
born in Mississippi 8e years ago and
removed to Arkansas In 1879. He chose
the law as his profession, and hard
work and natural talent have won for
him high place among the legal lumi-
naries of the state. In 1887 he was
elected to the legislature, and two years
later he secured seat in the senate, Of
which body he was made president. In
1892 he was elected attorney general Of
Arkansas, and his recent nomination
for governor was the unanimous act of
the Democratic party. His ambition Is
by no means gratified, for it is said that
he has both eyes ON the toga of United
States Senator James X. Jones. whose
term expires two years hence.

An early rising cycler came into town
the other day, carrying broad grin.
Funniest thing ever saw" he ex-
planned II turned suddenly around a
street corner at the south end The
only thing in sight was an ugly looking
bulldog. When he saw me and the
wheel, he just bumped himself down an
alley, looking back once or twice to
whimper, as if he thought he was going
to be killed I suppose some wheelman
had given the dog kick In the jaw
that took all the fight out Of him and
made him afraid of the bicycle forever.
It's an easy thing to do to cure snap

the treatment right along. Very few

Three Democratic standard bearers
recently nominated for governor in as

native Of the state to whose guberna-

meyer was born near Circleville, o., in
1847. He was educated i'll Indiana at
the Asbury university in Greencastle,
was admitted to the bar and hung out
the proverbial shingle at Vernon in
1870. III 1883 he removed to Topeka,
where he soon rose to the head of his
profession. His political faith has
changed as many times as his residence.
He was brought up Democrat, became
a Republican before he was old enough
to vote, followed the fortunes of Re-
publicanism until he located in Kansas
and then returned to the Democratic
fold. He is the leader of the antiprohi-
bitionists in Kansas and was member
of the legislature in 1884.
Spencer o. Fisher was born in Hills

A Peculiar A ,iatic Plant.

One of the most peculiar plants 1
ever saw" said a traveller, lis what Is
known as the Chinese pitcher plant.
1t derives its name on account of the
peculiar formation of the leaves, which
fern a sort of a receptacle like a
pitcher. During a six months stay in
the Flowery kingdom / saw these
singular plants often, and never ex-
amined one that did not find 1T con-
tanned about half a pint of water,
c,vered with a leaf which formed a
perfect lid to the pitcher. The closed
lid prevented the rain from falling in
to the pitcher, so the water found in
them must be the watery part OF the
sap exhaled from the PORES on the in
side. these plants are also common
In Ceylon, where they are called
monkey cups, as the monkeys fire.

awhile fills the pitcher again.

when Australians BECOME Men.

The most peculiar custom Of the
Australian aborigines," said man
who recently returned home after a
trip nearly around the world, is the
mutilation of teeth. The boy who
wants to be thought a man will often
break out one of his front teeth, thus
anticipating the ceremony which al
ways takes place when a young Aus
tralian Is acknowledged to have en-
tered manhood. The tooth is knocked
out with a great deal of brutality, the
pain being borne with the stoicism
which marks the cd inhabitants of the
antipodes in their daily life. One
seldom meets full-grown native Aus
,tralian with a complete set of teeth,
and the first impression is that they
are natural-born fighters, AMI that
each has lost tooth in some more or
less vicious conflict. The explanation
given, however, is the correct one, and
the practice prevails even among
civilized and Chris.iInized tribes"

THE BLACK PLAGUE.

Superstition.

It's Spread Directly Attributable to Native
Superstition.
The spread of the black plague in
China was due to "a great extent to the
superstition of the natives. In Hong
Kong it was by mere matter of acct
dent that the European authorities
learned Ct the disease, as the natives
ca "efu!ly corcea.ed tire spread OF the
contagion. Placards were brought to
Hong Kong from Canton, which reveal
the deadly SUSPECT IN OF all foreign
means of treatment. These placards
wa ned all people not to GO to Hong
Kong nor TO permit their wives
AMI children to go, because they
won d fall victims to the foreign
doctors, who were chopping up all
sick persons in order TO make medicine
out of their eyes and bones. No
amount OF explanation has yet SUI iced
TO cradle ite the deep-seated suspicion
that all foreign doctors are on the still
hunt for the eyes of dead Chinese.
The people cannot understand that
European medicine does not value cer-
tain parts OF a body for medicine, be-
cause their own phys clan, who are
mainly quacks, insist that by eating
certain parts of the bodies OF animals
one may secure the b st qualities of
those animals. They cling to this be-
lief, an therefore such absurd stories
as those Cf Chris. ian missionaries kill
in native children ID secure their ewes
fiLd ready credence.
In Hong Kong tn silly suspicion of
foreign CoctOrs led to thousands of un-
necessary deaths. When the physi-
clans began house-to-house inspe ction
for rat ents suffering from the plague
there was a tremendous clamor. fla
cards were posted not to permit the
foreign devils II enter their home', as
this search for patients was merely a
ruse. These warnings also declared
that IN any who were removed were not
suffering from the dread dis ase, but
had been selected as spec ally suit
alb o for furnishing medicines. In
the excited condition of the
publ, these p'acards and rumors
crea ed such an Outburst OF

to give up the house inspection for two

The carnage produced by the dis
charge of the forward gun caisson,
loaded with the death-dealing shrap-

was frightful. The houses in the

Grand and lakewood boulevards, were
riddled b. the pro 'ectiles of all
