Strange as it may seem, the elephant is

very particular in choosing their state ele-

 Now, it appears to LIS that the grand jury has strained q point to indict this helpless and defenseless woman who is endeayor- ing to make an honest living forher- self and afflicted husband. If the grand jury is really anxious to sup press gambling of all kinds in our midst, the eonservators of the law need not lack for material. Does the grand jury know that slot machines, jackpot machines and other kinds of gambling devices have been displayed and conducted in prominent places in this city, for which no indictment has been returned? Does the grand jury know that lotteries, drawings, rallies and other things of that sort almost innumerable, have been openly conducted in this city, and for which there have been no indict- ments3 Does the grand jury know that there are crap dens, faro banks, poker dens and hundreds of other gambling dens in this city, carried on in open violation of the law, and yet there is only an occasional indict- ment2 Indeed, it seems that our grand jury has strained at gnat while it is swallowing camels.

 We believe the members of the grand jury have been imposed upon, and when they become fully ac- quainted with all the circumstances in the case, that they will recall their indictment and allow this woman to proceed in an honorable way to earn livelihood unmolested.

DELEGATES ARRIVING
For the General Assembly of the K. of L..
 Which Convenes Tuesday.

NEW ORLEANS, LA, Nov. 10.-Many delegates to the General Assembly of the Knights of Labor, which will open on Tuesday, have already ar- rived in the city. Ii is the opinion of those present that the coming gath ering will be one of the most impor- tant in the history of the organiza- ton. A great deal of quiet work is being done among those already on the field by the adhcrents of both Powderly and Sovereign, and the fight for the office of Grand Master will undoubtedly be hot one. The movement for the election of Patrick Mcbride, the present secretary of the United Mine Workers Union, to the office of secretary ry-treasurer has gained many supporters, especially among the western delegates, where Mr. Mcbride is best known.

The First Printer.

When Fastus had printed, in i460, a number of copies of the Bible, he undertook to sell them in Paris, where printing was then unknown. As he sold his copies for 60 crowns, while the scribes demanded 300 for their manuscripts, he created uniyer- sal astonishment, but when he pro- dueed copies as fast as they wanted and lowered the price to 30 crowns, all Paris was in agitation. The uni formity of the copies greatly in- creased the wonder; information was given to the police against him as q magician, his lodgings being searched and great number Of copies being found, they were seized. The red ink with which they are embelished was supposed to be his blood, and it was seriously adiudged that he was in league with the devil, and, it is pre- stunned that if he had not fled he would have shared the fate of those whom superstitious judges in those days condemned for witchcraft- paragOuId Press

A GREAT INJUSTICE.
A Woman Trying to Make an Honest Liv-
 Ing Indicted by the Grand Jury,

A few days ago q small, uncovered fiatboat, occupied by two persons, a man and a woman, the man sick abed with the rheumatism and the woman at the oar, landed in front of our city. Shortly after landing, .his woman, whose name is Mrs. c. H. Wilson, and whose face was badly sunburned from theexposure incident to travelling in an uncovered boat on the water, applied to Mayor Bell for permission to run q fortune telling machine on the streets of the city. To the Mayor she told sad and pit ful story. She said that her husband had beeh confined to his bed for many months by rheumatism, and that the necessity of making living for her self and husband developed entirely upon her. She also exhibited evi- dences of having conducted her for tune-telling business in Fort Smith and other towns along the Arkansas river in this State.
 Mayor Bell expressed sympathy for the woman, but told her she would have to secure a license from the City Treasurer. Mrs. Wilson then applied to City Treasurer Westbrook, to whom she again related her story She was without money, and had no other means of making q living ex- cept by the small income of her for tune-telling device. Treasurer Vest brook, like any true man who had the impulse of humanity and man. hood throbbing in his breast, granted the woman license on credit, stand ing good for the payment of the same himself, and told the woman that she could pay the license on the installment plan along during the week asshe made the money.
 Mrs. Wilson then opened up her fortune-telling device at the corner of Main street and Second avenue. The device is a niekle-in-the-slot machine. By dropping a niekle in the slot a cup containing number of dice is turned, and by the side of the ma chine is a card with numbers. The number turned by the dice also cor responds with mum Der on the card, , which indicates your fortune. There is also another numbered card, which sets forth q list of presents, and the number turned by the dice also indi- cates your present as well as your fortune. This list of presents con- sists of lead pencils, cheap iewelry photograph albums and other trink- cts of alike questionable value.
 Mrs. Wilson opened up her slot ma chine at the place mentioned last Thursday. The first day her receipts were $l.30, $1.00 of which she applied toward the payment of her license and yesterday hor receipts were only s5 cents.
 Now, it happens that the grand jury is also in session. and some over jealous but misguided individual re- ported the woman to the grand jury, l by whom she was indicted yesterday. Latein the afternoon the unfortunate woman was arrested. She was taken ill tears before the sheriff, by whom, of course, as the law requires, she was made to give bond or in de fault of which compelled to go to jail. She explained that she had se- cured license from the city, and Mayor Bell was then notofied of her arrest, who went before the Sheriff and with Il number of friends, fur nished bond. Mayor Bell then ap- peared before the grand jury and ex- plained the circumstances, and aske

The NIinstrels.

The "S. k. O." sign was hung out long before the rise of the curtain last evening, and for the first time this season the seating capacity of the Opera-house was tested to it's utmost. The drawing-card was Al. G. Fields minstrels, and, judging from the numerous encores, the aud- fence was highly delighted.
 Al. Field is without exception the best negro-dialect comedian travel ing, aud he received the same cordial welcome last evening as he has here tofore in his numerous visits to our city. His funny sayings and jokes on the recent election did not fail to "bring down the house" and he wasn feeling well either
 The singing of Will Walling and Arthur Yule, tcnors, was the best heard here for some time, as was the bass solo of J. W. Wilson.
 The Alverez Family in their refined musical act, which has been seen here before, also came in for their share of applause.
 The Martinetti Bros. also scored hit in their triple-brother act, and proved themselves beyond doubt to be the best in their line eyer wit messed by 9 Pine Bluff audience.
 The burlesque of Aladdin was of a mediocre nature, and the au dience would have appreciated the perform anee mneh more had this part been dispensed with.
 While Fields minstrels gave splen- did performance last evening, and did all that could be expected, still, like circus, there is no material change since it's appearance last season, and better and more deserv- ing companies have played in our city tEis season to $40 and $50 houses.

chance of getting out of here soon?"
anxiously inquired the spokesman. I'VE
though that perhaps they might let US
out three or four at a time, and we want
ed to speak now SO that we would be
among the first dismissed. We are tired
of this whole Coxey business, and if we
can get out we will try to find something
to do. We can hunt for work better if
only few of us are let out at one time"
A JOURNAL reporter asked the men to-
day if they intended to try to find work
when they got out Only one man said
he intended to do so.
The reporter asked one of the men
why he and his companions did not es-
cape when they were in camp at Leav-
enworth. 1--WE would have done So" he re-
piled, "but Sanders told us to stand pat and
that nothing would be done with US. We
had no idea, whatever, that we would be
sent to Jail. l understand that Sander 10
is in Kansas City now and / suppose he
does not think of us here"
There was some doubt whether the
men would make affidavits that they
were unable to pay their fines, which
would secure their release at the expira-
ton of thirty days. Deputy United States
Marshal James Gray had the afidavits
for their signatures None of them
fused to sign and the affidavits are now
on file.
Jailer Burdge says that the men are
model prisoners and give no trouble.
They are never let outside the inner cage
but are locked in the upper apartment
where the colored prisoners were form
erly kept. Three men occupy each cell,
but the cells are not locked at night as
the other prisoners cells are.

HE WASN'T CRAZY.

"Hooky Jim" Released From the Charge
of Insanity Yesterday Afternoon.
"Hookey JIM Huston's voice was soft
and calm yesterday aud his answers care
full, while he was on trial for his sanity
in Probate Judge ElIiott's court. 1t is a
slang expression, but there IS none more
true, than that Jim is no fool if he does
have fits.
Jim's Topeka record has not been such
that it has inspired for him any surpris-
ing respect among the police, and they
have had much trouble with him in
the past that when he and his ever
ready hook suddenly appeared in TOpe-
ka last week and refused to be separated
except by the united efforts of five of
the bravest, Captain Gish concluded that
Jim's mental scope was not sufficient to
make him safe as a stray, and he had
better be locked up in the asylum So
he fled complaint to that effect.
The trial dew large crowd. DR.. W.
H. RICHTER was foreman of the jury and
the other mem Oers were @. +. Lille, T.
II. Gill, w. A Travis, w. E. Stickel and
E. Lundgreen. The first witness was
lot of questions which developed the
fact that Jim was 81 years of age, and
that his hand had been burned off alb out

me and tries to smash my nose, which
dey tells me is a heap sight fattah now
IAN it orter be, Ise gwine to smesh back,
an if l has my hook l ginerly gifts i'm"
Nobody ventured to deny this and the
examination continued.
DR.. Gibson was of the opinion that Jim
was not insane.
DIR. Eastman and Lindsay and Captain
Gish then testified in turn. They could
not say that Jim was exactly crazy but
all thought he was a dangerous charac-
ter and should be locked up.
Jim himself was the last witness ex-
amined and met all attempts to tangIe
him into a SENT lance of insanity with
ba ffiing serenity.
The jury took about three minutes to
declare Jim sane and he was released
under promise that he leave town.
Judge Elliott said the trial cost the
county $50 and didn't amount to any
thing.
