spite their defeat and capture OF a
quarter of their number yesterday
at Odin about fifty Du Quoin min
ers crept stealthily on the Contra
liza mines before dawn today and
fired a tremendous fusilade on the

The guards returned the fire with
their Winchesters and the miners
took to their heels.
So far known none were hurt.
Troops have arrived at the mine
and the town is under military
rule. News from DuQuoine say

any mob. 1t is not known whether

cuted for damage done at Centralia
or for stealing the Illinois central
train, or both. Anton Anderson,

The Perfume of Flowers.

Boston Transcript.
1t takes half a lifetime to learn
how to do anything perfectly. Few
know how to inhale the perfume OF
a flower. The idea should be to
capture "the fine fugitive first of
all" aroma by the slightest and
most delicate possible inhalation.
II you try to jam your nose down
into the flower you lose the essen
tial altar and get a rank smell Of
petal or leaves, very different
thing from the fragrance secreted
by the glands at the base Of the
stamens and pistils.

All Quiet Today,

UNIONTOwN, Pa, May 25.-The
Washington iron plant, where
the bloody battle occurred yester-
day, is as quiet today as if nothing
had happened. The strikers have
not been near the plant since the
trouble, and have not even had a
meeting. The tramp Of deputies
about the yards is the only sign of
life, the plant being shut down
tight. The workmen did not re-
turn to work.

Trying to Deceive a Scientist

Trying to Deceive a Scientist.
London Figaro.
A novel story OF the late Sir
Richard Owen is just going the
rounds. A snake-charmer at Cairo,
reckoning without his host, APP
peared before Sir Richard to go
through deadly performance
with cerastes-the horned asp.
The reptile was placed on the
ground. Owen looked at it a
moment, then stepped forward and
picked it up. Before the luckless
performer could interpose the
savant plucked from its head its
projecting horns, which on closer
inspection, proved to be fish-bOnes.
The fakir was somewhat discon-
certed at the rapid unwilling Of an
actually harmless animal, and the
entertainment was withdrawn.

A Demand for Teachers.

1t is seldom nowadays that the
demand for workers exceeds the
supply, but that is said to be the
case among the teachers of the
public schools in Providence, r. l.,
at present. H. S. Tarbell, superin-
tendent Of public schools there, in
a recent address before the young
women who are soon to be gradu-
ated from the high school, urged
his hearers to become teachers.
Every high school graduate was
wanted, he said, and more besides;
fifty new teachers were needed each
year, and the school committee,
according to the present outlook,
would have to hunt for candidates
instead of waiting for applications.
The young women who are edu-
Gated in Providence are given the
preference. Those from outside
have to pass special examinations.

STATE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM
Adopted by the Democratic State Con-
vention at Little Rock, Ark,
June 2S. 1894.

The Democratic party OF ATkan-
sas in convention assembled hereby
re-affirms its faith in and allegiance
to the time honored principles OF
the national Democratic party as
expressed IN its platforms and rati-
fed in its legislation throughout
the history of the government. In
addition thereto it makes the fol
lowing specific declarations:
We insist upon 4 strict compii-
ance with the repeated declara-
tions Of the party in favor Of tar
Z iT for revenue only, to the end that
the protection favored by the Re
publican party and crystalized in
the infamous determinations of the
Mckinley bill, shall be anuulied and
fair competition in the markets
Of the world shall be opened to the
producers Of all classes in the Uni
ted States, and fair exchange for
our surplus products thereby secur-
ed.
To the end that taxation may be
distributed on an equitable basis
and accumulated property pay its
fair share Of the expenses of the
government, which have for so long
4 time been borne by the consump-
tion Of the people. We favor an
income tax.
We stin consider the act Of 1873.
whereby silver was demonetized, as
the greatest legislative crime Of the
century. and demand the free and
unlimited coinage of both silver
and gold at a ratio Of sixteen TO
one rs Il then existed.
We believe the constitutional
power TO borrow money should be
exercised by Congress only in the
event Of great emergencies when
the power 10 levy and collect taxes
commensurate with the require
ments Of the occasion cannot be en-
forced without manifest oppression
Of the people Therefore We are
opposed to the ssue Of bonds in
time of peace.
We congratulate the Democratic
party and the people upon the re-

law.
We favor the continued maintain
ance Of our free public schools in
the interest Of general intelligence
and public information.
Believing that home rule and To-
cal self Government are cardinal
principles in q Republican govern
ment. we therefore endorse and ap-
prove the action Of the legislature
Of Arkansas in enacting laws rele-
eating 10 the people the right Of
settling the liquor question for
themselves IN accordance with the
wishes and sentiments Of the conn
trv affected
We congratulate the people upon
the faithful and economical admin
istrati0n Of her state government
under Democratic ruie, and invoke
the cooperation of all good citizens
in the perpetuation of so desirable
a condition of affairs.
