Man and Lion Dead.

Fred Walton, stockman of Presidio county who arrived at San Antonio, Tex, recently, states that two sheep herders were passing along 8 mountain trail, when they came upon the man gled remains of Thomas Derton, well
 known ranchman of the county. There was trail of blood leading away from the body. and they followed it fora dis tance of 200 yards, when they came upon the dead body of large mountain lion. It was plain that the man and beast had had fight to the death. The lion was covered with knife wounds, and it was evident that the battle had been fierce one.-St Louis Globe Democrat.

Does Governor woodbary Sell Runq

An extraordinary state of affairs is disclosed ill Vermont in relation to the prohibitory liquor law. One of the most respected and prominent citizens of St. Johnsbury, MT. Howe, an owner of 8 hotel there, was recently convicted of selling rum, or of being the proprietor of place where rum was sold, and sen fenced to term in jail, where he now is.
 Naturally the imprisonment of such & man for such crime brought out & petition for his pardon, which was duly presented to the governor and by him refused. Thereupon the Rutland Herald called attention to the curious fact, as alleged, that Governor Woodbury him. self was the proprietor of hotel at Burlington wherein rum was sold. making the chief executive of the state guilty of the same crime for which Mir. Howe was suffering, and whose pardon he refused to grant. Springfield Re- publican.

VOTING BY ELECTRICITY.
It Is Likely to Be Adopted In Both House
 and Senate at Washington.

If the system of call bells to summon pages in the house and senate at Wash ington is successful, it is quite likely that the voting of members of both bod ies may be done by electricity. The idea is to have buttons placed in each mem ber's desk, so that by the pressure of 8 finger he can indicate whether he favors, opposes or declines to vote on any meas ure. The registering board could be in full view of the house, and votes would be counted by the machine which regis ters them.
 This would do away with the tedious roll calls and save much time, but 1t would not be pleasing to those who de- sire to filibuster against any obnoxious measure The house and senate will finally come to some suon scheme, but not immediately. Cincinnati Commer- cial Gazette.

PINE BLUFF, ARK, AUG. 2s, 1895.
LARGEST DAILY CITY CIRCULATION.
4 NEEDED ENTERPRLSE.

The coming fall and winter will be one of unusual business activity. Larger crops have been raised in this country than for many years preceding. The drouths of the last few years had cut the crops to such an extent that all surplus produce has been consumed, and this years enormous crop will find ready mar ket at comparatively high prices. In this section, besides an unparal- leled yield and favorable prospects of high prices, crops have been di- versified to much greater extent. It is not probable that Pine Bluff will have to import much corn or other produce from outside the State this year, and the thousands of dollars that have heretofore been sent monthly to other States, will be distributed throughout this coun- ty and section. Besides this gain as a result of diversified crops, and the saving of buying produce for their own consumption, the farmers have lost nothing on cotton. While they have not raised as much, it will command a better price, and in the aggregate will amount to more than it did last year.
 With this healthy condition of the farming classes, merchants and busi- ness men can expect an enormous trade this fall.
 More money in the hands of the masses means greater consumption, and the quickened exchange, as re- suit, soon affects all departments of trade. We can expect, therefore, general prosperity and a greater field for our merchants for doing business.
 In this connection the GRAPHIC would suggest that steps be taken to secure excursion rates to this city one day in every week from all points within a radius of fifty miles. Similar enterprises have proven ol great advantage to other cities, and would prove so to Pine Bluff. By this means a great deal of trade would flow into the city that nov seeks other markets, and as the en- terprise would cost comparatively nothing, it would result in great profit to our mel chants. It would also benefit the railway companies by creating travel that otherwise would not be done, and both the Iron Mountain and Cotton Bell roads should willingly grant the re duction. A little work along the line is all that is necessary, and i our business men will look to theil interests, the excursions will be SC cured.

m MAKING A NEWSPAPER.
To Be One of the Features of Atlanta's
 Exposition.

To Be One of the Features of Atlanta's
 Exposition
 Perhaps the most attractive feature of the Cotton States and International exposition this fall will be the building devoted exclusively to the growth and progress of American journalism.
 Few people understand the making of 8 great newspaper. It is one of the mar vels of the nineteenth century how news can be collected from all parts of the world and during the interval of only a few hours be classified and put into cold type, ready for circulation before the day has fairly commenced.
 It is not little singular that build ing of this kind was not conceived in connection with the Worlds fair. As a matter of fact, the newspapers of the land have never been represented after the usual manner of exhibits at any fair or exposition ever held in this coun- try. It has been reserved for the Cotton States and International exposition to make this brilliant departure and eclipse all other industrial enterprises of the kind in making complete and compre- heusive exhibit of the greatest power of the age.
 The proposition has created much en- thusiasm among the directors and the public at large will be gratified to re- eeive this interesting bit of Information.
 Newspaper men are known as hustlers the world over. They never undertake to do thing without pushing 1t to sue cess. This is because of the vim and en- ergy that belong to them. Without these qualities newspaper would soon go to the wall. Having decided to put up building at the exposition the newspaper men intend to make it one of the most attractive features of the great international fair. Atlanta Con- stitution.
