this court to attach the law-and these
three had ample opportunity to get
their full rights without the aid of the
Federal Court. He asked that the
Court dismiss both bills, for want of
jurisdiction.
At the close of the Attorney Gen
erals argument, Judge Gof, in an
swer to question from that gentle,
man, stated that the hearing of the
dispensary case would commence i'm
mediately on the conclusion of those
on which the court was now engaged.
The court then adjourned till FRI
day morning.
Yesterday morning the hearing OF
the case was resumed. The number
of spectators was somewhat smaller
than on Thursday; but the courtroom
was quite full.
Mr.. c.. \. Douglass spoke in behalf
of the complainants in the case against
the Richland Supervisor of Reglstra-
ton. His argument was very full,
covering all the points of his case. Mr..
Douglass spoke more than four hours
and he cited numerous authorities in
support of his main proposltion-that
the present election law of South Car
olina is unconstitutional and therefore
null and void. He made a most
searching analysis of the law, laying
particular stress on those provisions OF
it which. as he insisted, presented OBJ
stacles to the registration of the voter,
and were therefore an invasion OF the
right to vote His line of argument
was that any law which puts obstacles
in the way of a voters exercise OF the
right of suffrage is an invasion of the
rights of citizenship guaranteed by
the fourteenth amendment to the Con,
stitution of the United States. These
are but the general points made by. Mr..
Douglass. He handled each very fully,
and, as before stated, cited numerous

A brainless frog was one Of the
features OF interest at the second and
last days session of the association of
American anatomists. held at the col
lege OF physicians and surgeons, says
the New York Sun. IL was exhibited
by DIR. Burt c. Wilder, of Cornell uni
versity, and it was brought upon the
scene after DR.. Wilder had read his
paper on ''Some Anomalies of the
Brain" which followed a discussion
on 1.-THE Significance Of Anomalies"
opened by DR.. Thomas Dwight, Of the
Harvard medical school. Dir. Wilder
said that a recent mishap he had met
with had set him to thinking OF the
origin Of man.

couldn't help asking myself why, in

n conclusion. ] don't say we have
ape ancestry, but il seems to me not
unlikely that our ankles are weak be-
cause our ancestors lived in trees,
and didn't use their ankles to the ex-
tent we do"
Then DR.. Wilder brought out his
brainlcss frog. 1t was a good-sizcd.
lusty-looking batrachian, and it was
in a bottle. DIR. Wilder handled the
bottle gingcrly while he explained
that he had taken the frogs brains
out on December Z, the frog being
under the influence Of ether. He then
tilted the bottle and rolled the frog
out on II table. All the men of science
gathered around and examined the
scar behind the frogs left ear, where
the brain had been taken out.
The frog, meanwhile, had got into
a squat. and gazed stupidity straight
before him. He was m~otionless, and
when DR.. Wilder passed his hand
quickly before his Dubious eyes, the
frog didn't eve blink.
That shows" said DR.. Wilder,
with a little pride, that froggic has
enough brains left TO realize the i'm

When the doctor touched the frogs
back. however. he wrigglcd and made
u movement a. If he'd like to get
away, only he hadn't enough mercy
to do SO. Then DIR. Wilder brought
out a wicker cylinder, and when the
frog was placed on top Of it he knew
enough to keep from sliding Off, or
to keep it from slipping from under
him.

The frog, having shown himself off
in this trick, was put in u glass basin

The reader will carefully note that
Bigelow's cool and warm waves follow
each other from west to east, and to
disp'ovc that they repeat in periods of
about twenty.seven days Hazen takes
the average temperature of the whole
United States for nine of these per-
iOds.
Any school boy would at once see
the fallacy Of llazen's method. OF
course the warm and cool waves are
always on the continent IN about equal
numbers and of about equal extent,
balancing each other, and therefore to
take the average of all the stations in
the United States would bring no re-
suit, because the weather events do
not occur in all parts Of the country
at the same timo.
The only fair test would be to take
the temperatures of all the stations
along the line which ought to be
reached By Bigclow's weather events
on the first day of his period, and
then the temperatures for the day fol-
lowing of the stations that should be
reached on the second day Of the per-
iod, and so on through the entire per.
led.
New O.leans, Cincinnati and Buff
falo are supposed to be reached on
the third day of B~igelow's period
and therefore the temperatures of
these places should be used for the
third days only-twenty seven days
apart. But Hazen's method is to take
the temperatures of all stations IN the
United States to prove that Bigelow's
weather events do not reach these
three cities every twcnty-seventh day.
Besides a diagram containing the
curves of every day for nine of these
twcnty.scven day periods, Hazen says:
"lf, out Of one hundred stations, fifty
show plus three degrees and fit,
minus three degrees on any one day
OF a period everyone will admit Il,
once that there would be no uniform
heating or cooling indicated ON that
day."
The above quotation shows that |

who does not know that while a cold
wave is in Iowa u warm wave may be
in the Ohio valley, and if we take a
hundred stations as suggested by Haz,
en-, Of course they will balance each
other and bring no result. But Bige-
lows dates may be for a warm wave
in the Ohio valley and "a cold wave in
Iowa on the same day, and can Haz,
ems method apply
"A long and careful study Of Hazen
proves that the above fairly repre-
sents his methods when dealing with
the weather work of others.

GOV. CULBERSON CALLS AN EXTRA
 SESSION OF THE LEGISLATURE
To Pass a Law That WnI Prevent the Corbett and Fitzsimmons Prize
 Fight.

AUSTIN, TEX. September 26.-Gov. Culberson tonight issued a proclama- tion calling special session of the Legislature for October l, that will pass a law that will knock the Cor bett-Fitzsimmons prize fight into cooked hat. The Governor issued the proclamation at midnight to- night after a lengthy consultation with his cabinet, and gives the As sociated Press correspondent as the reason for his action that in the present condition of the law points the fight managers are liable to pull off the fight while the courts are rowing over it. That the Chief Jus tice of tie Court of Criminal Appeals has ruled against the State and now there is a mandamus case pending in the Supreme Court that may go in an entirely different line, thus raising conflict between the two higest courts in the State. In order to set tie all possible contention he issued the call tonight convening the Legis- lature next Tuesday.

A HANDSOME ENGINE.
The Fourth Completed In the shops at
 This Place This Year.

Again the St. Louis Southwest shops, at this place, has turned out another beautiful engine, making four that has been built here this year. The first three being passen- ger engines, but the one completed yesterday was a freight engine.
 Master Mechanic Galbraith had this engine, which is certainly one of the finest on the road, put on steel frames. The fire-boxes were all of steel, which was an undertak- ing never before attempted in any southern shop. This engine was builtin sixty days. Messrs. John Hurley and Richard Schwartz, two of the most skillful mechanics in the country, we're oyerseers of the work, and under their orders were a large force of experienced and high-priced workmen. The engine weighed 40, 900 pounds It will be sent to the yards of the St. Lous South western at Birds Point for service at that place.
 Under the supervision of Master Mechanic Galbraith and his corps of assistants, the shops of the St.Louis Southwestern are now turning out work that cannot be equaled in the South, and the fame of the Pine Bluff shops is rapidly spreading all over the country, which, in itself, is a big advertisement for our city.

ALMOST GOT HIM.
THE CLOSE GALL OF PAT LACEY NEAR
 HUMPHREY YESTERDAY.
Officers Ran Him Into n Bium and Made
 Him Leave His Horse.

The Little Rock Gazette today says: Pat Lacey, who with Bob Owens, is wanted for the killing of Deputy Sheriffs k. c. Harris and F. II. Stiff, near England, Lonoke county, the first of the week, nar- rowly missed capture yesterday.
 A party of officers was securing the woods in the neighborhood of Humphrey, near the Lonoke county line in Jefferson county, when they come upon Lacey. He was riding Il sorrel mare that has the record for speed in that county, and was leay- ing the officers in great shape when they ran him into a bluff. of whose existence he did not know.
 Lacey, when he saw that his mare was useless to him, sprang to the ground and, putting the animal be- tween himself and the approaching officers, ran for it. He was out of sight before the officers could reach him, and since then he has not been seen. The mare was taken in charge by the officers, who think that Lacey, by her loss, is greatly handicapped.
 Itis thought that Bob Owens is also in the neighborhood of Hum- phreys, and that he and Lacey are trying to get together.
 Lacey's aunt has been arrested and placed in custody on the charge of having been an accessory to the killing, It is claimed she fired two shots from u Winchester at one of the deputies.
 Great stories are told of Lacey's skill as marksman. 1t Is said that with his horse going in its fastest run he has been known to put three Winchester bullets into a deer while it was running across Il thirty-yard clearing, the shots being fired from a distance of 1S0 yards. He had not been in Lonoke county long. Where lie came from no one knows, as he was very quiet and unobtrusive. The feeling against him and Owens Is very bitter in the neighborhood of their crime.

business advantages of the Mary land town, which drew him to re- move to it, Quay and German might have been facing each other today as the leaders of their respective parties in Pennsylvania, for neither of them could have kept out of poli- tics, no matter where he was born, any more than duck can keep out of water.
 Senator German has been in politics ever since he was a boy. 1t was Stepnen A. Douglas, then in the height of his power, who made young German a page in the Senate before he was IA years old, and thus started him on the career which has brought him to the leadership of that side of the Senate where he formerly served in the humblest capacity.
 WILL OCCUPY DOUGLAS SEAT.
 At the beginning of the next session of Congress Senator German will be found sitting in the very seat where Stephen A. Douglas sat in the Senate. It is the one] Senator Ransom had, the second from the front, on the main isle, and it is not generally known that Senator Cor man, who has had his eye on it because it was the seat of his great patron and preceptor, applied for it as soon as Senator Ransom told him that he was going to leave the Senate. It was Douglas himself who. recognizing the latent powers in the young lad, filled him with ambition, which became the main- spring of his life, to serve as a Senator where he had served as a page.
 Don't go off out there and be- come wanderer," said the little giant of Illinois to him one day, when German, who had been reading about the golden success of the Argonauts, spoke of going to Cali fornia. "Stay here and go back to your State and make up your mind that you will come right back here in this Chamber as it's representative in the United States Senate. 1t is not a very hard thing to do if you once set your mind on it." Young German did set his mind on it, al- though he had to wait q quarter of century, he realized his ambition, and in March 1881, a few days before his forty-second birthday, he sue ceeded William Pinckney Whyte, who has never become reconciled to it, in the United States Senate, where he has served ever since and where his present term will not expire until the end of the century.
 NOW FOR THE PRESIDENCY.
 "Man never is, but ever to be blessed" at least in worldly things, and therefore I suppose Senator Cor mans ambition now stretc hes be- yond the Senate to the Presidency; but it was proud satisfaction for
