Hon. J. A. c. Blackburn.

In his write-up of Rogers, the cor respondent of the Fort Smith Devel- oper has the following:
 "As an evidence of the high esteem in which Col. Black burn is held by his people, it may not be inappropriate to state that he has been lonored by the election to represent his district in the State Senate, and it is not too much to say that he will inject into his labors i'll that body the same energy enterprise and progressiveness which has ever characterized him as a citizen and business man. The State will feel the impress of this worthy gentleman's forceful, up-to- date character; and there is no doubt that he will prove an important fac- tor in shaping legislation that will tend to develop the rich and varied resources of the grand State of Ark ansas."
 Senator Blackburn is a wide-awake and progressive man, and will make the State an able and creditable law maker. The Democrats of the Twen- ty-fourth District are to be congrat- ulated upon their selection.

Mir. w. A. Gamble, travelling repre- sentative of the Memphis Commercial Appeal, is ill the city and was a
 pleasant caller at the GRAPHIC office yesterday. Besides being an intelli- gent gentleman and pleasing con versationalist, MT. Gamble represents one of the best, if not THE best news papers published in the South, and one that has larger circulation In Pine Bluff, perhaps, than any other foreign newspaper. The heCommercial- Appeal, from the excellence of it's news service as well as the ability displayed in the editorial department, has become almost an household necessity in Eastern Arkansas, and, we are glad to state, the manage ment of that newspaperi is now nego- tiating for special train over the Memphis X Little Rock road by which means the paper will probably reach here at 10:40 a. m. instead of 2:40 P. m., as al present. Mir. Gamble has given the exclusive agency for the Commercial-Appeal in Pine Bluff to our enterprising Second avenue newsdealers, Hoyler X Rowland, which is a sure guarantee of a prompt and correct delivery. The Commer- cial-Appeal is issued seven days in week for the low price of 65 cents month, which accounts for it's large in the States of Tennessee Arkansas and Mississippi.
 The manufactory of D. B. Riggfh, of this city, has gained additional fame and laurels by the beautiful fixtures, counters and desks made for the new Arlington Hotel. Mir. Rig gin now has a force of employees at work on the counter and shelving for the cigar and news stand of HOyler & Rowland, which will be placed In the new hotel. These fixtures will be as fine as were ever made in Arkansas. Mir. Riggin never turns out inferior or shoddy work. This fact has be- come known far and wide, cOnse- quently he always has just as much work as his factory can do.

CHICAGO MARKET LETTER

Furnished by Topeka Grain and Stock Exc
change, Room ., Columbian Building.
Wheat-There was a much better feel
ing in wheat this morning due to the
light receipts in the northwest, weaker
cables being ignored, and an idea well
grounded that foreigners have been on a
still hunt for wheat, being enabled to
secure large quantities on declining
market The first impulse was gain of
Il to g but this gave way to little easier
feeling thereafter improving gradually
as confidence was being engendered.
Conservative traders have arrived at the
conclusion that the area of low prices
for wheat has gone by for the present
and that the market should through
force of natural circumstances expert
ence another addition of two or three
cents TO the price. Private advices from
Liverpool were as weak as yesterday
and quoted futures lower but it seems
to be a strange anomaly that such ca
bles were accompanied by good buying
orders for the actual commodity. There
was another rumor near the close, that
the seaboard exporting houses were in
vading the southwest for winter wheat,
but up to the close no confirmation is at
hand. 1t would surprise no one, how
ever. if such were the case. There was
an enormous business at the Atlantic
seaboard yesterday with acceptances of
over half a million bushels Exports
are growing larger and were POS, 900
bushels for today, and amount to $4,000
bushels for the four days
Corn and Oats-The Price Current
summary was devoted chiefly to the con-
ditions surrounding the growing crops.
The document, as far as it was con-
cerned, exercised a bullish statement.
The Trade Journal reduces the crop to
something under 2 billion bushels Re-
ceipts of corn today 286. and for tomor-
row 400 Oats quiet and dull

mour absorbed all that was offered. aud

MINERS GO
Many Leave for TOluca, Ill, to
Get Work.
They Have to Sign a Contract
Not to Strike.
OTHER STATE NEWS.
Law Firm of Lambert, Graves &
Dixon DiSsOIves.

SCRANTON. Aug. 29.-Many of the
for the Illinois coal fields where they
have secured work. The majority of
those who remain here are hoping to be
put to work soon.
Those who enter the coal mines of
Toluca, Illinois. are compelled to sign
contract specifying the duties and work
they are to perform for a year. Their
wages are fixed at II cents per ton for
mining coal in the summer, and 70 cents
in the winter. If there is a reduction
made in the price of mining coal in
neIghboring mines they must accept a
reduction of wages to their level, but in
case of an advance they do not profit by
it.
Should anyone try to increase his
wages by joining an organization, or
should he stop work or quit before the
end of the year, his wages are forfeited
to the company. Clause seven OF the con-
tract reads:
"And the party of the second part
further agrees that he will not stop
work, leave the employ of the party of
the first part. or join or become a party
to, either directly or Indirectly, any
strike or com bination for the purpose of
raising wages during the life of this
contract, and should he do go, any
moneys in the hands of the party of the
first part shall be forfeited, and the said
party shall be fully released from all
liability on account of this contract, or
for any labor performed by the said
party of the second part"
The company reserves the right TO
discharge the miner a. will for any rea-
son, or close the mines at any time.
The average miEer, even if able to
read, driven by his pressing needs, signs
for year for the sake of securing en-
ployment.
The Scranton operators are liberal to
their miners, and if a market can be
found for their coal, will pay good wages
and work full time. If this coal, which
is of average quality and price, were
used more by the towns tributary to this
field it would give employment to
miners who must otherwise leave these
fields.

Can Be Spent for It
Attorney General Dawes has rendered
a long and formal opinion relative to the
use of the active service fund of the
Kansas National Guard for a state en-

can be used for a state encampment
where the troops are called out to the
encampment by the order of the COVER

the militia.
STATE JOURNAL reporter this afternoon
that he will act on the advice of the at
torney general and will honor the war
rants for the encam pment expenses from
the active service fund, although he does
not approve of the active service fund be-
ing put to that use.
State Treasurer Anterior is of the
opinion that the active service fund
should not be used for the encampment.
but he, like Auditor Cole, says that he is
not lawyer, and what the attorney gen.
eral says ought to govern.
Auditor Cole says he will not allow the
railroads but one cent mile for trans
porting the soldiers to and from the
encampment The legislature last
winter passed law fixing one cent as
the rate to be paid the railroads for trans
porting state troops under orders and
Auditor Cole notified the railroads last
night that they need not expect
to receive more than one cent
a mile for transporting the troops.
The railroads want cent and
half. and in his opinion Attorney Gen
eral Dawes says the act of the legis-
lature fixing the rate is unconstitutional.

OIL AT FALL RIVER.
Petroleum Discovered in Thirty Five
Feet of OH Sand.

EUREKA, Aug. 29.-Ol has been struck
two miles east Of + an River, Kansas.
The we'll is about QUE hundred feet
from the banks of Fall river and about
100 yards from the track of the San
Francisco railroad. The first of last
week the drill passed through about
thirty five feet of oil sand in which a
good flow of oil was found at depth of
1875 feet. The drill was raised and a
sample of the oil taken out. 1t is reported
that there is about 500 feet of oil in the
we'll
Just what amount of oil the fields in
Kansas will yield can not be determined
as yet but from the size of the coal fields
in Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas and In
dian Territory, it would appear that both
oil and gas ought to be present in suffi-
Glen! quantities to give a flow for many
years. This we'll at Fall River is the
closest one to Eureka.
