Secretary Lamont Makes Special Ruling In Favor of the Young Man--Story Reads
 Like Romance-A Case of Pluck and Perseverance.
 When the West Point Military acad- emy opens for the next school year it will have among the fresh arrivals Q remarkable young man from Kansas who bears the name of John McCul- tough. The Kansas City Journal, refer ring to his recent appointment, speaks of it as an illustration of what pluck and perseverance will accomplish " The story of this boy reads like delightful romance. He is farmers son, and the home of the family is an out of the way locality, where no little red school house. opens its door to seekers for knowledge. The Journal is authority for the statement that this boy has nev CT been to school, the circumstances of the family being such as to prohibit him from the enjoyment of that privilege. Instead of going from home to attend school he staid at home and worked full time on the farm. But there was time for study at night, and he made use of it to such good purpose that he passed a competitive examination against large number of other youths who had the advantage of extensive school training.
 The law provides that candidate for West Point must not be over 21 years when appointed. Young Mccullough had passed his twenty first birthday. But Secretary Lamont exercised wise discretion in ruling that he was 21 un- til he was 22, and the secretary did not stop there. The Post is glad to record that in order to remove all obstacles in the way of this courageous young fellow the head of the war department ordered a special examination to be held so that Mccullough would not be 22 before his final examination.
 In order to take his first examination, in which he successfully competed with many bright young men from various schools of good repute, young McCul- tough drove 300 miles-and Kansas miles are long-in wagon, camping out at night It is not strange that Sec retary Lamont was deeply impressed when he learned that such champion had come up out of the wilderness and vanquished the best products of the best families and the most approved training schools. We hope the future of this youth will meet the expectations that are justified by his past. He will find at West Point that poverty is no serious disadvantage. That school is the most democratic of all our institutions. Nei- ther aristocratic birth nor wealth suffices to change a students rating one iota Every tub stands on it's own bottom J The sons of poor men are as likely to gain high rating as the sons of the rich.

SOME portions of Arkansas, at least, will not lack advertising at the Atlanta Exposition this fall and winter. The Stuttgart Free Press has announced that it will issue a trade edition next week of II, 900 copies, each paper con taining forty eight columns of reading matter de- scriptive of the State and county, and great number of these papers will be sent to Atlanta and through out the country in general. The Johnson County Herald, Clarksville, Ark, will also issue big edition of 10000 copies and distribute them at the Atlanta Exposition. These pa- pers, and all others that attempt such an enterprise, should be liber- ally patronized and encouraged by the people of their cities and coun- ties, for it is bound to result in great good to them and the State.

IF we mistake not the Rison Baxoo nominated w. H. Langford, of Little Rock, for Governor of Arkan- sas, and now wants to take him down for being gold-bug. Will the Bazoo kindly explain how the cleo tion of gold-bug Governor would injure the silver cause. Lincoln Ledger
 It is true that the Bazoo noml- mated VIII. Langford for Governor; it is not true that the Bo1oo wants to pull him down for being a gold bug or for any other cause. We nominated him for that high office because we knew him to be one of Arkansas purest, brainiest and most polished young business men nominated strictly as a business man, not knowing anything about his views on the financial question. We do know that he is true blue Democrat and an honest, conscien- tious gentleman However, we are reliably informed by a sound money man, who is an intimate personal friend of both Mr. Langford ana the editor, that he has never expressed himself on the subject. -Rison R0z00

An Inmate Of County Almshouse
unberits a vast Fortune.

Inberits a Vast Fortune.
LEWISTON, Me-, Oct. 12.-For
the last five years there has lived
in the poorhouse here man who
was known to the authorities as
John Bell. He was taken in 1890,
after being discovered in an ap-
parently dying condition on the
roadside, and has been an inmate
ever since. He has steadily re-
fused to reveal any Of his previous
history, but he undoubtedly came
of a good family. and to some of
the inmates had confided the fact
that he was heir to a large fortune,
but he had been cheated out of
it. He has dwelt on this subject
for the last FIVE years, and the
keepers thought be was mildly
insane on this subject, though he
was perfectly rational on every
thing else.
Today, however, they received
information from the British
Hotne Government that fortune
had been left to one John Bell
and that they had reason to be-
lieve that he was the same as the
man living at the poorhouse. The
information was ut once carried
to Bell and he gave proof which
shows conclusively that he Is heir
to the fortune which amounts to
nearly SIS 900 900.
These proofs and the afhdavits
of Bell were at once sent to the
home Government and he will
shortly go to England to establish
rs claim. His story is u most
remarkable one. Ten years ag"
he, in company with his father
and brother, went to South Africa
and engaged il sheep ftrming.
On the death of his father his
elder brother was able to secure
the whole of the property, and he
was left without any property at
all. He came to the United Statea
and landed without food or money.
While walking he broke his leg,
and it being improperly set his
limb was rendered useless. In
this condition and absolutely
starving he was taken to the poor
house and has remained there ever
since. About a year ago the
brother died, leaving his whole
property to Bell, and the authori-
ties have been trying to trace him
ever since, and have only of late
located him.
During the whole time he has
not had the least communication
with any of his relatives and had
given up all hopes Of ever living
elsewhere than the poorhouse,
the injury to his leg preventing
him from active work. The British
Consul at Halifax will see that he
receives immediate transportation
to England, where, if he is able
TO prove his identity, the whole
fortune will be turned over to
him.

of the crowd who went to see them. As
he was making his way III he felt some
thing at his coattail, and putting his
hand into his pocket he found an egg.
This he took out and most adroitly
transferred it to the pocket Of a young
man just III front Of him, person as
unlike himself as can we'll he imagined.
Arrived in the hail, be remarked where
this young man placed himself and
chose his own seat in q corner as remote
as possible When the time came for
Wizard" Anderson to trouble" him
for the egg. he arose and explained that
ne had nothing of the sort ii his pocket,
but that he believed that gentleman"
could produce it. pointing to the aston
ished young man. whose surprise, how
ever, by no means equaled that of the
