To Favor Special Ones

NTr Il. Jameson Says He Doesnss mean
To Favor Special Ones.
In letter to the STATE JOURNAL Mr..
E. Jameson. secretary OF the Kansas
Million club, says that he stated az me
meeting of the local branch OF the Mll-
Jon club at the Council chamber, lew
nights ago, that the LeavenwortA lines
and Kansas City Journal had agreed 10
nublish the write ups of Kansas men Tor
nothing.
MIR Jameson may have intended to
make that statement but he did not say
IT, He said he had already made ar
ranoements' with those two papers ana
expected to arrange for half column
write ms of Kansas men in all the Sun
day papers.
it understood that he believes IN news
paper advertising, but that be IS opposed
to display advertising IN eastern papers
for the Million club.
IF Mr.. Jameson is, as he says treating
all the home papers alike IN the matter
of advertising, then he IS entltieu 10 the
credit he deserves, rather tnan cfltlclsnn'
but Mr.. Jameson certainly DID not say IN
his Topeka speech that the arrangements
he had made with the Ieavenwoftn anu
Kansas City papers was on "A tree OASIS
and the impression given all through ms
speech was that he had picked them as
favorites for the Million club.
Mr.. jameson says that in speech he
made at the organization of the Million
club at Salina, he said it was the plan OF
the organization to spend one hail OF
the money raised in each county In loea!
advertising in the county papers. II
this is his intention, Kansas newspapers
will be glad to learn of 1t. Inc STATE
JouRNAL has no objection to money be-
mo snent in eastern papers, and thinks
it would be a good thing, but whatever
money is spent in Kansas papers should
be spent impartially.

Electric Bitters is the medicine suited for any season, but perhaps more general y needed in the Spring, when the languid. exhausted feeling prevails, when the liver is torpid and sluggish and the need ot tonic and alterative is felt. A prompt use Of this medicine has often ayerted long and perhaps fatal bilious levers. No medicine will act more surely in counter acting and freeing the system from the malariai poision.

The Meeting Closed.

,, The services at the Baptist church wednesday night closed what has per- maps been the most successful revival meeting ever held in Forrest City with m ten years. The meeting has been conducted by Ed. w. A. Giboney, evangelist, of Wynne, under the aus pces ot the Baptist church of this city, ana under the personal care and su- Peryision of the efficient pastor, Ed. h l., Stanley. Rev. F. E. Tayior, of the Methodist church, and several vis- itihg ministers of various denomina- tons. as they happened in town, as- sisted in the meeting
 The work of Rev. Taylor is due special mention. It was of that earn est humble and prayerful sort which cIafacterlZes his everyday life, and 'h'ich oi the success was due to his prayers and personal endeavors.
 but alter all the main credit of this successful work is due tothe pastor, Mho had made the preliminary arrange mth's' who had prepared the people to .espohd to earnest and united exhor- taIlons. and who had in all other re- sspects assumed the responsibilities and uncertainties" of such an enterprise. lie Is due the sincere and substantial thanks of thescitiZens of this town, re- gaodiess of denomination, for this @orlous meeting.
 Ihe services were protracted a pe- .ioo or twenty three days during which sime With few exceptions Ed. Giboney preached twice each day -no two ser niohs alike or even similar. His fund VI reasoning, logic, -eXhortation and wit. seems to be inexhaustible and if at any tune he had occasion to repeat anything which he had promulgated upon former occasion, he invariably stated the fact that he had said so nhce before" In addition to the regu- "a ar work in the pulpit Eld. Giboney led ae singing, and was faithfully assisted oy the regular choir and number, of v.hef singers. Much Of the successAof sue meeting is also due we think to the splendid music.
 Asa result of this work there were upwards of 50 professions. The Bap- Jst church received thirty-seven acces- n"ls, thirty by baptism, four by letter ""sa three by statement.

Two Thousand People in New
York Enter Protest
Arguments in Favor of Open Saloons on
the Sabbath
DR.. Rainford Of St. Georges Church Tells
Why He Opposes the Excise Law.
Some Strong Speeches

New York, March 1.-two thousand
people we're present at the meeting in
Cooper Union tonight to protest against
the Sunday closing law. Mayor Strong,
who was expected, was not present.
A tiaring poster, bearing the words,
1--WE demand vote on the Sunday ques-
ton; let the majority rule" adorned one
of the walls. The speakers were DIR. W. s.
Rainford, John Fredericks, and DR.. A.
d. J. Rylance.
DR.. w. S. Rainford of st. George
Church said in part:
Il am opposed to the present excise
law which closes saloons on Sunday. l
am in favor of opening saloons on that
day for certain hours, say from II noon
to midnight"
He said he believed the opening of sa-
looms for certain hours on Sunday would
diminish law breaking. The present law.
he thought, was impossible of enforce
ment and its disregard begot disrespect
| for law which was unhealthy for the pub
lie morals. AS to this evasion he said:
II need not say that this is not true
only of Irish or German saloons alone.
1t is also true of large portion of our
American people.
| Secondly, am in favor of opening the
| saloons on Sunday, because l think such

vast majority of men in everyway are
healthier and richer for not touching any
alcohol. l have tried both plans myself.

now total abtsainer. l may convince
my neighbor of this truth, yet L cannot
force him to do it. The only club the
working man has is the saloon. He does
not go there simply to drink or to smoke.
He goes there to meet his friends. and he
| mas got to go there to meet them, for he
! has no home in which he can meet them.
You have no right to close up the work
ingman's club on Sunday. If you do you
must close up the gentlemans club too,

as working people do. l wish there were
other clubs for the wage earners. L be-

DR.. Rainford said he believed Sunday
saloons would diminish drunkenness.
The present laws, he said, gave opportu-
nifty for blackmail DR.. Rainford left the
hall amid cheers.
A letter from Carl Schurz was read, in
which he pursued substantially the same
! argument as had DR.. Rainford.
RESOLUTIONS were passed favoring the
passage by the present legislature OF a
bill carrying out the views advanced by

COLOR LINE IN GEORGIA
W0mens Press Club Withdraws From
the Federation
Cause Of the Trouble Was the Admittance of
Three Organiz cations of Negro
Women

Atlanta, Ca, March 1.-THE Georgia
Women's Press Club will withdraw its
membership from the General Federation
of Women's Clubs for the reason that the
Federation has just admitted into its
membership three clubs made up OF negro
women. This was decided by the govern
ing board of the club, which held a meet
ing yesterday afternoon at the Capital
Female College. The board was composed
of Miss Beck, president; Miss Corine
Stocker, Miss Ellen Dortch, Miss Rosa
Woodbury., Mrs. William King, Miss A.
z. Penn and Miss Bascom Maybrck.
The club, when it was organized was
asked to join this Federation, which it
did. 1t was one of the first of the South
ern women's clubs to take this action, and
it will be the first to withdraw from it.
The withdrawal was caused by the admis-
sion within the last few weeks of three
negro women press clubs from the states
of Indiana and Illinois.
Miss Beck opened up correspondence
with the officers of the Federationg She
maintained that the members of tn,
Georgia Women's Press Club were not
ready yet to belong to club that admit
ted negroes as their social equals. The
Northern women maintained that it was
not admitting them as socials, but only
as fellow workers. A spirited correspond
ence was followed up between the two sec
tions, the Southern women claiming that
while they were glad to see the negroes
advancing they could not afford to asso-
ciate with them and admit them as equals.

GOLD IN AUSTRALIA
Story Of More Remarkable Discoveries in the
Antpodes.

Vancouver, B. c., March BY mail
via the steamer Miowera, comes an
astonishing story fom the distant gold
fields OF Western Australia, hardly credi-
BILE, if it were not borne out by the attest
of several ringleaders in the most terrible
tragedy yet enacted in lawless Coolgardie.
Fabulous finds have lately been reported
from the Ninety Mile Point, OF nuggets
weighing between fifty and 10 ounces of
pure gold being picked up on the surface
of the ground. The stories made men
mad with the lust for gain and prospect
ors pushed on hundreds of miles into the
wilderness, far beyond where white men
had ever been. They had scarcely enough
food and water to keep them alive. Some
were brought back raging with fever and
placed in Coolgardie Hospital which was
already overcroWded with dying miners.
The sad fate Of these desperate men did
not deter some new arrivals from form
ing a syndicate and. with heavy packs of
provisions, water and rifles, started from
Ninety Mile Point, the extreme western
limit of Coolgardie, to penetrate into the
interior. They started December LIST OF
last year, and nothing being heard of
them since, it was supposed they had
met death.
Dan Robertson, one of the syndicate re-
turned from camp, 120 miles from Cool
= NAV
lowing confession to the police;
Myself and companions were on our
return to Coolgardie. We were sick with
fever, had no luck, little to eat and
scatcely any water. We were camping
near mountain that we had christened
Chaterin. after one OF the boys, when
Mike Fitzgerald said he was going to
track the camels and look for water at
the same time. The search took him into
the dense forests surrounding the noun
tain. when lie suddenly came on a rich
cropping OF gold ore. He ran back to
the camp told us the news and we fol-
lowed him, leaving our tents open and
everything stleWn about. When we
reached the spot We were made mad with
jos, for staring us in the face was an out
crop far richer than Fitzgerald had
dreamed Of, In fact there was a solid
hill OF gold quatrz, rich in metal beyond
anything we had ever seen.
The hill was about seventy feet high,
80 feet wide at the base and fifteen feet
at the summit, lull of gold. We scram-
