HARVEST JUBILEE.
Paw Paws Holiday a Success in Every
Way.

Paw Paws Holiday Success in Every
Way.
Early yesterday morning, an unwont-
ed stir was noticeable in town, and by
niue o'clock Main street was gay with
flags and bunting. The day of the har-
vest festival was here. By the middle
of the forenoon, a big crowd was in
town. The business streets were well
nigh impossible. The people all seemed
to enjoy themselves hugely, and they
should have done So as plenty of sports
were provided for their amusement.
The Little Prairie Roude and Bloom
ingdale bands made the day lively with
plenty of good music, and large num-
Der of stands, etc, furnished plenty of
refreshments for the inner man-and
for his family as well.
Following is a summary of the sports,
which commenced on Main street
promptly at the advertised time:
Bicycle race-one-half mile-Horace
McKelar 1st, III. G.. Waters I'd, Guy
Lamberson Sd. This event was an in
teresting one, but misunderstanding
as to the end of the course caused some
of the riders to pause, making the fin
ish less interesting than it otherwise
would have been.
The foot race-150 yards-was sharp
ly contested, there being five starters.
"Euge" Bennett of Hartford won 1st
money, Wilbur Warner I'd, Ed. Morlan
3D..
The exhibit of driving horses was not
the least interesting event. In gents
single drivers, Geo. Weston won first
with Mrs. Whalen's black horse, Har
rington Bros. I'd and 3d.
Mr. Weston also captured 1st in gents
double drivers, with Mrs. Whalen's
black and Frank Parks fine driver.
Harrington Bros. won second in this
class.
Lottie Showerman, with Black Dick
and Bert Showerman's carriage horse
as a team, was voted the blue ribbon
for the best turnout driven by lady.
Mrs. j. G.. Sage won the red and Daisy
Longwell, with Goodale's white Patsy"
the white ribbon.
Just after dinner, the fire department
gave an exhibition. The fire alarm
was sounded, and many people, not
knowing false alarm was to be given,
hurriedly left their late dinner tables
to see the conGagration. The engine
was stationed at the cistern at the cross
ing of Main and Kalamazoo streets.
Two hose companies ran a race, one
turning to the west and one TO the
east on Main street. unreeling the hose
from their carts and coupling to the
engine. In a marvelously short time,
two streams of water were being thrown
into the air.
The ball game followed and resulted
in score of "a to 10 in favor of Hart
ford. The Paw Paw team played a
ragged game and lost it fairly.
The only disappointment of the day
was the failure to provide fireworks for
the evening.

The Victory Brigade mission held a
rousing meeting last night in their hall,
3ll fremont street. One new convert
testified that he had touch of the ex-
perience of the Apostle Paul. He said
that he went to the hall with the inten-
ton of ridiculing the meeting and the
brigade, and he hadn't been there long
until he was struck with conviction, and
he arose to testify to the saving power of
Christ. He said that he entered the
building with five or six companions,
and he called on them to know if he had
not expressed the intention of ridiculing
the meeting, and one of them responded
that he had SO expressed himself. Gal

LET me tell you of another time
when experienced choking sensation.
1t twas that first day at Gettysburg. Just
before we were ordered into the fight
had been talking with Colonel Lucius
Fairchild of the Second Wisconsin. Both
of us were in good spirits. We knew
trouble was coming, but were confident
great victory for our arms was coming
also. The order to advance came, and we
saluted and separated. That hot after
noon, made hotter by the thunder of
hundreds of cannon and the continuous
rattle of musketry, while l was getting
the battery through Gettysburg with as
little delay as possible, the other folks
being close to us, heard some one shout
my name. Looking in the direction from
which the sound came, l saw Colonel
Fairchild standing on a porch waving
his handkerchief Then saw that one
of his arms was gone. | can't tell You
how shocked was, nor how my heart
crowded up into my throat when re-
called our pleasant visit of a few hours
before and thought that forever and
forever my dear friend would have to
get along with one arm. l want to
thank you folks up in Wisconsin for be-
ing good to him. Had him for your gov
ernor for a long time, didn't you?" Yes,
major, and secretary of state. The ma
ton had him for consul, consul gen
eral, foreign minister. He has been
what no other American has or is likely
to be-commander in chief of the Grand
Army of the Republic and commander
in chief of the Loyal legion. Colonel

A JOKE ON CHIEF STEWART.


During the summer months there
must have been a tramp working on
thu streets of Pine Bluff who had in
him a great deal of quiet humor,
and as developments have shown,
this humor has been vented at the
expense ofour Chief of Police to the
amount OF forty cents.
A few weeks ago the city police ar
rested a white man on the charge of
vagrancy. He was fined $40. which
lie could only pay by working out
the fine on the streets. The man
was barefooted and nearly naked
In accordance to an ordinance gov
erning such matters, the Chief of
Police bought his prisoner pair Of
pants and a cheap pair OF brogan
shoes at the expense of the city The
prisoner served out his fine and left
Pine Bluff. Naturally the Chief be-
lieyed that he would hear nothing
more of him. Yesterday. however,
he received quite surprise. He was
notified that there was package at
express Office addressed to him on
which there was 40 cents charges.
Tie package came from Mobile, Ala.
The Chief expected to find in the
package a handsome present and he
gladly paid the 40 cents. He carried
the package To the office and open
it. You can only imagine his sur
prise and chagrin when he discovered
that he had paid out accents OF his
hard-earned cash for an old pair of
brogan shoes which the vagrant had
worn away from Pine Bluff, and
who, ON reaching Mobile, had sent
them back, c. o. d., to Chief Stewart,
The old shoes are now hanging in
a conspicuous place in the Chiefs
Office -. remembrance nf the va
grant, and it is safe to say that if he
ever comes back to Pine Bluff he will
be given warm reception.

Wartime Inoidents-The Story of Flight

Major James Stewart of Carthage,
O., a retired regular, who commanded
Battery B, Fourth artillery, talks about
two occasions when he was shocked and
saddened His horse, Tartar, was OF
blooded stock, and horse aud master
were much attached to each other. At
the second Bull Run battle solid shot
plowed through the rumps Of high strung
Tarter, gouging out pounds Of flesh and
cutting off his tail snug to the body.
The wounded animal frisked about right
briskly for minute and then settled
down and carried his rider until the
battle lulled, seeming to know that the
commander could not spare time, in
that iron and leaden hail, to change
horses. He had bled to weakness, but
quickly obeyed every summons of the
rein. When Stewart dismounted and
saw the CHASTITY wound he was, to
use his own language, as shocked
as if I'd lost an arm y He supposed
that his fayorite riding horse would die
or have to be killed When, the next
morning, Tartar slowly and with
wobbly gait walked to his master while
he was slipping coffee and munching
bareback and raw pork, and gently laid
his head upon his shoulder and groaned,

neck and kissed the brown name. 81

Affairs and Images DestrOyed-A
PitifuI Letter From Sas-
SCUM.

LONDON, Sept. 10-A dispatch to
the Daily News from Kars, Armenia,
says that the entire district of Ke-
maks- is surrounded by Turkish
troops, dispatched by Zekki Pasha
under the plea of arresting Armenian
revolutionists. The villages of Carni,
Tiruguegner, Tertan, Horoput and
Marig are reported to be completely
sacked, and the population, aggre-
eating 5000 people, were foully treat
ed, men being tortured and women
and children assaulted. The four
monasteries of Auakwauk, ,Sourphop,
Thervorithchoga and Soupphagop
were sacked, and the affairs and
images destroyed.
The excitement and alarm is uni
versal. Authentic information from
Moush is to the effect that an anti
Christian society of Turkish officials
has been formed there and at Bitlis,
with the avowed intention of slaugh*
tering the Christians in the event OF
the acceptance of the porte of the
scheme of reforms presented by the
powers. It is declared that Consul
Hampson is to be the first victim.
