TIE Desha County Democratic contest between Mr. Howard Robb and Mr. J. NJ. Kiteley for the Demo, cratic nomination for Circuit Clerk, full account of which was publish
 ed in these columns yes- terday in an interview with Mr. Blount C. Trice, editor of the Arkansas City .Joataal, brings up very interesting question which may have to be passed on by the Supreme Court of the State. The oues tion in this case is whether or not the courts have jurisdiction in such contests, and if the action of the Democratic County Central Committee is subject to the re view of the courts. The Demo- cratic primaries of Desha county were held under the law passed by the last Legislature legalizing primaries. In the contest above mentioned the Democratic County Central Committee threw out the votes of Silver Lake township on the grounds of fraud, which gave

 The only pills to take with Hoods Sarsaparilla,

TnE esteemed Press Edgte is quick to criticise the GRAPHIC this morn ing for it's publication of an inter- view with Mir Blount c. Trice, editor of the Arkansas City Jouraai, in which the editor of the Jouynaf reviewed at length the injunction recently granted by Judge Elliott ordering the Democratic County Central Committee of Desha county to reconvene and declare Mr. J. M. Kiteley the Democratic nominee of that county for Circuit Clerk after the Committee had certified to the nomination of Mir. Howard Robb for that position. Inasmuch as the in junction case comes up before Judge Elliott today on motion to dis solve, the Press-Eogle expresses the opinion that the GRAPHIC and Mr. Trice overstepped their "boands' in ecriticizing Q judicial act that under the law is almost mandatory. h reply We beg to say that neither the GRAPHIC nor MT. Triee 'criticised the action of Judge Elliott. At the GRAPHIc's request Mr. Trice pre- pared an interview reviewing the case, which was only plain state ment Of the causes leading thereto. This was published simply as an ite,n of AelcS, with no desire to preju- dice the cause of any party to the suit or eritieise the judicial acticn therein of Judge Elliott. But it is exceedingly strange to us how ten der is the epidermis of some people to anything that smacks of criticism. The case is a matter of record, and, therefore, public property, and it was a legitimate item of news which the public prints had perfect right to use. The GRAPHIC believes in getting the news and publishing it, and it has no apologies to make therefor.

Your Physical Condition

Needs attention at this time. If you are tired, weak and nervous, it is clear that your blood is impure, and without doubt there has been too much overw0rk or strain on brain and body. The course of treatment for such q condition is plain and simple. The blood must first be pu- rified so that the nervous system, and in fact, all the organs must be fed upon pure blood. Intelligent people without number have testi- fled that the best blood purifier and nerve tonic is Hoods Sarsaparilla.

lie Carter For the Stage
 David Belasco was witness in the supreme court in New York city the other day i'll his suit to recover @s0 000 from N K. Fairhank for services req dered in fitting Mrs. Leslie Carter for the stage Belasco, after describing the arduous nature Of the work of coaching novices and even actors of experience and reputation, testified that he first met Fairbank in the autumn of 1889 in the apartments of Mrs. Carter in New York. This also was the plaintiff wit ness first meeting with Mrs. Carter The meeting was at Fairbanks request and had for it's purpose, Belasco testi- fed, the discussion of the question of making dramatic star of Mrs Carter. According to, the witness, he told Fair bank that the cost of that undertaking would be $40. 1000 to $50,0 which was no more than was paid for prepar- ing Mary Anderson for her career. To this information the defendant respond ed, placing his hand on the plaintiffs $ shoulder: My boy, yon have been very frank and would frighten any other man. but have plenty of money I lose s1. 1000, ,00o in one day and make it back the next.
 Belasco further testified that he ob- jected to dealing with packers who with held their names from the public, to which Fairbsnk replied that it was for weighty business reasons that he did not wish to be known as the financial sponsor for Mrs. Carter Negotiations progressed so far that Belasco retired from his other engagements to devote his entire time to the development of Mrs. Carter's talents Fxirbank had asked the witness several times not to come to him at his hotel, as witness be- ing theatrical man his coming was apt to excite gossip. A change of man: agers for Mrs. Carter WAS effected at g cost of $500. which Fsirbank paid. On one occasion, according to Belasco's s testimony, Fairbank said to him: "Be- lasco, what is this hear of your leaving Mrs. Carter after she makes her debut? I can't spare you. I want you to tour with her and write plays for her. n
 To this Belasco says he replied: Goodness me, l can t do that don t want to go on a tour and become . theatrical manager, as l have wife and grown up daughters and can t give up my business !" Fairbank asked how much Belasco made year, and when he was told that it was between OBS, 900 and ss0,00 he said, Go with me, Belasco, and you will make as much. y
 Witness said he finally agreed to 10 on a tour and informed Fairbank it would cost $s0, 900 for Broadway pro- duction. to which Fairbank replied, Consider MT. Allen bank and draw on him for money 2 sis

Mr. Howard Robb the nomination over Mir. J. M. Kiteley, the present incumbent, by one vote. MT. Kiteley then appealed to Chancellor Robinson to grant an injunction against the Democratic County Central Committe to cause the same 10 count the votes of Silver Lake township Chancellor Robin son decided that the law legaliNng primaries did not give him iuris- diction, and that the matter rested solely with the committee, where upon MT. Kiteley appealed to Judge J. M. Elliott, Judge of the Circuit Court Judge Elliott decided that he had jurisdiction, and also that the Central Committee erred in not counting the vote of Silver Lake township; that the committee should have declared Mr. Kiteley the nominee, and ordered that the committee should reconvene and canvass the votes of all townships and declare the result accordingly and ordered that the committee make return of it's action to the Circuit Court on the first day of the July term thereof. Thus it will be seen that the issue is clearly pre- scented, whether under such cases and the law legalizing primaries, the courts have jurisdiction of such contests. When the bill legalizing primaries was before the last Legis lature this phase of the subject was not discussed in either the House or the Senate, and had it ever been claim ed that the law authorized the courts to take jurisdiction in such cases, we have no doubt the bill would have been defeated. The object of the advocates Of the bill was to make frauds praeticed in the con- duet of primary elections punishable by the courts, the same as frauds i'll the general election, but there was not one who advanced the idea that the passage of the bill would authorize the courts, circuit or ehancerv, to take jurisdiction of such contests, order the Democratic Central Committee unCer whose auspices such contests are held as to what it should do, and declare and certify to the result. The present contest should be made a test case and appealed to the Supreme Court to ascertain ii courts of law have jurisdiction in such cases.

They May Again Lead the Congressional
Contest in the Eighth District.
Easton, April SIT is announced
that Judge Kirkpatrick who was At
torney General under Governor Bea-
yer and whom 1894, in the campaign
against Congressman Hart reduced
the Democratic majority in the dis
trict from 5000 to 1877, will accept a
denomination at the hands of Re
publicans if they so desire. This
will very probably decide this ques-
ton in the district, especially as it
is understood that Judge Kirbpa-
trick would go into the campaign to
win if possible.
Who the Democrats will name is
not known, but it looks very much
as though Congressman Hart will be
renominated. 1t is believed that in
a second contest between these two,
Judge Kirkpatrick would win, ow-
ing to increased support in North
ampton, Carbon and Monroe.

Fooled Into Buying New Spring Hat,


1t was not until last Saturday that
Ollie " Ryder manifested any SUI
perior qualities as "sprinter, ="
but his latent talent in that line was
demonstrated on that date in an un-
mistakable manner. 1t happened in
this way: Ollie, together with his
companions, were unloading some
beef from a car at the rear of the
Swift Co. s house ON Front street.
Ollie took off his hat and hung it on
a nail in the car After the consign-
ment was unloaded. Ollie had some
business in the beef house and left
his hat remain ON the hook in the
car Messrs. Copeland and Mills
paugh surreptitiously removed the
hat. In the meantime an engine
had drawn the empty car up into
the yard. When Ollie had occasion
to use his hat he started out for the
car, but it was gone. Ollie started
up the track at a breakneck pace and
told Yardmaster Van Wormer, who
sent Ollie over to the freight depot,
but Ollie was informed that the car
had been sent to Chicago. Ollie
purchased a new hat and returned
crestfallen to the Beef Co.'S Office
and never said a word until Mr..
Copeland gave him his hat when
