yesterday elected governor of Arkan

ticket has been successful at the polls.
There were but two full tickets i.

can-the Populists conterting them
selves with candidate for governor.
Jones and Remmel tthe Republican
;andidate) made an active canvass of
the state. but Files, the Populist nom
iree, made no speeches. The Demo-
Gratis put forth special Efforts to roll
up a large majority in this election
for its moral effect on the free silver
cause in other states in November, and
introduction estimates have placed
Jones majority as high as $4,000 over
the combined opposition.
The Little Rock interest in the cleo
ton centered on the liquor license
question. Never before in the history
Of the city had there been such a cam
naign against license. The religious
element, the W. c. Il. L. and the minis
tiers especially have been busily en-
gagged for more than n month in the eff
fort to beat license and were joined in
the movement by the Republicans. who
hoped in defeating license to break up
the sO-Called county Democratic ring.
! Two mig uaSS-meetingS were held by
the Prohibition people Sunday and
prayer meetings were held every hour
In all the city churches yesterday. At

ccivcd from city polling places to indi-
cat" that license has carried by a
small majority, and that the regular
Democratic ticket in this county has
won by about the usual majority.
The weather throughout Arkansas
was cool and pleasant and from spe-
cial dispatches received by the Gazette
the indications are that q large vote
was poiled. II is believed that the ma
iority Of Hon. Dan W. Jones, Demo-
cratic nominee for governor will not

Supporting Blackburn.
Col Crabb and State Senator
Smith Came to Blows.

Col. William Crabb, of Eminence,
and State Senator Park G.. Smith,
of Henry county, were on the l.. q
N. train Saturday afternoon. Col.
Crabb accused Smith of violating
the pledges to his constituents in
not heartily supporting Blackburn.
Hot words passed till the lie was
given, and the men came to blows.
Fortunately the train was just
slowing up for Eminence and
friends separated the would-be
combatants, and prevented serious
trouble. A scratch or two on each
was all that was left to show for
the fight.

It May Do As Much For You.

Mr.. Fred Miller of Irving, H.,
writes that he had a severe kidney
trouble for many years, with severe
pains in his back and also that his
bladder was affected. He tried many
so called kidney cures but without any
good result, About a year ago he
began the use of Electric Bitters and
found relief at once. Electric Bitters
is especially adapted to cure of all
kidney and liver troubles and often
gives almost instant relief. One trial
will prove our statement. Price only
90 cents for large bottle. For sale at
w. S. Lloyd's drugstore.

A CRUSHING DEFEAT
Melted Out to the Italian Forces
in Abysinia.
The People at Home Wild With
Rage.
MINISTRY FORCED TO RESIGN.

On March l, the Italian forces
under Gen. Baratieri, some $4,000
or 10000 strong, made an at
tack on King Menelik, who
with force reported to number
100000, was strongly entrenched at
Adowa. The Abysinian troops,
when first attacked, pretended to
retreat and drew the enemy into
trap, then closing in on them, by
sheer force of numbers, they crush
ed the Italian columns. Reports
of the number Of officers slain
show that they did all in their
power to rally their broken col
umns. The Italians lost in killed
alone some 5000 men. When the
news reached Italy the people went
wild with rage and sought to vent
their spite on the ministry which
was forced to resign.
Rioting prevailed in nearly all
the large cities of Italy, and it was
with difficulty that even the mill
tary could hold the turbulent
spirits in check.
An order was issued calling out
the Reserves to. the number of So
600 men, which are to be sent to
the seat of war to try to wipe out
the disgrace Of this most disas-
trous defeat.
