 Vote in Arkansas.

Little Rock, Ark, Sept. 9-The re- turns from the state election received up to noon to-day show steadily in creasing majorities in the various coun- ties for the democratic candidates. Desha and Newton counties are believ- ed to be the only counties which elect full republican tickets, while the popu- lists are now confined to Clark county, whereas two years ago they captured five representatives in the legislature and the republicans four.
 It will be at least two weeks before all the returns will be in, but enough is now known to make the estimate of 65000 majority for the democrats an as- Sured fact.

ior the package, but the Chinese would not
allow it to go until the old account was set

take her bundle, as it had been paid for,
which she did and started for the door.

then, cooking the weapon as the Chinese
made concerted rush at him, threatened
to Kill the first one who approached him.
In this manner the lady's retreat was COW

ordered to come along.
AT the police station he gave the name of
Charlie Hong, and complaint was sworn
before Justice Owens, and April IL was set
for him to plead. His fellow country
