greatest Minstrel company travelling,
embracing, as it does, seventy OF the
most prominent minstrel stars Of the
day, while the most novel
American and European speciality

nificent scenic spectacle of mythol

out old-fashioned minstrel first part.
More money has been spent upon
this monarchial scene than was
spent on the old time minstreIshows
in entirety. The stage settings are
regal in their maghiicence, while
the Court CONSUMES that are used
are historically correct and in keep
ing with the tone of elegance that
peryades the whole scene.
The vocal part of the entertain
ment is said to be superior to any

SENATOR JONES
WRITES A LETTER TO THE
GRAPHIC.
Thanks the People of Pine Bluff for
Their Liberal Contributions to
the Campaign Fund.
He Feels absolutely Certain of
Bryan's Success.

During the present campaign the
GRAPHIC campaign fund reached
$105.25. The sum of $l04 IS was re-
mitted to Mr.. w r. Hearst, OF the
New York Journal, who duplicated
the amount and turned it over te
the National Democratic Committee.
After these contributions were sent
in, another enthusiastic Bryan man
con attributed 80 cents, which was
sent direct to the Chairman Of the
National Democratic Committee.
Saturday the editor or the GRAPH
Io received a letter OF acknowle3 ge-
ment from Chairman J. X. Jones,
who expresses his appreciation Of
the liberal contributions made by
the people of this community and
State, and also expressed his belief
Of the absolute certainty Of Bryan's
success.
The letter is as follows:
CHICAGO, ILL, Oct. Is, 1896.
Hon. J W. Adams, Pine Blur. Ark,
My Dear Adams Your letter en-
closing fifty cents ia stamps is re-
ceived. The other contributions
have no doubt found their way to
the Journal fund regularly and have
been turned in. I assure you that
l appreciate very highly indeed the
spirit which prompts our people at
home to make the contributions to
the campaign fund which they have
forwarded. / know that many of
them are not really IA a financial
condition to afford these contribu-
tions, and yet they come up from all
parts of the State. Idon't believe
that any people have responded
more literally in proportion to their
means than have the good people of
my own State. | shall always re-
member gratefully these expressions
of their confidence.
l feel absolutely certain of
Bryan's success, don't think we
will lose a Southern State; we will
carry the West beyond the Missouri
river, solidly This will give us 217
votes, and leave seven to win for
success. l believe that Minnesota
will be with us, with 8 votes; | have
no doubt of Michigan with II, aud
I am sure we will carry Indiana with
Is. This makes a total of 80 votes
in three States, where we need Z to
win if we hold the South and West
as | anticipate. Our friends are
confident that we will carry Iowa.
Many are claiming Wisconsin, Hi
nois and Ohio. OF course, all these
rosy anticipations cannot be realiz-
ed; but l have 10 doubt chat enough
of them will be realized tic insure
our success.
I hope you and the GRAPHIC are
fiourishing, and that the good peo-
pie of Pine Bluff are well and happy.
Very Sincerely Yours,
JAMES K. JONES,
Chairman.

Bryan's Rotten Egg Argument.

As a contribution to financial and
economic thought the following utter
ance of Mr.. Bryan, made in Kentucky,
is the most remarkable yet offered even
by him:
"If any man in this community would
offer to buy all the eggs produced at 20
cents a dozen and was able to make
good the offer, nobody would sell eggs
for less, no matter what the cost OF
production, whether cent or B cents q
dozen. So with silver. Free coinage
would establish the market price OF sill
yer at $l.29, and nobcdy would sell it
for cent less
WHY limit the price Of eggs to 30
cents and of silver to $1.29? If the rea-
soning is sound, the price in each case
might easily be doubled, and the conse-
ouent benefit to the human race CORE
spondingly increased And why stop
with eggs and silver? Why not mark up
the price of everything you wish to
buy-offer to pay double or treble what
is asked for it and keep OH paying that
price to all comers-hold 1t there!
That's all you have to do-hold it
there. Nobody would sell it for cent
less" says Bryan, so long as You held
il. $50 with silver" And the man
who is putting forth such thought as
this is a candidate for the presidency OF

Captain Harris of Cunning, Neb., told
the writer laughable story the other day,
and, as the name of the immortal Lincoln
is connected with it, 1t is worthy of repeti-
ton. In 1879 or 1850 the captain was a
lad of IL or -, living at his parental home
somewhere in Illinois-Christian county,
if remember rightly. That old home was
often visited by Lincoln as he journeyed to
and fro attending TO legal business, and 10
was also mu frequentcd by the preachers.
One day Lincoln and n preacher, having
left their horses htched at short distance
from the door, were in the house at the
same time. Tie preachers horse was very
old and miserably poor. The other boys,
led on by the captain, who must have been
a mischievous youth, gathered dozen or
more stout sticks and propped up that cid
horse. Wherever projecting bone gave
opportunity they set a prop, and Dobbin
stood stock Fill, as If he thought some
thing of the Kind necessary. Then the lads
retired and watched from covert. Pres
emily Lincoln and the preacher came down
the walk together, and when Lincoln saw
what the boys had done he was convulsed
with laughter. Pointing to the horse he
said, "No one but preacher, supported as
preachers are in this part Of the country,
would have Thought Of keeping up his
horse that way. "-Housekeeper.

And this Turk related how he had lived
three years In that region on behalf OF the

they got them was by digging in that
mountain till they found certain vein.
The substance of this vein was then taken

they set forth to dry. When dry, these
