BALLOTS FOR JEFF DAVIS.

OHcial Announcement That the Dead
Confederate Received SO Votes.
jeff Davis, although gone, is not for
gotten by some of his former adheTents
in the south, as shown by the returns
for presidential electors at the election
held November ., 1896.
According to the provisions OF an act
of congress the secretary of state has
fled the certificates of the governor of
Arkansas showing that he has can
vassed and added up the votes cast for
the office of presidential and vice presi-
Dental electors at the election OF the
several counties of Arkansas on Tues
dav. November 8. After the names of
the eight electors who received the
highest number of votes cast, giving
the state to Bryan, there appears the
name JEFF Davis" with Sc votes to his
credit, for president and vice president.
It has been a matter of current his
tory for many years that some
old dyed-in-the-wool democrats are still
voting for Andrew Jackson in the
backwoods of Kentucky and Tennes-
see, but it remains for Arkansas to take
a new departure by casting votes for
the alleged president of the defunct
confederacy.

HOPES OF ESCULAPIUS.
DIR. Thomas Powell Claims to Have Ascer-
tanned the Laws of Life.

DIR. Thomas Powell Claims to Have Ascer-
tanned the Laws of Life.
What Esculapius sought after thou
sands of years ago and what his dis
ciples have constantly tried for since
then DR.. Thomas Powell asserts he
has discovered. He declares that he has
at last ascertained the laws of life, and
if his claims prove correct the human
race will install him as one of its great
est benefactors.
According to the theory of DIR. Pow
ell he has discovered way to insure
the system against the predisposition to
disease. But it is not his claims so
much that have provoked the interest
of science as his practical demonstra-
tons. For the last three days he has
inoculated himself with the germs of
consumption, diphtheria and typhoid
fever, yet he is perfectly healthy and
has suffered, he says, and rot the slight
est trouble from the experiments.
Science has decided that the system
in a perfectly healthy condition is i'm
nervous to the attacks of bacilli, but
beyond this point little if anything has
been known. DR.. Powell goes deeper
and says he believes he has discovered
the secret of gaining and continuing
the enjoyment of perfect health He
says he believes his discovery will have
the effect to make those diseases which
have been considered incurable durable,
and those durable cases eaiser to cure
than now.
DIR. Powell intends lecturing the early
part of next month on his discovery.

Report That Robinson Crusoe's
Island Had Disappeared Denied.
Capt. Slocum, the Noted American Skip
per, Touches at the Spot Made Fa-
NOUS In Fiction - Found Thirty
Five Families There.

Capt. Slocum, the American skipper
who is voyagfng around the world
alone in q small yawl, tells of his visit
To Robinson Crusoc's island, Juan Fer
nandez, off the coast OF Chill, on his
way across the Pacific. At Valparaiso
he had heard the reports that the is
lands had disappeared, but he found
them all right. He said there were
IS families on the island, prosperous
and happy. Robinson Crusoe's cave
was still intact. Capt. Slocum said the
report of the disappearance of the is
land originated with a Gillian skipper
who had been sent to the island with a
cargo of supplies for the inhabitants
there. Among the supplies was an as
sortment of spirits, and the skipper
freely helped himself. The result was
that from the moment the vessel left
Valparaiso he could not be sobered up
long enough to take an observation of
the sun and determine the position of
the ship and the course that should be
taken to reach the islands. None of the
crew except the drunken skipper under
stood navigation. The mate, after sail
ing about for several days in the spot
where he thought the islands should be,
turned the bow of his vessel toward the
east and, picking up some landmarks
along the coast, found his way back to
port The drunken skipper for an ex-
cuse for the failure of his voyage said
