FIXED FOR THE SETTLEMENT OF THE P0sT0FFICE
 FIGHT.
The Contest Narrowed Down To Ferd Havis and Oscar
 Spellman.

The postofiee fight is now assum- ing the acute stage
 The Republican State Central Com mittec recently in session at Little Rock postponed further consider ation of the matter until April the 18th, at which time the claims of the aspirants will be taken up, and the one receiving the endorsement of the Republican County Central Commit tees CT the greatest number of indi vidual endorsements by the members of Che committee, will be recommend cd by the State Central Committee for appointment.
 This action of the State Committee has had the effect of practically ellm- inatlng several applicants. who are understood to stand no show with the County Committee, and 1t Is un- iersto0d in Republican circles that theeontest has now been narrowed down to Ferd Havls and MT. Oscar spellman.
 Spcllman has not heretofore been considered an applicant, but he has been selected as the strongest man with whom to defeat lFerd Havis, and in the event of Mr. spellman's appointments, lie will move from his plantation at Lake Farm to this city, where he will make his home.
 Both Havis and Spellman are old line and straight Republicans, and the contest gives every promise of being a hot and bitter one.

Van Rnren Venture Thinks There Should
 He Law Against it.
 We again ask if there is not a law in the great State of Arkansas pro- hibiting swearing in public places? We are of the opinion that there is. and if we are right, then the law is daily violated by the officers us well as other people. The officer who violates one law knowingly. in order that he may indulge the vile habit of swearing, is likely to violate some other law And another thing about an officer violating law. The people are aw are of his weakness and do not hesitate to violate a law in his presence when they know he has been guilty of the same crime. So 1t is with swearing. Men and boys swear when they please, be- cause they know the officers are guilty of the same offense and dare not arrest them. This Is an outrage upon the morality of the State of Arkansas, and should be put stop to.-Nan Buren Venture.

When a fish in an aquarium is ailing
or injured, it is put into II reserve tank,
out of sight of the visitors, and where
it can be looked after at any time The
circulation of the tank is adjusted wit
great nicely to give the fish the greatest
possible amount of water, and with tn
constant renewal of water the greatest
possible amount Of fresh air. A fresh
water fish may be treated with salt wa
ter baths. The fish is fed on the food
best suited 10 its condition OF most like
ly to suit its fancy,
1t may lie on the bottom of the tank
motionless for hours, like sick person

dead, but closer inspection will show

which marks the fish S respiration. Aft

WOULDN'T BURN HIS BOOTS.
Though lie Didn't Mind tho Eject on
His Stomach.


After he had sold his load of wood
md had received -. 20 fer it he strolled
over To the little combination billiard
parlor and barroom on the other side Of
the square. His faded old eyes lighted
up and his new cowhide boots, larded
generously in grease, squeaked exult-
antly as he thought of that drink he
had been planning to get ever since he
left the farm ut daybreak.
"Jcst one old snifter
OF that good old litter"
he cooed to himself, "and I'll be primed
ter start fer home.
About one finger of that old red eye
will do the bizness, l calculate" he
confided to the bartender, as he pulled
a foverish red mitten from his right
hand and jammcd it down in his
man-never was-but when it's so cold
outside yer breath freezes ter t'waggin
wheels yes got ter resort ter some pow
erful remedy ter thaw it out. "
The bartender agreed with him. For
months he had watched the old farmers
come III, order just one finger of whis-
ky and drink whole handful of fin
gers for the manifestly unfair expendi-
ture of 10 cents He had decided to put
a stop to it, and the farmer with the
new cowhide boots was the first victim.
The remedy he placed before him was
powerful enough to thaw the Yukon.
The cid man poured his glass full-just
as the bartender knew he would-and
gulped it down in one big swallow.
The effect was instantaneous. The vie
tim gave one convulsive shudder, look
cd reproaohtully ut the bartender and
whirl,d around four times. Then he
sat down ani hastily began to pull off
his cowhido boots.
"What the mischief are you doing
that for:" inquired the astonished bar
tender.
Cant yc see them's brand new
boots?" gasped the victim. "D'yc think
I'm goin ter let them burn up tew?'-

The Wilmerding School
Site Question Under
Discussion.
University Regents and Citi-
zens' Committee in Con.
ference.

Committees appointed by the Mer-
chants Association and the Regents of the
university met at Mayor Phelan's
Office yesterday to confer on the subject OF
site for. the Wilmerding School Of In
dustrial Arts.
The committee selected by the associa-
ton consisted of William Aivord. a. s.
Baldwin. A. Bouvier, James Britton,
John Center, Charles +. Crocker. Henry
J. Crocker, Horace Davis, Wendell Eas-
ton, l.. r. Ellert C. F. Fargo. James l..

Joseph Leggett, E. j. McCutchen, James d.
PheIan, E. B. Pond, Irving M. Scott, Van
derlynn Stow, Levi Strauss and Adolph
Sutro.
The committee of Regents consisted Of
Messrs. Phelps, Rodgers, Slack and
Denicke.
At the last meeting of the Board oi
Regents John Budd, a brother of the
Governor, gave notice that he would in
troduce q re solu ton at the'next gathering
to rescind the action making San Fran
cisco the site of the school, and it was to
anticipate this action and head it of II
possible that yesterdays meeting was
held.
1t was determined to leave no stone un-
turned to havs the school located here,
and to this end the following resolution
was prepared and adopted:
WHEREAS, The Board of Regents Of the Uni.
versity of California has located the wilmer
ding School of Industrial Arts in San Fran.
cisco; and whereas, it is the desire OF the
citizens of San Francisco to assist the Regents
in successfully carrying out the wishes OF the
donor, therefore be 1t
Reso ved. That q committee of four citizens
be appointed by the Mayor to formulate plans,
in cooperation with the committee OF the
Board of Regents, for securing and rendering
site and report to this body.
The efforts oY Stockton 70 get the insti.
tuition are not thought 10 carry much
weight. as the Regent on whom Mr.. Budd
relies 10 aid him in resembling the action
is San Francisco man. not in favor Of
Stockton, but rather of Berkeley. In vlew
of the fact that the faculty OF the univor.
sity does not desire the Wilmerding School
located there, opposition to the college
town is quito likely to develop to oven q
greater degree than 1t now exists and leave
San Francisco still with clear field.
The giving OF q site by tho citizens oi
San Francisco places this City on An
equal footing in this respect with the
school, and Mr.. Wilmerding's unques.
toned preference for San Francisco will
doubtless win the day.
Mayor Pheian appointed the following
committee, to which he was added ~ an
ex-oficio member: Messrs. Irving II
Scott (chairmanl F. w. Dohrmann, Ed
ward B. Pond and A. S. Baldwin. The
com mittee decided to hold an early meet
ing and report back TO the main body.
