Timely warning.
To The Ardmoreite.

QOu cONeC the reputation
of being puritanic, hut as an
officer of the law and on ac-
count of the anomalous condi-
ton of affairs in this jurisdic
ton. | deem it my duty to call
the attention of the public to
he habit of violating the Sun
day laws in and about Ard
more.
/ assume that many we'll dis
posed people are laboring un-
der the mistaken idea that we
have no Sunday laws here to
violate.
By an act of congress chap
ter 40 of Mansfeld's Digest of
the laws of Arkansas was made
the law of this Territory.
If you find in that chapter a
law providing for the arrest,
trial and punishment of persons
for doing certain things on Sun
day, then rest assured that per
sons can be arrested and pun
ished for doing those things on
Sunday in Ardmore. There are
as good and pure people in Ard
more as in any of the states,
and they are entitled to the pro-
lection of the law. The whole
people, good, bad and indiffer-
ent. have a right to have that
law enforced.
Six days and nights out of
seven, in a busy town like Ard
more, are enough for a man to
earn a living in. and he should
rest on the seventh. There are
trades. ealiings and professions
that are as Indispensable on the
seventh day as any other, and
the law makes a provision for
such. Complaints have come to
me from various sources, and
public sentiment will rise en-
masse unless there is less of it
from now on.
For the information of those
who perhaps have thought there
was no law against Sabbath
breaking. | will ask you to pub
lish a section or two.
Section 1887. chapter 45, at
page 487, reads as follows:
Every person who shall on
Sunday keep open any store or
retail any goods, wares or mer-
chandise. or keep open any dram
shop or grocery, or sell or retail
any spirits or wine, shall on
conviction thereof be fined in
any sum not less than ten dol
lars nor more than twenty"
There are ten sections of this
law, commencing on page 1876
of Mansfeld's Digest of the
Laws of Arkansas, that inter
ested parties will do well to read
and observe.
The worst viOlators of the
Sunday law in Ardmore are the
joint keepers. As a rule they
gather IN lot of the worst char
acters, and behind locked doors
plot, plan and drink, and when
night comes proceed to execute
their plans. We may not all
agree as 10 the benefcence of
this or that law, but let us stand
together and enforce the law as
we find it, for if we do not the
lawless will prevail and the good
name of the town will fade away.

u. 5. Commissioner.

Notwithstanding all reports

claimed another victim at Z

noble young man had passed

the one great and popular work called
forth by this wonderfully interesting
national episode. Whatever Senator
Ingalls, touches he adorns; aud this
book shines and sparkles in the light

worthy of his genius, and will be a
monument to his fame. The subject
now 30 engrosses the public mind as to
forecast for this book a sale that will

DIR. WrIghtsman Lecture.

The lecture was illustrated with
many impressive experiments. Elec.
tricity was known to the ancienta for
more than two thousand years before
the Christian era. Attractions and re.
pulsion was strikingly illustrated by
means of suspended bodies. Tiny
charges were registered by means of q
very delicate gold-leaf electroscope
A little girl was placed on an i2sulat-
ed platform before the audience and
her body was shown to be polarized,
as was proven by the divergence Of the
delicate gold leaves. The little girl
was shown to be quite strongly cleo
trified by combing her hair. The prin.
ciples and the utility of lightning rods
were satisfactorily explained. One
beautiful experiment was the ignition
of ether by means OF the electric spark
The electrophorus made Of tin and
sealing wax Illustrated impressively
the polarity of electricity. 1t was able
to give the little girl quite spark on
her nose. At the closing of the lecture
many persons in the audience availed
themselves Of the opportunity Of tax
ing shock from the powerful static
electrical machine. One hour and a
half quickly passed before the audience
were scarcely aware Of it.
