Signor Perugini, the late husband of the muchly- married Lillian Rus sell, gives as his reason for his suit for divorce from the fair Lillian that she sat up too late at nights and that the festive game of poker has too fond fascination for her. If Sig cant find a better excuse for his suit, we hope the court will deny him a legal separation. It would be a bad precedent, and might flood the courts with divorce suits. Suppose all the women of the land were to bring suits against their bubbles who keep late hours at night and pursue with plan tom hope the elusive but fascinating game lof pokerl My, the result would be appalling.

Political Pollution

Under the above heading the Hot Springs News boldly discusses the political corruption of Garland county, and it dfscloses a very startling condition. The News says:
 "The News does not believe it makes an extravagant estimate when it says there are no less than 1 1000 men m Garland county who will sell their vote or tbeir "infu- ence" in elections, This is Q fearful declaration, but it is fully justified by evidence. Men who will sell their votes are dishonest. Being dishonest themselves, they aid in eleetin2 dishonest officials. This is @ self evident trutE, for no honest man will buy vote nor pay for po- litical "inHuence." " This wretched and disgraceful condition of things which exists in our country, is fast

A Prosperous and
 Progressive Shoe Factory.
Visit to the Plant of The Brown Shoe Company in St. Louis Proves Interesting Something About
 the Plant.

The growth of St, Louis as a manu- featuring and distributing point for shoes within the last ten or fifteen years, has been little less than mar vicious. It now stands unquestion- ably second in point of sales in the United States in this line, and at it's present rapid pace, willin 8 compar. atively short time overtake and dis. tance Boston, the premier city in the shoe trade.
 The wonderful growth of the ter ritory tributary to St. Louis, is of course, the main factor in the rapid extension of her trade, but the enterprise, sagacitv and energy of her merchants and manufacturers have unquestionably had @ great deal to do with this result.

 So complete is the stock of ready to-ship goods carried by The Brown Shoe Co., there being million dol lars worth of the product at all times on their foors-that it was possible to complete the big stock shipped to the J. B. Simon Go. in one consignment.

The Brown Shoe Go. has been fortunate in surrounding themselves with men of fresh, original and progressive ideas. They not only adopt the good things that others originate, but their factories are full of things which they have orig mated themselves. They are always willing to show visitors through their factories, and to one not ac- quainted with the process of modern shoe making, it is a rare treat.
 The product of these factories is sold from the Atlantic to the Pacific. and from Canada to the Gulf. Over fifty saIesmen are engaged in dis posing of the goods, and several of these salesmen each sell nearly $200, 100000 worth of goods per an mum. These goods are sold exten-

 Thelr well known trade mark (star star) stamped on the shank of their shoes has been since it's adoption, the sign manuel of a good shoe, meaning the best materials and the best workmanship which can be put into a product.

St. Louis, as well as one of the greatest in the country, is The Brown Shoe Company, an tllustra- tration of whose plant is presented herewith. The Brown Shoe Go. was founded over twenty years ago by George Warren Brown, nustling young man from the State of New York, who came west when scarcely out of his teens to seek his fortune.
 He was the first man in St. Louis to manufacture shoes in any quantities. and from the day he organized the company, of which he is now the head, "Progressioan has been a watchword full of earnest meaning.

 we kick about with so little thought. The numerous minute and separate operations brought upon one shoe in it's journey through the factory was a revelation. In the ordinary course, shoe, which seems SO simple when completed, passes through the hands of nearly 20A operatives, and the wonder seems to be that itshouId ever get through at all, not that once in a while some slight mistake should occur The equipment of these two great plants is perfect, and in some respects in advance of anything in the country.

This is plain talk but it is cold truth. It is justified by the rotten condition Of affairs prevailing in this county today. With all it's soul and gigor the News denounces the detes stable vote seller and vote buyer. They are out laws, they are thieves, they are thugs of the common herd. They are despoilers of public honor and of the public interests, They would, and do, rob each other, rob their friends, and plunder the public. The state prison is defrauded of its own as long as they run at large.

Three Negroes from Fu-

Macon, Ca, Nov. PA special to the
Telegraph from Monticello, Ga, says:
Ed Merriwether, the negro who was
lynched Tuesday, confessed before he
was hanged, to the murder of young
white man, and said three other ne
groes, Irwin CLANCY, Jake Glover and
Mary Ramey, assisted him. After dis
posing of Merriwether. the mob rushed
back to the jail to get the other negroes
who had been arrested on suspicion
Ropes were put around their necks and
they were dragged to the place where
Merriwether's bullet-riddled body was
hanging. A large number of citizens
had heard Of the effort to lynch the
other three negroes and they hurried to
the scene. 1t was only by the most
vigorous efforts that this lynching was
prevented. One of the negroes was
about to be drawn up on limb when
young white man jumped forward and
cut the rope. The mob then gave up
and the three negroes were turned over
to the sheriff. They are now in Jail.

FOREIGNERS BUY WHEAT.
Nearly Half the Stock in st. Louis Ele-

for Export.

st. Louis, Nov. s4.-The Republic

grain pit at the Merchants exchange
Friday morning, when it becomes gen
orally known that of the 500, ,074 bush
els of wheat in ST. Louis public ele-
vators. 65o,0oo bushels, or nearly one
half of the total stock, has been sold for
immediate shipment and will be loaded
out as fast as possible. OF this amount
100000 bushels will go by the river
the loading has already begun-and
$4,000 bushels will be shipped by rail.
Nearly all of this wheat is sold for ex-
port and bids have been received for
considerable more. Foreigners are
showing their anxiety to get wheat by
swapping at any offer within reason.
The only limit to the sales of st. Louis
exporters at present is the scarcity OF
cars and their inability to get vessel
room. The car famine is being felt by
all shippers and the railroads are un-
able to guarantee any special time for
shipment. -
