Derby day dawned dark and gloomy

sandy soil of the track absorbed IL. how

and a half slow when the bell sounded.
The field was sent away in the first break
with Lieber Karl in front, Isabey second,
Plaudit third and Han Dor fourth. These
positions were maintained as they went
around the lower turn, and when they
were Strengthened out in the back
stretch Lieber Karl was a length and a
half in 'front.'. while Sims had brought
Plaudit up to second place. Down the
home stretch they went. and as the
horses passed for the fina time Sims
went to work on Plaudit and no thor
oughbred ever responded better. Each
stride enabled him to cut down the dis
lance, and when they faced the wire i'm

length the advantage, with Plaudit still
lessening the distance. They were on even

THE U S SENATORS Should Not Be Elected By A Direct
 Vote of The People.

The court house was crowded with a interested and appreciative audience last night, to hear de- bate we'll discussed and ably ham, dled by tbe members of the orator ical association. The subject for the evening was: Resolved That U. s. Senators should be elected by direct vote of the people" The affirmative had for it's defenders H. K. Toney, E. J. Kerwin, and A. Powell.
 These gentlemen spoke until ac. tualIy they were hoarse trying to convince the judges they were right.
 The negatives, who were the suc- cessful debaters, were Messrs W. Seymore, Creed Caldwell, and M. Blum. These gentlemen put forth one of the finest arguments ever heard in the court house walls. Their points were well directed and based chiefly on the constitution of the. United States.
 The judges, who were Messrs F. B. Sapp, Judge Harrison and W. J. Monk, remained in consultation a lengthy period and found it very difficult matter to decide. After a very convincing discussion, the yer dict, as we stated above, was given the negatives.
 A motion was made by MT. Ben J. Altheimer that Mr. F. s. Gunter, who is now a resident of Little Rock, be made an honorary member. The motion was carried.
 Master Jere Harrison rendered very fine Reclamation, which re- ceived great applause.
 Mr. Tom Atkinson was also en- thusiastically appIauded after giv- ing a select reading.

RELIC OF THE STONE AGE.
Prehistoric Cemetery Found Near a Ger

Prehistoric Cemetery Found Near a Ger
man Town.
The discovery at Worms of burying
ground belonging to the later stone age by
DIR. Koehl, the conservator of the Paulus
museum there, Is, in view Of the rarity of
such graves, an important archaeological
event. Up to the present about 20 graves
have been examined or only part of this
burying ground of neolithic man, and al
ready the number Of the vessels found
most of them very tastefully ornamented,
exceeds 100. Not the slightest trace Of a
metal has as yet been discovered in the
graves; on the other hand, the presence Of
arm rings Of blue and gray slate is curious
In the most recently opened graves Of wo-
men three arm rings made of slate were
removed from the upper arm of one skele-
ton, four from that of another and six
from the lower arm Of third skeleton. In
mans grave there was on tho neck of
the skeleton small conically polished Or
nament of syenite, not perforated, but pro-
vided with a groove for the string. The
other ornaments from the graves consist
of pearls, mussel shells made in the form
of trinkets, perforated boars' tusks and
small fossil musses. These ornaments
were worn by men and women alike.
1Hero eAlsucu, aCCOrulnB 10 UnlS, every
kind of ornament In that time of want Of
metal made Of stone, mussels and bones.
Ruddle and ocher fragments, which were
used for tattooing and coloring the skin,
are also frequent.
In hardly single case was there miss
ing from the women's graves the primitive
corn mill consisting of two stones, the
grinding stone and the grain crusher. The
mems graves contain weapons and imple-
ments, all of stone, with whetstones and
homes for sharpening purposes. They con-
sist of perforated hammers, sharpened
hatchets, axes and chisels, as well as of
knives and scrapers OF flint. That there
was no want of food Is shown by the many
vessels, often six or eight in one grave,
and the remains of food found near them,
the latter being bones of various kinds Of
animals. Several successful photographs
have been taken of the skeletons as they
lie in the graves with their belongings, SO
that their appearance after a repose of
thousands of years can be preserved for all
time. Especial value may bo attached to
these remains, and particularly to the
skulls.-Berlin Letter in London Stand

swell, Frankly" said Mr.. Billtops
| "you've heard of showers of bullfrogs and
fishes and that sort Of thing, know, but
| you never heard of its raining trees, did
| your Out west once-way out west by
| the Rocky mouptains--the inhabitants
were surprised one day To- SEQ tree coming
down out Of the sky. This happened q
number Of times and people got more and
more surprised about II, and accounts Of
it got into the newspapers. Some OF these
accounts said there were showers of trees,
and, take it altogether, there was O great
deal of interest over II, as you can easily
imagine, and people wondered greatly
what it could mean.
"But 1t was simple enough. One Of the
residents Of the region, going along one
day In most remote part of the country,
saw great giant walking along the
mountains. He was a most stupendous,
colossal giant, whose natural walk carried
him along from mountain top to mountain
top just as you or would walk along on
the stones In cobblestone paved street.
OF course 1t was very pleasant to be as big
as that when he wanted to walk around
among the mountains, but when he wanted
to lie down suppose he must have had to
come down on the plains-that is, II he
wanted to lie out straight. But this isn't
telling you about the trees.
ut seems that this giant was exceed
lngly neat. He was very careful about
his clothes, and he wouldn't even sit down
In dusty place without first dusting It
off. You've seen boys in their good clothes
take out their handkerchief and dust off

this giant used to do the same thing, only
instead of using handkerchief he used

by the trunk and brush the place off with

duster, and when he'd got through dusting
he wouldn't put the tree In his pocket like
you would a handkerchief. but he'd just
give 1t q toss. Sometimes 1t would fall
near by; sometimes, when 1t happened to
be caught by wind current 1t might be
carried long distance before 1t fell 1t
was such trees as these that came, nobody
knew how or whence, that people had
wondered at so much.
"When they discovered where the trees
did come from, they got up petition and
sent 1t to the giant asking him not to
throw his trees around In that way, be-
cause you see, it was more or less of an
annoyance to folks to have trees coming
down like that, but the giant never paid
the slightest attention to 1t, and the trees
kept coming just the same, but the people
felt easier about 1t than they did before,
for we are all less disturbed by things we
know about than we are about things we
don't understand. New York Sun.

neighbors' chicken coops, but for all that
he was good pet. He was as playful as

water, and the coon would amuse himself
by the hour. And like sweetest Well, you
