KANSANS RETALIATE.
New York Volunteers Repaid for In
suits to JaYhaWkers.

Camp Merriam, San Francisco, Aug.
15.-Camp Merriam came near being
the scene of an outbreak Saturday. Ev-
er since the Kansas. Iowa and TenneS-
see regiments moved over near the
New York recruits, the Empire state
boys have dropped numerous remarks
ridtculing the drills and appearance of
put I'D a drill that sends cold chills
so fortunate as to witness them, these
remarks. such as Jays" 'Rubes,
"Greenies,'' Farmers and ''Yaps,"
have been uncalled for and come with
exceeding poor grace from the SaplingS
and dudes that the Workers have shown
themselves to be.
About 8 o'clock a. crowd of angered
and indignant Jayhawkers, Hawkeyes
and Tennessee boys marched through
the Kansas camp to the fasteners
quarters and commenced jOllying the
some 5000, and the 200 aristOcrats were
in a painful minority. The crowd, in
cenSed at the indignities the Workers
had hurled at them, became wildly eX-
cited, and serious trouble seemed immi-
nent. The half dozen New York
guards, with their dainty white gloves
and petite little forms, shOuldered their
pOpguns and beat a hasty retreat.
Lieutenant Colonel Little, command
ing in Colonel FunstOn's absence, at
once ordered out Company L, with di-
rections to clear the street. The com
pany soon appeared, and with fixed
bayOnets charged the crowd, which fell
back kissing loudly. They refused to
disperSe, however, and congregated out
side the gates, hOoting anG yelling
wildly. No serious consequences.

ON THE CAR TRUCKS.
OIof Swanson of La Junta Finds
Drafts and Checks Amount
ing to 1926.

La Junta. Aug. 15-OIof Swanson.
who is employed on the rip track, made
a "KlOndike find" yesterday morning,
while working on the Santa Fe freight
car No. 1921. he discovered an old
pocketbOOk underneath the mandrill
pin of the trucks. 1t was weather.
beaten and dilapidated and had evil
IDENTIFY been there for some months. An
examination of the contents brought to
light two cashiers checks, one for 1925
and another for 500, issued by E. w.
Hubbard, assistant cashier of the Boat
mans Bank, of st. Louis, in favor of
Rufus A. Lewis. Both checks were da-
ted May II, 1897.
There was also a receipt for a de-
post, made out by John F. Donovan
Commission company to Rufus A Lew
is, dated May IL, 1897. Two railroad
tickets were also found. They were is
sued June Is, 1897, and good for 80 days
over the St. Louis & San Francisco rail-
way from St. Louis to Crescent.
The checks and drafts are all over a
year old, and are probably worthless
at this time.
Swanson seems to be doubtful wheth-
er he is in luck or not. The collateral
at one time represented 1925, but proba-
bly, is not worth the paper it is written
on at present. The finder will await
developments with a great deal of in
t6reSt.

effects of injuries received by being
knocked from a freight train.

the rails. He was removed to the Mis-
souri, Pacific hospital, and for a time
it seemed that he would recover. but a

PUBLISH THE LAWS.

Candidates for representative should find out where they are "at" on the question of printing the acts of the general assembly in county papers, and tell the people their views on this important question. The laws enacted by each legislature could be published in 8 paper in every county in the state aU very small cost, and would obviate the necessity for such q large number Of printed journals, that are of no benefit to the great majority of Ar kansas citizens and that only en- |cumber space in the state library Waldron Reporter.
 No matter if it should cost q few thousand dollars to publish the acts, the common people should have an opportunity to read them without going to the expense of purchasing a book. The knowledge of what the laws prohibit and the penalty for a violation would often prevent crime. Every citizen and taxpayer has the right to know what the law is, and it is not reasonable to expect every one to buy the acts in book form. The entire issue of the acts usually provided for by the legisla7 ture would be insufficient to supply tine citizens of a single county. It will therefore be only answering the public demand to publish the laws in at least one paper i'll each county, at the expense of the state government. Arkansas Democrat.

ADVERTISING HINTS.
(From the Advertising Worldl

The best returns follow the best advertising.
 It's never too late to turn over q new leaf.
 Look out for the interest of your customers but don't neglect your own.
 Don't let the advertising grow uD7 interesting through February. Busi- ness is not so brisk, so you'll have to push for it.
 The merchant who gave q small per cent. of his sales in a certain line of his business to a well-known char ity, says it was very good invest ment. C
 Those who expect to do business like circus should advertise like a circus. They must also expect to have rainy days when business is not so good.
 In getting business remember its the best policy to treat the new eus- toners just as well as you do the old, and in holding business it's policy to treat the old customer as well asyou do the new.

J. A. Langford for Circuit Clerk

By reference to our announce ment column, the name of MT. James A. Langford will be found therein as a candidate for circuit clerk, subject to the action of the Democratic primaries. MT. Lang
 ford has adopted this course in re- sponse to the solicitations of his many friends. Ills qualifications for the office will be at once receg- nized and conceded. He served as deputy circuit clerk under H. A. Mccoy during the latUer's first term. H has also held clerical positions in the Secretary of States office and also in the Governors office, and at the last session of the State Gener. al Assembly was elected Journal Clerk of the House over formidable opposition. All of these positions MT. Langford has held with satisfac- tion to his employers and credit to himself. He is at present the rep -esen tative of the Waters-Pierce Oil Co, in this city, position he has capably filled to the satisfaction of the many customers or that com pany. As We before remarked, Mir. Langford is eminently qualified for the position to which he aspires, and should he be nominated and elected, will make the people an efficient, ac- commodating and obliging circuit clerk.

J. s. Little for Congress.

The announcement of the Hon. John s. Little, of Sebastian county, as candidate for re-nomination and reelection to Congress from this, the Second District of Arkansas, will be found in today's issue of the GRAPHIC. Judge Little is we'll known to the people of this District, having made three successful can vases for the sutfrages of the peo- pie for that office, and is personally known to nearly every voter of the District, therefore he needs no elab- crate mention at our hands. Suffice it to say that during his term of of flee he has been loyal to the doc trines upon which he was first elect ed, and as expressed in the Chicago platform, and that at all times he has made the people an energetic Congressman, and has always been wide-awake and watchful of the in- terests of his district. Among the bills he has championed are bill to prohibit the sale of liquors in the capitol building at Washington, a bill for the erection of a government building at Pine Bluff, and appro- priations for the army and navy hospital at Hot Springs. He has also served as a member of the Com mittee on Indian affairs, and by req son of his familiarity with the con ditlon of the Red Man in the Indian Territory, has rendered distinguish ed services to his country, being universally recognized as one of ahe best informed men on Indian affairs in Congress. Judge Little's past course in Congress is an earnest of. what may be expected of him in the future. and, should he be re-nomi- mated and reelected, he will serve the people of this district with the same faithfulness and fidelity as in the past.
