UNSCRUPULOUS.

News came to the city this after noon of some of the unscrupulous tricks the Phillips forces are resort. ing to to mislead the people in the country townships. For instance, in Mccoy districts they have circu- lated rumOrs that on the day of the primary Mccoy will withdraw in favor of Phillips to defeat Brewster. and in Brewster districts they are circulating the report that Brewster won't get any vote in the town fnot withstanding Brewster lacked only GA votes of receiving as many vote In the May primary as Phillips and Mccoy put together, and will on to- morrow increase his vote) and there fore, the country voters should vote for Phillips to defeat Mccoy.
 This is a fair sample of the Phil lips campaign-the man who has been put up as "modeP' candidate and the only ''elean man" tor sheriff
 Such double faced and treacherous practices should be frowned upon by the people. A man who seeks to de- ceive the people in order to get office cannot be "clean man."

About Republicans.

TIE Courier, MT. Phillips organ, said something ia it's last issue about Republicans voting for Brewster in the last primary. We notice now that Mir. Phillips is cultivating the Republican vote. For instance, be had appointed as ais judge of the election in the First Ward Mr Ed. Moore, Republican and a member of the old A. c. Thompson Republican club. We are informed that Mr. Moore's name has been withdrawn, and MT, Frank Fortuns's name substituted. Ia Vaugine township Mr. R. w. Huff has been appointed Mr. Phillips representative. The GRAPHIC has been informed today by a number of leading Republicans that both MT. For tune and Mir. Huff are mem bers of the Republican party and that their names appear Oh the list Of Republican voters. Afidavits to this effect can be produced If de- sired.

FIRST ARKANSAS REGIMENT
May go to the Far-away Phillip
 ines.

The following article we clip from the Hot Springs Daily News:
 The News learns that Mir. Fin Parker received a telegram this morning from his son, Lieut.. Wesley Parker, of Capt. Wootten s company, stating that the First Arkansas Regiment has been or dered to San Francisco at once, to go with Gen. Merritt to the Phillip pine Islands. Capt. Wootten's s company is the first company in the regiment. Our boys are thus taken a long ways from home and may have to remain in these distant islands a year or two, and may be longer. From San Francisco they will have long, tiresome and dangerous sea voyage to reach Manila.
 The Jefferson Fencibles are also part of the First Arkansas Regi- inert.

modern policeman does not proclaim his coming to the evil doer by shouting or by carrying lantern. He does his work more quietly and effectively than the oldfash- toned town watchman.
 1t is thus that in all the walks of life and in all occupations, times change and knowl- edge and efficiency increase. In this re- spect medical science has kept pace with the advance in other lines. Physicians and chemists have grown rapidly more skillfui. There are medicinal preparations nova days that cure diseases that were few years ago considered absolutely incurable. The final triumph in this respect IS Dr Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It was first given to the world thirty years ago, and has stood the test ever since that time. It cures o8 per cent. of all cases ot consumption, bronchial, throat and kindred affections Thousands who were hopeless sufferers, and had been given up by the doctors. have testified to its marvellous merits It is the great blood maker and flesh builder It makes the appetite nearsy, the digestion and assimilation perfect, the liver active, the blood pure and rich with fhe life. giving clements of the food, and the nerves strong and steady. It acts directly on the lungs and air-p passages, driving out all impurities and disease germs.

A MIRACLE
That the Fire at the Opera
 House Didn't End Seriously.

Last night Ut the opera house the nunciation Academy were in prog ress, when. during the second part and just as the calcium lights were being thrown on the scene of the 'Tabieau of Virgins" q wing of one of the "angels" caught on fire and panic ensued. It was thought to he the scenery. Some people rushed to the stage to get their children who were participating in the exercises. Ladies fainted, and men rushed with their children and wives to the doors. Some went through the windows, and others sat still who were too frightened to move. The excitement prevailed for few min- utes, when the stage hands succeed ed in tearing away the burning wing and extinguishing the flames. Officers Roaritv and Francis sue ceeded in keeping the crowd calm, and after all was over everybody re- turned to their seats.
 The exercises continued as though nothing had happened. It was in- deed u miraculous escape. The only damage done was few bruised bodies
 The most ridiculous act of the evening was the placing of chairs in the aisles. If the fire should have been disastrous one, one-half of the people would have been caught in the burning structure on account of the chairs that blockaded the aisles.
 We are very glad to state that the fire was quickly extinguished and nothing serious happened.

PHILIPPINE CONDITIONS
Advices From Dewey Show Notable
Improvement

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-The navy de-
partment has received cablegram from
Admiral Dewey summarizing the existing
conditions at Manila and such points in
the Philippines as have been visited by his
officers. Advices also have been received
from General Otis, the commandant of the
United States military forces in the islands,
and they both go to show notable improve
ment in conditions and the growth of bet
ter spirit among the factions Of the natives
which promised to give trouble This fact
is particularly gratifying, as the United
States government is already giving con.
siderable attention to the best means at
hand to redeem the pledge it was placed un-
der by the treaty of Paris to secure the re-.
lease of the Spanish prisoners held by the
Philippine natives. There are about 500 cler-
ical prisoners, and the government is conf,
dent that heir captors will deliver them up
en- proper representations from General
Otis and Admiral Dewey, made, possibly,
through Consul Wildman. 1t may be neces.
sary to call the navy into service in this
matter, for the reason that some of the pris.
oners are held in captivity on other islands
than uzon, which can be reached best
and most effectively by Admiral Dewey's
ships. I.
Besides these clerical prisoners, the Amer.
leans themselves hold nearly $4,000 Spanish
soldiers as prisoners, men captured at the
fall of Manila. These are actually on parole
about the city, and the question is how are
they to be returned to Spain. This must
be settled by the peace commissioners at
Paris.

CHASING GILLETT
But the Cattle Man Keeps Getting
Farther Away

KANSAS CITY, Dec. GA dispatch to
the Journal from chihuahua, Mexico, states
that Grant c. Gillett, the fugitive Kansas
cattle man, has disappeared from the vicin.
ity of chihuahua and is now believed to be
either in the City of Mexico or at Mazatlan,
on the Pacific coast, or en- route to South
America. ,-e-- e
For ten days previous to his disappear
ance, the dispatch says, Gillett found refuge
on the ranch of j. NJ. Fisher, sixty miles
south of Durango. Fisher is a former Kan
san, whose career in Kansas was not unlike
that of Gillett He failed in the banking
business at Abilene in 1889, and the bank
has since paid only five per cent on deposits
amounting to 100000.
Gillett and his companion, the Texas law
yer named Troxel, disappeared when they
learned that detectives from Kansas City
were close upon their trail. The dispatch
states that c. A. Shelter, the Kansas City
commission man who went south with the
detectives, succeeded in attaching several
thousand dollars which Gillett had deposit
ed in Mexican bank at Torreon, Mexico,
and that he also attached trunks which
Cillett had checked at Durango. The
amount of money which Mr. Shelter tied
up cannot be learned, but it is believed to
be only a few thousand dollars.
