NO POLICEMEN NEEDED.
Only Two TheEts In Iceland In a Thousand
 Years.

 0nls Two FheEts In Iceland In Thousand
 Years.
 In Iceland there are no prisons, and the inhabitants are so honest in their habits that such defenses to property aa locks, bolts and bars are not required, nor are there any police in the island. Yet its history for 1000 years records no moro than two thefts. Of these two cases one was that of a native, who wae detected after stealing several sheep, but as he had done so to supply his fam fly, who were suffering for want of food, when he had broken his arm, pro, visions were furnished to them and work was found for him when able to do it, and meanwhile he was placed un- der medical care, but tho stigma attach ed to his crime was considered sufficient punishment
 The other theft WAS by German, who stole IT sheep
 But as he was in comfortable circum- stances and the robbery was malicious the sentence passed upon him was that he should sell all his property, restore tho value of what he had stolen and then leave the country or be executed, and he left at once. But though crime is rare in Iceland and it's inhabitants are distinguished for honesty and puri- ty of morals there is, of course, provi- sion for tho administration of justice, which consists, first of all, in the sher- iff's courts; next. by appeals to the court of three judges at Reikiavik, the capital, and lastly in all criminal and most civil cases to the supreme court at Copenhagen, tho capital of Denmark, of which kingdom the island forms a part. The island of Panaris, one of the Lipari group, is equally fortunate in having neither prisons nor lawyers and being absolutely destitute of both paupers and criminals. Boston Transcript.

Versatile Dr. Bedloe.

Among the accomplishments of Dr. Edward Bedloe of Philadelphia the American consul at Canton, China, is remarkable skill in mimicry. He can initiate with his voice the accent and mannerisms of speech of all the leading actors and orators as we'll as a number of musical instruments. His limitations of the twanging of a banjo are exceed ingly accurate Some years ago Dr. Bedloe was in a room at the Press club when several guests were being enter tained in an adjoining apartment. He had been with the party, but had ex- cused himself on the plea that he want ed to get his banjo He proceeded to play" a medley and did the imitation so well that the guests would not be. heve ho had not actually performed on all instrument until he repeated the imitation in their presence. He is, moreover, q witty and brilliant conver- sationalist and most entertaining ra- contour. Flo has @ wonderful memory and has never been known to tell the same story twice --P Philadelphia Press

Capt. Lindsey for Assessor.


 The announcement of Capt. Sam Lindsey as d candidate for Tax Assessor, subject to the action of the Democratic primaries, will be found in today's issue. Capt. Lindsey was born in Pine Bluff and has been lifelong citizen of Jeffer- son county. Almost his entire life has been spent in merchandising and agricultural pursuits. In private life he has always been an upright, honest and industrious citizen. He was a brave C9nfed- crate soldier during the late war and lost his ''good right arm" in the battle of Peach tree creek, near Atlanta. He has always been a consistent Democrat, but has never before been candidate for office. He is capable and competent to fill the office to which he aspires, and should he be elected, will make a faithful and efficient tax assessor. We commend his candidacy to the consideration of the Democratic voters of the county.

Lopoke Ark, is the center of a war scare between the races. For some time an effort has been making by some of the white to run the neg roes out of the community, and whitecap notices have been posted in profusion. Negro teachers have been warned to close their schools. The negroes have supplied them selves with arms and declare that they will not budge. There have been several outrages committed on negroes whereabouts in the recent past, and they have served to in- flame the blacks. The trouble is ex- pected to break out in week or so. Gov. Jones has been asked to do something.

In these period ical teapot tenpests the Parisians use enough violent language to overthrow an empire, but it ends there usually, and they settle down to thrift and money getting again. That these tempests mean nothing serious is shown by the fact that Franco steadily maintains herself as a republic.

Full of interest and picturesque was the ceremony of launching in an Amer
 iean shipyard, the Cramps at Philadel- phia, tho Japanese cruiser Kasagi. Such a ceremony goes tostrengthen the friend ship which without a break has existed 46 years between tho United States and the strong young nation of the orient.
 The fact that Japan, with tho skill and resources of the marine architects of the world at her command, comes to the United States for her warship shows American naval construction to be even with the best. It must be confessed that tho Japanese way of christening q ship is more appropriate and impressive than ours. In America a lady breaks bottle of wine over tho new vessels bows as she slides down the ways. The Japanese style is to freo six pigeons, sacred mes senger birds, from Q oago above the ships bow at the moment of her gliding into tho water Couldn't we havo a warship christening in Japanese fas4ion?

while others were entirely empty and
shut up. Mrs. Allis' statement referred
principally to the annex hospital and
to the sick of the Twelfth infantry. She
complained that the food was poor and
badly cooked, that the sanitary condi-
lions were bad and that, as a eonse-
cuence the sick and the well suffered

CLEMENCY EXTENDED TO THREE
TREBLE DoUTRE's SENTENCE
CUT TO SEVEN YEARS.
Joseph Forsythe, Grand Larcenist,
and David McCune, Felony Con-
Wet, Hardened.

BY reason of the fact that it was
shown there were some mitigating cir
cumstances surrounding the commits
sion of the crime, because of his adj
vancing years, poor health and exem-
plary conduct in prison, and on ac-
count of the voluminous high testimo
malls in his favor, TrefIle Doutre was
yesterday granted a communication of
sentence by the state board of pardons.
Dcutre was convicted Of murder in the
second degree and sentenced by Judge
Blackburn on April 8, 1882, to serve
eighteen years in the state prison. His
sentence was committed yesterday to
end on April s, 1899. The record shows
that Doutre, in the heat of passion,
killed William w. Stephens, a neigh
boring rancher, in Willard county,
While disputing over the rights of an
irrigation ditch.
Feeble minded Joseph Forsythe, who
has been serving q three years SEN
tence since May 20, 1897, for grand
larceny committed in Iron county, was
granted a pardon yesterday. Clemency
was extended to Forsythe because of
the condition OF his mind, the favorable
recommendations in his behalf from
the prosecuting and trial officials and
on account of the belief that in his case
the ends of justice had been satisfied.
For the usual reasons, David McCune
was pardoned. He has been serving a
sentence of eighteen months since July
Z, 1897, for committing an assault with
intent to rape in Garfield county.
Rehearings were granted to Robert
Boardman, jr., who is Doing time for
carrally knowing a female under the
1age Of consent, and to Brigham Spen-
| Ger, a grand larceny convict
Jack. Dennison, one of the three who
participated in the saloon robbery at

don from the sentence OF three months
in the county Jail, but action on his
petition was deferred till the board

Captain Howell asked: WAS the
want of proper food the cause of the
sickness in your regiment?'
Nd; the sickness was due to the
early want of sinks and, later, because
they were dug inside the pipe line and
within ten feet of the tents, whence
they drained to the. tent trenches.

visited the camp for the first time at

Point and found many evidences of
neglect. Men, too weak to help them

Their doctors nor nurses on the trains

were very good during the ten days

considerable fault with the treatment
of the convalescents, and complained
bitterly of the lack of consideration
shown to the friends and relations OF
sick soldiers who visited them in the

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Wheat Market Opened Weak, But
C1nsad StrnnC

Chicago, Nov. 19.-Heavy receipts in
the northwest and easier cables from
Liverpool started wheat a shade lower.
Corn developed considerable strength,
however, and enough of that feeling was
reflected in the wheat pit to offset the
easy feeling at the opening. Bradstreets
reported clearances Of wheat and flour for
the week from both coasts at $4,000
bushels, and Beerbohms placed the total
shipment of the week from all quarter to
Europe at 100000 which left only 2,721-
coo bushels from al sources, outside of
shipments from this side. That helped to
some extent in producing the bulishness
which quickly followed the easy feeling
al the opening.
Near the close New York reported sixty
boatloads of wheat disposed of there for
export That scared the December shorts
into covering, and the closing quotation,
6e7k was at the top of the days range.
MAY dragged slowly over q range Begin
ming at 65k and closing at 66G66ls sellers.

sentiment and prices ruled strong from
