In spite of the fact that there are many

who halls from Decatur county. He is
the regular nominee of the Republican
party in the Second district and while
very little is being heard from him by the
white people, he is nevertheless making a
very vigorous campaign in a quiet way
his purpose evidently being to have the
negroes poll a heavy vote without arous-
ing the Democratic voters sufficiently to
make them turn out to the polls on cleo
ton day.
Perhaps the Republicans of the district
realize less than anybody else how una
vailing their efforts win prove, and how
badly they will be showed under when
the election takes place. The Democrats
are stirring in every county of the dis
trict, and while Congressman Griggs is
assured of his safe election, he Is actively
at work, going back and forth from one
end of the district TO the other. He natu-
rally desires to receive q handsome major

causes his untiring activity. 1t is graft

The "I<ick-Huntcr."
From the Kansas City Star,


A detective in this city was formerly
paid good salary by the keeper of a big
hotel In Hot Springs, Ark, simply TO
lounge in the lobby and listen to the COM
plants and criticisms Of guests. There
is always a feeling of friendliness and
comradeship between guests at a hotel,
and this detective made 1t his business TO
become acquainted with all the visitors.
They thought he was fellow guest. The
detective would lead the conversation to
the merits or dement's of the hotel, and
il a man complained of the service or his
accommoda tons the complaint was
promptly reported to the landlord.
For instance, If a guest complained that
he liked to sleep late in the morning and
he could not do it because he had a room
with an east exposure, so that the sun
came in and awakened him, the detective
would report it TO the landlord In a little
while the landlord would say 10 the guest:
II was thinking this morning about you
In that east room. Do you like to sleep
late in the morning.
The guest would say that he did
We'll" the landlord would say, II was
thinking that you did, and in that case
the sun must disturb you. / will give you
a better room on the north side of the
house"
That made the guest a friend of the
house for life A man never forgets a
landlord who takes an interest in him.
This detective found out what particular
dishes the guests enjoyed and all their
hobbies and notions and likes and dislikes,
and the landlord acted on this informa-
ton. 1t paid so well that the house was
full all the time, and the landlords sal
ary was raised. His praises were sung
so widely and his fame as successful
landlord spread so that a big hotel In
Minneapolis hired him at an enormous
salary. The detective who did this work
was known to the attaches OF the hotel
as THE Kick Hunter"

Buenos Ayres May 4.-Advices received
from Rio Janeiro are to the effect that the
United States battleship Oregon, gunboat
Marietta and cruiser Nictheroy, the latter
recently purchased from Spain, have coaled
and will leave this afternoon. The Spanish
gunboat Temerario is still at La Plata and

bad condition and it IS reported large num-
ber of her crew have deserted. Efforts are
made to replace the deserters. There is not
much danger to the Oregon from that
quarter.
Washington, May 4.-The Oregon will
leave Rio Janeiro to-day for Key West. She
will stop at Bahia Brazil distance she will
require three days to cover, and at that point

opportunity yesterday to enroll them
selves in the volunteer service of the
United States, and their response to the

spring. Three regiments and the light
battery to a man said they would fol-

pany officer in the entire brigade made
a negative answer to Inspector General
Morrelps question as to whether they
desired a commission. The banner
regiments yesterday were the Six
teenth, General Wiley's old command,
and the Fifteenth and Eighteenth. The
officers and enlisted men on the field
numbered 3,073, and out of this number
but 104 enlisted men declined to vol
