Says today's Arkansas Gazette:.

A1oy O bOOoy 1AIhduodb QA~GItG.
 Chairman Henry M. Cooper, of the Republican State Central com mittee, expressed no surprise at the above news. He stated that from what he had heard in the past week he was prepared for this announce ment.
 ''Havis had no one at Washington to represent him and refute the charges brought against him, said Chairman Cooper. "When I visited Washington several weeks ago Sen ator Jones told me he thought the nomination would be confirmed. understand that Senator Berry took aa active part against confirming the nomination. Yes, Col. S. W. Fordyce was central figure in the opposition to Havis, and at Pine Bluff the opposition was headed by Arthur Murray and John Taylor"
 It has been learned that great many charges were preferred against Hayis. One charge was that he was at one time under indictment at Pine Bluff for playing poker.
 When the Republican State cen tral committee passed upon the Pine Bluff postoffice plum, Havis receiy- ed the recommendation unanimous ly, his three white rivals being left out in tfe cold. Hayis had the en- dorsement of a number of promi- nent white citizens of Pine Bluff and this was given by the committee as the reason for his recommendation to the president. The anti-Havis folks enlisted the aid of Col. s. w, Fordyce and his influence was brought to bear at Washington.

News of Havis' rejection was re- ceived in this city late yesterday af- ternoor when Attorney J. M. Fay. Tor received a telegram from Sena- tor Berry announcing Havis' defeat, and an hour later Editor Artbur Murray received telegram from MT. Ed L. Givens, clerk of the Sen- ate. to the same effect.
 The news was rapidly spread and received with general rejoicing.

l Ibeiieve that the position to com pei the Light S5 Water Co. to give fire protection without pay is one that the city cannot sustain in thecourts, which is abundantly proven in our experiences in the past. During ex- Mayor GoldsYnith's administration in 1895 the question was taken into the courts, the city council employ ing Austin & Taylor as special attor- neys to represent the city's interest during the vacancy in the office of city attorney, caused by resignation of MT. A. B. Grace. I believe this suit was fought as earnestly and as ably and all the city's interest as we'll car ed for as we can hope to have them now. Remember we have the same laws, same judges to administer them as we have now. What was done?
 On June r, 1895, Judge Caldwell in passing on this question, ordered the water company to turn on the water, but at the same time ordered the council to deposit with the receiver | $663.95 per month or full contract price. Later in the same suit Judge Williams ordered the water compa- ny to keep up fire pressure BUT be also ordered the city to deposit with the Merchants & Planters Bank war rants to cover full amount of the water company's bill and an addi- tional sum to make warrants equiv- alent to currency, making the water bills cost the city over $700 per month. After this experience I be- lieve that ex-Mayor Goldsmith will say that the present basis of settle ment ($563 95 per month) for our water bills, when contract calls for $663 95 in currency, will beat any thing we have gottenfrom the courts in the past. We can also add to our experience account for above suit $1000for attorneys fees and other ex- penses attending this suit. Now, when the proposed fight is brought on and water turned off, will not the best insurance companies withdraw from our town? and our already high insurance bc raised, costing us more in day than our water bills for year.
 for one do not believe the present management of the Light & Water Co. are our enemies. They are gen. tlemen who have large property in terest among us and must be inter- ested in the upbuilding of our city, and I believe they can do much more toward improving our water condi- ton when receiving some compensa- tion than when involved in a law suit. Now, don't lose sight of the lact that in my position on thisq ques- tion have been associated with five other aldermen.
 Now. I want to say in conclusion that would favor paying the Light &5 Water Co. on the present basis of settlement, keep our insurance inter ests intact. go into the courts, get Q forfeiture of contract, if it can be ob- tained, wipe out our controversies and make a new contract, or get a new water company, if we have to, under a contract that will bring peace and safety to our community.
 I shall accept graciously the ver- dict oi the people at the polls next Tuesday, only hoping that whatever 1t may be it will be for the best inter- est of our city.

Her Gold Braid and Epaulets

One costume has been seen regularly
every day for week on upper Broadway,
and has attracted increasing attention. Its
greatest triumph came on Friday, when
the wearer passed through a crowd stand
Ing in front of war bulletin and received
the compliment of an enthusiastic shout
as recognition of her presence. The men
fell back as she passed and the excitement
of the moment centered on the young wo-
man, who bore the attention without en-
barrassment The costume was alone re-
sponsible for the sensation she created, for
prettier women in Elton Jackets and flow
cred hats. had elbowed their way labori-
ously and ignored through the crowd. The
woman wore grayish blue dress with gilt
buttons on the jacket, which fell over the
hips like the coat Of full dress uniform.
On her shoulders was gold braid in the
form of epaulettes, and there were straps
of gold braid across the front of her jacket.
The skirt was perfectly plain, save for two
broad bands of gold braid sewed on in the
place where they would have appeared IL
the young woman had worn trousers in
stead OF the blue skirt. There was little
or no accuracy in the imitation of a uni
form, and the idea might have been carried
out with greater attention. to detail. But
1t served well enough to arouse more en-
thusiasm on Broadway than anything else
except war bulletin, and the young wo-
man accepted the homage with unruffled
stolidtty.-New York Sun.

SAVED HER HUSBANDS LIFE
A Woman Temporarily Becomes Bull
Fighter to Excellent Purpose

A woman's presence of mind and quick
and determined action in the face Of peril
saved her husband from death at the
Corning farm on the river road below
Kenwood recently.
A prize bull, one Of the finest of the Gel
ebrated Corning stock, registered as King
Coffee vi, an animal of excellent blood.
but untamed qualities, came near causing
it's keepers death.
James Kievet, who has charge of the
Corning stock, has only held his position
a few days. and therefore was not well &C.
quainted with the jeculiarities of the ami
mails. The other day he took King Coffee
vi out for exercise. The bull had a ring
In his nose. and attached to the ring was
a pole to lead him by. After giving the
animal several runs up and down the
barn yard, Keeper Klevet returned 1t to
it's stall and incautiously removed the
stick before he had chained the bull. AS
soon as the stick was removed the bull
roared and made a plunge for Klevet,
landing his forefeet on him so as to throw
him to the floor Of the stall. The animal
then gored the man as he lay on the floor,
inficting several gashes in the groin
Mrs. Klevet happened to be in the barn
yard and. hearing her husbands screams.
