Joe H0ward's ElOquence.

Uncle Joe Howard, a member of
the legislature from Pope county /,
Arkansas, was opposed to the ap-
preparation for the state university
at Fayetteville, and here is what he
had to say on the floor of the
house at Little Rock few days
ago:
"Mr. Speaker: l haven'tgot but
few words to say on this here
question. | am not in favor OF
this appropriation. l Cad, if we
are going to teach our boys farm
ing, l Cad let 'em pull the bell
cord over their own mules back,
if they have got one. am in fa-
vor of education, because, Cad,
know the need of hit. The
longest session | ever went to
school was three weeks, and |
Cad, there w us darned few of them.
Now you want a gymnasium
want place where the boys can
skin the cat; they ought to do like
/ used to do-put up a pole and
skin their old cats. If they want
to eat batter cakes and wear fine
clothes, | Cad, let them pay for
them"

A MYSteri0ns Case.

A South McAlester dispatch,
dated the 25th, says DR.. Chapman
was last night summoned by a
telegram to meet NJ, K. & T.
train No. 2 for the purpose of at
tending the wounds of one of the
passengers who had been shot.
The doctor found a well dressed
young man in the sleeper. DR..
Chapman found that the young
man had been shot in the fieshy
part of the right arm, the bullet
ranging from the shoulder down
to the wrist, and that another
bullet had plowed its way along
the right leg, entering at the hip
and coming out just below the
knee. Both the bullets had gone
through the flesh. The doctor
dressed both the wounds, but
could not learn the name of his
patient and could get nothing
further from the man except he
was from Texas and was going to
st. Louis.

Winning his wife, what with pres

saw he couldn't bend his neck, and
then we knew what was the matter.
"Well, of course, the first thing
we did was to set man to march
alongside of him with a tent pole,
with crutch in the end of it to lift
the branches for him. Most of the
time-almost all the time, in fact
we could steer him clear of over
hanging branches, and of course lots
of the way there was long stretches
where there wasn't any trees at all,
and then we'd come to places where
the man would have to lift branch
to let the big giraffe go under, and
a great pity it was, too, to see him
compelled to go about in that man

PUBLIC SCHOOL PLANS.

The subject Of schools is one OF
the uppermost in the minds Of
vinita people at the present time.
II has been demonstrated by'a
good many years Of experience
that it takes more money than or
dinarily comes in to conduct a
school in Vinita. The men who
have attempted to conduct the
schools of this town have invaria-
bly, lost money. The proposition
now to establish public schools by
school tax sufficient to run them
is certainly movement In the
right direction, and if followed up
in practical manner will yield
satisfactory results. &
"A strong, healthy common
school maintained by taxation
would strengthen the college, as
the higher branches could be
left to that institution. A little
systematic figuring at this time
would be productive of much good,
as we have reached period in
which we must move in the mat
ter of public education.
Let us secure the Worcester
academy building for term OF
years and take steps for the estab-
lishment of an efficient public
school to open at the fall term ,
and thus build public school and
college at the same time.

to represent things just as we think
they are. For more than 25 years we
have claimed that the G.. 0. Taylor

idence in our output to assert that
whether you find G. O. Taylor
Whiskies in any town or city be-
tween Eastport, Me, and Leadville,

each bottle to be a counterpart of

ally bottled in 1873 for the pur-
pose OF giving physicians medici-

scribed for use in the sick room with
full faith in its purity, and that when
prescribed the result attendant with
its medicinal use would never be
found Disappointing We have in
our possession hundreds of testi-

take pleasure in mailing to any one,

Good Time Made and a Number of Ac-
cfdents Occurred.


A bright sun shining overhead. a cool
northwest breeze stirring and the roads In
excellent shape were the conditions of
the annual century run of the Arlington
WheeIrnen yesterday. There f1fty-five
entries. OF these twenty-four were entered
in the eight-hour run. Out of the twenty
four but fifteen finished. Nearly all Of the
fourtcen-hour men finished in the scheduled
time.
The fourteen-hour men, under command
of Capt. Frank c. Potts of the Arlington
Wheelmen, left at o'clock yesterday morn
ing from the corner OF 14th street and New
York avenue. Throughout the entire run
the riders were nearly half an hour ahead
of the schedule. The majority of the riders
in this class finished at 500 last evening.
The straggers. however continued to come
in up until I O'Clock when the last men
passed in their checks.

A number of accidents occurred to the
riders in the eight-hour class. Nicholas

Wheelmen, sustained the most serious In
| jury. The forks of his machine broke and
he was thrown heavily to the ground,
breaking his nose. besides receiving other
| bodily injuries. The accident happened on
| the Marlboro road near Suitland Park.
| He was picked up unconscious and carried
| to a nearby farmhouse. and later brought
| to this city In a carriage. He is now con-
| fined to his bed at the residence of his
! mother, 114O 18th street northwest. At a
| late hour this afternoon he was reported
| as doing very we'll. His injuries will con-
| fine him to his home for several weeks
| A. G. Kent, also member of the club,
met with a similar accident, his machine
| breaking at the same place. He was pick

Eckhardt. He was bandaged up, put on
| new wheel and pluckiiy rode to the finish.
| He finished one minute before the tolls
closed. The other accidents were of
| slighter nature and did not prevent the
| riders from finishing
The time of those who finished the four

DEFEATED JOHNS HOPKINS.
Ten-Inning Game Won by the Mary

An exciting game of ball was played Sat
urday at Union Park, Baltimore, between
the Maryland Agricultural College nine and
that of Johns Hopkins, which, after an ex-
citing ten-inning contest, was won by the
Maryland Agricultural College team by
score Of to 8. This practically put Johns

dets, these teams having won the same

The cause of the defeat of the Baltimore
team was their inability to hit Reuhr the
agriculturists' left-hand twirler. Some good
fielding was done by both teams. Straus,
for Johns Hopkins, held the farmers down
in fine style. The NJ. A. c. played their
good fielding game and we'll sustained the
reputation that they have already gained
this season. The score by innings was:
