It's no joke. There are at least seventy-hve candidates for railroad commissioner and with every one of these gentlemen Is serious mat ter. The Gov. finds the selection'of three men from this number a se- rious matter also. No matter what course he may pursue there are go- ing to be about seventy two disap- pointed candidates and no doubt every one of them will imagine that he ought to have had the place. We drop this suggestion, however, in advance for the bene- fit of disappointed candidates. The three first railroad commissioners are not going to have an easy berth. The people expect too much of commission, and when they fail to realize 1t there will be mutterings of discontent, loud pro- tests and exclamations of disgust. Those who may get left in the contest may console themselves with the idea that the troubles of their successful opponents have  just begun.-Ark. Democrat.

the public schools. The substitute for this measure offered by Mir. Colquitt, who come nearer meet ing the wishes of the people than any bill on the subject ever intro- duced in the legislature. Under this bill the people would have the matter entirely in their own hands. They would have the right to say whether they wanted the books to be uniform or not, as the bill ena- bled the voters at school elections to decide the question for them selves. Under such law no book trust could control the sale of books in any county that did not desire to be influenced by the trust. And there are no such counties in Ar kansas.
 Under the bill providing for state uniformity of text books the case is different. as the people would have no voice in the matter. State uniformity, as 1t Is called, has been tried in other states, and costly has been the experience of some of them. In West Virginia the book trust rejoiced over the law, and despite its protests two years ago 1t was repealed.
 In Missouri the uniformity text book law has been in force for sev- eral years but is now dead letter, the present legislature having re- pealed the penalty clause and for no other purpose than to render the statute ineffective. The agents of the book trust were on hand to prevent any change in the law, but their seductive arguments had no influence with the Missouri leg islators. They stood by the peo- pie, who will now be able to apur- chase school books as cheaply as those in any state in the. Union.
 Under the bill introduced by Mir. Colquitt each county in the state of Arkansas, by authority of the people, will have the right to make its school books uniform or not and under this system, wherev- CT adopted, books may be purchas- ed at as reasonable rates as under any other that has ever been in vogue. There is certainly a very large sentiment in this state in fa- vor of some kind of uniformity, and ii there is to be such d system what plan could be devised better than that offered by Mir. Colquitt?
 He proposes that the people shall adopt the uniformity system those who pay for the school books that are sold by the book trust and other dealers in school literature. The people cannot object to such q law, and if they do not there is no reason why the legislature should. The people are fully competent to deal with this question if the law will authorize them to do so.-Ga-

We keep bottle open all the time and whenever any of my family or myself begin to catch cold we begin to use the Cough Remedy, and as result we never have to send away for a doctor and incur large doctor bill, for Chamberlain's Cough Remedy never fails to cure.

at work in a drift in the 1,500-foot level.
Friday evening the men, who were at
work on the same shift, had put in a
number of shots, and one had missed
fire. When Mcleod and Pasenda went
to work they were apprised of the missed
hole, n to them was assigned the duty
of drilling out the powder and re-shot-

Charles Donohoe, a carman, was the
only other mar in the drift at the time.
He was standing beside a car, about rs
feet from the face Of the drift, and heard
the roar Of the discharge and was knock
ed down by a piece of flying rock. He was
on his feet instantly and ran out into the
level, where he encountered several min
ers, and although laboring under intense
excitement, managed to inform them that
something serious had happened. The
men went into the drift and found the
bodies of the two men. Superintendent
H1ggln was at once notified, and he tele-
phoned to Coroner Julien. After the
coroner arrived the bodies were removed
to Duggan's undertaking rooms.
Angus was about 80 years of
age. He was a Scotchman and had been
IN the United States eight or nine years.
For several years he was a member Of

RINGLING'S CIRCUS.

Ringling Bros big circus will exhibit
in Butte again on Wednesday,, June %.
This will be good news for the thousands
who remember tho admirable perform
ances given here by this great show two
years ago. At that time the general
comment was that Butte had never seen
so representative an arenic exhibition.
The show came practically unknown.
1t went away leaving thousands of adj
mirers and friends, and it's return will
be universally commended. Since it's
last visit the show has been grea tly en-
larged IN all it's departments, and this
year 1T will bring more cars, more peo-
pie, more horses, more elephants and a
greater amount of paraphernalia than
any show has ever transported across the
Rocky mountains. Railroad men say the
greatest number of cars hitherto drawn
by a trans-continenta1 line for one circus
was q. Ringing Brothers have so. This,
better thai anything else, suggests the
immensely Of this seasons exhibition.
The show is Q in Utah, but will visit
the coast cities before coming to Butte.
Since the opening engagement in Chi
cago, early in April, the show has had
an uninterrupted series of successes.
and all who have seen the Ringing show
this year declare it is the greatest com
bined circus, menagerie and hippodrome
ever organized in the United States. q
