A Young Hero.

Pawhuska, l. T., June 20
While two sons of John Soder-
strom, miller of this place, were
playing around an open we'll near
their house, just at the outskirts
of town. the younger boy. aged )
years, fell into the we'll. The
well was about forty five feet
deep and there was fifteen feet of
water in it. No one was in the
vicinity and the cries for help of
the older boy. aged 10 years, were
unheeded. The older boy quickly
descended into the well, climbing
down the rope and rescued his
drowning brother. He held the
boys head above water for some
time until help arrived.

EAST CARROLL'S CHOICE FOR
CONGRESS.

We call the attention of our read
crs to the resolutions of massmeet-
ing of citizens, published elsewhere,
which call upon Hon. Joseph f.
Ransdell. to announce himself as a
candidate for Congress TO fill the un-
expired term caused by the death of
the lamented Judge Baird, whose sad
death is universally regretted by our
people, among whom he was very
popular. Mr.. Ransdell is eminently
qualified 10 fill this position. He is
10 the prime of life, being just forty
years OF age, and in the full vigor of
strong, healthy manhood. He is a
native of Rapides parish, and grad
uated from Union College. Science
tady, New York in 1882. He settled
in East Carroll in September 1882,
and began the practice of law as the
partner of Judge West Montgomery
in June, 1883. In April, 1884, he
was elected District Attorney of the
Eight judicial District, which posi-
tiuu Hc HStu lui thSiFS lSalo, SifiDS
eminent satisfaction as an aggressive
AMI successful prosecutor. For The
past three years he has been mem
Der OF the Board of Commissioners
OF the Fifth Louisiana Levee District,
and has been untiring in his efforts
to protect our levee interests.
Mr.. Ransdell was one of the most
active ami useful members of the late
Constitutional Convention. He was
one OF The leaders in the big fight for
poll tax as a prerequisite to voting,
and made considerable reputation by
his speech before the convention on
that subject.
He is largely interested in saw
mills, cotton planting, and real estate,
and has been quite successful 10 the
management OF his private affairs.
AS AN attorney Mr.. Ransdell ranks
among the best lawyers in Louisiana.
We regard him as n man of first
class mental and scholarly endow-
ments, coupled with strong common
sense, great energy, and excellent
business ability. The interests OF
the Fifth Congressional District will
be safe in his hands, and we sincerely
hope he will consent to make the
race, and be successful.

The antitrust law passed by The
Arkansas legislature is causing q
great deal of uneasiness in the State.
1t is taking a different turn from the
way that 1t was thought that it would,
and the state is the sufferer. Texas
will pass the same law, although
there is heavy pressure being
brought to bear against its passage.
Trust are bad things and they ought
to be crushed out, but legislatures
ought TO be careful in passing laws
that cripple their States as in the case
OF Arkansas.
