"A voting register for travelling
men-a carefully prepared book for
the purpose-has been kept in the St.
James hotel at Davenport since Sep
TENDER 20. Only the travelling men
are permitted to register in it. The
primary object was to determine the
accuracy OF a statement in the Bryan
Freak published in Chicago, a short
time ago that 80 per cent of the trav-
cling men of the country would vote
for Bryan. From September 20, to
noon Saturday 2O4 names with places
of residence, have been registered.
The ballot at this time stands: 175
for Mckinley and 90 for Bryan show
ing over So per cent in favor of Nc
Kinley.

Governor Shaw paid Major Lace

Governor Shaw paid Major Lacey
a handsome compliment in the course
OF his address at Muchakinock. He
said that while at Washington last
winter he found greater orators and
men who talked more than Mr.
Lacey, but when it came down to the
influential men in congress he was
the peer of any. No man in Wash
iugton worked more hours or harder
for his constituency, and it would be
loss to Iowa and ashame to his dis
trict not to return him this year will
an increased majority.

-Richland Clarion: 1t was Lacey
day Saturday, thank you. The town

here too. No use telling that for

dress. He is splendid talker. He
gave us good speech. We think
down this way that Lacey is para,
mount-there that's a new issue.

When John P. Irish lived in Iowa
he was power in the democratic
party of this state. For several
years he has been a resident of Cali
fornia. He is, and always was, a
sound money democrat, and four
years ago opposed Bryan He is
still opposed to him. On Tuesday he
addressed alarg9 gathering of honest
money democrats at Kokomo
Indiana, under the auspices of the
local sound money club. Mr.. Irish's
speech was an arraignment of the
fallacies of Bryan, and he urged al
honest democrats to repudiate hin
at the polls.

Kill,d a Thief.

An unknown white man about B years of age was shot and killed by Policeman George McCauley at Lit tie Rock Thanksgiving. About dusk the officer was attracted by shouts from merchant, from whom the dead man had stolen some goods. The thief entered an alley, closely pursued by McCauley, who com manded him to halt. The officer drew his revolver and raised 1t to shoot into the air, thinking to frighten the thief. Just as he pulled the trigger McCauley stumbled into d mud hole, which caused him to lower the weapon. The fleeing man plunged forward on his face. the bullet having entered his head behind the right ear. On his person were found a number of stolen ar tieles, but nothing by which he could be identified. About two years ago d crook was killed in the same al ley by an officer under almost iden- tieal circumstances.

7 The jury at Var Buren, in the ,ase of Love Rayburn, charged with
 murder, rendered a verdict of guilty and fixed his punishment at death The crime of which Rayburn stands convicted was one of the most hein- ous on record. A. L. Carpenter, d young man living at Kennady, l, T., went. to Van Buren en route to Cedarvilie for the purpose of marry ing young lady named Wilson, liv ing at that place. At the depot he fell in with Love Rayburn. They visited saloons together, when Car penter displayed about $15 in mon ey. They were seen crossing the railroad together, leaving town in the direction of Ccdarville. The next heard from them was about one mile north on the road, when Car penter's cries for help attracted the attention of residents along the highway. Upon help approaching, the man believed to be Ravbnrn at the muzzle. of a pistol compelled them to stand back while he dcliber- ately shot Carpenter through the head.

If all signs do not fail, the next session of Congress will furnish the Democrats with excellent cam- paign argument. Hanna, exulting over the great victory he has just won and feeling that he has unlim- ited power for four years, intends to perpetrate one of the most gigan- tic steals the country has ever wit messed. In recent interview he stated with brazen frankness that the bill he was most interested i'll was the Payne ship subsidy bill. This infamous measure provides for absolute donation of two hum dred and fifty million dollars to owners of American ships. The only argument offered in favor ot this measure is the one with which Republicans are wont to defend protective tariff-the encourage ment of infant industries. Al though there is no way now by which this steal may be prevented the people will no doubt rebuke 1t i'll no uncertain manner.

It is a well-known fact that Gov elect Jeff Davis bitterly opposed the building of the new State Cap itol and made this question one Of the issues in his campaign, but it is hardly probable that he will seek to obstruct this work, if indeed he has the power to, after he en- ters upon his official duties. The need of a new state house is so ap- parent that very little argument is brought against it on that score. To be sure some may object to the manner in which the work is be- ing done and assert that it opens up opportunities for big steals. It is certainly true that we can have no large public work done these days without oppornities for fraud and waste, but the gentleman man. aging this enterprise cannot be charged with this. The last legis- lature appropriated only $50, 1000 with which to start the building and the commission has not yet exhausted that fund, although the work actually done on the build ing is worth many times that amount. Evidently the building is being well-managed and every patriotic Arkansan rejoices at the great onward step his State is talk ing. If Governor Davis and the next legislature desire to. fulfil the wishes of the people, as they doubtlessly do, they will not seek to obstruct this work i'll any way.
