an active poison-that its active princi-

BLUNT'S PRESS AGENT.
Evidently at Work In the State Capi.

The following from the Houston
Post would seem to indicate that some
body besides the news gstherer is at
work In the L flee of the state health
officer. The dispatch makes interest
Ing reading for us out here, who are
paying the bills for all this foolishness.
Says the di.patch:
austin, Texas, August 26.-The
people OF Ell Paso continue to i'm
perfume the governor TO raise the
quarantine az ainst San Francisco and
sbe California state authorities In con-
junction with certain San Francisco
commercial bodies and nun icipal
powers that have Joined in q protest
against the continuation OF the restric-
lions placed upon travel and the move
ment Of freight into Texas from the
great Pacific coast port.
"Instead OF basinR their protest
upon . showing that they have taken
measures to stamp out and prevent the
spreso of the plague that fingers In
til cir midst. the Californiaps under
take in the face of daily reports from
Is Infected. Such a course as THE will
avail them nsught in their efforts to
reopen con- municstio n with Texas.
The pisgue has q foothold in the San
Francisco Chinese quarter which no
thing but the most heroic work will
loosen, and the new names which the
Western experts have invented for the
dis ease to which its victims are suppos-
ed to succumb can not charge its
character.
AS matter Of fact, though the
quaranti tine complained of by San
Fran c!sco is nothing like as rigid as it
ought TO be. 1t applies only to persons
and freight coming from the Chirese
quarter, and it is hard TO conceive that
any especial hardship is imposed
thereby, unless it is desired to flood
Texas with goods imported by Chinese
lobbers In large quantities in nticipst-
ion OF the war with Gina, ard stored
In Chinatown"
ITO ssk for release of this stuff
under existing conditions and in the
face OF positive proof of the existence
OF the plague In Chinatown, is nothing
II not criminal. 1t is the old story Of
commercial greed versus the public
health.

KANSAS CITY, Mo, Aug 26.-The
census returns chow the population of
Kansas City TO be 2l5, 900. While these
figures show magical growth in the
past ten years, many expected IT to
reach the million mark.
Kansas City mills turned out 4S4,
400 barrels OF flour last week. This
makes her second on the list in the
United States for Touring mill output.
A tuirty days drouth has just been
broken by general rain covering
nearly oil parts of Kansas and western
Missouri. While CORP and wheat
crops were too early for the drouth,
the prospects for apples ard other late
fruit began to look gloomy but the
rains came In ample time and a large
apple crop is insured and pastures are
as green IS they were when the
drouth Get in.

The Jackson democratic county con-
vention convened at Independence Sat

graceful affair. Hand to hand fist
tights were frequent and at times it
seemed on the eve Of q riot and at all
times IL could truthfully be called q
Rough House." One man was as
saulted and krocked Off the speakers

two conventions were held-the police
and snti-police.
Ed Findlay, a gambler who has been
run out of Kansas City. ST. Louis, aud

bond for snstching a diamond stud out

who was arrested in ST. Louis q few

Il is simply case OF whether the
people Of Kansas CITY are to be protect

Julia Arthur.

Julia Arthur, the well.known ac-
trees, has Cancelled all her remaining
dates for this season. At Philadel-
phia her husband, Mr.. B. C.. Cheney,
announced that the company would
be disbAnded at once, and Miss Ar
thur would retire temporarily from
the stage. He stated that if his wife
resumed her theatrical career next
year ii would be in standard Shskes-
pearesn plays, and for seasons of only
ten weeks. Her visits will be conGn-
ed to the big Eastern cities.
Miss Arthur's health has been stead
ily falling since the beginning of the
season. She tainted during one OF
her performances in Louisville. Last
week she was unable to continue her
Philadelphia engagement, and the re-
suit of her nervous breakdown is the
announcements that she will Temporal
rily abandon the stage.

Political Changes.

Time makes many changes. Mr..
John Cunningham, while in this
Office Monday, was talking of the ex-
citing times in the sixties, and OF the
refusal of the Unionists to let the
Democrats vote at the August election
ia 1863 He said that exactly forty
Democrats presented themselves at the
Clintonville precinct and were refused
the right to vote. OF that number time
has swept away all but three of the
psrly-John Cunningham, c. S. Nc
Donald aud Noah Buchanan. But
time has not changed the loyalty of
these three gentleman to the DEM
ocratic psrtJ. From the foundation
laid by these old patriots in the Gin
tonville precinct it has grown to be
one of the strongest Democratic
precincts in the county, and last No
vember they won the honor of rolling
up the largest majority of any in the
county.-Paris Democrat.

Compromise for a Glass of Beer

"Csgy" Hampton, Secretary or
something of the Republican State
Committee, is talking after this fash
ion to the Washington Times:
"The lime was when we needed
and asked for Federal interference.
But that time has passed. All we
want now is for the Federal Govern.
ment to let us severely alone and per-
NIT US to fight oct our difficulties a.
we may see f. For the life of me
can't see h6w bloody confiir' -
tween the Organized ss'.es Of the Re-
pub'icans s,u Democrats is to be
ave.li,.ed. Gov. Taylor is not going 10
submit to the decision of the partisan
Court of Appeals, which, to my
knowledge, already has its opinion
written in the contest case thus far in
advance of the litigation reaching
that tribunal. When the Democrats
try to enforce the decision of the par
tisan Court Of Appeals ousting Gov.
Tay lor the clash will come. Then we
shall ask all outsiders to stand aside
aud allow us free hand to fight out
the battle in our own way. The Re
pu6licans of the State do not propose
to have their State Mississippized. 1t
seems certain that we shall have TO
fight and die for our liberties, and
this we have made up our minds to
do"
This is not mere idle threat on
the part of csntankerous "Cagy."
For years he has ranged, ragged, hum
gered and thirsted for public thrust
the. ;s : private snap, and, failing in
that, he has taken his mouth in hand
and gone out for blood. However,
he may, on sober second thought, COM
promise on a glass OF beer.-Louis-

CHEERS FOR DEWEY.
Fifty Thousand People Gathered
On Savannah's Streets.

Fifty thousand persons on the
streets of Savannah, Ca, Thursday
afternoon, gave Admiral Dewey an
enthusiastic welcome. The Admi-
raj had recovered from his indis-
position sufficiently to take part in
the military parade, and as he rode
through the streets, with Mrs. Dew
ey at his side, ringing cheers rent
the air.
Military companies were present
from many southern cities, and
nearly 1000 men we're in line. An
Admiral's salute was fired by the
Chatham artillery. NThe climax of
the occasion occurred at the De
Soto Hotel.

Side Views On Life.

Practise sometimes makes per-
feet nuisance.
1t isn't so much what man has
that makes him happy as what he
doesn't want.
1t is always better to be right
than to be consistent.
The average man has a poor
foundation when he stands on his
dignity.
There are three things the wise
man keeps on good terms with-his
wife, his stomach and his con-
science.
Some people who don't claim to
know very much make better use
of their knowledge than others who
think they know it all.
