Excellent Stone Contract.

The fore part of the week Hon. j. T..
Burke closed u contract with the con-
tractors, Mullen Il Mum, of Deadwood,
for furnishing GO Car loads of sawed
stone for new barracks and guarl, house
ut Ft Meade. This is important to our
loco! Stone industry for it will necessi-
sa'e !. now stone saw plant at the
burke quarry and is also very good as
surance that the many new buildings
that are to be hereafter constructed
will be from the same stone. The first
delivery of stone at Ft. Meade will be
in about March. In the mean time
the new saw plant will be put in.

cry IS now being made.
Burlington Employees Being Restricted.
The Burlington Railroad company
has issued an order requiring all it's
employees to be vaccinated, says the
Pioneer Times. This is in view of the
great number of smallpox cases over
the country this winter. A great num-
ber of the trainmen and employees of
other departments on that road conse-
quently have tender arms, as the order
is being generally carried out.
The Burlington has also made an ad-
dition to the Book of Rules that is con-
sidered rather extraordinary for a
western road. 1t prohibits the use of
tobacco in any form by the employees
of the road while on duty. Train men,
station men, shop men and all others,
while working for the company, must
abstain from smoking or chewing dur
ing the hours for which they are paid.
In the same rules there is a clause pro-
hibiting the use of spirituous or intoN-
icatins liquors by employees of the road
at any time, and they are strictly for
hidden to enter soloons. A violation
of the new rules is considered grounds
for discharge.

A HEATED DEBATE DAVIS AND REMMEl WERE AT THEIR BEST LAST
 NIGH
TALKED NATIONAL ISSUES
A Gang of Tougts Disgraced Pine Bluff When Col. Files
 Arose to Speak.

Ir the presence of fully three thousand people the DaYis-RemmeI debate took place at the court house in this city Monday night. It was a gala occasion for local poli- ticians, many of whom have been reading about Jeff Davis and H. L. Rgnmel for months, but never heard them speak.
 MT. Remmel arrived Monday afternoon from Stu ttgart, where he was to have met Mr. Davls Monday morning in debate. But the latter d:d not arrive the. Col Geo. w. Murphy, democratic nominee for at torney general, filed Mr. Davis place in Arkansas county, and he and Mr. Remmel s.haa it for a few hours. It was not generally known that Mir. Davis was unable to reach Stuttgart, in fact he democratic committee appolated to receive him were disappointed when they went 10 meet the south bound Cotton Belt train, and found that their man 5 had not been at Stuttgart.
 Mr. RemmeI was met at the de pot by Messrs. Carl atubbledeld, R.. c. Thompson and J. ". Saunders, who in carriage escorted the Re- publican nominee to the Trulock hotel, where he received friends for brief time, being tendered rous- ingGeception in the double parlors. Later in the evening Dr. Thompson accompanied Mr. Remmel over the city and introduced him to Pine Blufians right and left. Mir. Rem mel is a great mixer, perfect gen sleman and gained many friends during his brief stay in the city.
 Mir. Davis did not arrive until 45:30 o'clock, coming from Little Rock via. the Iron Noun tain route. AHe was met at the train by Messrs. aW. D. Jones, D. c. Bell, W. T. Woodbridge and Chairman John F Rutherford of the Jefferson county democratic central committee. MT. Rutherford put Mir. Davis in his private carriage, and they were Slriven to the former's hume on West Sixth avenue, where Mr. Rayis was entertained with f six Wclock dinner. After luncheon MT. Davis was driven to the hotel, where

free tabor, and in favor of a reform school for youthful criminals. He then discussed the Democratic nom- inee and the trusts at length, and defended the supreme court from what he called the abuse and viliG. cation of Mr. Davis h connection with it's construction of the anti- trust law The latter had dismiss ed all cases against the trusts -283 tn umber-but had lately made bluff at suing the Little Rock ice trust; but instead of getting evi. dehce to back the suit had declared that it was up to the people, to prove that concern trust; thus shrinking from the discharge Of his dhty under tue law.
 Davis in one of his speeches had declared himself willing to serve ten years ia the penitentiary if permit. ted to serve two years as governor. The speaker worked himself into fine frenzy over this startling prop osition, and asked If tkere was any one in the audience who would make the sacrifice of disgracing himself and family for all time for the priv ifege of being governor of Arkansi s for one term? Shame upon the man who would do so, said be.
 Col. Remmel concluded his speech with a glowing tribute to the state supreme court, calling all the judges by name. and dwelling at some length upon the self made career of Hon. Carroll D. Wood, the farmers $ boy who had risen to the higest po- Esition within the gift of his people land who, with his associate justices, had been so uniustly criticised and maligned b5 the Democratic attor- ney general, now the candidate for governor.

HON JEFF DAVIS

After Rusic by the Cotton Belt band, Mr. Davis was introduced by Chairman John F. Rutherford of tue democratic central committee, and he spoke for one hour, during which time be was frequently interrupted by yociferous applause. He began by saying the people were not in- terested in either Remmel or Davis, but were interes ted in the princi- pIes for which they stand Remmel had passed as nice, elegant Chris tian gentleman, but he proposed to show what he stands for, and Ee be. gan by taking up the dangerous doctrine of imperialism anc giving his conception thereof. He defined it as one man power-the rule of 3 king or emperor, and by alleged di- vine right. He did not wish to be understood as saying this republic was in immediate danger of imperi- ahsm; but for the past twenty-five years, one by one, the rights of the people had been abridged or taken away, until even the Declaration of Independenee-the basic rock upon which all republics are founded-is now ridiculed in many quarters. He accused the republican party of waging an unjust war in the Philip pines, and declared that he would not give the life blood of one Ameri- can boy or old Confederate soldier for all the islands in the Philippine groupe and Porto Rica aud Cuba com bined. He declared that the constitution should follow the flag, but that the spirit of commercialism is rampant in the republican party, and that its leaders had lost sight of the time tested truth that all just governments derived their powers from the consent Of the gov. erned. God neyer intended that civilization and christianity should be pumped into defenseless people with Mansers, but that is what tbe governments of Queen Victoria and Mckinley, the little tin god of the republicans. are doing to the hap- less Boers and Filipinos. The doc Urine of force and criminal aggres- sion is opposed by God, man aud law.
 The speaker then devoted his at- tention to the gold standard aud discussed the money question at some length. He declared that it

TIE NEWS
 OF JEROME

Jerome, Ariz., Aug. 20.-(Special cor details of the hail storm of last Friday afternoon, in the Cottonwood district. were received from Ralph Dykstra this morning. He was selling the remnant of his melon crop on the streets this morning, and a scabby lot of melons they were. Every melon had been scarred by the immense hail stones, some having holes as large as mans thumb cltar into the heart of the mel on. MT. Dykstra had six acres of as fine melons as one you'd care tO see. They were in all stages of maturity. from little fellows to ripe melons, ready for the market. After the storm had spent itself MT. Dykstra and another man went into the patch and began piing the damaged melons in windrows between the rows of vines. They count ed the melons that had been destroyed in one row, which was a fair average. and there were l02 of them. On that basis something like 5000 melons were destroyed. Th- vines were cut to pieces a. if harrow had run through the patch several times. MT. DyXtra thinks he may have per cent. of his melons left on the vines that were not cut up enough to kill them. The loss was Sc were one on him, as he was deriving the principal part of his income from the sale of melons.
 There was hot time for a few mix utes on the 300 foot level at o'clock yesterday morning. in which a motor was sheared of its trimmings. and the motor house was gupted of its wood work. No one claims to know what caused the fire. The house for the mo- tor stood the mouth of the 300 tunnel close to the blacksmith shop. The body of the motor was rot destroyed as there was little wood work; but the electri- cal appurtenances were burned away.
 Mrs. J. P. Looney, of Breckenridge, Col, died in Denver on the 18th If this month from congestion of the stomach. She had been on a camping trip and caught cold, causing the complication resulting in her death The burial will take place today in the family ceme- tery in Lacon, Illinois. She was only A years of age and had always been well and strong. She was a sister of Mrs. Jean Allison and John Levy. both of Jerome. Mir. Levy left for Denver immediately on receipt of the news. Saturday Mrs. Allison received a let- ter addressed by MT. Looney. Upon opening it it proved to be an unfinished leter from her sister. the last ever writ ten by her before her death. The let fer contained four pages. three of which were filled, and the fourth con taining only three words, where the poor woman had ceased writing when the sudden spell came which caused her death.
 The formal dedication of the Catho- lie church in Jerome took place yester- day in the presence of a large and en- ihuslastic assemblage. There had gath cred together priests and other promi- nent people from outside towns. in

talking. and at about dusk of the first evening out Lake turned the conversa- tion to curious mechanical cOntriVancts and described several remarkable ma chimes he had seen. He had been a skilled engineer earlier in life. and be- ing a good talker soon got me deeply interested. Among other things he told me about an air pump with a singular ball valve. The ball lies in a socket, he said. and the greater the air pres sure behind it the tighter it sticks To illustrate. he twisted an old envelope into a cone and dropped paper wad into the mouth. Now. when | blow, he continued, you will see that the wad stays right where it is. Like d fool. l stared at the thing. and he blew violently into the little end. At the same instant l felt as if a raging fur mace had suddenly belched it's flames right into my face. l couldn't see. couldn't breathe: for a moment or two l couldn't move. My throat and nos trils were on fire. and I felt sure my eyes had been burned literally out of their sockets.
 What happened was simply this: The envelope was full of red pepper and I had received the charge. point blank, at about siX-inch range. While l was gasping the scoundrel ran to the other end of the car My friend has a nt.' he shouted: I'm going after Wa ter! Of course he jumped off and that was the last of him. He was never caught.

A Detective Tells How One of Them
 Figured in His Prisoners Escape

Figured in His Prisoners Escape.
 'I never had but one prisoner escape from me-" said an old railroad detec- tive. and that was under very peculiar circumstances. In 1882. when I was working for the Atchison. Topeka and Santa Fe road, I captured a fellow named Jim Lake. who was wanted for robbinS freight cars. l got him near Trinidad, Colorado, and after securing the requisition papers started east with him for Kansas City. Lake was a lit tie. cOnsumptive chap. as frail as a wo- man, and l didn't consider it necessary to even put the handcutfs on him. With one twist I could have broken him n two. Besides, l didn't care to cause him needless humiliation by exhibiting him before the other passengers in the role of a prisoner. so we simply sat side by side, like two tourists, and nobody in the cars had any idea he was under arrest.
 Naturally we did a good deal of
