Your paper tells you when to
go to church, to county court
and probate court, says an emf
nent divine, and it tells you who
is dead, who is married, who is
sick, who is born and many
other things you would like to
know. 1t calls attention to pub
lie enterprise and advocates the
best of schools, of law and order
in town. 1t records the marriage
of your daughter, the death of
your son and the illness of your
wife free of charge. 1t sets forth
the advantages and attractions
of your town. Invites immigra-
ton, and is first to welcome new
corners. Yes, in spite of all these
benefits some people say the
home paper is not half as good
as the city paper that has no in
terest in their business or sue
cess. The home paper like the
home church, is too often neg
lected by those who are benefited
by it.

AS another martyred president
said: Good reigns, and the gov
eminent still exists" in spite OF
the treachery Of foreigners who
have sought these shores to
teach anarchy and assassination.
Anarchy should be treated as
treason, and stringent laws
should beformulated to keep out
of our country the disturbing
element which has grown SO
powerful. The Chinese exclusion
act is all right; but there are
worse people than the Chinese.

WHILE all our people deeply
deplore the sad death of our
President, there should be no
political rancor stirred up in the
discussion of the catastrophe
and the causes leading up to it.
1t is not necessary for men of diff
ferent political views to become
abusive of the opponents in dis
cussing the numbering OF our
President. No great party Of to-
day is responsible for the act,
land even an insinuation to the
effect that it is, is unjust and un-
manly. The President of ALL
the people has been assassinated.
That fact should bind us to-
gether for the general good and
for the prevention of a recurrence
Of the disaster.

Judge Num- has demonstrated
that he has the nerve OF a noun
tain Judge, and the good sense to
bring it into action when occasion
demands. Bad feelings we're shown
by the parties involved in a MUIR
der trial at Madisonville last week
and war in the court room brewed,
and the Judge announced that all
hands would be searched next NOR
ming, as they went into the court
room, for the we'll known deadly
weapon. We approve of the judi
ge's action, and suggest for his ed
ification that his announcement in
Hopkins has satisfied everybody
IN Crittenden that he can and will
stand pat, and there will be no
need of his doing anything of that
kind here the fourth Monday in
June.

caused by whooping cough and
pneumonia. He was a beautiful
child and had always been remark

everything that the physicians and
loving hands could do was done

ZINC ORE SHIPPED.
Three Car Loads Of Dry Bone
for Chicago.

Last week three car loads of zinc
ore were shipped from this place
to Chicago. This is the first ship
ment in commercial quantities OF
zinc ore from this section, and is
an event of no small interest to
those interested in mining.
The ore shipped is carbonate OF
zinc, frequently called drybone. 1t
was taken from Blue & Nunn's
property about four miles north
west of Marion, and known as the
old Franks homestead. 1t is found
in large quantities in the vein un-
covered, and lies near the surface
1t has been chemically tested and
reduced in miniature furnace, aad
shows "A good per cent. of zinc.
The shipment last week was sold
to parties in Chicago and will be
the first to be reduced in the rcgu-
lar way. The result of the pro-
cesses will be watched with great
interest by the reducers, and the
miners of this section are anxious
to hear the report from the Chica-
90 people.

yesterday outside the Seawanhaka tri-
angle course. The corrected time shows
that the older boat won by two minutes
and five seconds and elapsed time by
one minute and 80 seconds. But the fig
ures do not represent the decisiveness
of Columbia's victory, for as matter
of fact, she beat the new boat twice.
The first time. around the triangu-
lar course of lax miles, Columbia gained
over five minutes. Then shift of wind
on the short leg across the sound put
Constitution on even TERMS when a new
race was practically started, the breeze
now coming true again. This time Co
lumbia gained over a minute and q half.
1t was dsy of flukey sound breezes,
but if either boat got any advantage
from the frequent change in the wind 1t
was Constitution. It was at no time
whitecap breeze, and the sea was smooth,
conditions which have heretofore always
favored Constitution.

JEFFRIES AND RUHLIN SIGN
Will Fight for 90 Ia Per Cent Of Gate
Receipts Before Twentieth Cen

(By Associated Press.)

(By Associated PreSS.)
San Francisco, Aug. 23.-James JEFF
fries and Gus Rubin last night signed
articles with the Twentieth Century
Athletic club for 20-round contest in
the early part OF November, the date
to be fixed later. The club guarantees
the fighters 62h per cent. of the re-
ceipts. The question Of a referee was
left open.
"A hitch had previously arisen in the
arrangement for the proposed fght.
When the fighters representatives met
yesterday with those of the local clubs
no sealed bids for the fight were in eyi-,
dence. 1t was announced that the clubs
had agreed not to put in bids until GER
tain clauses of the agreement made by
Rubin and Jeffries Tuesday had been
modified.
The clubs wished to have the $500
bond clause eliminated. also the one
pertaining to the refree. The clubs OBJ
ject to George Siler for referee on the
ground that supervisors will not issue
a permit for the contest II referee
is chosen outside Of the state.
1t also developed that the clubs had
an understanding with each other and
were willing to give up IS per cent OF
the receipts. Madden and Delaney were
holding out for 65 per cent. and $500
training expenses, but finally agreed to
62h per cent. of the receipts.
