The saving of $50 ton, on rubber

moral here which is not difficult to
extract.
Current issues of the Republican

contain no reference to the candidacy
of the Honorable Henry w. Harter, for

Miss Lula Marshall and MT. William
 Hall Now Man and Wife.

Justice of the Peace J. H. Garrett Thursday morning performed a mar riage ceremony that for originality can hardly be surpassed. The parties were white-Miss Lula Marshall and MT. William Hall.
 After directing that the prospective groom and bride join hands, Justice Garrett said:
 William, William, William Hall, do you declare to me that you want to get married.'
 Yes responded the happy groom.
 Lula Marshall will you always do what William wants you to do?"
 Yes, sir" she politely answered.
 Then you are now already man and wife, and may God Almighty have mercy on you

RAT RAN UP HER BACK
And a Gallant Youth Rushed to Tier
 Aid and Killed It.

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 2S.-Piercing shrikes from Q young lady jumping from a buggy near the Panhandle shops attracted the employees there, and a number of them ran to the scene Before the shopmen arrived a young man had reached the side of the young lady and she explained, between hysterical sobs that rat had run under her clothes and was then on her back between her shoul- ders.
 The young man grabbed the rat and sqeezed it till it ceased to struggle. She then asked him to open her dress and take the rodent out The valiant rescurer was greatly embarrassed, but having put his hand to the rat he would not look back, but complet- ed the benefactioD.
 By this time number of Pan-han- de employees had arrived upon the scene. and when the rat was finally thrown into the street the work of the gallant rescuer was given a hearty round of applause. The blushing young woman was profuse in her thanks as she climbed back into the buggy and she continued her journey into the city.

A majority of the State Capitol Commission reports in favor of pay ing Architect Mann per cent of the cost of construction of the new State Capitol building for his services. Ar chitect Mann's fees under this ruling will amount to about S50,000, a pretty good sum for so small and short a service. The majority report Of the subcommittee is made and favored by Commissioners Levesque and New man, while minority report is sub- mitted by Commissioner Donaghey. calling attention to the proposition of E. P. Milburn. of N. C., to do the work for s10,000, and of E. E. Meyer. of Detroit Mich, offering to do the work for s1S,000. If the work on the new State Capitol shall be abandoned, it will be because of such extravagant and excessive fees as are proposed to be paid Architect Mann by the Com mission for his services. The people Of Arkansas are anxious for a new State Capitol, but they are not in a mood to indulge in extravaganza.

The Arkansas Legislature seems determined to hang on as long as pos sible. Tn order to do so, disgraeeful row and unparliamentarly wrangle was precipitated by Representative Toney, of Jefferson county, one day last week in which, we believe, nearly every representative from South Ar kansas lent him aid, except, possibly Representative Chew, of Union coun- ty, who knows and contends that the business of the Legislature can and ought to be transacted within the le- gal limit of sixty days. Such scenes as reported enacted are a'disgrace to the State, but that six dollars a day seems to have oyerbalanced all just ness and right and any thought of the tax payers interest. It's a pity Rison BaZoo.

Sugar in France.

One reason why the French people consume so little sugar is because their ways of living require less of that article. For the great mass of the French people breakfast consists of a bowl of soup, which is also ire quently part of the other two meals. Their drink is wine, and, as they use but little tea or coffee, especially in the country, there is scarcely any de- mand for sugar. They make neither preserves nor cake in the family. The usual dessert is fruit and cheese. The high tax Of cents per pound on sugar is pretty fully paid by the well-to-do people who live in the cities and who take coffee or chocolate for breakfast and small cup of black coffee after dinner

The Time to Buy.

There are many advantages in
making holiday purchases early.
The stock is new and fresh and has
not been picked over as it will be
nearer Christmas. The clerks are
not so tired and worn as they Will
naturally be later The shopper can
be more deliberate when doing early
shopping and can purchase more
economically and satisfactorily. Goods
purchased early will he delivered
early. There is ample time now to
pack presents for friends and rela-
tives in this country and abroad
Now is the time to get all this work
done. Read the advertising columns
of the Argus, purchase early, and
the approach of Christmas will be
much happier and the holiday sea
son will be a pleasant one. Avoid
the rush.

Hon. AdIai +. Stevenson delivered
a brilliant address this week before
the Illinois Historical society at
Springfield, on Early Illinois His
tory" The former vice president is
one of the most distinguished and
eloquent of our countTy's statesmen.
He came TO Illinois as 4 boy over
half century ago. and ever since he
arrived at manhood has been closely
identified with the public affairs of
the commonwealth. His fund of in
formation in regard to Illinois in its
early days is probably superior 70
that of any other living man, and he
has the ability to make the subject
interesting and instructive. The
theme of Mr.. Stevenson's address is
an attractive one. II has been the
inspiration of familiar song and
story in scores of literary produc-
tions, but in none of these has the
scope of the work permitted the di-
versity of thought and the com
pleteness of historical facts that
signalized the address of Mr.. Steven

True Heroes Ignored.

The Washington Post publishes a
table of figures taken from the re-
cords of the auditor for the navy
department, showing the prize and
bounty moneys which have been dis
tributed among the commanding of
ficers who participated in the naval
operations in the war with Spain.
The figures are authentic and show
with painful clearness that the sys-
TN of favoritism which enabled
Sampson TO become commander of
the most important fleet of modern
warships that was ever organized was
maintained to the point of securing
for him payment of the sum of $685.
1914 as bounty and prize money in
recognition of feats of valor which
he did not perform during the Span
ish war. His prize money for vessels
captured and destroyed by the
Brooklyn and Oregon under COM
mand of Admiral Schley amounted
TO S14.132.44. This money, in addi-
ton to $3.50 Tor bounty alleged to
have been earned at ManzanillO and
SIS, 1875 for prizes captured in the West
Indian operations, has actually been
paid to Sampson
More extraordinary even than these
to Sampson was the pay
ment of $1A.O26.OS TO Captain French
Z. Chadwick. who commanded the
New York, Simpsons flagship. The
records show that Chadwick drew
two portions of bounties and prize
one as fleet captain and chief
of staff and the other as captain of
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1901-12-13

the New York, which did not partici-
pate in the destruction of Cervera's
fleet and only arrived at the point
where the Colon went ashore and
surrendered one hour and twenty
three minutes after her flag had
been struck to Admiral Schley.
Admiarl Schley, who discovered the
Spanish fleet at Santiago and sue
cessfully bottled il in that port and
who at later date with the Brook
lyn and the Oregon and other iron
clads, under his command, destroyed
Cervera's ships, has received from
the treasury up to date the insignifi-
cant sum of S149.53. This was his
share for the capture of a Spanish
schooner. The naval prize court
awarded him 1884. For some rea-
son, which nobody undertakes to eX-
plain. this money has been and is
being withheld from the hero of San
tiago. 1t is supposed to represent
the share to which he is entitled for
the destruction of Cervera's ships.
Chadwick. who was at Siboney when
Schley opened the engagement with
the Spanish fleet, is awarded SILL
775.1O as captain of the New York
and 81 .5S4.9s as fleet caPtainSbecause
the Spanish fleet was destroyed.
Not only is this the case. but he has
collected the money. He and Samp-
son, the two pets of the naval clique,
headed by Crowninshield. have been
enabled TO draw from the treasury
the rewards which are so obviously
out of proportion TO the services
they rendered their country. The
only manner in which they could
have secured this money was through
the influence of Secretary Long.
Admiral SchIey. Notwithstanding
that he received but S149.53, is for
tunate by comparison with Captain
Francis \. Cook, the gallant and
loyal sailor who commanded the
Brooklyn, and Captain Charles +.
Clark. who commanded the bulldog"
of the navy. the battIe-ship Oregon.
Neither of these officers has received
n dollar. Captain Cooks award is the
paItrv sum of 81. 1902. while that of
Captain Clark is S1.9s9.6O. less than
Evans and Taylor's and but slightly
more than that of the late Captain
Philip of the Texas. The Brooklyn
and the Oregon fought and won the
battle. The Brooklyn. single-handed.
as was made clear in the Schley court
of inquiry. bore the brunt of the bat
tie with Cervera's ships without as
sistance for twenty-five minutes be-
fore the Oregon came to her aid.
Commander Wainwright. who com
manded the Gloucester and fought
the Spanish torpedo boats single
handed. has been awarded S435.6S.
but has not received dollar of it.
Commander Sharp of the Vixen. who
displayed reckless valor in keeping
abreast of the fight. Notwithstanding
that his ship was a mere cockleshell,
was awarded but S339.32. as against
S6SG.sO for Captain Eaton. whose ship
never got into the fight at all.
Rear Admiral Watson. who com
manded the division Off Havana.
where he undoubtedly performed ser
vices az gallant as those credited to
Sampson. has been paid SIS. Ad-
miraI Watson may consider himself
fortunate. however. because he has
got his money. Admiral Dewey re-
ceived $3.50 as his share of the prize
money won by the fleet in Manila
