BOOM FOR WHEELER.
Friends Will Make an Effort to Elect

Huntsville. Ala, Nov. 22.-The polit- ical friends of General Joe Wheeler in this part of Alabama have announced a boom in his behalf and will use their influence to have him elected 10 the United States senate in 1902 to sue ceed Senator Edmund w. Pettus. Sen ator Pettus and Senator Morgan both reside in Selma. and th"t is the req son why many Democrats over the state oppose the reelection of the for mer senator. General Wheeler would haze the solid support of his old con gressional district and other districts out of the black belt. He has not yet been consulted in this matter

him as one of the greatest criminals of the country
 In the early sos Heydrick resided in Pine Bluff. He was a painter by trade. About 1895 he and Glenn In- gram figured in a tragedy in the streets of Pine Bluff, in which Ingram was killed. Heydrick was placed in jail and was tried and given the ex- treme sentence for his crime. How ever, in connection with several other criminals confined in the county iaiI he made his escape one night and left this part of the country
 Detective Clay, who then made Pine Bluff his home, was next instrumental ill resurrecting Heydrick from obliv. ion, finding hirR in the state peniten- tiary of Mississippi, serving a sent ence of five years for burglarizing t jewelry store in that state
 It then developed that Heydrick was wanted in Kansas for the grave crime of train robbery. the punishment for that crime in Kansas being death. Acquisition papers were secured by the Kansas governor and he was taken to Kansas to answer for his crime. He was placed under death sentence, but he has been confined in the Kansas penitentiary at hard labor ever since. Should Heydrick be par. doned he will have to face the crime committed here vars ago. and justice will be meted out to him as he de serves.

 GENES A CALL
To Leading Church n State nf Washington and He May Go
 Away from Pine Bluff.

Rev. Frank Thompson, pastor of the Christian church of Pine Bluff. has returned from Hot Springs. where he has just closed a very successful re- vival meeting of two weeks duration The Hot Springs newspapers speak of MT. Thompson in the very highest terms as a pulpit speaker and success ful evangelist.
 Mr. Thompson closed the series of meetings at Hot Springs and returned home earlier than he probably othet- wise would had it not been for the fact that he has important business to bring before his congregation here.
 Mr. Thompson has been offered the pastorate of a prominent church in T thriving city in the state of Washing ton. and he came home from Hot Springs to lay the matter before his congregation. He is very popular with his congregation and they will be loath to let him go away.
 MT. Thompson has made many friends in Pine Bluff. and they are not confined exclusively to the members of his own church. but he is popular with all denominations. If his con gregation should decide to let him leave he Will carry with him the good wishes of everybody in Pine Bluff 10 his new field of labor.

SCHEME NlPpED IN THE BUD

Toronto, Ontario, Nov. 22.-Special dispatches from Vancouver published here say:
 The Youkon insurrection story is not altogether without fuondation. Some hair-brained Americans drew up plans for forcibly deposing the govern ment and police in the Yukon, soma- what similar to the historical ,Jame- son raid in the Transvaal. Major Woods. N. w. M F.. discovered the scheme and took prompt steps to SUD- press it. American officials at Skag- way cooperating The discovery of the scheme is supposed to have nip ped it in the bud.
 The Yukon police force consists of about 250 men. who are provided with LeeEnfeldsZ When the scheme was first discovered Maxim and Colt guns were mounted at White Horse which was the first place to be at tackled. Major Snyder, in charge of the oolce there. also received =re-en- forcements and patrols were kept oa duty night and day.
 Tt is said thatthe scheme origi- mated in Seattle. and S250000 was available to aid the venture. The in formation has been obtained from ex- police officers of the Yukon force and members of the gambling fraternity who have come to the coast cities for the winter, and is guardedly confirm ed by the officials who have just come down from the North.
