CLARKE AND PARRISH

Ex.Gov. Jas. P. Clarke arrived in the c,,y early yesterday morn. ing, and spent tho greater portion of the day shaking hands with his many old.time friends of this county-made by association and reputation by 8 long term of resi- denoe in Eastern Arkansas, and incidental business and social in tercourse. He was cordially, and we may truthfully say, heartily TO- ceived.
 In the afternoon, at the hour advertised, large and represent a,ive audience of the sovereigns of St. Francis gathered at the court house 10 hear the ex.Governor speak upon his candidacy for the United States Senate, which he did in a masterful and eloquent manner for about two hours. His straightforward explanation of his part in the Hudson Bank case is generally believed to be true, and he is very generally acquitted of tho charge of infdelity to bis State in thus matter. He at tack ad tho record of Senator Jones and made him out nothing, if not a Republican. This part of the speech is discredited by those who stop to consider that Senator Jas. K. Jones of Arkansas is the very executive head of the Democratic party Tn the United States.
 Gov.Clsrke spoke at great length about the American Cotton Com. pany-owners of the round bale glns-belng gigantic, grasping and designing trust, and arraigned Senator Jones for being stock holder. The speech and the gov ernor wore both heartily ap preciated, regardless of personal preferences.
 Hon. Eugene Parrish, of Jones. boro, Craighead county, candidate for congress from the First Dis trict, was next introduced, and though he spoke at great disad- vantage and under embarrassment 10 restless audience, tired from long and quiet sitting, he presented lis candidacy and bis vlews upon many important subjects in an elo. quent and mastertul manner. He is speaker of more than ordinary depth and talent, and informs us that he will visit this county at a future date, to be announced later, and speak to the people fully.

MR. EDITOR:

MR. EDITOR:
 see there is to be vote on the ques. tlon of stock or no stock on the streets. If the streets are valuable for pastur- age, (not q good thing to advertise, if true, and a valuable stock raising in- dustry can and will be carried on in the streets and alleys, then the stock ord nance should go. This IS the business view of it, to say nothing of the Ri- thetic side, which is of 80 much inter est to the ladies, with now and then man inclined to appreciate it.
 In course of their growth towns ire quently reach the point where the req sons for keeping stock off the streets outweigh all counter considerations. It is said that the stock law is against the interest of the poor man. That de- bends on which poor man you have in mind. The poor man who has bought lot and intends improving it for d home, can do it with much less expense II he has no fence to build The poor maDlwho has few hogs will have some benefit from having them run at large, but Dlne times out of ten not one-fourth as much as he counts on.

A Good Recommendation

berlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets Is almost invariably to those who have once used them, says Mr. J. II. Weber, a prominent druggist of Cascade. Iowa What better recommendation could any medicine have than for people to call for It when again in need of such a remedy? Try them when you feel dull after eating, when you have bad taste in your mouth feel bilious. have no appetite or when troubled with constipation. and you are certain to be delighted with the prompt relief which they afford.

In the usual column may be found the announcement of Mr. E l.. Vadakin as a candidate for Re. corder of the incorporated town of Forrest City, subject to the Democratic Primary election. Mir. Vadakin served one term as Re. cordcr, and was defeated for re- election. He was unavoidably ab- sent from the city at the tune, and hence could not personally look alter his interests. He is qualified for the position, and so far as we know, gave perfect satisfaction turing the time he filled the office. He is candidate upon his merits and the position ho takes and maintains upon public quebtio ons. If elected, he promises to discharge the duties of the office faithfully md to the best of his ability, and to uphold every measure which, in h,s judgment, is for the bes. in
 erests of the town as whole. His views upon the stock law are we'll known, and if elected will vote his sentiments first, last and all the time on this question. The fact is that he would have been a candidate for no other considera- tisn, the jeopardy of that law alono prompting him to oppose Mr. Pearson, who, it is understood, would vote to repeal the law.
 Mir. Vadak,n has many clalms upon the suffrage of the democrats oi this town. He deserves the gravest and highest consideration, and THE TIMES bespeaks for him your vote and influence.

It is the rankest ponsence to say that the stock law is generally op- pressive to the poor. Tho most disgrun,led, the greatest agitstor- of the opposition to the stock law, are we'll able to keep up and feed their stock. But they expect a poor old COW to support the famil,
 at home and get a living the best she can off of the streets and by

Some voters say they want the hogs to run at large, but not tn, cows, horses, etc. - Others sa, they want the cows turned loos, upon the streets, but not the hog, and horses. Some want one thing some another. If you vote dowr the stock law you will not gel what you want, but you will gel what your vote means. A vot, "Against Stock Law" means thar all stock shall run at large, ano that there shall be no restrictions upon hogs or any other kind oi stock. Do you want the filthy things upon our streets {? If not. vote "For Stock Law"

BUNS PEDDLE PANTS
Strangers Have Been Disposine Of
What is Thought to Be Articles Of
Mems Wearing Apparel Stolen From
Some Nearby Town-one Arrest
Made and Others Expected to Follow.

There is a gang of "bums" in town
who for the past day or two have been
doing wholesale business in disposing
of clothes, mainly trousers, that are
thought to have been stolen from some
stock In nearby town.
Officer Weaver is on the trail and has
already made one arrest and it is likely
tina, more Will follow.
Reports have como to tire south side
police that yesterday a crowd of three
or four of the gentry had disposed of
several pairs of new pants that had
apparently just come out Of some
clothing stock. One wanderer was
picked up by Officer Weaver this morn
ing or South Third avenue. He had
IN his possession q pair of trousers
that he claimed he had purchased from
a man in nearby saloon. This gang
is being watched for it is known from
overheard that there is a
crib Ct clothing. irsthe city from which
they are drawi ,ileir supply that they
are disposing. There Is every indicn-
tion that this gang is conducting q
systematic bargain sale of stolen cloth
ing
