Polls.

Polls.
WASHINGTON Sept. IA story wide
" printed by administration organs
says that J Pierpont Morgan has issued
fiat that Theodore Roosevelt must be
defeated for the Republican presidential
nomination In 1904.
According to this story, which was
sent ont from Washington. Morgan
made the following statement to a
friend.
"'He must be defeated for nomination
and safe man must be nominated in
his stead. If he cannot be defeated for
nomination, then we must see that the
Democrats nominate q safe man like
Cleveland, whom the business interests
can support, and beat Roosevelt at the
polls.
Morgan is said to have been displeased
with President Roosevelt since he or.
dered Attorney General Krox to file suit
against the Northern Securities Co.
Then be characterized the executive as
an unsafe man.
Since that time Morgan has frequently
been reported as making secret but
vigorous fight on the president. 1t is
certain that no body Of men dominated

From the Little Rock Democrat
A distinguished visitor In the city
Monday was United States Senator
James K. Jones, who arrived Yesterday
evening from his home at Washington,
Ark. for the purpose of comforting
with Congressman c, C. Reid Of this
district, and members the Board Of
Trade, with reference to certain matters
of great local interest, which it is hoped
to be able to secure through congress
and the departments. He will meet the
conferees at the Board of Trade at p.
NJ. and will probably leave tomorrow.
He expects to go from here to Memphis.
When questioned concerning the
matters proposed for the conference, he
said that he was certainly in favor OF
the enlargement Of Fort Logan H..
Roots to u regimental post, and that the
purpose of the conference is to see what
can be done along this line, and II
proper influence can be brought to bear
to secure 1t. He said that the macad-
amized road to the national cemetery
should be built and he believed there
would be no difficulty in securing It, as
the government usually makes such i'm
provements at all its cemeteries. He
thought that the naming Of the monitor
Arkansas would probably preclude the
namiug of a battleship for the state.
He thinks the federal Jail project can
be pushed through. When questioned
about national matters he said:
II do not think that Mr.. Henderson
has stated the real reason for his with
drawal, but that he realized he would
be defeated by the Democrats, and
therefore retired.
IL believe the Democrats should car.
ry the next house, although no one can
tell anything about an election sixty
days ahead. Everything looks favor
able, and the committee under the
craftsmanship Of Mr.. Griggs Is doing
good work. The general discomfort and
dissatisfaction on account Of the course
of the Republican party, the want Of
confidence in many Of their professions,
and the increasing desire to cut down
the high tariffs which provide shelter
for the trusts, are among the reasons
for the change which l believe to be
reasonably certain. -

The Missouri Pacific Railway

Has succeeded In paralleling the water
ways of its territory, says the st. Louis
"Globe- Democrat. - 1t has a water
line from St. Louis to New Orleans, a
water line from Kansas City to st.

river from Kansas to the Mississippi,
and it has now occupied and will shortly
complete q line from Memphis to Kan
sss City on the water grade along the
White river, the only watercourse be-
tween the Missouri river and the Arkan,

President George Gould made the
following statement In New York upon
his return from the Southwest: 1.-The
result of my trip was most satisfactory.
1t may be summed up by saying that
the conditions existing throughout the
Southwest are as promising as one could
reasonably expect. The crops, particu..
larly the corn crop, are enormous, and
they have now reached stage where
all danger from the weather is over and
their safety practically assured.
''Is would be difficult to overestimate
what these enormous crops will mean
to the prosperity of the country. 1t Is
doubtful II their size can be appreciated
in the East. Really to appreciate them
one has to travel through the West and
see the miles of acres waiting to be hsr-
vested.
1.-THE industrial development Of the
West Ia continuing steadily, New man
ufactories are continuity being started.
Altogether. I do not see single cloud
upon the sky. The prosperity this coun-
try is now enjoying Ia assured beyond a
doubt for at least smother year and a
half.
Nearly every important railroad prop
erty In the West has been completely
rebuilt during the past ten years. They
are today In every sense Of the word

lions between the citizens OF the West
and the railroads have greatly I'm
proved. The antsgonism to the rail

All the lines have made preparations

The Wrong Medicine.

. J. H. Kelly, of the N. C. Co.,, tells a story that is we'll worth publishing. Recently lady residing at town on tho eastern coast telephoned the N. c Co. for bottle of anti-fat, in order to reduce her adipose tissue. At the same time, it 90 happened, that man in the same town had sent an order for condi- tion powders for his horse, as the ami maj was getting very thin. Both orders were dnly filled and despatched by CaptAin Hall, of the Steamer Louise. Bat the good captain made serious mistake. The anti-fat preparation was given 10 the man with the horse; the condition powders went to the lady.
 The horse got thinner and thinner: the lAdy's proportions increased stead fly, and now damage suits are threat ened against Captain Hall and the N. C. Co. by both the horses owner and lady.
