The local postofice fight seems to
nave terminated in comedy of er.
fcrs, though resulting in the confirm
Eauon of Mr.. Furth, as the Graphic
kedicted. Mr.. Furth was confirmed
EAst Monday, and still his first init.
Eaation of the glad tidings was receiv-
RM Wednesday afternoon about 5
o'clock.
Mr.. Furth left Pine Bluff last Mon
E@y for Washington to look after his
u1erests and to ascertain why his
|eondrmation was being held up SO
nng. He reached Washington We'd
aesday afternoon and Immediately
'elegraphed relatives here of his ar
nval saying that he would write
ater. Fifteen minutes later another
slegram was received here stating
NAT his trip was useless as he had
zen confirmed on Monday. Mr.,
|surth was ignorant for three days Of
'1s confirmation.
Mr.. Furth. it seems. was not the
sa'y one in the dark about his con-

Comedy of Errors, but Fred
Furth Wins Out All Right

firmation among those who should
have known. A prominent Republi-
can politician of this city, antagonis-
tic to Furth, received a letter from
one of the Indiana members of the
senate, sent from Washington at II
p. m. Monday, in which the Furth
case was referred to. but nothing was
said of his confirmation.
And then the press dispatches from
Washington have never recorded a
line about his confirmation. This is
the strangest thing about the entire
affair.
At any rate there is no doubt Of
Furth's confirmation. His friends in
Pine Bluff are rejoicing, and the sore
heads and "also rams" are bemoaning
the sad fate which has left them out
in the cold. -;
The postofice fight has been one of
the most interesting political contests
to occur in this section in years and
Democrats were as much interested in
the result as the Republicans.

An 800 Pound Babv.

Probably the smallest of largest of
beasts is the juvenile member of the
herd OF performing elephants with
Gentry Bros. famous shows united.
This fine pachyderm has been in this
country but few months yet his ed
ucation is nearly completed. His part
OF the program puts to shame his
older and bigger companions, and on
account OF his size he is able to per.
form several acts which have never
been attempted by elephant trainers
before. The little fellow" in cues.
ton is but one of the many features
presented since the consolidation of
Gentry Bros. famous shows. They
will exhibit here on Monday, March

He Will Spend Term in Jail If
Necessary to Evade Order.

Jefferson City, Mo-, March 27.-G.
A. Vance was today appointed coun
ty judge Of st. Clair county, vice
Judge Peden, who resigned because
Jail life was affecting his health. The
st. Clair county judges are always
elected with the understanding they
are to spend their terms in Jail, if
necessary, in resisting the federa1
court order to pay the ST. Clair coun-
ty bonds for railway which was
never built. The majority court
members are out of Jail, and will try
to meet and transact accumulated
county business before federal mar
shals appear

stump speeches of the past two years
AT the courthouse and at the opera
house he implored the voters of JET
ferson county to vote against Senator
Jones, even if they voted against him
for governor He said some nice
things about Senator Berry, notwith
standing his combination to defeat
Berry and boost himself into the
United States senate.
When he closed his harrangue at
the courthouse, he left the room, his
followers going with him, and went to
the opera house, where he repeated
his same string of chestnuty jokes,
ISLANDERS and misrepresentation.
At the courthouse Judge Wood, of
Hot Springs, answered Davis, and he
exposed the many misstatements
made by the governor. He showed up
Davis record as governor, and proved
to the satisfaction of any thinking
man that Gov. Davis ought to havs
corrected many of the evils
of which he complains of the ad.
ministration of state institutions
while he was attorney general, as it
vas his duty at that time to do so.
He showed that Gov. Davis new plan
of management and bill of fare were
in effect at the penitentary, and had
been for two months, when DAYS had
himself interviewed at St. Louis and
said the Management and bill of fare at
the penitentiary were the very worst
kind. 1t shows that the governor was
ready to speak reproachfully of his
own actions if it would catch the
votes of the unthinking classes. Judge
Woods exposition of Davis VISA com.
plete, but the governor has been so
often exposed in the So. matters in
which Judge Wood exposed him that
it is unnecessary for the Graphic to
go into details of his speech.
At the opera house Prosecuting At
torney Sorrells made a short talk al
the close of Gov. Davis speech, and
then ex-Gov. Clarke made a speech Of
about twenty-five minutes duration
He said nothing new and those who
have heard or read his speech at any
time during the campaign know every.
thing Mr.. Clarke said here last night

rs friends that he was going to
J Ike two speeches. The Graphic was
J newhat credulous at the time as
= the ability of Gov. Davis to make
b separate and distinct speeches.
= was satisfied that for a man of
Wis limited capacity to accomplish
oh feat would be the realization
an apparent impossibility.
But the Graphic is at times charit-
lie, and especially toward the ment-
y unfortunate. 1t thought maybe
melody who could really prepare a

lks for the man who occupies the
tghest Office within the gift of the

kerhaps Jeff was going to spring a
Suple of genuine surprises on the

ew and original speeches. Of course
e Graphic knew that none of the
lvernors proxies could get up two
$parate and distinct original adj
esses, for the only exhibition any Of
lem have vet made in the speaking
hsiness is poll parrot repetition of
e old harrangue which jeff has been
dulging in for the past two years.
Notwithstanding the absurdity of
e proposition, the Graphic was
bshly led into announcing that Jeff

I'D if anybody went to the court

Gov. Davis did no more last night

made up of misrepresentation, glar.

ANOTHER BIG RAIN
Pine Bluffs Streets Once
More Converted Into
Raging Streams.
BRIDGES ON CHERRY AND WAL.
NUT SWEPT OUT AND 1RAF.
FIG SUSPENDED.
The Paved Streets Were Flooded and
the Street Fair Exhibitions Had
to Cease Business.
THE STREETS WE'RE DESERTED

Pine Bluff was visited by another
severe rain last night, and for several
hours the streets were raging rivulets.
Water was above the curbs in the
paved districts, and rubber boots only
could save one from wet feet, In al,
parts of the city the streets and side
walks this morning bore evidence of
the severity of the rain. The streets
were transformed into lakes and run
nlng streams, and the bitches and
drains were full and overlooking with
water. In some cases where drains
were overlooked water backed up un-
der houses and caused great ipcon-
venience.
The rain commenced to fall shortly
after supper and fell almost continu-
ously until midnight, falling intermit-
tently after that hour.
The heavy rainfall caused a wash
out in the old lake bed and did great
damage to the bridges crossing it on
the various streets. The Cherry street
and Walnut street bridges were wash.
ed away to such an extent that pass
age over them was rendered impos.
slble. Men were put to work on the
Cherry street bridge early this morn
ing and in the afternoon had repaired
1T so traffic over it could be resumed.
The Walnut street bridge is nearly a
wreck, and the same may be said of
the other bridges
Reports received from the country
and planting districts indicate that
the rain is doing great damage to cot.
ton.
On account of the terrific rainstorm
of last night the street fair festivities
were brought to stop. Save the con-
slant drops on the roofs and the bonn
bastics in the neighborhood of the:
courthouse, the city was in a state of
quietude. The confetti man was not
on the streets to seal his product, and
one could have worn an opera hat
without being greeted with fusillade
of rubber balls The soaked tents.
shivering on all sides by the blasts of
wind, were the only indications of the
street fair.
So violent was the rainfall and so
full were the streets with running
water that the streets were deserted,
except here and there a man could be
seen running with all his might for
the courthouse to hear the speaking
In the afternoon, a splendid crowd
was out viewing the sights, but
threatening clouds and dashes of rain
drove them from the streets to remain
away for good.
The outlook for favorable weather
has been discouraging all day, and at
late hour this afternoon the rain is
falling with no indications of a near
cessation.
The weather bulletin predicts show
ers for tonight and tomorrow, and
street fair prospects appear decidedly
gloomy for the week.
