There is good deal Of uneasiness,
and ii some places, among Republi-
cans. CONSERVATION, because Senator
Hanna at Columbus the other day ad-
vocated perpetual franchises for what
are usually called public corporations;
that Is. street car lines, electrical and
gas light companies, public water
works, railways and similar utilities.
When once the people get worsted by
public utility corporation, as they
frequently do. Mr.. Hanna wants to
make it possible TO never get cut o.
it. but let it be an imposition on all

PAID IN HIS OWN COIN.

The close of the recent state cam
paign at Little Rock Saturday night
was a disgraceful one indeed, if the
press reports are to be believed.
The opening speech was made by MI.
Myers, the Republican regular nomi-
nee He was given a respectful hear
ing by both Democrats and Republi
cans
Gov. Davis spoke next. He had been
speaking about half an hour when a
certain element in the crowd began to
jeer him and made so much noise he
could not continue. 1t is said that the
disorder was by Republicans, and on
account of the disgraceful scenes the
governor had to quit speaking and
leave the platform.
Gov. Davis is, in great measure,
to blame himself for the treatment he
received at Little Rock. the home Of
the governor, the capital city, the chief
city of the state. His campaign
methods are not of the highest order.
His language is not at all times digni-
fed.
1t will be remembered by the people
of Pine Bluff that when Gov. Davis
spoke here at the courthouse While
making his campaign against Col. Rec
tor for the nomination, he exhibited
political tactics that We're offensive to
decency. He was given a respectful
hearing by everybody present. Judge
Wood. of Hot Springs, was present
to answer Gov. Davis for Col. Rector.

Mcdern Inventions Have Done Much

"SJectaCles,' said an ophthalmolo-
gist, according to the Philadelphia
Record, are as old as wagons, sup
pose, or as clothes. Wasn't a pair
found recently in a mummy case that
dated back to something like 300
years before Christ? But the spec
tacles of the ancients were merely
magnifying glasses, and tAe modern
sorts, the prismatic, the SPHERICAL, the
concave, the convex, ard the cylindri-
cal, which correct double vision, re-
fraction, myopia, hypermetropia, as
tigmatism, etc.-are comparatively
modern inventions. They are made
of rock crystal, and they have done
more good than anything else in
modern medicine, except, perhaps,
anaesthetics. Medical records show
that there is now 20 per cent less OF
blindness than there used to be in
the world, and this Improvement is
due entirely to the use of spectacles,
which have kept weak eyes from sue
cumbing, as braces keep weak limbs
from succumbing. There is also much
less of headache than there was. A
great deal Of that came, you know,
from the eyes, and that sort of head
ache spectacles have banished ut

LAST TO SUFFER TORTURE.
Death Of an Old Man in Switzerland
Recalls HarroWinq Story.

Recalls Narrowing story.
Johann Baptist Matzenauer, who
died in extreme old age at Appenzell
the other day, was the last man in
Switzerland who had to undergo the
horrible process of examination by
to-ture." In the early '40s of the last
century he was accused Of a murder
by his neighbor, Anna Koch. The cir
cumstantial evidence against him
seemed to be complete; BIZ as he re-
fused to confess he was subjected to
the brutal "neckscrew.' watch was at
that time still used in the criminal
procedure of AppeEzell-Inner-Rhoden,
though it had been abolished by the
Ausser-Rhoden. Under all his agony,
however, Matzenauer persisted in the
assertion of his innocence. A few
years later Anna Koch confessed her
self to be guilty of the murder, and
she was executed in 1849. The unjust
sufferings of Matzenauer brought
about the disestablishment of the
medieval engine of torture.-West

leave their anchorage, is not known, ex-
cept possibly by Rear Admirals Higginson
and Coghlan, the officers in command.
Although the period which starts at
midnight is known as the period of pre-
paration it is believed that very soon af-
ter the opening hour arrives the squadron
or some part of it, will get under way
and proceed to an investigation of the
situation in the "enemy's'' country. 1t is
understood that during the period of pre-
paration there may be actual lombard
ment or feints, for the purpose of testing
the efficiency of each part of the line of
forts.
The Squadron was augmented last night
by the arrivel of the converted yacht
Mayf1ower, the Gloucester and the Ley
don.

camping on Martha's Vineyard, return d

the United States against A. E. Heck,
bartender, charged with unlawfully
selling liquor to indins, are in the city
prison because they have not the neces-

fines for being drunk The preliminary
hearing of Heck has been postponed un-

pear as witnesses against the liquor
dealer but before the time of the trial
they had absorbed so much "frewater"
that -thev were una43le to give intelligi-

without funds and will probably stay In
Jail until they get money from the res
