WAYFARER'S NOTEBOOK
lqsoIsnt Man Was Drunk

There is no more disgusting sight
than TO see a man drunk and acting
in an ungentlemanly and impertinent
manner towards a woman. One night
recently the Wayfaror saw a oOlorcd
girl subjected TO such an annoyance
by a man, who, II he had not been
drinking, would not have acted in such
a manner.
The girl boarded a Delaware avenue
car at Ninth and Market streets and
sat alongside of this tall, lean.
lank specimen of drunken humanity.
She was bright respectable looking,
well-dressed garl and gave no one any
excuse to take liberties with her.
1he drunk" did not need any en-
couragement He was insolenuy ia
miliar almost instantly. The girl was
frightened and Indignant She looked
at the man i'm scOrn, but he was too
far under the influence Of drink to
mind that, and he kept right on.
The conductor noticed the annoyance
That the girl was subjected to. and he
told her TO take another seat. SHE
moved and the fellow attempted TO
follow her. The conductor was a
small man, but he was fun Of grit and
commanded The man to keep his seat
The drunk clustered and bluffed, but
THE conductor was firm and threatened
to throw him from tho car unless he
behaved himself. The other male pas
sengers We're ready to back up the
conductor and the fellow was not too
drunk 10 realize that he was not
popular so he quieted down.

NEW SPAPER OPINION
senaior Jones pefeat

From the Philadelphia Press.
II Senator Jones is defeated he has
met disaster after one OF the hardest
fought campaigns Arkansas has known
in years During his thirty years in
public life he HAS naturally made enc
mics In his own party as we'll as
among the opposition When he COM
pletes his term next March he will
have been twenty-fOur years in Con-
gress, six of which were spent in the
House and eighteen will have been
spent in the Senate. His services as
chairman of the Democratic National
Committee in two Presidential cam
paigns, both of which he lost. have
also brought him conspcuously before
the public but have not added to the
number OF his friends i'm the Demo-
cratic party. And consequently when
he came up for reelection TO the Sen
ate his enemies took advantage of the
opportunity TO attack him and they
have probably succeeded in defeating
him
The argument which weighed the
heaviest against Senator Jones was the
charge Of duplicity i'm the appointment
of a member OF the st. Louis Fair Com

ing how he. the senator. went TO see
President Mckinley in February. 1901,
''had him all TO himself" had a full
talk and spread himself" and got
what he declared 10 be virtual adj
mission that the Ex-Governor would
get tlhe appointment IL lis stated now
however. that at the same time Senator
Jones was giving Ex-Governor Jones
these assurances he was recommending
another man for the place, who was
appointed The original letters tc
prove this charge are published amt
Senator Berry is cited as a witness.

COMPRESS Il.

The misfortunes that have followed
the compress since the fire Of last winter
were followed up Tuesday by the wreck.
ing of the lower platen OF the press
while at work getting out a lagre ship
ment of cotton. The press has been in
operation forlseveral weeks and YVES
just beginning to do a full days work.
The lower platen was broken half in
two and it is impossible to repair the
break. No one was hurt by the acct
dent, which is indeed fortunate. About
twenty hands were at work near the
press and it was fortunate that none of
them were neal enough to be crushed by
the heavy irons. The platen weighs
about 1900 pounds. A telegram was
sent Immediately to the Webb Compress
Co., of Minden, La, who sent a ma
here to look after the wreck. The Webb
Co., propose to put in a new press in
thirty days and it is now being consider
ed by the stockholders which would be
best to do. The cost of repairing the
old would nearly equal the cost OF a
new press.
The loss OF business so far has been
great, both to the town and the COM
press company and we trust that the
damages may be repaired without de-
lay.
