lowing amendment:
Whereas. There is doubt as to
the legality of the proposed amend
ment 10 the constitution OF this state
known as the judicial amendment
growing out Of a misconception Of the
true import Of the joint resolution
proposing the said amendment, and,
"Whereas, We believe there is M
illegality in the said amendment, and,
whereas. there is Il pressing need Of

sociation to efforts to have the legs-

this idea. The resolution raised a
warm and rather acrimonious argn-
ment. U. S. &, Pitzer, Of Martins

the idea that politics was just as es-

government.
Mr.. Daily, Mr.. BASEL and Mr..

speeches in opposition. Mr.. Harmcr

isfaction, and so thoroughly convinced
his party of his integrity and ability
that he was brought forward as ctndi-
date for governor.
Soon after his election it became evil
dent that he possessed aggres five
qualities which were far more notice
able in that exalted post than they had
proved while he was merely attorney
general.
As governor he suddenly bror ght
hims elf and his state before the pub
lie eye by his action in the proposed
bett-Fitzsimmons fight.
Corbett was at that time champion
heavyweight pugilist of the world.
Fitzsimmons had challenged him, the
articles had been signed, and all that
remained was to fix on a place where
the fight could occur without legal in
reference.
Hot Springs, Ark, was at last chosen.
All arrangements were made, the date
was set for October, 1895; every legal
obstacle was apparently cleared away
and the fight seemed certainty. But
at this juncture Gov. Clark quietly for
babe the men to hold the contest in Ar
kansas, declaring it illegal. This unex-
pected fiat reused the liveliest sort of
opposition from all sides. Protests
poured in, a mass meeting was held,
money is said to have been offered in
enormous sums, influential statesmen
and politicians urged the governor to
abandon his attitude of resistance. 1t
was pointed out that he was antagoniz-
ing the people and endangering his fu-
ture career.
The only effect of all these pleadings
was to strengthen the governor in his
decision that the fight should not come
off in Arkansas.
When it was suggested that means
might be taken to circumvent his au-
thority he raked up an old statute
which empowered the governor to or
ganize an army of 100, 900 men, if neces-
sary, and take possession of any sec
ton of the state, holding it until Or
der was restored.
Clark threatened to raise such an
army and, with himself at its head, to
quell any disturbance incident on his
refusal to permit the fight to GO on.
This proved a death-blow to the
fighters hopes, but it was, perhaps, al
most as hard blow to Gov. Clark's
career.

young man, he had earned the reputa-

CLARK BEATS JONES.
Bryan's Manager Defeated in Ar.
kansas Legislative Fight.
Victor Is an Eccentric Chap and .
Halter from Way Back-His Rec
ord as Governor Marked
Bold Decision.

By defeating James X. Jones, for
mer manager of Bryan's campaign, in
their recent senatorial battle, eX-Gov.
James 2. Clark, of Arkansas, has once
more demonstrated the eccentric fight
ing qualities which have made him so
prominent as well as so bizarre a fig
ure in western politics.
Jones has already served one term
as United States senator for Arkan-
sas. He came up for reelection, his
chief opponents being Gov. Jefferson
Davis and eX-Gov. Clark. Davis quick
ly dropped out, leaving the struggle
between Jones and Clark. The latter,
after hot campaign, proved the VIC
tor.
Ex-Gov. Clark, although only At
years old, has had long and decidedly
eventful-not to say tumultuous-po-
litical career.
He is in many respects, says the New
York World, the typical western
statesman, the sort seen of late more
often on the stage than in real life.
He is character essentially American,
and as incongruous in our present SEN
ate as a mailed visigoth at a village
prayer meeting.
"Old Cotton Top" as Clark has been
nicknamed, on account of his snow
white hair, is very tall, lean and
straight as an Indian, with a hand
some, distinguished face and a man
ner whose outer dignity at times fails
to cloak the impulsiveness and even
ferocity of the inner man.
He is a man who has ever stood firm
on all points where he believed honor
to be involved, and who, in defense of
his principles, has made hosts of enc
mics, damaged his political prospects
and has even been carried to the point
of physical violence.
Clark's first public Office of note was
that OF attorney general of Arkansas.
In this position he gave universal sat

saw? There IN the center of the De-
batable Ground were Bill Nithers and
Bess Jackson holding hands, and Bess'
sunbOnnet was pushed way back.
When Bud recovered sufficiently he
looked beyond the patch and there
stood old 81 Withers grasping gun and
looking al the pair of lovers. There
couldn't be any shooting that day on
either side, and both old fellows turned
and went home. 1t was not a pleasant
evening that was spent that night in
either the Jackson or the Withers
households. Bud stormed and fumed
and told Bess that she was bringing
everlasting disgrace on him by taking
up with the son of that old thief,
Withers.
81 Withers said a good deal of the
same sort to his son Bill, but Bill, be-
ing fellow who thought for himself,
held the old fellow pretty we'll in hand.
About week after this a negro APP
peared at the Jackson home and re-
ported ivory-billed woodpeckers in the
big woods. Bessie had been forbidden
to leave the house. Bud seized his gun
and made for the big patch of timber.
The negro had described the bird ac-
curately. Bud reached the edge of the
woods, plunged in and had not gone
ten yards before he heard a strange
rafting cry. He knew it from the de-
scription he had heard. He went in
its direction. In minute he saw
a great big ivory-bilIed woodpeck-
er scuttle round the bole of
beech. Buds heart jumped into his
throat. 1t was the first living ivory
billed woodpecker he had ever seen.
The tree trunk was between him and
the bird. He rounded it cautiously.
The woodpecker left the tree with
cry. Buds shotgun went to his Shout
der. There was a report and the bird
wavered. Another report, and the
woodpecker, flying another few yards,
fell limp to the ground behind some
bushes. Bud dashed forward with a
great hurrah in his heart. He reached
the spot where the bird had fallen.
He knew from the way it went down
it was dead-but where was it? Not
feather could he find. Two little
drops of blood stained the fallen leaves
and that was all. Bud searched for
three hours and then went home with
sorrow in his heart such as he had
not known since his wife died.
The morning of that woodpecker
episode Bill Withers was skirting the
woods in the hope of getting glimpse
of Bessie. He had a retriever dog
with him that was thrashing about in
the woods and fields by turns in the
nervous way that such dogs have when
their owners are out on hunting bent.
All at once the retriever burst from
the woods and dropped something at
his masters feet. Bill picked it up.
He knew it was an ivory-billed wood
pecller, for he had seen one in a glass
case at the capital in jefferson City.
He knew of Bud Jackson's almost in
sGne desire to get hold of a Missouri
killed ivory bill. He had heard the two
shotgun reports that Immediately pre-
coded the bringing of the bird to him
by his retriever. He put two and two
together and smiled.

A PRIM ROSE.

Before the earliest cuckoo calls,
Or swallows build beneath the caves,
Or children dream of cow-slip balls,
You shine among your cringled leaves
AS if, from yon bright heaven afar,
Some angel hand had dropped star.
How faint and yet how sweet your breath,
Gods little messenger of hope!
That tells how life has vanquished death
In budful wood, on verdant slope;
Your glistening salver seems to hold
The years first gift of sunlight gold.
A beauteous flower! to all hearts dear,
Because all hearts with gladness thrill
To know that lovelier days are near;
For, though gray Winter fingers still.
His wrath is spent, his storms are few,
And Spring begins her reign with you.
