clare that Pennsylvania has no political
evils worthy of mention, as Penny
packer did last November, can insist
with equal consistency that He'll has
and that Satan lacks but few of the
qualities necessary to make him a
saint.
Republican papers have done a good
deal of boasting lately about our in
creasing trade with the Philippines. In
May our exports amounted to less than
100000, not counting 1000 coffins in
which to bury our dead and dying SOL
diers. These at So each would amount
to more than all the other exports, but
of course, they must be counted in
showing the great benefits of the war;
as must also the whisky and beers
used by our soldiers and the natives
whom we have the honor Of teaching
the use of strong drink.
Has the Republican who thinks that
Quay controls the movements of the
heavenly bodies ever stopped to think
of the fearful consequences to the state
and nation should the Old Man peg out
in one of his many cases of indisposi-
tion? According to his own statement
at the last state convention, made with
a voice filled with fearful sadness, he
is the last buffalo bull on the plains;
nd lo H., to
to see where the buffalos would soon
be at with the last bull gone. With
Bull Andrews In reserve there is per-
haps no immediate cause of alarm.
If the notorious Mayor Ashbridge
does not object, Vanderslice will sue
ceed Peunypacker when he resigns.
Quay, Durham, Penrose and Stone, like
Barkis, are all said to be "willin" and
all that remains is to know whether
Vanderslice will suit Ashbridge. Of
course the million voters of the state
have no more to say about the matter
than have the serfs of Russia. If Ash
bridge has pal whom he wants on the
bench then under the circumstances,
Quay, Penrose & Co. will give way.
They want to use Ashbridge good and
hard about election time, and just now
he can have anything he asks for.
Hon. John H. Fow, who Is a good
constitutional lawyer, contends that no
person can hereafter vote In Pennsyl-
yania unless he is registered. He
maintains, and with apparent good rea-
son, that the passage of the constitu-
tional amendment last fall, annulling
the clause in the constitution which
permitted a voter to vote by swearing
that he had paid tax even If not regis
tered, makes it obligatory now for all
voters to be registered. 1t is always
best to be on the safe side, and as no
Democrat wants to lose his vote this
fall, it will be well for every one to
make sure that his name Is on the
registry list.
Perhaps it would be Just as well for
Hon. w. II. Andrews not to have New
Mexico admitted as a state to give him
a job as United States senator. He
never fails to go to the limit In Penn
fylvania when Quay yells for help to
get himself out of a hole, and the law
seems powerless to punish no matter
how flagrant the violation; but he
should keep in mind the fact that In
New Mexico they have a habit of
shooting at times when the law seems
a little tardy or inefficient. William
might be a better risk for the insur-
ance companies by keeping under the
protecting wing of the great Pennsyl-
yanian whose greatness; according to
Pennypacker, amounts almost to
genius.

Washington, Oct 22-- Secretary shaw

While the mbney market was tight

HAS TOO MANY WIVES.
A Former Arkansan in the Tolls at Memphis, Charged With Murder
 and Bigamy.

Detective J. H. Clark arrived last night to make investigations of marriage license issued in 1897 to w. H. Elders, Sof this city, and Lorine Parks, of Ash Hill, says the Poplar Bluff Citizen of the 18th.
 Poplar Bluff people will remember this man Elders for he lived here for several years. He is now in jail at Memphis, charged with murder and bigamy. He has five wives and is en- gagged to another, who visits him daily and brings him all manners of dainty edibles.
 Elders came here in '97 from Ark ansas, where he left wife. He was married to Lorame Parks, of Ash Hill, at this place and left her shortly after wards. He went to Searcy, Ark, and married again, thence to Jackson, Tenn, where he entered into his fourth matrimonial adventure. His last experience was at Memphis, and before he could marry again he very indiscreetly committed murder and was apprehended.
 There were two wives by the name of Daisy, and as one of them was di- vorced from him both claim to be that one. It is thought, however, that the Ash Hill wife was the divorced one. Several of the marriages were illegal and all the wives were deserted after a short time.
 He seems to have run up against it this time, but wife to be No. hopes for his acquital.

WANTS TO KNOW.
Editor of the INDEPENDENT: :--.

Editor of the INDEPENDENT:
 In your issue of the 14th, inst, notice the action of the city council in regard to petition signed by 54 law abiding and representative citizens of Newport, in which they notify the petitioners that if they will make the necessary oath that the law in regard to blind tigers is being violated, that the mayor will issue warrants and bring the parties violating the law to justice.
 Now, l would like to call the at- tention of the members of the council, especially the mayor, to the law in regard to this matter, and after they have read the law would ask them if the mayor is not ignoring it. If my memory serves me correctly, I think when the mayor takes his oath of of flee he swears that he will support and enforce the laws of the State of Ar kansas, and the laws and ordinances of the city, and, after he has read the law, would ask him to decide for himself if it requires the oath of some private citizen to get him to do his duty which he has sworn he will do. ACT 1899, PAGE 11.--It is hereby made and declared to be the duty of chancellors, circuit judges, justices of the peace, mayors and police judges, on information given or on their own knowledge, or when they have reas- enable grounds to believe that alco- hol, spurious, ardent, vinuous, malt or fermented liquors, or any com pound or preparation thereof com monly called tonics, bitters or medi- cated liquors of any kind are kept in any prohibited district to be sold con- trary to law, or have been shipped in- to any prohibited district to be sold contrary to law, that they issue warrant, directed to some peace off, cer, directing in such warrant a search | for such intoxicating liquors, speci- | flying in such warrant the place to be searched and directing such officer on | finding any such liquors in any pro- hibited district to publicly destroy the same.
 Here is the law, Mir. Mayor; please read it, ana say whether or not you have reasonable grounds to believe it is being violated. Very respectfully, J. E. WILLIAMS.

MURDERER UNKNOWN.
Mrs. Ed Lewis of Forrest City Meets Death In Horrible Manner At The Hands of Parties Un-
 known.

Forrest City, Oct 15.-A very sad affair occurred Monday, resulting in the death of Mrs. Ed Lewis, in most horrible manner, about seven or eight miles south of here. Mrs. Lewis was riding from her home horseback over to where her husband was employed atA fishing camp on the St. Francis river. The horse came into the camp riderless. A man was sent on the horse to see what was the matter. A mile or so away he found Mrs. Lewis lying in some bushes, terribly wound ed, her skull crushed in at the back part of her head, a deep cut on the forehead and other wounds It was supposed that the horse had thrown her, but there was some suspicious surroundings, and the coroner was notified and went there yesterday and made thorough investigation, re- sulting in verdict of death at the hands of an unknown party. They found finger prints on her throat and a wad of her hair pulled out and lying a little distance away, showing con- fiict had taken place. Mrs Lewis had $65 hid away in her clothes un- touched, and the matter is mystery. The neighbors are searching the vi cinity for further clues, and summary vengeance will be the result if the perpetrator is found.

WALLACE'S CLEAN SHOW.

Those who had the pleasure of att tending yesterdays performances of the Wallace shows, says the Kansas City Journal, were struck by several things which broke the traditions of the itinerant circus. Tn the first place, there was an air of cleanliness about the whole thing which was impressed upon the visitor the moment he step- ped upon the grounds. This spick and span impression continued and grew also throughout the perform ance, and while there were theregular number of bankers and peanut men and red lemonade vendors and con- cert ticket "agents,p all eagerly after the coin, they were of gentlemanly

breed and did not obtrude themselves unnecessarily. Even the roustabouts were good-natured, and the absence of any sort of profanity was most marked.
 ''Mr. Wallace is particular on the subject of keeping things nice,'' was the way one employe put it when stranger asked him how it came about that all the costumes appeared to be new. This feature was one that call- ed forth much favorable comment.
 There was not soiled costume and as the performers came out from their dressing rooms they appeared as i'm maculate as though they had never before been in the sawdust arena. Even the ropes were clean and the nickel plated supports for the guard ropes around the outside of the hip podrome were newly polished.
 The same idea of having things clean was carried out in the circus acts themselves. Not trace of vulgarity was there and all this is the reason why the Wallace show is great.
 The date for Newport is Thursday, November 4.
