INSURGENTS WIN
 INJUNCTION SUIT.
Chancellor Martin Dismisses Injunc- tion Proceedings For Lack Of Jurisdiction Greaves' Name Will Appear As Republi-
 can Nominee.

The petition filed by H. H. Myers regular republican candidate for gov ernor, for an injunction against Secre- tary of State Crockett to prevent him from certifying to the county boards of election commissioners the name of Charles D. Greaves as a republican candidate for governor was dismissed Tuesday afternoon by Chancellor Martin of the Pulaski chancery court, on the ground that he had no juris- diction.
 Tn dismissing the case Chancellor Martins opinion was delivered in a few we'll chosen words that presented the case, and his reasons for dismiss ing it, in clear and lucid form. His words in part were 'sThe petition for temporary injunction is denied on the ground that the chancery court, under the constitution and statutes, has no jurisdiction to adjudge and en- force purely political rights, or to determine questions of purely po- litical character.
 According to the decision, the names of Mr. Greaves and MT. Myers will appear on the ticket as simply republicans"

BOY KILLED NEAR BEEBE.

Beebe, August 12.-An unknown white boy was struck on the head yesterday by the fast mail train No. 4, on the Iron Mountain road, be- tween Fort Smith Crossing and Me Almont. The train crew carried him to this place. His skull was broken and he died from his injuries about Il a. m. The trainmen were-unable to get a doctor until they reached here. He was insensible of his suf- fering. He was about 13 years old, dark skinned, black hair and eyes. He wore two pairs of pants and three shirts, and had paper in a pocket purporting to be an installment fur niture contract in favor of the Mar shall Furniture Company of Marshall, Texas, and signeds by R. T. Rifles. There was no other clue to his iden- tity. He will be buried here.

up to the time he needed fedora office and had called Clayton a "Cyclops.n The s'regular" nominee for governor had also taken retainers amounting to over $2,00O from men seeking to defraud the government by homesteading land, while Bratton, his partner in law, was prosecuting them, a thing unknown in the ethics of the profession.
 The speaker closed, stating that he had received message from Little Rock announcing the failure of the regulars to keep Greaves off the ticket and promised that when the votes were counted in November the days of Claytonism would be over.

A Real Selfish Man.

The meanest man." said an enthu-
siastic woman cyclist last Sunday,
that lives in Flathead is the selfish
creature who owns part of the Still
water river and the pretty road that
skirts the east side from Lebert &
Burns mill. We had planned such
nice ride along that road, and 10!
and behold we had just got started
when we ran up against a locked
gate and a sign, no fishing or tres
passing on these premises and so,
of course, we had to turn about and
hike up the hill. The lower road is
fine wheeling and a shady, delightful
spot for a rest, and the party was
very much provoked. That Mr.. An
derson must be awful mean to want
all the scenery and even forbid fish
ing in public stream, but he ought
to know that his gate and sign are
hateful and will not bring any JOY to
him if the Sunday strollers are an
authority. Isn't he just too mean"
and the young lady gave her wheel
an impatient kick as she sped around
the corner without ringing the bell.

say no, and mean it, that an assur-
ance of assent is not worth much as
a political asset. The campaign
might be made on a platform of mar
ried men only for the legislature, and
then again the ladies may find their
trust misplaced as some of the mar
ried men being too familiar with fem
mime traits may think too long over
the proposition and not favor pre-
senting their wives with the grand
prerogative of voting just like man.
On the whole, a scheme of campaign
looking to the advancement of bach
elors, with a lingering desire to be
loved for self alone, to legislative
honors, might accomplish more for
the cause, as they certainly could be
easily persuaded to labor for love, if
not for the love of labor, and the bill
for equal suffrage should pass unani-
mously All of this under the proviso
that young bachelors are elected
without ENHANCEMENT, and, further,
that the lobby must consist of eligi-
BILE young ladies, those with golden
hair hanging closely to the spine pre-
ferred.

STRENUOUS LIFE IN TEXAS

The bold, bad cowboy of yellow
journalism, the fierce train robber of
me northwest and the long and short
man of many Butte holdups, is out
classed, outrivaled and paralyzed
eternally, as is the record of crime
in any one day in this zone by the
tough element of Ell Paso, Texas.
There was certainly something dom
among the lower class population
along this section of the border last
Thursday.
Lon Brown killed a Mexican sheep
herder with rifle. Jose Perez killed
Maria Guadalupe at a ball. A de-
mented soldier terrorized a boarding
house with a rapid fire gun, but was
captured by strategy before he killed
anyone. fedora Gamboa fatally
stabbed Juan Madrid at a dance.
Tom Hogan was shot by an unknown
man in a saloon. Jim Grow was ar

John Graham in the head with an
axe and placing his body on a rail,

IN DIFFERENCE TO MRS. Gait

strenuous campaign for woman
suffrage is to be carried on in the
Montana legislature this coming ses-
sion, which accounts for the pres
ence of Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait at
Helena just now, and she has en-
listed number of Capital City ladies
in the cause. In the west woman
suffrage seems to have an easier vic
tory than in the effete east, Colorado,
Wyoming, Utah and Idaho having
successfully yielded to the demands
of the feminine politicians, but Mon
tana has yet refused to come into
the enemy's camp. AS a premium
on wedlock, giving the married man
two votes for one of his less fortu-
nate or unfortunate brethren as the
case may be, an amendment to the
state constitution giving women in
Montana the same rights to the bal
NV hhOh nave may ulSSI WIFI more
favor than it has previously. At two
or three sessions of the legislature a
suffrage lobby of the golden haired
slstern have endeavored to have a
bill passed submitting this constitu-
tional amendment to the voters, but
the bill has always failed of passage
Individually, the sweet voiced sirens
of the lobby have met with great sue
cess with the grave and reverend
senators and the less punctilious
members of the house, but their cas-
lily obtained promises have for some
cause failed to make good, and the
required two-thirds majority is still
long way off. There are so many
men, and women, too, that cannot

Porto Rico as an Object Lesson.

The record of the revival of indus
tries and prosperity in Porto Rico
since the Inauguration of free trade
between the island and the states is
both marvellous and instructive. We
are now buying from Porto Ricans
three times more of their products
than the average in the five years
preceding the Spanish war and sell
ing them five times more than the
annual average of their purchases
from us during the same period. Our
exports to them will amount for the
fiscal year to about $10,000,000 and
our imports to about $7OOO,O0O
The Porto Ricans are buying from
us every variety of merchandise
needed to fully rehabilitate their
country and improve their domestic
conditions on the line Of American
models and customs. Their staple
industries have been revived and are
promising a most extraordinary agri-
cultural and mechanical development
From that dreary and impoverished
period which succeeded the hurri-
cane of August, 1899, and the imposi-
ton of the Foraker tariff taxes the
beautiful island has leaped into leaf
and flower and fruit as by the magic
of an East Indian illusionist.
The people of Porto Rico are a sin
gularly docile and industrious popu-
lation. They are susceptible of quick
development along ambitious lines.
They never succumbed to the cal
loused galley slave feelings of the
Cubans and they have always had a
higher sense of the Importance of
civilization and culture than the colo
nists around them in the islands dom
mated by the English, the French
and the Danes, or independently con-
trolled by the San Domingans and
the Haytiens.
When the Americans occupied the
| islands the Porto Ricans were fran
tic with joy and golden expectations.
Although their enthusiasm was sub
| jected to severe trials in the reorgan-
ization period to which we have al
| luded, now it is rampant again, as
| WI N 10 plCHJys Wages luClS dSGl,
prices of their products doubled and
quadrupled and they begin to see and
feel the splendors of American free
DOM
There is no more beautiful patch
of ground on the globe than the COM
pact 1000 square miles of Porto Rico.
From the height of Ell Yunke one
looks down upon Eden. And now
that Americanism is making it pulse
and produce and prosper like an Or
chard of apples of gold. Porto Rico
is becoming the envy of her neigh
bors. The people of the islands
about, as Jamaica and the Lesser An
TILES are getting an object lesson in
Porto Rico's prosperity that bids fair
to bring them, sooner or later, to beg
for release from continental owner
ship and Incorporation with the great
almoner republic of North America.
