today made a statement claiming the
recent supplanting of Surveyor Gen
eral {. {. GoOdale, of Colorado, by the
appointment of j. J. Vivian, to be due
TO an investigation made by that COM

on account of complaints against
the surveyor general and some of his
assistants for violation of the civil
service law by collecting political as
SeSsments from employees The COM
mission states that the payments were
so regularly demanded that they we're
called the dog tax" and they were ap-
poruoned among the clerks so that
each was to pay one, two and three
days salary per month, as the needs of
the campaign demanded. EMPLOYEES
PAID these assessments irres pectlve Of
their own political beliefs, and under
both Democratic and Republican adj
ministratons.
The clerks were also directed to do
political work, and the female clerks
were told to go from door to door and

Frau Wagner, through a legal repre-

ment to a New York paper:
In answer to your inquiry. Frau
Cosima Wagner desires to say she pro-
tests against the performance of Par
sifaT in New York on the ground that
Richard Wagner, the creator of the
opera, always expressed distinct wish
that this work be performed excIu-
sively at Bayreuth. The firm OF
SchOtte. at Mayence. are acquainted
with that wish of the master and know
that they may not supply material for
such performance. Frau Wagner ex-

collaborate at Bayreuth will refuse to
participate in such a performance,
which is forbidden by the master"

MARRIED AT THE HAZEL.

MT. Charles Meehan, the son of a prominent Cotton Plant family, and Miss Rosa McHenry, belle of New ark who has been attending school at Conway, came down from Newark on the passenger Monday night, ac- companied by MT. and Mrs. A. M. Shelton.
 A telephone message had been sent ahead, however, and Rev. J. w.. Smith was awaiting their arrival at the Hazel. Quite a party of the cu- rious, who had received an inkling of what was about to happen, occupied the parlors, but the young couple who had run away from home and friends to secure a quiet wedding were not so easily to be thwarted in their plans and plighted their troth before few friends in their room, then came down stairs to give the uninvited the laugh.
 The bride and groom returned to Newark Tuesday morning, where we join with friends in wishing them long lives of welded bliss.

SOUGHT TO WRECK
 BATESVILLE PASSENGER.
Williams Place Obstruction on Track Near Earnheart to Derail Pas
 senger Train.

Some one made deliberate attempt to wreck tbe south bound passenger train just below Earnheart Thursday evening at trestle No. g, says the Batesville Bee. The parties had se- cured couple of locust crossties and placed them in the track in manner that would have caused serious &C., cident and perhaps number of peo- pie killed or seriously hurt had not the plans of the wreckers been thwarted.
 Late in the afternoon about thirty minutes before the time for the train to arrive, w. H. Harris, who is build- ing the spur to Leiper & Mills quarry, discovered an unusual obstruction on the track and upon investigation he found that it had been so arranged that the engine would have been thrown from the track had he not made the discovery. Mir. Harris at once went to work and after some time succeeded in removing the tim bers.
 There is ne clue to this attempt to destroy life and property, but it is truly hoped that something may lead up to the identity of the williams.

VARDAMAN ON THE NEGRO.
Nominee for Governor of Mississippi Says God Meant Him for a Bur- den Bearer and He Should
 Not Be Educated.

New Orleans, Sept. 3.-Major J. K. Vardaman, who has just been nomi- mated as the Democratic candidate for governor of Mississippi, which is equivalent to an election, has given out in an interview his opinion on the negro question, which was the chief issue.in the late Mississippi primary.
 My attitude on the negro question has been very much misunderstood by reason of the wholesale manner in which l have been misquoted,n said Major Vardaman. "As matter of fact, my election, instead of being an unfortunate thing for the negro, will be positive blessing. He shall have justice during my administration, so far as it lies within my power to give it to him. The educational needs of the white children are not at all the same as those of the negro children.
 "God Almighty made negroes diff ferently in the beginning, and so they must remain until the end of time. In
 
 the solution of this great problem, as in the solution of all great problems, I believe in working in accordance with the eternal purpose, and when we do this we may reach satisfac- tory settlement. It cannot be reach ed in any other way"
 The negro, Major Vardaman holds, was fashioned by God to be burden bearer. He cites the history of the race since the beginning to bear him out. He thinks that book learning spells good servants and field hands, and he does not hesitate to say so.
 "The race problem" ne says, "is one in which the whole country is vi- tally interested. firmly believe that 1t will be one of the leading issues in the coming national campaign. I shall advocate with all my energy the repeal of the Fourteenth and Fifteen tn amendments of the United States constitution. Sooner or later they will be repealed. The greatest minds of the country, North and South, realize the mistake which was made in their adoption"
 Major Vardaman believes in giving the white children of Mississippi just as much schooling as possible and in giving the negro just as little as possi- ble. It is his firm belief that the ed ucation of the negro makes for crime among the negroes. He holds that the negro of 1861 was far superior to the negro of today.

FILES SUIT FOR OFFICE.
Former Jonesboro Marshal Brings Suit Against Off1cisls, Alleging That Jonesboro is Not Legally a
 City of First Class.

Jonesboro, Sept. Former City Marshal w. H. Autry has filed suit through his attorney, F. G. Taylor, to recover the office of clv. marshal and '$1 1000 emoluments thereof which have accrued since he was supplanted by the present incumbent.
 MT. Autry states in his complaint that at regular election in the city of Jonesboro he was duly elected mar shal and entered on the duties of his office. That on a certain day the governor of Arkansas pretended to call an election of officers of the city of Jonesboro, as pretended city of the first class; that at this election J. B. Nichols was elected mayor, Gordon Frierson was elected police judge and took pretended paths of their pre- tended offices; that J. B. Nichols, pre- tending to act as mayor of the city of Jonesooro,. as pretended city of the first class, signified to the plaintiff that he would cause G. w. Turner,
 
 who is named as one of the defend- ants, to usurp the office of city mar shal, this being an official to be ap- pointed by the mayor. The defend- ant, J. B. Nichols, so appointed c. w. Turner as chief of police and he inn mediately entered upon the duties formerly discharged by Autry. The complainant further states that at the time he was busted from the office of marshal be was receiving a salary of $50 per month and the fees of the office, which salary and fees amounted to $2oo per month. These fees are now paid into the treasury of the city of Jonesboro.

JOHNSoN's CRIME.
Clerk of Trial Court Certifies to Confessed Crime of Johnson How Could Davis Have Been Deceived in Such
 Serious Matter2

The recent pardon of Dr. Lee John son by Gov. Davis has caused more discussion than any of the several hundred pardons the executive has made during his terms of office, says the Clarendon Sun. In addition to Johnson's being the most contempti- ble type of criminal, whose offenses against his own child are most revolt ing, there was shameful piece of pardon brokerage mixed up in it.
 Desiring to know what the court record said in Johnson's case, Messrs. Thomas and Dee of this city wrote the circuit clerk of Sebastian county. where Johnson was convicted, asking him for the facts. The clerks letter follows:
 Ft. Smith, Ark, Aug. 29, 1903.- Messrs. Thomas and Lee, Clarendon, Ark.-Gentlemen: At the September, 1901, term of the Sebastian circuit court, four indictments were returned against Dr. Lee Johnson, on charges of assault with intent to rape, incest, .carnally Knowing female under six teen years of age, and rape. He first pleaded not guilty to each charge and had jury trial Tor the first indict- ment (assault with intent to rape) was found guilty and sentenced to three years in the penitentiary on September Is, 1901. He then with drew his plea of not guilty in the two next indictments Gncest and carnally knowing female) and pleaded guilty and was sentenced September IS, 1901, to three years for incest and one year for carnally knowing a female under sixteen years of age. A nole prosequi was entered in the other case (rape). The name of the female was Virgie Johnson.
 Yours very truly,
 JOHN E. TATUM, Clerk.
 These facts were allAknown to Gov. Davis when he granted the pardon, which was prosecuted by a firm of lawyers at Eureka Springs, one of whom is an appointee of the governor on some of the state boards and a close political friend. The governor did not forward the pardon to Dr. Johnson at the penitentiary, but sent it to this law firm. The lawyers then notified Dr. Johnson that he must deed to them certain property, con- sisting of town lots in Eureka Springs and valued at about $400, before they would turn the pardon over to him. Dr. Johnson executed the deed as re- quired and was then given his free dom.
 This is probably the lowest and dirtiest pieces of work ever done in Arkansas politics.

WOOD DECLARES HIS
 SYMPATHY WITH LABOR.

Hartford, Sept. 7.-Labor Day was
 celebrated in Hartford today with a big pa ede and barbecue. Between 5000 and 10000 people were present.
 } crowd began to get here yester day. Excursion rates were given on the Choetaw and many from Hunting s ton, Mansfield, Bonneville and other places were here. The speakers of the day were Judge Carroll D. Wood, Congressman John s. Little, John H. Holland and W. B. Kissinger. Judge Holland is author of the bill making Labor Day public holiday.
 Congressman Little spoke in the forenoon, his speech being well re- ceived. He made grand speech on the subject of labor.
 Judge Wood began speaking at 1: 80 and spoke two hours. His address was non-political. He did not men, tion the names of his opponents in the gubernatorial race. At the close he made some mention of the race for governor and declared himself in sympathy with the laboring classes, and commended labor organizations as being the only means by which la bor could successfully meet organized capital. He referred to the shot firers' bill passed by the last legisla- ture and assured the miners, who constituted the majosity of the audi ence, ,hat if elected governor he would see that looking to their bet terment and the safety of the miners would not fail on account of the ex- ecutive.
 His speech was well received and highly complimented.
