The Easy Pill

DeWitts Little Early Risers do not
grippe nor weaken the system. They
cure billiousness, jaundice, constipation
and inactive livers, by arousing the &C.
cretions, moving the bowls gently, yet
and giving such tone and
strength to the glands of the stomach,
liver and bowls that the cause of the
trouble is removed entirely. These
famous little pills exert decided tonic
effect upon the organs involved, and il
their use is continued for few days
there will be no return of the trouble

A. an Evidence of Good Faith

The Klondiko Nugget preludcs an in- teryiew with couple of super-impor- tant gentleman in a way which, though perhaps not very respectful, is pleas ingly descriptive of very silly type of humanity. The following gem Is gleaned from the interview;
 "The two first named are civil engi- neers in the employ of the United States government and like many gen tlemen in that profession prefer that their movements should be permeated with a great air of secrecy, that a cer- tain mysterious something should con stantly hover about their presence. lt might be added that they abhor news paper men and interviewers which Is a sufficient reason why they should be in- terviewed upon the slightest and every proyocation. Not that the information of which they may be possessed may be of such startling, burning character that the public is in the last agonizing throes 70 hear Of it, but-well, just as evidence of good faith on the part of the reporter"

A HEROIC TRIO.

 Neglected American Epic.
 The late Frank Norris in an article in Worlds Work says that the Ameri- can epic. which on the shelves of pos terlty should have stood shoulder to shoulder with the "Hemskringla" and the Tales Of the Nibelungen" and tho Song Of Roland" will never be writ ten because the Hector of an ignored "niad" has been forgotten. "one of the requirements of an epic-a true epic-is that it's action must deyolve upon some great national event. There was no lack of such in those fierce years after forty.nine. Just that long and terrible Journey from the Mississippi to the ocean is an epic in itself. Yet no seri- Ous attempt has ever been made by an American author to render into prose CT yerse this event in our history as national in scope, in origin and in results aa he Revolution itself. The prairie schooner ls SIS large a figure m the legends as the black ship that bore Ulysses homeward from Troy. The sea meant as much to the Argonauts Of the ffties as it did Co the ten thousand.
 And the Alamo. There Is q trumpet call in the word, and only the look of it on the printed page Is a flash of fire, but the very histories slight the deed, and to many an American born under the same dag that the Mexican rifles shot Co ribbons on that splendid day the word Is meaningless. Yet Ther- mOpylg was less glorious, and in com parlsOn with that siege the investment of Troy WAS mere wautOn riot At the very least the Texans In that battered adobe church fought for the honor Of their fiaR and the greater glory Of their country. not for loot or the possession Of the lperson of an adulteress.

NeeSless Alarm .

Dangerous things lock safe. and safe things look dangerouA The trouble Is all iu the bsholder's eye, as the common expression is. An ENSllshmnn was on voyage ro Spain.
 Ships were flying by of varying shape, rig and color. One, the English man noticed. was bearing slowly down toward hlhl. with her cargo piled on deck half way up the masts. What could she be? How could she hope laden in th,s way, to live ont the faint est suspicion of gals!
 The English trayWer was consider ably exercised about her. Something surely ought to be done to make such rascally "deCk loading" Illegal and im' pOaHble. He scanned the vessel with hlS glass. The breeze was light but she rode buoyantly. Al last sailor cleared up the mystery.

The statehood proposition at presen, is too silly for serious consideration.

EvADIHo THE QUESTION.

The Juneau Record-Niner in reply Ing to a charge of inconsistency made by Gov. svinetord, has the following Co say;
 ''Nov che distinguished honor tbeing the leader of those who are for the fullest possible measure Of popular government for the people" does not belong Co the sage Of Ketehikan, but Co his e1eellency. Gov. John G. Brady Brady stands for statehood, he says he ,ays he is not for territorial govern ment because it does not give us "the hllles, possible measure Of popular gov erument"
 Then the sage ot Ketchikan is a weak sister" for he seems Co be wiil- ing Co accept, for the present, terri torial form Of government. The sage accuses us Of being densely ignorant if all do no, know that "the amended code does not in the least add to the measure of self-gOvernment previously conceded so Che people of Alaska
 Under this code the people Of incor- porAted towns declare what acts shall constitute misdemeanor and provides Tor judicial and executive officers 60 en- orce them. Under the code before amended they had nothing Of the kind If Che law now enforceable in KeJchi- kan werc extended over an the dis .riet oi Alaska we would vi- tually have territorial govern ment. Under che amended code we re- tain all our local taxes and levy such others as we wish and now have auth oyity Co collect .t.
 The amended code Is even better than territorial government in more vays than one Tor it leaves each locali- d to govern itself as it chooses.
 Cnder territorial government Tread uell. Douglas and Juneau would make she laws for Ke,chikan instead Of at- tending Co their own business and leav- ing Ketehikan 60 govern herself by laws made by her own people. The new law Is extremely democratic and smaeks so strongly Of states rights that even ,he Sage ot Revillsgigedo ought Co be satisfied. Ii there Is any locality ID Alaska that wishes to retain all i's taxes and make i,s own laws, it can DOW of its own accord incorporate and be a government Of it's people. by i's people and for les people"

DAMAGE SUIT
TO BE BROUGHT BY REV BAT.
TIE AGAINST LITTLE ROCK
STREET RAILWAY.
Was Elected From Car Because He
Declined to Ride With
White Folks.

To be treated as a lawbreaker while
dolng his utmost to obey the law was
re rather unusual eXpel lence yester-
lay, shortly after the noon hour, of
ReV. }. I. Battle. pastor Gf the Bar
1aque street Baptist church of Pine
Bluff says the Little Rock Gazette.
The minister is financial agent for
the Colored Baptist college in this
city and yesterday at / clock he
boarded a Fifteenth street car to sc
to the college. He sat down in one
of the rear seats of the car. A few
moments later the conductor came to
him to collect his fare, but before do
ing SO said, 'YCu must move forward
these seats are for negroes
well, responded the minister, 81
have never broken a law in my life,
but | will ride here
No you won't the conductor an
swered. You will move up where the
white people are or I'll put you off
the car"
You are the conductor of this car
You know your business. You attend
to your business and | will attend to
mine
After few words more the conduc-
tDy 1oi 1e, No y
elected him from the car
The conductor was certain he had
elected a stubborn white man who
desired to show his contempt for the
law recently enacted by the legisla-
ture, which provides that white peo.
pie on entering street cars in cities
Of the first class in Arkansas shall be
seated from the front toward the rear
and negroes from the rear toward the
front.
After being elected from the Fit
teenth street car Rev. Battle boarded
Ninth street car and sat in one of
the seats provided for negroes. The
conductor, on seeing him, said 'Do
you know that we have separate race
law here and that negroes only ride
IN the back seats of the street cars?"
The negro preacher said he was
aware OF the fact.
do you see that sign?" the con-
ductor asked, pointing to placard
of the kind fixed in every Little Rock
street car which explains where pas
sengers must sit and why.
Yes" was the answer.
Are you violating that law"
No
AL right, then. l am satisfied"
AMI the conductor said no more.
The result of the ejectment of the
negro minister will in all probability
be lawsuit against the street car
company. as he has already taken the
natter u3 with his lawyers, who are
part oWHers of the Pine Bluff street
ca" systen. which the separation law
also affects.
1t is hardly probable that any negro
preacher in Arkansas is better known
than J. G. Battle He ministers to
large congregation of negroes in the
west end Of Pine Bluff, which is
known as Batt,evil'e, and feature a
his work is that he has induced near
ly ali of the members of his church to
own their homes. For thirty years he
has been a resident of Pine Bluff, and
for twenty-four years he has been the
pastor of a church there In addition
TO being pastor Of the Barraque street

rerary CT the State Colored Baptist
