ARREST WILD BEAST EXHIBIT

The number and variety of per feet wild beasts, birds and amphi- bia massed in the consolodated menageries of the Great Adam Forepaugh and Sells Brothers United Shows, which appear here on Friday, Oct goth, Is enormous and unprecedented And there are many stupendous, curious and beautiful creatures never before placed on exhibition and nowhere else to be seen. Included among these are the only school of trained seals and sea lions, the giant male hippopotamus, an Ethiopian gnu or horned horse, a Niger antelope. an African eland, full grown. snow-white polar bear, pair of saddle back tapirs, and monster double horned Sumatra rhinoceros. Plenty of time Is given to inspect them, both before and after the grand arenie performances. Don [ slight them in undue anxiety to SC sure seat. There is plenty of room under the big hippodrome tent for all corners.

Now. while this Is commendahle h the people of Morrilton 1t should moi, certainly, be adver- tised to the world as an excep- tional occurrence in Ark ansas. It has always been the custom with the people of this section of the State to give speakers, both can. didates and otherwise, a respect ful audience, and whenever such has not been the case 1t has been a most rare exception aud by no means the rule Once in awhile wild and woody ruffian will break the bounds of decornm and make a fool of himself on al- most any occasion, but the masses are in no wise to blame for such rude conduct When the candidates for Governor see fit to visit our part of the coun

sued by the federal court. At a
meeting of the Business Mems associ-
alton it was decided to await the re-

also held a meeting and it was given
out that they could do nothing until
they could move supplies of provi-

The saloons are all closed and the
entire police force is on duty in the

Judge Munger has modified the in
junction issued against the Team

which restrained the union from con-
tinuing their organization and con-
ducting their business, was so sweep

even declaring the strike off. Judge
Munger eliminated all these provi-

remains unchanged.

REDEEMABLE IN 1858.
TransvaaI Loan Will Draw 8 Per Cent
and Be Issued at Par.

and Be Issued at Par.
London, May S-The issue of the
prospectus of the Transvaal loan was
awaited with the greatest interest in
financial circles here and there was a
scene of considerable excitement at
the Bank of England, where thousands
of people congregated hours before 1t
was finally given out that the pros
pectus announced the issue of $780,
100000 of the SITS, 100000 authorized
and that the price would be at par.
with interest at per cent. The loan
is redeemable in 1858. A sinking
fund of l per cent will be applied to
the purchase of stock when below par.
The government of the Transvaal re
serves the right to pay for the stock
any time after May 1, 1928, subject to
six months notice. The installments
on stock are payable as follows:
Three per cent payable on appli-
cation, per cent May % and the bal
ance to be distributed from June to
December The instaffments may be
paid in full May % under discount
of per cent. The list closes on or
before May IL.
Through various London houses ap-
p1ications in behalf of American eli
ents were made for allotments of the
Transvaal loan. These, however, were
not very large and as they must take
their chances with the other appllca,
tions American money will not figure
to any great extent in the present
issue.

FIGHT FOR AN ESTATE.
Another Chapter in Sensational Sack
viiIe-West Case.

Another Chapter in Sensational Sack
viIe-West Case.
London, May 8.-Another chapter in
the sensational claim of Henry Sack
ville-West to be the legitimate heir of
Lord Sackville, former British minis
ter at Washington, was heard during
the day in the chancery court. The
claimant, whose full name is Ernest
Henri Jean Baptiste Sackville-West,
applied for the appointment of a COM
mission to examine witnesses in
France and Spain in support of his
claim. Counsel for the plaintiff ex-
planned that the action was for the
purpose of perpetuating testimony in
support of his claims to the title and
estate, as while Lord Sackville was
alive the plaintiff could not bring ac-
tion to establish his rights.
Henry Sackville-West, counsel con-
tinued, claims to be the eldest son of
Lord Sackville by his marriage with
Josephine Duran de Ortaga. The de-
PENDANTS denied the marriage, alleg-
ing that Josephine de Ortaga had
previously been married to Antonio
de la OLIVIA, who was then and still is
alive and is not divorced from her.
The court granted the application.

No official confirmation of these
statements was obtainable, but in

a MEASURE OF PEACE.
Timothy HeaIy Supports the Irish
Land Bill.


London, May 8.-The adjourned de
bate on the Irish land bill in the
house Of commons was resumed dur
ing the day. Several unfmportant
speakers were followed by Timothy
M Healy (NationalisD, who comment
ed on the curious fact that the only
two absolutely ignorant speeches
against the bill came from the Liberal
side of the house"
Referring to the question whether
the bill would make for home rule,
Mr.. Healy pointed out that the meas
ure was supported by the Ulster mem
bers, who, he said, ought to know its
effect better than English amateur
politicians, however respectable"
MI Healy said he did not grudge
the terms which the landlords were
getting. Ie would not incite the ten
ants to accept them and ridiculed the
idea of a campaign of reputation. 1t
was impossible with the present sys-
TEN of government. If he wanted to
convict the speaker of the house OF
murder he would have no difficulty
in so doing with the Irish government
machinery in his hands. Mr.. Healy
said he regarded the bill as being a
measure of peace. which he hoped
would infuse a new spirit into the
hearts of Ireland and England.
T. P. O'Connor, while criticising its
details, defended the bill. He said it
was no leap in the dark. Peasant pro-
prietorship in Ireland had been most
successful. The evicted tenants must
be restored to their holdings. The
public, he added, must now choose
between great measure Of land pur-
chase and chaos and anarchy.'

Venezuela

HaVerstraw, N. Y, May 8.-Harry
B. Bulls of this place has made a
formal claim for $4,000 against the
government of Venezuela for false
Imprisonment and detention at Mara
caibo. He laid the matter before the
department of state in Washington
and assumed that his case would be
presented with the others that have
been placed in the hands of the special
agent appointed to represent the Unit
ed States in effecting a settlement of
American claims, but was surprised to
learn that there was question about
the presentation of his claim with the
others, owing to technical objection,
which will be. remedied
Mr.. Bulls was in charge of the cleo
trio light station at Maracaibo at the
time that. he got into the trouble, in
May, 1900. There was an active rev
olution on foot and persons associated
with the 4 electric light company had
stored ammunition and explosives in
the station He says he wished to
turn oVerFthe stuff to the government,
but he was afraid to have it known
that he had given the information.
He accordingly suggested to the presi-
dent of the state that the ammunition
should be seized, and that, as blind,
he should be arrested and then
promptly released. His plans were
carried out with the exception Of his
release.
