the follow ing relative to the Miles
affair
The Presidents failure under the

Department for the humiliation of
General Mills by the premature quail.

not easily be dispelled. The incident

In 1896 in Boston one Mr.. Allen,
who had charge of q fund for the
benefit Of superannuated Methodist
ministers, widows and orphans was q
strong opponent Of Bryan, because,
said he with virtuous indignation,
Bryan's success will cut the dollars In
two, and people that I am caring for
will be swindled. This virtuous
gentleman skipped out last week,
after having stolen the funds entrust-
ed to his care, and the old ministers,
the widows and orphans, won't get
even a quarter Of dollar, not to say
half - DOLLAR If ALLEN really be-.
lieved that democratic success would
have dwindled down the dollar, his
Indignation was probably based on
the belief that there would be only
half as much for him to steal.

The amocnt of money in circulation
was increased during the month of
July nearly S., 900, 900 and $121, 412, :
361 during the year that ended with
July. That rate of increase is about
double what it would have been with
the unlimited coinage of silver at the
ratio of 16 to in 1896, based upon
the production Of the mines at that
time. The republican party claimed
in that campaign that the volume Of
money must be curtsiled by the de.
monetization of silver or ruin would
be the result. Then they went to
work and inflated the currency as it
had never been inflated before-Ex.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox sees the other
side Of the lynching question and
sets forth her impression In the fol-
lowing poem which appears in the
National PROCESS for August:
To the coal black maid
The white man said:
"You must yield your honor to me.
For I am king
Of everything.
Az! king of the land and sea -
Not q beast or bird mates but with
it's kind
Yet a man will follow the lust Of his
mind.
The pitilsss skies
Heard the black girls cries
And men turned an ear of stone
For the good God gave
The king his slave
And the world should let him alone
And why should it talk of the white
mans sin
When the black girls child has q
tawny skim
The black man said
To the snow white maid:
"You must yield to my brutal will.
I am morally blind
And I hate your kind,
And I know how to throttle and
kill.
have no brain, but my sinews are
strong
With the grudge Of a hundred years
of wrong
The white girls cry
Rose wide and high,
It hurt the ear of the world:
Then blind and stark
Out into the dark
A laundering soul was hurled.
For women's honor all men will fight
And avenge her wrongs-if her Skin
DO white.

MINNESOTA'S WILD MAN.

Fergus Falls Journal: A correspon
dent has recently furnished the
Associated Press with the FOLLOWING
article, relative to one of the in.
mates Of the hospital here, and the
the article is substantially correct
The state of Minnesota is the poesesso1
of a real wild man. Hs is at present
confined at the Fergus Falls hospital
for insane. He was named Richard Roe
flor the reason that no one knew what
his name was) after he had been
captured Sept. 81, 1901, in the forest
near Ulen, MINI. He fought 6ercely
when captured. He was entirely
naked and it has been impossible to
keep any clothes on him since. Fol-
this reason it has been necessary to
confine him in a room by himself.
He lies naked upon bed night and
day, keeping up q constant threshing
motion. If anyone comes near, he
makes loud cultural sound, like an
angry wild beast. If he Is approached
he endevors to spit upon his disturb
e1s. So long a period has his body
Teen Invested Of clothing that it
seems to have become hardened to the
most sewers tests. He insists upon
having his window open both winter
and summer and when it is closed he
will break the glass. Yet though the
temperature in his room is often
freezing he never seems to suffer, and
it is noticed that: he never takes q
cold. For few moments in October
1901 Roe became somewhat rational.
He then gave his name as Sam Rigen,
and said he owned ninety-acre farm
three miles north of Minneapolis
which he had rented to Hans Thomp
son, of Cedar avenue, South Mime
apolis, and that he, Roe, had worked
as q sawyer for Boland. He then
said the physicians were trying to
poison him, that the other patients
were devils, and speedily wandered
into his former condition which makes
him no better than q Wild beast. At
times Roe has refused to eat, and it
has been necessary to feed him
q officially. OF late he has been eat
ing better and has gained considerably
in weight.

TO SAVE OTHER CITIES,

The state board of health has made
objection to the central sewer pro-
posed at Brainerd. on the ground
that the water in the river will be
contaminated with the flow of the
sewerage to such an extent that it
will be dangerous to St. Cloud, L little
Falls and other cities. The state
board suggests a septic tank system
which will be safe.

COMPANY PASSED
 CREDITABLE INSPECTION

Capt. Lorrane T. Richardson, of the Twenty second Infantry, accompanied by H. G. McBurney, who is assisting him in the work of inspection north of the Arkansas river, reviewed the work of Company c of the Arkansas state guard here Friday evening in the court house yard.
 A large crowd was present to wit ness the drill, and Capt. Richardson was highly pleased and generous in his compliment of the local company, whose manuel of arms and inspection were highly satisfactory, though their field rnaneuvering was not up to the usual standard, but the boys have had little practice in this line.
 Capt. Richardson thought Company c had the best chance thus far for the silk regiment flag, which is to be awarded the best company. An additional point in favor of our boys is their high percentage of attendance, 40 out of the A being accredited pres- ent at the inspection.
 An elegant lunch was rendered the company in honor of the visiting army officer at Bracy's Cafe, being served in courses, as follows: Port wine; creamed chicken, shrimp and salmon salads, french fries; wine; cold roast beef, pickled tongue, wafered ham; ice cream and cake. Budweiser and cigars.

ADVANTAGE OF
 KNOXVILLE SCHOOL.

The teachers of Arkansas who are thinking of attending a summer school this summer can find no place more desirable than. + ' yNn4 sr School of the South to MS ss&eld at Knoxville. Those in chaFs5 have provided for faculty of the most distinguished edu- cators of the country, 93 in number. The location of the school is desirable as Knoxville is one of the healthiest and most picturesquely situated cities in the South. 1000 from the South attended this school last summer, and fully as large an attendance is ex- pected this year. On account of the cheap railroad rates, am sure Ar
 kansas will be well represented in this school this summer. b tJ1
