A FLOOD OF LIES.

Some space writer has been revamp- Angeles Herald and adapting the heart rending and calamitous situations to the Colorado valley near Yuma. One statement is that Fifty thousand acres of bottom land below Yuma is flooded to depth of from five to twenty-five feet, and a government levee, which forms the only protection between the city of Yuma and the raging waters of the Color ado is crumbling like charred wood before the onslaughts of the food" The writer of that is not gen. jus. A genius would have disdained using the word ''aOod" in rounding out so lurid a simile. He should have said the levee was melting away like slice of ripe watermelon between the capac- ious jaws of a Los Angeles coon. Then his effusion would have brought tears. He has also erred slightly in locating the levee. The only government levee within two thousand miles of Yuma is above and not below the city, and it is not crumbling. No particular harm would have resulted at any stage if it had crumbled. The only unusual fea- ture, or any happening which amounted to real and menacing damage was the washing out of the headgate of the Farmers canal: on this account some 200 acres of crops were destroyed. This break, after several days hard work. was closed today, which removes the only real source of threatened danger at any time. If this canal heading had been properly protected and looked after there would have beenno flooding except that which occurs annually on the "overfiOw lands'' in the lower part of the valley.
 In the Herald's report, J. B. Lippin- cott, consulting engineer of the U.S.Geo. logical Survey, is extensively quoted ir support of the ridiculous flood story and he takes occasion to deny the state ments attributed to him, as witness the following telegram:

There is more catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last two years was supposed to be incurable. For great many years doctors pro- nounced it local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly fail ing to cure with local treatment pro- nounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitu- tiOnal treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,, Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken inter- nally in doses from ten drops to tea spoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials.

A case came to light that for persist ent and unmerciful torture has perhaps never been equaled. Joe Golobick of Colusa, Calif., writes; "FOr 15 years I endured insufferable pain from rheum- atism and nothing relieved me though I tried everything known. l came across Electric Bitters and it's the greatest medicine on earth for that trouble.

The discharge of Chief Culpepper
and the appointment of Alex. Peter
son to succeed him was again the
chief topic of conversation in Pine
Bluff Saturday, aud SO far as the
Graphic heard the matter discussed
the mayors action was condemned.
He is not condemned for suspending
Chief Culpepper, but for appointing
in his place a man against whom
the mayor himself makes charges
which should have prevented his ap-
pointment.
The police committee of the coun-
Gil attempted to hold a meeting in
the city attorneys office Saturday
afternoon, and would have succeeded
but Mayor White "butted in as
Alderman Nichols put it, and ex-
planned that they had no authority
to hold meeting. The gentlemen
composing the committee are Alder
men Meyer, Nichols and We'll. Mr..
Nichols said: eff meeting is to be
held, we will have to go somewhere
else to hold it." and the committee
departed to meet elsewhere, but what
they did in the matter is unknown.
There /eems to be a difference OF
opinion among the lawyers as to the
meaning of the following paragraph
lice or chief of the fire department.:
"The mayor shall have the right to
suspend for ineficiency, misconduct,
or neglect of duty, the chief of the
police department and chief of the
fire department until the next regular
or adjourned or special meeting OF
the city council; at which meeting he
shall lay the matter before the city
council; and unless his action be ap-
proved and the chief be removed from
office at such meeting within five
days thereafter, by vote of ma
jority Of the council elect, the sus-
pension shall cease; provided, no e.
ficer shall be twice suspended for
the same cause"
The point at issue is the Give
days" feature City Attorney Cole
man holds that "the five days there
after" is meant to convey the fact
that regular, adjourned or
special meeting of the coun.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1903-05-31
STILL CHIEF TOPIC

ell shall be held within five
days after the suspension of the chief
of police, and that it is the mayors
duty to see to it that a meeting be
held, even if it be necessary to call
a SPECIAL meeting in order for hil@o
to lay the matter before the councl..
Other attorneys hold that the five
days limit is put on the action of
the council after the meeting has been
held, and that the councils power
to act after five days is void. The
law is an ambiguous one. There is
no breaking the sentence until after
the words ''fve days have been
passed, making the words Give days"
modify the word meeting if tn
word held" be inserted after the
word injecting" and before the word
"within,' as Mr.. Coleman has ex-
planned and holds to be the true
meaning of the law.
Mayor White has filed the court
stenographe1 records Of the Culpe
per trial and his suspension order
with the city clerk for the benefit of
the councils perusal Monday night.
In his order of suspension Mayor
White claims that he has a witness
whereby ne can prove that Culpepper
on one occasion slapped and knocked
down female, whose name is un-
known That is a thin story, and
should not have much weight with
the council.
Mr. W. B. Sorrells was heard to
say that the reason the civil action
was brought against Culppper was
to oust Culpepper from job, stating
that "Cull'' had made him (Sorrells)
walk two blocks once to make a
bond for "nigger."
City Attorney Coleman holds that
should the council meet and take
no action on the report that Culpep.
per would become the lawful
chief again by virtue of the last two
lines of the section quoted in the
foregoing. 1t is evident from that
section that after the mayor has
made his first appointment his pow
er tc again appoint chief of 10
lice must be confirmed by the &C
eli. The whole story will be told in
real interesting manner at the
council meeting Monday evening.
