CASE OF TOO MUCH BOOZE.
Jeese Cross Killed at Prescott in Christmas Quarrel w. A. Moncrief Also Badly
 Wounded.

Prescott, Dec. 25. This even- ing at 6:30 in a difficulty between W. A. Moncrief and Jesse Cross the former was shot in the stom- ach and seriously wounded and the latter was shot in the head and killed.
 The trouble originated by Cross, who was apparently un- der the influence of whisky, at tempting to interfere with son e of the hands at Moncrief's livery stable.
 Cross was ordered away by Moncrief. He refused to go and was advancing when Moncrief caught him. In the scuffie that followed both men fell to the floor, when Cross drew a gun and shot Moncrief. Moncrief  then took the gun and killed Cross.
 Both men have been citizens of Prescott for twenty years, Mon crief being related by marriage and natural ties to the leading families of this city, and is about 35 years old.
 Cross was a young man about 30 years old and worked at the furniture factory. He had no relatives here and was unmar- rled.
 A man by the name of Hines who attempted to separate the men was shot in the hand. The affair created considerable ex- citement.

A man who seeks a state office cannot make a de- cent canvass on less than $1, 1,000, and it is well known that Arkan- sas does not pay it's state officers princely salaries.

COSTS MONEY TO
 GET AN OFFICE.

Tt costs money to get an office in Arkansas, even if one has no opposition" said sea- soned campaigner, talking with a coterie of friends in the Capital hotel lobby, says the Little Rock Gazette. T refer only to what may properly be termed legiti- mate expenses. For instance the item of getting state candl- dates name on the ticket in each of the seventy-fve counties in the state is no small one. It is true that some of the county cen tral committees assess state can- didates only $1 each for that pur- pose, but there are some coun- ties that exact $2 and a few that have charged as high as $5. The state candidate is really in good luck if his total expenses on thls line are less than $200.
 That is one of the numerous items of legitimate expense. It costs several hundred dollars to cover the state with letters and circulars and several hundred dollars more to travel and see the people before the primaries. No wonder the candidate is unable

CAME TO GRIEF.
Young Man Attempted to Work People on Prize Winning Contest and Used Uncle
 Sam's Mails.

The young man, A. V. Keech, who is alleged to have attempted to work a rather brazen fraud through the mails from his office in Memphis, came to grief rather early in the game, says the Little Rock Democrat. His scheme did not possess the in- genious features that usually characterize postal frauds. He appears to have mailed thous- ands of circulars to persons in different states informing them J,aat they had won a valuable priz1 a horse and buggy, in some kind O. 2 contest which the Plan- ters Pubh hing Company, a con- cern that did ot exist, had con- ducted. The WI ner in every in- stance was requested to send the amount necessary to pay the freight on the alleged prize. He did not calculate on the result that followed. In many in stances the supposed winners went to Memphis in person to secure the prize and others sent to merchants requesting them to pay the necessary charges. The exposure of the scheme must have followed in a day or so even if the similarity of the circulars had not been discovered by the postal authorities. Keech claims that he was only the stenographer for a man named Banks, who was working the scheme, but the theory of the government IS that he is the whole thing.

 LOSE CITIZENSHIP.

Concerning a report that EX- Senator James K. Jones left Arkansas and abandoned his citizenship in the state, the Ouachita Herald says: As for his desertion of our state, that is the merest rot, the product of the heated imagination (we can not say brain) of some penny-a- liner who cares more for 'sensa- tions' than for facts. Senator Jones is in the national capital, where he is in immediate touch with all the events and leaders that concern and control his party's future. When his duty in that capacity is ended he will return to his old home in the state which has so greatly hon. ored him and which he, too, has so greatly honored. "

AT CALVARY BAPTIST.

The Cost of Progress the Subject of An ! Interesting and Instructive Discourse i by the Rev. George H. Ferris.
 At Calvary Baptist church, Sunday forenoon, the Rev. George H. Ferris spoke on the subject, '"The Cost of Progress"
 For his text he took the thirtieth verse of the fifth chapter of St. Mark: Jesus immediately knowing in Him self that virtue had gone out of Him, turned Him about in the press and said: Who touched My clothes?' ; In substance Rev. MT. Ferris remarks i were as follows: '"The church of to- day must extend it's aid and help with all it's strength. To do this it must put itself in the place of the men who are being helped. If an artist paints a tree he must throw himself utterly into the creation, the assimilative transference of impression. He becomes a dryad for the time; he strives to cultivate an af- finity as it were with the tree. Let <, one sketch the object with pen and ! pencil and his most perfect production will be eclipsed by the work of a pho tographer.
 ''The principle of vicarious suffering cannot be too strongly postulated. The church must throw itself forward, must live in the souls of those it strives to save. It must show to the grasping sinners that it accepts this position. After Hawthorne had written The Scarlet Letter. he received great num- bers of letters from individuals who felt the burden of secret sins on their souls and who felt that they could entrust their troubles, pour out their burdens, because the man to whom they turned understood. He had shown them in his 1 book that he could place himself in their position. that he would compre- bend.
 "One must feel that virtue has passed from himsele to the affected one, even as Christ did in the pressing crowd.
 This is a great world of equitable distribution. For every sin there shall be reaping. Tremendous are the laws that govern it. We cannot understand the mystery of it all. God has ordain- ed that penalties shall follow transgres- sion.
 There are just as many publicans and sinners to-day as there were in an- cient days. The heartless aristocracy of purity that lifts it's garments from the soiled and needy are no less guilty than the ones they scorn. Let your virtues go out of you. Feel-really feel the needs of those you strive to help then help them, for your determination is the most powerful factor in the world to-day"

FAT MEN EASY TO R0R.

Fat men of easy temperament are the
 favorite prey of the professional pick
 pockets according to no less an author ity than Molly Matches" who in his
 day served time in many prisons in the
 process of learning to let thin nervous
 indivuals alone stone when plying his
 iawless trade.
 Hike all good dips" this particular
 pickpocket was a respectable-looking
 fellow, who would pass unnoticed in a crowd. He had lots of experience and knew his business thoroughly. His reasons, as given by himself, were these:
 Experience has taught me that ner-
 vousness and fidgetiveness are usual characteristics of thin people when in
 a crowd. Therefore, they are more apt
 to turn around suddenly, and take quicker notice of any push or jostling they may receive. I have invariably found that such people are constantly on the alert, so that they are not so easily at as more corpulent and con- sequently easier going people. It is a deuced sight more difficult to take any, thing from them without detection than it is from the individuals of more extended cororosity who fall into pas- sive attitudes and reveries that render them quite unconscious of the sly,
 stealthy hand of the piclpocket.'' This theory is known to all expert police, and they govern themselves in accordance with the rule to always
 watch the fat ones when looking for a "-Chicago Tribune

ARMoURs MAY LOSE HEAVILY,
Decision Involving sf, ,aoo, ,ooo Worth of LamdtG

Lauits
 Kansas City, March IA jury in the case of Annie B. Wood and other heirs of Silas Armstrong, an Indian, to re- cover Missouri River bottom lands in Kansas City. Kas.. valued at $1,o00,0Go and occupied by Armour and Fowler, the packers, and others, has returned yer dict in favor of the plaintiffs. The at torneys for the defendants have filed notices of appeal. If the decision of the lower court shalf be sustained, the Armour Packing company will proba- biy be the heaviest loser. The portion of t!se tract claimed by Armour is valued at nearly S100.00O. Other large losers will be the Fowler Packing com pany, the Hannibal and St. Joseph Railroad company, the Rock Island Railroad company and the Metropolitan Water company. Smaller interests are claimed by numerous other companies and corporations. In all there were forty plaintiffs and ten defendants.
 The tract of land contains nearly eighty-five acres and originally be- longed to Silas Armstrong. a Wyan- dotte Indian, and was an island from 1867 to 1891.
 The contention in the suit hinged on a change in the channel of the Mis- souri river in 1867, just before Arm strong had transferred his property.
 The property transferred extended to the bank of the river but that year the channel of the river had changed several hundred feet. The portion thus cut off from the tract was not sold. but in the course of time the river changed again, and ran in it's old channel. When the river changed back to it's former channel the portion in litigation and the main body were again connected.
 The defendant companies began to extend their industries on that portion which had been an island. claiming it as an accretion but the heirs of Arm strong claimed the companies had no right to it. The suit was filed in 1900.

forest all the damage done to them by collectors. A number of companies on the Congo ] are also opening plantations for the
 cultivation of rubber. It will be very interesting to see how effective these two expedients for remedying the evil ] may prove.
 One of the most energetic and power ful of the Congo companies in 1899 be- gan to clear land in the virgin forest of
 the District of the Equator, Upper Con- go. for rubber plantation. In March. last year, it had cleared and hood about 400 acres.
 The cleared land was parcelled into
 forty areas, each containing from two to fifteen acres, and bananas the coffee shrub and cacao, and bread fruit were planted on the borders of these patches. for a nursery and 800 we'll prepared beds, separated by narrow paths from one another, were laid out.
 Then the seeds of many rubber plants obtained from nearly all the
 rubber-growing regions of the world
 were planted. Beds were also reserved | for European vegetables, and other use tul plants; but the main object was to test the value in tropical Africa of
 many different species of rubber plants 1 growing in other countries and also 1 indigenous rubber plants to determine | which varieties are best adapted for cultivation.
 At last accounts many black men
 were still extending the cleared area. | The forest growth is quite dense and it is no easy matter to clear one acre of land. But the plantation is to be very
 much larger it is at present. The workmen with their women and children make a village of about 1000 inha bitants. Their hours of labor are
 from a. m. to 6 p. n1., with two hours , of rest in the middle of the day. | Twenty men take care of the nursey, ' twenty others are detailed to guard the plantation from intrusion of, outside | natives. Two hundred men carry on the work of deforestation. Their meth cd is to cut down the trees three feet from the ground and in few weeks it is possible to burn most of the fallen timber. The rest of the black laborers WI 'NisiE iiOT0 ull lIlS pldilLdtlOIi It is too early to make predictions as to the prospect of the experiment. All that can be said is that the seed of a
 considerable variety of rubber plants brought from Mexico. Braizil, Borneo
 and other regions germinated in the
 nursery, and the plants are growing we'll. Some of them attained a height | of three feet in a short time. The nursery cultivation of the Landolphia and other African varieties is also suc- l cessful thus far.
 | Those plants are to be experimented | with in various ways. Many of them will be set out on the plantation: others will be transplanted in the forest. Seed will also be planted on the p1anta-
 tion to see if the results are as favor l able as in the nursery. Congo rubber planters feel very san- l guine that plantation rubber will be- come a great feature of the industries of that country, and that the world in
 the near future will rely far more upon cultivated rubber than upon the pro-
 duct now obtained from the forests.- New York Sun.
