If there is Democatic voter, M Arkansas, who conscientious K believes that it IS for the in terest of his State to vote for Jeff. Davis and against Judge Wood he should do so; but nc man, who is worthy of the privilege of citizenship, should be influenced by other motives than tic good of his country Arkansas is one of the best agri. cultural and manufacturing States in the American Union and 1t is duty the voters owe themselves and those depending upon them to see that 1t is prop srlv governed.

And now, on this, the 9th day of June. 1903. A. D., comes Jeff erson Davis, Governor of the great State of Arkansas. and solemnly warns the people that thev are in danger of being swindled out of their rights by the Little Rock politicians ma nipulating the county organiza- tions and holding conventions instead of Primary elections. But the right of the dear peo- ple' seems only of secondary consideration with the redouht- able, Jefferson Davis, Governor as aforesaid What appears to give him most concern and lies closer to his throbbing heart. is the thought that he might be defeated. This, indeed, would be calamity to Mir. Davis. but we hardly think to anyone else.
 Of course there is not a parti- cle of foundation for his scare crow circular letter, but he is simply working his old, thread hare racket of gulling the peo- pie. He has succeeded so ad- mirably, heretofore, on such sur face schemes that he is still hope ful of the chaff being once more swallowed.
 The non-refeeting element will "ehaw their bits and rant and rave about the audacity of the Little Rock politicianers; but those who reflect and who have reasoning capacity enough to analyze the simplest problem, will readily understand that the political machinery of the coun- ties Is in the hands of the Demo- crats, and that neither Jeff. Da- wis or the Little Rock politi- eians" could control or effect 1t in the least.
 If the Democrats. of Drew county. for instance. wanted a County Convention they would have 1t. and Mir. Davis clap-trap mouthings would cut

If Governor Davis has made the people the best Governor they ever had, and is the only man to he found who would do as well, then there would be a reasonable excuse for electing him to third term; but if he has been no better than others or even half as good, and there are scores of others who would do as well, or a great deal bet ter, 1t would be the blindest oi mad folly to elect him again.

SHAW EXPLAINS MEASURES
TO AID ST. LOUIS BANKS
Secretary Says Deposit of $780,
600, Fully Secured, Is Tenn
porary Loan.

CHICAGO, Sept. 5.-Secretary Shaw
was in Chicago to-day on his way to
Deadwood, S. D., to attend meeting of
the American Mining Congress. Regard
ing the action taken by him to relieve
the st. Louis banks from the strain in
cident to expenditures on account of the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition, he said:
The banks at St. Louis have advanced d.
rectly probably three millions Of the ten mill
lions expended upon the exposition grounds and
buildings and Indirectly nearly the entire
amount In addition to this they have ad-
vanced two three millions to concession
aires. They are now facing the annual de-
nand for money to move crops and are ship
ping out from $500. 600 to 100000 per day
The Government has appropriated $5 600 600 to
aid the exposition. This is applicable only to
meet the current expenditures. To relieve the
present situation 1 have arranged to deposit
two and half millions in the banks of st.
Louis and as security the banks will deposit
Ave millions of State and municipal bonds,
such as New York approves as security for
money belonging to widows and orphans. This,
however is intended a temporary loan and
will be gradually recalled the five millions
appropriated is expended.

TRAIN WRECKED
BY CLOUDBURST
Three Coaches Topple
From Rails at a
Washout.

BURLINGTON, Conn, Sept. 5.-A
cloudburst in the Pennington River VAL
ley, near Burlington, this afternoon led
to the wrecking of a passenger train on
the New Hartford branch of the North
ampton division of the New York, New
Haven and Hartford Railroad. The train
of three coaches toppled over on it's side
and about a dozen passengers were in
jured, none of them seriously. Had the
coaches fallen in the opposite direction
they would have gone into Pennington
River.
The cloudburst washed out about 100
feet Of the track at point where the line
makes a curve. The engineer did not see
the danger point until his engine crossed
1t and parted from the tender and cars.
The cars then toppled over.
The storm throughout this section was
the worst in many years.
NEW HAVEN, Conn, Sept. 5-An
electric storm of great severity swept
across Connecticut this afternoon. At
Thompsonville the storm is said to have
almost totally ruined the tobacco crop,
one grower placing his loss at 100000.
According to reports covering a wide sec
ton thereabouts, much of the growing
tobacco will not be worth gathering. Two
men were killed at Stafford Hollow by
lightning.

State and laying a proposition before the
membership for winter work. Upon his
return he and the other supreme officers
will start an aggressive campaign in San

for large class initiation with the idea
of securing at least 800 candidates for
admission into the several councils. An
effort will be made to have the councils
of Alameda County join in the proposed
class initiation.
The supreme councillor visited the coun-
ell at Berkeley in the early part of last
week, when five strangers were initiated.
He delivered an interesting address upon
the condition of the order. On August
rs he visited the council in Alameda
where there was an open meeting, an
entertainment and a social evening. He
addressed the meeting at length and Gre
ated a favorable impression.

part well. During the evening Ernest C.

was elected an honorary member of the
committee and was also called upon to

made by the chairman of the committee
it appears that the committee is in a
most prosperous condition and that its
efforts during the past year to foster the

much to attract strangers to the order.

to End Life.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 5.-The bodies
of Mrs. Rose Leisy. 35 years old. and her
two children. Gottfried. aged 16. and
Mary, aged 10 years, were found by the
police to-day in their home on German
town avenue. The mother and son lay on
a couch clasped in each others arms. and
the daughters body was lying on three
chairs at the foot of the couch.
The police and the Coroner's investiga-
ton developed the fact that the woman
and her children had died from poison
ing. 1t is believed that the family agreed
to end their lives together. Charles
Leisy, a brother Of the dead woman, ex-
pressed the opinion that fear Of her hus-
band, Fred Linegar, from whom she was
divorced, was the cause Of the act. Line
gar is in Switzerland, but according to
Leisy he had written a letter to his
former wife announcing his intention OF
coming to this country. Leisy said his
sister expressed fears that she would suf-
fer violence at his hands. The family
were not in want, as Mrs. Leisy had a
