ARKANSAS ANTHRACITE
 HELPED BY STRIKE.

B. T. Mcconnell of Clarksville, formerly the superintendent of the state penitentiary, who was in Little Rock Wednesday, says the prospects for the further development of the coal mines of the Spadra or anthra- cite district are improving every day. There are now in operation eleven shafts in the district, and in the course of the present year there will probably be number of others be- gun, if not completed. It would be hard to estimate, he says, the total output of the mines from the fact that there are several stations from which the coal is shipped. He is himself largely interested in the fields, but has never had anything to do with the active management of the properties. Two of the mines have turned out in the present season not less than 8O,- 900 tons of the best semi anthracite. MT. Mcconnell emphatically says that the great Pennsylvania strike of last year was the making of the Arkansas mines. Before that time their pro- duct was hardly known outside the state, and if known the consumers were suspicious of change from the Pennsylvania anthracite. Now that they have been forced to use the Arkansas coal they have found that it is just as good, and in some cases bet ter, than the Eastern product, and the orders from the large Western manufactories continue to come in thought the Pennsylvania trouble stopped several months ago.-Arkan- sas Gazette.

FIGHTING FOR TERRITORY.
Contest Between Frisco and Gould Systems at Carthage for Use of a
 Street Taken Into Court

The Missouri Pacific and Frisco interests have clashed at Carthage, Mo-, over the question of right of way, and the matter has reached the courts.
 About midnight Monday Sheriff Owens of Jasper county, Mo-, served writ of injunction upon the Frisco officials at the instance of Mayor Chaffee of Carthage. The object of this proceeding is to prevent the Frisco from finishing 165 feet of switching track on Mound street, which is near the termination of the railroads yards in the northeastern part of Carthage. The company started large force of men at about 5 o'clock Monday afternoon. Mayor Chaffee and large number of citi- zens and officers at once went to the laborers, and by threats of force com pelled them to desist. A few minutes subsequently, the injunction papers were served.
 It is understood that the highway involved is one secured by the city of Carthage for the Gould White river line. Engineers for both the Frisco and the White river line have recent ly made surveys along this route. From the intense manner in which the point is being contested it is pro- bable that the two Kansas City Mem phis lines will frequently lock horns before the tracks are ready to receive trains.

Little Rock, Feb Ex-Governor Davis admitted fo the committee on ways and means last night that he had drawn on his contingent fund for telegraph and telephone tolls which were not technically state business. | The announcement came somewhat as shock to the large crowd who were present, and during the rest of the evening every word uttered in the closest attention.
 Governor Davis made the announce- ment when the committee proposed to give him list of the vouchers to which exception had been taken, in order that he might prepare his answer to the charges. He said that he thought he could shorten the mat ter considerably, and would admit the fact, that that feature of the investi- gation might be closed. This was not acceptable to the members of the com mittee, however, and the investiga tion will go ahead without interrup- tion.
 The session held last night was a brief one, owing to the fact that ad journment was taken in order that the governor might have time to prepare his answer. The latter said he was perfectly willing to go ahead right then, inasmuch as the committee had refused to point out the objectionable feature in the vouchers under discus sion. Only one witness was examined last night, T. H. Bunch, the coal man, but he was excused after a few min utes, owing to the fact that it was proven that he knew absolutely noth- ing about the case under discussion. The committee will meet again to- l night at 7:30 o'clock, and at that time the committee will resume considera- tion of the telephone and telegraph charges.

Hall is a Mississippi negro and was

ing Bob McAllister, colored, over two
years ago. He IL known in some To-

reputation of being a desperate negro.

FOUND THE MARK.

Democratic papers seem to be tick
led over Mr.. W. J. Bryan's hot criti-
cism of Senator Marcus Hanna at a
speech Mr.. Bryan made q few days
ago in Ohio. Senator Hanna. it seems,
incurred the wrath Of the Hon. Tom
johnson element of Democracy by say.
ing that its teachings were partly re.
sponsible for the class hatred which
results in such lamentable deeds as the
assassination of President Mckinley
We know of no one who could more
justifiably get ruffled over the accuse
tion than Mr.. Bryan, who is the vaunt-
ed leader and champion of all the mar.
row, disgruntled and unscrupulous
people in the country. The hit dog
bowls and Mr.. Bryan is making the
most noise. He is quite excusable in
resenting the cutting words Of Senator
Hanna. which he knows are only too
true. II the danger that Turks in &C
oepting the infiammatory, anarchistic
teachings of such Democrats as Bryan
and johnson were not repudiated by
the people of the United States the
country would indeed soon be in bad
straits.
Mr.. Bryan. by the way, who has al,
ways direcred his anathemas at the
rich-at the classes-is now q rich
man himself. In accordance with his
teachings he ought to give it to the
worthy poor. as he couldn't have earned
by work in the few years since he was
poor, the 5000. 900 he has in bank. He
has just simply got in . good graft on
the people and like other men have
done, and like other rich men do, takes
all he can rake in.
Instead Of going about the country
abusing men in whom the people have
the utmost confidence, however, he
ought TO subside and spend his modest
in peace and luxury. The
people Of the United States have twice
him, and he should now
disappear from view as . commodity
with no marketable value.

There 10 no apparent occasion for
any Of the newspapers. especially

Mr.. Charles N. Sohwab skinned some

deal he makes, and if Mr.. Schwab was
able to bay a steel plant for 81, 900, 900
and sell it for $50, 900, 900. isn't it q
fairly good indication that he is fully
up to snuff, even for these strenuous
times? How many men are there who
would not have done the same thing
had they possessed the brains and OPP
portunity?
