 Yours truly,
 Thos. C. NcRae.
 aGoverHor Davis pardoned Pemp Brown who was suppos- ed to have assaulted q white girl in Conway county after strong petition from some of the best citizens of Conway county. and the anti Davis "crue" howl about it. Judge Wood set free Will Bussey, a negro, for worse crime perpetrated upon a white married woman, than the sup posed assault Pomp Brown made. Will Bussey was sentene. ed to hang, the case was appeal cd to tile Supreme Court, and what did 1t do? Set him free Now anti-Davis "crue,e will ye howl again? See 69th Arkansas report '
 The above is taken from the Rison Bazoo, a paper published in Cleveland county, and the on lv Jeff Davis organ in this part of the State; and since the sqaib Is in line with a statement issued by Davis in one of his circulars. which his friends are reading and. apparently, rejoicing over, in va- rious portions of the State, We must bef the indulgence of our readers for making a plain state ment of the facts in both cases, the Pomp Brown and Will Bus seg.
 h the PomP Brown case there was no supposed to have as sauIted q white girl about the matter, if the white girl is to be believed. She swore before the court. and sWears now. that Pomp Brown. negro whom she knew well, met her in the road, and dragged her from her horse. Here Is her sworn state nent. "I was at the time about 16 wears old and lived with my father, \. H. Mccullough, about two miles from Plummcrville l was riding along the road about a mile from my father S house knew the negro Pomp Brown well saw him coming meeting me, walking in the mid dle of the road. l saw he was not going to give the road and reined my horse out of the road to let him pass. When he got opposite me he caught me and pulled me off my horse and be gun trying to carry me into the woods and almost tore my clothes off of me. resisted and hallooed until l was almost eX- hausted, and happened to think chat might triehten him and hallooed to hun that saw my father coming and he released me and ran off. l think the ac- ton ot Governor Davis in par doning him a gross insult to me, as well as to every respectable wAitelady in Arkansas.
 After reading this affidavit, whereinc can there be any grounds for supposition or doubt about che matter, unless it be to doubt tae truthfulness of this poor girls statement? She made this statement immediately after the crime was committed. she re-iter- ated 1t before the jury that con- victed Pomp Brown and she makes 1t now.
 To sneak of the affair as a supposed assault" is a gross re- nection upon the truthtulness and honor of this young lady and to do so, with the facts which have been revealed in thls case, is not only ungenerous but is ungentlemanly.
 Now, as to q statement oi the facts in the Will Bussey ease s.nd see how they conport with the Razoo's statement and those made by Davis, in his circular Will Bnssey was accused ot the

SIMPLE REMEDY FOR CATARnH
just Breathe Hyomei Four Times
Day and Be Cured.

If a few years ago some one had
said you can cure catarrh by breath
ing air charged with healing balsam,
the idea would have been ridiculed
and it remained for that eminent in
vestigator, r. T. Booth, to discover
in Hyomei this method of cure.
Hyomei has performed almost mira
culous cures of cstarrh, and is today
recognized by leading members Of the
medical profession as the only adver-
tised remedy that can be relied upon
to do just what it claims. The COM
plete outfit of Hyomei costs but s1.00
and consists of an inhaler, a medicine
dropper and bottle of Hyomei.
Breathe Hyomei through the inhaler
for few minutes four times day
and it will cure the worst case of
catarrh. 1t soothes and heals the
mucous membrance of the air pas
sages, prevents irritation, and effects
a complete and lasting cure.
In Palestine there are scores of wen
known people who have been cured Of
catarrh by Hyomei. If it does not
cure you Bratton Drug Co. will return
the money you paid for Hyomei. This
is the strongest evidence that can be
offered as to their faith in the remedy.

JAPS READY TO
TAKE LAO YANG
Opposing Armies Are Facing Each
Other Along the Liank
River.

Headquarters General Count Keller
Nieut Kiay, Near Liam Dian Sian, July
12.-The opposing armies are grimIy
facing each other on the heights across
the Liank river, ready to engage in a
death grapple.
The Liank crosses the main Lao
Yang Feng Hang Wang Cheng road
% miles east of Lao Yang. 1t flows
north into the Tai Use river, which
passes through Lao Yang and empties
into the Lao river.
A correspondent of the Associated
Press, who arrived here after a 35 mile
ride FROM Siao Lind il, saw long lines
of infantry and transport trains wind
ing through the mountains.
At Liam Dian Sian the lookout sta
TONED In a tree top pointed out the
way to General Keller's headquarters
near Nieutkay.
There the Russian eastern army was
found hidden in the hills. In a plain
tent the correspondent saw General
Keller living like a simple soldier, his
staff being CHARTERED in hut near by.
The general looked cheerful, and was
bronzed by exposure. He talked en-
Enthusiastically of the engagement at
Hoi Van.
Around the generals tent were
many officers and guards, the pride OF
st. Petersburg. To see them, weather
beaten as Cossack officers, one could
scarcely believe them to be dashing
guardsmen at the Russian capital.
They have become hardened fighters,
for hardly day passes without col
lisions between the advance posts of
the eastern army of the Japanese.
The whole army is anxious to fight
General Kuroki, whose headquarters
are at Vindia Pudze, and whose men
are entrenched on the other side of
the river.
The great question is, who will be
first TO cross the dread valley of the
Liank river.

A conAagration, in which forty facto-
ries were destroyed, occurred al Zurich,
last night The loss is very heavy.
Iii is rumored in French naval circles
that two battleships will be sent to Mo-
rocco Immediately to assist in suppress
ing the threatened disorder there.
A dispatch from Simpheropal says
that the commander in-chief of the Rus
sian Black Sea fleet has ordered So sail
Ors TO be court martialed The charge
against them is mutiny.
All departments of work on Russian
State railways including signal lights,
have been opened to women of whom
%, coo are already employed. This move
on the part of the government is caused
by the drafting Of all available men for
war purposes.
1t is stated that the purpose OF the
visit of the three Russian officials who
have arrived at Toulon, France, is to
try to arrange for the immediate construc-
ton OF several warships They have Of

THE WAR IN THE EAST.

1t is understood that the japanese
dynamiting and paralleling against the
eastern section of the main circle Of forts
around Port Arthur is progressing favor
ably. The right wing of the besiegers
continues a heavy and effective Smelling
Of the new town, preparatory to opera
lions which are nearing completion. 1t
is probable that the next attack will be
simultaneously directed against the east
and west faces Of the fortress, in an en-
deavor to divide and weaken the resist
ance of the defenders.
Trustworthy advices received in Toxic
from Port Arthur confirm the report that
Gen. Kondrachenko has been killed and
th9t Gen. StOessel has been injured by
fsllins from his horse. Gen. SnilnOff is
also reported wounded. The advices
further say that the stern Of the battle
ship Seyastopol has sunk in shallow
water. Her bow is damaged in two
places, and the steering-gear room is also
damaged. The garrison is reported TO
be confident in the belief that relief will
arrive before March /. Despite its
heavy losses November 26, and subse-
Quently, the garrison is said to be cheer
full and resolved to continue the struggle
as long as a single soldier remains.
The japanese House of Peers yesIer-
day unanimously passed all the govern
ment's taxation bills and financial meas
ures in the form in which they were sent
up from the House of Representatives.
Such celebrity and unanimity on the part
of both Houses is unprecedented in Japa-
nese- parliamentary procedure. Count
Katsurs thanked the peers in the name
of the country and declared his conviction
that when the facts were communicated
to the nations soldiers and sailors they
would be neryed to redOubed efforts to
discharge their duty to thu fatherland.
Both houses commissioned their pres
idents to proceed to the railway station
to meet Admirals Togo and Kamimura,
who are expected TO reach Toxic to-
morrow. The lower house, amid loud
reclamation, voted the following address +:
"The enemy's feet at Port Arthur be-
ing destroyed, portion of the empires
united squadrOns has been relieved from
blockading duty, and the great result is
recorded as being due to the unfailing
and competent discharge of their duties
BY officers, subofficers and men, but it is
not possible il could have been achieved
unless the commanders stately had been
well adapted to the occasion and his
leadership able. Therefore, on the
occasion of Admiral Togo's victorious
return, the House extends to him a
hearty welcome"
