THE JUDICIARY
 JEFF AND JEPHTHA.

Of us whose memories are not slow can easily remember when Poker Job, then Chief Justice, and Yonley, then Chancellor of Pulaski chancery court, visited Fort Smith when great pow WOW of carpet baggers, rene gades and misguided negroes was held here in 1872, and made in- cendiary speeches preparatory to stufing ballot boxes and carry ing elections with red ink, aided by thugs and militia at the polls.
 For years after these experi- ences, such judges as the Demo cratic party has selected to fill an honorable position on the su- preme bench of the state have carefully abstained from stump speeches and from all connec- tion with politics and political conventions unless themselves candidates for some other office.
 How times have changed, and how sadly judges have changed with them! Now we have Hon. Jeptha Evans, the circuit judge of an adjoining circuit, making speeches during the sessions of his court in favor of a man who has twice been honored by the Democrats of Arkansas with the nomination and election to the office of governor, and who will leave his office at the expiration of his second term without being able to point to one single act or measure originated by him for the welfare of the people of his native state, and that, too, in violation of all Democratic pre- cedents for a third term; and yet it is only a few months ago since this same governor, who has par doned 750 criminals in less than three years, some of them for the foulest and most infamous crimes known, denounced and spurned this very same Jeptha Evans, charging him with treach- cry, deceit, falsehood and hy- pocrisy, in the public press of the state, and has never withdrawn anything then said, so far as the public know. They have made up, not. through the public press, but behind closed doors, in the white heat of a political campaign which the governor calls the fight of his life" :"
 Mcclure and Yonley and Ham, bad as they were, carpet-baggers and renegades, never sunk that low.
 What a disgrace to the judici- ary What an object lesson for the young manhood of the state ! What a reflection upon the de- cency, integrity and honor of the bar What a shame upon the good people and the Democrats of his circuit! We know what Ham got. Going on the bench ignor- ant and penniless, when he left Arkansas a few years later, be- tween two suns, he established a bank in California.
 What does Judge Evans ex- pect ? Let us wait. The end is not yet. We have seen superser- viceable psrtisans of Governor Davis openly rewarded with chancellorships at the expense of the people, and then openly con- tinue their partisan services for him while on the bench. What is there behind ? Jeff and Jeph- tha know each other we'll and Jeff and Jeff demands Jephtha's services in advance. But can Jeptha trust Jeff any more than Jeff can trust Jephtha !? Jephtha is not crazy and nobody suspects him of being a fool or iii search of his health.
 Let us wait wait for a day of reckoning, when whited sepul- chres shall be turned down and

office than an other, The tot vote

' Icon 0Dd Independent
Opponents.
]. EMMETT WOLFE REPUD|ATED BY
His Own County and Badly Beaten by
O'Neil in the State.

The entire democratic state tick
ct of Florida was elected last Tues
day. 1t is impossible from the
returns, which are coming in slow
ly, to. give the democratic plurali-
ty in the state, but the returns so
far received Indicate that the es-
innate of 10000 for the state tick
ct and shade less for presiden-
tial electors is substantially cor
rect.
Chief interest in the election
was centred in the three-cornered
contest for State Superintendent
of Public Instruction, and the re-
suit is particularly gratifying to
democrats who believe in lawful
procedure as regards party nom
nation.
w. NJ. Holloway was nominated
in the democratic primaries. He
was obnoxious to the state eXecu-
tive committee and a quorum of
that body, largely represented by
proxies, after failing to secure
Holloway's withdrawal, nominat-
ed J. Emmett Wolfe for the same
office, and urged democrats of the
state to support that candidate.
Mr.. O'Neil, the republican can
didate, is clean gentleman, but
his politics are off color for demo-
Gratis, He received little support
from democrats.
The result of Tuesdays election
shows that Holloway received a
considerable majority over both
O'Neil and Wolfe, and that the
latter was badly beaten by his re-
publican opponent. Even Wolfe's
own county of Escambia, which
r4pudiated him in the primaries
for county office, sat down on
his independent aspirations this
time very, very hard.

WAR PHOTOGRAPHS.

 Correspondents Camera Showed Shell
 That Killed Him.
 In some respects one of the most re markable war photographs ever made was secured by man named Meyer, . correspondent for German illustrated newspaper during the war in South Africa. Meyer was with the Boers, and one day, during one of Buffers attacks along the Tugela, he took position on the firing line. The fire from the British batteries across the river was very heavy during the preliminary period of the assault and shells literally rained on the low-lying kopjes occupied by Botha's army. Meyer thought he saw a good opportunity to secure fine picture and he jumped out of his "schanze" to snap it.
 Just then a big lyddite shell exploded within a few feet of him, killing him in- stantly. afterward secured hiscamera which was comparatively uninjured When the film it contained was devel- oped I Idiscoyered that Meyer had made a beautiful photograph of the huge shell which .snuffed out his life. I sent a copy of the picture to his relatives in Germany.
 In very recent wars the motion pic ture cameras have made their appear ance. Considering the difficulties at tending ordinary photography in war, one can imagine at what expense of money and labor-to say nothing of courage moving scenes on the firing line are secured c. Fred Alderman with whom ' tented in China, is un- doubtedly the most successful of the war motion picture operators His first experience was in the Philippines where lie secured. in. the face of tre- mendous difficulties, some remarkable results.
 One picture in particular was a won- derful bit of realism Alderman had his camera right on the firing line and two American soldiers were hit and fell directly in front of the lens and only a short distance away In the natural excitement of operating his camera un- der such circumstances Alderman did not know that he had photographed two men in the act of being struck down until many months afterward, when he IsaW the picture exhibited in q New York theater.- Everybody's Magazine

He goes to sleep at once amid the quiet. beautiful surroundings I-I shall have the place made simple, but luxurious. The cool or the warm atmosphere, as the case may be, soothes the nerves. He awakes fit for any thing. You know what even a five min utes' nap means to most men. See? "Or take the case of the fellow who has worked long. trying day. and has a long, trying evening before him. Perhaps he has to go to dinner party, or perhaps he is to take his wife to the theater or his girl to coney Island. Oh, what he would give for half an hours rest! But home is too far, and a hotel is too dear and too elaborate; so he. just tries to prime himself up with stimulants When my place is open he'll come in and lie down, sleep half an hour, dream in comfort and step out new man.

Every one os these has handsome ladies' parlor, with lounges: and the women, when they are tired rushing the bar gain counters, go in there and lie down. Some of the big railway stations have them, too. But nobody seems to think that a man has right to get tired. '' New York Sun.

grizzly to leave cover. and one Of the buckayros, daredevil Mexican, offered to 20 in and drive him out. He dis mounted and entered the brush. while the others gathered around. Tiatas in hand, ready to rope in the bear the moment he appeared.
 The Mexican had not gone 20 yards into the chamisO before his friends heard a tremendous growing and the rush of some heavy body through the brush. The next moment the Mexican shot out from the middle of the patch as though sent from cannon. H was thrown fully six feet above the top of the thick brush, and in falling back spread himself out in such a way that the boughs supported him. s-
 The grizzly, not understanding the sudden disappearance of his enemy, was rushing about, thoroughly angered. It was only question of a moment or two until his rushing tactics would shake the man to the ground, which would have been the end.
 Don Carlos, putting spurs to his horse, dashed into the thicket, hoping to attact to himself the attention of the angry grizzly. His path took him under the bush on which the buckayro was sup ported. and,reaching up. the don seized him by the legs.
 At the same moment the bear made rush for the horse. With great diff ficulty Don Carlos retained his hold on the unconscious man, as the horse tore through the brush with the bear in close pursuit. Both men and beast were bad ly bruised and torn with the brush. The grizzly followed them into the open. where he was quickly entangled in the riatas of the others. On examining the man to whom had come the catapult ex- perienee, they found the bear had all but scalped him with a single blow. For long time the fellow was not right in his head, but he finally recovered. .-New York Tribune.

LAsso1NG GRIZZLIES.

A Dangerous Sport That Wanes for Want of Men to Follow 1t Enormous
 Strength of the Bear.
 In the mountains of the West, the vast and tumbled Rockies and the
 jagged, far-reaching sierTas, the grizzly
 has become the particular desire of the most modern of hunters the men who sally forth with rapid cameras instead
 of repeating express rifles, who press a
 high-speed shutter instead of hair trigger. It takes daring nerve to face lone of these fierce, fight-loving creatures lwith nothingy more deathdealing than
 a camera, and the photographic hunters tell of many narrow escapes.
 They are not the first grizzly hunt CTS, however, to scorn the rife i'll hunt | ing the huge bears. One of the camera hunters found this out few weeks ago Iwken he settled down for rest by the Pacific in the Santa Barbara Valley after successful, though bloodless lcampaign through the California noun tains, in which he secured number of l fine grizzly negatives. Itwas not long
 before the old Spanish dons, who form | the oldest settlers" portion of the lpopulation, heard of him, and came laround to see his brave pictures" as | they called them.
 No hunters ever knew the grizzly Emere intimately than these men of linked Spanish and Mexican blood.
 They hunted with riata and bowie knife, Iscfiorning the safety of the rifle as do Ithe camera hunters of to-day But the game they played was more dangerous, for they had to be In at the death, while | with the man of dry plates and films lthere is no such end. The excitement lof the personal conflict more than re- paid the Spaniards for the risks they ran, and they ranmany for Tn those golden days, in the Ojai and Santa
 Ynez Valleys, there was a grizzly for
 every acorn bearing wild oak, and some
 of them weighed more than a ton, if the old dons can be belived.
 The sight of the grizzly photographs was enough to make the old dons fight
 over their battles, showing 8 scar for nearly every one. The photographer
 found many of them in crumbling adobe houses arlong the coast. Their hair is
 white, their steps totter'ing, their eyes
 half dim, and their speech growing thick, but they remember most vividly \ the battles of their youth.
 The two most famous grizzly fighting dons in the, Southern California died not long ago within few months oi each, other. They were Carlos Rod- riguez and Ernedi Ortega, neigl1bors and rivals from boyhood. Different figures are given of the number of grizzly vic- | tiIns each man claimed, and the ques- tion who was the more skilful and dar- ling fighter is often discussed. f One of the most thrilling encounters | in which Don Carles figured took place on mesa in the Santa Ynez Mountains He was herding big bunch of cattle there with the help of half dozer buckayros. One afternoon they located a grizzly, and ran him into field oi ehamiso brush which covered the center of the mountain fiat, All of the outfit were we'll mounted and eager for a bear-roping contest which was their favorite diversion.
