SALOON FIGHT IN OSCEOLA.
An Effort Being Made to Secure the Licensing of Saloons
 at That Place.

Osceola, July II. The whisky and prohibition elements are hooked up in fierce fight Mis- sissippi is wet county, but the open saloon has been petitioned out of Osceola for several years under the three-mile law.
 Since the Joints" were closed down two weeks ago the whisky men have been circulating peti- tions to get the open saloons back.
 They met with success so far as securing a majority of names was concerned, but the preamble to petition read: "three miles from a church" instead of "school buildings" The county court allowed the whisky men to file their petition, but ordered them to make a complete census and amend the petition by in- serting "schoolhouse" instead of church. The matter will come up for final disposition at adjourned term of court Tuesday.

CONCERTED MOVE
 IS BEING MADE.
Army and Navy Forces Prepar- ing Attack on Kia Chou, and Big Doings Are
 Soon Expected.

New Chwang, July Il. Since Friday the Japanese troops have b cen advancing rapidly on Ia Tche Kiao. The firing was in- cessant on Monday south of this city. The mikado's men pushed forward rapidly and carried the Russian intrenchments, compell- ing the enemy to fall back to Tas Chou Tien. The weather continues fine and the roads are now fairly good. The Japanese are expected to continue their forward movement. The Rus sians say they expect the most important battle of the war, up to this point, will be fought at Ia Tche Kiao. They are. conf- dent of victory, and say that Kuropatkin is now prepared to strike.
 Japanese vessels have been seen off Kai Chou. Itis believed that they are keeping in touch with the advance of the land forces and that if the Japanese take Ia Tche Kiao, which is thought to be their objective, it is believed that a landing will be simultaneously made at Yin Row.
 The Japanese began to push their advance north at dawn on July g, after taking Kia Chou, and since then have proceeded steadily. They kept their artil- lery we'll to the front and shelled and occupied Pint Zan, seven miles north, at noon, July 9. It is now reported that they are in close touch with Ia Tche Kiao. Gen. Oku is said to be wearing a Chinese costume.
 Japanese scouts are close to Yin Row. They can be seen on the neighboring hilltops, from which they occasionally fire on the Russian outposts.

RIVERS
 SECOND RAMPAGE.
Overflow of Bottom Lands Re- gently Devastated Again Promised-Danger Line
 is Passed.

Little Rock, July 12. The Ar kansas river passed the danger line of 23 feet here last night, and will continue to rise, accord ing to predictions of the wdather bureau officials, until it reaches a stage of 25 feet.
 The river is still rising at Fort Smith and this indicates that the rise will continue at Little Rock for several days. It is believed that the water will continue to rise at Little Rock for at least three or four days, but the rise will probably be slow during the last two days of this period.
 With a stage of 25 feet at Lit tie Rock it is feared that a large area of low lands below this city will be inundated, as the water begins to overflow the banks when the danger line is reached at Little Rock.
 River men state that much of the lowlands near the river will be flooded if the river reaches a stage of 35 feet, but if it comes to stand at that point the dam- age will be small when compared to that inflicted by the flood a month ago.
 Little cotton will be affected by the overflow, as all cotton on the territory which would be covered was killed by the last overflow. A large part of this ground has just been replanted in corn, beans, potatoes and other crops, and if these crops. are destroyed the efforts of the planters to utilize the ground desolated by the flood will be thwarted.
 Reports received in the city Monday from points above Little Rock show that a large part of the lowlands along the river have already been flooded, but the greatest damage is to be expect ed below this city. No serious overflow has been reported be- low Little Rock. but if the river continues to rise as expected a heavy loss is probable.

DUTY OF DEMOCRATS
Grand Glaize Democrat Disputes Duty of Democrats to Vote
 for Election of Davis.
!, Grand Glaize, July 12.

Grand Glaize, July 12.
 Now some time has elapsed , since the Democratic state con- svention completed it's delibera- tions at Hot Springs and the peo- pie have been brought face to face with the question as to what IS my duty as a citizen of Ar kansas, and who has the best interest of the state at heart? } A great many of us voted in the primaries and there is an un- written law that those that vote in the primaries should support the ticket. Now let us see. There were positive instructions to let only known Democrats vote, yet it is known fact that avowed Republicans were voted in every case where they would support the Davis element. Now if the alleged obligation by req son of participation in the prima- ries was ever binding it certainly is not, so far as the present cam paign is concerned. To make this obligation have any appear sace of being binding, the same rules of party practice should be observed by candidates as we'll as voters.
 The candidate cannot with good grace claim party tenets binding when he is a violator of party precedents?
 Then again, Gov. Davis has been and we believe justly charged with high treason in \ Gce and a betrayal of the trust Imposed in lhim by the people 9that made him chief executive of our great state, to the extent that should retire any man to private life.
 At the convention of the Wood clubs in Little Rock, of which Hon. Carroll Armstrong was chairman, the following was unanimously adopted: We con- demn thecandidacy of Gov. Davis for a third term as a crime against the laws and sacred usages of the Democratic party, we condemn it as un-American, un-democratic, un-p atriotic, monarchial in tendency, tyran- i.ical in practice and disastrous in results. :" If this was true before the primaries it is equally true now. It is also one of the settled rules of the Democratic party that no man shall have a third term as governor nor make use of his official influence to gratify his personal ambitions. Yet the governor has said to the criminal class of people from al- most every stump in the state: Give me your votes, and in re- turn I will give you your lib- erty." By his own acts the governor is proven to be the most persistent violator of party 'sprecedents, and every man that casts his vote for Davis in the coming election lends himself a sparty to the crime. What is our duty to ourselves, to our homes and to our state? Shall we con- Ptinue to support this policy or shall we take a stand for justice and right. Let us hear from others on this matter. Let us learn our duty and then do it like men. c. \. POINT.

a treat whica lovers Of high class
music could II afford to miss. The
pfoduction is dainty, picturesque and
refined and the reception accorded it
here as wen as elsewhere is sufficient
evidence that eoarseness and vulgar
ity is not essential for success.
The company is made up of four or
five stars, With one of the best trained
choruses ever seen on the local stage
The music is pretty, catchy, and above
all, the company has its own high
class ohrcestra, which adds greatly
to the attractiveness OF the music dur
ing the entire evening. There were
several numbers last night that
brought forth much applause. The
rendition of He Must be Punished"
Il the end of the first act was indeed
. treat along musical lines
The leading singers were unques
tlonably among the best that have
greeted a Brunswick audience in some
time The singing of Miss Eleanor
Burton seemed to please the local au-
dienee better that the others, though
the singing Of Miss Maude Hollis was
encored time and again They are
both singers Of ability and attribute
greatly to the success OF Dolly Var
den"
I'VE Met in Lovers Lane by Mr.
Thomas Daniel, basso profundo, was
among the most pleasing numbers on
tie program. He is rich and clear in
low notes and it was after he had
responded to several enchores before
the audience would part with him
During the deep singing of the chorus
the beautiful soprano voice Of Miss
Burton could he heard above all 9th
eis. and the bass and tenor of Mr.
Raymond Youngman seemed to add
a rsQre tunerul sound to the great
singing The balance Of the princi
pals are all singers Of ability, the
chorus well trained and balanced, the
costuming was beautiful and the mus
ic-loying and lheater going people OF
Brunswick wore treated to a most
enjoyable evening Of fine music.
