Dunn Orators and Newspapers Claiming
for Him the Sole Credit of the Four Per
Cent Gross Earnings BILL. r. Jacobs
the Father of the Measure-Comment
on the Situation.

"Remember," says the Norris Tribune,
"that the republican candidate for gov
ernor, R. c. Dunn, was the first one to
agitate a raise in the railroad tax
Remember nothing Of the kind. J. F.
jacobson introduced per cent gross
earnings bill at the legislative session OF
1897 and got it thru the house, before
Mr. Dunn ever opened his head on the
subject Later on he came to the front
and claimed all the credit for the agita-
ton. It Is now one of the bright partfc-
Mar ma ssaees in my record" The
same claim was made last night by James
A. Peterson. 1t Is fair to assume that al
the other claims made by Peterson fol
Dunn are as good as this one.

Frank l. stanton.-songs that seem as

the dialect Of the negro, voicing the
black mans joy or sorrow, to the poetry
of lucid English, singing courage into
black man and white man alike. Here
are some lines on 1.-THE Sassy Postum:

Tuesday Evening,

but 1T showed correct knowledge Of
the rules Of debate in frequently de-
manding of Mr.. Peterson that he talk
on Dunn and not on Lind: In a formal
debate one side must answer the state
ments made by the other if 1t has any
hope of winning. AS Mr.. Peterson
failed to comply with this fundamental
rule of debate, he has only himself to
blame for the impression taken away
by a majority Of those who attended
last nights meeting, that Mr.. Dunn
was heavy loser by the interesting
discussion Of his public career.
The first half of this year was noted fol
the severe and long continued labor dis
turbances at Cripple Creek, Col. They
would still have been under way had moi
Governor James H. Peabody cut the Cor
dian knot and protected the non unior
miners and the seceders from the Western
Federation Of Miners, who wanted to 81
to work He thus brought the strike tt
an end and allowed the mines to reoper
with something like their full quota o.
operatives. Governor Peabody was elected
in 1902, entered office in January, 1903, nj;
term will expire in January, 1905, and hi
has been renominated by the republicans
Ex-Governor Alva Adams has been 'ncm1'
mated by the democrats. He Is supported
py the labor unions Of the state. The
situation Is a most interesting one anc
the election in Colorado will be watched
with great interest everywhere.

HARW ELL-RHODES
 HOME WEDDING.

A pretty home wedding was solemnized at the residence of MT. and Mrs. J. w. Rhodes We'd nesday afternoon, Sept. Eth, at 5 o'clock, when their daughter, Lucy Pulliam was married to MT. Carl Mallory Harwell, of Friendship, Tenn.
 The wedding was especially pretty because of it's simplicity. The parlors of their beautiful new home were tastefully dec- orated in Southern smilax, white tulle and bride roses, every de- tail being in perfect accordance with the daintiness and refine ment of the bride.
 Preceding the ceremony Miss Hester Phillips, of Newport, Ark, who possesses a finely cultured voice of much sweetness, sang Dearest" by D nks, as a spec ial compliment to the bride. The bridal party descended the broad stairway to the strains of Men delssohn's wedding march, beau tifully rendered by Miss Bertha Harwell. The little flower girls, Elizabeth Keiser and Mary Cath erine Young in dainty white silk dresses, led the way. Then came Miss Nell Rhodes. as maid of honor, followed by the bride, who was met at the foot of the stairs by the groom, accompanied by his brother, Aubrey Harwell, who served as best man. Rev. w. F. Rhew, of the first Metho- dist church performed the cere- mony, after which a reception was held, and all joined in wish ing MT. and Mrs. Harwell large share of life's choicest blessings. The bride wore an exquisite gown of white crepe de chine, and her flowers were bride roses and ferns. AT "a
 Mrs. Harwell is a charming y, ung woman, endowed with an attractive personality and an eX- ceedingly unselfish and lovable disposition and has always been social favorite. t6
 MT. Harwell is one of the lead ing professors in the Arkansas Military Academy of Little Rock, and is a young man of sterling qualities.
 MT. and Mrs. Harwell left on the evening train for a short wedding trip, after which they will be at home to their friends at 2401 Gaines street, Little Rock.
 The wide popularity of the young couple was proved by the many handsome presents re- ceived, among which are some exquisite pieces of cut-glass and silver.
 Among the out-of-town guests were Misses Hal and Hester Phillips and Lucy Brantenburg, of Newport. -Osceola Times.

RossINe FOR BLACK BASS.
A Popular Sport Among Anglers of the
Southern States.

The fisherman of the North is more
accustomed to angling in swift cur
rents than to the quieter sport of his
Southern neighbors, but there are spo:s
in our rivers where bobbing for bass
can be INDUCED in successfully. A
long rod is needed for bobbing, which
is popular with the anglers in the
Southern states. The device is very
simple. A piece of stout line about
one yard in length is fastened to q
strong rod from ten to twenty feet in
length. Three hooks are fastened back
to back to the line and tied with the
white hair of a deer'S tail and a little
colored feather. The bait resembles A
little tassel which covers the hooks.
This method of fishing is very old with
the anglers. Bertram, a noted fisher
man, described in 1864 the bobbing
game as follows:
They are taken with the hook and
line, but without any bait. Two peo-
pie are in little canoe, one sitting in
the stern to steer, and the other, near
the bow, having Il rod ten or twelve
feet in length, to one end of which is
tied strong line about twenty inches
in length. to which is fastened the
three large hooks. The steersman
paddles softly and proceeds slowly
along shore; he now ingeniously
swings the bob backward and forward
just above the surface and sometimes
tips the water with it. when the I'M
fortunate cheated trout [black bass
instantly springs from under the reeds
and seizes the exposed prey"
Suffering for black bass is one ia
vorite way for anglers. 1t is exciting
sport. A small revolving spoon is at
tached to line ten to fifteen feet in
length, and no reel is necessary. With
this outfit the angler standing in a
boat. skips his decoy along the top of
the water, where the bass catches sight
of it and seiZes it. Then the sport be-
gins. The angler draws his prize along
the top of the water, where the bass
catches sight of it and seizes it. Then
the sport begins. The angler draws
his prize along the surface of the water,
taking care not to let the bass take a
header or leap into the air. When he
gets it near the boat he takes hold of
