Governor Jeff Davis, the demo- cratic nominee for reelection, ad- dressed a vast assemblage of vot- CTS at the big picnic here Monday. He was introduced by Hon. F. NJ. Martin and spoke for about an hour and a half. He was frequent ly greeted by applause, and we feel safe in saying that the gover- nor captured many who have been standing aloof, undecided whether to go fishing on the 9th of Septem- Der or go and vote.
 The most important points coy cred by his speech were IS follows:
 We have just passed through one of the most bitter partisan campaigns ever waged in Arkan- sas. That wounds and disappoint- ments have followed there can be no doubt. But We agreed when we went into the primary, that if we did not get our choice we would submit to the will of the majority and vote the ticket. He felt that if he had been defeated his friends would have Loyalty supported Judge Wood, and now he expected those who voted for Wood to do likewise by him. He then reviewed the action of the State board of election commission CTS, and said he had fought the trusts, the corporations and the enemies of good government, and had whipped them; but he ought not to be required to fight election commissioners appointed by dem ocratic board.
 Myers says that if he is elected governor, and any vacancies in of flee should occur, he would appoint democrats. No one believes this statement, and 1t only shows that Myers is trifing with the con6- dence of the people. Suppose one of your supreme judges should die. Do you think Myers would appoint democrat? Or suppose the att torney general or secretary of state, who are members of the state board of election commission CTS, should die. Do you suppose he would lose an opportunity like this to gain control of the election machinery?
 1t has been said that 1 have done nothing but run for office, said the governor. Let us see if this is true. You will remember that l assumed the duties of governor January Is, 1901. On that dete l you had in the state treasury l $285, ,661.37. I have been your governor nearly four years, and on the 23rd of this last July you had s1, ATS, 243.6 63 in the treasury; an increase of $1,192, .26-a pretty fair showing, isn't 1t, in fhe handling of your finances.
 So you see your money has not been squandered. The taxes have been collected and carefully garner ed, and the money is there in the State treasury where any of you

can come in and count it for your self any day you want to. We have more money than we need, and 1 shall recommend a reduction of taxes to the next legislature.
 He then reviewed the VowelI case and said 1t had been charged that he was an enemy to the old Confederate soldiers. He then stated that during the three years proceeding his administration there was paid to the old Confederates of this state 52,6t9.74 in pen sions. During the three years of his administration there has been paid to these old War-scarred vet erans 1868, ,051. 34, or more than double the amount paid by the proceeding administration. Isn't this a good showing and isn't 1t a record that every old Confederate should feel proud of?
 In refutation of the charge that he is unfriendly to public schools, he said that he was educated in the public schools; was educating his ten or twelve little whitehead ed Davises in the public schools; and why should he be unfriendIy to the public schools. Our public school system is almost perfect. We pay more for the education of the negro children in Arkansas than Massachusetts pays for the education of her white children. During his administration we have paid out S300,000 more to the pub lie schools than any other admins tration had ever paid.
 When he went into the gover- nor's chair there was outstanding against the state of Arkansas a bonded indebtness of S64, GOO. During his administration we have paid every dollar of this except S17, 300, and would pay that today if the bond-holders would surrend- CT the bonds.
 It has been said that his election would set the state back p years, lessen the value of property and stop immigration. But the records shows that in 1899 the total value of ass essed property in Arkansas was S189, ,999, ,000.50. In 1900 it was $201, sos. .7S3.
 The population of Arkansas had increased 9 per cent since he had been our governor. More rail- roads have been built, more mills, factories, more telephone and tele- graph lines have been built and more foreign capital invested dur ing his three years as governor than ever before in the same per- iod in the history of the state.
 
 It was not necessary to discuss the tariff, the money question or the imperialistic policy of the re- publican party, but there is one issue raised by the republicans which came home to the hearth stone of every home in Arkansas. It is an issue which you have to settle, and an issue which fore bodes evil should the republicans

RAILROADS KEEP FAITH
MILLERS GRATIFIED OVER THE
ACTION OF THE EASTERN
TRUNK LINES RELATIVE TO
RATES.

Indications that the eastern lines are
keeping faith in the matter of grain
rates, eastbound ARE pleasing to the flour
millers of Minneapolis. Announcement
has been made by the trunk lines east
OF Buffalo Of another advance on grain
rates to the Atlantic seaboard Nov. l.
M h AT to zone oneha 1f cent P%she
rates will be operative fifteen days only,
for Nov. 16 further advance of a
half-cent bushel will be made on
wheat, flax, corn and rye and one-quar-
ter cent on barley.
=, These successive advances, beginning
Sept. l6 with half-cent, resulted from
the conference of representatives Of the
the traffic managers, which was attend
ed by G. G. Bovey and Clifford Fair
child of Minneapolis.
Mr.. Fairchild of the Pillsbury- Wash
burn company said today that the lat
est advance was very gratifying. The
advances show that the trunk lines are
on the 4 right track fk and that they pro;

volume Of traffic in the manufactured
product than in the raw material. The
traffic in the manufactured product is
not SpaSmOdlc as 1t IS IN the raw ma
terial which moves only in the fall
while -four moves the year round, and
is as steady as can be.' -
Unfortunately the millers have gotten
entirely out Of the range Of the foreign
markets and have done so little export
business lately as to have not yet had
the opportunity to prove to the trunk
lines that figures and arguments adj
vanced at the New York conference
were correct. However, the export
business will begin soon.

CARELESS ABOUT MONEY
SOME FOLKS WHO DON'T TRY TO
COLLECT BILLS FROM CITY.

It is currently supposed that all
claims against the city are promptly col
lected, as the city is very "good pay'
in all its business transactions, but will
lam B. Jones, assistant city controller,
IN going thru a package of old war
tie regard for money that they will not
come for it to the city hall. ~.
Many OF the warrants are for trivial
amounts, but others quite worth the
while, and why they have not been
called for would probably disclose some
stories.
In a bunch Of warrants on the street
is in favor of J. Mclaughlin, and calls
for S.. It is signed by John DeLaittre
as mayor, and Frank j. Mead as city
clerk. It is assumed that Mr.. McLaugh-
lin was dissatisfied with the award and
and refused to take it.
q, Should the, prosperous Minneapolis &
st., Louis railway company need a few
dollars for an emergency, the officers
are advised that the controller has three
warrants which he will turn over to the
proper authorities. They were drawn
in 1888 and are worth just 81 each.
The amounts represent awards for
land taken in the opening of Lyndale
There are also five warrants for 81 each
i'll favor Of the Minneapolis, Lyndale
and Minnetonka railway, the old emo
tor Ene' to Minnetonka. This com
pany was dissolved years ago.
In the bunch of uncalled for warrants
IS one for the sum Of $17O drawn in
favor of Anna Madison in 1890. An
other warrant dated the same year en-
titles, Thomas j.. Morgan to $75, when
ever he calls for it. That these claims
were. never collected-is probably due to
the fact that the parties named could
not prove their title clear to the prop
erty taken, and when the true owner
ship was established the matter was for
gotten in some way.

PARK LAWS REVISED
The General Ordinance Redrafted to
Remedy Certain Weak Points.

G. J. lockwood, attorney for the
park board has redrafted the general
park ordinance so as to cover several
points which have been raised from
and authority Of the board. The changes
from the ordinance now in force are
largely technical, but the effect Of the
proposed ordinance will be to strength
en- the board in the enforcement Of its
rules and make convictions more
certain.
The ordinance will be submitted to
the park board at it's next meeting, and
after being approved by that board will
be sent to the city council with the re-
quest that it be passed.
It is noted that the ordinance still
retains several of the regulations
against which the public has shown
considerable disfavor One in partic-
u1ar is the prohibition against carry
ing any kind of flowers in the parks.

SAYS WEST SWAPS
NATIONS DESTINY
Newell Dwight Hills Declares Flu
ture Great Americans Are
in the West.

New York, Oct. 24.-In sermon on
the work of missionaries in this coun-
try in the last hundred years, Rev. Dr.
Newell Dwight Hills, in Plymouth
church., Brook yn, has declared that the
men of the west are the true molders
of the nation s destiny. He said:
So ccustomed are we to thinking that
Athens made Greece, that Rome made
Italy, that Paris made France that Eng
land Is London, that we believed now as
New York goes so goes the destiny Of
the United States. But I say that as New
York goes so does not go the destiny and
history of the United States. I do not mean
that New York has no influence, but we
in our self-sufficiency have come to over
emphasize ourselves.
The boy who is nourished in the city,
who all his life has breathed only the
tainted air of the city and has been
cramped by his surroundings, has no
chance. 1t IS the boy who has been
reared far from the compexity of city
life that does things Here a man loses
his Individuality. The men who will
make themselves known forty years
hence are now husking corn in Nebraska.
The real preachers, DR.. Hills went
on, are those whose work is done in
the west, and he contrasted their field
with his own, saying:
I am a man who spends his time mix
ing tonics to try to get up an appetite in
you who are gorged to the point of glut-
tony.
There is no pessimism beyond the
mountains, no talking down Of the in
situations Of this country. Those men
have now begun revival of patriot
ism to oppose the pessimism of you men
of New York. 1t is the west that has
furnished the heroes for the last two or
three generations.
Here you are eating many kinds of
foods, pouring rich wines down your
threats, saturating yourselves with all
kinds of ease and luxury and then pre-
pairing to die out of life when God has
put you here for something better. You
are not happy, but in seven days I could
make you happy. Organize the resources
of life in the interest Of the poor and
weak and for misery you will have happi-
ness, for sefshness that corrodes you
will have a blade that flashes more and
more and then you will know real lux
ury the luxury of service.

ST. PAUL MISSED
CUSHMAN SPEECH
Minnesota as Capital City Failed
to Hear One of Party's
Best Takers.
BY w. w. Jermane.

Chicago, Oct. 24-St. Paul didn't do
itself very proud when it turned out a
handful Of people to hear Congressman
F. w. Cushman of Washington last
Thursday night. Mr.. Cushman is one
of the strongest and most original talk
ers in the party, and in many respects
he is like our own j. Adam Bede. When
ever he is advertised to make a speech
in congress the galleries are filed to
Overlooking long before the time set.
Mr.. Cushman was on his way east to
take an active part in the campaign in
Ohio and Indiana, and it was arranged
thru the national committee to have
him make an address in St. Paul. The
meeting was advertised, and held in a
small hall seating not more than 400,
and it was not full. All local arrange
ments were made by the state commit
tee, acting with the Ramsey county
committee.
Mr. Cushman last Saturday night adj
dressed 5000 persons in the largest au-
ditorium in Cleveland and he is to
, have meetings Of that type in Toledo.
Columbus, Cincinnati, Indianapolis and
other points in Ohio and Indiana.
Mr.. Tawney says that, experiences
have been had by many of the best
speakers in the party this year. He
thinks it is. due to the feeling which
he says is mistakenly, called apathy.
1T isn't apathy,' he says, "but
definite conviction. The people have
made up their minds how they will vote,
and they don't care for oratory. TO
Illustrates: We made arrangements dur
ing. September to send half a dozen

Minnesota Wins Grand Sweepstakes for
Butter at Worlds Fair.

Minnesota has won the grand sweep
stakes for unsalted and print butter, at
the worlds fair for the fourth success
i've time and this state thus outranks all
the states Of the union in producing fine
butter. This is high honor for butter
makers Of the state as they were COM
peting with the most .skillful dairymen
in New York, Wisconsin and Iowa.
After Minnesota has shown it's SUI
premacy in buttermaking the rival
states sought to have the rules covering
the points in which Minnesota excelled,
amended in way that might give them
advantage. It was also urged that the
the plan suggested would have reduced
Minnesota s high average, but the
Judges decided that the rules were fair
to all and Minnesota still retains it's
rank as the premier butter state Of the
union.
