the farmers to purchase the canal
property. The terms OF this

MoccAsINs FOR SOLDIERS.
Inquiries Made by Representatives of Powers at War for "Bangor's
 Golden Slippers"

Inquiries have been recei, d in Bangor, Me, from persons sup posed to reprer ant either the Rus sian or the JaI aese government concerning prices for moccasins in large quantities and the earli- est date of delivery at Atlantic or Pacific ports. It is supposed that the moccasins are wanted for sol diers campaigning in Manchuria. For that purpose they would be eminently suitable, says the New York Sun.
 The mOccasin is the favorite footwear of the lumbermen of Maine, and was first made in Ban gor in 1851. At first only one or two styles were made, but now moccasins are manufactured in great variety, ranging from slip pers for women and children soft as kid and embroidered with beads--to the stout boots and lar. rigans of the Penobscot lumber. men.
 Much of the sewing is still done by hand, being let out by the piece to French Canadian families fin the neighborhood of Bangor. All moccasins are made of a specially prepared leather, rendered gold en yellow by a peculiar process of tanning.
 The common moccasin is not proof against water, but it has room for several pairs of stock ings, and that is strong point in it's favor. For keeping the feet warm and dry in cold weather the moccasin has no equal.
 The greater part of the mocca- sin leather still comes from the place of it's origin, Pawtucket, R. l., although a considerable quantity is tanned in Bangor. Some years ago Bangor men es. tablished factories at Red Wing. Minn., and Racine, Wis.
 The dainty bath slippers, which are not really moccasins, but are made from soft elk skin, are in great demand at home and abroad, and are especially favored by the ladies of Japan, to which country Bangor sends large quantities. It now seems likely that "Bangor's golden slippers" as moccasins are called, may be worn by the con. tending armies in Manchuria.

CRAIGHEApeCoUNTY.

Jonesboro, Sept. 5. The elec- tion has passed off in the city and county quietly, and the indica- tions now are that Jeff Davis has carried the county by good ma- jority, and it is further believed that the county has gone dry. A strong fight was made by both the whisky people and the anti whisky people. The vote boiled was not as large as usual.
 The ladies of the city worked hard to-day to assist in voting out liquor license at each of the polling places. They served free lunches and cold temperance drinks and urged all the voters to vote against license, and it is thought that the. scheme has done much good. Mrs. J. B. Clark and Mrs. k. A. Peterson, assisted by fully one hundred others, did faithful work, and at the first Baptist church there was an all-day prayer meeting going on.

ELECTION RETURNS
 VERY MEAGER.
Page Claims Davis Majority Will Reach 65, ,000-Meyer Gains in Little Rock Amend
 ments in Doubt.

Little Beck, Sept. 6. The bi- ennial election in each of the seventy-fve counties of Arkansas yesterday was for state, county and township officers. Indica- tions are that the total vote in the state exceeds 150,000. Two years ago it was 119, TAI, divided as follows on governor: Davis 77,354, Meyers 29, ,251, Greaves l8,343, Kimball 4,791. Davis plurality in 1902 was AS, 103.
 There was an increased vote in many counties yesterday. In the seven wards of the city of Little Rock the total vote was 3,217, against 1,793 two years ago. Notwithstanding that Meyers ran ahead in several precincts in the city, Davis carries the city and county by a safe majority over the Republican nominee. The early returns are sufficient to justify the statement that there has been no political revo- lution in Arkansas. That the state remains in the Democratic column by a plurality between 10000 and 60,000 is clear from the tenor of the voting as far as reported. The gains credited to Meyers are fully offset by Demo cratic gains in eastern Arkansas. | In Woodruff county, for instance, many negroes voted for Davis and about 90 per cent of the vote cast was for the Democratic nom- inee.
 There was no opposition to the Democratic state ticket, except on governor. In Pulaski county Kavanaugh for sheriff and Mar tin for assessor are elected by large majorities.
 Secretary John H. Page of the 1 Democratic state committee, at 10 o'clock last night estimated that Davis plurality will be 65,. GOO.

JAPAN's FIRST IRoNcLAD.
Her Crew Made Brave Start, But Couldn't Stop Her Till Fires
 Went Out.

That the role of Japan as a mar, itime power is a new one is brought strongly to our notice by recalling the quite we'll authen. ticated story of the first adven ture of the first Japanese iron clad, says Country Life.,
 She was built in England While she was building her crew were also in England practicing in other ironclads how to drive her. When she was finished the Japanese seamen took possession of her, bravely maintaining that they were fully equal to the task of starting her.
 And that, to be sure, they were for she steamed out finely. The trouble only began when she came back to port again. Then, wher they wanted to slow her down and stop her, they were unable to dc so.
 They had to put her out to sea again and go on steaming hel about till her fires went out, hel engines stopped for want oi steam, and she could be lowed in
 From this to having the bes1 mentally-equipped crews, perhaps of any nation seems 2 long step but it has been very rapid one.
