Mr.. p. L. r.. Strauch, that friend of
humanity and especially of the wage
earning native and Portuguese. put in
a full day yesterday. Bright and early
he bought an Advertiser and proceed
ed to warm up over its contents. When
business opened, he had plenty of ex-
planning to do in which he was assist
ed by the eminent financier, George
Markham. Then Mr.. Sedgebeer resign
ed from the directorate. Along in the
afternoon Mr.. Strauch professed to
have received an anonymous letter

alizing who his journalistic friends
were went down the street to the Sign
of the Calf and handed the missive to
the Bulletin. His next known step was
to seek out the Attorney General and
ask him to intercede with the Adver-
tiser to stop the row. Tell Mr.. Thurs
ton" he said, that this whole scheme
of mine is one to turn the natives over
to the Republican party. l can con-
troll the votes of my customers and
when the time comes will swing them
right. Tell Mr.. Thurston that his pa
per, by attacking me, is hurting the
Republican party" The Attorney
General advised Mr.. Strauch to make
his appeal directly to the Advertiser
but nothing came of it. The Home
Builder did, however, approach a re-
porter with the remark.
"Well do l get another blast tomor-
row." IL don't know" was the reply;
there's plenty of material I guess"
"Oh, keep 1t up, keep 1t up!' said Mr..
Strauch with sprightly humor. you

Oysters Don't Breed Disease.

The Frankfurter Zeitung of August
L, 1904, contains correspondence from
Paris stating that last year veritable
campaign was waged against oysters,
which were said to especially transmit
typhus and various other bacilli- The
Journal Officie1 now publishes the re-
port of Prof alfred Giard, in the name
of the sea fishery commission, ap-
pointed by the secretary of the navy,
which clears the oyster of all charges,
and expressly declares that they are
eatable at all seasons, as they cannot
transmit any disease to human beings.

Thincs Animals Know.

''It is a queer thing the way animals

said MT. w. T. Reeves of Little Rock
Il remember as a boy a certain Old
gray mare that belonged to our family,
which one of my older brothers had
ridden the whole time of his service
in the confederate army. She was a
magnificent saddle animal, and ordi-
nariIy as gentle as a lamb, but if any
one ventured to say, when on her
back, look out, the Yankees are COM
irg,' she would proceed to bolt at the
top of her speed as though terror
stricken, and it was a difficult thing
to quiet her down. 1 suppose the
words had in some way been borne
in upon her equine intelligence during
the conflict, and they must have had
some frightful meaning.
