WHlSkFY LOST IN FLAMES.
Court Orders Whiskey That Was Seized in Blind Tiger Town De-
 ,stroyed by Fire.

Philadelphia, Nov. "A. The campaign which Is being waged here against the sale Of intoxi- eating liquor resulted last night in the seizure of a quantity of whiskey, which had been ship ped in by express. The whiskey was consigned to R. L. Pember- ton. It was contained in one barrel and seven cases, all of which were packed in dry goods boxes. The draymen were in the act of unloading the boxes at Pemberton's store when the raid was made by Sheriff Abraham, Marshal Hart and Constable Dooley. The officers broke open the boxes and confiscated the liquor.
 The court Thursday ordered the whiskey burned, and the order was carried out at4 o'clock Thursday afternoon. The burn- ing of the liquor was made the occasion for a big demonstration on the part of the citizens.
 Hundr eds of men and women marched down the street bearing a banner on which was the in- scription, Blind Tigers Must Go; Our Motto Is a Clean Town. v
 The crowd was joined by stu- dents from Henderson and Ouachita colleges.
 The liquor was burned upon the ground where the tent in which Rev. Burk Culpeper has been holding a revival stood.

TO KNOCK OUT CLUB SCHEME.
New That MoOnshiner Has Been Put Out of Business Federal Officers Will
 G0 After Drinking Clubs.

Little Rock, Nov. "A. During the last few years the federal authorities of this and the west ern districts of Arkansas have almost broken up the illicit man. ufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors. A short time since these cases constituted the greater part of the. dockets at each re- : curing term of court, but eter- nal vigilance and the conviction of a number of the offenders has had a salutary influence upon the situation and has wiped out the traffic.
 One scarcely ever hears of an illicit distillery now, whereas not many years ago the choicest bits of newspaper sensations were the frequent raids made upon the crude distillery of the moon- sinner in the hill country. h. cessant raiding has thinned their ranks, and their experiences in the penitentiaries at Leaven- worth and Atlanta apparently have convinced them of the wis dom of getting more corn pones and less white mule" from their corn fields.
 After the manufacture, the illicit sale of intoxicants has next engaged the attention of the au- 1 ,thorities, and there have been several phases of this to be com batted. The work of the boot legger was the most general, and practically all over the state his trade flourished. His saloon was the open, or some back room. and his bar hollow stump or his bootleg. There are still -~Mrmefeas.. convictions of this class of offenders against the revenue laws of the government, but they are not nearly so nu- merous in Arkansas as hereto fore.
 Another evasion of the law was the placing of various prep arations on the market, consist ing principally of intoxicants, but branded as proprietary med ~icines. In many communities these bitters and nostrums were bought at drug stores and drank as regularly as the genuine arti- cle over the bar in a wet" town. 4
 Both the state and federal gov ernments took hand in the sup. pression of the evasive custom, and it, too, is disappearing. The action of the revenue depart ment in requiring retail drug. gists to take out liquor retailers license to handle proprietary medicines is having a salutary influence in overcoming the evil, so the authorities report.
 THE CLUB SCHEME.
 The latest dodge of those whe must have their drams if the heavens fall.'' and which the the authorities are assailing is the "club scheme. For many wears it has been the custom in certain communities of the state if the drinkers to organize a dub of fifteen or twenty, con .@ @tribute twenty-five cents or more to a common fund, which is 7 turned oyer to one man, and he purchases several gallons of whiskey from thesdistiller. The law prohibits the distiller from selling less than five gallons at a time, in the original package. By the means specified, the dis tiller has violated no law, but the authorities hold that the law has been violated by some one and the matter is to be tested.

entered the contest and his an- nouncement appears i'll this issue: Of him and his candidacy his home paper, the Batesville News, says:
 ''Mr. Yancey came to Arkansas and engaged in the practice of law in 1874. He was first asso- ciated with Hon. Ed Mathes in Crittenden county, and in '76 and TT with Col. Bob Crockett in Arkansas county. He located ! in Batesville in 1878, practlclng law alone for several years and then forming a partnership with Col. H. s. Coleman, with whom he practiced a number of years. After dissolving partnership with Col. Coleman Mir. Yancey's prac- tice increased until he felt the need of a partner, and having an application from F. D. Fulker- son of Missouri they formed a partnership, the latter having one-fourth interest in the busi- ness.
 "Mr. Yancey is one of the most energetic and enterprising men who ever lived in the state, and has done more for the develop ment and advancement of the public interest in this section than any man in it. He has always been found in the front rank of any movement for the upbuilding of the country. He was the advocate and chief fac tor in securing the building of the Batesville branch of the Iron Mountain railroad in 1883; or ganized and incorporated the Batesville Telephone Company in 1888, being president of the company for ten years; organ ized and incorporated the Key stone Manganese and Iron Co. at Cushman, being manager and attorney, the employment o1 a large force of men and the ship ment of large quantities of ore resulting therefrom; was one of the leading factors in bringing about the improvement of White river, and brought about the ex- tension of the railroad to Cush- man; promoted and organized the Arkansas Phosphate Co. for manufacture of a fertilizer; was the promoter of the movement to build the railroad up White river, and on invitation of the railroad officials drove the first spike which started the exten- sion of the line which will be one of the most important in the state. He was the prime mover and urged the matter through the city council for. the estab. , lishment of our splendid water and light plant.
 MT. Yancey began the agi' , itation for a federal building ir Batesville when no one believed it could be secured, enlisting the support, by petition and other wise. of the bar and public men in this section, which resulted in the court being located in this } city through a bill introduced in 3 congress by Gen. Neill.
 "He was member of the house 5 of representatives from Inde. 7 pendence county in 1885, being , recognized as one of the strong ! members of that body; was : elected mayor of Batesville in } 1889 without solicitation on his } part, and declining a second 2 term.

The EARLY Us. of skates.

Holland is said to be the home and
birthplace of skating, and without
doubt skating was first pracuced there
and in the far north. In a country Of
lakes and canals the necessity of walk
Ing and running ON ice must have been
felt from the earliest days. In Hol-
land they show the bone skates which
were found in one of the mounds Of
which a Friesland village was built.
The skates were fastened to the feet
by straps passed through holes which
were made in the bones. A Danish
historian mentions the sport in 1884.
The bone skates were also first used in
England. A writer in his account of
the amusements of the yoang people Of
London in the twelfth century men
tons the fact that it was usual for
them to fasten the leg bones of ami
mails under the soles of their feet by
tying them around their ankles; then,
taking a pole shod with Iron, they push
ed themselves forward with great ra-
pidity by striking this pole into the Ice.
