THE SUPPLEMENT.

1t IS with a great deal of regret that we again ask the indulgence of the many friends who are inter. ested in our souvenir. We had confidently hoped to and still may issue the same on or before Decem. Der l, but we have been very un. fortunate in securing and keeping proper help in so great an under taking, and are now short two men by reason of unfortunate condi. tons. No one can regret or fec: the expense of this delay as we do, and we promise that it shall be is- sued just as soon as it is possible to do so with our force. In the mean time please be lenient with us, as we are forced to be with others. and we will try and fulfill your greatest expectations.

In Time of Peace,

In the first months of the Russian Japanese war we had a striking ex- ample of the necessity for preparation and the early advantage of those who. so to speak, have shingled their roofs in dry weather" The virtue of prep aration has made history and given to us our greatest men, The individual as well as the nation should be pre- pared for any emergency Are you prepared to successfully combat the first cold you take? A cold can be cured much more quickly when treat ed as soon as 1t has been contracted and before it has become settled in the system. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is famous for its cures of colds and it should be kept at hand ready for instant use. For sale by J :. T. Sanders.

The action of Eden Farmers

The action of Eden Farmers Union in passing resolutions con. demning the practice of candidates for office distributing intoxicating liquor among the voters during the conduct of political campaigns should have the hearty endorse ment of every good citizen of the county, whether a unlon man or not. It is good sign to see the farmers taking up the matter of reform along this line, for it has been clalmed by some that this very practice of sending out whis- key and beer by candidates is de- manded by the country people. We believe this is base misrepre- sentation and would like to hear from any intelligent voter who do. mands such practices by the candi- dates. We believe that the major. ity of the people are for sobriety and morality, but there are some who, when temptation is placed in their way, cannot resist. This class should be protected from those who would take advantage of their weakness for selfish ends. Monroe County Citizen.

S4S6.1O Worth of Altruism.

At Jacksonville, as at Ozark, Attorney General Rogers charged that his note for s4s6.l0, endorsed by Nj. D. l.. Cook and others and assigned to W. c. Faucette's bank in Argenta, was given to Governor Davis on account of Faucette's spite against Rogers, but Governor Davis declares that he bought the note.
 Governor Davis said at Jackson vile that he paid s4s6 10 spot cash for the paper and that he bought il because he had charged that Rogers is the candidate of the "peniten- tiary outfit"
 As the public knows, Governor Davis makes his races for office in part CD the plea that he is poor man. He proudly says that he is the only poor man ever elected governor of this state. Governor Davis-we don't say it to his dis credit-has no investments and no income save what the state pays him. His salary is s30OO year and he is allowed $500 year for house rent. Reckoning these two sums together his salary is approx imateIy S290 a month.
 We bring out these facts to show what lofty patriotism is possessed by Governor Davis. Poor man that he is, he spends the best part of two months salary in order that he may get hold of a financial obligation of a candidate for gov ernor which he may use agains, that candidate. Now if Senator Berry had made this note no one should be greatly surprised at Gov ernor Davis being willing to pay s4s6.1O spot. cash for it, because Governor Davis is trying to suc- ceed Senator Berry. But Governor Davis is not running for governor he is not running against Rogers. Yet he spends s4s6.1O merely to get some campaign thunder against Rogers. But the governor has ex. plained why. Ho fears that the trail of the "penitentiary outfit" is over Rogers, and he is going to hit the trail. Does not man deserve crown from his fellow men when, with battle for the senate on his hands, he is so moved by lofty sense of civic duty that, although poor man, he spends the best part of two months salary in an effort 10 keep out of the governors chair one whom he considers should not sit in it2
 When in the hurly burly of selfish world we come across an altruistic example such as this one we feel like running off a special edition to give the lio to the base belief that politics is a propaganda of personal pelf. It is not in Ark. ansas, not by $4S6 10 spot cash. --Arkapsas Gazette.

Davis, Logan and King.

As was indicated by an article in yesterdays Gazette, it seems that two prominent candidates for gov ernor have been caught in the undertow and drawn beneath the surface of the political waters.
 To speak with brutal plainness, after switching the metaphor. Gov ernor Davis is alleged 10 have "thrown down" ex.Senator King, and it IS further charged that the governor has performed the same operation in the case of Senator Logan.
 Of course this changed aspect of affairs causes talk, since Davis, Logan and King were the Anti Trust Triplets and were supposed to have created, entered into and become members of pool, trust, agreement, combination, confeder- ation and understanding to fl and regulate, in this state and else where, the glory, honor, credit, reputation, merit and renown that might come, follow, flow, result, issue from and appertain to the antitrust act, in this state and else- where. And Governor Davis seemed to be only respecting and carrying out in letter and in spirit this community-of-interest arrange ment when he, right gayly and without allowing the green-eyed monster to show his horrid optical headlights, discussed from the stump the possible per centage of percentage that each member of this political trinity could claim in the matter of the Davis.King-Logan act, although he always wound up by generously admitting that he was tho real father of the legisla- tive child and that Logan and King were merely friends of the family, so to speak.
 The other day MT. King an nounced hls withdrawal from the race for governor and in his card of farewell he said that "the com. blnations are too strong, too deeply entrenched and too closely allied for a man of my limited financial ability to combat" Political wise. acres interpreted these Delphic words to mean that Senator King realized that the lines had been drawn in the race for governor and that he had been left out. He added in his card of withdrawal that his action might be a disap. pointment to his friends and SUD- porters, "but when they under stand the situation as 1 do (many of whom are already udvised) feel sure they will endorse my course" We think the situation n is going to be generally understood before long.

DEFICIT GROWS BY
LEAPS AND BOUNDS
EXCESS OF EXPENDITURES OVER
RECEIPTS FOR PAST NINETEEN
DAYS HAS BEEN s14813, ,384.ao.
PAYMENTS WERE HELD BACK.

Washington. July H.-(Special. )-The
efforts of the officials of the government
to prevent a large deficit for the fiscal
year ended on June 30 last, have re-
suited strangely to Uncle Sans finances,
for in the nineteen days of the new fiscal
year a deficiency has been accumulated
more than half as large as that for the
entire 365 days Immediately preceding
The excess of expenditures over receipts
in the nineteen days was $l4,S13, ,3S4.8O.
The policy of holding back payments
until after the beginning of the new fis-
cal year is calling forth criticism from
persons who think that STAYED off debt
Is part of the deficit whether 1t shows
on the books as such or not. 1t Is con-
tended by these PERSONS and not with
out reason that II debts amounting to,
say five millions which should have been
paid can be held back and showed over
into the next fiscal year. there Is no good
reason, If the practice Is allowed to
gradually extend, why the liquidation of
a debt of fifty million could not be post
poned in the same way.

VESSEL WAS LAUNcED
AT CHESTER IN 1890.

The Bennington was three-mastee
schooner. She was built by N. f. Palmer
6 Co. of Chester, Pa. Her construction
was authorized by Congress on March g.
1887 her keel being laid In June. 1888. She
was launched June 8. 1890. She was COM
mssioned for the first time June 20, 1891
The Bennington's engines were twin
screw horizontal. triple expansion She
attained speed of 17.5 knots on her
trial trip. Her main battery OF four six
FOUNDERS. four one-pounder rapid-fre
guns and two thirty calibre Colts.
The Bennington had four cylindrical
straight-way boilers. commonly called
locomotive gunboat boilers. They were
originally designed to carry l60 pounds
OF steam, but the last log received at the
department shows that the safety valves
were set for 145 pounds. and that she car
ried from 100 to 140 pounds of steam in
cruising The boilers were fifteen years
of age according to records in the de-
partment. but were re-tubed In 10000.
The admiral of the Pacific fleet in Oc-
tober 1904 reported to the navy depart
ment that the boilers were In need of
repairs, but that the repairs were not
urgent. A report from the engineer Of
fcer of the ship. received at the depart
ment about the same time. was that the
iolers generally were In poor condition,
but that the internal conditions of the
boilers were good. A detailed report on
the conditions of the boilers was received
by the department last March. In May
last. the Bennington was sent to the Mare
Island yard when temporary repairs were
made on her boilers to put her in cruis-
Ing condition. 1t is stated at the bu-
reau of steam engineering that there
has been nothing In tho reports coming
to the department to show that the boil
ers were In an unsafe condition.

BALFOUR REMAINS

London, July 22.--It is understood that
Premier Balfour has decided to remain
in office until the end of the session and
to dissolve Parliament In October. NO
authoritative statement, however. will be
made Monday. and in the interval this
decision may be modified.
The crisis has assumed a serious aspect
owing more to the circumstance attending
the defeat Thursday night on the vote
of the support of the Irish land commis-
sion than the intrinsic Importance OF the
vote itself The vote was actually due to
the laxity or to the Indifference of the

the strongest possible whip enforcing the
