WOMAN WINS "LID" WAR.

One woman has shown what she can do, though against her are com bined the substantial business inter ests and the police force of a town. She has placed the "ld' on Ham mond, Ind, though to bring about this conditoin it was necessary for Governor Hanly to remove the police board of the town.
 Who this energetic woman is re- mains a secret from the citizens of Hamomnd, though she is known to the governor and to one or two of his advisors. So we'll does she stand In the estimation of the chief executive of the state that he has accepted her recommendations in the matter of a new police board-a board which will carry out orders and see that the laws in regard to saloons and dives are obeyed to the letter
 The battle between Governar Haa- ly and the powerful clement in Ham, mond which wished to maintain an "open town dates lack five months At that time the governor wrote to police boards appointed under the
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1905-12-20

metropolitan police act, ask ng that they cooperate with him ill closing the saloons on Sunday and at II o'clock at night. or tender their resis nations.
 It is said that at first Governor Haal. believed the BoHd it Ham mond wa doing is best 10 carry ont bis orders, but he finally came to the conclusion that it was following the dictates of strong bushes intrests.
 Then came q letter signed Only 9 Woman" It was postmarked Ham m0nd, and was directed to the goyer- her, and exposed the conditions in the town as learned by the personal in Vcstioations of the writer. The let ter appealed to the executive to stop the open violations of the law.
 The appeal was eloquently worded and impressed Governor Hanly so strongly that he determined to inyes- tigate. He sent personal friend to f'ammOlG ana Dy some HltIuS lGe.lu- ed the name of the writer of the let ter, and every statement in it was fully substantiated. It also appeared that public sentiment in the city was opposed to law enforcement to the extent claimed by the police board and that if the lid' was to be put cn and kept on a board would have to be selected that was entirely divorced from business interests and business influences.
 The woman who had written the letter was called into consultation and undertook to assist the governor in his dilemma What suggestions she made or whom she recommended is not known, but the governor demand ed the resignation of the old board members and will appoint three men in their stead who are pledged to en- force the law against he saloons re- eardless of local sentiment.

PRESIDENT THEODORE ROOSEVELT is
HERO OF THE PEACE NEGOTIATIONS

that moment to this time the Presi.
dent has been ceaselessly laboring to
unite the discordant elements. He
has conferred with Baron Kaneko at
Oyster Bay, has been in telegraphic
communication with the envoys of
Russia, and has had personal repre-.
sentation at Portsmouth. Through
the State Department he also has
been in direct communication with the
Emperor of Japan and the Car of
Russia. He has invoked and secured
the assistance of England, France,
Germany, Italy and Austria Hungary
in the cause Of peace. and has brought
their powerful influence to bear upon
both the plenipotentiaries here as
we'll as upon their home governments.
The climax came yesterday when two
conferences were held, one at lead
ing hotel in Portsmouth at which
were present Secretary of State Pierce
and Japanese, who, It was said. was
Mr. Sake, the private secretary of
Baron Kaneko, and the other at the
council chamber of the peace ENJOYS
in the navy yard.
At the latter NJ. witte and Baron
Rosen were present. and received ad.
ditional advices from the President.
Their exact mature cannot be quoted,
but that they had an important bear
ing upon the pendinr neeotfations WAS

the Russians, II the Gear would agree
to purchase the entire island at a
price to be agreed upon later.
Russia's attitude has been from the
first determined opposition to the
payment of war indemnity. She has
maintained that she never had in the
past and never would concede that
principle. Shorn Of. all extraneous
subjects upon which the plenipoten-
tiaries of the two belligerent govern
ments have decided and which has ne
cessitated five days adjournment to
enable the respective governments to
meet the issue squarely and harmon
ize their differences or decide to break
of further negotiations; forthwith.
Japan stood out from the beginning
firmly for the adoption of article nine
of her original peace conditions which
referred to the reimbursement of her
war expenditures. But she met a foe
man worthy Of her steel. ~ i
Russia never tbudged. She was
equally as firm in refusing, Japan's de-
mand. Even in the consideration of
other questions this one Of paramount
Importance continually cropped up.
When the last session of the plenipo-
tentiaries came to an end on Friday
last the ENJOYS of the two countries
stood in such an antagonistic attitude
70 each other that 1t was felt that
the end had been reached unless some
powerful outside influence could be
brought to bear. 1t was at this juno.
ture that President Roosevelt stepped
into the breach. Feeling that the diff
ferences between the two countries

Lynch believed was his last strug.

him, striking. scratching, kicking,
swearing. he would destroy all the
enemies that surrounded him. Lynch

away from the maniac's grasp and

"Lunatic in my tower-says he will

The answer quickly came back:

Kennedy said that he had been dis.

NEWARK, N. j.. Aug. 2s.-Escap-
ing from a cage In which she was
confined with her mate. full grown
lioness caused panic among ive thou-

lioness known 70 her keeper as Lou

billions act had come to a prematnrs
finish.
Tourbillon is the feature OF the
week at the Park. The act went on
well until by some accident the rider
was thrown from his wheel, which
fell to the bottom OF the cage among
the lions. He grabbed one Of the ribs
of the structure clambereed out
through small opening and dropped
to the ground. A keeper went into
the cage TO get the wheel. AS he
started to drag II out the lIoness
sprang on his back. He managed to
shake her on. and as he did so an az
sistant opened the door BY which he
had entered. Like flash the lioness
sprang out OF the doorway.
The crowd was in panic In an
instant, while the beast. looking
neither to the right nor left, bound
ed for the west side Of the park.
Many women and children were
roughly handled or were knocked
down and trampled upon. A number
of women tainted and lay on the
ground until they were carried on.
Meanwhile the iioness had hidden
herself in dark space between sew
eral buildings and the high board
fence.
Employees OF the park secured the
neighborhood for guns and pistols
and soon formidable array Of men
with weapons had drawn themselves
up In q semi-circie around the place
where the lioness was known to be.
Once or twice she showed herself
and was greeted with hail OF hui

of this sort she adopted the tactics

having a sublime confidence in the
sincerity of both the Emperors Of
Russia and Japan in their desire for
peace and being backed up by the
