TIM STORY or ARKANSAS.

Across the wooded border rode
A chevalier OF France,
A ballad on his bearded lips,
A rose upon hts lance.
Behind him came @ pioneer
Who dreamed a golden cream,
And built a cabin in the wids
Beside q muddy stream.
He fought the freshet and the drought
The savage and the beast
The darksone forest shades withdrew.
His garden patch Increased.
For every thistle that he met
Atoms his westward road
Two grains OF wheat aud two OF rye,
And two OF corn he sowed
His name has vanished ike the dew
Before the meruing sun.
But stu his daurtless spirit Ives
In every field he won
lie needs no shaft Of carven stone.
This brave. unse.hsh man.
Arkansas Is his monument,
And match It II YOU can.

DENVER, Jan. 9.-The legislature In
joint session has canvassed the returns
of the state election and declared Alva
Adams elected governor He will be
duly inaugurated tomorrow, and Gov
ernor Peabody will at once enter q
contest, which his friends declare will
result in his favor. This decision was
not reached until after day OF con
tenrion, which at times reached an
acute stage. The conservative Repub

curing one of their chief demands
This was that Adams will not appoint
supreme court Justices until the con
test 10 be instituted by Peabody has
been decided and that If Adams wins
he will appoint the men named by the
Republicans.
There was an exciting contest in the
senate here when the nominations for
judges Of the supreme court made by
Governor Peabody came mp for con
sideration. The Democrats held eau
Gus last night and at its close declared
that they would fight the nominations
to the supreme bench of Bailey and
Goddard with all their power. They
claim, moreover, that with the Rcpub-
lcan senator's, Campbell and Delong.

prevent the confirmation.
The Republican leaders declare that
they have received personal pledges
from enough Republican senator's to in.
sure the confirmation Of the two men
They are not overconfident of the is
sue, however, and admit that there will
be something Of struggle before the
confirmation is received.
II is Governor PeabOdy's present in
tention to contest the election of Gov
ernor Elect Adams. Under the law he
cannot file notice Of contest before TO
day, the fifth day Of the session. He
has several days in which to file his
notice of contest, however. and he may
not do so until after the inauguration
OF Governor Elect Adams.
Inc latter SAID.
II do not know whether Governor
Peabody will make contest or not.

much better position for such a pro-
