TWO MOST CURIOUS LAKES.
One In Asia Has Water Of Rose Color
Another is OF Pitch.


Another Is OF Pitch.
In central Asia. near the Caspian
sea. is a lake OF beautiful rose color.
while the banks are covered with salt
crystals as white as snow. From tho
waters of this lake there arises a
iowerlike odor The color and the
odor are supposed 10 be caused by
vegetable matter in the depths.
one Of the most singular lakes In
the world Is the celebrated Pitch lake
OF the island OF Trinidad This lake
spreads over an area OF nincty.nine
acres and is surface Is composed OF
one great floating mas OF asphaltum,
scanned with veins OF clear water.
There Is a similar lake In Venezuela.
The pitch lake Is n hleOus place as
far as smells are concerned. for the
air all about II h. heavy with noxious
vapors, and from theYccnter OF the
lake gushes a fountain OF iiquld as

Of this lake and cut sri slabs ~ as

THE DAYS OF POLITICAL BOSSES
 PASSING AWAY.

The elections held the first of this month shows conclusively
 that machine politics and politi- cal bosses have seen their best days. The independence of the people is asserting itself, and the dictator is no longer feared or respected. The machine politics failed in Ohio, in Boston, in Phil
 adelphia, to q certain extent in New York. and was swept clean off the cheeker-board in Mem
 phis. When the people do wake up they generally wake up in earnest, and then, to use com
 mon phrase, something IS go- ing to drop The beginning of the reformation was begun by
 Folk, of Missouri, and 1t has
 been spreading, until now it is
 about ready to sweep the entire country. The people are doing
 a little thinking for themselves and do not take kindly to the
 dictation of any man. The indi-
 vidual, in this day and genera ton, who assumes to dictate to
 the voter for whom he shall
 vote and how he shall vote, is treading on dangerous ground; and before he knows it he is, by his own brazen affrontery, hoist sky-high. In this country there should be no political bosses,
 and the people now seem deter
 mined that there shall be none.

Captain Richard Preston Starts Back

Tomorrow morning Capt. Richard Preston will leave for St. Louis by way of Cairo and proceed onsto San Francisco, Cal. where the 18th of this month he sails for the Philippine Island to resume his du. ties as captain of the constabulary forces that patrol that distant pos sion of the United States.
 Captian Preston has been in this country for several months now on leave of absence and during that time has spent many weeks there visiting his sister, Mrs. Frank Co. burn, wife of the well known Hi. nois Central conductor running be tween Cairo this City and Hopkins vile. He ranks as one of the most proficient and excellent of the con stabulary forces, and his atfable and unusually genial traits have made warm friends of all met here, there fore his departure IS a matter of re gret by his many acquaintances It takes him nearly one month after he leaves San Francisco to reach hi discrimination, he having to toucl Japan, China and other foreigf lands on his ship before he gets t the islands.

The Missouri plan of working public roads is with wooden drag. made of two split logs. It is claimed that this drag will keep the common dirt roads in good repair, if run over them once asmonth, and it costs but little to do this, as the cost will not exceed $20O per mile. The drag IS run so as to draw the earth to the center of the road, thus raising that portion of it, so 1t will drain off. It is easy enough to try this plan. It may do the work.

Hon. l. Bernhardt.

The gentleman whose picture and name heads this article is q candidate for State Senator from the 17th Senatorial District, com posed of the counties of Drew and Desha. Mir Bernhardt is lawyer ofemarked ability, and a gentleman of high literary attainments. He is the editor O. the Dumas News. and as such editor, has proven himself an able. fearless and hon orable exponent of the rights of the people. Perhaps there is not d man in the District better qualified to make fit representative than Mr. Bernhardt, since in him Is combined both the legal and liter ary qualifications which are essen- tial to a position of this dignity and importance. He has been a resident of Desha county for many years and IS thoroughly acquaint= ed with the wants and needs of the District and being, in every re spect. a broad guage man 1t is safe to assume that as Senator he would give perfect satisfaction
 We bespeak for him the candid and earnest consideration of the voters who are to pass upon his claims.
The Monticellonian., 1905-11-16


 Senator Berry Is making a can vass alone and is telling the people of the things he has done since he has been United States Senator, say, some quarter of century, Pine Bluff Commercial.
 It is not necessary for Senator Berry to tell the people what he has done. For quarter of century he has represented Arkansas in the United States Senate, or the minority side, and he has had but little opportunity to do much for his own portion of the United States because such bills as he would in. troduce that government money might be spent in Arkansas would be killed promptly by the over whelming Republican majority. Notwithstanding this fact, Senator James Il. berry has done world of good for the Democratic party and the National welfare. An other thing we can say for him which can be said of few men who have been in public life as long us he has is. that not the least taint of dishonesty, corruption or scandal has ever been coupled with the name of Senator James H. Berry. Even that brazen-faeed demagogue, Jeff Davis, admits the honesty and integrity of Senator Berry, All honor to the noble old Confederate May he continue to represent our state in the United States Senate as long as he deems he is qualified to discharge the duties thereof. The editor of the Commercial has told the people how he stood on the
