NEGRO PREACHER ASSAS SINATED
lust as He Arose From Prayer ASsaSsin'S Bullet Cuts
 Him Down.

Particulars of diabolical assasSina- tion reached town Wednesday from Rawlison, q postotlice. twenty miles southeast of Forrest City. on French man bayou.
 It seems that about year ago three or four ''sapctitied" negroes from Ten nessee or Mississippi came to that neighborhood, among them being a preacher named Kinch Nangum. Ap- plication was made to the resident negroes for permission to use their church, and this was very positively denied the newcomers.
 Bad feelings among the negroes was engendered. and later the ''Sanctitied' cOonS secured d tent and have since been holding their meetings therein.
 The tent was erected on the Crowder place at the intersection of the roads and adjoining the Ashworth place, and was set back just few feet in- side the fence
 On last Tuesday night Mangum and his followers were worshipplng in their tent, and he had just finished a characteristic negro prayer and risen from his knees and sat down on a bench. when d pistol shot rang out upon the stiffness, and Mangum fell dead
 There is no clue whatever to the Identity of the cowardly assassin. The shot came from the road, or perhaps near the tent, and it would seem to have been random shot, though the assassin might have located the preacher either by peeping into the tent or by his voice as it was lifted to the throne of heaven in prayer.
 IL happened about eight o'clock at night.
 The other negroes present did not wait to have an inquest held, but started at once for Forrest City with the remains.

The ZemStV0S.

During the last year much has
been written about the interior
disorders in Russia. Among var
ious dissatisfied humanity the
Zen,stvos take a prominent part
and it would be of interest to
know something about that insti-
tuition. The word Zemstvos
means land class, what we would
simply call farmers party. Those
residing in the remote districts
had little opportunity to be heard,
and 1t became their desire to OBJ
tain certain privileges, which were
generally denied by despot-
ic monarch. The Zemstvos were
formed in 1864. The law, which
created them read, that with the
initiation of this reform founda-
ton for perfect self-government
was to be laid; also, to eventually
put into force their hopes for lib
erty and bring to fruitful end
their endeavors for independence
of speech and constitutional
rights. The last clause was point
ed towards move to obtain a con-
stitution, which clause became the
topic of lively discussion in the
early sixties. A correspondent OF
a German paper states, that the
Russian government only intended
to grant certain rights; among
them the regulation of county tax
es, county schools and the care
taking of the poor in their
respective districts only.
But as no agreement whatever
was sufficient to satisfy both par
ties, serious clashes we're the i'm
mediate outcome. The aristocracy,
of course, had the greater power.
It Jared badly with the Zemstvos,
who grew more disconnected day
by day. Besides the mobiles, other
opposition arrayed themselves
against the country class, even dur
ing elections the powerful force OF
the emperor's hand was felt.
Everything was done to break the
given promises and nothing was
left undone to break the spirit OF
liberty. Most of the grants were
Withdrawn.
In 1890 the Russian govern
ment inaugurated general clean
up among the Zemstvos delegates.
Rich men, mobiles and heartless
hirelings bought up votes; instead
of electing their own kind, the
farmer party cast their ballots in
favor of false friends, who proved
to be members of the aristocracy
and, Of course, opposition. When
delegates met for roll call, only

Stories of knowledge lies secreted
Deep within the paths untrod,
Willing hands are daily striving
To uproot, and turn the sod.
Genius daily is now treading
Paths that man ne'er trod before.
And revealing hidden treasures;
Offering the world its store.
Do not think the gateway fastened.
Opened only unto few,
Touch the spring and it may open
With flood of light, to you.
Paths there are that all may open,
Still untrodden, nigh at hand;
1t will take faith to unfold them
With ambitions embers famed.
Those who grOpe fOre'er in darkness,
And pass by with blinded sight,
Never can attain their object,
And succeed without the light.

Rugged, steep, and hard to climb
If undaunted perseverance,

Few men can paint great pictures
That speak through eye to soul;
Few men can write true poems,
nations thought control:
Few men compose grand music
That speaks through ear to heart:
For God ne'er grants to many
To give their days to art.
But lives may be so holy
That he who sees them. reads
such lines as make great poems,
The greatness of high deeds,
And they may be so lovely
That they like pictures shine,
And pulsate with the concord
OF harmony divine. e

A STEP FURTHER.

From present indications it is
reasonable to presume that the
freight rates of the various rail-
roads and transportation compa-
MES of the country will be, in the
near future, regulated by national
legislation. This seems to be
quite right as many transportation
companies are now earning a
greater income than their cost
Justly warrants, and rates should
be reduced when they are burden
some to degree detrimental to
the prosperity of the country.
These companies are the natural
opponents to this proposed legls-
lation and will, so far as they can,
secure the assistance of their en-
ployees to make demonstrations
against it by declaring that re-
duction of rates will result in a
decrease in wages. It is not the
intention to reduce the freight
rates SO that the wage scale need
be cut, and no one fears any such
results; yet, if they cannot defeat
this measure they may use it as a
pretext and cause the labor unions
trouble.
Now if it is equitable and just to
regulate the freight rates by legis-
lation, why not go step further
and regulate wages by the same
method? The one appears as fea-
sible as the other. The Unions by
strenuous efforts and no little ex-
pense, have partly succeeded in
maintaining a fairly respectable
standard of wages. And it is no
cause for wonder that they are
unable to attain the full ends to
which they 50 justly aspire,
since they are compelled to battle
alone with powerful corporations
whose inflated revenues are not
used to pay higher wages to en-
ployees, but are disposed of in other
directions and on different objects
without aid or recognition of
any consequence from legislatures
and are often handicapped by
court injunctions. Labor, IN fost-
ering unions, which are created
for the protection of wage earners,
is put, necessarily, to consider
able expense that could be greatly
reduced if national legislation
would perform the same or SINH
lar Office that is proposed for other
interests. The general public al
so would be greatly benefited for
this policy would effectually elm
mate boycotts, lockouts, strikes
and many other grievances that
are, from time to time, trust upon
the people. It is also reasonable
to suppose that moral benefit
would accrue; for the laboring
man, as voter, would select for
his representative men OF sterling
worth and undoubted integrity,
knowing that his own welfare de-
pended, in a great measure, on the
, election to Office of just such men,
: and perhaps we would be near the
time of the federation ofman-the
| parliament of the world"

says: "To this center come the
herds and focks of the great
western plains, at the rate of fifty
thousand animals every day of the
year, and thus Chicago becomes
the greatest packing center OF the
world, handling three-f ourths of the

Chicago are grain elevators so
many and so large that the vast
grain product of the West never
gluts them, altho it flows in un-

history is similar in many
respects to that Of numerous
other towns. The first white set
tier appeared at an early date and
was soon followed by others. The
Indians were dispossessed OF their
lands in the usual manner and
they retaliated by massacre.
The town grew rapidly-so have
others. When the Civil War
broke out they were quick to re-
spond, Just as numberless other
towns. Some years later with the
assistance of a cow and a lantern
the town burned up, this being its
first historical event of any impor-
lance. We have seen numerous
other towns achieve fame in sim
gle night on the same basis.
Then came the Worlds Fair.
Chicago grew apace, in common
with the section Of our country
known as the Middle West, until
its inhabitants now number two
millions, and in area it spreads
over plain twenty miles north
and south by ten miles east and
west. Its commerce is vast, This
great plain is but slightly elevated
above the expanse of water on
which it verges and contains
scarcely grade. The distinguish
ing features are few, and with
the exception of the Masonic
Temple and the Auditorium tow
er, there is nothing to relieve the
monotony.
The approach from the lake is
best As you come in that way
the long reach of shore lifts itself
slightly from the water line, with
low heap in the middle, where
you presently begin to make out
q dark cluster of buildings. To
the north is Lincoln Park with it's
fine grounds, while jackson Park
lies in a southerly direction.
If you approach by rail from the
west the first thing to attract your
attention is the smoke cloud, but
presently you lose this by pene-
trating it. You are carried by
charming suburbs followed by
some miles of backs of fats. Also
there are factories, warehouses,
and numerous frame shanties the
latter in all stages of dilapidation.
Suddenly the train stops and you
find yourself in town.
The chances are that you don't
like it. The elevated trains roar
over your head. Street Car gongs
are ringing continually, but the
cars never seem to be moving, for
you may see blockade of them

drifts down over you making you
cough and shut your eyes. The
buildings are all dingy. If it has

termined opposition will be presented
by the section that objects to the
course taken by the Governor during
the recent election.
In this event the opinion generally
entertained is that the warning ele-
ments may and probably will come
together on Henry e. Cooper and pre-
sent an unbro5on front in endorsing
his name for the Governorship.
Cooper is not acceptable to the
