GOV. JEFFE RSON DAVIS.

governor, and put the men from the
pillow handles in their places"
For all that, he had well oiled
efficient political machine.
In his second campaign for gov
ernor, Davis wore an OLD white hat
similar to those worn by the resi-
dents Of the districts which he Wis
tied. A pair of home knit white
socks could be plainly seen above
his shoe tops, while fastened dag
onally across his shoulders would
be single suspender strap.
Those city folks down there
won't speak to me-" he would say;
Pm not dressed up enough for
Them" and off the coat would come
and expose the one "gallus."
Sought Vindication.
Before his third term as governor
Governor Davis made a campaign
for vindication, so he styled it. He
had been charged with appropriate
ing part of his contingent fund, al
lowed by the state, to his personal
use. He was arraignei before a
special committee of the legisla
ture. and Impeachment was much
talked Of, but it failed.
Davis has Just closed all the gam
bling houses, pool rooms and Sun
day saloons at Hot Springs, ant
appointed a prosecuting attorney
on the recommendation Of the min
listers of that city, who, he believes
will enforce the law. This followed
a GOODNESS between him and thu
Hot Springs officials, who were TO

ARkANSAW JEFF"
THE PICTURESQUE NEW UNIT.
Eo STATES SENATOR WHOM
THE STATE OF ARKANSAS
SElE CTED BY POPULAR
VOTE.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, April "a
Arkansas is going to send to the
United States senate Governor JEFF
Davis, who is, like Tillman, corn
field lawyer" and proud of it. Staid
old Senator Jas. H. Berry has been
defeated in the state primary, and
Davis nomination by the democra-
tic party is equivalent to election.
He is a politician who fourishes at
close range with a constituency
that depends upon oral, not printed
campaign arguments. He has been
attorney general once and thrice
governor. He is "A years old.
jeff" as he is familiarly known,
knows what turn will please the
class of voters which he wishes to
reach. The absence of an issue is
no bar to him. He is the issue him
self. He always has appealed to the
"back county" farmer and the Ia
borer, playing upon their sympa-
thies and on their prejudices. He
is a good story teller and a man of
great personal magnetism, which
he knows how to employ to advan-
tage. In his campaigns jeff" de-
voted the greater part of his time
to the smaller towns and to the
country districts, for here his
strength lies.
Amounted Himself.
In his first campaign for COVER
nor, Davis devised an appeal to
sympathy which incidentally
proved a great advertis ement for
a proprietary medicine, and he
went through antics that a street
fakir could we'll have copied as an
aid to selling the compound.
Charges of trickery and fraud were
being hurled at him, from which he
claimed he was under great nerv-
Gus straing. He would stop in the
middle of vigorous address, the
perspiration pouring from his face,
and dramatically uncork bottle
and pour the contents down his
back and bosom. He was charged
by his opponents with spending
more money for this medicine than
for his railroad fare in the cam.
paign.
"Hieh collared BOOSTERS"
His recent race for United States
senator was devoid of many of the
picturesque plays which indelibly
impressed his personality upon the
minds of the people Of his native
state.

ELECT THE SENATOR'S,
WRITES GOV. DAVIS
BY Senator-Elect j. Davis.

I am a strong believer in the
principle that United States sena-
tors should be elected, as they are
in this state, by popular vote.
The people ought to select the Of
ficers without the legislature in
senatorial matters. This will give
the poor man a chance.
In the states where this Office is
bought and paid for 1t is only a
question of the amount of money
one is able to spend to get the Of
flee by corrupting the legislature
and the people have no choice in
the matter, since legislatures do not
| always reflect public sentiment oil
the people. These and many other
reasons show that the only right
way is to elect by direct vote Of the
people.

Foley & Co., Chicago, originated
Honey and Tar as throat and lung

VALLEY CITY JURY

For the Second Time the Train

"Blackie'. He May Get Thirty
Years.

Valley City, n. D., Dec. a.
Last evening the jury in the sec
ond case against Corners,
s'Blackie's" partner, returned a
verdict of guilty.
Connors stands convicted of
two charges of robbery commit
ted at Sanborn the night Officer
Personals was killed in this city.
1t is supposed that "Blackie"
and Connors came to this city
after these holdups, for which the
police were watching for them,
and when "Blackie'' alighted
from the train he killed the Off
Ger.
Connor's sentence will prob
ably be for thirty years in the
state pen, unless he tells what be
knows about "Blackie" and the
murder. 1t is believed by the Of
ficials that if a promise is made
of mitigation ofhis sentence that
he will tell what he knows, if he
knows anything.

BANK ROBBER
HOBBIES ON CRUTCHES
Aud Spends Much OF His Time
Reading the Police Gazette
Throws the War Cry to One
Side is Not the Aagle He
Seems to Be.

Robinson. one OF the Sawser
bank robbers, is hobbling about
the county Hospital on crutches.
The cast has been taken from his
leg and he will soon be able to be
removed to the county jail where
he will join his four comrades.
Robinson presents quite a pleas
ant appearance, but after one
has talked with him for some
time, something lacking is MOTTO
ed. While he is quite a reader he
always makes a dive for the pO-
lice Gazette rather than reading
the better class OF Magazines-or
the War Cry. At night he is
closely watched by deputy but
during the day none but the
nurses are to keep tab on him.
He gives no trouble whatever
and is a model prisoner-patient.
He has grown quite chummy
with some of the patients and
has made a number OF friends.
From his conversation with
them, it is learned that he has
long been acquainted with crime
his Sawyerjob being one ofmany.
In the Philippines he performed
same daring robberies but never
met his Waterloo until he arriv-
ep in Imperial Ward. Robinson
is known as the brains of the
Sawyer gang, yet one cannot
disregard Duffy, the old man
who hid in the cold slough in an
endeavor to throw the posse off
his trail. While young Sullivan
states emphatically that it is he
who cracked the Sawyer bank, it
is not generally believed, but
many think that the more ex-
perienced Duffy did the work.

The use OF cigarets affects the
nervous system. 1t weakens the
will power. 1t destroys the abil-
ity Of the boy to resist tempta-
ton. And because Of this, he
easily falls q victim to these hab-
it's which not only destroy the
body, mind and soul, but ire
sistably lead him into a viola
ton of the laws of his state.
For the benefit of those who
abhor printers ink as q prime
factor to the advancement OF
their interests, we should state
that Samson-the strong party

He took two solid columns to

exercise a good deal OF horse

won't have a chance to exercise
it again very soon. People are
getting tired ofpolitical monkey
ing, and they have found out
how to stop it.
The kickers on the farm are
not so hard to get along with as
the kickers in town. On the farm
there is the kicking COW, and our
long cared friend, the mule, while
in town there is the old moss
back who wants all the municip-
al improvements without paying
for them. The COW may be sold
for beef, the mule traded for a
shote IN, but nothing but a full
eral will get rid OF the town
kicker.
Thoughts by the editors wife:
"A man always thinks when he
raises his voice it is time for his
wife to stop arguing. :
When men are sick they want all
the family to stop every thing
else and listen to them groan.
Every woman who has to
get up mornings and build the
fires feels that her husband shows
each time how little he cares for
her, when in fact he is loving her
all the more for it, and just ]y-
ing all euddled up warm, think.
ing what a fine wife he has ont

Considering the reports OF the
coal situation at different places
~ the state, Harvey has been
more than usually fortunate. At
no time has it been impossible
60 get some kind offuel although
for a couple of weeks coal was a
scarce article and a car load
would only last a couple OF hours.
The situation is better now,
though it cannot be- said that
there is an abundance in stock.
The railroad company is giving
fuel the preference now and there
is not likely to be any serious
shortage from now on.
The report comes from Mime
waukan that several cases OF
small pox have broken out in
the county court house, and sew
sral more are reported from the
town. Owing to these cases OF
small pox Judge Cowan has post
poned court for a time. Quite a
large number Of people from all
over the country have been in at
tendance at court and it is hop
ed that there has been no further
spread OF the disease. Altho the
disease is in a mild form and not
very dangerous, yet it is a loath-
some and nasty disease to be
mixed up with. Every person
ought to take every precaution
that the disease does not spread.
