MUDDY STREETS
OFFER CHANGE FOR colINeu MEN TO INSCRIBE NAME ON
 ROLLS OF ETERNAL FAME.
The Old, Old Story Repeated in This Latest Contribution to Aecumu.
 lated Protests.

Many caustic comments on the con- dition of the streets and crossings in the city have been heard since the recent rain from pedestrians who lre day. The condition of nearly every corner in the business district has caused some severe criticism of that department of the city government. which is supposed to look after tue streets.
 There Is not a corner in the down toan district where conditions could not te improved, and there are some where it is almost impossible to ge4 across the street without going ankle deep in mud On the corner of Fourti. and Main the middle of the street is where the mud is from two to five inches deep. At Third and Main the same conditions exist, although it is not quite SO bad there on account of there being a few isolated stepping. stones on which a good broad.iumper and equilibrist can cross without be- ing in much fear of drowning, but Where woman or child is totally un- able to keep from getting their shoes and lower clothing besmirched with mud.
 These conditions could be reme- died very easily and one man a day could keep all these crossings fin tolerable condition. Armed with stiff broom he could make the rounds of the downtown district where the traffic in the street is heaviest and keep the mud swept off the crossings so that pedestrians would not be in imminent danger of drowning should they happen to lose their balance and fall. Thursday the jail was full oe prisoners who could have been put on the streets for two hours and clean ed every crossing in the business dis trict
 Pine Bluff cannot afford, when SO htany strangers are coming in daily. to allow it's streets to remain in this condition. First impressions are al- ways strongest and most lasting. and fhe stranger who alights from train at either the Iron Mountain or Cotton Belt depots thinks, "Veriy, I have come to the jumping-off place." His ffst impression of Pine Bluff is nee. essarily bad one, and Pine Bluff does not deserve, with her brilliant prospects, to have her development re. farded by street conditions that would be disgrace to the slums of London. The city fathers can make a hit with their constituents by making provis ion for a partial cleasing, at least. of the streets during rain-storm when conditions are most unbearable.

Showing some material losses over the strength he displayed in the pri- mary of 1904. Governor Davis chances for victory over Senator Berry were considerably lessened by the returns received yesterday. His lead in the early returns was wiped out and Sen- ator Ber1y's vote made such a show ing in some of the former Davis strongholds that there was brought in to prominence during the day the prospect of a very close finish, with a narrow margin for the winner
 Governor Davis material losses ovr the vote he received at the 1904 primary are in such counties as Greene. Howard. Nevada, Benton, Washington and Jackson.
 In a group of 33 counties in which Governor Davis had two years ago 7.2O0 majority over Hon. Carroll D. Wood, the same counties now give se~ator Berry lead of S14 over Gov ernor Davis These returns are in part official and in part based upon Incomplete but reliable returns and estimates.

MAY ANNEX CUBA.
Question Arises as to Intentions of
United States.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.--Is there to
be a new State, Cuba, in the United
States? Close observers of the situa-
ton express their belief that this coun-
try will be expected to mix In the Gu
ban disturbances in the near future.
The Cuban situation Is the only cloud
on the diplomatic horizon at present,
and yesterday Acting Secretary Bacon
of the State Department went to his
Long Island home, from which place
he will go to consult with the Presi-
dent at Oyster Bay. The conference
may relate to the Cuban situation.
1t is said on good authority that the
administration Cubans fear to call on
this country for aid because they hesi-
tate to give the United States the
temptation of annexing their land, a
temptation which would surely present
itself IL this country were In control
of Cuba and a popular outcry should
insist on a prevention of further blood
shed.
The United States and President
Palma are not on the best of terms,
and this country has viewed with dis
pleasure the steps the Cuban Govern
ment has taken to ingratiate itself
with England. VI
If the Platt amendment gives the
United States the right TO interfere
with island affairs and put things on
a safe basis at any time, this seems to
be the time, for 1t Is evident the Cuban
Government is in embarrassing straits

sentence of Premier Stolypin that he
had tried to execute. The police re-
fuse to make public the document.
CAUSES TREMENDOUS SENSATION.
The tragedy created a tremendous
sensation here and extra editions of
the newspapers were sold in the
streets until midnight. In the clubs
where officials and officers gather the
most intense inc G-gnation prevailed, and
the prediction was freely made that
the reyolutionists would pay dearly
for such senseless crimes. 1t is be-
lieved the only effect would be to drive
DDS Of repression.
From information obtained from
revolutionary sources 1t IS certain that
the crime was committed by the fight
Ing organization of the Social Revolu
tionists in retaliation for the war
which the Government has been wag-
Ing against them. Since M. Stolypins
accession to the premiership over 1000
OF their members have been arrested,
400 In ST Petersburg alone, and many
of these have been deported.
DEED OF FIGHTING SOCIALISTS.
To fight this crusade the fighting
organization which is composed of a
wing known as Matimists and who be-
lieve in setting up a purely socialistic
state upon the ruins of the autocracy,
have deliberately entered upon a duel
with the Government such that
which characterized the famous fight of
the Nihi1ists in the late 70's and which
ended in the assassination of Emperor
Alexander II.
Emperor Nicholas was apprised of
today's disaster and sent his personal
congratulations to Premier Stolypin on
his escape, and the Cabinet Ministers
and many members of the diplomatic
corps, including Mr.. Eddy, the Ameri-
can charge daffaires, rendered express
sions of sympathy.
News received here from Peterhof is
to the effect that feeling runs high
against the revolutionaries in court
circles.

When a medicine has once made a
cure in a family no persuasion or argu-

which such an experience inspires.

and then has turned 10 Peruna as a
last resort and realized immediate BEN
eft and finally a lasting cure-after
such thing has happened a lasting
faith in the virtue of the remedy is
the result
1t ought to be so, too. The reputa-
tion of Peruna is built upon a solid
foundation of public confidence.
People have tried il, been relieved

OYSTER BAY, L. l., Aug. 25.-Pr,ei-
dent Roosevelt today issued procla-
nation appealing for aid for earth
quake stricken Chile. The proclama-
tion was issued after a consultation
with Acting Secretary of State Bacon
at Sycamore Hill today. The procla-
nation reads:
"A dreadful calamity has befallen
our sister republic of Chile in the de-
struction by earthquake of Valparaiso
and other localities. We of this mo-
ment see the city of San Francisco
struggling upward from the ruins in
which like catastrophe overwhelmed
her last spring. We keep keenly in
mind that half of the appreciation we
then felt for the way In which the peo-
pie of Europe, Asia and both Americas
came forward with generous offers of
assistance. In this time of woe of our
sister republic, l ask that our people
ought of their abundance now strive to
do to another as others last spring did
to US. The National Red Cross Associa-
tion has already taken measures to
collect any subscriptions that may be
offered for this purpose and 1 trust
that there will be a general response.

LONDON. Aug. 25.--An amusing
story is being told here about a letter
which awaited King Edwards arrival
at Marienbad-one rlissive of many for
the royal perusal. This letter. as the
story goes, was from an American
woman, whose name was not signed to
it. But between the lines it appeared.
falsely however. that it was written
by a near relative or Miss Matiide
Townsend. This charming young wo-
mans maternal grandfather was Con-
gresham Scott of Erie, U. S. A, and
her father Richard Townsend, one Of
the Hebertons of Philadelphia.
By. whomever written the writer
asked his gracious Majestytif he would
salute the young woman any morning
he chanced to be walking near the
springs. She wrote that she would
never forget such a proof of his favor,
and naively she described her personals
appearance and the gown she would
wear for Identification. The King was
highly amused. but carried out her re-
quest.

LPARA|sO' s LOSS

Secretary Root on Way
to Extend Coincidence
to the Stricken Nation
IS NEAR

SANTIAGO, Chile, Aug. pa con-
servative estimate places the property
loss at Valparaiso as result of the
earthquake and fires. at 5000, ,0O0. 600.
The loss in the rural districts will be
immense, not only the residences OF
the landed proprietors but the huts of
the laborers have been completely de-
stroyed.
Heavy rains are still falling at Val
paraiso, making the misery still
greater. Donations for the relief of
the sufferers are arriving here from
all parts of the world.
Some idea of the state of affairs eX-
listing can be formed from the fact
that a man rode on horseback from
Valparaiso to Santiago, a distance OF
eighty miles, and could not obtain food
or drink for himself or horse during
the entire distance, owing to the
desolation prevailing.
The United States cruiser Charleston,
with Secretary Root on board, has ar
rived at Punta Arenas, Straits of Ma
gellan. The Charleston will reach Lota,
800 miles south of Valparaiso. August
29, where Secretary Root will be re-
ceived by the Chilean Foreign Minis
ter and the American Minister, Mr.
Hicks. The Minister will go to Lota
on a Chilean cruiser. great recep-
tion had been planned here for Mr.
HOOt, Dut ali the pIanS were ClldASS GU
as a result of the earthquake. The
Secretary is expected to arrive at Val
paraiso about September 8. His recep-
ton there will be informal and he will
come to Santiago to extend his per-
sonal coincidence to President Riesco.
VALPARAISO, Aug. 25.-The Minis
ter of the Interior has sent the fol-
lowing dispatch to President Riesco at
