ter having instructed the people
how to vote for governor and a
few other offices in Arkansas,
crossed the Father of Waters,
landed in Tennessee, with both
feet and proceeded to take hand
in the politics OF the "Old Volun-
teer State" What he did to red
headed Ned Carmack, who wants
to retain his seat in the United
States senate and is being op-
posed by ex-Gov. Robert l.. Tay-
lor, was certainly an ample suf-
ficiency. He said Carmack is
nothing but high collared
rooster, and that he only awaited
the permission of Gov. Taylor to
60 to Tennessee after the Arkan-
sas primary and challenge the
fiery-headed man 10 joint debate.
He expressed a great desire to
meet Carmack on the stump, and
said he could "show him up"

FOR REPRESENTATIVE,

Our announcement column to-
day carries the name OF j. X.

the democratic party. He has
rendered the party many valuable
services, holding himself in read
mess always to meet its demands

FIND MADE AT THE MOUTH
OF A SEWER.

WHEELING. July 14.-Last evening
as william and p. 3. Hiscock, broth-
Sers, OF bridgeport. were walking
along the bank Of the back river, on
the Island shore, near the Bridgeport
bridge, they discovered the body OF a
still.born female infant The body was
in a fruit box about eighteen inches
square, and the body was laid to one
side with old clothing and newspapers
packed in. It was found at the mouth
of the sewer just below the bridge
and the supposition was that it had
fioated out of the sewer but this could
not be, as the sewer is not large
enough, for the box to pass through.
Harry Youse and brother Chandler,
who live on Zane street near where
the body was found, say that it has
been lying there for some time, as
they have noticed this particular box,
but never investigated it. Their
brother George, while passing this
place on last Sunday afternoon notic-
ed the box, and the odor coming from
1t, and walked over to where it was,
but as 1t was closed he did not hives
tigate.

and discovered the body. The baby
was only few days old apparently.
The police and Coroner Rogers were
Immediately notified and after they
had viewed the remains It was taken
to the palace undertaking establish.
ment, where it was prepared for
burial. The police are investigating.

Mr.. sturgiss will leave for Taylor

be correct in his opinion that he will
carry Preston by so large majority.
there is no question but that he will
also. secure Taylor. However, he
would not need it in that case. for
Preston, with what he already has,
will give him enough delegates to car

the assessor went to this young law
arm and the senior member placed
the value Of the firms library ct s75.
The assessor had assessed other ~
;braries Of the same kind and knew
that this was a very small value and
II that was all 1t was worth that many
OF his books should lie sent to the
crematory, but he knew that the law.
yers were not loaded up with books
of no value. The assessor protested
and the lawyer raised the value to
SIPS and still the assessor would not
take the statement for the basis Of
taxation but left 1t rest for some time
land went back The senior member
stormed around and said that the II
brary was not worth $500, but that he
would not object If 1t were put in
lat $500 and at this valuation the IL
Ebrary was assessed. The value wat
not increased at all but the Times
! says it was raised from $500 to 81 900
and that it was done arbitrarily and
without the consent Of the owners.

think that he has not done anything

erred in any way they are errors Of
commission and not errors OF connie,
