WILD BEASTS IN CALIFORNIA.
Dynamiters Drive Them From Noun

Wild beasts-California lions, Wild
cats. lynx, etc-are very numerous in
the vicinity Of French creek and in
fact, all along the ridge, says the Sa-
cramento Bee. These animals are sup
posed to have been driven out of their
nearly inaccessible canons, where they
have been practically undisturbed for
years past, by the invasion of the
thousands of railroad men and the
noise of the continued explosion of
hundreds of tons of dynamite. They
have sought shelter nearer the con-
fines of civilization.
So bold have the animals become

A MAN OF DISTINCTION.
Severe Test to Prove Efficiency OF
Mail Service.

Mail Service.
When is a man distinguished
What is the test? The question was
under discussion not long ago at the
Players Club, New York, and Prof
Brander Matthews ventured that II
was when a stamped envelope with
only a mans name on 1t and no fur
ther address would be delivered tc
wherever he happened to be.
THAT seems a pretty severe test,
said Francis Wilson, the actor Nov
should call Mark Twain a distin'
guished man, but he's travelling some
where in Europe, and although I'm
good friend of his. I do not know how
to address him. I don't believe sucf
letter would reach him. 1t would
go to the dead letter office"
"Well, you don't know him any bet
ter than I do," replied Professor
Matthews, land I don't know where
he is, either; but 1 believe that a let
ter addressed to Mark Twain, None
Knows Where would reach Clemens
and bring an answer"
The comedian was delighted at the
notion, and going to a writing-table
he addressed an envelope in accord
ance with Professor Matthews sug
gestion. A five cents stamp was af
fixed, so that the message would b'
carried anywhere within the limits oI
the postal union, and then between
them they composed a letter explain

RUssIA's GUARDED SEcRETs.-One
of the secret processes which has for
ages openly defied the world Of science
Is the iron trade Of Russia. The Sc
cret Of making Russian sheet iron is
owned by the government, and when
workman enters the service, he bids
a last farewell to his family and friends
and whether he lives or dies all trace
Of him is forever lost. There have
been several desperate attempts made
to steal or betray the secret, but In
every instance 1t has resulted In the
death of the would-be traitor. In one
case a letter attached to kite, which
was allowed to escape, was picked up
by some peasants, and despite their
protestations that they were unable to
read, they were at once put to death
by the guards to whom they delivered
the letter. It was afterward decreed
that the guards themselves should pass
their lives within the works, and to
this day the secret remains as hidden
as the philosophers stone.-Exchange.

STATE FAIR A BIG SUCCESS
Number of Admissions Encourages
Preparations For Next Year

Hot Springs, Oct. 20-The Ar
kansas State Fair Association is
already laying plans for next
year. President S. r. Jackson
and Manager Ray Gill are closing
up the accounts of the recent fair
and are making contracts for the
next one.
The records of the Arkansas
management show that more than
rs, 900 paid admissions were had
to the fair during the ten days.
The management believed that the
admissions would amount to TO-
900 per day, and but for the ex-
tremely bad weather the first four
days this would have been greatly
exceeded.
President S. r. jackson has
made the statement that the asso-
citation will come out little ahead
and adds that taking the fact that
this is the first thing of the kind
attempted, the showing is most
satisfactory.
The books of the company will
be ready for the executive com
mittee Monday week and the an
nual meeting of the stockholders
will occur in Hot Springs early in
December, at which time officers
will be elected.

REPEAL 18TH AMENDMENT
Governor of Mississippi Advocates
That for Settling Race Problem

Announcement of u carefully
planned campaign to secure the
repeal of the fifteenth amendment
of the constitution that gives the
negro equality with the white man
as citizen was made by Cover
nor Vardaman of Mississippi, who
was in Chicago recently attending
the railway surgeons convention.
Governor Yardaman, who is
seeking election to the United
States senate, declared that if be
won a membership in the upper
house Of congress, he would make
his fight on the floor of that body
believing that he had the support
of the entire South.
He insisted that crises in the
relation of the races in the South.

problem of white supremacy or
black dominion should be settled
at once.
Il favor unqualifiedly and with
out reserve the abrogation of the
fifteenth amendment to to the con-
stitution, said Governor Varda
man, and it is my hope through
the United States senate to demon
strate to the nation that there is
only one practical way of settling
this matter, and that is by plainly
showing the negro his proper
place in our system of govern
ment.

WOMEN IN POLITICS

1t ~ said that the women's clubs
of Little Rock are going to take
an active interest in the coming
municipal election in that city. A
leader in the Daughters of the
American Revolution made the
statement that the candidates for
mayor will be asked to express
themselves upon a number of mat
tiers This lady said: We ladies
can not vote, but there are some
things we want done, and others
we do not want done, and we can
accomplish great deal with our
husbands, and we intend to see
that our wants are Mt least given
some consideration -
This statement is considered to
indicate that the women's clubs,
or at least part of them, will de-
mand that the candidates will be
asked to put in writing their opin-
ions regarding certain measures in
which they are specially inter-
ested.
The ladies of Little Rock have
heretofore taken no part in poll
tics and the outcome of this new
departure will be watched with
special interest.

OVER RULES THE SUPREME COURT
Jeff Davis Continues to
Fill Vacancies in Office by
appointment

Despite the decision of the SUI
preme Court declaring that the
amendment to the state constitu-
ton authorizing the governor to
fill vacancies in Office by appoint
ment, was not legally adopted,
Governor Davis has made an APP
pointment to fill the unexpired
term of county official The ap-
pointment is that of Roland Rob-
erts of Hoxie to succeed n. f..
Judkins, county treasurer, who
died last week. ,IudkinS was re-
Gently re elected to the office and
would have entered on his new
term November /
The appointment by Gov. Davis
to fill the vacancy, caused consid-
cradle comment owing to the re-
cent decision of the Supreme
Court, to the effect that the gov
ernor has no power to appoint to
ill vacancies in county Offices ex-
cept within six months before the
general election. The decision
knocked out the clause of the act
of the legislature making provis-
ion for appointments and leaves
the clause of the constitution stand
as law in this matter The law
provides that in cases of this char
acter a special election shall be
called and the vacancy filled by
election.

science has been able to cure in all

acting directly upon the blood and
mucuous surface of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation
of the disease, and giving the pa
