 Rev. E. A. Tabor, editor of the Search-Light, was i'll the city Fri day. He is very much pleased with the vote against license at the last election, but is already armed for the battle two years hence.

 w. ]. Bryan made five min ute stop in Lonoke yesterday and was welcomed by large majority of the towns population, among whom were the four hundred and fifty school children en masse on the cotton platform with hundreds of flags in their hands. His short talk was a tribute to American cit izenship. paying special tribute to her women and the pupils of her public schools. Two magnificent boquets of roses were presented to him; one by Hon. w. P. Fletcher i'll the name of the pupils of the Lonoke Public High School and the other by R. F. Wair, editor of the Ledger. The Lonoke Con- cert Band played several numbers just prior to Bryan's arrival, and an ovation was givenshim by the crowd on his approach, but all remained perfectly quiet during his talk. We trust he will pass this way again.

CLINTON.
From the Journal. Sept. 2.

Hosa Keeling, who at one time ran a Republican newspaper here, was elected clerk of Searcy county, but his Democratic opponent has filed a contest. Itseem that there were some irregularities in Hosa $ home township.
 Sheriff Bradley went to Little Rock Tuesday to take Will Gull lum to the penitentiary. Burt Bradley went along.
 Judge Mitchell came in last Sun day, and Monday morning finish ed up the business of of the court and pulled for home right after dinner.
 The Cullum murder trial was disposed of in short order, we think. Our readers will remember that Will Cullum was indicted for mur der in the first degree, being charged with killing Dr. Ira Dixon last April. Cullum was trying to escape arrest and Dr. Dixon, who was also a constable, was trying to assist Constable Dave Bean arrest him. They followed Cullum to Joel Linn's, near Morganton, where Dixon was killed. Last Monday morning the case was called for trial and after a consul tation of attorneys on both sides 1t was agreed that Cullum should en- ter plea of guilty to murder in the second degree. After hearing the evidence Judge Mitchell sen fenced him to five years in the pen itentiary. This was a complete surprise and there is much unfa- vorable comment.
 Our sympathies go out to MT. and Mrs. William Parish, whose little child died very suddenly last Sunday morning.
 w. H. Bonds brought i'll the first bale of cotton last Monday. Tom Stanley was a close second.
 Mrs. J. H. Rainwater, four miles west of town, died very suddenly Tuesday morning. She had been in her usual health, got up as us ual, got breakfast and had her morning work done up when she took fit of coughing that caused hemorrhage of the lungs from which she died in few minutes.
 B. H. Thompson, one of the most highly respected citizens of this county, passed to the great beyond last Saturday evening about 6 o'clock. His death was not wholly unexpected, as he had been in poor health for a couple of months, yet it will be shock to his many friends in all parts of the county. MT. Thompson was near ly fifty years old and at the time of his death was cashier of the Van Buren County Bank. He served the county one term as clerk and two terms as treasurer, hence was we'll known by the people of the county.

AFTER GOLD, WHAT?

There Is another side to this glitter
ing picture. These 1900 acres around
Oroville, in the orange belt, viii be
ruined (by gold dredging) for all pur-
poses for all time. They Will be
destroyed as effectively as if an earth
quake dropped them into the bowels Of
the earth. The Gould trans-continent-
al line from Salt Lake is pushing is
construction through the Oroville dis
trict Competition for freight traffic
with the Southern Pacific will lower
rates for the fruit growers. and in
crease the productive value of their
land.
l have seen regions in this western
country, far less favored by nature. in
which irrigated land had reached a
value of a thousand dollars ar acre for
fruit growing. 1t is therefore not i'm
possible that the next generation OF
dwellers in the Oroville district NAV
bitterly regret that their fathers sold
their acres 10 the gold dredges.
But the gold-seekers, as has Been
their habit always. think not Of Tho
morrow. They will devour until no
more remains, and then move on to
fresher fields, leaving wreckage in
their wake. Hydraulic mining in Cal
ifornia was at length killed by pro.
cess of law, for the very reasons men
toned. But your gold miner, whether
he tolls at rocker or ground sluice, or
from his offices in New York and San
Francisco, urges his eighty thousand
dollar dredge TO strain for greater O1t
put, reckons not with the future His
viewpoint is somewhat akin TO that OF
the lumberman Of Washington and
Oregon who sweeps through the
primeval forest like whir' wind, and
leaves a vast wreckage behind him

the sooner the quicker IS the motto

BOOSTED RUSK
FOR CORONER
ODD OLD LETTER FOUND BY
COL. MUNSoN.
FROM ANTE-BELLUM DAYS
Letter From First Editor of Bad Ak
County to Governor Randall in
1s5s-Vacancy Reported by Clerk
John r. Casson, Brother of Col.
Henry Casson.
Madison. Feb. I

Madison, Feb. T.
A letter to the governor of Wiscon-
sin. recommending jeremiah NJ. Rusk
for appointment to the Office of coro-
ner OF Bad AK Co. sounds like fairy
tale, but that is just what Col o. G.
Munson discovered while rummaging
in the archives of the executive Of
fee. The old records of the depart
ment are being overhauled and classi-
fed in orderly manner. and this pro-
cess has brought to light many old
letters and documents of interest con-
corning times of which little is now
remembered. This interesting letter
discovered by the private secretary is
yellow with age.
II was written in 1859 by J. A. Somer-
by, editor OF the Vernon County Cen
sor, which paper is now owned by Cv;
Munson. Mr.. Somerby was the first
editor of Bad AK county, afterwards
changed to Vernon county. The let
ter is in reply to one by Governor
A. w. Randall in which the cover.
nor had asked regarding some person
suitable to be appointed as coroner of
Bad AK county to FIJI a vacancy. MI
SOmerby replied that he knew. of a
young man eminently fitted COR the of
fee, jeremiah NJ Rusk He praised
the proposed coroner, saying that he
was of good character and reputation
and man of known integrity
Furthermore. Mr.. Rusk was 1he re-
publican candidate for the Office at
the previous election, and was chosen
by the people for the place, but failed
TO qualify in season, thereby creating
the vacancy. The letter strongly
urged the appointment OF Mr.. Rusk
without delay. Filed away with this
letter in the archives was a formal
communication from John r. Casson,
clerk of the circuit court of Bad AK
county. informing the governor of the
existence of the vacancy in the office
of coroner. There seems TO have
existed in those wild frontier days
some pressing need for the services
OF coroner, as CLERK CaSSOn APP
pended to the formal notice a note in
he said, Please make this appoint
ment without delay at your earliest
convenience"
Mr.. Casson later went to the civil
war in Col Rusks celebrated twenty,
fifth Wisconsin regiment OF infantry,
served through the war and came
home as a captain. He became county
clerk of Bad AK county and served in
that office continuously for q years,
until he died. He was brother of
Col. Henry Casson of Madison, former
]y secretary of state and now ser
geant-at-arms of the national house
of representatives.
Col Munson remarks upon this in
cident as the meager beginning Of a
great man in politics, Mr.. Rusk hav-
liz become governor of the state for
three terms. member of congress and
secretary of agriculture in the cabi-
net of the president of the United
States.
