IN the next issiue of the Pica- yune will begin what will be known as the R. F. D. depart ment, which will be conducted by Hon. J. T. Burns, carrier on route No. 3. This department is established by the Picayune upon the request of the carriers, as they believe that much good can be accomplished by the patrons of the rural routes more thoroughly understanding the system. Any patron, or any one else wishing to ask any question for information along that line will address their questions to Picayune, in care of R. F. D. De partment. We bespeak for this department a great deal of inter- est and trust it will be the means of a better rural route service.

HON, H, 5, POWELL.

In this issue of the Picayune will be found the announcement of H. s. Powell, of Ouachita county, for congressman for this, the Eth congressional district. MT. Powell is fairly well known to the people in this part of the state. He stands high in the legal profession, and is prescott ing attorney of the 18th judicial district, which position he has held for two terms; has made himself famous by his dilligent and earnest prosecution of all violators of the law, regardless of their race, color or previous condition; he is generally re- garded as one of the most able prosecuting attorneys in the state. Mir. Powell is a refined, intelligent gentleman, and a very strong, forcible and effective de- batter.
 He was admitted to the bar in Union county, where he lived the most of his life, and afterwards moved to Ouachita county and formed a law partnership with his uncle. Hamp Smead. MT. Powell was raised an orphan boy, but being supplied with a good deal of pluck and energy, and with the assistance of his uncle Hamp, he succeeded in educat- ing himself, and with that bull dog tenacity, which brings into prominence so many poor boys, he soon forced himself to the front rank in his profession.
 We ask for MT. Powell a fair and earnest consideration at the hands of the good democrats of Nevada county, and surround ing country, and should he be elected, no democrat need be ashamed of the ability with which our district will be repre- sented in congress.

Those vino saw anything OF it say that
she toppled over the roof. which is seven
stories up.
The ledge is about a foot and three
quarters wide and about ten feet below
the roof As the woman went over the
edge Of the roof il seemed that her dress
caught on something. She slid down the
side Of the building, landing on the ledge.
In jiffy she was on her feet and an
parently not worried. This was on the
l42d street side OF the building. which
is about 100 feet long. The woman once
on her feet, walked along the ledge to the
corner Of Seventh avenue. Then she
walked back again the length OF the
building
Fireman Simon Quinn stood al the win

the woman TO come along. He grabbed
for her and caught her around the
waist.
Dr Ross who had been summoned
from the Harlem Hospital. said that she
was insane. and took her TO Bellevue.
