LEAPS FROM STAND.
COylnetOn Attempts Personal Encounter
 With Attorney James A. Gray.

Trembling in every muscle, with passion showing in his face, former Senator, A. w. Coving- ton, leaped from the witness yesterday afternoon and made for Attorney James A. Gray of counsel for the prosecution as if he intended to do him bodily violence. Counsel on both sides leaped to their feet and Attor- ncy Lewis of counsel for defense stepped between Covington and the table at which Gray was standing. In moment Deputy Sheriff Al Chichester had made his way through the crowd and had led Covington back to the stand.
 The trouble started after Gov ington had made some state ments relative to Mr. Gray's at titude and vote on the fellow servant bill. Covington related that Gray was the author of the bill. Gray, he said, was the chairman of the Judiciary Com mittee and the bill had been re- ferred to that committee. The bill came up for consideration, and Senator Moore, now acting governor, made a motion that the bill be passed. II so put the motion" .said Covington, and it stood on a divided vote. When the revote was cast he (Gray) voted against it in order to allow Ed Williams to argue against the bill.
 Attorney Gray jumped to his feet, shouting time after time, Tell it all Tell it all. Tell it all Tell the truth about it."
 I have told the truth about it; that's the first lesson 1 learned at my mothers knee, said Gov ington
 That's all right about what you learned at your mothers knee, but you have departed from your early training" Gray re- torted.
 Judge Lee with sharp rap of his gayel restored order tenn porarily and admonished counsel ana the witness to refrain from personalities.
 Mr. Moore addressed the court and said he had no objec- tion to Covington telling every thing that happened, but that he should not refer to him person. ally. T don't want to testify" said MT. Gray, and the senator knows it-he is lawyer enough to know that I do not want to testify and he knows better than to point his finger at me and state something that is not true"
 II did state the truth and you know it," shouted Covington as he leaped from the witness stand and made for Gray.
 After Covington had been pacified Judge Lee addressed both witness and attorney. The next time there is any thing done like that" said the court, T am going to land both of you in jail until you get in a good humor." Covington then apologized to both Judge Lee and the jury and proceeded with the | testimony.

The Boat For the Missouri.

The eccentric and variable Missouri river has "a personal friend" In George Fitch. who declares ill the American Magazine that the stream is naVigab ble enough if only the steamboats would conform to it's peculiarities. The Mis- souri river steamboat" says MT. Fitch, should be shallow, 1.-the, deep chested and exceedingly strong in the stern wheel. It should be hinged In the middle and should be fitted with a suction dredge, so that when 1t cannot climb over a sand bar 1t can assimilate 1t. The Missouri river steamboat should be able to make use of chan nel, but should not have to depend up on it. A steamer that cannot on Oc- casion climb a steep clay bank, go across a cornfeld and corner a river that Is trying to get away has little excuse for trying to navigate the Mis- souri,"

The Ojdast Book.

The oldest book In the world to which a positive date can be assigned is an assortment of proverbs some what after the style of the proverbs collected by solomon. The work is ac- credited to Ptah-hotep. an Egyptian king. and Psychologists assign to 1t an antiquity of nt least 300 R. C. Abra- ham was called to leave his home in Ur of the Chaldees 1921 B. C., so that this volume was written HOO years before the beginning of Jewish histo- ". The deiuge Is placed by most chro- nologists at R. C. 234S, so the book, if its dating is correct. must have been written before the food Methuselah was born R. C. 3317 so that this papy- rus was prepared and these proverbs were collected when the oldest man on record was a lively young fellow of 300 years.

of her agricultural and mineral ca uacity, we would point out that the country still has vast tracts of fer tile land only needing population to make them productive and immense quantities Of minerals awaiting the miner. Even the idea somewhat com- monH held that the United States are reaching the limit of their Wheat-pro- ducing capacity is mistaken one. The calculations of experts show that the country can nearly double the amount of it's existing contribution to the worlds wheat supplies. There is nothing unsound in the existing state of affairs. The progress of the coun- tWy has simply been ct rate greater than the supply of capital permits, and all that is needed is a period of relative rest in which the outlays upon non-e.sentials will be somewhat curtailed in order that an adequate supply of capital may be provided for the essential industries"

Tin Filled Teeth.

Do you know that tooth is filed with tin?' asked the dentist, tapping one of his patients molars with his little pick.
 Indeed 1 do. That was filled years ago by country dentist, and it is the best filling I have ever had put in q tooth"
 of course it is. It Is pity more people do not know that fact, The only trouble is that tin is so hard to manipulate it costs more than gold filling, and people will not pay the price for anything which so"nds SO cheap as tin. have one customer, though, who is educated. He is Wall street broker, and he will not let me put any other kind of filling into hls teeth except tin. He pays me $20 an hour and lets me take all the time that is necessary.

DEEP GAME OF GRAFT.

HOT SPRINGS GETS
 GUARD ENCAMPMENT
Little Rocks Strongest Competitor for the Meeting in Effect Agrees to Guarantee s6.OOO for the
 Occasion.

Hot Springs captured the en- campment of the Arkansas National Guard yesterday, and it will be held in that city from September 29 to October 8, says the Little Rock Ga- zette.
 Several cities in the state desired the encampment, and it was a ques- ton as to which could outbid the other in order to secure the meet ing. The colonels of the two regi- ments and Acting Governor x. o. PindaIl, commander-in-chief of the guard decided that Hot Springs of- fered the best inducements, and it's offer was accepted.
 At recent meeting of theArkan- sas National Guard Association, Col. W. K. Surridge, president of the association and colonel of the First regiment, and Col. Henry Stroup, commanding the Second Regiment, were appointed a committee to re- ceive propositions from the various cities desiring the encampment. The main contestants were Little Roch and Hot Springs. At meeting of the committee yesterday. Little Rock was represented by Col. R. M. Pearson, Chas. s. Stifft, James Arenson, J. F. Letton and George F. Brown representing the Board of Trade, Retail Grocers' Associa- ton and General Merchants Associa- tion Little Rocks offer was first, co expend s2,500 for the grounds and expenses of the encampment, nd give the entire receipts of all the entertainments, including fireworks sham battle etc, after the expenses are paid to the Military Encampment Committee; to pay the Military En- campment Comittee the net sum of $2,000; pay all the expenses of the encampment and retain the total re- ceipts. The latter part of the pro- pogal was an offer of S2,000 bonus to hold the encampment here and defray all expenses.
 The offer made by Hot Springs was s2,500 with q bonus of s2,00o, with no strings tied to either. The total amount guaranteed by Hot Springs is s6,00o. After all this amount has been paid out by Hot Springs, if there is any surplus, the Arkansas Fair Association will split the balance with the guard. The Hot Springs people practically pay s6,O00 for the eneampment, and if there be any profits, agree to di- vide with the guard.
 It is expected that about 1,50o officers and men will attend the en- campnent.

She Got Wise,

A Laramie woman went to the the ater the other night with some friends, but when they were seated she was separated from her friends by a man and woman who seemed to pay no at tention 10 each other. The woman figured out that if the two people would sit over seat she could sit with her friends. Bracing up her nerve, she said sweetly to the man. Beg pardon are you here alone?' The man stared at the curtain as if he were drawing salary for it. T beg pardon, the woman said a little loud CT, "are you alone?" Get wise" whis- pered the man hoarsely through the extreme corner of his mouth; this Is my wife."-Laramie Boomerang
