 Car.

Robert Cole, negro drayman, was quite seriously injured yesterday morning. having his right leg run oy- CT by a Traction Company car, It was later amputated at st. Margaret's Hospital where he was taken for treatment. The accident of the negro occurred shortly after o'clock, near the freight depot of the Seaboard Air Line Railroad
 Cole was driving his team on North Perry Street when the accident took place. and his wagon was struck in the rear by Riverside Car No. IT.
 All accounts concerning the injury to the negro are to the effect that he had driven on the track for a mo- ment, immediately after hearing the gong of the approaching car. and that he suddenly turned again into the track just as the car had increased It's speed for the purpose of clearing the way. The sudden turn of the negro. it seems, caused the contact of car and vehicle, with the result that Cole was thrown off the wagon and in the path of the car.
 The negro's leg was so badly crush ed by the wheels that amputation was necessary. Though considerable blood was lost in the interim between collision and amputation. Cole was said last evening to be resting welll
 Motorman ". J. Foster and Con- ductor J. T. Coleman were arrested by Detectives Graham and Avant im- mediately after the collision, and bond was made. Their trial was postponed by Recorder Baber yester- day afternoon to the 17th of septem- her

GRADES ARE REVISED
MANY DIFFERENCES OFF AND ON
 MIDDLING MADE.
Premiums on High Grades are Reduced About Tvyenty-hve Points and
 Increased Penalties im
 Low Grades.

New York, Sept. 1.-The regular September meeting of the revision com mittee of the New York Cotton Ex- change was held after the close of business this afternoon. Much in- terest had been taken in the probable action of the committee. owing to the big discount at which local accounts had been selling as compared with mid ding cotton ina the open market and the trade had anticipated that the ac- tion of the committee would bring the contract about fifty points nearer parity with the middllng grade.
 The revision committee announced reduced premiums on the high grades about twenty-five points, but gave in- creased penalties on the low grades of from about 20 to 100 points, with the penalties particularly severe on the tinged and stained cotton. A revision of about fifty points had probably been discounted.
 The following will show the present differences on and off middling eompar- ed with those in force previously:

the capital during a session of Congress he will not find his member either at the races, around the festive board or at- tending some swell assembly of city society, but will find Charley at his post of duty earnestly work ing for the interest of his people and country. Floyd is the kind of a member that it will pay to keep. The longer he serves, the more efficient he will become and therefore, will be more able to serve his district and state. We can guarantee that no graft or scandal will be whispered against Charley Floyd. He is honest and faithful, let us keep him where he is.

Good Doctrine.

It is our sincere prayer that the people out in the hills of this good old country, will put their think boxes down on a business level and elect set of county officials straight from their ranks. Not all republicans. Not all democrats. But all honest men. Some of the most corrupt and rotton men we know, clair, to be republicans. They arc- always on the ground first, on the morning of the democratic primary and are last to quit. They are always first to maz 6 a rush for the pie counter and and if they fail to get what they want, they knife their party in season. Just such men as this have aided in supporting and perpetuating ring rule in this county. The democrats in the main are honest. So are the republicans. The honest people in this county are certainly in a majority. Why take any mans party brand, instead of his char acter and fitness for an official position?7Salem Sun.

Floyd For Congress.
1 Benton County Democrat. l

In another column will be found the announcement of the Hon. J. c. Floyd as candidate for re- election to the Sixty first Congress of the United States, from this Congressional District, subject to the action of the Democratic party of the district. Our prediction of Charley Floyd, as his friends are pleased to call him, has been more than fulfilled, as his record in Con- gross fully proves. We said when first elected that he would make one of the best Congress- men the state has ever had. His short service in Congress has been remarkably successful. Charley Floyd inspired the ap- propriation and erection of that magnificent government building at Harrison, Boone county. Arkansas. This much for his district he accomplished by it's advocacy before he was elected.
 he subject was originated with him. Since he became a mem- Der, he, and he only, secured an appropriation of fifty thousand dollars to erect a government building for a post office at Fay etteville, Washington county, Arkansas, another place in his district. These two public build ings will not only add beauty and convenience for the public, but will furnish employment to many who need the work.
 By his sterling honesty and good judgment he has gained the confidence of his brother mem- bers in Congress that when he speaks and moves it is not ob- jected to, because they knew it is right. By that, he has called up and passed many private bills of merit for his constituents. His public speeches in Congress upon public questions always at- tract attention both in Congress and throughout the country. When read they are so full of sound sense and sincerity that they reflect honor upon the man as well as the people of his dis trict and state. Should it be the pleasure of constituent to visit

An Object Lesson.

Three weeks ago Madames Rogers 6 Cox, the enterprising milliners, when asked for an ad. told The Tribune they had on hand a wagon sheet they would like to sell and ask us to make mention of the fact instructing g any one interested to call on The Tribune. The ad. was placed and the ink had scarcely gotton dry on the papar until an inquiry came. It was directed to the milliner store, and sale was promptly made. Others came and were likewise directed un- til The Tribune was notified that others neeG not apply They could have sold a half a Nuuzen on the strenth of a 10 cent ad.
 The incident reminds us of the Irish carpenter who said when he found stick of timber too snort he could splice it, but when it was too long he did not know what to do to it.
 Generally when a person has one single article he wants to sell he knows he can find buy CT by advertising, but when he has a store full of such things he he don't know what to do about it.

 So far as Christmas tree or a public entertainment is concern ed we suppose Green Forest will not be Gin it" this time, owing to the fact that the church nor any of the rooms of the new school building will be ready for occupancy by that time.

 Several hundred negroes of the south are again talking of going to Africa.
 The primary plan seems to be the most satisfactory way of set ling the contest between candi- dates for postmaster throughout the state.
 Merchant S. J. Morris now has on exhibition at his store snow white squirrel which was captur- ed by Mahen Alfred of Osage. It is indeed a great curiosity; we never saw such an animal be- fore nor even so much as knew that they exist. It is about the size of a common gray squirrel and has pink colored eyes. AL though it has been in captivity but a short time, it is quite gen. tie, and frisks very playfully about in it's cage, but when you touch him he is inclined to sull like 'possum.
 Mrs. Sue L. James, the poetic editress of the Hot Springs Bule- tin, and who is an applicant for the postoffice of that city, has probably frightened her pros- poets for winning the prize by writing and dedicating a ditty to baby Ruth, while Kansas edi- tor who wants to be postmaster at his station has knocked his prospects deader than a door nail by calling this same little miss "little brat.'
