CHINAMAN CONQUERS JAP
Easy Victor in a Boxing Bout Which
Somewhat Surprised the
Spectators.

The popular impression that ex-
lists in this country that the Japs
are a far superior race, both physi-
cally and mentally, to the Chinese,
was somewhat reversed recently
among the crowd of students in the
university gymnasium, who wit
messed a friendly boxing bout be-
tween two students, each represent
ing one of thise oriental nations,
says the Philadelphia Record. The
slant eyed youths gave fine exhi-
bition of quickness and scientific
hitting, and the Chinaman had far
the best Of the bout. He jumped all
around the Jap, poking him here
and there, and soon drove the Nip
ponese smile from the face of the
son of the Island empire. When the
scrap started the Jap was smiling
and confident and the Chinese lad
appeared listless and without ex-
preston. When the bout ended the
Chinaman was just the same, but
the Jap's face wore scowl of dis
appointment.

NOvEu,ST'S LOCAL COLOR.

Even South Sea Islanders have
their literary sensations. The abort
gines of the Tonga group have been
startled by the discovery of a white
woman living by herself on a lonely
and seagrit isle, and equipped with
a tea-kettle, a looking-glass and a
typewriter. First impressions set the
apparition down for an evil spirit,
which some demonologists might
hold to be not very wide of the mark,
since it intimately proved to be
a lady novelist.

FOR GOVERNOR OF ARKANSAS.

George w. Donaghey, a prom
inent candidate for governor of Ark
ansas, came in from Fordyce Friday
night, where he had addressed the
citizens of that place in the interest
of his candidacy, and spent the
night and part of Saturday in
Camden meeting friends and max
ing more. At one o'clock Sat
urday afternoon he addressed a
fair or W of representative citizens
at the court house, and while he
makes no pretention at oratory, in
a plain, straightforward and intel
ligent way he discussed measures
in a way that carried conviction.
He spoke for about AL hour and
was heard attentively, every state
ment he made being backed up, as
he said, by the records, and what
he said must be true, for it "sho'
welt unchallenged.
He promised that if elected gov
ernor the administration of affairs
would be economical and that the
state would get dollar in value
for every dollar spent; that the state
capitol would be completed quickly
and with out further graft, and
that an awakening of public senti-
ment would relegate thieves to the
rear and that knavery and foul
scandal would hide their hideous
faces, but that the capitol would
emerge and the remaining work on
it be honestly done by honest labor
and at honest cost.
At the conclusion of his speech
he was roundly applauded, big
majority of his hearers shaking
hands with him.
George Donaghey is one of Ark.
ansas most honorable citizens an
we know of no one more competent
or who would administer the al
fairs of state more honestly anC
faithfully than he. Consider hi:
claims and examine his character
both in private and public life and
we believe that great majority OF
the people of the state will support
and elect George w. Donaghey as
their next chief executive.-Cam-

SIMPLE HOME RECIPE
Prepare This Simple Recipe at
Home and Try it.
Druggists Here in Town Say They Can
Supply the Ingredients or Make
Up the Mixture.

Get from any prescription phar-
macist the following:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one
half ounce; Compound Kargon,
one ounce; Compound Syrup Sar-
sasparilla, three ounces.
Shake we'll in a bottle and take a
teaspoonful dose after each meal and
at bedtime.
The above is considered by an
eminent authority, who writes in a
New York daily paper, as the
finest prescription ever written to
relieve Backache, Kidney Trouble
Weak Bladder and all forms Of
Urinary difficulties. This mixture
acts promptly on the eliminatlve
tissues of the Kidneys enabling
them to filter and strain the uric
acid and other waste matter from
the blood which causes Rheuma-
tism.
Some people who suffer with the
affection may not feel inclined to
place much confidence in this sim
pie mixture, yet those who have
tried it say the results are simply
surprising, the relief being effected
with out the slightest injury to the
stomach or other organs.
Mix some anG give it trial. 1t
certainly comes highly recommend
ed. 1t is the prescription of an
eminent authority, whose entire
reputation, it is said, was establish
ed by it.
A druggist here at home when
asked stated that he could either
supply the ingredients Or mix the
prescription for our readers, also
recommends it as harmless.

SENATOR DAVIS SPEECH.

Two things are true OF Senator
Jeff Davis speech in the United
States Senate delivered last We'd
nesday: he has "made good his
promise to his constituency that
he would be heard before Christmas
and he has caused a national SEN
sation. To be in the public eye is
a position very dear to Davis and
for this reason the effect of his
speech has been all he could de-
sire.
So far as the speech itself is con-
cerned, a careful reading fails to
disclose anything new, especially
to the people of Arkansas, who
have heard it time after time.
His antitrust bill has been referred
to a committee and if it is ever re-
ported, a Republican senate will
promptly kill L.
The staid and dignifed senate is
little moved by impassioned oratory
and Senator Davis knows it. In
the language of an eastern paper
he was talking over the heads of
the senators to his people in Ark
ansas. Though he is to be COM
mended for his efforts to break
down the foolish senatorial pre-
cedent that a new senator shall not
be heard, he has doubtless by the
same act placed himself in a posi-
ton where he can be of less actual
service to his state.

vinces in the discussion of issues
or the consideration of matters af-
fecting the public veal.
The mud-slinger is a coward and
a poltron,- "a charge which can an
ger no one, as to resent it would
be to admit it.
There is less of it this campaign
than has been for a number of years
past in Arkansas, and the press and
the public are applauding the candi-
dates tor it.
Records are public property and
open to legitimate discussion, but
when a mans private life, (which
can have no bearing upon his in
tegrity as a man, are held up to
worse than ridicule, blackened by
innuendo and insinuation, when
billingsgate of purely persona
character is banded about to the
sport of the low and the disgust OF
the decent, then is it ever time to
call a halt.
Arkansas is to be congratulated
that the political campaign has
this year been upon more gentle
manly plane. -Texarkanian.
