 Parr and Yager then entered the arena Immediately upon it being announced that Parr had refused to allow the strangle hold the crowd started hissing, hootnS and bowling and kept 1t up until Referee Miles announced that Parr would go on with any old hold, which changed the hisses to cheers. The strangle hold was used repeatedly by both men. As usual, Parr managed to stay on top Yager appeared nearly foot the taller and his body and limbs were built in proportion. He appeared little neshy, and said after the match that the sudden change from Canada to t.e sunny south had made him sick; that people were still wearing snow shoes at the place from which he came.
 The first bout went for 27.20 Head ho-us, leg holds, half nelsons, full nel- sons, body holds and strangles followed eacn other In quick succession. Parr secured a strangle hold on Yager within three or four minutes, holding him in tna~ pasition for over two minutes. Ya- ger broke it. then Parr secured it again in a few minutes.
 Yager got Parr in q ticlIish position when Parr secured hammerlock and then twisted his legs around 1ager's neck Yager broke the hammerlock and rolled over with Paris head under his arm and also secured a hammerlock He held Parr for two or three minutes, Parr finally bridging over on top of Yager. Parr then secured a toe hold and twisted his legs around Yager's body, Yager breaking 1t after being held for three minutes. Yager then strangled Parr for over a minute Parr broke 1t and secured a toe hold and strangle, which he quickly converted into a toe hold and scissors on the head, and after four minutes hard pulling put Ya- gers shoulders to the mat
 Wager Aggressive.
 Wager started the second bout very much the aggressor, first getting d strangle while standing and bringing Parr to the floor with it. Parr worked out in a minute and then some lively contor- tionist work on the part of both men took place, each man sliding and twisting all over the other Parr got another tee hold and almost had Yager, but Yager all most fell off the platform and the ref cree brought them to the center of the mat. giving Pass the same hold. Before Parr could grip it tight Wager slipped out and caught it on him. Parr broke 1t and then each secured another strangle. Parr finally getting a scissors over fagers head and shoulders and combined 1t with a toe hold. Wager tried doubling one or Parrs feet back and pulling Parr's hand off his foot. Parr's hand was on his toe to stick however, and after three or four minutes hard resistance Wager caved in and laid out flat.
 Parr stated after the match that he was in splendid shape; that he had got used to hte climate, which gave him great advantage over Yager He also stated that Wager was one of the strong est men he had wrestled and that his strangle hold had made him see stars twice during the match. wager sald the climate here had put him out of business, and he showed evidences of it at the finish of the last fall being unable to rise for several seconds.

THE ANTI.CIGARETTE BILL.

A bill prohibiting the sale. manu- facture or giving away of cigarettes, or the makings thereof, has passed the Arkansas senate, gone to the house. and the committee on temperance to which it was referred, has recommend ed that 1t do pass, with an amend ment exempting the city of Hot Springs.
 Here are few thoughts gathered from the Arkansas Gazette. which should be considered seriously before placing such a drastic and uncalled for law on the statute. The Gazette says:
 We suggest that the bill might be further improved by exempting the whole of Garland county and the whole of every other county in the state.
 This bill, if enacted into law, will not stop the smoking of cigarettes, and even if their smoking could be stopped by law why should the state prescribe in what form tobacco may be used?
 No doubt the framers of this meas ure had good intentions. but really, what is the use of adding an imprac- ticable and unnecessary law to and encumbering our statutes with a law that will never accomplish the object intended?
 We have already a law forbidding the sale of cigarettes to persons below the age of 2l years. Is the state to say to able-bodied men that they shall not smoke cigarettes if they want to smoke cigarettes? Why not prohibit men from chewing tobacco or using snuff? Is not the state getting a little too paternal when it undertakes to order and regulate mans personal habits?
 Tennessee and Indiana have passed anti-eigarette laws which are dead letters. What is the use of Arkansas following in their footsteps2
 Yes, we know the present is re- form legislature. But no reform is &C., compllshed by passing impracticabe laws.

The Argenta-Little Rock annexa- tion bill which has been a subject of bitter politics for six years, passed the lower house last week by vote of 5 to 32. The Arkansas correspondent of the Commercial Appeal says the final disposition of this bill ends one of the bitterest contests that has ever been waged in an Arkansas legisla- ture. IL commenced six years ago when Argenta was separated from Little Rock, and has occupied much of the time of the general assemblies since. Several members of the last state senate are under indictment on charges growing out of the defeat of the annexation bill two years ago United States Senator Jeff Davis and Mayor Faucette of Argenta led the light against the bill

Hawkins. secretary of the Good Roads Association, is drawing up a bill for introduction in the senate ap- propriating s25, 600 for the survey of a proposed road between Fort Smith and Memphis, by way of Little Rock and Pine Bluff. The idea is to con- struct highway across the entire state through the principal cities of Arkansas. The road is to be built of macadam and is to be a model one in all respects. At present all that is de sired is preliminary survey of the route. after which means will be de yised whereby funds for the construc. tion of the highway can be secured The bill was introduced in the upper house this Friday morning by the senator from St. Francis.

Paternalismin in governments is 10 be despised. The rathers of the Revolu- tion thought so, and spilled their blood in defense of their principles. It is undemocratic and opposed to th; free dom for which they fought. bled and died. The Arkansas legislature has no moral right to say what a citizen shall or shall not do, so long as his act does not interfere with the peace hap piness, rights or welfare of others. or the dignity of the State. But the Arkansas legislature is ruling with an iron hand, and taking high-handed privileges with their position to op- peess certain citizens and abridge the rights of others. We do not remem- Der to have ever seen just such batch of freak bills as have been int reduced in, and strange to say some of them have passed the Arkansas General Assembly. This body seems to have no regard for the inalienable right of a citizen to do as he pleases within certain bounds, and instead of legisla- ting for Arkansans and for Arkansas, and protecting Arkansas interests. as it should on every occasion. it is driv- ing capital from the State, hampering business interests of the State, and sending the money abroad, never to rpfI1rt

The Times does not often reverse itself, but after reading further argu- ments against the bill-to compel the insurance companies to invest 75 per cent of their reserve for Arkansas policy holders, in Arkansas, we have about arrived at the conclusion that we were a little hasty in endorsing that measure last week. IL is true that there are many excellent reasons given, some of which we published last week, in support of the measure, but these are perhaps more than offset by the danger that there might not be ample securities just at the time wanted that would be safe and profit able and such as would be acceptable to the management. Besides it might work a hardship upon the very per sons whom il is intended to benefit the policy holders themselves by making 1t impossible for them to bor- row money on their policies. The house ought to go slow on this bill, and investigate it's probable effects thoroughly. It may be very mis- chieSi0uS.

If our worst fears become realities. and Governor Little can never fill the office to which he was elected by the people, what's the matter with Gov ernor John Ike Moore being elected to continue the service which he has be- gun, and in which he has demonstrat- ed his general fitness. Eastern Ark ansas is entitled to name the next governor, and we believe Governor John Ike Moore, of Phillips county. will be almost universally acceptable to the masses. He has been a promi- nent member of the general assembly for many years, and is thoroughly fa- miliar with all the great questions in which the people are interested, and his views, so far as We know, have al ways been in harmony with the best interests of the masses. He is not a crank on any subject, and if chosen to All this high and honorable position, we believe he would give us a wise, conservative administration and re- store harmony in the ranks of democ- racy.
