JAN JANOFF POUREN.

The plight of Jan Janoff Pouren,
Russian refugee now held in the
Tombs prison, New York, awaiting
the outcome of extradition proceed
ings, has brought his Americanized
countrymen to his defense.
In order to prevent the return of
Pouren to Russia, where it is rep
resented a horrible death awaits him,
the Russian Jews of New York are
appealing to the president and public
opinion in this country.
Little celebrity attaches to this
case" say Pouren's compatriots. "The
defendant is a man of no marked
personality, and his alleged acts fail
to distinguish him among numerous
other refugees from the Russian pro-
vinces. But that very obscurity sug-
gests the gravity of the situation. His
mediocrity shows that the case is
brought as test, and his parity with
others indicates that efforts will be
made to give the precedent thus form
e6 a wholesale application. SO firm
l. does the bureaucracy now hold
Russia in its clutches that It has a
tentacle free to reach out over seas
after fugitives abroad. Having in
duced us to violate the honor of 1872
years by betraying this confidence, it
will claim a right TO drag an indef-
mite number of its exied subjects
from our asylum"
As to the merits Of this particular
case the president must decide. But
ii they are as his Americanized coun-
trymen claim, it would be a burning
shame to send Pouren back to Rus
sia.
Political conditions in that despot-
ridden country are black as hell, ac-
cording to undisputed authority.
The mere reading about them is suf-
fident to make ones blood boil. Men
who dare to incur the displeasure OF
the police are thrown into dirty jails
and treated to inhuman cruelties.
Surely there is some place Of refuge
for these poor wretches and where
can suSh be found if not under the
stars and Stripes?

HE WON THE PRIZE.

In several papers in various parts
of the state articles have appeared
lately in which it is set forth that
certain statement No. members Of
the legislature will vote for Cham
berlain for senator, but that they will
do so against their wishes and with
sense Of martyrdom.
This is Alright is creditable that
the statement members are going to
keep their pledges like men. But
after all they will be merely show
ing common honesty and they will
not necessarily be entitled to seats in
heaven because they perform a plain
duty.
When a man or a horse. goes upon
the track and wins a race upon his
merits he is entitled to the prize. He
is given the same as a matter of form
and the people do not regard the
Judges as especial models of virtue
bacspsa they award the honor to the
righteous winner.
The race between Chamberlain and
cake for the senatorship was an open
cortest An the conditions were

these the contestants We're agreed.

applied to the county clerk for IL
cence to wed Miss Ethel Burrls,
says the Perryville News. The

Miss Burris was under age and her
guardian objected to her marrying.
The young couple were not to be
deferred in their plans but went to
Little Rock where they secured a
license and were married. The
bride is a beautiful and accom-

S. G. SMITH WINS LAND SUIT
Chancellor Wallace Decides Very
Complicated Case.
Loss of Papers and Failure to Record Deeds
Most Important
Factor.
FROM FRIDAYS DAILY.

Chancellor J. G. Wallace at noon
today, after listening to testimony
and arguments of attorneys for
about day and half, decided the
case of H. H. Benedict VS.. G. A.
Griffith and S. G.. Smith in favor
of the defendant. S. G. Smith.
This was suit that was instituted
by Benedict to enforce vendor S
lien for unpaid purchase money,
with interest, amounting to over
$1,000. 90, on about 200 acres of
land on the Arkansas river in this
county, now owned by S. G.
Smith.
1t appeared from the testimony
that the land involved in the suit
was a part of the estate of Russell

settlers of Faulkner county, and
who died a number of years ago

will result in securing greater pro-

cause. The nomination came from

regard the defeat as purely per-
sonal one l would consider it a
blessing rather than misfortune,

sented by private life.

dial support given by my neighbors
by the citizens of Lincoln and by
the people of the state of Nebraska.
With a Democratic governor and

be able to put into practice SO much
of the Denver platform as relates to
state legislation and trust that
our state will set an example that
will be an influence for good IN the

CHANCERy COURT IN SESSION
Judge Wallace Holding Adjourned
Term Here.
Cases Not Reached at September Term
Being Taken Up by the
Court.
FROM THURSDAYS DAILY.

Chancellor J. G. Wallace OF
Russellville is holding an ad-
journed term of chancery court III
this city today, taking up several
cases which were not reached at
the last September term.
The court will be in session to-
day and tomorrow.
Almost the entire morning ses-
sion was taken up with case of H.
H. Benedict against S. G. Smith.
This is a suit over the possession
of 100 acres of land lying near the
Arkansas river in this county.
Benedict sold the land for $1,000 to
c. A. Griffith, who afterwards
transferred it to Smith. The
plaintiff claims that only $500 has
been paid on the land and asks
for the foreclosure OF a vendors
lein on the property. The defend.
ant claims that the land has been
paid for and also that the statute
of limitations would run against
any claim the plaintiff might have.
and this latter defense involves the
principal part of the contest, as
the deed made by Benedict to Crit
fifth was lost without having been
recorded. The plaintiff alleges
that the land was sold in 1895, and
the defendant, prior to that time.
Milligan Application Denied.
Holding that the coroner's in
quest under which l.. E. Milligar
was committed to Jail was regular,
Judge Wallace this afternoon de-
MED an application for a writ of
habeas corpus. The court, how
ever, agreed to hear the defendant
on an application for a reduction
of his bail bond, which was fixed
by county Judge Lea at $4,000.

SAFE MAJORITY
FOR WALLACE

Little Rock, Nov. S, 3 p. NJ
Special.-Sufhcient returns have
been received here to remove all
doubt as to the ele ction of Minor
Wallace to congress from the
seventh district.
Little Rock, Nov. 5.-Reports
from the several counties in the
Seventh congressional district
show that Congressman R. Minor
Wallace has been reelected by a
substantial majority over his Re-
publican opponent, S. R. Young.
1t was reported in Little Rock
last night, as we'll as at several
points in the seventh district, that
Congressman Wallace had been
defeated, but there seems to be no
ground for these rumors. 1t was
reported that Young had carried
several counties in the district but
the returns available last night in
dictated that the Republican can
didate had carried only one of the
eleven counties in the district.
Ouachita county gave him a ma
jority of about 200.
