'CONC[AVE OF
CHEWING IS ON
lack Tars Masticating Tobac-
CO to Decide Awarding
of Contest.

To determine which of great va
riety Of chewing tobacco will best
serve the needs of the United States
Jack Tars for the next year, board
Of paymasters have begun at the
Brooklyn navy yard solemn con-
clave to last week. A force of
blue Jackets detailed from the several
ships at the yard will act as experts.
On the result Of the test will rest
the award of contract for $780,
900 pounds of tobacco. That no
chicanery may creep into the
samples. they will be freed from any
mark of Identification save numbers
before being submitted to maceration
by the testers.
Although the rules governing the
competition do not require segrega-
ton of the several judges It is pre-
scribed that the chewing arbiters
shall proceed with their work in ST.
lence.
The paymaster, speaking flgurative-
~. will also take hand in the chew
ing. in addition to supervising chem
ical and other tests of the purity OF
the samples. but the greatest weight
will rest with the patriotic judgment
of the Jack Tar. Arrangements have
been made with the navy yard sur
geon's Office for quick aid in case
any Of the chewing phalanx shall be-
come temporarily disabled.

AS TO THE BIG FOUR.

The Little Rock papers are hav- ing considerable to say just now as to who will be selected as the Big Four" to represent Arkan- sas at the Denver convention, and the Arkansas Democrat very apt ly says that there are many good men outside of the official ranks who are willing to serve the state and party" The Dem- ocrat also makes a few suoges- tions, and calls attention to the fact that Hon. J. H. Herrod, J. K. Jones and Judge John Ike Moore are good timber for the Big Four' delegation. We are with the Democrat in it's move to select delegates who are not of flee holders. Let us pass the par ty honors around. but while we are at it let us send men to Den yer who are friendly enough, at least, to serve in caucus together should the occasion arise.
 Nevada county has one of the brainiest and best men in Arkan- sas on it's delegation to the state convention, one that has served in the national congress for twelve years and who knows nat ional politics and national politic- ians. but who, for the past six years has been at home among his people assisting in every way that good citizen can in the up- building of his state and commu- nity; a man who would add dig nifty, strength and conservatism to the delegation. We speak of Hon. Thos. C. McRae of Pres colt.

Smith was 33.3, and at Little Rock a stage of 27.8 was record ed, thus showing that it is diff cult to estimate the effect of high water at Fort Smith on the lower guages. If there is no rain be- tween Fort Smith and Little Rock a large quantity of the water at Fort Smith will overflow the banks and not return to the riv- CT, thus wasting considerable portion of it's volume. This fact causes the variance in the re- suits on the guages below Fort Smith.
 The situation below Pine Bluff is extremely critical, as the riv- CT is already bank full at some of the lower river points and the Mississippi river is so high that it's waters have backed up in the Arkansas for some distance.
 It is impossible to make a pre- diction with any degree of cer- tainty, and there is nothing to do but to wait and in the mean time to take every precaution in strengthening leeves.

that she holds most firmly that no one, pagan or Christian, will ever be eternally punished here after who has not with full knowledge and deliberate con- sent turned his back upon God and died in grievous sin. Thus. if a pagan can avoid He'll, surely a Protestant who believes in the D yinitv of Christ and accepts Him as his personal Savior can do the same.
 On the question of He'll as a place of eternal suffering for the damned, tormented by countless demons armed with many instru- ments of torture, nothing but a fathomless abyss of impenetra- ble darkness and imaginable stench, where snakes, griffins, worms, and blue tongued flames encircle and entWine the writh- ing bodies of the lost the Cath olic Church deprecates such stuff as a He'll of inauguration only, envolved in bad taste out of the fertile brain of some exaggerat- ed preacher, or from too liberal an interpretation of highly figur- ative passages of Scripture, that the language of poetry should not be confounded with the Cos pie of Jesus Christ.
 Although the common teach ing, based on many passages of Scripture (Matt xii. 42; Luke xvi. 24; Heb. X. 27;; Apoc. xxx. 9, etc. ), is that in hell there will be a sensible suffering caused by fire, the only official definition given by the church herself is that the chief punishment of hell is the loss of the vision of God. andall that this entails.
 The child-like spirit is the most becoming to the Christian. He, who reads the Holy Bible prayer fully, will never pit his poor little human intelligence against the things of God whether he under stands them or not, He knows that God will give him light enough to understand all that is needful, and grace enough to en- able him to lead Christ-like life.

SITUATION IS
 VERY CRITICAL
It Is Predicted That the Riv- CT Will Reach a Stage of
 28 Feet at Pine Bluff.

Pine Bluff, May 27. Capt. J. M. Hudson, the local observer, predicts that the river will reach |8 feet here by Friday. This will
 be five feet higher than the flood stage, and it Is doubtful if sever
 al of the Ievees below Pine Bluff will hold with this stage of water, Planters below this city are bus fly engaged in repairing the lev lees and several thousand sacks have been shipped out of Pine Bluff to be filled with sand and used in strengthening the leVees. The levee at Heckatoo in the |Linwood and Auburn district is considered weak, and it is barely hoped that his levee will with stand stage of 26 feet. The |levee at the state farm is also in danger and the levee at John M. |Gracie s plantation was cut dur |mg the rlse several weeks ago to prevent the upper portion of it |lr0m beng washed away.
