the widely scattered tanning inter-
ests, are willing to lose their protec-
ton. or large part of 1t. The con-
sumner is brought in sight of some
OF the relief he has been asking.
Let 1t get started once and there
is no telling how far this process
of mutual concession might CO." de-
clared national authority on tariff.
1T is largely a question of getting
a start; It is like taking up a cob
blestone pavement You may have
to chip the first stone to bits with
chisel. but when II is removed
the others come out very readily;
the whole thing presently falls to
pieces. That's Just what this re-
organization Of a tariff means Mr..
Carnegie knocked out the first brick,
and the rest will tumble out IL they
have a chance"
Optimistic View
This is decidedly an optimistic re-
vision view, however. There are q
good many people who absolutely
decline to take seriously the recan.
tation of Speaker Cannon and the
ways and means committee. The,
insist that the speaker. once re-
elected, will be the same old car ant
the same ardent standpatter as ever
and that In the end tariff bill will
come out which. while keeping the
promise of revision to the ear, will
break II to the hope and the under.
standing.
But this question of the next con.
gressional election is already deter.
mined. The Hon. Jim Ham Lewis
of Virginia, Seattle, Chicago ant
Kosmos, settled 1t today while stop.
ping in Washington between trains
THE people are always buncoed In
this matter OF revision. he said
They are to be more than usual,
well buncoed this time. They will
be delightfully."- fooled. more scien.
tifically, than ever before.
Effect on Party
However. the usual result will
happen. My boy, do you know that
In all the history of tariff legisla.
ton in this country, there is no ex,
ception to the rule that part,
which makes a tariff bill. loses tn,
Congress at the next election.
THAT is the case. Just one ex
ception: the Dingley law was passed
by the Republicans, and they did not
lose the next house. They would
have lost 1t but for the Spanish war
The party In power won on the is
sue of standing by the flag. and
saved itself from the rebuke for that

this time: the Republicans will lose
the next house as a penalty for the
coming fraudulent revision"
And Mr.. Lewis caressed his won
drous whisker. bowed magnificent
ly, and passed on.

"AVENGBR JONES" IN PRISON. Man Who Would Have Killed Gar fields Slayer Held for Death of
 Employe Near Washington.

Washington.-Note for having at- tempted 10 avenge the death of Pres ident Garfield by shooting at Guiteau, the assassin, William Jones, locally known as Bill Jones, the ayenger," a farmer, Sunday night shot and kill ed John A. McPerson of Detroit, Mich, at Bates farm, near Brookland on the outskirts of this city.
 The weapon used was a shotgun and McPheron's breast was riddled with buckshot, several of which pene- trated his heart An unloaded Win chester rifle @yas found lying beside the body. The shotgun was found on the porch of Jones' house
 Jones was arrested shortly after the crime was committed while he was on his way to Baltimore, where he owns property. He was brought to this city and lodged in jail.
 The police are able to advance but one theory as to the motive for the crime. They have learned, it is said that the two men had quarreled over the possession of a horse.
 MePherson, who was 29 years old, had been working on Jones' farm since he was discharged from the United States marine corps on June 26 last
 Several days following upon Presi- dent Garfeld's death, Guiteau was taken to court for a preliminary hear ing and it was while he was being returned to jail in charge of District Marshal Corkhill, that Jones attempted to shoot him. Jones was riding a spirited horse. He followed the pris, on van from the court house to with. in several blocks of the jail when he suddenly spurred his horse darted through the crowd, drew a revolver and fired into the van. Guiteau who was sitting near the door caught glimpse of Jones as he drew the weap- on and lodged. The bullet sped over his head and lodged in the side of the wagon. Jones, believing that he had killed Guiteau, dug the spurs into his horses side and escaped arrest at that time He was captured shortly af- terward near Fredericksburg, Va. Jones was tried and acquitted,

Rice Airship Refused to Fly.

The theory of a large gas balloon encased fiXedly to the mechanism of the airship it is to float, received an- other disappointing setback at Hot Springs Sunday afternoon when the Joe Rice airship endeavored 10 make it's initial flight
 Rice had undertaken to construct his airship along more extended lines than ever attempted before. The fragile framework extended from nose to nose of the great balloon that was to lift it, and was connected further to the bag by circle of aluminium belting which encased the bag along a parallel with it's widest points Under the framework of the bag was wholly encased and firmly fixed to the airship mechanism. When Prof Carl Meyer of New York first eX- amined the affair he shook his head in doubt. But it was the Rice theory, and he permitted the inventor to pro ceed without the Encouragement of his doubts.
 Tt is a problem yet unsolyed, to make a moving, squirming gas baloOn and a fragile bit of framework CO., operate in unison," was all Prof Myer said. Sunday the first flight was to have been attempted. With everything in readiness the ballast bags were carefully taken away one by one, while men stood about the framework carefully watching the eff fleets when the mechanism became dependent on the gas bag.
 With Rice as the pilot, and the en- zine well in motion, the balloon was taken charge of by several men, and slowly allowed to rise about six feet.
 The result was disappointing. The framework constructed of steel tubing was pulled hard at one place, while it was loose at other points, as the bag sweryed but slightly, and was warped so badly that further effort at flight was impossible. It was hauled down, dismantled of every foot of unneces- sary tubing, the circular belt removed, and when the next attempt at flight is made it will be with the steering mechanism of the inventors ship floating under the balloon, bound only by the lax soft cotton rope used as netting.

The boat had just left Luxora and was being lowed down the river In some way she got in too close to shore while passing the fleet of barges used in constructing the big mat which IS being constructed by the government at Old Town, and became entangled in the wire cables used for holding the fleet. The current was too much for the craft and in a few minutes she had turned turtle and sunk in about 60 feet of water.
 One life was lost, that Of a Norwe- gian, who was leader of the orchestra. His name and home cannot be learned.
 Considerable money was lost in the safe. The boat is a total loss.
 Those on board escaped by crawling out on the government mat.

Slain While at His Prayers.

Jeff Blanks, negro, was shot and instantly killed Friday night by George Quinn, another negro. The shooting occurred at Mt Nebo, a negro church in a negro district on West Second Avenue, Pine Bluff. A prayer meeting was being held at the church and Blanks was attend, ing the services when Quinn shot him through a window of the church with a shotgun.
 Most of the negroes who were in the building ran outside, some jump ing through windows. The few who were left with the body of Blanks summoned a doctor, thinking he was still alive, but the shot had entered his head, killing him almost instantly.
 Quinn made his escape, but blood. hounds were put on his trail and he was soon located in his house. where he was arrested. Blanks died with a Bible in his hand.
 It is thought the killing was on account of some trouble the two men had recently about a woman.

<. l.. Rea Warned by Night RIders.

Some uneasiness was felt at Van Buren Tuesday, especially among cotton buyers, ginners and compress managers over a night rider warning received through the mail there Tues day afternoon by J. L. Req, district manager for the Lesser-Goldman Cot ton Company, of St. Louis. Following is a copy of the threatening letter:
 Van Buren, Ark, Oct. 6, 1908 MT. J. L. Rea
 Dear Sir and Friend: We ask you to do one of two things and that it to quit buying cotton or having it bought or raise the price.
 You run 1t over the farmers last year and you think you will again, but we will take your hide for a pick sack and leave your town by the light of bales of cotton on fire.
 Yours for luck
 Night Rider
 "P. s. We will paint the old town red"
 This is the first warning of this kind received there this year and while MT. Req treats the matter as a hoax, the more timid are somewhat alarmed and the first report of bale of cotton be- ing burned will paralyze the cotton industry at that point
 The letter was posted on the Iron Mountain south-bound passenger train No. 103 at some point west of the city, possibly at Cherokee junction. It was plainly written with lead pencil on a leaf torn from a cheap tablet, but be- yond this there is no clue to lead to
 MT. Req declares that he will con- the detection of the writer iinue to buy on the markets in his dis trict and will pay no attention to it. He is not a buyer of street cotton, but Duys exclusively from merchants and others, and it is thought that soaring Mir. Req from the market, the mer- chants, fearing thas they would be unable to find a buyer, would be forced to quit buying. MT. Req has handled practically all Of the cotton in that district during the past 20 years, as well as the bulk of the fruit grown in Crawford county until three years ago.
