Whisky is a FOOI'

Whom the gods would de- stroy, they first make mad. " In the face of the tremendous agi- tation against the liquor traffic in our country the current events in Chicago as to Sunday closing of saloons, the shameful orgies practiced at the First Ward Ball" described in the Chicago papers comes as a Haunt ing insult. In Kansas, in the early days of prohibition agita- tion leading editor who was against prohibition had as a fav- orite text, "Whisily is a Fool. "
 He said that when some con servative friends of the saloon would get some things in their favor there would be some luol ulc pefIOflnance or the liquor sellers or som out rageous crime that would put new weapons into the hands of the temperance people.

ROULETTE PLAYED WITH SPOOL.
Newsboys' Game Which Has Small
 Chances for the Plungers.

Perhaps 1t isn't an entirely new game. but 1t was the first time that the wayfarer had seen 1t, says the New York Sun.
 A group of newsboys were gathered about another boy who had an i'm provised top made of spool pierced by sharpened skewer. The spool was so cut that 1t presented four square sides. each marked with a let ter. The letters were P. T. N. and A.
 The boy with the top spun it, while the others made wagers. mostly in cents. When the top came to rest 1t naturally fell on one of the square sides.
 What does 1t mean?" asked the wayfarer
 Well" said one of the boys. "ac- cording to the way the top falls you can make or lose the money you put up. If 1t drops on P then you put in sum equal to what you bet for the fellow who runs the wheel. If 1t falls on then you can take back the stake you put up.
 "If 1t comes on N that means none. You lose just what you put up. If 1t comes to A then the banker has to pay all the men who are playing"

Unrest of TraiRmen
Snecial to the News.

Nneclal to the News.
 Little Rock, March 2O.-From several points on the Iron Noun tain are coming reports of unrest among the trainmen. On Thurs day a telephonic report from Van Buren told of the laying off of not less than 30 conductors, for the reason that there is not sufficient work for them. On the t't. Smith line there are a number of men now working as brakemen weo were formerly conductors on freight trains and the brakemen whose places these men have taken have been laid off. And there is a feeling that the matter will come to the point that trouble may result be- tween the men and the company. A report was circulated in this city Thursday that the machin- ists in the shops over the sys- tem would stlille This was carefully investigated here last night with the result that it is found that less than a dozen men of the machinists trade are at work in the Barring Cross shops, and the other mechanics are only few in number. It is stated positively by those in a position to know of what they are speaking, that there: is no such intention in the minds of these men

Prosecuting Attorney RhOtOn Beginning to Figure in More Than One
 Political Difference.
Special 10 the News.

Little Rock, March 2O.-Per- sonal clash between George NJ. Heard and Prosecuting Attorney Lewis Rhoton is believed to be possible by some well informed people h ere. Recently Mr.. Heard who is supporting Baldy Vinson for prosecuting attorney against Mir. RhOtOn, wrote the latter a letter making charges that while Mr. RhOton was charg
 ing that Jeff Davis used mileage on railroads, his deputy in Perry county was also using mileage. In his letter Mr. Heard said that he desired.to warn Mr. Rhoton that he would not be allowed to say by innuendO, anything which might reflect upon him (Heard)
 Mr Rhoton's open reply to this contained the following: "I mean that if by your question that he (Rhoton's deputyin Perry county) rides upon free transpor- tation that you lie. This language Is not susceptible to the charge of being by innuenGo. I am in room 021 in the same building where you are; 1 see you in the elevator, in tie halls and on the streets daily, and l advise you that if what 1 have said in any way reflects upon you unjustly
 that you may proceed in what ever way you see fit. And the same suggestion goes as to Soma tor Marshall Patterson, citizen of Woodruff county, who has undertaken to direct the people Of this circuit as to whom they should vote for for prosecuting attorney"
 This coming from a man of the temper of Lewis Rhoton-c calculating and without passion and to a man of the temperament of MT. Heard, who is also given
