and could give Us nothing less than a high toned administra- ton. He Is the only man in the race who Is free from factional- iSms and would not be engaged in d factional fight during his term of office. He belongs neither to the "Davis" nor the
 ''anti-Davis" factions, neither does lie belong to the Stone" or Cooper" dome crowd. He is the only candidate who IS look ing to the future instead of rak- ing up lot of ugly charges against his opponents which be- long to the past, He is patriot and has more love for and is clos CT to the people than all the little demagogues who go around ex- pressing their affection for the
 down trodden masses whose votes they are after. Arkansas has the opportunity to elect d man governor wIlo is anxious to work for her interests and is able to give her d wise and brilliant ad- ministration. Will she discard the biekerings of the past, refuse to listen to the designing poli
 ticians and take advantage of tile splendid opportunity offered herr We believe she will, and that enough patriotic and stalwart Democrats will get together on March 25 to make John H. Hine- mon governor. IL will be great day for Arkansas. A CITIZEN.

WHY HE IS
 FOR HINEMON.
A Citizen of White County Gives Reason for the Faith
 That Is Tn Him.

The White County Citizen, published at Searey, prints the following communication rela- tive to the gubernational candi- dacy of John H. Hinemon:
 "Edltor Citizen While not un- mindful of the fact that you have expressed little or no preference of choice between the candidates for governor, l do not believe you will deny space in your Peoples Column" for an expression from one of your readers. It seems to me that this Is one of the most i'm portant campaigns with which the people of Arkansas have been confronted. that 1t Is time when every man who loves his state and IS anxious to preserve her good name and wipe out the stain made by designing politicians should make his name and influence felt. Much depends on our selection for governor, and III order to Se- cure an able and honest adminis- tration of state affairs We should lay aside all factional feeling and prejudice and vote for the eandl- date who will give LIS such an ad- ministration. In the person of Prof. John II. Hinemon We have such candinate. A man of eX- alted executive ability. q scholar and gentleman. What more could be asked? Prof. Hinemon would adorn the governors chair and be an honor to the state; he would likewise consider the Of flee all honor to him and not
 merely part of q political ma chine to be operated for his per sonal benefit. Can as much be said of anyone of hfs opponentsz I have no desire to criticize the other gentlemen who aspire to be governor, but l do submit III all earnestness that they do not come up to the required standard and that there are especially good reasons why they should not be made governor. Every citizen can ascertain these reasons for himself If he will give tile sub iect fair consideration. Prof. Hiuemon IS entitled to this nom ination for several reasons. One of them is that for the first time in years the campaign has been lifted from the mire and scandal which has characterized former campaigns and has beeu put on plan commensurate with the dig nity of the office sought. It can- not be denied that Prof. Hine- mon is entitled to fall credit fer this achievement and IS entitled to thanks of the people of Ark ansas for the results He noti- fled tie other candidates at the beginning that no other kind ot campaign would be tolerated, and while one of his opponents failed to take him at his word and sought to degrade the contest by utter,ng false charge he soon saw lie had made mistake and was forced to withdraw it.

The situation in the governor $ race Is very satisfactory to Mir. Hinemon's friends, as there IS no doubt but what he is rapidly gaining strength over the state and the prospects of his election grows better as the canvass pro- gresses. The fact Is that Mr. Hinemon is a clean, honest man, and by far the superior of either his opponents in mentality, fit ness and capability for the office, and the people are finding 1t out, ], which is the reason his friends are increasing. He IS not con- nected or backed by any ring, political or otherwise. is not rum ming upon the demerits or short comings of any one. or prejudice. but simply upon his own merits and fitness for the office, which Is sufficient to elect him.-Arka- delphia Siftings Herald.

have a dozen men deputized to guard
the company's property.
The railroad officials asked that the

be made special deputy sheriffs, to-
gether with twelve others whom the
sheriff might select, The sheriff re-
fused the deputize the men from Min

IOWA LOSES LAND FIGHT.
Federal Court Denies Claim to Valu-
able Ground

aOle 0TOunQ.
Council Bluffs.-The claim of the
state of Iowa that 1000 acres of land
along the west side of the Missouri
river is within the jurisdiction of
Iowa and therefore part of the do
main of this state, was denied by
Judge Smith Mcpherson in a deci-
sion rendered in the United States
court in Council Bluffs.
The land in question was turned
into Nebraska territory twenty years
ago when the Missouri river sudden
ly changed its course and moved a
slice of the Hawkeye state into
Nebraska. At that time the estate
of John A. Creighton, who died a
year ago, secured possession of the
land by squatters' rights and has paid
the taxes on it ever ince. There has
always been a small creek on the
west side of the land and that
stream, together with Cutoff lake,
which was formed out Of the old
channel, surrounds the body of land,
making it an island within the mean
ing of the Iowa law, passed four
years ago.
That law made it possible for the
state to sell islands for 81 an acre
and the 1sen who secured its passage
quickly paid the money into the Iowa
treasury and secured title from the
state. The decision of the fedora
court upholds the title of the Creigh
ton heirs and declares the land does
not compose an island.
The land is very valuable, some
of it being worth $1,000 an acre.

for the enlightenment of thousands
of dollars while serving as superin-
tendent of the water works.
Macarthur confessed his crime and
now is doing time in Fort Madison

The action of the city has created
a sensation, and is the sequel of a
long drawn out discussion of the liza
bility of the parties mentioned. ELL

ants are Dubuque's most prominent
