AN OPINION on JOHNSON.

The following is a letter written by
a prominent Montana Democrat who
believes that Governor johnson should
be nominated by the Denver eonven-
ton, and who has reasons for his be-
lief: &c..
"Your communication of the 9th
inst. to hand. I am assuredly in line
with all Democrats who believe that
the party is not tied down to one man,
or confessedly aware Of the fact that
there is but one savior for the Demo
cratic party. Hence am not Bryan
man unless he is nominated. Then
! am.
"Mr. johnson is my choice for five
good reasons:
"(a) He is Democrat and truly
typical of the class from whence came
Lincoln, Grant, Mckinley and Cleve-
land.
"(b) He is one of the class the Of
fee seeks and not the man.
"(c) He can carry the northern tier
Of states, including the two Dakotas.
No other Democrat can.

theater in Pine Bluff On that night
the Hot Time Minstrels. who have
been quietly pfaeticing hard for the
purpose. will present their stunning
minstrel show. There hasnt been an
amateur minstrel in town for many
wears and SO the interest displayed in
the Hot Time production is exceeding
w lively. Nothing has been spared
in the way of music. scenery and cos
tuning The latest coon and senti-
mental songs have been imported and
the Jokes are said to the limit, very
few heads will be spared among the
liens of the business and social world
of Pine Bluff when the end men get
to "dishing out their rich jokes and
side-splitting anecdotes The olio or
second part OF the show promises to
be refreshingly original in its take
offs of the free bridge and other
.spipe-dream movements that have
agitated the Pine Bluff people through
out the last few years. Several sur
prising Stunts, concerning which
there is much mystery, are held in re-
serve to be perpetrated on the audi
ence the night of the show without
any forewarning.
Prof. NJ. D. Mcneil and Miss Vic
toria Harrel, the popular musical
stars of the city, are the musical di
rectors of the Hot Timers. Their
names are a sufficient guarantee that
the quality of the songs rendered will
be of a high order. 1t is being ru-
mored that Miss Harrel herself will
appear in some unexpected guise. The
talent includes some of the leading
society boys in the city Among the
finest male voices in town will rem
der sentimental songs calculated to
awaken lovesickness in the breast Of
the most obdurate bachelor. Messrs
Ernest Walker, J. D. Harnett, Mont
Levey, John Gillespie and Dolphie
kastor will MARBLE to those who are
under the blissful decisions that love
really exists and the clever male
quartet consisting of Messrs. J. D.
Harnett Ralph Harris, Edward Town
er and Mont Levey will encourage
them in their pathetic blindness.
Messrs. Meyer Solmson, Mack Ham
NETT, Ben Franklin, Gurley Phillips,
James Madding and H. L. Sternberg
will do the honors as end men, sing
ing the most rolieking melodies ever
heard in cornfield or barn and telling
jokes that will make even a hypochon-
diac hold his sides with laughter. A
sensation is promised when the two
little pages, whose names are yet a
mystery, make their bow before the
puzzled audience.
4 great crowd is already assured.
The performers are making final pre-
parations and the hope ito show it to
them" when the curtain rises next
Tuesday night. The proceeds of the
show will go towards frescoing the
Temple.

Women and children are more apt to
suffer from somnambulism than men,
possibly because their brain Is more
delicately poised and therefore more
easily influenced by dreams A SOM
nambulist nearly always walks with
his eyes wide open, the pupils being
much dilated. He is a dreamer able to
act his dreams, and in this state, the
timid become fearless, the weak strong
and the stupid brilliant. Their som.
nambulistic condition presents many
curious anomalies. The somnambulist's
sense Of hearing Is not often suspend

often the same ear is deaf to loud

becomes perverted or entirely suspend.

A Tinv Death Dealer.

A most agonizing death is caused by
an insect half the size Of pea-a
small black spider. It lives in Peru,
In South America, but a few speci.
mems have reached Europe in ship
loads Of timber. Not long ago dock
laborer was unlucky enough to come
upon one In the Victoria docks while
unloading bark. The tiny death deal
er dropped upon the back of his hand
and dug it's fangs into his flesh. The
bite itself was nothing, but as soon as
the poison began to work the man
tainted with pain. Soon afterward he
came to and lived three days before
the end came. This spiders venom
scorches up the blood vessels and
spreads through all the tissues, caus
ing the most fearful agony human
being can have to bear. The worst of
it is that the victim lives at least tive
days, enduring unthinkable anguish
the whole time. This spider is luckily
not common. 1t is known as the
"specky," and when a man who knows
what the bite means Is bitten he gen.
orally blows out his brains.-London
