WIRE PULLING
 ALREADY BEGUN
Little Rock Framing Up For Another Mayoralty
 Election.

Little Rock Jun 30. -Altho' the next regular primaries to se-
 feet a mayor for Little Rock are yet over six months off, consider able wire pulling is now being indulged in by citizens who con- template becoming candidates.
 This campaign promises to be decidingly interesting, as the race is sure to be on corporation and anti-cor 5oration lines. There are in the hands of friends of one candidate defeated in the re- cent special primary in which w. K Duley was chosen to serve the unexpired term of w. E.
 Lennon, affidavits which will be sprung at the proper time, show ing where the Little Rock cor poratlons spent thousands of dol lars to defeat the candidate who promised 70 see the citizens re- ceive from the corporations what they are paying for. It is known the water, gas, electric light and street railway companies all worked for the election of Duley,
 but 1t was not supposed any amount of money was used to accomplish their purpose. It is said there have been some changes in the office of one of the e corporations because the information leaked out which caused the giving of the afiida- wits. Those who know Duley

WERE DEATH ON CORN.

The Dee Gives q Little Lesson IN
Natural History.
sTbere used to be an eccentric old
character In our neighborhood," said
a planter from one of the upper par
fishes, "who went by the name OF Doc
Johnson. He had never been forty
miles from the settlement in his life
and was barely able to read and write,
but he was naturally sort Of Jack OF
all trades, and somehow or other he
acquired a tremendous reputation for
sagacity.
whenever an argument arose among
the country folks Doc johnson was
pretty certain to be called in to decide
1t, and as he would rather have died
than to have admitted ignorance on
any subject some Of his statements of
fact were amazing in, the extreme.
zone day a farmer in the vicinity
received letter from his son, who had
moved up to Iowa, saying, among 9TH
er things, that the corn crop was look
ing bad and the country was being
Overrun by immigrants. The last word
stumped the old man, and after puz-
zling in vain over its meaning he hap
pened to see Doc and called him in.
johnson knew from tie peculiar
warmth Of his greeting that he was
going to be asked to solve some knotty
problem and at once assumed the
wisest air.
Doc said the farmer, pointing to
the mysterious passage in the letter,
what in thunder does that boy mean
by immigrants? What air they like,
anyhow
johnson spelled through the para
graph and, noting the reference to the
bad corn crop. began rapidly to put
two and two together.
1mmygrantsT he exclaimed to
gain time. Why, thought everybody
knowed what they wasr
"tAir they crittersr asked the farm
er cautiously.
