PRESERVING GAME lN cAsADA.
A Method Which Might be Followed
to Ada"an,age on Our Side Of the
Mater


(From the Milwaukee Sentinel. }
The Canadian government has a
method of preserving game that pre-
serves it," said +. ID. Brown, In the
Plankinton They go on the theory
that an ounce OF prevention Is worth
a pound OF cure and put stop to the
killing when a sportsman has what
the law allows.
The game wardens up there are
generally Indians, and they are the
best kind of wardens for the reason
that the work is right IN their line
Usually when parties are going into
the woods one OF the wardens or a
deputy goes with them aud remains
out. When any of the party has Sc
cured his limit he is not allowed to
shoot any more There is ne dodging,
'lf the hunter does not listen TO the
hint offered he will find himself un-
der arrest and justice up there Is
dealt ont to all alike, and it Is GER
tain. breaking law means a stiff fine
and there is no argument about it.
In the open season for deer when
there are many hunters in the woods
aud wardens cannot accompany each
party they range the woods all the
time and woe TO the hunter who is
found to have neen careless in his
count. He will remember the incident
for a long time,
only one deer or moose Is permit
ted TO each hunter and the deer must
be bucks; no killing of does is permit
ted Under the strict enforcement
of the law the moose, which a few
years ago were in a fair way " being
wiped out, are now increasing rapid
ly Where one formerly rarely saw
moose tracks now one sees plenty of
them Our system OF game protec-
tion is laughed at by those hard-head-
ed Canadians who believe when law
is passed It is meant to be enforced
"One warden asked me, when was
up there. If 1t were true that wardens
down here would open travellers
trunks and packages and when game
was found take 1t and sell it. When
informed that 1t was true he laughed
81 Wouldn't last long hero If tool,
that way, said he we are expected
to prevent the killing of game beyond
what the law allows If | shorld noi

That is the way they do things

ARGENTA DAILY NEWS QUITS
Sensation Monger No Longer to
 be Published.
Henry J. Miller's North Side Yellow Journ
 al Henceforth will be issued Only Weekly.

Little Rock, Oct. I.-Attached to the last take of copy handed the compositors on the Argenta Daily News yesterday afternoon, ap- peared big "3o", which carried with 1t double meaning. It sig nihed that the copy was not only all in for the day, but for some time. With the issue of the News yesterday afternoon, the paper suspended publication as a daily and will in the future be issued as a weekly.
 This paper has been rather unique in the annals of Arkansas. It carried beneath the heading, the assertion. "The Only Paper in Ar kansas That Dares to Tell the Truth" and sensational in the ex- treme were many of the items which appeared in that paper un- der the impression that it was the truth. Bitter attacks were made upon Warren E. Lemon, when he was mayor of Little Rock; and al- so upon Lewis Rhoton, former prosecuting attorney.
 The paper was always Jeff Da- wis organ, and during the recent campaign it was circulated in all corners of the state by the oppon- ents of George w. Donaghey, gov ernor elect, containing articles charging him with being partizan to nonunion labor, which was disproved before a jury by the la boring men.
 Henry J. Miller, the editor and proprietor, has been in turbulent waters for the past year, on ac- C. unt of split in the ranks on that side the river. He is charged with making remarks concerning the women of Argenta recently, which went toward destroying his pop

J. 4. WALLIS WINS LAND CASE
Chancery Court Dismisses Eject
 ment Suit
Brought by ]. S. Johnson Against Capt. J. A. Wallis for Land Lying Between
 River and Palarm.

Just after noon Chancellor J. G. Wallace rendered an opinion dis missing the suit of J. $. Johnson against ]. A. Wallis, a case involv- ing several points of interest. Johnson bought the land at tax sale several years ago, and after securing deed from the county clerk, filed an ejectment suit against the occupant of the proper ty, l. A. Wallis. The land is a narrow strip of about 60 acres, lying between Palarm creek and the Arkansas river, and was never on the tax books in this county until the year it was sold as delin- quent, being placed there by County Clerk J. H. Hartje, who discovered the discrepancy in making up the real estate tax books.
 The defendant alleged that the land was not properly described on the tax books and in the advertise ment for sale, the description be, ing ''n Palarm river. 7" They also alleged that the taxes assessed were excessive by one cent; that the taxes were previously paid i'll Pulaski county on the same land, and that the county clerk had no authority to place the land on the tax books. The court sustained each of these contentious, but re- quired the defendant to redeem the land by the payment of all delin- quent taxes. The case will prob ably be appealed.
 The only other case in which a decree was rendered since yester- days report was that of Alonzo V. Dawson against Ester Dawson. Dawson filed suit for divorce against his wife, alleging deser- ton. The defendant wife filed an answer and cross complaint, alle3 : ing that the marriage was forced upon the couple to avoid a prose- cution against Dawson for seduc- tion; that she and her infant were driven from plaintiffs fathers S home and forced to live in dilap- idated log cabin, finally Icing taken by neighbors to her fathers $ home. The court made an inter locutory order granting her SIo a month, $50 attorneys fee and cus- tody of her child, Mata Dawsou.

Attorney General Kirby yester- day afternoon decided that as Dave Wade, the Craighead county negro sentenced to serve one year in the penltentiary for perjury, and who brought his commitment to the prison yesterday, five months after the sen ence had expired, had not satisfied justice by serving any portion of his sentence, he must be placed in the penitentiary. Wade was refused admittance to the peu- itentiary by the prison officials, when they saw the date of his con- mitment. In the meantime the Craighead county officials will be called on to explain why the negro was not sent to the penitentiary until after the time his sentence would have expired. It is thought that the commitment was shelved with number upon which sent ence had been suspended, and the mistake only recently discovered. Wade was placed in the peniten- tiary yesterday afternoon, and a petition for his pardon will be cir culated if he cam t be otherwise liberated.

FROM THE
 CAPITAL CITY

Little Rock, Oct. I.-SiX jury men went on record yesterday af- ternoon that it is no ofense against the laws of Arkansas to tell man negro is as good as he is, and that no ones peace could be disturbed by such statement, through a verdict rendered in the court of Justice Frank Martin
 Albert Van Beuning and Chris Miller, residents of Owen town ship, had falling out because Von Beuning took rp for an evangelist in that section who wanted negroes to come to hear his preachings. Miller talked very plainly to Von Beuning, who informed Miller that negro was a good as he, and both went to court, Von Beuning having Miller arrested and he paid a fine. Non Beuning took a change of venue to the court of Justice Martin and demanded a jury. Frank H. Dodge prosecuted the case and tooA the ground that anything which would make man fight, was sufficient to consti- tute a charge of disturbing the peace. The jury considered the case only few minutes, and dis charged Von Beuning.
 Should William Jennings Bryan win the presidency of the United States, Arkansas would be cut into a hundred pieces by one of the loudest yelling mobs which ever passed from one side of the state to the other. Earl Hodges, secretary ot the Arkansas Press Association, stated this morning that he was keeping real 4aiet on the proposed fall excursion of the members of the association, to see which way the cat is going to jump. He has the itinerary for trip through the different sections of the state, and the oth T plans so well arranged, that within week he could have all the editors on the train headed for points of interest. He says that if Bryan wins he will start the ball to rolling and show the people
