ANTS THAT GROW MUSHROOMS.
insects Make Excellent Gardeners
In South America.

Professor ]. r. Ainsworth Davis
gives latest proofs Of the ants right
to our applause. He says: In trop-
ical America the traveller in their
native region often sees thousands
of ants marching in column of route,
each holding in its powerful jaws
piece of green leaf about the size
Of sixpence. These they take to
their nests. The material is used
as an elaborate sort of mushroom
culture, requiring much more skill
and intelligence than that in which
human beings engage. The mush-
room flower sets spawn in the beds
he prepares, but the ant does not
need to do this The desired spawn
soon makes its appearance in the
chewed leaf But in its natural state
1t is inedible, and must undergo
careful treatment before it yields the
mushroom which the ant desires. The
necessary work Is done by a special
caste If gardener ants. These weed
out obnoxious germs, etc, and prun-
ing off the tips of the threads, pre-
vent them from growing into the air
and producing useless toadstools. As
a result of this the threads swell
into innmerable little rounded white
chickering's, each of which is about
one-fiftieth of an inch across. 1t Is
these which are the mushrooms.
These curious bodies constitute the
sole food of the ant-or, at any rate,
the chief food.

EAGER TO WORK
Health Regained by Right Food.

The average healthy man or wom-

But let dyspepsia or indigestion
get hold of one. and all endeavor be-

"A year ago, after recovering from
an operation" writes a Mich. lady,
my stomach and nerves began to
give me much trouble.
cat times my appetite was vora-
cious, but when INDUCED, indigestion
followed. Other times / had no ap-

not nourish me and grew weaker

II lost interest in everything and

Chairman Mack expressed ms stEonS
belief that Mr.. Bryan would not be
candidate for the presidency again.
Il do not believe that Mr.. Bryan Will
again be the candidate Of the demo-
cratic party for president" he said.
Should the legislature be democratic
in Nebraska when vacancy occurs IN
that state, as will be the case in the
fall, / believe Mr.. Bryan will be Sc
lected to fill the Office of senator
Mr. Mack was asked II he thought
the south would be recognized in the
next national convention and permit
ted to name candidate from that sec
ton of the country.
"The most available man will ibe
nominated" he replied, irrespective
of whether he comes from the north
or the south, the east or the west
Everything will depend upon his avail
ability, and otEer conditions, OF
course, which will develop in the next
four years.
Mr.. Mack had no comment to make
about the labor vote and said he did
not believe Tammany Hall had been
unfaithful to Mr. Bryan and the rest
Of the ticket.
With reference to the result of the
election and the plans OF the demo
cratic party, Mr.. Mack said:
There is not much for me to say,
and / have no apologies to make rela-
tive to the victory of the republican
party. Mr.. Bryan made the most mag
nificent fight ever waged by a candi-
date. The party was made the victim
of epresentati0n-a misrepresen-
tation that democratic success would
retard the business interests; that
was, OF course, an argument without
foundation in fact Notwithstanding
.yesteday's defeat, the democratic par
ty stands more united today than it
has in many years, and in this union
lies its future strength and power of
recuperation.
at is my intention to continue head
quarters in Buffalo and Washington
for the next four years, to keep in
touch with the leaders of all the
states, and promulgate democratic
principles and democratic thought by
the printing Of literature to aid the
leaders of the party in fighting the
high tariff, which. in all probability
the republicans will continue, notwith-
standing their promises to revise it,
am supported in this by the men,
bers of the national committee state
chairmen and other leaders all over
the country.
ON his own state. Nebraska, where
he is best known, Mr.. Bryan was vic
torious While it is true that he met
with defeat in the nation, he did so
as the candidate of his party support
ed by the six million or seven million
Of his countrymen who voted for him
and his principles he, so splendidly
espoused and with the respect and adj
miration of the entire nation"

Demonstration in Cincinnati.

At midnight Tuesday street dem
onstration, which had been making
merry downtown in Cincinnati, reach
ed the Taft residence. The candidate
responded to the concert Of brass
bands and red fire and went out on
the porch to find the entire street
blocked with a shouting throng.
After expressing his deep apprecia-
ton of the affection shown him by his
friends and neighbors in the demon
stration, Judge Taft said the election
had been a most important one, and
he hoped and believed would prove to
be wholly in the interest of the whole
country in promoting return Of
prosperity

MIR. Bryan's Statement.

While not caring to discuss at this
time the political effect Of the demo
cratic victory in his home state or
analyze the causes, William Jennings
Bryan, in an informal talk to num-
Der of friends who called on him, ex-
pressed his pleasure at the result in
Nebraska and the satisfaction it at
forded him to learn of the election of
so many of his political and personal
friends.
A delegation numbering nearly a
hundred from Lincoln, visited Mr.. Bry-
an at Fairview to express to him their
confidence and devotion, and to as
sure him that such was the sentiment
of majority of the people of his city
and state.
Mr.. Bryan, in responding, said: 81
am highly gratifed over the results
in this state, The national defeat has
not been such disappointment when
we have had so many things to con-
sole us. | hope / have convinced my
friends that running for Office has
only been an incident to my work. My
heart has never been set on holding
office, but / wanted to do certain
works and it looked as though the
presidency might offer the opportun
ity to do that work. l am sure that
in private life I can have the chance
to do something. One is not required
to hold office in order to do big things
one is simply required to do those
things within his reach, and that much
is within the reach of each Of us.
PERSONALLY, shall find as much
joy being out of Office if the returns
show 1 must be, as 1 would be in. Of
fee. appreciate very much the con-
fdence and loyalty of the people near
us 1t has been the greatest comfort
that the election has given us. The
fact that those among whom we live
have shown this confidence we appre-
ciate more than can tell you. 1t has
been very kind in you to come out
here and visit us on this day"
The defeat he sustained did not
seem to weigh heavily on Mr.. Bryan.
He was one of the most cheerful Of
those at his home, and laughed and
joked good-naturedly with his visitors
He has no other immediate plans than
to rest at his home, following his can
vass.

The Current Local promptly makes
the proper amende by publishing

that he had made certain assertions
before the Congressional Commit
tee at it's late meeting in De Soto.
In connection Herewith the Local
says:
We reproduce the above from
the REGISTER, of last week, in or
der to show our perfect fairness to
Mr.. Edgar. 1t has not been our
intention from the first to merely
sling mud at that gentleman; we
wished to call attention to the
wrong which has been for years
practiced by the people OF the
northern end of this district on the
citizens of this section, in the mat
ter of representation in the various
State committees, etc, or course
Mr.. Edgar is no more to blame
than numerous others. We print
ed the item of "news'' upon what
we had reason to believe to be
good authority, and without the
least intention of ibelittling or in
iuring anyone personally. 1t is
not a matter for personal ~reproach
but it is the principle of the the
thing which induced III to speak
of it at all. AS a matter of fact,
we are grateful to Mr.. Edgar for
explaining the circumstances OF
the affair so clearly.

A Visit to Pennington.

l attended the stock show at
Pennington last week. More than
four thousand people were there
Friday and not less than three
thousand every day. 1t was a
great success financially and ev-
cry other way, and a good deal of
stock was sold at a fair price.
Several horses from Iron county
carried off the blue ribbon, among
them Chris, a Denmark horse,
owned by w. j. Fitz, of Des Arc;
a fine horse owned by Billy Whit
worth, of Ironton, and a two year
old owned by Mr.. Rudy, west of
lronton. Several of M. l.. Clardy's
horses were awarded premiums.
The finest and best trained mare
On the ground was owned by Mr..
Taylor. She was brought from
Illinois and cost over $500. She
was the finest trained animal on
the ground.
The cattle were all frst-class
and some of them sold for a big
price. VIM. Carter of Piedmont
bought some of them. The hog

the hotel man, had a hog that
weighed $50 lbs, Hampshire stock.

good prices.

were there l noticed: Joe Rey-

AND Bro. femme, with his
"neutral" paper, is coming to the
rescue of the "gangsters." He,
with true Republican venom takes
the Democratic judges to task for
their refusal to provide school
books for the children attending
the public schools. He claims to
be a lawyer and is not excusable
on the score of ignorance for his
unwarranted assault upon Judges
Buford and Meyer. They refused
to adopt Judge Schmidt's sugges-
ton for the simple reason that
there was no warrant in law for
such procedure. (Read State
Superintendent Glass; letter and
note how far apart are he and the
"noblest judge in the United
States.") A motion to provide
food and clothing for the !children
attending the public schools would
have been just as lawful as that
made by the modest, one-faced
and self-abnegating Schmidt.
Knowing this-as lawyer he must
know it-Editor Temme's article
on this question is as desptcable
~as it is uncalled-fer. AS to expos
ing l'iniquitous practices of any
public Official" tn REGISTER will
not hesitate, be that official a DEM
ocrat or Republican. Does Mr..
femme believe, with his beloved
cotemporary, that the only way to
have honest officials is to elect Re-
publicans? That Democracy and
dishonesty are synonymous in
Iron county? Is the case so very
bad that that the money contri bu-
ted by Democrats to establish a
neutral" papers must be employ
ed in behalf of a victory for the G.
O. D.? Or has he, late an Illinois
Republican of the truest brand,
simply played a successful conf
dence game on the good people of
Des Arc?
