VICTOR BRENNER, THE JEW.

That young man, Victor d. Bremen,
is certainly in the public eye, but in all
the accounts printed in the daily pa
pers about the new Lincoln pennies
and the artist who designed them,
there is no mention of the fact that
Bremen is Jew and a Russian Jew
at that, who came here as a boy, sold
matches in the street and studied art
at night in Cooper Union
Bremen won the competition abso-
lutely without any pull, political or
otherwise, solely upon the merits of
the design and the daily papers care
fully avoided to mention the fact that
Bremen is a Jew Had he been mixed
up in some disgraceful affair, figured
in some police court scandal-well,
that would have been totally differ
ent story.
Mr.. Bremen would have been care
fully labeled and all the world would
have known that he is Jew.
Then again suppose there had been
an immigration Commissioner Will
Hams at Ellis Island who demanded
that each immigrant produce $25, at
the time young Bremen landed and
the boy could not show the desired
sum and would have been turned back
to again face persecution and other
forms of tyranny in Russia, the Amer
lean nation would have lost really
great artist and Russia would have
gained nothing, for in that miserable
country his talents would never have
been developed. Independent

JEWISH LITERARY
SOCIETY

large attendance was had at the last
literary meeting of the Jewish Liter
AIRY Society, and Judging from the
opinion of those present the meet
ing was an enjoyable one.
The readings were we'll selected,
the execution good, and the society
hopes tnat this will mark the begin
ming of a series of interesting as we'll
as instructive programs.
Mr.. Bergman of Waco who was here
In the interest of the Waco Jewish
Literary Siciety (to be) took the floor
for few moments, in praise and critic
ISM and should this organization meet
with the success that the San Antonio
and the Houston societies have met
with, we will be able to say with no
small, but we hope pardonable amount
of pride, that the first literary Whit
that spread it's contagion to these, and
we hope other cities, started in Hous-
ton three years ago. We hope that the
bard of our society prophesied cor
rectly when he said that the Jewish
Literary Society of Houston started a
movement that will become national
one.
DR.. Barnstein has now returned, and
the literary committee will be able to
proceed with their work of outlining
the entire seasons program. If any
one in this or any other city has mes
sage to deliver to our Jewish young
men and women, pass the good word
to us, we will be glad to have you
occupy our platform.
On September IL, DR.. Wilmer will
deliver lecture on Midaeval Hebrew
Poverty and will be assisted by Misses
Sarah Kapner and Maud Deutchner in
selected readings from Yehuda Helavi
and Abraham Gabirol.
On the 26th, Mr. Brandes will give
the club a lecture on Jewish Partisans
and Craftsmen, and this promises to
be a lecture of no small interest.
This field is an entirely new one as
the subject has never been explored,
and Mr.. Brandes, who halls from the
north, is sure to give us something

Little Rock Ark, Sept. 11.--It was intimated in certain quarters of the city today that former Sheriff c. c. kavanaugh, brother of Judge W. M. Kavanaugh, would in short time announce for governor. It is known that for some time Mir. Kavanaugh had been writing letters over the state feeling of the politicial pulse, but it was thought that he had given up the intention of becoming "a candidate. He declines now to make any definite announcement as to his plans
 When seen today Gov. Donaghey stated he did not believe he would have opposition. but if he was to be opposed, he would rather have a Pull aski county man than any other, as there would be some glory in defeat Ing man from this section of the state. and he would certainly make good job of it. Governor Donaghey gave Former Sheriff Kavanaugh credit for being nice young man personally, and stated he knew he had many friends, which would make the race all the more interesting be- tween the two. Governor Donaghey no opposition.

HON. l. II. NIXON
 10 TIE VOTERS WILL BE .A CANDIDATE FOR PROSECUTING ATTORNEY AND
 PRESENTS HIS CLAIMS HE IS NOT A PERSECUTOR a Promises an Honest Conservative and Faithful Administration of The Office.

Hon. T. Hayis Nixon. who will be candidate for prosecuting attorney of the Eleventh Judical District, has issued the following address to the voters of Jefferson. Lincoln and Desha counties: z.4 a
 At the proper time I shall publicly announce myself as a candidate for Prosecuting Attorney. It looksT now very much like. my only opponent will be the Hon. w.. ID. Jones' ,.
 As most of you remember Julse Jones, Hon. ". r. Young and myself made this race two years agq, and while neither of us received a ri1aior- lty of all the. votes cast, Judge Jones received more votes than either Mr. Young or myself and was therefore elected, Hwhile4 was second best in that race. No one ever had a truer and more loyal set of freinds, inspired by more patriotic motives than those who championed my cause in that contest, ,l for all they said or did was without price or hope ofgreward except their i belief that if I was elected my conduct in office would be such as to reflect credit upon myself and honor upon those responsible for my success, and I now take this method of thanking each and every one of you who assist ed me in that campaign from the very bottom of my heart for anything you may have done for me in that race
 Whether I win in this contest or not, hope may never live to see the time when any man who sup ported me in that contest may have cause to regret it.
 To those of you who did not support me two years ago I wish to say (as many of you knoW) I have never held any ill will against you and no man defeated for office ever accepted the result and took his defeat more cheer full than I.
 My friends of two years ago are my friends today. and since that con- test was over and the smoke of battle had cleared away hundreds of good men who did not support me in that race from almost every part of this district have told me if I would make the race at this time I might depend upon their support, regardless of who

EQUALIZATION
 BOARD MEETS
Monday to Adjust Assessments as Re- ported by Assessor Sallee-Judge Gould Adopts New System for Assessing.

J. A. Clement, J. D. Milner and E. r. Hooker will meet tomorrow and make examination of the assessments as reported by Assessor l.. T. Sallae. These gentlemen were named as mem- bers of the Jefferson county equali- zation board by Governor Donaghey because the refusal of the members s named some days ago to serve. To make a fair estimate of the assess ments in this county, Judge James Gould will submit an abstract, in- cluding all the realty deals in this county for the past fifteen years and tho price paid for each piece of real estate. An inspection of this abstract the report will enable the board of equalization to make a more equitable report. It is believed that this pro ceedure will result in an increase in taxes in this county and enable the officers to get at better plan for assessing property in the future.
 The plan is original with County Judge Gould and will probably be adopted in other counties over the state if it proves successful

BOLD | i. ] NEGRO WAS
 HER ASSAILANT MRS. R. l.. WELLS HAD A THRILL ING EXPERIENCE AT HER HOME
 ON WEST NINTH ">'
AVENUE LAST NIGHT
The, Screams of Mrs, Wells Fright ened the Negro AWay-Son 
 Pursued Him.

When Mrs. R. L. Wells, 40 years old. living at No. 1909 west Ninth avenue, stepped out of her back door early last night to go a short distance to a .neighbor's residence to visit, a big burly negro grabbed her. She screamed and the negro released his hold and fled. She ran back into her home and her son, William Wells who was in the house hurried after her assailant, but he escaped.
 Sheriff c. M. Philpot, and the pos lice were notified of the attack and the Sheriff and his deputies hurried to the scene with the b1oodhounds. The dogs were unable to pick up a trail owing to the heavy dust between Eigth and Ninth avenues. Mrs. Wells was so badly frightened she could not give a description of her assail- ant. ss,She suffered from nervous some time after the incident.
 . A strange. negro has been seen in lkat neighborhood for several days, ,ne Meighbors say and the police are working on a clue that may lead to the arrest of the man who attacked Mrs. Wells It is thought the negro believed Mrs. Wells to be at home. alone The news of the attack spread rapidly last night downtown and created no little excitement.
