HAYIS NIXON
 DFN0UNCES HUNTS C0WARDLY METHODS
 

Editor Graphic :-I did not remain at the speaking last night to hear Mr. Hunts rejoinder, presuming he would have the manhood to intro- duce no new matters l am told he produced q quart of Whiskey, stating it was one of thirteen, I had given Il man of Lincoln county to be used in this campaign. If he did that it was coWardly in him not to mention it in his first speech, thereby giving me an opportunity to denounce it to his face. l believe this to be an other lie framed by the gang for him.
 1 will take the quart bottle he has and go with him to every saloon in this town and if he can show where l have purchased thirteen quart bot ties of this brand of liquor in two years, 1 will give him $100.

To the Democratic Voters of the
 11th Judicial Circuit of Arkansas:
 1 have finished my campaign in Desha and Lincoln counties, my op- ponent being with me at every ap- pointment. notice that MT. Nixon is claiming that he has Lincoln coun- ty and that he will also carry Desha He knows when making these state- ments that he has no more chance U carry Desha county than he has ''to fly to the moon' I expect to car ny Lincoln county, but to be frank I may not do more there than get an even break, but my conservative friends there insist that I will carry the county by a nice majority. My opponent is known to be great claimer. 1t will be remembered that up until within two or three days of his defeat for Prosecuting Attorney two years ago he was claiming Jefferson and Lincoln coun- ties by overwhelming majorities. Af- ter the election his friends whom he had induced to believe his state ments called him false prophet He is the same prophet, Nixon, today It is said leopard cannot change his spots', neither can a braggart change his habits.
 l have made a close canvass of Desha and Jefferson counties and I think any we'll informed man will tell you that I will carry Desha by at least two to one. I will beat Nix on in Jefferson, where the lives and characters of each of us are known to the people, more than five hun- dred votes.
 You may be sure that the honest people of this district will not place a high and responsible office, like that of prosecuting attorney, into the hands of man who boldly admits that he has misled his friends, has broken his plighted sacred word, and who also admits that in the darkness of the night he crawled ov- CT the roofs of buildings and pronely stretched himself to eavesdrop a conversation between gentlemen be- ing had in a private office
 No, my fellow citizens the people of this district will never take the eavesdropper, Nixon on the roof
 I thank my friends and the people all over the Circuit for the kind and courteous manner in which they have received my randidaiy. I will be your next prosecuting attorney and promise you that you shall have as a public official the best service of my life. I will be the prosecuting attorney of the people. I will prosecute the guilty and will see to 1t that the innocent go free. No H.

Two small boys, who are respon-
sible for a number of minor thefts,
were captured in the dry room at

the clothes of the miners, searching
for small change, big change and

They were brought to the office

IT WAS A CASE
Of RED HOT Love
At FIRST SIGHT
LOVESICK SWAIN MEETS LADY
OF HIS CHOICE AND NOW
HE is SORRY

A rather amusing incident oc-
Cured at the local depot a few
mornings ago, that caused consider
able enjoyment for the crowd that
had gathered to witness the depart
ure of the northbound train. That
is, everybody enjoyed the affair
save one individual, and he was
wrathy.
A short time ago two young la
dies arrived from San Francisco to
secure positions as entertainers
here. One was song artist while
the other excelled in dancing.
After a few days trial they con-
vinced the management of the place
where they were performing, and
also the public, that they were bum
entertainers, and not coming up to
the qualifications set forth in the
applications for places, were dis
charged. Their hank roll was some
what limited, and after a few days
spent about town, they started to
devise ways and means in which to
secure the wherewith to purchase a
ticket back to Frisco.
During their wanderings about
town they met an Italian, who fell
desperately in love with one of the
maids-whose name was Maizie, or
Dolly, or Gwendolin, or something
of that sort. Apparently 1t was love
at first sight on the part of both,
and after two days of courtship, the
son of Sunny Italy presented his
lady fair with gold bracelet. He
also made her present of cash
and before long both had the price
of railroad tickets. So the pair
made preparations to depart Tues
day morning and forgot to tell the
victim farewell. In the meantime
he got wind of the intended de-
lparture and appeared at the depot
several minutes before the train
left, accompanied by one Of the po-
lice officials. He didn't want the
girl then, but desired to have the
bracelet returned. A lengthy pow
WOW resulted and the crowd soon
caught on. He was advised to mar
ry the girl if he really loved her
and many other suggestions came
in rapid fire order.
Finally the fair damsel returned
the piece of jewelry and Pietro bade
1.-THE lady farewell in Italian, OF
words to that effect
II Now, after listening to the ad-
vice of his friends, he is preparing
to send the bracelet back to his
lady love as Christmas present
For he sure does love her dearly
Such are the ways of this cruel

MUST
KEEP OFF STREETS
AFTER CURfEW
AFTER 4 O'CLOCK YOUNGSTERS
MUST BE ACCOMPANIED
BY PARENTS

Commencing tonight the curfew
ordinance prohibiting youngsters to
be out after 8 o'clock, will be
strictly enforced, according to a
statement made today by Chief of
Police Ed Malley. All youngsters
who have a desire to be out after
nightfall must be accompanied by
their parents or guardians. There
will be no exceptions made and eX-
cuses will not go. Youngsters de-
string to attend shows after s
o'clock will also have to be accom-
panied by the proper persons.
This edict was caused by many
minor depredations that have beer
committed by the youths of this
town. Little thefts have taker
place, all have been tracked to the
youngsters, and the authorities will
now be in evidence every evening
to see that the law is obeyed.
So it is now up to the kids t.
keep off the streets after curfev
sounds if they wish to keep out o
the city bastile where they will b,
confined.

OF The Belmont
SAN FRANCISCO BROKER IN
SPECTS UNDERGROUND WORK
INGS OF BIG MINE

E. Epstine, secretary of the San
Francisco stock exchange, who has
spent the last week in southern Ne
evada, departed for the coast this
morning. Mr.. Epstine was quite
enthusiastic over the present day
condition of Tonopah and was es-
pecially jubilent over the great
showing of the Belmont Yesterday
afternoon he took a trip under
ground In the MacNamara and last
evening, accompanied by Roy King,
consulting engineer for the Bel
mont, he inspected the deeper
workings of that property.
While l had some idea concern
ing the magnitude of the big ore
body in the Belmont, the real extent
of the workings greatly exceeded
GY expectations, said Mr.. Epstine
Wis morning preparatory to board
ing the train. 81 think that l can
also say that many of the San Fran
cisco stock brokers are in ignorance
as to the real condition of the Bel
mont. 1t has one of the greatest
ore bodies that it has ever been
my pleasure to examine, and it IL
my belief that the true extent will
be found to cover more tetrritory
than oan hn INN pinod
Not only is the Belmont looking
better today than ever before, bu
this statement applies equally wei
to the other properties in the camp

PASSENGER FARES BEING
REDUCED ON EASTERN ROADS

CHICAGO, Dec 2-First-class
passenger fare between Chicago and
New York over the Michigan Cen
trail and the Panhandle routes will
be $40, after January Is, according
to advices received here yesterday
subsequent to a secret meeting in
New York between representatives
of those roads and of the Erie, Wa

and Improbable competition.
This action by the two routes
which heretofore have enjoyed a
differential rate of $19 for the
Michigan Central and SIS on the
Panhandle, followed open threats OF
another rate war instigated by the
Erie, Wabash and Grand Trunk
such as the Erie used two years age
to straighten out the complicated
emigrant rate situation.
Specifically" said an official OF
one of the roads involved, "the
Michigan Central and Panhandle

NEW YORK, Dec. 2-Final ac-
ton on New York to Chicago pas
senger rates was taken yesterday by
the roads interested, at a conference
in the rooms of the Trunk Line as
sociation. The Erie, the Grand
Trunk and the Wabash served no.
tice that unless the Pennsylvania
and New York Central abandoned
the differential rates which they
have hitherto granted on the Pan
handle and the Michigan Central
routes, rate war would be de-
clared.
The threat was not only frank,
but specific, and presaged cut
more extreme than outlined at Chi
cago. According to information here
the threatened cut rate on first
class passenger traffic to Chicago
was as low as So, second class as
low as Sc.
In addition, the rate to Boston
was to be cut and new tariffs were
to be filed forthwith. unless an ad'
iustment was reached.
In the face of such an ultimatum
the Pennsylvania and New Yorl
Central decided to yield and after
the conference adjourned announced
that the rates had been made uni
