John Sharp Williams is still
stalking around with his lip
hung down because he had to re-
sort to treachery in order to de-
J feat Vardaman.
! Poor old John Allen and his
pet railroad, (the M. & o. still
hold grievance against Varda,
man about the vote of the Mer-
ger.
Percy wants Vardaman des-
troyed.
Our Blessed Grand. mother
would give her birth right to see
Vardaman dead.
If Alexander will continue his
campaign of vituperation, Sian
der and mud, is it no violent pre-
sumption that these in ntereStS
will come to his aid in any and
all his personal aspirations?
1t IS no violent presumption to
say that he is only endeavoring
to get himself before the peo-
pie with the expectation of run
ing for Governor next time.
Constable would be more be-
coming to him) But watch him
and remember these remarks.
May he not be looking at Brew
er with a "walk over" and cov-
etipggtn etipg the campaign he ne made made
gainst Scott? But Brewer did
not begin at the top. but instead
worked himself up to the top
like Vardaman.
Again, if Edward Hines would
spend hundreds of tl~susands OF
dollars, (He admitted he did, to
elect Lorimer in Illinois, because
Loimer was friendly to the lum.
Der trust, is it violent presump-
ton that he would spend a few
thousand dollars in Mississippi?
You know he has extensive tim
bered interest in South Missis-
sippi? You also know Varda-
man prevented him owning
more? | say is it not reasonable,
if they will spend so much IN H.
llnois to get in man who is
friendly, that they will spend a
small amount to both get a
friendly man in and keep an un-
friendly one out down IN sMissis-
sippi where they have suffered
so much at the hands of Varda-
mans conservative legislation?
Especially so when that un-
friendly man is the most promi-
nent figure in Southern politics
at this time? Mr.. Editor, this
is not "wind jammerlng" like
Alexander's stunts, but it is cold
facts which every honest man
should consider before casting
his vote against Vardaman,
true and tried friend of the peo-
pie. AN ounce of preventative is
better than a pound of cure. -
Let Percy get himself we'll fixed
in the Senate and it will be much
harder to get him out than now.
His interests have always been
against the interest of the peo-
ple. His brothers who came
here to help him carry the State
have interests antagonistic to
the interests of the people.
Mr.. Alexander continues his
campaign of misleading state
ment and vile charges of graft
against Vardaman. Vardaman
is answering these charges every
day of his life to the largest and
most enthusiastic audiences eyer
assembled within the state to lis

WOMEN UNDER LASH.
Masked Kentucky Mob Administers
Severe Chastisement.

CARRIED as white caps" a score or
more of women joined with a mob of
100 men in whipping two women In
Morgan county, according to dis
patches that arrived at Lexington, KY
The victims of the mob were sisters.
Mamie and Mary Combs.
The beating was most severe, as at
tested by the fact that two new buggy
whips were worn out on the bare
backs of the women. After that they
were forced into a vehicle, sent to the
nearest railroad station and put on a
train for their former home in Breath
lit county, under orders never to re-
turn.
The Combs were accused of operat-
ing an Illicit resort In an isolated sec
ton Of Morgan county. They had
been warned frequently to leave, but
paid no attention to the orders, and
| feeling against them became so in
tense that when the whipping was de
| cided upon many women insisted upon
being allowed to join the white
caps"

KANSAS HAS A CARNEGIE
WHO GIVES AWAY RICHES.
Only Has $4,000. but Wants 1t Spent
at Once.

Like Andrew Carnegie. John Booth,
an eighty year-old resident of
Manhattan, Kan, intends to give away
most Of his fortune before he dies.
Booth of course hasn't as big Il job as
has the laird Of Skibo. but he finds
plenty to do giving away his money to
projects that he feels are worthy of it.
Last fall Mr.. Booth attracted atten-
ton by a gift Of $1,000 which made
possible the establishment of a chill
dren's playground in Manhattan. The
other day he gave $1,000 to the Man
haitian Young Mems Christian associa-
ton, which needs funds to help it in its
work
II have more than $4,000. and l
don't need the money" Mr.. Booth says.
Il am eighty-seven years old, and l
don't spend $40 month"
The old philanthropist lives alone in
a two room house in Manhattan All
his sons and daughters are dead, and
he has no near relatives His chief
ambition now is to give away all his
money before he dies, and of course
there are plenty of applications for it.
But Mr.. Booth wishes to see that the
money is going to do some good, and
before any gifts can be obtained from
him it is necessary to show him just
how the money is to be spent and sat
isfy him that his gift will accomplish
something.
Mr.. Booth is a retired farmer, and all
his money he made from the soil. For
more than forty years he lived on a
farm in Riley county, and here he ac-
cumulated the $4,000 which he is now
devising means to get rid of.

An English Wart Charmer.

OF all country charms against dis
ease the greatest is the wart charm.
This writer knows a man in a little
village not far from Windsor whose
power to cause warts to disappear
brings sufferers to him from many
miles round. He simply looks at the
warts, says something to himself, and
after few weeks his patient" finds
they have all disappeared. You must
however be careful to tell him the ex-
act number Of these excrescences you
possess. for If you have, say, ten and
declare only nine the nine will vanish
leaving one which the wart doctor is
powerless to remove. AS in bridge

The Beginning of Satin.

The discovery of the principle Of
the manufacture of satin was a pure
accident The discovery was made by
a silk weaver named Octavio Mai.
During a dull period of business one
day he was pacing before his loom,
not knowing how to give a new i'm
pulse to his trade. AS he passed the
machine each time he pulled short
threads from the warp and, following
an old habit, put them into his mouth
and rolled them about. soon after
splitting them upon the floor. Later he
discovered little ball Of silk upon the
floor Of his shop and was astonished at
the brilliancy of the threads. He re-
peated the experiment and eventually
employed various mucilaginous prep
arations and succeeded in making satin

Perhaps the strangest passenger ac-
commodation ever occupied on a pas
senger steamship sailing out of New
York recently housed James Montgom-
cry Nelson Of London on a Savannah
liner. Mr.. Nelson IS a hunter and was
bound for the Everglades of Florida
He was anxious to sail on a Saturday
but when he went to book he found
that all the rooms were disposed Of
He appealed to the general passenger
traffic manager, who explained that
there was no room on the vessel Mr..
Nelson was not discouraged
II will guarantee to make myself
comfortable if you will let me sail"
he said TO the manager Il am going
to Florida to camp out. am carry
ing a portable house which l built on

little house on deck. will be mighty
comfortable, and | will be no trouble"
After considering the matter this
was agreed to, and when the vessel
sailed two sailors. under the direction
of Mr.. Nelson. set up his small house
on the after deck.
A wireless message from the captain
of the ship said that Nelson's house
was great and the Englishman had
been holding an almost continual re-
ception since the vessel sailed.

And This is What Prompted Toltil
Wreck Frisco Passenger, MIL
ing Engineer.

Fort Smith, Ark, Aug. 24.-That re-
venge was the motive that promoted
Jesse Poe, age seventeen, Of Garfield,
Ark, self confessed train wreeker to
ditch Frisco passenger train No 3 at
Garfield last Friday night killing En-
gineer John Schapler, OF Springfield,
was the assertion today Of secret SET
vice officers who have baen in7estigat-
ing the wreck for the road Frisco Of
ficers say that Pee sought revenge on
the road for being Put off the train
and that he placed a spike Oh the rails
in front of No. 8. The imprint of the
spike was found On the rails ard this
led to the theory that the wreck WAS a
deliberate plot.
No further arrests have been made
in the case, but within a day or so,
it is said others will be in jail.
The wreck on Friday night was fol-
lowed by an attempted wreck on Sat-
urday and Sunday night of the same

derailed Sunday night by an obstruc-
ton that had been placed on the

SIX TRADES INVOLVED
ShopmeD Being Urged to Endorse the
! Strike Movement Confer
in New York.

Chicago, HI, Aug 24.-While tele-
grams We're pouring into Chicago to-
day asking endorsements for strikes
of shopmen, ON all the Hartman lines
west OF the Mississippi, every effort
was being made by the Union Off
Gals to get some recognition or state
ment from high officials of the rail-
road in order to ward off a stampede
Walkout of the employees
President James W. Kline, of the
Blacksmiths, held a conference with
Vice President Julius Kruppschmitt,
of the Union Pacific, and discussed the
situation. Mr.. kruppsehmitt said that
as the proposition Of the shop men
Was SO tremendous and meant so
much it was impossible to meet the
representatives of the shopmen to
make a joint contract with the six
trades involved The whole matter
is in the hands of the board of direc-
tors, said Mr.. Kruppschmitt. THE
members know the situation
After the conference President
Kline notified the presidents of the
various trades of the result of his
talk with Vice President Kruppschmtt
and asked them to wire whether they
favored going to San Francisco.
The labor officials believe Vice
president kruppSchmitt, who has been
handling the matter regarding the
shopmen, has full power to adjust the
controversy. But it was said, how
ever, that because of the seriousness
of the situation it might be dangerous
for the presidents to go to San Fran
cisco as it would be impossible to get
there in the next two or three weeks.
This may lead them to go to New York
to see Judge Lovett and the directors
of the Hartman lines if necessary.
In the meantime no answer has been
sent to the shopmen who have asked
ed.
The trades involved are the sheet
and metal workers, railway carmen
Slacksmiths, boilermakers, machinists
nd steam filters. The latter are af-
.cted in only few shops. Accord
lng to kilograms sent to the Internal
ional presidents there is great unrest
among all classes.

Big INCREASE
IS EXPECTED
DR.. Brsugh Believes That Attendance
ut University Will BE Larger Now.

Despite the fact that the prepara-
/ tory department of the University of
Arkansas has been abolished last year
being the final term for preparatory
work at Fayetteville, it is the opinion
of DR.. Charles H1llman Brough, after
ia personal canvass of nearly half the
counties of the state, that the attend
ance at the university the ensuing
year will be larger than ever before
This is regarded as little short of re-
markable, since less than half dozen
years ago the preparatory students
outnumbered the strictly collegiate
students.
II have visited 80 counties and
spoken in all of them im the interest
of the university, since the close of
the session. said Mr.. Brough, while
in the city last afternoon, and | can
say conservatively that the attendance
of straight collegiate students in 1911
~ will exceed that of any former
year of the school, based OH the pros
pect in the counties | have visited.
Out of the 80 counties visited, only
one will not have an increase in the
number of students it sends to Fay
ctteville over former sessions. Inter-
est in the states highest educational
institution was never more pronounce
cd than now" he added.

and Captured Supposed
Murderer.

A. Preston, a negro who has been
identified as six Shooter" an alias
tackled on him because of his handy
work with the revolver, lies in the
county Jail here badly wounded as the
result of an attempt he made to shoot
Constable W. A. Tate, of Barraque
township, yesterday morning when the
officer was preparing to arrest him On
a suspicion of being the negro who
shot and killed J. Baker, white, fore
man for the Rock Island, at Dagemier,
near Brinkley, on July 20. Preston
has load of buckshot in his back but
is not thought to be seriously hurt.
Tate had been shadOwing Preston
and early yesterday morning he saw
him near the station at Kearney, and
told him he was under arrest. Pres
ton ran, at the same time drawing
gun. AS he hurried away Tate fired
several shots at him and Preston, who
was working for lumber company
there, reached his cabin. Tate, in the
meantime, secured shotgun and went
to the place las he neared the house
Preston ran out backdoor and Tate
sent volley of buckshot after him.
Preston ran into the woods and got
away. He was picked up later by a
crew of an Iron Mountain gravel train
and taken to Redfield. There he was
arrested by A. F. Mcneil, and later
brought to this city by that officer and
Tate. 1t was rumored here that Ar
thur Peyton, the negro who shot and
killed Lewis Gammill near Sheridan
several weeks ago, had been captured,
and the report created considerable
excitement in this city during the
morning. The report was soon shat
tered, however.
Sheriff Bounds, of Monroe county,
came here yesterday afternoon to
identify the prisoner as the one who
shot Baker near Brinkley. He stated
last night that he did not believe
Preston was the man wanted, but is
st!ll investigating tie affair.
