WHEN MISSISSIPPI WAS LOW
Steamboat Captain Who onos Wadsd
Ahead to Find tho Most
Likely Channel.

Steamboat men who have been con.
tending with low water In the upper
Mississippi river the past summer
should consult with the more ancient
mariners In the Mississippi for point
ers on the movement OF boats on low
wator and then start out to restore
navigation on the stream.
Capt. William Kelly, secretary Of
the Mississippi and Ohio River Pilots
society. says this In the first season
since 1855 to his personal knowledge
that steamboats, have ceased to run
during the open season.
In the summer OF 1855, Mr.. Kelly
says, he was plotting the steamer
Stella Whipple when the water was
four inches lower than II IL now. The
boat was towing two barges down
the stream. but got stuck on the
crossing at Robinson's rocks, IA miles
below st. Paul.
Captain Kelly says he wndod into
the river ahead OF the boat TO locate
the best place to drop anchor and pull
the boat over the bar. The water
was ten inches deep. and the best
channel was located by wading. and
Captain Kelly returned to the boat
without wetting a stitch of his cloth
lDE
The method OF pulling tho boatr
over shoal crossings was to carry the
anchor out in a yawl ahead OF the
steamer. drop II to tho bottom OF the
river and pull the boat over by a line
attached to the anchor and to the cap.
stan OF the boat.
When all was ready the passengers
were transferred to the barges to
tighten the boat The run was then
made without difficulty til the next
crossing was reached, when tho

SCHEME TO STOP REPEATING
Mission Head Stamped on the Beg. gars' Wrists "i Ate an
 Hour Ago."

For the first time in ten years the shabby man wore gloves, which he had wheedled out of an opulent aims giver.
 Had to have 'em," he said, "to hide my wrists. Just see here."
 The gloves were peeled off and the inscription, q ate an hour ago." was shown on the back of each wrist.
 "Been there two weeks" said the man,. "and nothing but the mercy of heaven has kept me from starving to death. Capped on with a rubber stamp that notice was, at a little missionary place where the down and outs can drop in every evening for cup of coffee.
 "The superintendent wanted to discourage repeating. He did 1t by means of e rubbersstamp. I was one of the first guys he tried it on. The ink used that night was the kind that sticks in the wash, and every one of us poor devils who got bite then have been advertising the fact ever since. The sign queers us at other free lunch places, for nobody will believe it Is two weeks old. May be it will wear off some time. Until it does it's gloves for mine."

 The rain ot Saturday and Sun. day was general over Arkansas and streams are reported swollen in all sections. The rain was not needed, according to reports, but it has done no harm.

WHERE DO THE PENNIES COZ
Every Year-Thousande Taken From Circulation.

Thousands of one-cent pieces are lost each year. More than hundred and fifty million pennies are coined annually by the Philadslphia mint and only small percentage of them are ever accounted for. They are swept up with the rubbish of the streets.
 When the new Lincoln pennies were first placed in circulation thou sands were used as souvenirs, never again to be placed in general circula> tion. Hundreds were gold-plated and silvered, to be used as cuff linh and stickpins. Then, at nearly al country fairs there are machines that mutilate pennies-they Aatten the one-cent piece, and stamp view of the fair grounds on 1t. This does away with thousands of the pieces.
 Not long ago over 100000 pennies were shipped to Cuba and placed in circulation among the poor class of natives. Pennies are placed in chr culation almost as fast as they are coined, but very few of them are ever heard of again. The American cop per cent runs close second to the pin, of which hundreds of millions are lost every year.

GOV. BLEASE AND THE SUPREME
COURT.

In the matter between Governor
Blease and the supreme court as to
special judges and special courts, we
believe that the people of the State
generally are of the opinion that We
have had an excess of special judges
and special courts.
1t will be recalled tnat only few
years ago, there were eight circuits
in this State and eight circuit judges,
and when the proposition was sub
mitted to the legislature to increase
the number of circuits and judges to
ten, the argument was used that by
doing So We would be rid of the nee
essity for extra courts and special
judges. It was stated that population
had increased, and. Of course. busi-
ness had increased and that eight
judges were overworked, and could
not give. speedy hearing to litigants,
and that the time had come for an in
crease in the number of judges and
cir"'~'+~ A7 act was passed and the

schools of the State during this year.
The State board of education ought
to be in position to advise the COVER
nor wisely on this question as the
majority cf the board is composed OF
nractical school men and the other
members are sensible and practical
lawyers.
There can be no objection to this ac-
ton on the part of the governor but
it ought to be commended by his
friends and enemies as we'll. Under
our present law of distribution of the
school fund, the distribution is made
by the enrolment. and after that is
DONE. the trustees apportion the
amount to be used by each school in
their respective districts. AS prac-
tical result of this operation, the
white schools. located in the most
thickly settled negro communities re-
ceive the best share of the school
fund. It will not hurt to have a lit
tie investigation Of the question.

supreme court to recommend is un-
constitutional, and then furnishes
that list of "elgibles," he admits that
he will appoint on their recommenda-
ton provided the recommendation
contains the name of one Of his eligi-
bles, and, therefore, NeaKeEs and
contradicts his own position.
He can not, therefore, sustain the
position in the minds of the people
that there is no need for special
judges and that the matter has been
carried to the extreme.
We notice that some one has rec
commended the election Of one or two
extra judges. who could hold courts
when the regular judge is sick or
when there was demand for a special
court. That would really be better
than constantly picking up some law
yer, learned in the law, to hold
special court, but somehow the people
have an idea that there have been too
many special judges and extra courts,
and, therefore, would have sustained
Governor Blease if he had taken that
ground and stuck to it. and refused to
commission these special judges on
that. ground. but, as stated, when he
furnishes a list of eligibles he admits
that he will appoint on the recon-
mendation of the supreme court if
the recommendation contains the
name Of one of his elgibles.
