c.E. Palmer, Editor of Texar- kama Paper, and A. B.
 DeLoach Clash.
MI BLOOD IS SHED, HOWEVER
Friends lnterfered Before the Two eelIgerents Had Done Much
 Damage.

Teyarlyana.-A mild sensation was oaused on West Broad street by per oonal encounter between c. E. Palmer, editor of the Morning Four States Dress. and A. B. DeLoach, mayor on the Texas side.
 It appears that some recent per sonal allusions in the paper displeased the mayor, and he sent the editor word that if there was any repetition of inc same he would whip him.
 The parties met, and Palmer asked ne Loach if he had sent such mes sage. and he answered in the affirma- tive.
 "But you can't whip one side of me" calmly replied the newspaper man You are a d-d liar," retorted the mayor.
 Palmer's fist shot out, landing on De Loach's cheek, and the mayor coun' tered. knocking Palmers eyeglasses off. Bystanders then interfered and separated the combatants before any serious injury resulted to either.
 The trouble is said to be traceable to the recent prohibition election or matters connected herewith. Palmer Is an anti, while De Loaeh is one of the leaders on the pro side.

SURELY HAD KICK COMING
Conductors Words Must Have Made Dark Clouds Settle Around
 WouId-ee Passenger.

He was in an outlying part of the Bronx. He had an important engage ment in the lower part of Manhattan and already he was late. Finally a trolley car hove in sight and bore rapidly down on him.
 He signaled it, but in his dlsmay the speed was not slackened. There was a second of anxious thought should he or should he not jump on the car-the speed was great, but so was the distance between cars.
 And then came the back platform of the car, and he shot out his arm. clutched the hand rail-and the next instant he was standing on the plat form, feeling as though his arm had been yanked from its socket, but wear ing a self-satisfied smile.
 The conductor, inside the car, pulled the bell and the car stopped.
 Hey! Get off of herel" shouted the conductor. This is a work car."- New York Press

CONFIDENT AS TO FUTURE
Performed Ceremony to Wait Until the Bride Got a Job.

The pastor of large Baptist church In a neighboring city, whose congrega- tion included many negroes, received recently call from young colored man and woman on matrimony bent The man had been a shiftless person and the woman was known as indus trious. The preacher noticed that the bridegroom was all spruced up and concluded that the bride had made a proper member of society out of him, so he went ahead with the cere- mony with a good deal of satisfaction
 He had 1t in mind not to accept q fee from these lowly members of his flock. but the bridegroom, with a beaming face, handed over the usual small envelope and departed with his Dinah before the preacher could pro- test. When the pastor opened the envelope later he read this note:
 Dear Pastor: am sorry l cannot pay you fee now for uniting me in wedlock, but I spent all I had on we'd ding clothes. I will send you the money just as soon as Dinah gets to work again"
 The preacher got fee later from a very grateful Dinah, who seemed to think it proper that she should pay, and was overcome with surprise when the fee was given back to her as a wedding present.

Increase of knowIedqe.

The mild-mannered man was so well informed about past, present and future dates of suffragists' meetings that some one ventured the opinion that his wife must be one of the chief supporters of the cause.
 You're away of there." said an- other. That chap isn't even mar ried. He's a hotel clerk, and has to add suffragist meetings to his church. theater and political calendar for the benefit of women travellers.

Seem To Admit.

New York. Jan. 5.-Beyond admit
ting that the government suit against
the steamship combine is the result
of an agreement between the federal
district attorney. and the seventeen
lines named as defendants, the Off
cials of the transatlantic companies to-
day refused to discuss the litigation
begun to have them declared violadors
of the antitrust law.
Lawson Sanford secretary of the
Transatlantic steamship conference,
said that the federal authorities had
been after the steamship companies
for some time because of the alleged
agreement whereby the passenger
traffic was apportioned which, it was
claimed, was in violation of the Sher-
man act. and that 1t had been thought
best by both sides to have a complaint
served and the action tried on its
merits.
