TO DAILY SUBSCRIBERS

The Log Cabin Democrat takes
pleasure in announcing that from
and after this date the. city circula-
ton of the Daily Edition will be in
charge of J. f. Allinder, a former
Conway young man who has recently
returned from stay of several
years N Missouri and Oklahoma. Mr..
Allinder has had considerable expe-
rience in handling carrier routes in
Kansas City, and the duties of his
position here will not be entirely new
to him.
Mr.. Allnder will have entire
of the distribution and collection of
all papers delivered by carrier in the
city. He will purchase the papers at
this office, employ carriers to deliver
them, will solicit new subscribers and
all subscriptions from and after July
l will be payable to him.
Besides arranging with him to de-
! liver papers for which subscriptions
have been paid in advance, we have
also employed Mr.. Allinder to collect
and adjust all daily subscriptions due
prior to July l. AS it has been i'm
possible for US to make regular col
lections during the past few months,
and as several different collectors
have been employed, there are doubt
less some errors in the accounts as
they appear on our books. These er-
rors Mr.. Allinder is authorized to ad-
just to the satisfaction of the sub
scribers.
We believe under the new system,
the distribution of the papers will eb
done with greater regularity, the cir
culation of the paper incr. ased and
the subscribers given better satisfac-

KNEW HIM AND LOVED HIM
the Confederate Army, az He Was
in Tlppah.

DIR. Courtenay entered the Confeder-
ate army as a surgeon, and after the
surrender found himself without home,
: family, or fortune. His right coat
sleeve dangled empty; the hand that
had saved so many lives could not
save itself 1t had been amputated
after Gettysburg, and the story goes
that Lee himself-the name is always
pronounced slowly and reverently in
Tippah-had said, 81 wish could give
my hand to save yours, DOCTOR" An
other loss, equally grave, but less
conspicuous, was that Of his left lung.
1t was this trouble that had brought
him to Tippahs mild climate, for near
ly 20 years he had lived there alone in
his three-room cottage. riding out .ev-
cry day to his little farm, five miles
from town, and reading and smoking
far into the night. His library was
the wonder of Tippah. Books in five
languages lined the walls of his house
all in the cheapest bindings, for the
doctor was poor; but, as he used to
say, it was the meat in the nut he
cared for, not the shell outside. He
never practiced medicine. except &C.
casionally among persons too poor to
pay for medical advice, or, more fire.
quently, in serious cases when called
in consultation. 1t was known that
he had never taken fee in Tippah
Every one believed implicitly in his
skill. 1t was common thing to hear
1t said. after death. Nothing could
have saved him; DR.. Courtenay said
so."-Lilian Kirk Hammond in the
Atlantic.

SWEDISH RAPID FIRING GUN
Eleven Hundred and Twenty-Five
Shots an Hour Fired From Weap-
on That Is Carried In Hand.

Ever since men began to kill each
other. which was very soon after self
ish interests began to clash, a good
share of their leisure time has been
devoted to the elevating of inventing
instruments for that killing
1t is curious that crudities still az
pear in the weapons which the
geniuses of centuries have labored
to perfect and that our eye should
be opened at this late day to almost
ludicrous imperfections in our most
cherished killing machine, the rifle.
Yet 1t is only few years since the
smoke of black powder was done
away with and comparatively mat
ter Of days since Maxim produced
his sound-choking fame-suppressing
device. And now comes news from
Sweden that an inventor there has
found means, at last, to stop the
kick which has made sore shoulders
from the time the first blunderbuss
was discharged, and has constructed
a weapon that will drop men so fast
that single marksman may dispose
of regiment in an hour
Eleven hundred and twenty five
shots to the hour from a gun that Is
carried in the hand and fired from
the shoulder is high record. If that
gun is smokeless and kickless, it is
convenient to handle and but little
trouble to operate.
The weapon has already taken rank
with the most approved and will
doubtless become part of the arma-
ment of many of the worlds armies

NEW YORK. March 1.-For few
minutes the market acted as IL it were
about ready to turn on the down grade,
and then 1t actually turned the other
way and with considerable speed, con-
sidering the limited volume of trading.
II looks as If there might be some
manipulation against a short interest,
but one finds more favorable comment
from commission houses and from trad
ers. There is quite a large short inter-
est that has made no movement to cover
as yet, and a moderately important
shortage that has been covering, this
demand being responsible for the rise
yesterday and for the continuation of
the movement today. At that the vol
ume of business was not large all told,
though many stocks showed on the
trading list that have not been impor-
tant heretofore. Brooklyn Rapid Tran
sit, General Electric, Reading, and the
Steel shares were to the fore today,
Union Pacific sharing, but Southern Pa
cthc moved sluggishly and did not
share IN the advance.
commission houses advised against
climbing for stocks, but expressed the
opinion that stocks purchased would
show profit.
The general opinion Is that the British
government will handle the coal miners

to meet the demand of the miners, and
that there will be no serious results from
the strike, admittedly one that would
result in a tie-up If permitted to go on.
