the wonderful migration which won the West for America. There are, however, two striking differences. The first is that the pioneering is com paratively luxurious compared to the American movement. while the na- lives instead of bening swept aside are being absorbed by intermarriase with the settler
 The ten day journey up the Irtish river from Omask into the promised land is made by steamboats which are the last word in the luxury and con- yenience of river traffic It is by no means a monotonous journey, as the river banks swarm with wild fowl and four footed game while the scenery in many places is wonderful
 That Omsk intends to become d modern city as soon as possible is in- dicated by the condition of her streets In the business sections cf the town sewers, gas mains and un- derEround telegraph and telephone wires are being installed while street car track layers are working over the l heads of the diggers Similar work
 is being done in many other of the new Siberian towns, and, so prosper ous are these places, that not a single bond issue has yet been necessary to carry on the work of municipal inn proyement American harvesting machinery and oil companies are ac- tive in this section, and an American corporation has undertaken d contra 10 build a grain elevators from one end of the Trans-Siberian railroad to the other

Little Rock, Dec 13 That . com mittee is now looking for suitable site for the county fair next fall and the Pulaski County Fair Association will make an effort to secure the Statc Fair that has been held in Hot Springs for good many years, is the state ment of Charles Leifer secretary. fle says this committee will work all year in an effort to select a park.
 The auditing committee appointed for the purpose of going over }hc books of the association and ascer- taining what was made on the county fair this fall has not reported X meet ing of the association was called for yesterday. but on account of the au- ditins committee not being ready to report it was postponed until a later date.
 The association expected to clear much money on the carnival held in November on account of rain dur ing three days of the carnival the as s0ciation about broke even, according to Secretary Leifer
 The county fair here this ra1 was pronounced the largest and best Of its kind ever held in Little Rock The farmers of the county are very en- thusiastic over the prospects of hold ing better and bigger fair next year

ELBOWS OF THE POOR.

Success, or the greatest measure of success, must depend upon adap- tation. "A shoemaker 10 his last" is an axiom old and fitting. What one does all the year one has experience ill doing
 At this season of the year when the hearts of all are mellowed with the influences and the surroundings of the Christmastide, there Is giving to each other-7but there is also that greater blessing of giving to those we do not know, but who are the most In need of our gratulties
 Frequently at this period of the year we come in close touch with an isola- led case of genuine charity need We respond. But we do not see the tenth of one per cent of the opportunity to help that those do whose business it is to seek out the needy and the af- hicted and provide for them.
 Hot Springs is fortunate in having in one field of brothe2ly endeayor such an institution as the Salvation Army and such an individual at it's helm as Adiutant Howard His all the year work is among the poor and the needy EIe knows them as others of us know our business. for that is his bhsiness. He rubs elbows with tn~ poor
 He. nor the institution he repre- gents, knows by creed or by sace. by ignorance ny guilt by innocence. by vice or by virtue Ali this institution asks is that the condition be found, and the help given Even the name of Him of whom this life work is pa'. termed misht be basphemed in no. ceipt of the charity bestowed -but it is given with a blessing and prayer of hope
 At this time of the year this nst- tuition does it's utmost to cover the field The effectiveness of teh labor field. The effectiveness of the labor zation receives We hespeak fot Ad- jutant Howard and his splendid CO., workers such assistance as a charit ble people can give. Know full we'll that this organization does its owrk well. and that its mission is among the lowliest of the lowly-and if there is where you would have the sun shine of your giadness sent this Christmastide, bestow at lravt ra1t of your charity through this band of workers

BULLY FOR FLETCHER.

Admiral Fletcher of the United States navy has spoken, and when he made himself known. he made his point plain.
 Down at Tamplco the federals were holding the city, and the rebels were bombarding the city.
 There were some citizens of other countries there whose lives were en- dangered.
 Fletcher decided that it was time for action, even if he had no definite orders from Washington. SO he ii formed both sides that they woa

.BRIGANDAGE IS
 RAMPANT IN CHINA
NUMEROUS LARGE BANDS OF OR GANlZED ROBBERS ARE OYER
 ATING IN COUNTRY.
Some of These Bands Have Assume the propotions of Armies and Roy. age Large Sections.

Pekin, Dec.-The recent exploits of White Wolf, the robber chiefain of Hupeh province, have drawn attena ion generally to brigandage in China At the present time it is being pursued as a profession, with more or les sue. cess, in several parts Of the country and the old time method of stopping a robbers depreciation by giving him a high governmental post has not al ways been successful.
 In Mongolia a considerable band is forming under an outlawcd Mongol Prince named Tao Shi-tao. apparantlv one of the numerous Mongol chietians whose extravaganza has brought them 10 ruin with Chinese money lenders. Hmghutze-red haired robbers are indigenous to Mongolia, and of these Prince Tao is reported to have collect ed l5,000 in Eastern Inner Mongolia to rayage the Manchurian and Chihili frontiers An army has been sent against him and more will doubtless be heard of him
 In Manchuria there appears to 1e a chronic state of brigandage- in- deed for fifty years past But mem. bers of the outlaws are being con .aken and executed
 At Tuning, in Kiangsu province. there is a well organized band whose purposees are not indiscrlminate kill ing and robbing but the systematic despoiling of the rich These men, however. are bening relentlessIy pur- sued by General Chang Hsun.. who only a few days ago caused the ex- ecuton of fifty-six of them at one time.
 In he south be noted one Choo who tried unsuccessful 10 loot Canton and fled to Fushau. Unfortunately some of the soldiers sent against hin threw in their lot with him, and Choo is at present driving brisk business
 Associated with White Wolf was al one time a formidable bandit chiel named Wang Tienchung. but he sue cumbad to the proffer of lucrative government position Today he is rendering valuable service to his new masters. The famous Tiger Hsu' was another wellknown robbpr whose claws We're cut by an attractive offer White Wolf was made a similar proffei bu- refused He is not only. against the present but against every gov ernment that savours of reform his ideas and actions having their roots l In the Taiping rebellion
 The immense distances, the wilder ness of many regions of China, and the want of even passahle roads make it extremely difficult 10 proceed sue cessfully against these bandits: and 10 some extent China has always suf- fured from such But it cannot te questioned that two years of reyolu. ton and relaxed authority have given them exceptional opportunities, and fine terrorism they exercise is badly holding mp trade.
