,rx,NG GUNS OF GREAT UT H EvANGELISTIC CAMPAIGN
.,ott Adair Speaks to Two Large D' Crowds at the Tabernacle
 Yesterday.

1ockett Adair and an ail-star cast # assistants trained their seige guns Prescott yesterday at the taberna- O .ls Rev. Few of the Methodist . smrcb introduced him and his corps s sf workers. Adair has the reputa- t;on for getting results, and large
 1;onco came to see for themselves # be could deliver the goods and how ha did it. They found a man strong :s norsonality, round head, short neck, .lear eve. full of wit and humor. In faw introductory words he com .orded the people of Prescott for ,beir spirit of progressiveness. He made special mention of the good schools. faithful pastors, and the christian citizenship.
 He had not proceeded very far un- il the audience got a glimpse of the fact that they were listening to a man with a unique personality. He speaks of himself as "your uncle" and insisted that everybody become either hooster or a knocker. Do not be on the fence but start something. We have car load of hammers and plen- ty of handles, if you can't be a boost CT be knocker. He made it plain that he would not deal in personalities that sin was sin anywhere you found it. If draw your picture and you do not like it you ought to change your mug. Some folk say We have too much fun but thank God the devil gave me such a hot time while l served him that when I got religion want all there is in it for me"
 All through his sermons he left q trail of fireworks that kept the au- dience on the lookout; illustrations that filled the whole page, and side shots that hit the bulls eye and kept the audience with a continual smile playing over it; often he sent a shell over that rocked the audience with laughter Hard sense marks his talks and along with a keen, well oiled sar- casm that will slip under the hide of the listener before he knows it. He used the Queens English not as a sacred trust but as an instrument to get there with; and if Webster has failed to coin a word to fit his place why Adair in the street and make his pont with a street phrase that every body knows but thinks is shocking for the pulpit.
 Lockett Adair has brought very hlght grade of talent with him to help carry on the work.

ARGENTA ELECTION FURTHER
 COMPLICATED BY INJUNCTION
Duke HarstOn Asks that Commission CTS be Restrained from Issuing Certificates to Justices Peace
 Wants Court to Examine

Little Rock, Sept. 28-The election recently held in Argenta has been fur ther complicated through the applica- ton for an injunction, filed in Pulaski Chancery court by Duke Harston, ask ing that the county election commits sioners be restrained from issuing certificates to Justices of the Peace until the votes cast for such officials in Argenta be examined in court.
 Harston was nominated on the Democratic ticket for Justice of the Peace. He had consented to serve as non-active Justice. It was later claimed that he had supported George Scott, Republican constable in the pre- vious election, and this was never de- nied so Harston was dropped from the ticket and a substitution made. In the election many people wrote liar ston's name on the ticket, and it seem ed apparent that he was elected, just as Scott had been.
 Though the election judges return ed count in favor of Tom Warnell, Democrat, on recount the office was given to Scott. A recount was not made in the Justice of the Peace race. It is claimed by Harston that in two polling places the judges failed to keep a copy of the tally sheet, as re- quired by law, or if they did they have destroyed it. In another ward the judges have declined to permit liars ton or his friends from inspecting their sheet. Harston claims that when the sheets are obtained that they will show the names of many people who have not voted, or who were not en- titled to a vote. He asserts that cit izens of Argenta who favored him, but did not go to the polls, have been wis ited by some of the judges acting in the recent election, and informed that 1 their names had been voted, even though they were not present, and they have been asked to swear that they cast the ballots as counted.
 The motion for the restraining order will be argued in Chancery court Thursday and promises to uncover some interesting things in connection with Argenta politics.

All Paris is convulsed over the 'Hege-

many more he might have got will never

The Girl Who Eloped.
rom the Detroit Free Press.

From the Detroit Free Press.
Heard that story. haven't you. about
two brothers in Rolette, a little town IN
North Dakota, who played game Of
cards the other day to determine which
should marry the girl with whom both
were infatuated-and how the girl
promptly eloped with the loser? Well
did you say that the girl was fickle-that
she didn't know her own mind-that the
eloper wasn't man of his word-and all
that? Were you right? Was the girl
consulted before the game. and did she
agree to abide by the outcome? Probably
not. When men are drawing lots with
a girl as the capital prize they generally
take it for granted that the girl will ABIDE
by the result and never trouble to take
her into their conidence-that's the gen
eral rule. isn't it? Hardly fair to the
girl, Is it? And settling affairs by flip
ping pennies. rolling dice or playing cards
seldom gives perfect satisfaction. The
cd method of leaving the decision to
the girl seems still the most reliable
method, doesn't it?

Russian eggs and Siberian butter have

products were suddenly cut off from the

that while there appears to be an over
